At the end of clip #1 Melissa says, “You can’t make this shit up.” So true!

Wonder what they mean about Jackie's ulterior motives?  Is this why she gets fired?

There is a picture of Jackie and her kids at one of Tre's book signings.  Jackie said it was on her own social media?  I don't know.  Basically Tre accused her of being a stalker.

[Keywestclubkid]

what's with the faces T is making when Margret is talking? what has Margret ever done to T to get this kinda attitude?

The lighting director should be fired! Jennifer's face is half hidden in a shadow... Actually, they are all casting shadows, and I'm not someone who usually notices such things.

[BrindaWalsh]

Holy editing breaks.  I feel like they pieced this together sentence by sentence.

[nexxie]

Jennifer stole the camera from Margaret - Andy wasn’t speaking to her.

[Keywestclubkid]

If Andy says switching gears one more time I swear to god lol 

[nexxie]

Delores is Teresa’s guard dog - ready to bite and snarl at any moment.

[njbchlover]

Wow....the silent, awkward pause by Delores when Andy asked her if she liked Melissa....there's your answer right there!  

[Emmeline]

I think everyone looks really pretty except for Teresa.  That rose gold hair and dress just aren’t a good color with her skin tone.  

[pieinmyeye]

I missed something. What did Marge Sr. do? I know she had an affair, but that’s all I know.

I wouldn't .......hahahah god I loved that 

[BrindaWalsh]

Is anybody else just laughing at the sheer stupidity of this???  I mean we went from screaming about felonies  and table flips to screaming about sunsets and necklaces.  Good lord that was stupid.

[njbchlover]

I think that something really pissed off Teresa before the taping - she is exceptionally quiet, and looks very annoyed about something - not just what is happening on the show.

[whydoievencare]

Teresa is sitting on the couch, simmering.  Shooting daggers at Jackie, making faces every time she says anything.   The whole world must revolve about Teresa.  Jennifer is really trying hard to make her place in this show.

[Keywestclubkid]

T is a freaking Moron ... someone just make her stop talking ....shes a stalker? hahaha there is ONE random picture from 10 years ago and that makes her a stalker? and are you hungry? she can't think of a fucking single comeback without messing it up shes a MORON

Teresa can't even get the correct phrasing - "Are you hungry" when she should have been saying "Are you thirsty??".....geez - how much of a moron is she?

I think Jackie just secured her spot for next year - Teresa will need someone to fight with.  Problem is, Jackie is way too smart for Teresa, and just might win that war.

I think Teresa is a little too impressed with her own importance.  When she was saying "look around - do you see anyone still sitting here that crossed me?"  She should maybe give Jill Zarin a call and see how well that attitude worked for her.

[nexxie]

Tre keeps proving she’s a bully - ha!

[Keywestclubkid]

I am here for all of Jackie lol 

[dosodog]

I love The Jackie Show!  It's the greatest!

Teresa who?

[whydoievencare]

Teresa IS always and forever irrational.  She cannot understand analogies when they are applied to her to point out some failing on her part.  If someone does something to her and she does the same thing back, it's only the other person who is wrong.  She is incredibly limited mentally - has difficulty getting concepts - can never see the bigger picture - only sees situations in an emotional, personal way.  How can anyone deal rationally with someone like that?

[DivaLasVegas82]

Great reunion. This is the first time in years that a RHONJ reunion has kept me entertained.

I love Teresa, but I loved seeing Jackie giving it to her. Although I do believe Teresa's story about Jackie keeping tabs on her for years for the sake of getting on the show, Jackie is challenging Teresa in a way that Caroline, Jacqueline, Kathy, and even Melissa never could. Jackie is intelligent and knows how to fight with Teresa without getting hostile, so Teresa comes off looking like the irrational one. And Jackie doesn't seem the least bit worried about being put off the show for going against Teresa, so her finances must be quite secure.

[IntrovertRed]

Haven’t watched one full episode this season, but I’m bored and nothing else is on.  I am loving Jackie. Definite improvement over Siggy.  Finally someone who won’t bow down to St. Tre.  

[ghoulina]

The losers of part 1 were definitely Jennifer and Teresa.

Jennifer is STILL bitching about OK. She clearly did not feel any remorse, or learn anything, from the first time. I think that just proves what a true snob she is.

