The seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey ended this week when Part 2 of the reunion special came to an end, as Dolores Catania, Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker and Teresa Giudice got together to rehash and look back at the most memorable and intense moments from Season 7.
But have uou ever wondered what actually went down behind-the-scenes and what was not shown on television?
Find out five fun facts that went down during this season's reunion special courtesy via Bravo.
1. Melissa and Teresa shared a dressing room.
Not only is this the first reunion where the sisters-in-law sat on the same couch, but they even opted to share a green room together.
2. It was hard on Joe Gorga when Melissa became a Real Housewife.
This season we watched Joe struggle with the fact that Melissa wanted to work outside the home. During the reunion he revealed he had the same struggle when his wife joined RHONJ, because it took her away from the home.
3. Jacqueline clears up the rumors that she wasn't asked back for Season 6.
While some fans assume Jacqueline wasn't a Housewife last season because Bravo didn't want her to be, Jacqueline insisted that wasn't true. Andy Cohen also helped clear things up and said Jacqueline was asked back for Season 6, but she turned it down.
4. The Housewives aren't the only ones who get emotional.
When they played back the moment Teresa came home from prison, Andy Cohen started tearing up, along with people standing in the wings.
5. There is a lot of shushing.
The amount of times you see Andy telling the ladies to be quiet is nothing compared to how many times he actually mediates. It's almost impossible to keep count. But really, are you surprised?
