While I could not fathom how they could get more than a one episode reunion out of this season considering all the stuff they are not going to show between Margaret and Siggy, somehow production has managed to come up with two episodes. Oh Joy.
Andy Cohen is telling anyone who will listen that pre-prison Teresa is back on the reunion and he not be happier about that. He sure does love the felons, that one.
Here is what the PR says about the two episodes.
On Wednesday, January 17 at 9PM ET/PT the two-part reunion begins with Teresa’s brutal honesty about where her marriage stands today.
Teresa would not know brutal honesty if it bit her in the ass. Are we going to act surprised when she announces she is divorcing Joe? It’s not like Caroline Manzo didn’t predict every single thing that happened right down to the prison, the books, and the divorce several years ago. Always listen to Mama Manzo.
Next, tensions resurface as Margaret and Siggy look back on their rocky relationship, and for the first time since season two, Danielle returns for the reunion and gets candid with Teresa.
Danielle would not know candid if it bit her in the ass. Are we really going to have more of “Danielle the victim?” Seriously?
Afterwards, the ladies go head to head over “Cakegate,” and Melissa demands an apology from Siggy.
Just kill me now.
But the biggest shock comes when Kim D arrives on set, pushing Teresa to her limit.
Yes, give me Kim D and all of her true tea. Tell it, Kim D!
The reunion continues with part two on Wednesday, January 24 at 9PM ET/PT,
[Nancy Kerrigan] WHY?????WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????[Nancy Kerrigan]
with Teresa making a shocking claim about Kim D, which forces the ladies to choose sides.
What kind of shocking claim? If it is about the “revenge killings” that occurred in her son’s car, why would that cause anyone to choose sides? Is Teresa going to accuse her of plotting to drug and rape someone in her sex dungeon? Is she going to say Kim D. asked to lick her box? Is she going to accuse her of being a stripper? Is she going to accuse her of doing coke in the bathroom? Or maybe being anti-semetic? Cockroaches in her bathroom? Secretly using a surrogate to have her kids? WHAT IS LEFT TO ACCUSE SOMEONE OF AT THIS POINT?
Meanwhile, Dolores and Danielle face off over accusations thrown each other’s way.
Is this about Danielle’s sex in the bathroom of the pizza place? Dolores not really living with Frank? Frank’s recent disbarment? What?
Then, the whole cast revisits their epic trip to Italy, where one comment changed the dynamic of their friendships forever.
I hope everyone mentions Hitler. A lot. But wait, there’s more…
Following the two-part reunion, the network will air a “Reunion Secrets Revealed” special on Wednesday, January 31 at 9PM ET/PT, with funny and surprising never-before-seen moments from the ladies of the Garden State:a Gorga/Giudice Easter celebration gets completely out of control,
This sounds fascinating.
Margaret and Siggy show surprising BFF potential at a photo shoot,
Was this back when Siggy was properly medicated?
Danielle crosses the line in the Gorga’s Restaurant bathroom,
Didn’t we already see that? Do we need more information on this?
Gia reveals her true feelings about her dad returning home, and more.
Sure, let’s get a teenage girl who is essentially the head of household at the Giudice’s to go on TV and say on a show that her father watches in prison that she doesn’t want him to come back home. That’s not tragic at all.
I’m not sure we will survive this.
So, the first part of the reunion will end with Kim D. entering and they will make us wait for the good stuff for another week.
I just don’t see the big reveal on what is going on with Dolores and Siggy. So what I am really waiting for is that very long, very juicy post by TT on that matter (already hinted twice!). Just after episode 2 of the reunion! 😀
I really super don’t like Caroline Manzo but she was definitely not wrong about Teresa’s future.
I’m with you. Not a Caroline Manzo (or her family) fan, but she sure called it.
me 3 bout Caroline can’t stand her.
Siggy DOES owe Melissa a sincere apology for the way she treated a GUEST IN HER HOME. I still can’t believe she did that – even getting down on the floor.
