Jessica

The women were definitely so stereotypical North Jersey. Which is funny because I swear I never knew anyone like that, and most of my friends were from affluent Italian families! I actually went to a wedding at the Brownstone though, so that was funny. I remember not liking the food so much. I'm probably going to continue to watch just to see what other places I recognize, but yeah, the women were totally gaudy and pretentious. I agree about Jacklyn being nice though. But she's from Vegas so that's probably why!

I'm going to try watching the new episode tonight. I'm not feeling Kelly Rowland as host either. I didn't even know who she was until I googled her. But yeah, the first episode was really blah to me.

Beautiful!!! I swear Jean-Marcus, I'm totally going to get married again just so you can be my photographer!

I never like Kristin either... They really just should have killed the show.

I second the Duffy's Love Shack bar suggestion. Awesome place. Good music, good drinks, fun crowd. Iggie's on Bolongo Bay is also pretty awesome. They have karaoke nights and Caribbean nights which are lots of fun.

That SUCKS!!! I'm sorry. I think our home owners insurance only covers our tv if it's stolen or damaged in a natural diaster... I guess you have to look into it. I hope it is!

Definitely! Brian wants to adopt one of these. I do too, but I don't know if we can anytime soon. It really bugs me that people treat animals as dispensable objects to be used for their own entertainment purposes. Ugh, I swear, humanity really disappoints me sometimes.

Congrats on making progress! (Where have you been by the way?!) I'm more of a small and dainty ring girl myself, but if the clarity of the 2.5 stone is decent, I say go for the bigger rock girl! You deserve it.

Everyone looks fantastic! What fun.

Happy wedding day Jacqueline! I know you're going to be a gorgeous bride. Can't wait to see all the pictures.

Anyone watch Bravo's Project Runway replacement? I don't know if I was really into it. But it was the only first episode and I figure it'll tide me over until PR starts up on Lifetime.

Very cool! I love the bottle. I don't wear perfume much, but I always like to buy scents that come in interesting looking bottles so I'll definitely keep an eye out for it.

I dont' care one way or another for Ethan. Erin/Silver is ok & Dixon is a bit strange to me. Mr. Matthews is def a scumbag!!! So mad at him right now! I do like Adrianna & Navid...with or without the baby! Navid has to be the sweetest guy ever!! I agree with every single things you said. I feel the exact same way.

It does seem funny that they picked NJ... considering all the jokes about NJ! Aww, yes, I know Morris County! I dated a guy in high school who lived in Chatham and all his friends were from his town and the surrounding area. I just set my DVR to record it. It starts next week after the NY show reunion (11pm). And yeah, the whole cleaning aspect is the one thing that sort of makes me feel grateful I don't have one of those Moorestown Mansions. Especially since I'm a neat freak and my husband is a slob. I'd go crazy. My whole day would be devoted to cleaning.

Audrina used to be my favorite, but she's completely dropped down on my list since the Brody hook-up thing. I mean I agree that B gf should be more pissed at Brody than Audrina, but still, single or not, going after a guy who is taken is just wrong in my opinion. I mean she flipped out that one time when Justin "kissed" (i forgot exactly what happened) that chick in the bar, so why would she want to make another girl feel that same way?! I guess she's off The Hills now as well. I heard she's getting her own show...

I guess next week's episode is a glimpse into the spin off series they are doing about Lily.

It's in North Jersey. Bergen County and the one family they are featuring (2 sisters and a SIL I think) totally fit the whole mafioso stereotype. It's great. I drive past those huge ass Moorestown mansions too and every time I do I think "What the hell am I doing wrong?!"

You know, I always have my doubts about free photography, but you definitely lucked out! They turned out really well. I LOVE the tie idea. Very cool.

I think one of them is in Franklin Lakes... Not sure where the others are. I used to live in Essex County and had some friends in that area so I hung out there a lot. I'm interested to see if I see any places I know... kinda like watching for places I've been to on The Sopranos!

On another note... the OC one- I just read that the one "golddigger" with the older guy who was sick- can't remember her name... he died. So sad. BUT the scandalous part is that she is now dating the ex boyfriend of jo from the first season- Slade. I read about Gretchen dating Slade too. Interesting. I believe she was friends with Slade and Jo. There is an episode about Gretchen being in Jo's music video or something. Quote: Originally Posted by Michelle613 Simon and Alex freak me out!

Maybe you'll run into Simon and Alex one of these days!

Did they already show the first episode?! I had no idea. I must have missed it. DARN IT! I'll have to download it or look for a repeat.

I like Kate too... but I probably because her perfectionist, anal, controlling, scheduled and structured ways remind me of me! I was reading a rag in the line at the market the other day and I agree with previous remarks about the big deal being because he wasn't wearing his ring (who cares, Brian forgets to wear his 50% of the time), called some other chick "babe" and was drunk. Other than that I think it's mostly the whole "OH MY GOD YOU CAN'T HANG OUT WITH PEOPLE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX WHEN YOU'RE MARRIED BECAUSE THAT EQUALS CHEATING" bullcrap.

Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed Jill and Bethany seem to get into a pretty bad fight. Hopefuly the previews are manipulating it to make it seem much worse than it is.

I hate bashing other girls on the way they look, but I agree, I find Alex highly unattractive. To the point where I don't even like to look at her when she's on the screen. Simon... I find it hard to imagine he's straight. I don't doubt he is (well, I sorta do!), but I think I would sooner die than be with a guy who's more of a girl than I am. He irks me. Their kids are cute (looks wise), but are totally the kind of unruly kids I hate being around in public. They are the type of kids I looked at when I was pregnant and thought "Oh crap, why they hell did I want a kid?!"

Oh GAWD. I just read that Heidi is trying to get a deal to pose for Playboy. Blech.
