So Jim finally spilled the beans and blurted out the secret that's been plaguing the housewives pretty much the entire season - except it wasn't as juicy as I thought it was going to be.

The beans were spilled on the coach at the house that Dina rented for the housewives. Teresa asked Jim some question about Rino dating a stripper and he classily replied "no but I think he f*cked your mom!" Real nice Jim, real nice. After the last episode when the twins were going nuts over what Dina supposedly had to tell them, I'm sure the twins knew that their family secret was going to be let out. So imagine my surprise when everything went calmly and  Jim's bombshell received nothing more than the declaration "that's disgusting". I mean sure, Teresa cried a bit and pretended to storm out of the house (she later returned with Rino, who was apparently stashed somewhere nearby), but she and her twin didn't seem to be blindsided at all. I smell something foul...either someone tipped the twins off, or this is just bad editing.

Nonetheless, Dina seemed to bear the brunt of the reveal more than Jim did. "This is the rumor I was trying to tell you about," Dina said to Teresa. Instead of being grateful that Dina tried to warn her, which should have been her reaction, she lashed out at her. After accusing the ladies of talking behind her back, Dina declared she was DONE! Uh oh, Nicole and Teresa may think they're the hardest thing to hit RHONJ since Danielle Staub, but Dina Manzo is one b*itch I wouldn't want to mess with!

Understandably fed up in the morning after being "turned against" Dina decided to hit the culprit that started the entire incident, meaning she asked Amber and Jim to leave. This is another part in the episode where I got confused. Amber was so pissed at Jim the night before, begging him to stop talking and feeling disrespected, but as soon as Dina kicked them out, she was on his side. They acted indignant, like Jim didn't blurt out a nasty secret that never should have been said out loud, much less the way he said it. Amber was all like "I'm supposed to be celebrating cancer-free and this is how they treat me?" Please girlfriend, this has nothing to do with that. Your husband is a douche and if he hadn't been out for blood, you could have been sun soaking in Boca. So blame him.

So to take a tally, there are several new feuds that are brewing from this one topic. Amber and Jim are no longer cool with Dina after being tossed from her home. Dina isn't too keen on the twins either and the feeling is mutual. Nicole feels that as soon as Victoria Gotti said anything, Amber and Teresa should have shut it down immediately after. How do you shut down something, if you don't know  whether or not it's true? The twins still hate Amber and Jim and according to the previews from next week, it appears that Dina gets angry at Teresa Guidice for even telling her about the rumor in the first place!
