Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will hear Teresa Giudice whining during the first part of the reunion show on Bravo tonight because she realizes this is likely going to be her last reunion with the rest of the cast. But you better believe the network is pushing hard to get a little more out of her. Giudice is scheduled to report to a Connecticut prison camp Jan. 5, and Bravo is hoping she will be willing to have the channel film her last days leading up to her 15-month jail term. Reportedly, Giudice is open to the possibility ... but it will cost Bravo.

According to a report by Us Weekly, the network really wants footage of Giudice walking through her house for the last time and also physically preparing for prison by taking her hair extensions out. Bravo would also like to film what is likely to be the family's final Christmas together. Remember, once Gidice serves her sentence, then her husband, Joe Giudice, is scheduled to report to begin serving more than four years for his financial crimes. It seems likely that upon his release Joe Giudice will be deported back to Italy — a place where his wife is already refusing to live.

Do you think Teresa Giudice is thinking clearly by even considering to allow the cameras to share her final moments with her family, or at this point is she simply functioning as a businesswoman and breadwinner? She knows she will be gone for 15 months and Joe Giudice does not seem to do anything to provide for the family at this point, so maybe another fistful of cash from Bravo is her way of making sure her daughters are financially cared for.

Will you tune in to watch the Giudices's final days together if the network is able to strike a deal? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
