Hello! Dina I was watching the show where your friend flipped the table last saturday and OMG ladies you are so beautiful to be acting that low you reflect on your faces so much hate against Daniel I hope this is just part of the show because when people spend all the time you girls have spent inquiring about her life and trying to make her look like if she was a terrible person can only be unhappiness in someones life maybe you ladies inside you wish you could have her life. Ladies you'r so beautiful I enjoy watching the show please show more about your wonderful lives and forget about Daniel. PS.I wish we can see your husband next season ...

you are wonderful! can't wait to watch you next season..... i LOVE you and Lexi... you crack me up!!! xoxo, Gina

I run an animal shelter for a city municipality. The city is very low income. In one year, I raised our "out alive rate" for dogs up to 74%! This is fantastic. We are running on a very low budget and we are not allowed to ask for donations because we are a municipality. However, we can accept donations. You have shown your love for animals. What have you done to support shelters and animal enforcement units? I donate a large portion of my small salary. What have your children done for the animals? My 11 year old daughter volunteers about 20 hours per week during the school year and about 40 hours per week during school breaks.

Dina - I love your show - it's so entertaining! What shade of lipstick were you wearing on the reunion shows? Thanks!

Dina i absolutly love you and caroline and teresa. You 3 should do the show next seasson . AS for Lexi , all i can say is wow she really is a great girl and i would hope she would be on the seasons to come I would love to wach her grow into a great adult. I truly love love love hw of nj.

You are the best..........but, you need to start fighting your own battles. Almost every word out of your sisters mouth is ridiculous. She "dislikes people before she decides whether to like them or not". What is that? Also, her "bring it on" comment made everyone I know sick. Who does she think she is?

Dina, it's easy to forgive and forget things that happen with family. Now, try to have some compassion for a non-family member. Get rid of the family click and the show will be so much better. Caroline has become a bully.
Also, there is no way it is ok for anyone to flip a table out of anger. Let's hope that Theresa's little girls don't get her mad. (like refusing to wear lip gloss). When she talked about getting a boob job in front of the girls, that was it for me.

Dina, be true to yourself and give Danielle a break...I really believe she needs one. Don't be afraid of what Caroline will say. She's not God.

I have been a fan of all of the Real Housewife shows. But yours is the best! I admire and respect Caroline. She is what every sister should be!

Hi Dina,

I just want to say that you all are fantastic. I have love, love, loved watching this show. I am warmed by how close and real you and your family are. It is such a pleasure to watch how you all love each other. Of course the drama has been fabulous as well.

Kudos to you for your amazing charity work. My best friend has cancer and it is so awful to have her go through so much. Her two small daughters giver her courage and make the rest of us brave. I was wondering how you started up your charity?

Please take care and I hope that there is a season two coming!

Sincerely,
Sydney

dina you are a badass! you are my all time favorite person. if i could meet anyone it wouls be you by far!!

Hi Dina I loved, loved, loved the show. I wathced the real house wives series before this one and thought that it was good but many of the people seemed a little faky. I would say that you guys were not faky at all. I do not think you're a bitch, but I can definately see that you do not have time nor do want to make time for nonsense. There must have been a lot of things that went on behind the scenes between you and Danielle, and I think it is good that you're taking the high road and saying lets move on. Caroline is an amazing woman, very strong and loving, and protective of her family and herself. Nothing wrong with that, we all should be more protective of our loved ones and of our selves. Teresa was a hoot. What an amazing woman, funny, beautiful, and a very loving mom and wife. Her husband seemed to be very real too, I loved it when he said "what do I care, happy wife, happy life." I wish more men would get that. I just want my husband to clean out the garage. Jacqueline seems to be a very sweet woman also, has her hands full with Ashley, but I think she is just your typical teenager. Now as for Danielle, the DRAMA QUEEN, wow, not real impresses with her. I understand she had a hard life and that is very unfortuante, but we choose how we live our adult lives and what we teach our children. I don't think she is a bad mom but I do think she may give them a little too much information that they may not be quite ready to handle. I am all for being friends with your kids, but there is a fine line that you don't want to croos. They need to know that you're stll the parent, and they truly want to know that you have things under control.
Any how I just wanted to say that I thought the show was great and you ladies did a fine job. It was fun to watch, thanks for putting yourself out there like that.
Deb

you are so beautifuland elegant!!!!!!

