"Whoa, of course last week I was away when Teresa and Melissa finally had it out at the summer solstice party! Big thanks to Anna for filling in for me--and apologies that it was during one of the most drama filled nights in Jersey Housewife land to date. I&amp;#x27;m going to say it . . . Teresa has zero ground to stand on against Melissa and her brother Joe. She&amp;#x27;s causing chaos to what--deflect from the own drama in her life? I&amp;#x27;m not declaring myself Team Teresa or Team Melissa--yet--but Teresa&amp;#x27;s craziness is becoming harder and harder to justify. I just don&amp;#x27;t understand why Teresa just hates Melissa so much. I miss the ditzy Teresa days--the girl that flipped tables, talked about &amp;quot;bubies&amp;quot; and loved to make Danielle Staub squirm. In fact, I much preferred the feuding with Danielle because it was so exaggerated, almost like we were watching a cartoon. This stuff with Teresa and Melissa and Joe is just icky. And it just keeps getting worse. With that said, here&amp;#x27;s what I just didn&amp;#x27;t understand, the WTF moments if you will, during tonight&amp;#x27;s episode! 1. When Did Caroline Join Team Melissa? Look, I get that Caroline&amp;#x27;s mad that Teresa insulted her children in her cookbook. I get that Caroline sees through Teresa&amp;#x27;s BS. But to ditch Teresa for Melissa is just mean--especially for righteous Caroline! She&amp;#x27;s not even trying to be in the middle or make peace or have a relationship with both. She&amp;#x27;s hitting Teresa right in her Achilles heel and hurling insults into the wound. &amp;quot;[Melissa&amp;#x27;s] a better, younger version of you.&amp;quot; That &amp;quot;oh no she didn&amp;#x27;t&amp;quot; quote came straight from Caroline&amp;#x27;s mouth--during a &amp;quot;confessional&amp;quot; but you know that Teresa flipped over her TV when she heard it! 2.Why Does Joe Giudice Talk So Much Smack? Seriously, calling Melissa a &amp;quot;horsie face&amp;quot; AND a &amp;quot;tramp&amp;quot; (don&amp;#x27;t even get me started), Joe Gorga a &amp;quot;little b****&amp;quot; who should be called &amp;quot;Josephine&amp;quot; and Kathy a &amp;quot;frog&amp;quot; is despicable. But calling my Rosie a &amp;quot;little butcher boy&amp;quot; is fighting words--from me! I think it makes Teresa uncomfortable when he does it--but she doesn&amp;#x27;t stop him! 3. Why Does Jacqueline Shrivel Up Around Teresa? Okay, so Teresa doesn&amp;#x27;t want Jacqueline to be friends with Melissa. That is clear. I knew that Caroline and Dina were on the outs--but it came out tonight that Jacqueline is on the outs with her too!?! When did I miss that memo? So just to recap what that means. Teresa is feuding with her sister-in-law Melissa. Therefore, it&amp;#x27;s not cool in Teresa&amp;#x27;s book that Jacqueline is friends with Melissa. Jacqueline is also feuding with her sister-in-law Dina. Yet, Teresa and Dina are still besties. Teresa cannot comprehend why this may seem a wee bit hypocritical to Jacqueline. Jacqueline is mad--but lets Teresa have the last word. I want to spend five minutes in both their brains to figure out what is going on up there! 4. Why Isn&amp;#x27;t Rosie a Regular Cast Member? Anna begged the question last week and now I&amp;#x27;m just flat out begging! Andy Cohen, are you reading this? We are begging for more Rosie! Any woman that belly flops on national TV deserves to be in the opening credits! 5. Why Can&amp;#x27;t Teresa Just Let This Stuff with Joe and Melissa Go? So. when Teresa and her brother finally sit down to talk at Rich and Kathy&amp;#x27;s pool party, I was so dizzy afterwards that I felt like I had just gotten off the Teacups in Disney World. Basically, Teresa is mad that Joe confides in his WIFE and pretty much admitted that she believes their relationship fell apart when Joe married Melissa. Joe wants a relationship but just wants Teresa to admit that she&amp;#x27;s, gasp, been wrong. If she can do that, he can then move on. This rational request is too much for Teresa to comprehend and declares Joe &amp;quot;the meanest brother ever!&amp;quot; Everyone wonders if they should go to therapy (sibling counseling? is that a thing?) but old-school Italians don&amp;#x27;t believe in therapy. Instead, Teresa does what a real Italian would do (I&amp;#x27;m just guessing here since therapy is out of the question) and storms out. Okay, so not to end going all philosophical on you, but I recently read this quote from Deepak Chopra that kinda changed my life. I really think Teresa would benefit from it too if by some chance she reads this. It goes, &amp;quot;Holding onto resentment is like holding your breath--you suffocate.&amp;quot; Powerful, right? Teresa resents Melissa for taking Joe&amp;#x27;s attention away from her. It&amp;#x27;s as simple a that. And I have to say, everyone else is willing to start anew--including Melissa! Uh, while Teresa was complaining to her brother that she has no one on her side and Melissa is terrible--Melissa was taking care of Teresa&amp;#x27;s kids by the pool without anyone asking her to! Melissa may as well be in the Avengers because she has some superhero-sized strength and patience when it comes to Teresa! What do you guys think--are you Team Melissa or Team Teresa? Why do YOU think Teresa is holding on to so much resentment?