And I don't know why she's questioning Marge so hard about her relationship with Joe. It was wrong. Obviously. But it's in the past and they're clearly happy. Let it go.

And Teresa just came off so arrogant and ignorant. I ended up souring on Jackie a bit; but there's no denying that she can speak circles around Teresa. It's actually pretty amusing watching them go toe to toe. Teresa can't keep up so she reverts to insults and profanity. 

I thought it was hilarious when Tre said she thought Jennifer was like her, not realizing that's NOT a compliment. And Melissa just sat there, sagely nodding. Also, how hypocritical of Teresa to claim that Jackie isn't her type of person because she didn't speak to her sister. I laughed so hard.

But this show has really gone to her head. She doesn't even try to hide it anymore. And if the focus isn't on her, She just sits there with the most sour look on her face. I'm over it.

[DivaLasVegas82]

Line of the episode:

Teresa: Jackie has no compassionate. LMAO!!!

That's right up there with "ingredencees"

[Kdawg82]

Rain passing through and my DirecTV is pausing this sh**fest left and right to where it totally cut out the past 15 min. But I was enjoying this.  Tree hates that Jackie is a lawyer and has found success in life. Tree also looks bulked up and the dress is not doing her any favors. She keeps touching her hideous ponytail but we've all seen she can't go 10 seconds without stroking her extensions (even Gia called it out last season). The facial fillers are horrendous on Tree. She is making herself look so stupid and can't string together a sentence. Shes jealous of anyone with half a brain including Melissa.  I hate when Jennifer and Tree have to feed each other the word the other one is trying to think of. Two airheads who found the other half of their brain. Delores attempts to be kind of neutral but still loyal to Tree for some reason. 

*TEAM [CAMERA] LEFT SIDE COUCH*

[hoosier80]

OMG - I love Jackie.   Teresa sure as hell did NOT write any book.   She can barely speak coherently.  

Then the comment about throwing something, and wasn't Teresa still on probation?   SCORE.  Teresa is a FELON.  How does she get to sit so imperiously and in judgment of anyone else?

Teresa is intimidated.  Jackie was an attorney, clearly not stupid, knows how to argue rationally, and guessing Teresa barely got through school.  Teresa is all 'you are mean to me, how dare you!' Then she starts screaming, ranting, etc.  You're either adoring her or that puts you as an enemy.  

As for controlling your husband, why doesn't anyone ask Teresa why she didn't control Joe Guidice before he committed crimes?  If she controlled him, why did he have her sign those documents which landed HER in jail?  

Waiting for the day Teresa is booted from this show.

[Lady of nod]

"Aren't you on parole" !!!  Jackie I love you!

While that did make me laugh, it was the "I have no compassionate?" said with such amusement afterwards that made me really snort. It's like a cat playing with its prey, knowing full well that all it would take is one last smack to really knock it out but where's the fun in that?

I might add- 

As someone who waited an inordinate amount of time to get a copy of the "Fabulicious" cookbook by Tree signed by her at a Barnes & Noble a million years ago- I ALSO have a photo with my husband and Tree. We also gushed to her how she and Joe Gi were our "favorite couple on the show" & we "love watching them." I've also watched every season of this dumpster fire. Am *I* now a "stalker"???

I agree with Jackie- is Tree now name-calling and putting down anyone who attended her book signings? Us peons who have afforded her the lifestyle she now enjoys? Insulting is right! 

*Dodging y'all's rotten fruit being tossed at me now*🍐🍌🍅🍎🍉

[Kiki777]

I've changed my mind- I hope they never fire Teresa.  Her stupidity is fascinating and fun to watch.  She's like a crap-throwing monkey at the zoo.

And I really hope Jackie gets to stay.  If Teresa really had control of casting, Melissa wouldn't be on the show.  While I don't fully believe Jackie's story of the fan event, I seriously doubt she's been plotting all this time to get on the show.

I think Jackie is hungry and thirsty and I believe Theresa.  Jackie is a manipulator, has been studying Theresa for years and knows how to get to her.  Jackie is a mean girl and not someone I would trust in my life.  Theresa has a temper and will spout off about stuff but Jackie will cut a bitch.

They'd be crazy to fire her now.