I had no idea what all the fuss was when my friends asked if I watched the Housewives of N.J. Didn't know what they were speaking of even tho I am a reality show junkie. I began to watch and found I can't get enough of you! I love your show and can't wait til next season. May I invite all of you to be my friend on FaceBook? It's free and fun. People from 30 yrs. ago are sending greetings after finding me. Email me back. God Bless all you beautiful women. I envy your large, close family! You should adopt me...I am an only child but have 4 grown kids and 7 grandkids. Take care, all and keep well! Love, ~ Grainee Ellman ~

Dina...First of all hello. I have recently gotten into the show by watching re runs on weekends. I have to say, the drama and excitement pulled me in right away. I lived in NJ for 15 years and would have loved to be your friend. You are truly a beautiful person and your cat is very amazing. Love, love, love!!! I look forward to the up coming season and all the drama. Have a beautiful summer!

My husband and I both love the show! You and your sis and Teresa are our favs! Hope you and the fam get it all worked out! As for Danielle....can they take her off the show? Just watch the looks she gives yall! My take on her is she is vicious and vindictive not the type of person you could ever trust. She needs to be a mom not a self centered skeez. Kick her butt!!! Better yet let Caroline's dogs at her! Go Jersery! From A Dallas area housewife!

Dina- My friends, family, and I feel like you are so classy and an exotic beauty, and your family is highly entertaining to watch. I would have never dreamed that "Jersey Housewives" would be my favorite!! You and Caroline stay true to yourselves, because the rest of us see all the RED FLAGS, when we watch Danielle, just creepy. Give my love to the rest of the "family", cant wait for the next season!! Liz

Dina, I admire the close relationship you and Caroline have.
My sister and I have never been close and we seldom speak unless we have to.

dina you are the besttttttt! my gosh if i ever admired anyone on a show its you! i could never hold it together like you did!!!!!! ugh if i was talking to daniele or w.e her name is i would rip her apart! you are something else!

Dina,

I just want to say I totally admire you and you are definitley on my list of women to watch. You are so ladylike, beautiful, classy while still remaining down to earth. Your choice to stay at home with your wonderful daughter was an admirable one, although I must say I was looking forward to seeing some of the events you design.

As an up-and-comming lifestyle guru, I look up to you and hope my career can blossom like your's and that I am successful enough to be able to put my child first one day when I have one!

Bringing that book and bringing that drama to the family dinner was so tacky and I could tell you were OVER IT! I am the same way in that when the drama means nothing to me, it is pointless to argue with someone like Danielle, shes crazy! I would have just left as well, I could see you were ready to go, I dont blame you one bit!

I will be checking your website from time to time to see if you have a pretty party dress for me one day, I do love the white croc bag though...

Love,

Chloe Doll

Dina,
Just wanted to let you know that I'm right with you. I took one look at Danielle and knew that she was no good. It's one thing to want to be honest with your kids, quite another to expose them to things that are harmful at such young ages. Just the looks on their faces when she was showing them the pictures of herself should have told her that they were not even close to being ready for that level of 'honesty'. Let alone bringing out that book and starting a horrible fight at a nice, family dinner right in front of them. I truly hope that someone from Child Protective Services is watching this show. Anyway, I wanted to make sure that you got to see this:

It's hard to lie when there are court documents out there.
Take care, Lori

I think you like a little drama yourself. I think you were upset because Danielle called you out for what you did in regards to the book. Its okay if you don't like her and she doesn't like you. However, you have no right to say who your sister-in-law can be friends with or not.

Dina

I'm wondering what was the beef between Danielle and you. I think maybe I missed some footage because from the start you didn't like her. I don't feel as if everything was Danielle's fault. I need for you to own up to your part. You keep saying she wasn't a good mother but all of you at the dinner table was previously talking about sex and how Theresa's husband wanted and then when the book issue came up you all got concerned about the children. I think that was a little hypocritical myself.

If you and Caroline as so "thick as theives", why did you not just admit that you exposed the book around town? You lied about the book! That is a behavior I do not condone. I would have respected your "mafia sister" Caroline and you a lot more if it was real. Do not play hard if you are not. Hide behind BIG sister some more! Keep it real, gangsta girls! LOL!!!

