Jacqueline read an article in Life & Style that claimed both Joe and Teresa could possibly be going to jail. It really upset her that her friend wasn't talking to her, and that she had to read about her life in the tabloids. I'm sure that would upset any normal human being.

Everyone seemed like they didn't know what to believe since the story came out at the same time that the Giudices decided to do some pretty extensive (and unnecessary) home improvements. Joe Giudice decided to build a carport next to the house, complete with a chandelier. If I were one of the people that lost money to their bankruptcy I would be pretty pissed watching this show. They give bankruptcy a bad name.

When they went to see their lawyer, poor Teresa could have been just trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel and Joe Giudice said he wanted to get past the whole bankruptcy thing, but it seemed to me that they weren't taking the whole thing seriously.

It was revealed that in the earlier stages of the bankruptcy proceedings, Chris offered to buy the items that were threatening to be auctioned off and give them back to Joe and Teresa.  Between that Jacqueline getting upset because Teresa wouldn't confide in her, it seems like they are really good friends to them.

Jacqueline decided to confront Teresa about her lack of communication and it ended up getting extremely heated. All of a sudden Caroline popped up, and Teresa looked at her like she saw a ghost. Then the fight became more about Caroline and Teresa's feud. Jacqueline ended the fight by saying that she was going to distance herself from Teresa. Of course, instead of taking accountability for any of her actions, she decided that both turned on her.

I've been Team Melissa since she came on the show, but when it was revealed that she may have been conspiring with Danielle Staub two years ago to hurt Teresa, I'm afraid I may have to revoke vote in this election. I'm waiting on a bit more proof, but this does explain why Danielle knew about the drama surrounding the birth of Melissa's son and why Teresa didn't acknowledge him.

Next week, it appears that Melissa may admit to communicating with the former housewife and Jacqueline and Teresa's fight goes to another level.
