‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ season 5: Kathy Wakile teases ‘tough’ journey

Are you ready for “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 5 to premiere? You’re surely not the only one. The Bravo series has consistently been one of the most-successful that the network has put on over the years, and surely they are expecting the same success this time around when the show airs on Friday.

One change that will be present here almost from the get-go, though, is the possibility of seeing a little more harmony among some of the women. As for the reason why, you don’t really have to look any further than the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Speaking in a new interview with Out IN Jersey, Kathy Wakile teased a much different sort of dynamic coming up than anything that has been on the show thus far as the families focus on trying to rebuild together:

“I was definitely happy to see the page turn for some things … The season opens with Hurricane Sandy, and it was definitely tough. We signed up for this though; it’s our lives, it’s our families, and you need to document both the good and the bad. With Sandy, it’s the same things as rebuilding our families; we needed to rebuild and to get it to the splendor that it once was. you have to do the work. We put in a lot of work & it definitely wasn’t easy. Repairs of any kind, done on or off camera, need to be done.”

Are you happy at seeing the prospect of some of these women getting along, even though it is happening under more tragic circumstances? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below! Also, you can also check out a sneak peek for the new “Real Housewives of New Jersey” season over at the link here.