I wonder what Caroline would have done.
But the most exciting thing I’m looking forward to is Ramona interrupting it with a phone call. LOL.
Caroline would have banished Siggy from her own home. Then the party could have gone on peacefully. Siggy would be outside one of the windows looking in. Look a new WLS!
Teresa claims that Kim D. Is a madam as in prostitution
Oh yeah, now I remember. So the women choose sides, pro madam or anti madam? Because whatever.
As long as Kim D pays taxes on that income…good for her. Otherwise, let’s burn her at the stake !
‘WHAT IS LEFT TO ACCUSE SOMEONE OF AT THIS POINT?’. Lol.
I’m so glad I don’t watch reunions.
Perfect recap. Just “Amen”.
Wait Frank’s disbarment????
Yeah, I probably should have posted about that. I forget the exact name of the charge but he was disbarred for misappropriation of client funds. My initial response was, “Frank is a lawyer?” At the time I was really busy with other things and decided I didn’t really care that much.
Holy shit! That’s not a tiny thing! Omg thanks TT!!
I am a longtime viewer of RHONY and Southern Charm. This was my first season of RHONJ, I could never get into the horrible hair and faces/make-up of previous seasons. That being said, I like Margaret, a lot. She added the ‘fabulosity’ as Melissa said, to this big haired group. I assume Siggy had to quit the show or lose her ‘self- help’ business. What self-help guru advises her audience if they don’t get along with someone, it’s okay to say ‘go fck yourself’???? I could just see people actually doing this at work – what a joke. I feel for the people who have paid thousands for her advice, to know see she herself needs intensive psycho therapy. Siggy always came head first at Margaret and Danielle, because they are the most street smart of the bunch, and able to smell her BS a mile away. They knew Siggy is a fake, and Siggy noticed. So Siggy screams ‘anti-semite’ (to me that’s actionable, as it can be ‘career ending’ to quote Margaret), just to throw Margaret off the scent or should I say stench. Bye bye Siggy.
Bravo always allows the housewives to pretend like it was their idea to leave. I don’t think anyone paid Siggy for relationship advice. If they did there is no hope for them.
Siggy’s website posted 10 events for 2017. Three of them with Delores talking about RHONJ in Boca of course. Her crying storyline choosing husband over work was a crock.
Dying laughing at that! Her ‘events’ in Boca were at the culture center at Mizner Park which is basically a room in a shopping center.
Mama Manzo was spot on about the Guidices … “You heard it here first and mark my words.” Gawd, how I love that woman!
Would you happen to know what season that was? I might go back and watch! I’m enjoying watching old seasons of all of these lately!
It was season 4, I believe the episode is called “Sit down and man up”. I remembered Caroline’s talking head but not all of the details. She had it down word for word what would happen…almost eerie.
I may be off here, but although Siggy was somewhat obnoxious in her over exuberant reactions to things, I didn’t dislike her. I believe she has a soft heart, and is very sensitive. She is also a child of a holocaust survivor, and for many that brings with it its own particular set of personality and other issues. Also, she didn’t seem to be a s..t stirred, or starter, but an over reactor for sure.
I feel that sometimes, she was set up by Melissa, Marge and Danielle. And I don’t think that Marge is as benign as she seems. Just the way she courted Theresa, Melissa and Danielle, and fought at the fashion show with that witch, Kim D, when she wasn’t really a part of that story…..I dunno…lol.
I wish Siggy would have just been honest with Marge and told her something like “I get the feeling that you have something against me, Marge so let’s back off a friendship until we can figure this out.” Perhaps that would have been more palatable to viewers than her silly immature reactions.
Please tell us what you know about Siggy and Dolores TT.
Pretty please! It sounds juicy.
Not to take anything away from Siggys father, but she acts as if he was interred in a camp-thank God he was not. He was saved by a priest and did not live in Germany during the war. My father was at a liberation of Dauchau (so?). He never had a peaceful nights sleep for the rest of his life. I admire him tremendously, but I feel Siggy used this to her benefit and create sympathy for her unreasonable reactions. Sorry, but that’s my perspective. With all due respect.
