Melissa Gorga

Wednesday's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey reignited the feud between Teresa Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, and it looks like we're in for a season of backstabs between the brother and sister. 

If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online, you know the season premiere found Teresa opening up about Joe steering clear of their father in recent months, signaling that things were going south for the family. 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is back!

Wednesday's season premiere of the Bravo hit started the process of filling in the blanks for fans and set up the season's big villain: Danielle Staub. 

Kim D was back to stir the pot on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 15, and Teresa Giudice was not about to let her leave without throwing in her two cents. 

When you have a group as divided as the one on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it's difficult to imagine what will happen at the reunion. 

On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub assembled to break down their thoughts on the tumultuous season of drama. 

With the news that Siggy Flicker was quitting The Real Housewives of New Jersey, many many questioned what her final storyline would focus on. 

Unsurprisingly, The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 13 did not paint her in the best light, and the season concluded with the star looking like the rudest housewife in the history of the franchise. 

Siggy Flicker and Margaret Josephs are never going to be friends, and it's great for our viewing pleasure. 

When The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 11 got underway, we found out that Siggy decided to continue the trip because she allegedly wanted to be there for her friends. 

The ladies continued their trip to Milan on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 10, and it set the stage for one of the biggest bust-ups in the history of the entire series. 

When the episode got underway, the ladies made their way to Italy, and everyone seemed to think it was all about Margaret and Melissa's business trip.

Kim D. has got to be the woman the producers of The Real Housewives of New Jersey call in when they need to inject some drama back into the show. 

It's almost like they thought, "Darn, Danielle is not bringing the drama we thought she would. Could we get Kim D. back to stir the pot and fracture the friendships of the core women?"

Maybe Danielle Staub is back on the scene to get some revenge, after all, you guys. 

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season Season 8 Episode 8 picked up at the retreat at the moment Margaret was imitating Siggy's alter ego, Soggy.

Bravo's successful Real Housewives franchise has always aimed to bring high drama to viewers, but the drama is all based on whether the cast members want to bring it. 

Unfortunately, the current housewives on The Real Housewives of New Jersey are not working. On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 6, Teresa thought she was getting a break from the drama. 

Siggy Flicker does not miss a trick. 

That much became clear on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 5 when she continued to put Margaret on blast for everything that happened in Florida.
