The last episode for season one opens up with Frankie and Gigi bowling at the Manville Lanes in NJ. If you’re from the area, you’ll know the most famous “Frank” once had his own chicken house in Manville.


Gigi is concerned about her upcoming two-year anniversary. She thinks that he’s not going to do anything special. We find out that he is, but like most women...

This week starts out with Anthony and Gigi in the backroom stocking the shelves or stealing supplies—I couldn’t really tell. Gayle approaches them about coming over to dinner at her place as a way to thank everyone for their hard work and the fact that they are still in the running for the cover of NJ Life, Health & Beauty magazine.

This week opens up with an inspired Tracy looking to expand her line of work. She wants to start doing hair for local designers to build her portfolio. Gigi agrees to help Tracy out and be her assistant if a local designer will give her a chance.

Jerseylicious Episode Recap: "I Don't Wanna Lose My Nails"

Had to watch this episode twice before I started writing a recap and pinch myself. If I didn’t watch it live, I would’ve thought my DVR recorded the bizarre-world version of Jerseylicious. Alexa didn’t say “glamfairy” 300 times, Anthony was pissed off and I saw Tracy and Olivia with subdued hair and makeup.

We begin episode #4 with the girls of Green Brook explaining to the staff (minus Olivia who is late once again and the surprisingly absent Alexa) about the cover story for New Jersey Life Health & Beauty (NJLHB) magazine. Gayle explains the importance of getting on the cover of the magazine and the benefit of the free publicity.

Jerseylicious Episode Recap: "Jersey Video Vixens"

Posted by Frank Ranu of Ranu's Reviews on April 6, 2010 at 1:04 AM Comments comments (1)

This week’s journey down Route 22 to Green Brook, NJ opens up with Olivia’s head up the Glam Fairy’s ass. Tracy is dead on when she is making fun of Olivia for kissing up to Alexa. Whispering “So pathetic” behind her back was pretty funny. Take it from one of NJ’s best ass kissers—she is making us all look bad. I would call her a brown-noser, but you really can’t distinguish between the b...

Jerseylicious Episode Recap: "Pain is Beauty"

We open up this week with Olivia getting ready for her first day of work. This girl must be a big game hunter because her closet is filled with tons of animal prints--it looks like she's been on safari almost as much as she's been inside a tanning salon.


Olivia is planning to finally move out of her ...