Dina....You Go Girl! Continue to be the class act and sophisticated woman that you are! I believe you when you stated that you did not have the book or show the book around town. You are so correct....Danielle needs prayer! Just continue to pray for her because she has some unresolved issues in her life, and unfortunately she is taking those issues out on you. I'm just looking forward to the reunion show to see the outcome of the relationships. I am definitely looking foward to season 2! Take note Bravo Producers, the fans are looking foward to season 2!:) Blessings to you Dina!:)

Did you ever think of telling your sister to "put the book" away in the Salon. Although I have to say you did admit to enjoying some of the action in the last episode. So..I do give you credit for that. I think you and Caroline should take a 50/50 part of the "salon" incident. Just because she carried the book in does not absolve you.
Good luck with everything else...you seem like a great gal!

Dina, you are the epitome of a hypocrite! There you are sitting on camera, after the tableflip, going on about how inconsiderate and irresponsible it was of Danielle to not consider the childrens' welfare while arguing at the dinner in the restaurant and how could be so careless as to speak in front of them, ALTHOUGH DID DINA EVER ONCE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ABSOLUTE HORROR DANIELLE'S DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH AS A RESULT OF DINA'S GOSSIPING ABOUT, AND BRINGING AROUND TOWN, THAT BOOK FROM OVER 20 YEARS AGO ABOUT DANIELLE! The only reason Dina confessed to having started the rumours at the end of the dinner was because Jacqueline finally told the TRUTH about Dina's having been the instigator in finding the book info on the computer, then somehow Caroline finds it necessary to scramble to the library and have the book on her lap in her truck in front of the salon?! Anyone showing any respect for the Manzo women after them having to admit how underhanded, deceitful and dishonest they'd been all along, should take a good look at their own lives and to, hopefully, learn that, no matter what kind of trouble one is contemplating causing others' lives, CHILDREN SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE SUBJECTED TO THAT KIND OF DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR. These woman say they're good mothers; I wholeheartedly disagree. Karma is about to come back to these women and make them wish they'd never opened that can of worms. Shame on Caroline, Dina and Teresa. They are an example of how women should NEVER BEHAVE, EVER.

It was soooo sad that you did not admit to what you had done....you had you big sis taking all the blame....tell the truth....just like my mother said to me...the truth will set you free...better yet just mind your buisness...and worry about your own family...

I love you and your sister, so much like my Family I truly identify with you all and we are one hot Irish Family! You both showed a lot of class in the final episode and Danielle was so CLASSLESS! LOL

What I don't understand is everyone has said this was a family party ... then why was DRAMA QUEEN there ? Family is when you know people for a long time and or have a blood line. She is not family and will never be. I am glad that everthing is good between all the sisters the 4 of you. Was Drama Queen fun watch you bet your butt. But some of the stuff she said was rude and worried about what the town thought. What town would that be the one she lives in or the one she wants to live in . She can stay in the town she's in we don't need her in Franklin lakes !!

It was Danielle's choice to go dig out an out-of-print book? No it was not. You and your sister made the book a part of the show and there is no denying it. Remember, you are on a not so candid camera.

Dina starts her I'm so innocent story with "So, where do I begin with this hot mess?" well Ms dina the hot mess usually start with the person you see in the mirror. Bravo Danielle for standing up for yourself. Hummmmmmmm Dina you should try it and give Carolina a rest once in a while.

Mrs.Dina,
I was really pissed about that finale but not at you at danielle. She was completely out of line! You mam reacted way more classier than I would have. I for one think you are a very beautiful woman. I can only hope to have half a heart of giving as you do. Best of luck to you and your family. Ya'll are a blast!

Lexi is so funny! I was laughing out loud when she was pulling all those stuffed animals out from under her bed and then she sneezed and hit her head! Hope it didn't leave a bump. Then when she goes, "I have to show you something." All serious. And it's a drawer FULL of candy!! So hilarious! Thanks for the laughs! Dina, you seem like a great mom and Lexi is a great kid!

you are so freakin funny! who says "what does she want to skin me and wear me like last years versace" good stuff, can't wait for season 2

I'm an Italian girl from New Jersey and what can I say about the table flip, hey were intense women, please don't hate us. There's kindness, passion and love for family and friends on the flip side of that rage. As for Ms. Frankel's comment, here's comes my Jersey, where does she get the nerve to attack you in any way shape or form when on her show she was the second head case next to Kelly on her lack of family and relationships. She herself goes through more men and issues than we need to hear about. E! has a nerve to have her comment on you guys when she herself has a weird past and present and doesn't know much about what it is to be in a close family. Hope your back for season 2.

