I ...I am one the fans started watching since day 1. I tuned in because I heard Karen Gravano was going be on the show. I have had a fascination with the Mafia, I read everything I could find on John Gotti, Sammy "the bull" Gravano and others, so I checked it out, 5 years later addicted to the show. The show has had it's up and downs, like when Karen, Ramona and Carla did not come back. I stayed loyal and knew Jen Graziano was going to make it right and she did!<br /><br />I want to congratulate Renee for going through all her struggles she went through it with a camera pointing at her the whole time. Renee received alot of hate, but I felt the opposite, who has not made a mistakes in their life and it is always a struggle. Renee may have fell a few times, but she got right back up and kept fighting to evolve into the mother and woman she is today. Bravo Renee!<br /><br />I Started out a Drita fan and realized she is full of shit and a fake, plus an ass kisser. When she made up with Ramona, Drita was so happy, smiling ear to ear, like she won the lottery, so fake. I don't need to type all of Drita's in-digressions, but there were many. This episode was a perfect example with the whole he said, she said about who said the men spoke, at the end of day. It ended up with Drita trying to attack Karen. This is the third time Drita has gone after Karen. I can go on about the Lee aspect of it, personally I am getting sick of it.<br /><br />I don't have much to say about Brit, I think she is Drita's victim and very immature.<br /><br />Marisa earned my respect by going to straight to Drita if she heard something she did not like. Unlike Drita she did not talk about breaking anybody's jaw she went straight to the source, way more than I can say for Drita. I hate to say it, but Brit got what she deserved Brit was out of control and Marisa put her in her place. Plus Marisa had no intention of fighting with Brit again.<br /><br />Loved Carla's personality this season, maybe because she was not under Drita's thumb any more.<br /><br />Ramona Rizzo was Karen's greatest alli, plus she had away with her words, that always put Drita in her place.<br /><br />There is no lying about Karen, she put her cards on the table. Honest to a fault. Drita could never compete with Karen on an intellectual level, that is why she can't hold a conversation with Karen, because Drita is no match for Karen. Karen will always call Drita out on her bullshit and that is the last thing Drita wants.<br /><br />And what can I say about Ang that everybody else has already said. Ang was so full of life and always brought fun to the show and Mob wives would not of been Mob Wives with out her. Ang will live on forever through MobWives.<br /><br />Chiara is very good at what she does and she does not write something until she knows it is true, that is called integrity. Chiara has been my friend and gave me advice--MobWives 101, always protecting me by given me her advice not start a bees nest with certain things that were better left unsaid. I have really trusted her over the years and she has never steered me wrong.<br /><br />We still have the reunion, so it is not quite over yet and hopefully there is a great spinoff and Chiara won't have to put her laptop away.

Do their personalities translate to film? Also a lot of them may not have any interest of being part of the show. Though I got a multiple emails from ladies connected to the life wanting to be on the show. I would just forward them to Jennifer, LOL.<br /><br />I’m in the middle of a big transition in my life. And Chiara has something big going on in her life. So we hope to be around. Yet life might swallow up our time and interests.<br /><br />I am thinking a few shows may be interesting to watch and recap.

Production rents the space. Production does not want the liability of doing such a thing. What Drita can do if she’s 100% about it is call Karen up and ask her to meet without the cameras rolling.<br /><br />I’ve been privy to some texts, LMAO. All I can say is I’ve seen the bark shut down. Again everyone is entitled to believe whatever they choose.<br /><br />But somethings are just not logical or true.

