There can only be one Punta Princess, as Kathy Wakile points out, but both Teresa and her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga want the title. An argument could be made that Melissa deserves the crown solely for the way she hung her head out the airport van window and hollered at the men who, having just landed in the country were now peeing on the side of the highway, “Have some claaaaaaaass!” On the first day’s boat trip, Melissa and Teresa, and their respective Joes, have a tense pose-off in their bikinis.

But it’s Kathy who brings the drama when she tells Teresa, who is opening a restaurant, that she could never open a restaurant because it would take her away from her children.

Greg Bennett, there along with the Manzo kids, is that rare fan who gets a front-row seat to a housewife fight, and he delights in giving commentary on the performance of his “beloved Kathy.”

A gorgeous RV trip up the California coastline, stopping to surf and paddle canoes, and ending in wine country. Who wouldn’t love it? Well, Joe Giudice for one, because it takes him away from whoever was on the other end of that infamous vineyard phone call that his “bitch wife” interrupted, and his bitch wife, because it means she has to pretend to like her cousin Kathy’s company.

Despite his wife Caroline assuring him it would be just the two of them, here he is escorting her elderly parents up a mountain and babysitting the screaming Giudice children about a cruise ship.
