‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ reunion preview: Dina Manzo takes on Melissa Gorga

What is this? A rare preview for a “Real Housewives of New Jersey” episode that doesn’t primarily revolve around Teresa Giudice? It’s true! Well, sort of.

In a way, Teresa is still involved here thanks to Melissa Gorga joining the show, and Dina Manzo has some big opinions about whether or not she should have years ago, specifically while there was still animosity between her and her sister-in-law. Melissa claims that things were fine with the two when she started, and then the back-and-forth ultimately begins.

If we are being 100% honest here, then we have to admit that the only reason Melissa was probably hired was because of her relationship with Teresa, and that is what made her interesting to producers. She shouldn’t be penalized for having conflict, even if we did hate the show most of the time when she and Teresa were screaming at one other.

As for Dina, we understand why she went away when both Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita were on board. We respect that, but at the same time, you almost have to expect that regardless of who you are, these sort of issues always find a way to resurface here.
