Are you ready to laugh and cry and scream and laugh again? Never fear, America's favorite reality show has returned!

In the second-season opener, Jeana's real-estate business thrives while her home life gets chaotic, and a provocatively dressed Jo attends a party at the Playboy Mansion, without an envious Slade. Yeah, that will turn out well.
