All of them are totally mobbed up.

They should be glad Danielle attracts most of the attention because otherwise they''d be wondering how a catering hall manages to support so many people and how Joe''s job in "construction" seems to pay so extraordinarily well even when the construction industry is in a big downturn.

anyone see part 2 last night? What was Caroline referring to?

I missed it...

I wonder if it''s on tonight again? From the sneak peak, Caroline looked like she was about to lose her cool.

Apparently Danielle did something or gave someone information that could have led to some "innocent" people being hurt. There are allusions to it in their Bravotv blogs.

I don''t know about the state of construction in FL now, but when Nate and I were house shopping last year, the first house we put a offer on was in FL. If he builds houses in the area, I''m sure he does well. You should see some of these places, they are gorgeous.

Penn Quaker -

I work in the construction industry. Did you see Joe''s office in an earlier episode? Joe isn''t building high-end houses anywhere. And if he were building high-end houses someplace, especially Florida, he''d be broke now. Instead, he''s peeling off hundreds from a big wad of cash and his wife is paying for tens of thousands of dollars of furniture in cash. The construction business in the greater NY area has traditionally been mob-infiltrated, particularly in certain trades - concrete for one - where kickbacks and payoffs are just part of doing business. I''ll bet Joe is more involved in that end of the construction industry.

As for the big secret in the second reunion episode - what a bore! - I think Danielle talked to Dina''s ex. My guess is that Jacqueline confided in Danielle that Dina might have a drinking problem and Danielle passed on that information to Lexi''s father with an eye toward causing Dina trouble. It would explain Danielle''s telling Dina "At least I''m not drunk in front of my daughters at 2 a.m." and might be the real reason Dina quit her events planning job which would involve late hours and parties where alcohol was served. Jacqueline telling family secrets to Danielle might explain the rift between Dina and Jacqueline, and why Caroline - to whom family is an obsession - would have gone off the deep end if it might have affected Dina''s custody of Lexie. And the fact that the info probably came from Jacqueline and Dina didn''t want anyone to talk about it tells me there was some truth to it. So that''s my theory.

So on the RHWONJ FB fan page they think that Danielle used to have a "relationship" with Dina''s ex. Also that she gave the ex the number to CPS to try to "help" with his divorce case. Danielle even says on her blog that she gave a number (but doesn''t say to who). So that would make sense.

I worked in custom home building for quite some time, in fact owned half the business, Like rainwood said, Joe''s office reeked of everything, but high end custom homes. It does appear that Joe''s business may be that of a vendor or a supplier, not the builder. When the show first aired, I wondered how he was managing a thriving business in this economy, it didn''t add up. And then when wifey is paying in cash.!! Geez, it''s almost like calling attention to it all!!