Hi Dina, I just blogged your sister Caroline and asked her if she wanted another sister or an older daughter!!Wishful hoping!! Anyway I love you also and,I love how you stay so calm when the rumors are flying.Its all jealousy on Danielles part she is a poisoness person and, needs god in her life.I feel badly for her girls.I just watched the clip again when she pulls out "THE BOOK" and she does NOT look nervous or scared AT ALL.She just looks around at everyone in a very cocky way sipping her wine waiting to see who dares to speak first! Its actually a creepy,evil,criminal look!!!If someone wrote a book about me that were full of lies "and these arent your everyday type of lie" I would have found an attourney and sued the pants off of him. On the other hand if its true "which" IN MY opinion after watching her,I believe most of it and, I think she is getting a cut from sales of THE BOOK.She has said on tv how broke she is and I believe she would do anything for money.So the story goes if it doesnt make sense, its a lie, and she makes no sense!! Judge Judy says it all the time on her show.Enough of her Ive given her too much of my thought process.I cant wait for next season hopefully minus one I just want to say your beautiful and keep up the good work. Luv Cindy FROM: California

Dina,
I am totally on your side. I think it was very immature of Danielle to bring that book to the dinner. I am only 13, but I love the show, and i think you are telling the truth about the book. Danielle deffinetly loves to bring the drama. Well I can' wait to see what goes down at the reunion. Good luck with everything.
- Big fan

Dina,
You are by far my favorite housewive to watch. You are so real and awesome!
Danielle is obviously jealous of you, but watch out that she doesn't skin you and wear you like last year's Versace! :)
Keep true to yourself.

Dina
You are my favorite! That's all I have to say.

Dina:
I love your style. Loved your wedding, best I've ever seen on TV! Don't be so snippy. Class is more subtle and more quiet. It may not make for good TV, but your portrayal will shine. Why no Tommy??? Has he been a good boy?

We love you and your sister & teresa!! And danielle was soo rude to bring that book out at her dinner party...she acts like that was the only place she could have brought up the book. Kudos to teresa for flippin out on her. Danielle seems like nothing but drama && even her kids dont seem to care what she has to say. I dont blame ya'll for not wanting to hang out with her. And I agree...blood is thicker than water. Jacqueline was an instigator trying to talk to Danille about the book situation && the whole time she knew what really happened. Boo on her. Snitches get stitches, point blank. We hate that the season is over...hope to see more from ya'll!

I was glad to see you quit work and spend time with your daughter. They grow and gone too fast and believe it not, there really is time in our life to do everything its just not all at once!

Danielle's past is her past and it will always sneak up and bite her in the you know what and she has not business fighting with people cause they found and are discussing it--free country we have that right to say what we want and when we want.

Teresa was too funny...Danielle was nasty to her and talked to her like a child. Danielle is trouble and will cause trouble with everyone and won't be happy unless she has eveyone fighting and mad.

You were the smartest to keep away from her to begin with. How did get on this show!!

Hi Dina,
I've seen you wear beaded cross necklaces. Some looked like beads and another one looked like gemstones. Is there a website? Very cute. Thanks

Dina, bravo to you on class, raising your beautiful daughter and family loyalty! Danielle needs to leave you alone and try to make friends elsewhere.

This whole time you've been ranting and raving about
your dislike for Danielle...she confronts you and you're silent. Why? How many times did you get up and almost leave? For what..or better yet, why didn't you? The title of your blog is appropriate....maybe your karma is what put you there.

It was oh so obvious that Caroline tried (unsuccessfully) to make viewers believe that she was the one responsible for outing Danielle when anyone with half a brain knows otherwise. Your assertions that 'you never had the book in your hands' doesn't mean you weren't just as guilty as Big Sis in stirring up that mess. For whatever reason you are the one obsessed with Danielle, not vice versa as you would have us believe.

I see you added where you got your dress and necklace from but where is the ring from?

Dina,

I do want to say that I love your charity work. I felt like I was in a deja vu when I watched your charity event. All of those elements have been a part of my life. I am the oldest of 4 sisters. When my sister was not even a year old , we were told she had cancer called neuroblastoma , which is basically a form of leukiema that mainly effects the children under the age of five. It was a huge ordeal for my parents and I was only five at the time. Unfortunately my sister passed away at the age of three . However, before my sister left this earth, my mom was vaccuming up ladybugs because they come in the house and stick the walls every fall , my sister was watching here one day and screamed "Mommy , don't kill them, they are good luck" . So now we like to of my sister as ladybug that;s always watching over us. I have dreamed of being able to form or work for a charity like that.

