Renee Graziano, Drita D’avanzo, Big Ang and Natalie Guercio are back together for season 5 of VH1 Mob Wives. As with previous seasons, viewers can expect to see big changes – starting with Alicia DiMichele being out and Karen Gravano returning.

I have missed Karen…not because I have anything against The Philly Girls…but Karen’s exit was not explained and maybe it will never fully be explained. Nonetheless, her absence left a void in season 4 and I am really happy she is back!

Based on the trailers out there, season 5 may be the “come to Jesus” season for every one the show. Renee is wondering who she can trust and who is loyal to her. Big Ang seeks help and advice from Victoria Gotti (LOVE HER…I miss Growing Up Gotti) and a new Natalie becomes a factor. I am both excited and nervous for season 5.

Season 5 of VH1 Mob Wives starts tonight, 8pm cst.

This is the last Pick of the Week for 2014. It’s time to talk holiday gifts! Pick of the Week returns January 2015.