This. So this. When I hear “Holocaust Survivor”, I think the person being referenced lived in a Nazi occupied country or survived a concentration camp. The way she is using the term, anyone who was Jewish during Hitler’s time at the top would be considered a “Holocaust Survivor”. I read an article written by the son of a woman who survived a concentration camp. He said Siggy is misrepresenting her Father’s history and it belittles those who were forced to experience the horrors of the Holocaust first hand. I can’t find the article now, but I read it somewhere right after the episode aired where Marge referenced Hitler. (Btw, I get the point she was making. If you only judge someone by how they treat you and turn a blind eye to horrible things they do to others, you shouldn’t be surprised when you begin to loose relationships over it.

Sorry TT I’m commenting a lot today. I’m stuck on the couch with a boot on my foot and have nothing better to do. lol
Nancy, I agree with you. My husband’s Oma is a victim of that time period and she never complains about it or makes others feel sorry for her. She is one tough lady. She is now deaf because of the poor conditions of the work camp she was in as a child. She said her ears would hurt a lot in the winter, but there was no heat and no doctors (I know this is obvious because it was a work camp, not a daycare, but still) She was also separated from her entire family and only found a few siblings later in life. SHE does not even act like Siggy nor do any of our family members. Siggy is downright crazy and has no shame.
NancyintheSmokies I am so sorry that your Father has nightmares ,it is totally understandable why he would the horrible conditions he came upon it would be heartbreaking . Thank God for men like him that he was there to help.
Ok, wait. Revenge killing?
Huh?
Hola Tamara! Are you ever going to tell us what happened at the reunion regarding Margaret v. Siggy (& Dolores)? My understanding is something was ~revealed~ at the reunion, and I believe you mentioned that you learned something about the Sig and Dolores that had an impact on your opinion of them? Can you spill a little tea please? Thanks!
Allegedly, Siggy and Delores hired some social media hack to try and take down Margaret publicly.
Wow….I heard it was just the opposite. Marge hired someone and Siggy and Dolores dug up dirt and found this out.
I hope we find out the truth tonight, although will it really matter. Siggy is already gone.
TT, still laughing at the “what is left” comment. Too funny. Please feel better soon.
I just can’t with the men and the jewelry on this franchise. They remind me of wanna-be gangsters or henchmen/background characters in some random Scorsese movie.
My husband and I were at Shooters Tuesday night where the cake throwing episode happened.
It was a GORGEOUS night as we sat at the fire pit next to the table where the cake throwing episode happened.
It was 8oclock, in season and the restaurant was completely deserted except for both bar areas.
Siggy screaming she knew everyone there is such a crock.
In Siggy’s own mind she is the Best.the most educated.Sexiest and most Loveable .. Her Father seems so sweet and down to earth as compared to her.
So in Siggy’s world she is Famous She believes her own crock which makes it laughable .
I remember when the Houssewives franchises focused on the “life behind the gates.” Any drama that occurred was organic. Now these women are trying to ruin each other’s lives. Real lives. Children. Husbands. It’s not fun anymore.
Also, you have to be nuts or desperate for infamy (pretending it’s legitimate fame) to go on reality tv.
These people are desperately trying to keep this show afloat sucks it has been a sinking ship since the twins.
Siggy yelling to shut out Marg saying you are not educated to be a relationship expert .. I have heard she wasn’t a professional but Marg saying it out loud on tv was halrious.
I enjoy TT’s writting as much as the Comments. I end up laughing out loud here and there my husband giving me strange looks. he watches the shows with me. Tonight’s reunion was boring as hell. TT you are correct whatelse can they come up with the shows all run together .
At least the Little women shows have actual drama and stuff going on.
I am getting tired of New Jersey they need a major over haul or I am out. I will read the recaps