Dina, you are a very beautiful women, but you were wrong, I really believe you showed the book because you do not like Danielle, I am all for family sticking together, but if your're grown enough to show the book then you are grown enough own up to it. Don't hide behind your big sister because she is going to have your back regardless. I think you all do pick on Danielle to much and yes she can be a bit much, but you and your sister are not helping the situation much either. So you need to take ownership and stop acting like the victim.

Dina, nobody's perfect. Maybe you should be just thank ful that you got luckier the second time around and be compassionate. Danielle is very rough because of what she had gone through, she had to fight probably for everything she had. Put yourself in someone else's shoes and think of karma. Would you like your loved one to be humiliated because of what she had done 20 years before. I find you and Caroline like bullies. Danielle as wacky as she is, she is what she is but you and Caroline which I thought were the sanest, came out to be disappointing considering you bad judgment of bringing up a book probably provided by your other dear friend. Dirty Job. You talk like you are in the cosa nostra, you are the dangerous one.

Dina - you were disappointing. Take responsibility for your actions. Be honest and own it.

Dina I love you and you are so wonderful!! You are a great mom and enjoy watching you and the rest of the family. I agree totally with you all about Danielle! What the hell is up with that women!! She had some strange conversations with her daughters I too will pray for her!! Take care!

Dina,

Can you tell us again where you get your clothes? They're great...thanks...

All I have to say to you is act like the adult you are suppose to be. Don't let your sister Caroline take the heat for your dirty work. I know that you think that by batting the "big" baby blues, that everyone buys your innocent act. If you think that those viewers who are intelligent buy your act, think again. It's time to grow up and stop hiding behind your big sister's skirt.

I think you are a real genuine person and I admire your love for people. I agree with you though...I cannot stomach Danielle either. It means a lot to see someone like you say you do not care what people think. You are a good person.

People have the right to make mistakes in their past. Danielle is not your friend hence, she did not have the need to tell you anything about her past...It was none of you girls business. Showing the book around was very LOW. What a disgrace. Is this what you are teaching your daughter? to be a mean girl...Shame on you!

dina,
great job at the dinner you showed her. i think danielle is so fake . i think she likes to stir up all this drama and she is lying about the whole thing. you are great and you have so much class. you do a great job with your daughter and i hope there will be another season WITHOUT DANIELLE!

Dina you looked beautiful at dinner! Blue is your color, the dress was adorable. Danielle is disgusting and combative. I was sorry to see the way Jacqueline treated you.

I'm so glad Jacqueline outed your lies. You got caught and so did your sister. You were hiding behind her and Theresa? Weren't so tough when confronted with your lies face to face, were you?

Dina talks, talks, talks about the "Italian temper", but seemed a bit cowardice and intimidated by Danielle at the dinner party. Danielle made Dina and Teresa look like fools. Teresa flipped the table over only because Danielle embarassed her by making her look stupid. Caroline was awesome...she held her own.

I'm sorry, but I don't think family has the right to pick your friends, I love Jacqueline, Dina has issues with Danielle and Danielle has issues with Dina. I don't think it is healthy for a sister to uphold any family member if they are wrong. Dina is so adapt to Teresa fighting her battles, she was constantly hiding behind her. Dina was rude when she was at Danielle's home, and I don't like rude people. NO EXCUSE for it!!!

I must say, at first, that I really thought Dina was out to destroy Danielle for little reason. But after watching the last few episodes, especially the last one, I felt that Danielle destroyed herself. I also completely understood the stance the Dina and Caroline had with the situation. I come from a large New York Italian family. I was raised in South Georgia, but the saying has always been "fight among each other, but when someone from the outside attacks your own, bring the guns out." I completely identified. You are great, if not a little bitchy, Dina. But who am I to pass judgment. I got Italian, Irish, and a Southern upbringing that has me that way.

dina, got to tell you....you are a very beautiful woman....not only are you physically beautiful, but your smile and laugh is the BEST.....it's so much part of your beauty... your love for lexi shows because it's from the heart...and she's a great teen, i bet..wish we could meet your husband but i do respect his choice..
wish you ladies the best of health and happiness
michael

You all freakin' ROCK! Well, with the exception of Danielle. I feel bad saying that but she really did seem to bring it all on herself. I respect the way you handled the situation. I thought it showed a lot of maturity and just how caring you are to say, "I'll pray for you" instead of just telling her "where to go".

