Joisy Recap: Posh Problems

I have to be honest here: I am completely obsessed with the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The past two seasons have been nothing short of epic. The family dinners, the matriarchal showdowns, and the unbeWEAVEable scandals have given America even more reasons to hate on the state of New Jersey and have given me all the more reason to use words like Joisy, bubbies, and familia. When learning that the much despised Danielle Staub would not be a member of the cast this season I was more than a little nervous. I was nervous that the absolute insanity that I had grown to love would be missing and instead replaced with mundane family drama. My hunch was not incorrect, this season is going to be completely filled with la familia, but the drama that is present is anything but mundane.

Bravo has introduced us to two new cast members, Melissa Gorga and Kathy Wakile, both of whom are related to our beloved Teresa Giudice. These family members don't play nice. As we learned in the first episode there is deep-seated drama between Teresa and her brother Joe, who is Melissa's husband. It seems to stem from Teresa's fame and Joe's lack of fame, but that could just be me. Joe and Melissa seem to be little jellie bellies about Teresa winning her way into America's pop culture obsessed hearts. Last week's premiere gave us a huge preview into the intense drama that is sure to be brewing all season long. Joe and Melissa's sons christening was anything but a Pius occasion. There was bubbling over of the famous Italian temper which resulted in a full on brawl between Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga. We discovered the historical tension between the two because of Teresa and Joe's fathers attitude towards both his son and son-in-law. As much as Joe argues that this all was started by Teresa and Joe, from my point of view the entire christening mess was all his doing. I have a feeling that the drama this season is going to be a tug-o-war match of epic proportions.

The Cutest Joisy Diva's

This week's episode which was centered around the historical Posh Fashion Show (Can we please flash back to last years weave pull...), so you knew it wasn't going to disappoint. Before diving right into the fashion drama rama, I want to take a second to highlight the parenting we see of this show. We are all in awe of the ultimate matriarch, Caroline Manzo. She is obviously a proud mama bear, almost too much so, but you know with 100 percent certainty that she loves her children. So, I want to highlight another one of our wives, my much beloved Teresa Giudice. Tria is given a ton of crap because of her economic crisis and her famous Italian temper, but boy does she love her kids and she is actually doing good job raising those little hams. She is spending time with them, as seen on last nights Halloween festivities (a moment where her brother and Melissa chose to go to a club instead of spend quality time with the kids...), and those girls are turning out to be adorable. I am a proud member of Miliania's Mafia because that child is the absolute funniest thing I have ever seen.



The Classiest of Kims

So, Posh Fashion Show 2.0 was a success for the most part. The drama was kept to a minimum, even with all of Kim G's instigating. Please don't get me started on that woman. She is a crazy old lady, stirring the pot to continue on her 15 minutes of fame. Moving on from that, we see the beginnings of a fight between first cousins Teresa and Kathy. Kathy had no reason to pull Teresa aside at the show to question her parenting skills. She knew that would get a rise from Teresa. I thought I like Kathy, but now I'm not so sure about her. Only time will tell, but currently I'm on Tria's Team Fabulous.
