Caroline Manzo was always one of my favorites on RHONJ. It wasn't because she caused the most drama - to be honest, she spent majority of her time fixing everyone else's problems - but because I loved her family and how close knit they are. Now she has her own show - all about her family! After tuning in for the first episode, I'm hooked. Here's what's been going on with the Manzo family since they left RHONJ. 

For starters, Caroline has a full house again. Albie and Chris moved back in so they could put all their money into their business and Lauren won't be living with Vito until they say "I Do" next year. With the boys, came a messy house and tons of junk food, but Caroline loves having all her children under one roof. 

Finally marrying her longtime boyfriend Vito, Lauren is trying to make sure her wedding day is going to be perfect. She did a wedding down photo shoot with Glamour magazine, and she looks amazing in the wedding gowns. One big priority for her was to make sure she didn't sweat like a pig on the big day, so she decided to botox her armpits. That's right, BOTOX her armpits. Yuck! Anything for beauty I suppose. 

There isn't much of an update on the boys, except that they moved back into the family home. I'm guessing their Blk water venture isn't doing so well because they're not talking about it and Chris and Jacqueline are downsizing their home over in the world of RHONJ. 

Like I said, I'm a big fan of Caroline and her family, but I don't know if they can produce the kind of drama that Bravo fans are accustomed to. Caroline doing trapeze acts and Albert fondling and weighing her boobs are only going to go so far!  There is one big fight between Lauren and Albie, but that happens next week...so what about the rest of the season? I guess we'll have to stay tuned to find out!
