'Real Housewives of New Jersey' recap: O come all ye wastrels

Last week on "Real Housewives of New Jersey" ... well, I was on a blessedly Bravo-free vacation, but it sounds like my colleague Amy Kuperinsky had a ball with the hotly-anticipated Caroline Manzo - Kim Granatell showdown.

At Teresa Giudice's Christmas dinner, Joe Gorga tells Teresa that he has to go to Kathy and Rich Wakile ’s, but Teresa’s upset that they’re choosing Kathy and Rich over her family. Joe tries to placate her, but Teresa is outraged that Kathy would dare ask her brother – whom, as we’ve seen lo these two months, has been passive-aggressively, and occasionally aggressive-aggressively feuding with Teresa – over for Christmas. “Why would you invite my brother to your house for Christmas Eve? … Kathy’s kind of evil, right?” Move over, Idi Amin. Kathy probably serves sprinkle cookies to the political prisoners in her basement. Joe says that Kathy wanted to invite Teresa too, but reconsidered because of their frosty relations. Teresa claims Kathy tried to hurt her; Joe says she needs to work that out with Kathy. Teresa tells him that she wants to concentrate on her relationship with Joe, not Kathy. As the Gorgas say their goodbyes, Giacinto Gorga tells Joe and Melissa that they’ll have dinner together next week; after all, he’s come by three times and they haven’t been around. When Melissa tells him to call first, Giacinto says, “I don’t use the phone.” That’s reasonable.

Poor Caroline, clearly exhausted, not a lick of makeup on, cleaning up the mess of the Christmas dinner. That, my friends, is reality. I think that’s baby Nicholas Laurita sacked out on a chair, one of the Mango dogs lapping his little ankles. Cute! Everyone tries to convince C.J. Laurita that they hear something; it’s Chris Manzo hiding behind the deck jingling bells. C.J. is not convinced. He’s clearly the brains of that family. Caroline says she’s going to invite the Gorgas to the New Year’s party at the Brownstone – she says she “can’t get enough of Joe” – but she’s not sure if she’s going to invite the Wakiles. “Teresa says no,” Jacqueline Laurita tells her. “Well, it’s not Teresa’s party,” Caroline says. I already can't wait for this party.
