TV Round-Up: 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Reunion Catfight (Photos)




Part one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion special aired last night, and the producers probably should have changed the name to the far more accurate We Hate Teresa Giudice Show.

All of the ladies were there for the fun except Jacqueline, who sat out the reunion because of a nasty fight that happened with (you guessed it) Teresa the night before. Jacqueline's absence was a sign of things to come because every single housewife had some sort of Teresa-related grievance to air. The gals attacked Teresa's finances, her husband's legal troubles, the infamous RHONJ christening episode, her Fabulicious! cookbook, and pretty much anything else they could think of.

There was so dthering about whether she's contemporary enough, but it's probably just a fake-out to help create dramatic tension for the two hour (oh god, it's going to take them two hours to pick 16 people?!) judges' deliberation episode coming this Wednesday.

If Melanie Amaro's quiet class and on-pitch singing aren't your cup of tea, then you probably loved InTENsity, the group of 10 solo artists who were cobbled together by the judges into some kind of nightmare Mickey Mouse Club. InTENsity performed a strange mash-up of "That's Not My Name" by The Ting Tings and "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oats for Paula and Pharrell that caused Pharrell to say, "