Before this show, I am ashamed to say that I had a totally stereo-typed image of what I thought all NJ women to be like and I must admit, I was so wrong. I thought you would all be superficial with "big hair" and manicured nails......and even with "all your money," you are not. I admire the love you share with each other and your families.

I really surprised myself with how much I enjoyed this show. You, Caroline and Teresa are the best. Thank you.

Dina- Let me first say that I admire you! I admire your courage to be a career oriented woman AND be a great mother. That's wonderful! Also, let me say that the last supper scene was eventful, but I felt you and your sis held your cool. Life goes on---and so does the opinions and rumors. If we focus on your family, friends and loved ones--what else is there to worry about??

Again, You were great & true to yourself. Love the "big hair" and the fact that you are unchanged by others!!
Rock on girlie!!!

Dina I loved you and still am you are a great mother and unlike Danielle you never try to live of people(men"s wealth to be exact). You understand your role as a mother and that is tremendous! Like you I feel sorry for Danielle's daughter she will get them alienated from the kids and her friends at school, I mean does the botox went through her common sense?! In my personal opinion she wish she was you and I can see that... continue to be yourself and stay bless

Dina,,,
I was so sad to see Jac throw you under the bus. Shame on her. Family first. To think she did that for that one. Amazing. Many Blessings!!

your amazing I love you Dina you are the best !
Your point on the giudice's being the comic's of the show your right
Teresa with histerical at the "last supper"
except from when she flipped the table and almost had a nervous breakdown
other then that she was the best.
I also love Lexi I'm 13 and she is hilarious and really pretty !
Team DINA & TERESA <3

Dina,

You are one wonderful mother. My heart almost broke when Lexi went to Cyprus for 2 weeks and you were so upset. She looks like a well-adjusted 13-year old young lady. She could only be that way because she has wonderful parents who communicate with her and are there for her at all times (even if she has stuffed animals under the bed). Keep up the great work you seem to be doing.

As far as Danielle is concerned, she was rude and very disrespectful by bringing that "Book" to the lovely dinner that Theresa planned. Didn't she realize it was a family dinner? If she had to confront any of you, it should have been in another setting, not at a dinner where there were family and children. She has no class. Looks like she just can't get over herself. If Jacqueline wants to be friends with someone like that, that's her decision and she should not add her into the family picture.

You and Caroline ROCK. Here's to TRADITION and to all great Italian families out there (mine included)....long may be reign!

Can't wait till next season :)

I like the way you dress but what I don’t get the underlying treats
“I know the word if someone try to mess with me!!”
“Bring on!”
Is this jersey? Or Sicily?

Your great! I love you, Caroline and Theresa. Danielle is not only jealous, but very crazy. Keep up the good work. Stay true to yourself.

OH, so over you at this point. You sit there while Danielle confronts you and you let your sister take the blame, all the while you sit there and 'act' like you didn't have a hand in the spreading of vicious rumors. Danielle is not right, your not right, your sister isn't right....the truth is the truth - admit your wrong doing and be done with it!

Hi Dina,
You and Caroline are an example of what sisters should be; respectful of one another and will go to back for each other no matter what. In time Jacqueline will realize the true meaning of family. As my dad would always say, "Friends come & go - family is forever". If Danielle was a true friend of Jacqueline's she would never put Jacqueline in position as she did throughout the show. Danielle constantly brought you into every conversation no matter what the event was; even when Jacqueline would ask her not to (good friend). Obviously Danielle brings drama to her every day life as her daughters were not phased by her behavior. The book had no place at a family dinner with children present. Everyone was enjoying themselves, and of course Danielle wanted some attention, so... place the book on the table. Again, Jacqueline's friend?
Bravo should create a new houswives show: Tamara (OC), Kelly (NY), Ramona (NY), Kim (Atl) and Danielle (NJ) - they can call it "Skank-wives of Bravo".
Thank you and your family (Teresa, Joe & the girls is your family, too) for a good season; hope you all come back. America needs to see how families should be - "...thick as thieves..." Love it! My family is the same way, "...you messing with me, you're messing with the whole family..." our family slogan (got the t-shirt).

Fan in California

I think Dina should of owned up to showing the book around...how old are you? And your letting your older sister do all of your dirty work!!! PRETTY FUNNY!! Dina looked so stupid on this episode and im glad Jacqueline said the truth!!!!!

