[14:46] Tara Ariano: Our expectations for the finale, thanks to Bravo's promo department, were very high indeed. For you, did the episode deliver?
[14:46] Will Edmondson: Well, yes and no, to be honest. I was expecting an actual fight, but I am glad that my feelings about Teresa were vindicated, because she is by far and away the worst.
[14:47] Tara Ariano: STILL you think she's the worst?!
[14:47] Will Edmondson: Oh, I think there's no doubt she's the worst! She Hulked out about nothing!
[14:47] Tara Ariano: Nooooo no no no no. That wasn't nothing. Danielle implied that Teresa was stupid. Nothing makes a stupid person more angry than that.
[14:48] Will Edmondson: Psh, "wasn't nothing." You've been in New Jersey too long.
[14:48] Tara Ariano: Ha! You're right.

[14:48] Tara Ariano: But if her outburst means that the phrase "prostitution whore" enters the lexicon, it was worth it.
[14:49] Will Edmondson: Well, she had to clarify because she couldn't say "attention" or "media" whore. That would just be the pot calling the kettle black.
[14:50] Tara Ariano: True, true. Yeah, every part of that event -- the "housewarming" party not thrown at the house, Danielle getting invited, Danielle busting out the book -- was obviously producer-contrived, but still, the girls made it their own.
[14:52] Will Edmondson: That's exactly right. You can't teach the proper passive-aggressive angle to orient your tell-all book. Danielle is a maestro.
[14:52] Tara Ariano: Even if we never come to terms on who's the worst, after last night there should be no debate over who's the best.

[14:53] Will Edmondson: Oh, absolutely! Caroline is a bull! And friends with Bernie Kerik!
[14:53] Tara Ariano: So awesome. I knew she had something up her sleeve when she kept shutting Dina up and making her let Danielle finish. She was like a black widow spider sitting on her web. Just waiting. And then: "It was me." AWESOME.
[14:55] WillEdmondson: Yes, but what did it for me was when she went over to that TWO-FACED JACQUELINE and said "You know who's upset tonight? My parents." "MY PARENTS"!
[14:55] Tara Ariano: Who are...dead?
[14:56] Will Edmondson: Well, if they're alive they're at least forever shamed and embarrassed by their children's displays.
[14:57] Tara Ariano: Except? [Jacqueline's husband] Chris. a.k.a. Gandhino.
[14:58] Will Edmondson: Haha! Gandhino, who allows the scene to unfold, crumble into disaster, and then, as if by some glorious act of God (read: prompted by Bravo writing intern), saves the day with a touching speech welcoming the Joker into his home. And, we all know women have no say over their homes, Tara. So that's like writing a law!
[14:59] Tara Ariano: Having his pushing-40 wife sitting on his knee at the time gave his wise speech that much more gravitas.

[15:00] Will Edmondson: Right. But speaking of homes, let's talk about Teresa's "Jersey Chateau."
[15:00] Tara Ariano: Oh let's do. I was kind of dubious about it, but if it has Dina's stamp of approval, I guess it's tasteful and elegant.
[15:01] Will Edmondson: And of course, her ninja turtle husband's bathtub wine operation. ("WINE-A-BUNGA, DUDE!")
[15:01] Tara Ariano: The way Dina was carrying on about the smell, I did wonder if it was not so much wine he makes as maybe pruno.
[15:02] Will Edmondson: Or, maybe, that's just the smell of festering corpses from coordinated mafia hits that have all coincidentally taken place in that same spot?
[15:02] Tara Ariano: Allegedly!

[15:02] Tara Ariano: We want a Season 2, don't we?
[15:03] Will Edmondson: Are you kidding me? I hope we get a "Jersey Housewives: SVU"-type deal about how those kids cope with adolescence.
[15:03] Tara Ariano: I'm thrilled that we're already getting a megamixed hour-long version of the dinner party tomorrow night.
[15:05] Will Edmondson: Yes! Oh my God. Bravo is a bunch of geniuses. Evil geniuses.
