Teresa Giudice got to mix it up with some new friends and old pals during Season 2 of House of Villains. After The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom stepped into the House of Villains home, she was reunited with someone from her "family": The Real Housewives of Miami's Larsa Pippen, who joined the cast partway through filming.

"I loved it. We really bonded. I already knew her and we bonded even more," Teresa told The Daily Dish in a phone interview in late October. Noting that she and Larsa have a "sisterly bond," she couldn't help but love having another Bravoleb in the house: "So it was great having somebody from my family there."

Teresa added, "I think they [the cast] all felt threatened. They're like, 'We got to get the Housewives out.'

In fact, Larsa recently shared with E! News that she felt similarly happy vibes about being on House of VIllains with Teresa given just how close they are. 

"It was just so much fun being able to live in the same house with her and have coffee with her every morning," she said. "We definitely formed an alliance. We're really good friends. I didn't think I could make it without her in the house. I'm like, 'I can't be in this house without you, Teresa, so let's start playing. Let's start strategizing. Let's win and get all the way to the end!'
