Of course. Come on. You've been fast for the past 30 years and you expect us to believe you just woke up one day and thought 'PORTION CONTROL!' that youre JUST NOW getting it?

Yes Caroline DID have the lap band surgery.

What kind of mother would say to her daughter "I'm not going to tell her she's beautiful if she's overweight!". That is disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!! Shame on you Caroline Manzo !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Harsh words for a daughter to have to hear on national television! She should be ashamed of herself! Maybe instead of telling everyone else how they should act, she should listen to her own advice!

Ashley, get off the Internet and go look for a job.

I don't think any of the people on these show are supposed to appear likeable. That would make shows like this boring. No matter how these shows are edited the people appearing on them volunteer (or are paid) to do so. Not the nicest sociological comment on American culture, but I guess it is what it is.
