The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: Penny for Your Thoughts

The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Episode 16: "The Blonde Drops a Bombshell"


Oh Penny, where did you come from?  I'm sure the Housewives would disagree with me, but despite the fact that she seems to be a pretty unapologetic fame whore, I'm glad she's here.  Now, I can finally say, Penny keeps turning up like a bad penny!  Hooray for puns!  That being said, Penny, we have to to talk, girl to gay boy.  What the fuck is wrong with your hair and makeup?  Everytime we see you, you look like a possum caught in the headlights of a car while digging through someone's trash.  And that hair!  You own a salon.  So, theoretically, you have access to all these top notch hair products, so there is no reason why your hair should look like that.  That clip in ponytail you had on in this episode?  Oy vey.  Where did that come from?  A late night infomercial?  Seriously.  Penny, you are the Kim D of salon owners.  That is not a compliment.  So, what bombshell did this bottle blonde drop?  Hit the jump to find out.
Things are still bright and shiny in Jersey.  Teresa has a Skinny Italian show room for her new line of pasta and other food products.  The Giudices and Gorgas are having lunch with Teresa and Joe's parents, minus Papa Gorg who is still not feeling well.  Kathy is having good luck with her business, setting up an event at Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC.  Richie is being supportive.  Rosie and Juicy are bonding.  Melissa is meeting with Johnny Wright, Justin Timberlake's manager, about getting serious with her music.  Everything is so happy, it's like I'm in a Bizzaro Jersey and let me tell you, I'm not a fan.

Luckily, things start going the way we are used to around the middle of the episode.  Supportive Richie disappears and Douche-y Richie returns, the day of Kathy's event.  He leaves her one cardboard cutout laying on the rainy ground.  That's the Richie we all know and tolerate.  Once the event got started, none of the other women were there.  I was rubbing my hands together in anticipation.  Yes.  Don't show up.  I want Kathy to finally flip out on you bitches.  But then, the unthinkable happened.  One by one, each Housewife showed up.  They all came out to support Kathy, except Caroline, who had a migraine.  Who are you people?

After Melissa humiliated herself in her studio in front of a big time music manager and a song writer, she pretended to be actually entertaining the notion of going to Florida for music boot camp.  We know that won't happen, though.  When, Joey and Melissa went out to dinner, what should they spot at the bar, but Penny's badly put in, ratty, clip on ponytail.  They set up Penny pretty well here.  Asking her if she wanted to say anything else or tell them who put her up to it.  Penny rose to the occasion and told Joe and Melissa exactly what they wanted to hear.    Of course, Joe and Melissa buy it, because, deep down, they don't really want to be a family.  They just want to be the victims and if Teresa isn't fucking with them, they can't be victims anymore.  Oy.  Stop giving this fame whore (Penny) what she wants.

So, what did you guys think?  Could Penny be telling the truth?  Do you really think Melissa is serious about being a singer?  Why does Teresa keep throwing shade at Kathy?  Would you ask Teresa with help writing a speech?  I mean, do you remember the blog writing?  Enlighten me in the comments.
