Real Housewives of New Jersey Drama

I never intended to get hooked on the Real Housewives drama of any City, but I'll admit that I've been sucked in. From Orange County, Atlanta, New York, and New Jersey, to the upcoming D.C., the shows are filled with straight up drama. I like to avoid the drama in my own life, but for some reason it's entertaining when it comes to reality TV.
Now, why I chose to discuss the RH of New Jersey is because I am sick of the ongoing "Danielle" plot line. I am not the biggest fan of Danielle, and a lot of the complaints from the other Real Housewives are true, but a part of me does feel bad for her. The show revolves around everyone bashing her, and ganging up on her.
In this week's episode, I was disappointed that Danielle's one girlfriend, Kim G. betrayed her. Danielle trusted her, and she not only spilled her business, but she also brutally back stabbed her.
Again, Danielle has never been a favorite of mine. I still think it is pathetic that she calls her side-kick, Danny to help her handle every situation...but, let's face it...the girl is a mess. She has issue upon issue, and who doesn't?
But, what I am getting at is that I am so tired of that being the plot line of the entire show. At least in the other cities of the Real Housewives series, there are lots of things going on. That is not the case for RH of New Jersey.
I know that other characters, like Dena chose to leave the show...but for some reason, I don't think Danielle has that flexibility. In my opinion Danielle relies on the show for financial stability and in hopes of making her daughter's showbiz career dreams come true.
To my fellow, RH fans...any thoughts? Can you blame the fellow housewives for ganging up on her (especially with her past) or do you think she has been turned into a victim?

Aaaaaand.... They're off.


Well, that was quick. Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have called off their engagement. Yay?

Apparently, they're fairy-tale reunion quickly started to fall apart soon after then announced their re-engagement.

There were tales of infidelity (she claims he impregnated another young woman, that woman claims he's not the father.)

What do you think? Is this divine intervention, or should they have stuck it out? You decide.
