It lacked substance. Lots of fillers with a faux storyline of the "poor innocent" housewife going go to jail. Although my AH-HA! moment was when she said she "committed the crime". Barely anyone believes her facade. No one cares about you constantly crying about your "poor me" life when you're driving in an Escalade and are decked out in LV.

Season 1 ...Could anyone explain Big Ang's life? Season 1 she was a bartender living in a crappy apartment. Suddenly, she is in a mansion. <br /><br />Now we hear she has a daughter. Can't wait to see her. Jenn must be doing a lot of work to get the daughter ready for the show - a strict diet, black wig, plastic surgery, low cut clothes and a husband.<br /><br />Why not have Alicia admit she was a mob wife and make her storyline interesting?<br /><br />Why does everyone love and fight over that fat husband of hers?<br /><br />I understand the gossip on Big Ang is that Middle Eastern men LOVE her...maybe that is what is paying for the mansion and her buying the Monkey bar? <br /><br />Where is Drita and con husband getting the money for such a lavish redo on the house? Does VH1 pay that well?<br /><br />Bring back Carla.Morris Parknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-81062180080511763402014-02-22T14:48:27.857-08:002014-02-22T14:48:27.857-08:00So, One of our Anonymous commenters mentioned an &...So, One of our Anonymous commenters mentioned an "L" tattoo Alicia has behind her ear and that maybe it was for the last name of her alleged boyfriend "LaScala." I found the picture of it, however I also learned that her mother's name is Loretta and she could just as easily say it stands for her name.

I see the vast majority hold the same opinion I do. I don't know how or why the ratings would be high enough for a 5th season esp when they are including these Philly girls yet again. It boggles the mind. You're right that all the lies and inconsistencies can be googled or found on Twitter. Liars can't keep their stories straight. I expected more than that. I expected "reality" but what we got was poorly scripted, uninteresting, storylines...some of which were created without any basis in fact, just for the show. I have been a fan and supporter from day one, but I am very disappointed.Chiara Sopranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356575615553274815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-53387344043896842142014-02-22T09:22:10.572-08:002014-02-22T09:22:10.572-08:00I'm disappointed that VH1 renewed this mess. I...I'm disappointed that VH1 renewed this mess. I'm also disappointed in Jennifer's trite reference to people frustrated by this season as "haters." You can be critical without being a hater. <br /><br />This season was lazy and uninspired. I also don't think that the producers of this show respect the intelligence of the audience. It doesn't take much to do a little googling to discover all of the inconsistencies between the "reality" on the show and what's actually going on with the women. It takes a special kind of hubris to put these contrived plots together for the show and expect fans to accept them without question. All reality shows have an element of scripted story arcs, but this show isn't even trying to create scripts that are believable. <br /><br />I hope Karen doesn't come back. I like her and I think she's too good for the show. I don't think the conflict with Alicia would be satisfying. Jennifer had no problem supporting a storyline in which her sister was antagonized and ultimately driven to the point of a relapse. Karen could return to a storyline designed to make Alicia look good - despite the fact we've all decided that we're not here for her sob stories and crocodile tears. <br /><br />I don't expect next season to be any better. What motivation do the producers have to improve when their mediocrity has been rewarded with renewals and new shows?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-13780787833902693402014-02-22T08:56:54.140-08:002014-02-22T08:56:54.140-08:00This whole season was a major disappointment.

Karen Gravano will like...Interesting blog posts. <br /><br />Karen Gravano will likely not be back. In one of the last episodes she was in she said she wanted to help her father with his legal case as he may have been in prison too long and not properly advised of the sentence he agreed to.<br /><br />That takes lawyers to argue and they have to be paid. Under the Son of Sam laws, crime perpetrators cannot benefit from publicity (books, movies, television) related to their crime. <br /><br />If I were a family member of one of the 19 people Mr. Gravano admits to murdering, then Karen's profits from her publicity (gained through her father's "notorious" crimes) should not go to help him in any way. That may be the real reason she is not going to return. She wants to help her father get out of jail and can't use money from the show (based in part on his murders) to help him do so as that benefits him. <br /><br /> Bring back Ramona!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-5941638674502022382014-02-21T17:22:34.807-08:002014-02-21T17:22:34.807-08:00It's hard to believe Natalie states Renee give...It's hard to believe Natalie states Renee gives married men.... disgusting, that has to be scripted because the more drama the better the ratings and its a win win win $$$$$ I also think they learned from Love, that violence isn't the answer but it's hard to believe they give Natalie a pass for being so nasty to Renee. I love Big Ang, now her life is show what a wonderful humble person she is who tells it like is it. Poor Neil her husband! She states he wants a fixer upper and then says what's he going to fix!!!

I adore Renee, Ang and Drita, but not impressed with the new. <br /><br />Renee and Jr storyline...enough already! There are not any awards for Reality for acting or dramatic appeal. Stop already Renee is better than this and has more going for her. Her life is better than exploiting that betrayal and still rehashing all the pain that period had caused. Just my thoughts.<br /><br />If Alicia really thought she may not be coming home you know darn well she would have had a detailed list and would show him everything and not just where her "life insurance" was ...like really who does that! She wouldn't just let her brother "wing it". She would have been crying or at least showing some emotions and making sure she was hugging and kissing those kids. Also, wouldn't you want to take your kids to school? I understand about trying to keep a brave face or things as normal as possible..but come on where was the reality to that plot? Hello!!! You may not come home right? I have four kids and darn well know it would not have been that smoothly if there was a possibility of not coming home and seeing those kids anymore. <br /><br />Thank you Chiara for another great blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-71220258859293614912014-02-21T14:33:59.387-08:002014-02-21T14:33:59.387-08:00The finale was horrible!!

If I had to guess, I'd say it's a tat for her bf using the initial of his last name. That's the only thing I can come up with. None of her kids names start with an L and her maiden name starts with a D. I'm thinking it's for him since he also got her that Cartier bracelet to wear over Eddie's tattoo and if that's true, I can totally see a guy like that convincing her to get a tat for him too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462257661555495097.post-18904111883131423882014-02-21T09:23:05.744-08:002014-02-21T09:23:05.744-08:00This used to be my favorite show.

Particularly, Alicia's storyline. She's been moaning and groaning about the same stuff ALL season. Last night, I feel like she kept repeating herself. I couldn't even muster up any sympathy for her...I just yelled at the TV "SHUT UP ALICIA". Jenn Graziano seems smarter than this....I wonder how she could let this happen to her "once wonderful show!" I'll still watch, with the hopes that Karen will return. I'm sure Lee doesn't show up because of his "mob ties", so as not to lose street cred. But who knows......maybe it's for legal reasons as well.I also hope Renee's storyline gets more real and interesting. I want to like her, because I used to so much,but this season's storyline seemed to "out there" for me. Kind of forced and like she was putting on a show. Oh well.......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
