I really enjoyed Season 8 as well.I’m been watching rewatching NJ from the start lately and now onto season 9. Wow, what a moment.
I really enjoyed Season 8 as well.
Soggy was a great deluded villain.
I'm...sad about how absolute shite season 10 was.
Well, season 6 is one of the worst ever Housewives seasons (the Marcheses were demonic) so I wouldn't want to have to compare anything to that.Eh, it really wasn’t that bad. If you compare it to season 6 with Amber/the twins or the never ending Teresa vs. everyone saga in seasons 4 and 5, it actually wasn’t that horrible.
To me, Jersey really is an outlier in the franchise. Season one obviously had The Table Flip, and pretty much put Housewives as a reality goldmine franchise on the map. There hadn't been a moment like that before on OC, NY or Atlanta which all came before it. My hot takes on Jersey:
- The 'family' element sets it apart from all the other cities. Sisters Dina and Caroline being married to two brothers, and then the sister-in-law and first cousin of Teresa joining later on is incredible casting I think.
- Danielle is unquestionably the most unhinged, evil Housewife the franchise has ever seen, which made for iconic TV seasons one + two (Country Club episodes are fanfuckingtastic).
- After her departure and the addition of Melissa and Kathy season three, the show drastically changed course (not for better or worse, just different), and the show took on more of a TLC/Lifetime vibe because of the family drama.
- Say what you want about the Gorgas, but they brought it in season three. Watching the premiere and the out-the-gate shots that Joe and Melissa took at Tre and Joe Giudice were pretty wild. And then of course, The Christening. Reality TV gold, but watching it back it's actually pretty shocking given the amount of small children in the room. Poor little Gia sobbing as she tries to initially break up Joe Gorga and Teresa from arguing is heart-breaking. Joe breaking down to his father in the lobby of the venue after the melee is so raw.
- The wheels started to fall off at the end of season 4 for me, and I would put the blame of that on Bravo and production trying too hard to ride out the 'Teresa vs Everyone' storyline for too long, but the season 4 reunion is their best ever. By season 5 it got very stale - I think due to keeping the cast the same for 3 straight years (initially Jac and Kathy had been fired and 3 new wives were being brought on, including DJ Envy's wife Gia Casey.)
- Season 6 was hot garbage, but Teresa Goes to Jail was another shocking twist in the Jersey saga. I straight-up cried when she returned home from 'camp' and saw her dorters again.
- Season 8-10 have been a return to form but feel very different to the early seasons, so homogenised and like the other cities that it's like a different show. Not bad at all, just totally different.
- Teresa is the stupidest Housewife and one of the stupidest people I've ever watched on a show, ever.
- Jersey is undoubtedly the most 'ratchet' of the shows, having had a violent altercation in almost every season - and I love it.
