The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1 Revie & Giveaway

Being a New Jersey housewife myself, minus the big hair, I was very excited to get the chance to review Season One of The Real Housewives of New Jersey which was just released on March 30th.  This awesome series was new to Bravo this year and was filled with the kind of drama you can expect from us Jersey girls. 

One of the most interesting things about this show was that for the first time in reality housewife tv, there were two sisters on the show who were actually married to two brothers, plus one sister-in-law.  This leads to some cat fights that only family could pull off.   Some of my favorite scenes take place in Atlantic City because that is a place I visit at least twice a month. My ex-husband who is a chef in the casinos, was actually there for some of the filming and witnessed that the ladies are pretty much the same off camera as they are on camera.

The DVD itself offers a lot of bonus footage and director's cuts that you won't see anywhere else. And of course its great to get to skip the commericals. There are also interactive quizzes for the hard core fans. Its lots of fun for me to watch this show since the girls are from my home state, but even if you live somewhere else, you won't want to miss the shopping, decorating, dating, and of course the fighting of the Real New Jersey Housewives.  Here is a little info on the DVD set:

DISC 1 (approx 157 min): Season Preview / Thicker Than Water / Mama Knows Best / Not One of Us / bonus – Text Bios

DISC 2 (approx 135 min): Black & White & Read All Over / Casinos and C-Cups / The Last Supper (Finale)

DISC 3 (approx 180 min): The Last Supper Director’s Cut / Reunion: Watch What Happens, Pt. 1 / Reunion: Watch What Happens, Pt. 2 / The Lost Footage / bonus – Quiz
