After part two of Sunday’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey” reunion special, it’s crystal clear that Carolina Manzo, Melissa Gorga, Kathy Wakile and Jacqueline Laurita want nothing to do with fellow housewife Teresa Giudice for a very long time.

According to reports, all of the wives from season four have been asked back for another season. Producers, however, want Teresa to have a few more allies to balance the show.

We’ve thought of five women who have made several appearances on the series before.  Regardless of whether or not they like Teresa, we are pretty sure these ladies will add even more drama…if that’s possible.

1. Kim D

The woman behind the unpredictable Posche Fashion Show is always stirring the pot. Based on this season, we know her allegiance lies with Teresa and not Teresa’s sister-in-law, Melissa. The best part of Kim D… she claims to “play with the big boys.” Sounds like a good addition to us. 

2. Danielle Staub

Remember back in the day when all the wives hated one of their costars other than Teresa? Back in season one and two, Danielle was the main target and enemy. Tables were flipped, hair was pulled and the “prostitution whore” term was coined. What would happen if Danielle made a dramatic return? Would the wives befriend the controversial personality or would she be an outcast once again? 

3. Kim G

What happened to our favorite New Jersey neighbor? Kim G was friends with Danielle before their relationship came to a dramatic end. Later, Kim G tried to buddy up with Jacqueline that didn’t exactly last long. It appears Kim G struggles to make up her mind about whom she wants to be friends with. Changing relationships and allies sounds like a fantastic plot twist for next season.

4. Monica Chacon

If anyone wants Teresa to have another enemy, we have the wife for you. Remember when Monica came to Melissa’s party in season three? Teresa freaked out so much that she demanded the woman be removed from the house. Melissa politely agreed but clearly, viewers sensed Teresa could not handle being in the same room with the wife of a lawyer suing Teresa’s husband, Joe.

5. Dina Manzo

Once a fan favorite, Dina left the show early on because she couldn’t handle Danielle any longer. Today, the HGTV reality star is great friends with Teresa and estranged from Caroline. After making a brief appearance this season to support the launch of Teresa’s sparkling wine, it’s clear Dina is still open to having the Bravo cameras in her life. We will have to wait and see what Bravo has up their sleeves in the coming months.
