This week on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle threw a botox/spa party for all of the housewives in her home. Dina was bringing the snark but in my opinion, botox is a little nuts to do. I mean isn’t botulism something that if you get you die, but you will inject it into your face? I agree with Caroline it is weird, but as Theresa says to each their own. Theresa had Gia meet Wilhemina agents, I have to say Theresa is not a stage mom. You can see that Gia is just as interested in modeling and acting as Theresa is. The agent was not over the moon about Gia and Theresa had to redo her comp cards. Theresa had a huge photo shoot done and Gia’s new pictures looked great.Jacqueline Laurita’s daughter, Ashley failed two classes and has to go to summer school, I agree with Caroline that school is a job and she should have passed. Jacqueline was mad that her husband Chris bought Ashley a car. I agree with Albie, what would she get if she got locked up in jail? Many people do not take school seriously but it is a luxury to go to private school so you should at least pass your classes. Danielle was offended by Dina and talked to Jacqueline about it. Jacqueline hates being in the middle. Danielle loves drama and was going to break up with Steve at her birthday dinner at the table. Then, Danielle interrupted Jacqueline’s and Theresa’s play date to vent about Steve. I think Danielle is trying to be the star but Caroline and the others just do not really want her around.

I have to say I really like the Little Couple show on TLC. I really love Jen, she is so sweet.  I just think that even though she is 3′2, she is still a strong and brilliant person. I mean she takes her dwarfism and is really trying to show others that you can be successful. I thought Bill did a great job at getting her birthday gifts. I think moving can be a difficult situation for newlyweds, especially when it is cross country but Bill is being good about it. I thought that the car part was hard, I am 4′11 and need cushions but she needs like 8 or 9 and that cannot be fun to sit on. I really like this couple and I hope that Jen can get her wish and be a mom by either natural means or adoption.

Last night, I watched the season 5 premiere of Jon and Kate Plus 8.I have to say I felt bad for Jon more than I did for Kate. I mean Jon sad that he quit working two years ago to stay home with his kids and he felt bad because he was not working like he used to. He also just wants his normal life back. Kate said that the cameras and fame are not going to stop. Sadly, I think that if Jon wants to be off camera then his marriage to Kate will end because she loves the limelight. I really did not enjoy her bashing Jon for not helping with the party prep, I mean it is like he is only of use to her when he does her errands or chores. The coldness between the two was quite clear especially at the birthday party. I felt bad when Alexis was talking to Jon about the little boy she brought and then said that she wants her daddy to come home. Jon told her that some daddy’s don’t come home because they have to work. He gave her a big hug and a kiss and you can tell that he really does miss his kids.I think maybe he only lives there when Kate is away, but I am not sure. All in all, I thought that this episode showed how fame can screw up your lives, not multiples. I mean yes there is stress but most people would respect their husband’s wishes if he said I want the cameras off and my life back, but that is just me.

This week on the Real Housewives of NJ, we  saw Teresa take her daughter Gia to acting classes because she had an audition for a movie with the Rock. People Magazine reported that Teressa Giudice is currently 5 1/2 months pregnant so congrats to her and her family. Jacqueline struggled with keeping her seventeen year old daughter in line and she held a birthday party for her 6 year old son CJ. I really like Jacqueline, I felt so sorry for her when she talked about having four miscarriages in a row. I am glad that she has a baby due next month. Dina held her Ladybug Foundation event, Jacqueline did not like how bossy Dina was towards her. Dina knocked Danielle for not having bought a ticket for the event but Danielle went out to dinner with Steve that night so I am not sure why Dina is mad that someone she hates did not go to her benefit.Caroline’s son Christopher cracks me up, and Lauren I feel bad that everyone calls her a ditz. I hope she is successful at whatever career she chooses. I love this show; the ladies are fun to watch.