As I stated on Teresa's blog you and Caroline and T ROCK! Good for you!

First I want to say that I think you are absolutely beautiful. Stunning. Next, I am sorry to say it was very cowardly for you to run and hide behind Theresa. You need to be strong and stand up for the fact that you didn't like what you learned about her. You guys should have all confronted her (I mean that would have been better than having it brought up at a nice dinner). But what's done is done and I like you guys better than anything of the shows.

Trying to hide behind your big sister was ridiculous...you are a grown woman take responsibility for your own choices. It is hard to respect someone who seems to find it so easy to lie and doesn't have the guts to stand up for their actions. Did you ever consider her children? Even though you don't like Danielle and certainly don't have to like her, do you think of the effect your actions might have on those little girls? Danielle apparently didn't but aren't you supposed to be such a kind mother and family woman...I guess the concern and kindness doesn't apply to children that don't belong to you. How sad...

Dina,

You and all the girls, except "D" are great. This is my favorite Housewives show because you are all so real and down to Earth. You earned what you have and wish you all the best. You made the right decision to be a stay at home Mom. I have always had to work and wish that I could be at home with my son who is now 14. I feel guilt everyday that I am missing out on something too. In regards to the AC trip; you have a great body so don't be afraid to wear that bikini.

Anyway, I hope to see you all for season two. BTW, where did you get those earrings you were wearing in the finale; they are so pretty.

Dina was great to follow, and I love her private, family nature. She never felt right about Danielle, and with good reason; that woman brings trouble on herself. She intentionally ruined a dinner party; I'd flip a table, too.

Demanding "respect" from people is ridiculous. Respect is earned; Dina and Caroline played their cards right, and found that woman out. We're talking about protecting their families, and they did the right thing.

Jacqueline has a big heart and I'm glad you've both mended. Teresa would be my pick for best friend, as well. She's classy, proud of her family, and protective of those she loves. I've seen every episode and she managed to bite her tongue A LOT when dealing with Danielle; she was bound to blow a fuse. Who could fault her, really? I was the viewer clapping while watching that episode...good for her. Danielle's lucky she only got a table in her face.

Good luck to all of you....I hope you all return.

Dina you are my favorite. A bit of drama doused with class. Well played.

Dina you are the best one on the show. A bit of drama doused with class. Well played.

Dina,
I have been very curious... In the first episode you and your sister Caroline go house hunting ...You said you needed a bigger house for entertaining.
Did you ever move?? If so , Congrats and lots of Mazel!!!! - Florida Fan

Dina... you're the best ..

luv that Italian fam.. caroline the best too.. hate danielle... what she puts her daughters through.. she should be ashamed.. !!!! hope season 2 comes back soon.!!!

Dina,
You are a class act!! You are an amazing mother, a truly beautiful person, intelligent, and caring. I applaud your choice to stay home with your daughter. I think a mother's role and presence in her children's lives should never be underestimated. The love you have for your family and friends is obviously deep. Caroline, Teresa, Jacqueline, and all your family are very lucky to have you on their side.
It had to hurt when Jaqueline was so rude and two faced. Danielle is obviously a dirty, nasty, pervert of a human being. She definitely seems a tad obsessed with you. I would not want her anywhere around me or my children. I would have warned all those close to me just as Caroline did. For Jacqueline to pick her over you was shocking. Danielle doesn't even have enough decency to sensor herself to her own children (showing them hedonistic pictures of herself?!). Why Jacqueline feels the need to defend a known paid whore is puzzling and sad. She will learn her lesson one day though.
Keep being the classy woman you are!!

Dina,

I love this Housewives over any other! I wanted to take time out of my busy day, to tell all of you (except Danielle) that you are wonderful mothers! I love love the way all of you take care of your children and family. Your sister Caroline is my favorite! I love the way she stands up for all of you.
Also, Teresa is so so sweet. She is so great to those girls. Even though she had a blow out during the dinner, i think she did a great job keeping it together as long as she did. As soon as I saw that book, I would have asked her to leave! My mouth dropped open, the min. I saw that book come out. How rude is that, there is a time and a place. Its obvious she doesn't believe that.
I also loved how you and Teresa sent your children out right away during the dinner. I understand Danielle wants to be honest with her girls, but they do not need to see and hear everything. I believe they are exposed to much. Although I only see what the show has aired, I still think it was enough to judge her.
Ok, Im not trying to write a book here. Soooo to end this comment, keep being a G R E A T mom!

