Real Housewives of New Jersey Caroline and DanielleMONDAY, AUGUST 23
‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ (10PM, Bravo) season 2 finale
Could this be the last hurrah for Danielle? If those rumors that she’s been fired from the show are indeed true, she’s going out in true drama mama style tonight: a showdown with fierce mama Caroline. With the whole gang back from Italy — funny how people who’ve filed for bankruptcy could have afforded such a lavish vacay, no? — Caroline, Teresa and Jacqueline get together and vow that the next phase of their lives will be Danielle-free. But since no one has been able to make that happen so far, Caroline volunteers to have a sitdown with Ms. Staub. And while tables may not be flipped, and the words “prostitution whore” might not be uttered this time around, we still wouldn’t want to be the ones staring down the business end of Caroline’s harsh warning for Danielle.
