The Real Housewives of New Jersey premiered last night with a huge return. Dina Manzo made her grand entrance back to RHONJ during last night's episode after departing the show during season two. 

Her arrival back to the Garden State shows a major cast makeover as original members Jacqueline Laurita, as well as Carolina Manzo have departed the series, with fellow cast member Kathy Wakile being downgraded to a recurring guest star.

Dina was reintroduced to viewers along with new costars Amber Marchese, and twins Teresa Aprea, and Nicole Napolitano.

The returning housewife sat down with E! News to talk about the new season, her sister, and wanting to join the Real Housewives of New York.

When asked if she set any ground rules for the network before rejoining the series, she jokingly said she didn't think that Bravo would have let her do that.

"We keep our lives open as it pertains to what you're going through," the reality star explains. "The one thing I didn't want to discuss-you'll see in the first episode I do like an eye roll when they ask me about my sister."

Dina has had a pretty public feud with her sister Caroline but she reveals that she is done talking about it, explaining the eye roll wasn't directed at her sister but rather the fact that she was asked about her.

"Don't ask me because I'm not going to talk about it," she says to the news site. "I didn't like being talked about when I wasn't on and I'm sure they wouldn't like it either."

"I'm just done talking about it. I think the more we talk about it in the press, the worse it's going to get," the RHONJ star continues. "I'm kind of done."

As far as how this season compares to other she said that it gets back to its season one roots.

"I really hope the people that stopped watching after a while-I hope they come back. It's-entertaining is the word because the new girls don't know how hysterical they are," Manzo reveals of her new cast members.

As far as a possible stint on one of the other Real Housewives franchises, Dina says she would love to switch to Real Housewives of New York.

"I actually asked Andy Cohen if I could-I have an apartment here in Manhattan and I'm in the Hamptons for the summer, so I'm like, "I should just switch over to New York," and he was like "No!" So I don't think the network would be down with that, but I think it would be amazing."
