‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ Season 4 Episode 11 Recap
After the waste of time that was therapy for Teresa and her brother, Joe, the families reunite at the Gorga home for Antonia’s sixth birthday party… sans Joe Giudice. Baby steps, people! Of course, the most awkward component of the party would have to be Jacqueline and Teresa having to interact, given that their last time talking ended up with Jacqueline cursing Teresa out. In Manzo news, Albie is gearing up to introduce his new girlfriend, Lindsey, to the Mama Manzos: Caroline and Lauren. Will they approve? Take a look at my favorite scenes from this week’s episode!
Melissa teases Antonia by asking her how old she is on her birthday, and adorable Antonia responds, “First I was five, now I’m…” and I can just hear Teresa gearing up to comment that now even Antonia is copying a Giudice girl. If you may recall, “First you were one, then you were two, then you were three…” were the opening lyrics of Gia’s song dedicated to Milania.
Milania becomes Teresa’s worst PR nightmare when she says, of Joe, “He never wants to see his kids!” Then she proceeds to call him a big poop. You’ve just been told, Joe; now what’re you gonna do about it? That’s right: he walks out of the room with no response.
I still want to know the back story of Chateau. Caroline is doubtful because she has to put up the money for Lauren’s makeup studio. I kind of like the idea of Cafface; it sounds like a cute concept and makeup studios are a dime a dozen, so this could help them to stand out.
I wouldn’t exactly call the therapist’s office a horrible experience; it’s kind of shitty that Joe and Teresa decided immediately not to take the therapists advice, like literally in the waiting room, and then got into a big fight. I also didn’t get the impression that the therapist didn’t like Teresa, but I certainly wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t!
Melissa invites Teresa over for Sunday dinner; cannot wait to see how this goes! Here we go with the sprinkle cookies talk again.
In what I perceive as kind of a dick move, Joe keeps Teresa talking about Jacqueline even as he sees she is approaching slowly behind her, without warning Teresa to shut up. Gia gives Jacqueline a hug as a way of making up, then takes a step backwards in talking about her non-existent boobs. Girlll, you are going to regret that!
Corte Ellis comes over to work with Melissa on a performance for Beatstock, and I instictively cringe. Please don’t let this be another rendition of Gretchen Rossi with the Pussycat Dolls! Why must these housewives continue to embarrasses us themselves through trying talents that are not exactly… natural to them?
Over in Hoboken, we see Albie’s girlfriend sneak out of the house with a garbage bag full of Plan B or a Tom Cruise mask. Not exactly the best way to introduce yourself to the show, but I’m willing to give her another shot.
Miss Gia is auditioning for Beatstock in hot pink booty shorts amongst kids who look much older than her, or at least taller. And she can definitely hold her own on the dance floor! Who else loved her facial expressions, too?
As if Gia wasn’t going to make the cut! Please; Beatstock knows what a big draw Gia would be.
Unbeknownst to one another, Melissa is also preparing for Beatstock with a choreographer. Despite looking at least half-black, she has the dance moves of an 80-something-year-old white woman, and could definitely take a tip or two from her niece. It’s all the in the attitude!
At the Wakile house, the family is preparing for Rosie and her date to come for a typical Italian family dinner! Everyone seems a little anxious but excited, even Kathy’s mother. Rosie and Brianne arrive and it seems like everyone is getting along well.
Greg, Lauren, and Jacqueline roll out to the city to celebrate Greg’s birthday, and apparently Greg thinks it is just the three of them celebrating. Because they hang out like that so often? Lauren is nervous to meet Albie’s girlfriend, because she is afraid she will be a whore. What about professional cheerleader screams whore to you?!
Is it this?
Brianne runs a restaturant in the city, and says her original goal was to be a pediatric cardiac surgeon. She seems like a good fit for Rosie, who also has a high-stress, busy job. I could have done without hearing Rich say “muff-diving,” but I’ll let that one go.
Joe confuses us all by wearing a shirt so unbuttoned that all his chest hair is exposed and then grabs Chris Laurita’s crotch. But he’s not gay; of course not!
Chris tells Lindsey to call Caroline “Mom” or “Red.” I’m sure that would go over swimmingly. P.S. why is Chris dressed like Where’s Waldo? Lauren and Lindsey meet, and Melissa awkwardly instructs Lauren to “be nice.” Sure, Laur: be nice to the skinny bitch.
The housewives give Lindsey advice on how to act like a “wifey,” and it looks like she already knows what she’s doing, as we saw her taking out the trash. Now if only she took Teresa out with it! JUST KIDDING.
Caroline is paranoid about Albie putting Lindsey before blk water and I don’t know why he would have to choose one over the other. Caroline seems like she should worry less and drink more. That’s an order.
Greg does a body shot off of Joe Gorga, and then Joe proceeds to dance closely with some other gay men. All’s well that ends well. When is this road trip to Napa Valley, anyway?

I can’t wait. I wanna laugh at Broke Betty ( theresa) and Peon Patty ( jaeulcqine). I like Danielle. These women have pack mentality and motto seems to be get down or lay down and Danielle isn’t laying down. Glad she pressed charges on the lil bad kid(Bitter Broad in training). Peon Patty(Jacqueline) has no control over her kid. Her PUNISHMENT’ for flunking HS was a new SUV. Yeah that REALLY taught her some morals. AND to put your foot down you let her move in with her boyfriend(basically) you chicks get what you give and Danielle is giving as good as she’s getting. the Difference????Danielle is STANDING UP AND STANDING ALONE WHILE DOING IT. Caroline Pitiful Polly) didn’t get her way so she SHE resorts to calling names. THAT S WHAT YOU GET??? You been talking ish about Danielle for 3 years and you think your just going to sit her down and TELL HER what YOU wanted???? If i was Danielle i would have laughed dead in your face. LOUD CACKLING LAUGH to draw attention
before that she was not the kind of person to go aunord and start trouble. Wrong She said she and Tree were like family. She loved Trees kids. When Dansmelly was attacking Tree she stood up for her. What a crock of poopoo Caroline, you are a lying backstabbing piece of crap! I really did like you in the beggining. I thought you were a great friend and was the person who would give the shirt off her back to a friend. It pisses me off you fooled me. Tree stood behind Assley when she got in trouble with Dansmelly. She and Joe went everywhere with you guys. What was the trip to Italy? She and her family took all of the Manzos and there familes into there homes and welcomed them. Very cheesie of you Caro. The more she goes on T.V. shows to promote her hate the more I see her for what she is. Evil mouthed, and worse FAKE! Tree has her faults,(many) but she has the class to not go aunord and badmouth people who have done her wrong. I have to warn all HW who even think of trusting or becoming involved with the Manzos watch your backs! Manzos the day will come when you will be the ones who will be on the s t end of the stick and all the brown sauce in the world wont help you .lol pun intended