The Marge and Jackie weren’t holding back, and I was loving it! Melissa even brought it towards the end there, too. Team Left Couch FTW! (Tv left).

Teresa is such a vile dullard. There’s no use even arguing with her because her pea brain can’t comprehend logic. I’m sad to see Delores is still sticking up for her. Jennifer is a non factor as far as I’m concerned. I certainly hope Bravo doesn’t subject us to another year of her tequila fueled tirades and unruly rugrats. 

Gawd I wish those photos of T holding hands with her 26 year old boy toy had emerged before this was taped!

I don't think Teresa was trying to put down her fans. I think she was trying to say Jackie clearly had been watching her for years. When Andy asked Jackie and Jennifer if they had any preconceived notions about the rest of the women before they came onto the show, Jennifer admitted that she did, but Jackie said she did not. Jackie acted as if the show was foreign to her when she had clearly been a fan for many years. I think Jackie came on the show with an agenda (like Teresa said) to be the first person to challenge Teresa's authority and not get kicked off the show. I think Jackie succeeded with her goal. I can definitely see her being invited back next season. However, as much as I like seeing Jackie give Teresa a run for her money, she is going to have to find another way to stay relevant. Since her sister is very private and most likely won't come on the show, what is Jackie's story going to be for next season other than fighting with Teresa?

I definitely think Jennifer is coming back. She provides too much drama not to return. I think Jackie was on the bubble until tonight.

I'm actually fine with all the women returning except Dolores. She should be a friend IMO.

[Gigi43]

I'm suspicious of Jackie but she had some good lines. 

I don't think Teresa was putting down people who come to her book signings fwiw. Just people who come for pictures then get on the show and act like they don't give a shit about her. She's a narcissist to begin with,  and that's a bit shifty to begin with so of course it collided. Jackie said in the beginning she didn't come on  with preconceived notions. Uh... how? Jennifer was at least honest.

Andy made some hilarious faces. I enjoyed his "it sounds like you are" when Jennifer said she wasn't bragging.

The ladies brought it!

While Melissa has feuded with Teresa on many occasions, she's shown that when push comes to shove, she will side with Teresa over the other women. Two seasons ago, Jacqueline was trying to get Melissa to come over to her side against Teresa, and Melissa left Jacqueline holding the bag because she chose Teresa. Same thing with Teresa and Kathy. Melissa chose Teresa.

And from Jackie.  Jennifer, you’ll get your turn you stupid fool. All she succeeded in doing was elevating Margaret so she got the other “coveted” next to Andy couch seat. 

If Teresa weren’t consistently so vile, I’d feel sorry for her being taken down by someone so much smarter than her.  But she is vile, so keep bringing it Jackie!

I wouldn't mind getting rid of Tree anyway. She didn't provide a storyline this year anyway besides body building and hanging with her intellectual equals (that's Jennifer & Danielle, FYI). Filming her life post- Joe's deportation (deportation WHORE!- sorry, couldn't control myself) would be in poor taste being that they have four children caught up in this. A big part of Tree's story has always been her home life with fambly. So it would have to be a Tree spinoff without kids shown & I'm NOT down with it.

I loved hate-watching the Manzo fools & I wonder how they'd get on with the new cast. I'd go for a cast shakeup keeping all current howives with Caroline in Tree's place.

I agree. Jackie acts like Teresa was a stranger when she had clearly had studied Teresa and the show for years. Jackie clearly wants to be the first person to successfully challenge Teresa and stay on the show. She came prepared to do battle with Teresa at the reunion...and she won IMO.

[breezy424]

Whoa.  Good reunion part one.  One of the best I've seen in years.

Team left couch.

Tre better watch her self importance on this show.  She didn't bring anything this season.  I couldn't care less about her body building contest or Miliana's rap song or her father.  It was delicious to see Jackie 'read' her.

Jennifer is just easy prey for Jackie and Marg.  It's fun to watch.

What the heck was that in Jen's head?  Was there one on each side?  From the family jewelry store?  And yeah, Jen, you're a one-upper.

[malibu]

I haven't been this excited by a reunion in years!  Literally on the edge of my seat with my heart racing!!!  Jackie is absolutely amazing.  There's no way Teresa would win a war of words with her since she can barely put two words together coherently.  I can't wait till next week. Team Left Couch FTW!!!