I am on Team Dina/Caroline! I absolutely love you two. Quick question - where did you get that beautiful dress at the dinner.

dina! can i just tell you how much i love you? ah, you've got me hookeddd to this show! you and lexi are so adorable. i just love it. your so down to earth and just awesome. i'm team dina all the way! keep it up girly, i think your gorgeous ( :

Hi Dina, I loveeeeeeeee the show I have never watched any until people were convinced I looked like kelly from ny housewives so i inquired and I live in jersey and I am italian so I watched and I am hooked and you are by far my fav , i have a little girl who wears glasses and I am divorced so I just am hookeddddddd. Its my guilty pleasure. You are very classy and very real and you cant ask for more. hope all is well and I think I want to get a blow out at chateau lol.:)

Hi Dina, I'm enjoying, watching your's and your cute daughter's life, with all that drama, my goodness, what did you do, to deserve all that hate, from Danielle? All I can say is, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy. I love, how your sister looks out for you, looks out, for the whole family. Your very fortunate, to have each other. Don't be too upset with Jacqueline,she'll find out soon enough, what kind of a friend, Danielle, is, hopefully, it won't be too devestating, to her, she's too sweet, we all like her, alot. Is Lexi's father, going to be seen, next season? We'd like to see what he looks like. I love, how your over protective, with Lexi. They grow up, too fast. Maybe, you should work, part time, stay home more with her. You won't regret it. You teach her how to cook, take care of the house, do laundry, it will mean more, coming from you, and she'll learn the right way. Don't pay no mind, to what Danielle has to say, we don't. I started watching, the housewives from New York, then the one's from Atlanta, their alright, I love you guys, the one's from the O.C, are too blonde, for me, deet,dadee!! Well, you keep on doing, what your doing, it's working. Stay true to yourself, charish the seconds, you have with your family, don't show your fear, to Caroline's beautiful dogs, you'll be safe, their the best breed of dogs, for a family, for anybody, my daughter has one, and he is my grand-dog, he protects us all, and I love you cats, I love both, cats and dogs, your's are soooo precious, I love, love, love them. I just, Love Teresa, don't you? Well, enjoy the next season, coming, I am. Take care, give Lexi, a big hug, from grandma, from Salt Lake City.

Dear Dina,
I have to say that I see many different responses to you and of course Danielle, but I do believe that some of the extra enhancement is there to get the audience going. I also feel that much of your opinions and the way that you connect with the gals, is genuine. I have to admit that I waited for this episode with the final dinner, but I am sad as the weeks have gone too quickly. You know at first, I was all into Orange County Wives, then New York, but I have to say, New Jersey has stolen my heart. I love the way your sister stands by you, and I know that Lexi is such a lucky kid to have a mom like you. Don't let any bad comments get to you as people like to challenge you, mostly to get their own frustrations out. Who knows, they probably wish they were YOU...Theresa does make me chuckle and no I did not expect her to flip the table, but at that moment Danielle had aimed a second snippy comment at Theresa which I knew "That was it".....
Well, I enjoyed all of you, Jacqueline whom I did not mention, I like her loyalty when needed. Oh, and the attack dogs, they scare me too. I am pet lover since I knew what pets were, but you want to laugh, my mother had her strapless dress pulled down by a German Shepard as he jumped up on her. She almost had a heart attack and since that incident, she is now afraid of large dogs. I understand the logic of protection for Caroline, but I don't always trust that the dog may turn on one of the family someday, God forbid I would never want to see that, but by being taught all of the tactics of protection, the dog could flip his lid at any given time.
Your sister is a smart woman so I am sure she knows best.
Oh, and Grandma-wrinkles does have a different look, but I am quite sure that after being around her all the time, you get attached to her like any other cat. Does she go outside? I am guessing no, or hoping not in cold weather. I don't know much about furless type. My cat passed recently on March 20th 09. I still miss him and I get a lump in my throat when I look at his pictures. Well, I wrote too much..take care Dina. Hope you get to read this..Stay the way you are, all of you...great show..Deb

OMG i love you and your sisiter and Teresa. You girls are so real. Danille is so lonely that the only attention she gets is bringing out that damn book. But I love this show This housewives is my and my girls FAV. Love it, I love your daughter she reminds me of mine
