Week after week, the "Garden State" becomes the "Drama State" as tensions flare and tables going flying on Bravo's hit show, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now the spectacle is spilling over into Rachael's studio in New York City when Housewives stars Teresa Guidice and Caroline Manzo throw down in a "Rival Ray" challenge to see who makes the better meatballs!

"When people taste my meatballs, it's a little bit of heaven," proclaims Caroline, who says that the taste of her Mama Manzo's Miraculous Meatballs can stand on its own. "Teresa has to disguise her meatballs in her gravy," she says. "Not me - I'm commando. My meatballs are gonna kick your meatballs' butt!"

"Who eats a meatball without sauce?" wonders Teresa. "It doesn't exist!" This fiery housewife named her Joe's Juicy Meatballs after her husband Joe ("he's absolutely juicy and delicious"), and claims that her recipe is the best because it's made by a true Italian. "Caroline, she's as Italian as the Olive Garden!"

Rachael knows better than to get in the middle of a battle between these two women, so she calls in the cast of Jersey Boys to judge these Jersey girls! The four stars of the smash Broadway show explain what they will be looking for in the ladies' balls: "Flavor and consistency; deliciousness, texture, and beauty." Watch the video above to see which housewife wins the "Rival-Ray" challenge!
