I know I'm in the majority when I say that Danielle is one of the scariest people of any of the Real Housewives casts. I mostly think her insane perspective on reality is pretty hilarious, but all too often her antics actually get to the point of getting me kind of angry/frustrated.
I think this is because I have known people in my own life to blantantly lie about things that are obviously untrue and to manipulate friends into liking her while she uses them and then discards them when she is done with them by becoming "the victim". She also has a really high opinion of herself and just sat there the whole episode, which i'm sure she thinks makes her "the better person" but in fact really creeped me out.
My favorite NJ housewife is by far Caroline Manzo. One she realized what "garbage" Danielle was she made a point of not interacting with her instead of picking fights. When she did confront her in the last episode, she had a very eloquent speech prepared, and she had some great comebacks for Danielle. Unfortunately, you can never really accomplish anything with Danielle because she just starts to fake cry and then get up and leave the room because "she doesn't deserve to be attacked".
I've liked Caroline ever since she used the term "thick as thieves" to describe her bond to her family, but in the last two episodes she has become my role model (in the world of RH casts anyways).
Of course, the highlight of the episode was Teresa freaking out and pushing down Andy (the host) and getting in Danielle's face. The most hilarious part was Danielle chanting "Amazing Things and New Beginnings" repeatedly. It's her new addition to chanting "Love & Light". Who comes up with this stuff?? It's always the instigators that pretend like they're all about peace and harmony.
The highlight for me was Caroline telling off Danielle for crashing the charity event at her "family's place of business" the Brownstone, and telling her that she thinks her children have no light in their eyes (I wouldn't use that wording but its very true-they did not get a childhood and often have to give their mother advice on how to behave). She is great at telling people what no one else will say to her face, and also staying calm so that Danielle can't claim she is being "attacked". I look forward to next week when Caroline points out that Danielle has put out threats on all of them, and none of them have ever truly threatened her.
On another note, if you watch the show you know that Albie Manzo got kicked out of law school for bad grades. Mike & I (ok mainly me) were hoping that he would show up at UR Law to start his 1L year over. After Mike's first day of classes he tried to convince me for a good 5 minutes that Albie was at school today, and I kind of started to believe him and got excited about my plan to become friends with him so we can find out all of the show's dirt. He was making it up though :( so sad. Even UR doesn't want lil Albie. At least he can be a police officer...
This post really had no point. More pointless banter next week after Part II airs! Hooray!
