'Real Housewives of New Jersey': Dolores apologizes to Jackie after deciding to ignore her; will this new friendship last?
'Real Housewives of New Jersey' has been churning unexpected plotlines, thanks to Jennifer Aydin's birthday trip to Jamaica. Friendships and relationships are fragile in this part of the world, but that doesn't mean they cannot be fixed. Dolores Catania and Jackie Goldschneider have been at each other's throats the entire time they were holidaying, only to realize they were both bigger than engaging in pettiness.
The two spewed venom and said nasty things to each other, so much so that they swore to not be friends as they expressed their hatred for one another at the cast dinner. The next morning, Dolores and Jackie woke up complaining about each other to the rest of the housemates and promised to not overthink the previous night's happenings and focus on having fun instead.
Later, the girls left for a quick meet-greet with the dolphins just outside their hotel where they were guided by experts as they stepped into a pool to spend some quality time with the water babies. Dolores, Jennifer and Margaret Josephs went in first and had a good time paddling the surfboard and kissing the dolphins. Round two saw Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Jackie have their share of fun. In a surprise twist, Dolores cheered Jackie on when she aced bodyboarding with the mammals.
It was refreshing to see Dolores take the first step towards bridging the gap between her and Jackie. What she did was an endearing gesture given how she couldn't stop talking about how Jackie holds on to grudges and cannot seem to let things go just hours before she decided to stand for her at the pool. The same night, Dolores even apologized for being mean and rude with her comments on Jackie, and the action was well reciprocated. A birthday miracle, perhaps?
But, the real question here is will their newfound friendship stand the test of time? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, fans are still not over how nagging Dolores can get when it comes to Jackie. Here's what they said:
"Dolores is tap dancing on my nerves. She said she had no interest in being friends with Jackie because she’s not her cup of tea. Cool, stop nagging and move on. How many times has she said Jackie’s name at this point?? #RHONJ," tweeted a fan.
Another wrote, "Dolores says Jackie can't let things go but she wakes up mad from the night before. What a hypocrit. #Rhonj"
"It pisses Dolores off that “Jackie doesn’t let it go...” but she’s now dragging this stupid fight on for a third day?? Bitch please. #RHONJ," posted a fan.
"Dolores says she doesn’t like Jackie because Jackie can’t let shit go... yet here she is besties with Teresa who is queen of grudges. Smells like hypocrisy to me #rhonj," added another.
