The Reason Why RHONJ Season 8 Has Fewer Episodes Compared To Other Housewives Series Revealed!

As you all probably know, The Real Housewives of New Jersey will only be getting twelve episodes this year, plus the reunion. Now, a source is spilling the tea and revealing the reason why RHONJ has fewer episodes this year compared to other Real Housewives series on Bravo.

“Production ran out of budget,” an inside source tells All Things Real Housewives. “They are wanting to start filming next season in March, so they can film the women during a different time of year.”

But that’s not the only reason this year is a short season: “The women also took two cast trips this season,” our insider explains. “That is why they ran out of their budget so quickly. But season nine will begin in March.”

Meanwhile, a second insider tells All Things Real Housewives that the season is short “because there is too much footage that they cannot use due to legal issues.”