First and foremost - horrible e...... cont'd...<br /><br />First and foremost - horrible editing. Second - this is the first season I've ever seen any castmember directly address producers in a scene. At the end of the day - Marissa never mentioned Karen's name when she approached Drita about their men exchanging words - that is an assumption Drita made and refused to own up to. What I think is noteworthy to mention - is that Staten Island is an interesting place. I do believe that many of these women are connected to eachother deeper than we imagined off camera - and something tells me that one off comments or other chit chat could have been happening in a variety of bouroughs off screen that further perpetuated drama on screen. Am I crazy I thinking that? I think everyone who is "connected" in that area - knows everyone's business and they all talk. Anyone off the show could have made the statements Karen was accused of spreading. The addition of Marissa and Brittany left me feeling the same as the additions of the two Natalie's of the prior season : unnecessary buffers or fillers for air time. The one thing I started to dislike over the years with this show is the slow decline of inclusion of actual mob wives, or women who are in some way directly connected to The Life. It seemed as though season after season - a random would come around with very vague details surrounding their connections - I felt at times it took way from the authenticity of the entire concept of the show. I think of so many other women I would have rather seen fill the spaces of Natalie squared, or Marissa and Brittany: Toni Marie Ricci, Linda Scarpa, Dionne etc. (any woman off an episode of I Married A Mobster). Seeing any of these women who already have some sort of an actual history with the original cast members could have taken the show to new heights - or could have allowed for further confirmation on some of the burning questions we've had about Drita/Karen and their fall from a friendship. It makes me think about what the show could have been. With the show over - there is plenty of opportunities for these two women to hash it out once and for all in the streets if needed. With no cameras or security around - this might be the only chance they have to address things and move on. Quite personally I think the whole thing is past discussing. Each woman will always have some inkling about the other when ish hits the fan - and thats because deep down they both know they aren't friends and never will be. I have to say - I was left wanting more in how they chose to end this show. The blurbs on where the women feel thankful for where they are and where their children are - was quite rushed. I'm curious about what life after Mob Wives for these women actually entails. I really love this show. I remember when press releases went out in the media about its creation - thinking "Wow. This is different. I'm excited to see this from a woman's perspective." I do believe the show broke barriers. And for that reason alone - all of the women should be proud. Thanks again ladies for always providing an entertaining read - and for allowing me to see all angles of a situation - even if I was rooting for one team as opposed to another. What a great run! I'm excited to see where you take your blog next.<br /><br />memoirsofanesha.comMemoirs of Aneshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274975861528781876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-7206799760075263832016-03-11T10:14:06.769-08:002016-03-11T10:14:06.769-08:00Oh man.

I have watched this show religiously from start to end and have regularly read this blog's updates and recaps/two cents over the years. The two often go hand in hand. Hard to imagine that won't be the norm for me anymore. As a blogger myself, I know how much work goes into preparing and executing a post. I tip my hat to you ladies in keeping the momentum going right to the end! All in all - I think that production found the formula that worked best for ratings - from season 1 and onwards: the Drita vs Karen dynamic. I'm convinced about this because this is the one central storyline that has continued to be climatic over the years - with the exception of Karen being off the show for a season (or two? I don't remember). Sure - every season they'd add in a couple of randoms here and there but the beef between these two always still remained even after the smoke had cleared. I think that looking back over the years - there are valid points from both angles in the situation that I agree with. In a nutshell - yes, Drita should have let Karen know that she was dating Lee. Nowadays that could have been something easily done via text message. Regarding Karen, given that she felt so strongly about the way Drita handled the situation back then - should have been enough for her to know Drita couldn't have been trusted. I'm not sure if it was because of the show getting into gear - but I felt that Karen shouldn't have bothered trying to salvage a friendship. She should have followed her gut - and accepted the obvious conclusion - which is that Drita isn't her real friend. I think pushing for some sort of friendly interaction made things worse - as its clear Drita never thought she and Karen were that good of friends and used that as a reason as to why she didn't have to fill her in on anything about Lee. Regarding this particular season - I scratch my head about a few things.Memoirs of Aneshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274975861528781876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-80969812964611008272016-03-11T06:40:57.800-08:002016-03-11T06:40:57.800-08:00So sad about Ang and this show ending.

I caught on a bit too late. <br /><br />If it wasn't for Drita this season the only thing we'd be watching is Renee dancing, and her lackluster son. Carla's beautiful, but???? Karen would have had nothing to add to the show. I just can't watch mom teaching her kid to drive for an entire season. I also can't really get excited about her dad's paintings. I would actually have appreciated an hour long segment of unedited footage to show us what Ang went through. I found those visits to the doctor and her feelings about cancer to be so revealing. I learned so much. <br /><br />You need the ying to get the yang...or meatballs to the get the gravy just right.

Carla blocked us on and off for the same reason. It's inevitable for most blogs to have favorites and "choose" sides based on what we watch just like other fans. A blog is just opinions on the show and cast. Any blog that tries to be neutral and impartial is going to be boring.
