Reality Check: Real Housewives of NJ

Last night Bravo took viewers back to Jersey for another season of Real Housewife drama and let me start off by saying.... Danielle, move the hell on with your life! Doing random drive bys with your daughters in the car? Not a good look. Complaining to anyone and everyone in ear shot about your drama with a group of women from last year? Not a good look. When your pre-teen daughters are giving you more sound advice than you can come up with... you have real issues. Is Jersey that small that you can't find other people to socialize with? Grown women should be able to move on with their lives if a friendship doesn't work out...

The preview of the season looks to be like more of the same drama... a trainwreck you can't turn away from. I don't know how much room I have in my life for grown women acting like kids. I graduated from high school years ago... I don't like being taken back there lol...

Nevertheless, new episodes air Monday nights on Bravo!

New Housewives on the block

(Pictured L-R) Jacqueline, Dina, Danielle, Caroline, and Teresa

In the 4th installment of the "Housewives" series, we find ourselves in New Jersey and a fly on the wall in the lives of 5 new women:

1. Teresa Giudice - The mother of 3 adorable girls that spends money like we aren't in a recession, and is a definite "stage mom" in training.

2. Jacqueline Laurita - The level-headed peace maker of the group. She is married to the brother of Dina and Caroline Manzo and friends with both Teresa and Danielle.

3. Dina Manzo - Her sister is Caroline (sister-in-law is Jacqueline) and they're married to brothers...talk about keeping it in the family. She has a teenage daughter and seems to enjoy living the fabulous life.

4. Caroline Manzo - She is my favorite character and definitely an "old school, Italian mother" as she says. She's all about her kids, husband, and being the best wife/mother that she can be. She assists her husband running "The Brownstone" one of New Jersey's premier event facilities and is also the sister to Dina.

5. Danielle Staub - The definite wild card of the season, on the first episode we meet Danielle as she prepares to finally meet the guy she's been having a 2 year internet fling with. She says that the "phone sex was amazing" and mentions that she met the man on a site for millionaire men. She brags about being the first person in New Jersey to have an American Express Black Card (she's divorced now so I wonder if that card left along with her husband)
