UPDATE: I just got word from an exclusive source that Jacqueline and Kathy were asked to shoot some footage IN JULY while wearing WINTER CLOTHES. WTF is so crucial at the very end of editing that they needed those two to come do reshoots for? What possible reason could there be to get something in that could only be delivered by these two? I can’t think of anything these two would say or do that the couldn’t get one of the other TV desperate cast mates to do? Anyone have any idea? I sought out a source for this mindboggling answer. If I hear back I will let you know.
I hate being wrong. But being wrong about this is just unbearable. Remember when I promised you that Jac would not be back? There were all of these incredible stories floating around that Jac had been brought back to jazz up the season because it was boring and only she could save the show. TMZ was using the would “supercharge.” Since when is Jac Laurita, the wallpaper of RHONJ even mildly entertaining. Sure enough, Bravo is running a clip and there is Jac sitting there as if she never left in a damn talking head talking about Teresa!
I can’t.
I even checked with a source but looking back I think I asked the wrong questions. The rumors about her return complete with some astronomical salary were confusing. Filming ended long ago. I double checked to see if there was some new filming going on that would make this horrific idea a true possibility. I was told filming was done and the only thing that might still be filmed would be sentencing if that occurred during the time the show is airing. So maybe they would get Jacqueline and/or Caroline’s comments on Teresa going to the big house. Filming was over, no one had seen Jac on any sets, it was too early to be talking about next season. The rumor was bullshit.
But it’s not.
Jac sent Tre a text. Cameras have filmed at Jac’s house with her son (footage that I think may really have been done by Manzo’d With Children’s camera crew). We get to see Jac exploiting her autistic son again and trying to learn to cry real tears on command. It’s going to happen.
I’m not seeing how Jac can be involved in any of the “all in” scenes. Someone would have said that. Hell, Jac would have tweeted it out live. I presume she will maybe drop by to check on Teresa for a scene. I don’t know. To be honest I really don’t want to think about it. Up until this point my day had been going so well.
Sorry for getting your confidence up that we were done with her. Being wrong is such a new feeling! 🙂 We shall get through this trial together.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Holy crap I am looking skyward to see if pigs can fly!
Tamara you applied common sense – Bravo and Andy – not so much. How is Dina going to take this..didn’t Dina make a big pile of stink..she goes or I do not return?
Oh geez. Jacqueline and Dina don’t get along, do they?
No, and I don’t see Jac taping with anyone other that Kathy and Teresa and perhaps Melissa.

Well in that case, yaaaawwwwwnn
Remember why Dina hates Jac, she went after Dina and her charity using Lynn from Chicago.
Buck PUHLEASE don’t bring up bloggers dead or otherwise here. Being dead doesn’t make you less of a cuntbag.
Thanks.

This should be fun with Dina and Jac. UGH. Although frankly, Dina has been as boring as Jac this season, to me. All we have seen is her going on and on ad nauseum about Tommy, and hasn’t dated in 20 years, and and and… I wouldn’t mind seeing them both gone, to be real with you.
agree Dina was a snooze, but not surprised because she was like that in the first two seasons as well. i dont think it will be fun with dina and jac because dina has been saying that she would never do tv with her family again. so i doubt she would agree to even film with her
“Dina has been as boring as Jac “. If Jac is wallpaper, Dina is paint drying…
Perfect.
Perhaps Jac is organizing a #CannolisForAutismChallenge with Kathy.
That’s not funny. Making fun of autism. Hope Karma gets you for that one.
.
Im not comprehending why jac is back, she adds nothing to the show. If Dina’s return didnt spark mass ratings increase i dont know why jac needs to come back and no matter what she says she is definitely exploiting her son and that just disgust me.
Bravo needs to let this show sleep with the fishes. It’s time to call Willie Watkins, bury all of the story lines, and leave some flowers in the cemetery. Bring back the People’s Couch, an updated version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, or even Kathy Griffin’s Life on the D list-anything is better than Jacqueline. I don’t drink, but I’ll take double shot of Don Julio to keep my eyes from seeing this. Nooooooo
Jacqueline is better than Amber, the twins and Dina put together.
I have no words. Wait, yes I do. There is nothing that this woman could possibly bring to the table. Now she’s all matey with Teresa? Yes, she’ll be there for her friend, long as the cameras are rolling. Twat.
Bravo probably wanted to get Dina and Jacq in the same room together. Dina vetoed that idea, now it’s just Tre and Jacq. Didn’t they just film some final scenes recently about the Santa rumor? I guess this seasons ratings is calling for a lot of ‘re shoots’.
Where is my xanax??
Please have the beavers carry her off to where Danielle Staub resides. Why me Lord?
“The wallpaper of the RHONJ! Tamar, you are a genius with words!
Filming in July in winter gear? Lmao. It will be fun to watch their scenes knowing what absolute 100% bs it is. They (bravo) are idiots. I wonder if them knowing that this information is out if they will think twice about using the footage? Just kidding. I’m sure that they sit back in their executive chairs laughing and counting their money, as they boldly insult our intelligence over and over. I take back calling bravo idiots above. That would be us for still watching. No one to blame for this crap but ourselves.
Have you noticed all the snow in every scene so far? I imagine Jac and Kathy’s July scenes will be indoors with the air blaring.

