Teresa Giudice Would Go To Prison “20 More Times” To Not Lose Her Mom; Still Dials Her Mom’s Number Out Of Habit

The Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers became very accustomed to a very stoic Teresa Giudice smiling her way through her problems over the years. This season, the fans have seen a more raw side of the OG cast member after the loss of her mother Antonia Gorga. If you didn’t tear up watching the Season 8 premiere, props to you because I could not handle all of the emotion from the Giudice/Gorga family during that opening segment.

Aside from being very open about the loss of her mother, Teresa has actually voiced her anger with currently imprisoned husband Joe Giudice. This is a far cry from the woman who refused to admit her home was in foreclosure, say the words “jail” or “prison,” and loved bragging about how much she was into her “Juicy Joe” even in the midst of very public legal issues.

Teresa explained why she has been so open about her feelings this season during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Teresa admitted, “I still feel like it’s not real. Like, I was just in London and as soon as I got there, matter of fact — as soon I as landed in L.A. — I dialed my mom’s number. So, I feel like it’s still not real to me.” That is so heartbreaking.

Teresa said, “I lost my mom [and] that got me really upset and angry. Not only that, but Teresa actually uttered the word “prison” instead of saying “camp” or referencing when she was “way.” Teresa confessed,”That’s what made me open up, because I feel like I lost out, those 11 and a half months that I was in prison, you know, [spending time with] my mom.”

She continued, “I could’ve been with my mom those 11 and a half months. I got really angry and I expressed myself, and I guess all those feelings came out, which I have to say was really therapeutic.”

Teresa even said, “I guess it was something that needed to come out … it was one of the worst times in my life. I would go away 20 more times than, you know, not to lose my mom.” That is one of the saddest things I have heard in a long time. Poor Tre.

Peggy Sulahian Dishes On Iceland, Shannon Beador’s Complaining, And Lydia McLaughlin’s Hurt Feelings

Can you imagine never having gone on a girls’ trip in your life and you decide the vacation that wets your feet is to fly halfway around the world with Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Kelly Dodd, Meghan Edmonds, and Lydia McLaughlin? In my mind, that group is who you travel with if you want to cold turkey nix any future lady getaways. Of course, Peggy Sulahian must have known what she was getting into when she joined this motley crew on Real Housewives of Orange County, right? RIGHT??

In her blog for this week’s episode, Peggy describes the most frightening experience to date, and she’s not referring to Shannon’s bed head after a seventeen hour plane ride or even that fermented shark blob that had half her co-stars gagging up a lung. Before delving into the terrifying, Peggy focuses on the positive…and the obvious (read: traveling to Iceland from the OC, generally). She begins, “Our trip to Iceland began with a long plane ride. We were greeted with cold weather and in anticipation of Orange County girls being unprepared for the obvious, Lydia planned a shopping trip to head off any problems. Girls and shopping is a classic combination which can bring out the best in every situation. As such, Vicki and Tamra started to reconnect. You could see they had a bond. They understood each other and hopefully, things will get better.” Why yes, it is a long flight. And no, none of you packed appropriately.

There were glimpses of Vicki/Tamra 24.0 in the works, and Peggy had high hopes for a reconciliation. Oh well on that front! She recalls, “We finally arrived at Hotel Ranga — not been the five star accommodations we might have imagined, but it was still very luxurious. Our suites were decorated differently and each room was detailed with the country of origin’s specifications. The low table in Tamra’s room is where I saw she and Vicki connect again and I think something is brewing. My room was very comfortable, and I enjoyed the peace and quiet it offered,” adding, “That evening, Fridrik offered us Black Death (a specialty drink), fermented shark, and puffin. All I can say is that after I tasted the Black Death, I thought it would be better if I passed on the rest. Thank you to Fridrik for introducing us to these delicacies.” Truth be told, that fermented shark situation has me all kinds of curious.

Addressing Group-Text-Gate (starring Lydia’s Swiss Miss braids), Peggy continues, “The following day, we explored a black sand beach on ATVs. Wow! It was stunning. The waves on the beach were glistening, and I don’t understand why the ladies weren’t enjoying the scenery. It felt as though everyone was a little bored and wanted to get back. I felt bad because I am certain Lydia spent time planning these outings. But that evening when she was inadvertently left out of the group text, I believe she was hurt. Why wouldn’t she feel sad? She planned this trip, and she should have been informed if people were not going to be joining us. I would understand if I was left out, but the one who invited us should be kept in the loop. Though Lydia’s feelings were hurt, Vicki was definitely taking on the role of big sister and counseling her to apologize for her behavior. Vicki stated that it is important that people can learn from her mistakes.”

