It was time for another New Jersey reunion as the ladies joined Andy Cohen at the Venetian in Garfield, NJ. Despite the season ending on a good note with feuds ending and confessions being made, there was still some tension as everyone came back together. The Gorgas and Giudice's revealed that they haven't seen each other all summer long, and something funky was going on between Teresa and Caroline. Here are the best moments of the night:

 

Teresa and Jacqueline's love affair

Last reunion, these two were sworn enemies, and Jacqueline especially wanted nothing to do with their friendship any longer. During the season, they ultimatley agreed to try and be comfortable existing in the same room, and to at least exchange niceties, but decided to take things to the next level in their relationship. They had this lovey-dovey, Lucy and Ethel thing going on that was such a contrast from Jacqueline accusing Teresa of knowing that her husband cheated on her. It's nice that they are friends again, but I feel like Jacqueline has her Teresa blinders on again, and she's gonna get burned. 

 

Teresa and Joe try (and FAIL) to prove they love gay people

Even since Danielle Staub called Joe out for using the f word, he and Teresa have been eagerly trying to convince the world that they love gay people - and tonight was no exception. When discussing his love for Rosie, he and Teresa brought up the gay couple that they are close to. Everything was all good, until Teresa exclaimed excitedly that she hangs out with the girl, and Joe hangs out with the boy. Andy, as well as the rest of America were very confused, until Teresa clarified that she was describing them by their gender roles. Ok thanks, for clearing that up for us Teresa - you're evolved enough to hang out with a gay couple, but not enough so you don't have to translate their behavior in a way that makes sense in your little brain. 

 

That whole conversation about genitals..

As we found out at the last reunion, although many people point fingers at Melissa for being a former dancer, but was actually little Joey who was the stripper! He's a self-admitted, very sexual man and is very touchy-feely, even with the man-folk. During his physical altercation, Joe Giudice claimed that Joe Gorga grabbed his nuts, and tonight, he admitted it. 

 

Then a viewer expressed her dismay in a letter, about Rich cupping Rosie's boobs and Kathy shrugged it off, starting that they were a very close knit family. And then IT happened.. To illustrate Kathy's point, Rosie groped Joe Gorga's penis (btw, he's her cousin) and declared it "big enough". GROSS! 

 

Teresa takes back her confession of wrongdoing

On the season finale, Teresa came this close (picture an inch) to admitting her part in the Melissa shaming that was going on, but tonight, she reneged. During the reunion, she admitted only to sticking around while people were talking about Melissa, but not to taking any part in trying to bring her down. Is anyone surprised? I don't think so. Especially since she said on national TV that she doesn't believe her husband cheated on her. How she got through that statement with  a straight face is beyond me! 

 

Teresa and Caroline go at it

When the season left off, Teresa and Caroline were actually getting along, but there was some kind of icky tension going on between them on on the reunion stage. Right from the beginning it was noticeable. Andy asked Teresa if she thought Caroline made a change from the horrible person she was last season, and although she said yes, it was a back handed compliment. She declared that no matter how old you are, you should always try to make change. If you know anything about the history between these two ladies, then you know that whenever Teresa wants to insult Caroline, she goes right to the old and fat comments. She was clearly trying to insult her. 

 

It turned out that Caroline was pissed that after the group trip, Teresa blogged that Caroline was miserable on the trip because she and Al fought the entire time. Teresa claimed that she "heard" that Al and Caroline were arguing, and she wrote about her to get back at Caroline for saying that she was less than genuine during the horse exercise. It looks like the battle between these two continues next week, but Dr. V made Teresa promise the group that she would try and do better and stop lashing out at people. 

 

Next week, it looks like things heat up as the reunion comes to a close and the ladies discuss touchy subjects. Stay tuned!