I still can’t believe that Bravo would give Jac the satisfaction of crawling back to her to try to fix the show.
So much about that sentence I just wrote is perplexing. I still don’t think I am to the bottom of it. NONE of this makes sense. Never in the history of the world has Bravo have they added in different cast members AFTER THE ENTIRE SEASON HAS BEEN SHOT. Do they reshoot some scenes? sure. Do they shoot things after the fact and shove them back in, in early parts of the season, yes.
But this winter scenes in July stuff… This, is new.

have you seen the E online most favorite housewife of all, out of every HW Jac actually made it to the final 8 ! I don’t understand what is happening in the world of bravo
It’s beyond bizarre. I just don’t get how she could in any way, shape or form bring anything to the show that would warrant this AT ALL.
But come on, you must admit that the show is truly, madly, deeply boring this season. Who cares about the twins and the yelling one? They’re not all that interesting.
UGH.
It’s been on her Twitter all day..she’s been quite Twitterhappy today
Ugh!! I am so over that woman!
Well its has to be about an event that happened when was snow on the ground.
Maybe the Rino and Santa rumor since it was filmed in the winter.
??
It will fun watching the scene looking for something that tells us it is summer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! And @#[email protected]!!F!%*K*@ times a 100!
Wonder how much they paid that stupid woman to act the only way she knows how — stupid!
Am I the only person that likes Dina? I think she’s funny and refreshing. Jacqueline needs to keep her crazy ass home and focus on her son, paying her bills and obtaining sobriety over her twitter addiction.
This is very bad news. I remember how happy I was when I heard she was not coming back. Probably something to do with Teresa and the kids. If Teresa does go to jail (which I still don’t think she will), who is getting their kids? Joe and Melissa?
You’re not alone, I like Dina too — She is funny 🙂
Could it be that these are filler scenes to make it look like Jacq and Kathy were there all along? That way, at the reunion, when Teresa is NOT sitting on the couch, they can help answer viewer questions about Teresa and Joe?
Editing so far seems like they are sympathetic toward Teresa and Joe. Without Jacq and Kathy, the only ones they have left to defend them would be Melissa and Joe. Otherwise, I see Amber and Jim taking over the reunion as “experts” in the whole mess. And they will definitely not be sympathetic.
Or have they already filmed the reunion?
That’s the only thing I can think of…..
I’m really surprised Dingle hasn’t stopped by to comment.
Jim was not invited to the reunion which I believe filmed today.
I have not had a split second of time to verify that yet.