Of the amazing glacier hike, Peggy shares, “When we arrived at the glacier for our hike, we were greeted by Olaf, Soffia, and the 18 tons of equipment we had to strap on. Safety first! It was complicated gear. Throughout the hike, I kept hearing Shannon complain, not about anything in particular, just complain. We were in the middle of nowhere, it was stunningly beautiful. The views were breathtaking, and it was like we were on top of the world. Why are you still talking? Just be quiet and enjoy! I was so happy that I went on that trip. I missed my family, but I don’t think I would have experienced any of it if it weren’t for Lydia and Nobleman!”

After the tiresome excursion, Peggy remembers how scared she was by Vicki’s sudden illness. Her symptoms (and story line) certainly point to a heart attack which is incredibly alarming. She concludes, “Finally, after a long day with so much activity, we headed off to our rooms to rest and get ready for dinner. Vicki told me she wasn’t feeling well. When I arrived, she was vomiting, had pain in her arm, and was sweating. It couldn’t be good. I was worried, scared and uncertain about what was happening. Thank goodness the police arrived and announced that the ambulance was on its way. I have never been so scared in my life.”

Anyone want to get in on an over/under of how long it will be until Peggy takes another girls’ trip?

Exclusive Interview With The Survivor: HHH Contestant Voted Out of Episode 5 – Spoilers!

We’re inching our way towards the merge, as we have now said good-bye to a fifth contestant this season on Survivor. Already over a third of the way through the game, there have been a few blindsides and a few tense Tribal Councils, but mostly, we’ve said good-bye to players that weren’t long for the game or that haven’t been given all that much air-time through five episodes. That being said, tonight’s big decision by one player could end up being a pivotal moment in the game that we look back on and wonder “what if” this person would have chose differently?

Caution, as spoilers from this week’s episode are to follow! Turn back now! If you want to get caught up, be sure to check out the Episode 5 Recap here.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE, AND THIS IS YOUR LAST *SPOILER* WARNING!

Roark Luskin, the 27-year-old social worker from Palo Alto, California, took the blunt of Ryan’s decision to stick with new ally Chrissy over his original ally Ali. We might have seen it coming, given the fact that Roark has struggled to get any air-time this season, compared to Chrissy who has been shown as an important strategic player. Tonight marked Roark’s first and final Tribal Council, never having to go there previously since her Healers tribe managed to avoid Tribal altogether during the first portion of the game. That might have played into Roark’s minimal screen-time, but even after the tribe swap, we only really got to see her play during this week’s episode. She was the lone Healer on her new tribe, but instead of becoming the swing vote, she ended up being the easy first post-swap target.

I had the chance to speak to Roark today on the FilmSurvivor Podcast (the full audio of which you can find and download at the bottom of this article). But here were some highlights:

ROARK INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:

On her relationship with Chrissy:

Roark Luskin: It started on Day Nine, which was day one of the swap, Chrissy made it very clear from that moment that she wanted to get rid of me and I think that was both a personal and a strategic decision. She and I were just sort of oil and water out there. I certainly wonder what it would be like if we had met in the real world…we’re both smart, ambitious women who want big things for the world, but because we met out there, there was no bridge to be built.

On her lack of air-time through the first four episodes:

Roark: [The Survivor Producers] are absolutely incredible story-tellers, they’re so good at their jobs…this is my boot, I had my little capsule moment but this is not my story. But watching all of these people that I had such affection for is really, really wonderful. Just hearing their voices again, getting to celebrate with them through this is really, really fun.

On why she thinks Ryan may have ultimately decided to vote her out instead of Chrissy:

Roark: I really liked Ryan, you know, in a lot of our pre-game interviews before we had even met, me and Ryan both had said that we wanted to work together. In an alternate universe where he and I were on a starting tribe, I think things could have looked really different. In a way, that breaks my heart, because I  adore Ryan and would have loved to have seen a Roark-Ryan partnership play out. Unfortunately that did not come to fruition. But one of my regrets is that I did not spend enough time one-on-one with Ryan…I leaned too much on Ali to be a go-between, and that was 100% my fault…but I really did not spend enough time with Ryan. And I wonder if we had really hashed out what we saw going forward, again, this is a woulda-shoulda-coulda if things would have been a bit different had we had the opportunity to really hash it out.

