Ep 16. Reunion Part 1

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 6 episode 16, Reunion Part 1, brings together all of the ladies from the season for a fiery, no-holds-barred reunion show. Hosted by Andy Cohen, the reunion is a chance for the women to air their grievances, apologize, and come to some sort of resolution for the drama that unfolded throughout the season.

The episode kicks off with a montage of some of the most explosive moments from the season, reminding viewers of the various scandals, fights, and betrayals that occurred. The women sit down on the couches, each with their own unique outfit and hairstyle, ready to dish.

The first topic of discussion is Amber's cancer diagnosis and how the other women reacted to it. Amber gets emotional as she talks about the support she received from some of the women, while others were skeptical of her story. Melissa defends herself for questioning whether Amber was really sick, saying that she was just trying to protect her own family from potential germs. Teresa jumps in, saying that she would never question someone's cancer diagnosis, given her own legal problems.

The conversation then turns to the infamous fight in Florida, where Nicole and Teresa's friend, Penny, were allegedly spreading rumors about Melissa's marriage. Melissa and Teresa both deny any involvement in the drama, but the other women aren't convinced. Dina and Jennice both confront Teresa about the way she treats her family, while Amber and Nicole continue to argue about who said what.

Next up, the ladies discuss the ongoing feud between Dina and Caroline, which began long before the season started filming. Dina insists that she has no interest in reconciling with Caroline, while the other women try to encourage them to make amends. Teresa and Melissa both share their own experiences with family drama, but it seems unlikely that Dina and Caroline will ever patch things up.

The conversation then shifts to the men of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, with the husbands joining the women on stage. Joe Gorga and Chris Laurita both admit that they got physical during the argument in Florida, but they insist that they've moved past it. Joe Giudice calls in from prison to say hello to his wife and the other ladies, and everyone cracks jokes about his upcoming deportation.

Throughout the episode, Andy tries to keep the women on track and address all of the issues that have been brought up throughout the season. However, as is often the case with reality TV reunions, things quickly devolve into shouting matches and finger-pointing.

Overall, Reunion Part 1 is a classic Real Housewives of New Jersey episode, full of drama, tears, and the occasional moment of levity. It's clear that the women still have a lot of issues to work out, but hopefully, the reunion will provide them with a chance to do just that.
