Cast and synopsis

"Well, I'm asked back pretty much every year to be honest with you. It never felt right. This year, it kind of felt right between the changes going on in my life, and Teresa [Giudice] and I have organically gotten closer this past summer because of what she's going through... We became close friends again, hanging out, and it organically just happened. And they asked me last-minute. I came in last-minute."