Lydia McLaughlin Regrets Making A Scene In Iceland

After watching this week’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Lydia McLaughlin is regretful about a few things (menu throwing, to name one) and says she now sees Tamra Judge‘s side of things a little better, too.

Lydia shared in her Bravo blog, “The first night we arrived, Fridrik, our host, had planned an Icelandic dinner and drinks for us. Shannon and Tamra never texted me to say they weren’t coming. I totally understand that we had been traveling all day and night and if they wanted to stay in, no big deal. However, no one told me that.”

Lydia blogs about being left out of the group text. “When we went to my room for a night cap, and I heard about the group text, my feelings were definitely hurt. I’m an inclusive person, and apparently, I’m really sensitive about being left out. I simply found it odd that someone wouldn’t text the host but would text everyone else. In my mind, I’m thinking, “Why would Tamra leave me out? Did they all want to talk behind my back?” It wasn’t a good feeling, and I had planned to bring it up to Tamra the next day.”

Lydia does feel bad about losing her shit at lunch and tossing the menu, “The next day at lunch, I went to the table, and Shannon was sitting there, whispering to Tamra about it. This was annoying because I didn’t want to make it into a big ordeal. When Tamra is defensive and not hearing my heart, I am extremely frustrated. I feel like I didn’t want it to be a big deal, and somehow the situation spun out and became a scene. I was also frustrated that she was dismissing my feelings. I guess I was just looking for a simple apology. I never should have thrown the menu, and I regret losing my temper.”

Lydia shares that she is “so grateful that Vicki talked to me and gave me advice.” And says she now sees Tamra‘s reaction, “I’m also thankful I was able to pull Tamra aside and talk it out because that is what friends do. At the end of the day, I think it was an oversight, and I don’t think Tamra did it on purpose. I really treasure my friendship with Tamra and would never want something as silly as a group text to jeopardize that. Watching it all back, I understand Tamra’s reaction more.”

Danielle Staub Says She Has Proof Of What Dolores Catania Said; Calls Her A Jealous Bitch On Watch What Happens Live

Danielle Staub and Housewives Superfan Michael Rapaport were guests in the clubhouse last night on Watch What Happens Live. Danielle was her typical blunt self, bashing Dolores Catania and give her opinions on all things Real Housewives of New Jersey.

On Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice spatting over the restaurant, Danielle said “I think it’s just family banter, to be honest with you. I think they’re comfortable with each other and I think they’re willing to say whatever it is that’s on their minds and that’s a good thing. And I wouldn’t want to be a waitress either!”

Michael shared his opinion on Dolores. He calls it the “two year jinx” – that all of the new housewives come in relatively sweet and normal and have a great first season and then something happens and they are all a little nuts in their second season. He has a point.

Danielle‘s uninterrupted side of things with Dolores Catania: “I’ve never heard anyone use that word so often as she did. I gotta be honest with you, she said what she said. I know what she said. I have proof of what she said and she better be careful because shots have been fired and I’m ready to fire back. She hit me below the belt, I’m gonna go lower.”

A viewer asked Danielle what she’d say to Kim G if she ran into her and Danielle replied with a shady “who?”.

A caller asked if she’d ever consider making amends with Jacqueline Laurita, Dina Manzo or Caroline Manzo. Danielle said, “Dina. That’s all I have to say.”

The next caller up wanted to know why Dolores is so mistrusting of Danielle. “I think because she’s a jealous bitch who can’t get enough of me. She had a cake walk, lets face it. We can all agree there. I’m back, she’s not gonna be able to walk on the little cake walk anymore. I’m just gonna take her to her tasks and make her earn her way.”Andy and Michael exchanged a quick “WTF?” glance.

Danielle says that she “100%” thinks that Teresa will stay with Joe Giudice when he gets out of prison. “I really do believe in their relationship and their love and I’ve seen it firsthand, things you guys don’t get to see. They’re a really beautiful couple and they’re amazing together.”
