Real Housewives of New Jersey May Be On Hold Until 2016

That's right. Currently it's just a rumor as there has been no official word from Bravo or the production house yet, but the show may be on hiatus for a while. The reason? Well obviously because it's biggest star is in prison.

Teresa Giudice has recently gone to prison to face her crimes that she committed with her husband. Luckily the judge was understanding and sent her and her husband at separate times to keep her family together. Unfortunately, they are unable to film her exploits in prison for the Real Housewives franchise, which is her main form of income.

I was completely certain that she would be welcomed back to the show in it's eighth season, but if the stories floating around the internet are true, the producers are worried if the show will survive that long. Season six, despite welcoming back fan favorite Dina Manzo, was one of the lowest rated seasons in the shows history. It only came to be popular again when the court case was shown on the air. They are considering putting the show on hold until Teresa is released (early by the way) in February of 2016.

Is this a good idea? I'm not sure. I mean I personally wouldn't watch the show without Teresa. The new trio were rather boring, and the best wives have been gone. Without the crazy antics of Teresa or even Danielle, the show really doesn't stand much of a chance to survive. On the down side, and entire year without the show can cause fans to lose interest, and a year is a long time for their lives to continue on off camera.

We will be watching the net for more information on this story to keep everyone informed.
