We told you about it here; the show is set to premiere on May 12. People has the story on the gals. Expect to see Paterson get its closeup as two of the women are connected by a family catering business, The Brownstone.
So…will you watch, if only to see the Jersey tomato get its closeup?




Good lord.
The Real Housewives of Orange County are hotter, in my opinion.
There are only five real housewives in New Jersey? What? What? Am I missing something, here?
– Perplexed in Paterson
Will I watch? Probably not. At least that is what first went through my mind when I read this story on the People website ten days ago. But I guess a lot can happen between now and when the show finally hits air–which is not for another seven long weeks. Actually, TV-wise all I can think about is the next four days of basketball. Thanks to mostly dumb luck, I’m in second place in the office pool–only one point off the lead.
Yes, Conan, and they all do housework dressed just like that!
I do mine in the buff.
First article posted in weeks that is newsworthy….this is going to be must see TV. However, these five bimbos are only going to confirm people’s negative perception of NJ.
“Yes, Conan, and they all do housework dressed just like that! ” — Mrs. Martta
“I do mine in the buff.” — jerseygurl
I am not sure which of those statements scares me more.
Interesting two of the women are named Manzo. When I was a newspaper reporter back in the 80s, I covered a story about a guy named “Tiny” Manzo who was found dead in the trunk of a car. It had something to do with a proposed townhouse development in Wayne and someone’s campaign contributions.
I do mine in the buff.
Oxygen!
Waste of time.
Hold me closer, Tiny Manzo….
Those 5 posing above are NOT from Montclair. More like North Caldwell or Livingston.
“I do mine in the buff.”

i’d have guessed an escort service in atlantic city.
sweet jesus those are some homely hags.
TV executives need to learn the word “NO”.
Did you really mean that you “do” your housework in the sense of “opera buffa,” jerseygurl? Or simply sans faded floral print housedress?
I hope the “pay back” is worth it for these women, because they are sure leaving themselves wide open for the criticism that is sure to follow.
don’t overthink it cathar.
I think cathar is panting.
Poor choice of phrasing, s2007.
“Jacqueline Laurita: former cosmetologist.. loves to pamper herself…teenage daughter from her previous marriage … 6-year-old son with her husband”
I didn’t think that they could find the perfectly prototypical jersey girl. I was wrong. Bravo to Bravo! Does her hubby drive an IROC? Just wonderin.
Maybe it’s me, but it looks as though they should be on “What Not to Wear” instead.
Woof.
I’m disappointed to learn that Caroline is married, as I’ve been in the market for a “feisty spitfire” for some time now.
All I ever seem to meet are sopwith camels.
This quintet looks, I’n sorry to say, like a divorce attorney’s wet dream.
“I do mine in the buff.”
I’m sure you’re already aware that in certain parts of Jersey, there’s a big demand for that sort of thing.
Cathar’s typing with one hand again.
C’mon! Let’s not judge these women by their physical appearance.
Let’s instead judge them by their apparently bottomless self-absorption.
Real Housewives NJ is currently being filmed in Franklin Lakes.
Haha!
Cro: Sopwith Camel….great band!
That’s a whole lotta “Jersey” going on in that pic and not in a good way. I guess Bebe had a sale on peep toe pumps.
Ok, place your bets, which one’s husbands drive Hummers and which ones rock the EXcladades and the penultimate epitome of Jersey trash auto, the Lexus.
Are they posing them on a boardwalk “down” the Jersey shore? TRASHTASTIC!
Skank-a-licious!
Wow, who can we thank for the stellar Photoshop job?
I’ll probably tune in for episode one out of sheer curiousity. I watch the OC and NYC “Housewives” on occasion. Atlanta could never really hold my attention.
OC is the greatest. I like to watch it in the dead of winter…makes me feel 10 degrees warmer.
ackme, don’t you mean a whole lot of “joisy?”
I think it’s time for this show to follow some interesting women.
I mean, expensive cars, houses, spa treatments, luxury dining…it’s getting old.
Let’s get to know some farm wives or something–there’s drama everywhere.

They look like Hannity’s 5 mistresses.
I’ll watch it a few times…not that i’ll have much choice. Will also reserve my comments (positive or negative) till after i see an actual show. I like to know what I’m talking about before I talk about it (or something like that…lol)
Just realized I still own a General Electric 401K. Though it is now worth half of what it once was when I was working there during their heyday, I guess if this show becomes the next Project Runway, my retirement account might go up a couple of cents, if I’m lucky. So for now I’ll shut up. Every penny counts.
How much for the broad in the middle?
“How much for the broad in the middle?”
If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it. Oh, wait a minute: this is New Jersey! $99.99 plus shipping and handling. Or is that $99.99 for shipping and handling? Or better yet, just send your Lexus up to Franklin Lakes and see who gets in…
I smell a heavy “Sopranos” type leaning here… I mean there are people in NJ who are not Italian, do not marry one another’s siblings, nor work in “family” businesses. There are even some NJ “housewives” that have very successful careers but you’d never know from this sampling.
fussyhostess, I think you’re absolutely right.
There are also plenty of successfull black women living in Atlanta who are not married to the NBA, NFL or the rap industry.
But, hey, where’s the good tv there? This is Bravo afterall..
Good point Banana Split. However, all the other Housewife shows feature the supposed “creme de la creme” of that location’s ‘social set.’ So why is NJ represented by what appears to be a blue collar brigade? I don’t mean to cast any class aspersions but l can’t help wonder what the education level of this group is and what makes them representative of NJ’s social and cultural world? How about tossing in a Princeton professor or a high powered pharmaceutical exec?
Well, I’m looking forward to it…At least lets wait and see how it goes. I laugh out loud at The Housewives of N.Y. Have to say so much of it reminds me of the way I used to be….
And by the way, I’m proud of you ladies with the Website! Did not know about you till this AM on CBS. If I were younger would love to do the same.
I watched a minute long preview of this show and find it absolutely hysterical that the one who brags about being an active member of her parish was going on and on about the phone sex she had with an anonymous guy she “met” in the internet.
