When the fourth season of Real Housewives of New Jersey concluded, one thing was clear — none of the cast seemed to have any desire to socialize with Teresa Giudice. She appeared to put off everyone this season, including her former best friend Jacqueline Laurita and her cousin Kathy Wakile, which presented a huge problem for the show’s producers. How were they going to keep Teresa on the show if no one liked her? Should they add new “Team Teresa” cast members? Or should they just bring Danielle Staub back so Teresa once again becomes the lesser of two evils? According to two separate reports today, Bravo decided to do both!

So far on Real Housewives of New Jersy A LOT of tears have been spilled and screams have been hurled over who is or isn’t a stripper. It turns out one of them really was.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 Reunion Special has gone pretty much as expected, with nonstop screaming, lots of accusations about husbands cheating, death threats, bad singing, and concern about “the children.” Melissa Gorga even went as far as to say the reason she and husband Joe Gorga are selling their home (including the custom recording studio built for Melissa) is because they don’t want their children attending the same school as Teresa and Joe Giudice’s kids! Teresa took to her web site yesterday and addressed Melissa’s statement about not wanting their kids at the same school, as well as a number of other issues that have come up on the Reunion Special so far in a blog entry she titled “My Darling BEAUTIFUL Niece.”

Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s fourth season was filled with scandal including stripper claims, cheating accusations, and even a gay slur. However, according to what looks to be the transcript of an interview with one of the show’s former producers, what’s going on behind-the-scenes is even juicier than what’s airing.

Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga’s feud came to a head on last night’s Real Housewives of New Jersey. The two have been going at it for months now on the show and after Teresa allegedly set her up on the finale episode, Melissa has finally had enough and is ready to cut all ties with Teresa — especially now that her former boss has gone on record claiming Teresa had planned to ‘blow the whistle’ on her.

After reducing the price by $15,000 in April, the home is currently on the market for $520,00. The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars also have their Monteville Township estate on the market for $3.8 million which raises the question, are Melissa and Joe having money trouble?