Teresa didn’t show for the reunion? I miss a day of reading the blogs and I’m lost on wth is going on!
I was just speculating. I thought maybe if they hadn’t shot the reunion yet, and Tre is about to be sentenced, she might not be at the reunion. That’s all. I was just guessing.
WOW! Jackie hate here is utterly overwhelming! This may as well have been a I Hate Jackie Club thread! Anyway, to each his own. Fine by me!
While I would not say that I am a fan, I don’t prefer Jackie over Dina, who happened to dump her relationships with at least two of her sibs and evidently is so angry with them that she refuses to appear with them, even attend her brother’s wedding, speak about them, acknowledge them, and yet she is about maintaining a Zen-like attitude and lifestyle, but she seems to respond to/comply with those who threaten to tell the truth about her (namely Jackie and her daughter). It’s very suspect. Frankly, I will look forward to Jackie’s reappearance and how BRAVO uses it; to at very least to note how Dina copes and accounts for her behavior/absence when Jackie returns, to see if anyone notes the contradiction that I referenced, AND who would address it with Dina.
Hm. I guess that I may dislike Dina more than Jackie after all.
I’m willing to bet Dina doesn’t even know that Jac was on the show. For some reason Jac and Kathy had to film something in a scene we will see soon, likely Sunday IN JULY. Filming was done. They never crossed paths.

In retrospect, I’m willing to bet that you’re dead on right, T. Heck, Dina may even have a line item in her contract, which stipulates that she will not encounter, film with, or interview about individuals known as A, B and C. Though I’d be torn about who to cheer for, what a ratings draw would a Dina-Jackie/Ashley face-to-face encounter be!
Hmm, maybe Bravo is using Jackie to sneak up on Dina at the reunion to cause some friction and spice things up a bit, since maybe Teresa won’t be around. They’re going to need someone to fill Tre’s empty seat next to Andy. Somehow I think she will be there although she may have to go straight home after as part of her punishment. You know I agree with you about Dina. How could someone who professes to be so Zen, be so unforgiving. It’s so opposite of a Zen mentality. I could see avoiding friction but Caroline (although I was not a fan of hers) seemed reasonable and able to talk through things. I’m dying to know her shit.
No, you were absolutely right….not wrong. At the time of your post Jac, the crack, was not filming or “coming” back to RHONJ. She is now….because Bravo is desperate.
Thanks Jillo but it STILL does not make sense why Jac is going to be on at all. IDGI?
I seriously think all of this was filmed by Manzo’d With Children producers and not RHONJ ones…

Why is Bravo THIS DESPERATE? I don’t hate Jac but certainly never thought of her as a major player or draw for the show. Wtf is going on with this show?
Are the ratings abysmal? What in the world would warrant bringing Jac or Kathy back? In my opinion, Jac was boring and the minute she exploited that kiddo–done–and yes, exploited. Kathy just seemed to flounder around looking for a way to become relevant. And now that I’ve said this, how in the world could either of them bring up ratings–hmmm.
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Ugh! I feel I am always late to the comments party cause the time difference! I am still trying to get my head around Jac being brought in so late in the game.
Oh Tamara, you promised we would not be assaulted with the return of JacLau. Make it go away please!
I’m sorry! I still don’t believe it even though it’s been confirmed. It just does not make any sense!!!!
I am feeling a disconnect! Did I watch Jac through a different camera lens? Is it because I’m from the town next door to these shenanigans on HONJ? Although I haven’t grown up with their particular brand of Jersey I’ve certainly frequented the (manzo) Brownstone back in the day. I see Jac as an ordinary woman trying her best to deal with her everyday life as a vanilla person in a world of a very colorful family and friends. Losing her friendship with Tre was a crushing blow to her fragile ego And heart. She just is who she is. Dina on the other hand pretty poised and polished as she may be is Not in the Zen state she professes which she clearly shows in her intro of “namaste bitches!” She probably thought it very clever but it’s very telling.
Angel, I thought production comes up with the tag lines?
It’s okay that you were wrong about the Jacqueline situation, Tamara. But, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t be wrong about the Nene situation! God, I don’t want to see her holding a peach. I can stomach a little bit of Jac, but Nene? Nada, zilch!
The Bravo website has a two minute preview of what’s to come this season and yes, Jacqueline is in it.
Is this some sort of 10th grade writing assignment where you are tasked with creating a main idea statement in one sentence summarizes blog posts? If so, your teacher will be pleased with this one.
I hate Jac but I would be happy to see her back on ONLY if it is to see her demise of going into bankruptcy or jail or anything along those lines…