Last night, I a NJ housewife was treated to the train wreck that is called The Real Housewives of New Jersey! I absolutely love this show especially Caroline and Jacqueline. Caroline is the typical mama cub and she looks out for everyone. Her two sons- Albie and Chris are hilarious. Chris wants to open a car wash/ strip club because it is recession proof and his mom actually approves! Danielle, what can I say she is honest at least. She is 46 and is looking for a wealthy man to support her and her daughters. The whole phone sex- meeting Gucci model at a bar really creeped me out and I was glad that Jacqueline and Teresa followed her there to make sure that she was ok. Luckily, the guy never showed so she was ok. Teresa is hysterical she loves her daughter and her family; she spends money like water but hey like she says happy wife, happy life! I like Dina she seems like a take charge person that loves her family. I wonder why we only see a photo of her hubby and not the actual guy. I mean he was not even filmed at Albie’s party. Jacqueline is a sweetie pie and I love her. I really think she gets flack for being Danielle’s friend by Dina but you cannot all have the same friends just because you are family. I love this new series and I look forward to the next new episode!

This week on Table for 12, two new episodes aired. The first episode was about eldest twins Kevin and Kyle turning thirteen. Eric decided to give the boys gift cards and let them go to the mall by themselves and find something to buy. I really commend Eric his boys are great. I mean Kyle is very smart and really seems to care and bond with Rebecca who has cerebral palsy. Both boys are very respectful and you can tell they really love their parents. The second episode was about Eric working on the house. He has a honey do list from Betty and just goes around and fixes stuff. He also took some of the kids with him to Home Depot. I cannot believe that Eric did a lot of the work on the addition to their home. He is such a likeable guy. I thought both episodes were very good.

Last night was the season finale of the Amazing Race. I have to say that the finale did not live up to my expectations. I thought that the tasks would be much harder than the ones that were chosen this season. The first task involved dragging a pig and preparing it to roast at a luau. The next task was to find surf boards that pertained to tasks that had been accomplished on this season of the Amazing Race. Margie and Luke got there first but in the end Luke could not get the last two correct and this cost them the win. In the end, siblings Tammy and Victor who are Harvard educated lawyers won the Amazing Race and got the one million dollar prize. I actually like this team; I was rooting for them along the way.

Today, Kate Gosselin was on television was on tv and was talking about the rumors that Jon has been seeing a woman behind her back. I think that Jon should be on tv facing down these rumors not Kate. I mean he released a statement but Kate is not the one who was caught doing these things and should not have to be on tv defending him. I actually feel bad for Kate. I know she can come across as controlling and mean spirited towards Jon but no wife should have to see infidelity rumors plastered all voer the media. I saw how it has effected John Edwards’ wife Elizabeth and I can say that Kate deserves better treatment.

This week on 18 Kids and Counting the new episode focused on newly married Joshua and his wife Anna. They went to the beach in South Carolina and stayed in a four bedroom home there for their honeymoon. I have to say the modest bathing suit looks so uncomfortable and looks like it would be hot to wear at the beach. I mean she is married and a nice one piece bathing suit covers everything up but she can wear whatever she wants. Josh and Anna went para sailing which looked liked fun. They also went out to a fancy dinner which was foreign to them since they rarely go to nice restaurants. They also were going to sleep near the sharks in the aquarium but they left after a half hour. When they got back to Arkansas, Anna wanted to cook dinner for the entire Duggar clan.Some of the older Duggar girls went with her to Aldi’s and helped her cook the meal. We also got to see Josh at the car lot; he needs to be more convincing when he sells cars. He did not sound very knowledgable. I think the episode wasgood. I really like Anna and I think she will be a great mom.

Originally, I was not going to comment on this whole Jon Gosselin scandal, but today when I was at the grocery store the story was on the cover of a few magazines so I thought that I would add my two cents. Now, as we all saw from the season finale Jon was not too thrilled about how fame has impacted his personal life.Now if you remember the movie Ed, the same thing happened to him where in fame became too much for him and his family so he decided to stop having his life filmed for reality tv. I personally think that Jon is using the cameras now to end his stint on reality tv. He has been in some hot water in the media before for going out without Kate and this latest scandal only comes a few months after that. I honestly think that Jons not a cheater I just think he wants his old life back.
