Google Brooks and you'll see what an opportunist gold digger of the male variety he is. Brianna is spot on. He's Slimey only older, and a dead beat dad. Ironic how Vicky couldn't keep her mouth shut when Slade was the same, but Brooks is perfect.

When your friends and family hate your beau, when he hasn't got a job or any money, the old Vicky would have had warning bells clanging, but this is Vicky Mark 2, who needs to show that she's desirable even in middle age. To put this cretin over your family is repulsive. But, as I keep saying, Karma's a bitch.

It couldn't happen to a better qualified smug cow.
Onto this weeks NY and NJ. I'll start with NY as it's the one I've just watched.
Aviva is certifiably crazy, which makes a change from Ramona who seems moderately sane this episode. It annoyed me how fake and staged their brunch was. If they were going at it hammer and tongue as shown, in a real restaurant, all the diners would be open mouthed listening to it all. Instead they all looked like paid extras moving their lips in fake conversation and ignoring Aviva and Ramona. I hate when Bravo do that, I know a lot of it is scripted, but dont make it so obvious.
The way they argue cracks me up. Ramona never shuts up so how she can hear the insults that Aviva is throwing at her is a mystery to me.

I think Aviva plays on her prosthetic. Heck woman, watch the Paralympics, see what can be achieved by people much more disabled and shut the hell up.
A lot of us have suffered panic attacks at some time in our lives, but guess what? it's treatable. Get some Cognitive Behavioural therapy! I think it's her crutch- no pun intended. She has to be supported 24/7. Ugh, I've gone off her big time.
And to send her lecherous, repulsive father to Ramona's fund raiser to give money and get an apology from her was just so OTT and wrong. (The bit with him in the herbalists was just yuk.

)
I never thought I'd ever stick up for Ramona, but this week I was totally with her.
I also felt really sorry for Sonja. Wealth and being a socialite cant exclude genuine emotion. I think Sonja's still very much in love with her ex, and was so hurt after the solicitors meeting. Why isn't he paying child support. After all he's got squillions, and isn't he really old, like in his late 70's or something, Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Lu was just in a supporting role this week, as was Heather and Carole, so not much to go on there. I do think Carole is a fence sitter though- something you could never accuse Ramona of being.

I cant believe it's the finale next week and in true HoWives style, it looks to be a belter. Cant wait.
And so to the end (bar the not-to-be-missed Reunion shows) of NJ. Hopefully we're seeing the last of Caroline and Jaq and they wont be back. Jaq annoys the hell out of me with her passive aggressive thing, while Caroline is just a total bitch.
I loved TWOP's summary "This season on Masterpiece Classics presents The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Everyone hated Teresa for TWENTY EPISODES. The end" Sort of sums it up really.
But it all goes horribly wrong for Tre when, after she and Melissa, still saying she doesn't know baldy guy, says she worked in a bikini bar or something and guys paid $100 bills when she served them. Hmmm, why do I think a strip joint by any other name? Not that I would think anyone would give a toss if she had been a stripper (except the little runt who thinks he owns her and she's there to have sex with him whenever he feels like it....EWWWWK!)
Unfortunately Baldy guy doesn't realise he's miked and can be heard saying Tre and Kim D knew Melissa was a stripper and this was a set up. Meanwhile Jaq keeps getting texts rom someone and shares them with the evil coven of Caroline and Lauren. Later on she confronts Teresa and that's the end of that friendship. I'm still reeling that Jaq decided to do something on her own and not let Caroline or anyone else tell her what to say, do or think.
Melissa decides that she neds to call little Joey

Way to start a fight girl. By the end of the evening, with the unexplained arrival of Juicy's brother-in-law . Verbal though not physical threats are screeched back and forth, the word "scum" is used a lot and everyone except Tre leaves the fashion show swearing they are done with her and cutting her out of their lives.
Cut to the Reunion where noone has talked to Tre for a year. Tre is in full on defensive mode-she really is getting flack from this lot- I wonder if anything gets thrown this Reunion?

There are tables and chairs capable of being used to vent Tre's wrath! We shall see.
