Is ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ new tonight on Bravo?

For those of you who are looking for a new episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” on Bravo Sunday night, we come bearing some most-unfortunate news: There is not a new episode to be found, at least for this weekend.

In case you are wondering a reason why, it’s rather simple: Blame the Olympics. For at least this first weekend of the big event, Bravo understandably doesn’t want to run the risk of going up against some popular events. That is a lot of competition to contend with, and ratings in this era do matter and give the network something to rag about. It’s like the show is losing an episode off of its order based on there not being one tonight — it’s simply just being bumped now to another time.

As for what you can expect when the show does return to the air, there are a few things that we anticipate being in store for us. For one, there will be a chance to see how long Teresa Giudice and Jacqueline Laurita will keep the peace going between them. (Here’s a hint: It won’t be that long!) Also, some of Melissa’s children are going to have a very rare opportunity, and Siggy Flicker will take care of some matters relatively close to home.

Also, it just so happens that you could see some bonding between Teresa and Melissa for a change! After everything that they have been through, maybe some recent hardships will push them closer together.
