For those of you who have never watched the show I'll give you a little background. Basically it's a group of women that are all connected to the Mob or Mafia lifestyle in Staten Island New York.
Drita D'avanzo - married to Lee D'avanzo who is a bank robber and currently in jail
Carla Facciolo - her ex husband Joe Ferragamo was involved in the mob and just recently was released from prison. Her Father was also involved in the mob
Renee Graziano - daughter of Anthony Graziano who was a part of the Bonnano Crime family
and Karen Gravano - daughter of Sammy "the bull" Gravano who was an underboss of the Gambino Crime family who co-operated with the feds causing huge uproar.
These women were perfectly moulded from the reality tv gods and placed onto our television screens because they are pure entertainment. The first season was usual drama 4 fiesty Italian women getting into scuffles etc but the season left off with a huge explosion between long time friends Karen and Drita. In a nutshell Drita's now husband (who is in jail) Lee was Karen's ex boyfriend of 5 or so years and Drita never told her herself blah blah stupid.
ANYWAY season 2 has kicked off and there are 2 new faces Big Ang who has a dead uncle that was in the mob, looks like a man and who's voice sounds like gravel is trying to be the peacemaker but she is also hilariously funny and Ramona Rizzo who is Karen's "cousin" and probably aside from Karen and Renee has the most street cred with the mob to roll with this group. Her Grandfather was Benjamin "Lefty Guns" Ruggiero who was played by Al Pacino in the movie Donnie Brasco.
The drama between Karen and Drita has spilled over from last season into this season and already in the first episode there is a punch up. Reality tv gold I tell you. These are the kind of women you do not want to fuck with! Stay tuned I might write some episode recaps :)
