Real Housewives of New Jersey Cancels Reunion For the First Time — Andy Cohen Explains Why
They say it’s not a Real Housewives season without a reunion, but the current season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is about to test that theory.
For the first time in its 14 seasons, RHONJ’s season will not end with a reunion special, according to our sister site Deadline. With the cast reportedly feuding more than ever — longtime stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga are said to not be on speaking terms — Bravo is considering different ways to bring Season 14 to a close.
“There’s no way we can do a traditional reunion show,” a network source tells Deadline. “It will be a different format, and the production team is now looking at different concepts.”
Bravo personality Andy Cohen, who hosts all of the Real Housewives reunions, confirmed the news but downplayed the reports of cast tension, explaining to SiriusXM’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique that when he and the producers watched an early cut of the RHONJ season finale, “we all had the same thought, which is the finale is kind of the finale and the reunion all in one. It’s in the great tradition of absolute shocking, dramatic Jersey finales, and they have this final epic group encounter… It feels like the Last Supper and is just so Jersey. It’s shocking, and it’s dramatic, and it’s amazing TV. I’m telling you, when you see it, I think that you’ll feel complete.”
Season 14 of RHONJ currently airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo — and when it returns next season, we can expect the cast to get a major overhaul, the source hints to Deadline: “It’s very obvious they can’t go on like this.”
Do you think RHONJ needs to switch up the cast? Who would you get rid of? Hit the comments to make your voice heard!
get rid of Teresa already she is a horrific human.
Please remove Teresa. I have been watching since the first season. She has turned into a bitter, mean woman. She causes so much drama and I am tired of it. I love Melissa and Joe and will not watch the program if you remove them. I stopped watching the Housewives of New York because of the changes that were made so I will do the same if you remove Melissa and Joe. Teresa is not a nice person and she is bringing down the program.
I love love love Joe and Melissa!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. I too have watched since season 1 and each season she becomes more deplorable than the last.
Teresa for sure!!
After reading a lot of the comments Teresa is the one most viewers want gone. I’m surprised she lasted so long.
I stopped watching NY for the exact same reason!!! And I’m done with Jersey until Theresa, low life Louie, Jennifer and Jackie go!
Get rid of Melissa
My mother’s name was Beverly.
Where was I? Oh yeah: bring on Danielle’s brother and start a new family feud.
Yes please! I’m shocked that she has any fans at all. How blind can people be!
Teresa needs to go! She’s in a different world! No sense of fault! Shes ruining the show! Plus she needs to fire her plastic surgeon!
Cancelation of the reunion is just a start.
Proceed with canceling the series.
Enough with this garage TV.
Stop making these people famous and wealthy for nothing but trash.
Get rid of Theresa
Get rid of Theresa, sometimes the OG needs to go and it will remove so much toxicity. No one likes Louis anyway so it won’t be a big deal.
Get rid of Theresa & Jennifer. They add nothing but noise.
Margaret. Rachel and Melissa need to go!! This was the worst season ever and really we had to watch Margaret give her dog meds really?? Melissa just rolled her eyes all season or tried to impersonate people and Rachel is just mean and bring nothing to the show!
Absolutely agree with you 💯💯💯💯. I see there are a great amount of Melissa and Margaret “fans” on this comment section. 😂😂😂😂😂. Those two are the trouble makers including new comers fudas.
Agree
Magenta and Mellisa need to go .. they are trash and evil . I stopped watch it because of them
A New York reboot is the only way to go. If you get rid of Teresa then you lose half the viewers, if you get rid of Melissa or marg instead than you lose half the viewers. A whole new cast is the only way to go.
Should have been cut that cancer of Teresa years ago. Losing brain cells with her contradictions and no accountability. Now we got Ayden just as slow. Tell me I’m lying!!
Yes! Theresa wouldn’t know what accountability was if it reached and bit her in the behind. She will never admit to any wrongdoings. Maybe her IQ is just too low to understand how to be a quality human.
I thought you were going to say Teresa wouldn’t know what accountability was if it bit her in her already too puffed up lips! I get so distracted by those objects below her nose! Why do people think that looks attractive?! Well, I guess I know why her husband does ;-)… it’s hard to believe that she and Joe are actually progeny from the same parents! Joe is so normal and exudes a level of intelligence, time to time, lol, but this Teresa is just an empty filament in an old fashioned bulb on the line! Her negativity, and that divisiveness is just not what people need in the world at this time, or practically anytime. I don’t think Andy Cohen is going to like all these comments against Teresa because she’s his cash cow there!! I love Andy Cohen also! I’m missing Bravo in my cable so much, and catch video highlights on YouTube Bravo provides. After reading all the r h o n j articles in Google and reading all these comments, I’m really thinking about reinstalling Bravo and other cable channels. I miss his live show also.
Now onto Marg! Love love love her wit, accent and her point of view, which is simply her truth based on her perspective of her reality. Many may think she’s always in the kitchen over a big pot, stirring it over and over again, but there’s something about her with and timing that makes me want to have a drink with her and hang out!
Jennifer is just hangin on to Teresa and is doing all of her dirty work…she is just as bad as Teresa!!!
Rachel needs to go!
Melissa and Rachel. I say this because Melissa is using Rachel as her voice. Rachel has no valid reason ir her husband to hate Theressa!! They only been on two seasons. Clearly Melissa wants the divide.. encouraging Jackie to be ipset with Theresa.!.! Okay Theresa had a crush on Jackie’s husband 🤦🏾♀️🤷♀️ he is handsome man.😍
Theresa first and foremost, and her side kick Jennifer, she should of been gone yrs ago. Jackie to boring OUT !!!
Get rid of Teresa, she needs to go.like Rinna..she hasn’t changed her M.O. since the beginning of NJ housewives. It’s boring,not exciting to watch.same old Teresa, REPLACE HER !
Leave her in she is the whole show
Teresa needs to leave. She has served her purpose. As my fantastic GrandMother used to say – “After 3 days, fish and company begins to stink, and both needs to be thrown out”. After 13 or 14 years, she’s really ripe for pitching. Her story line is “sleeping with the fishes”, she plain has to go.
Bring back Real Housewives of Dallas
Too many housewives. Eliminate Margaret and Jennifer Aydin.
MARG AND MELISSA HAVE TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WILL NOT WATCH IF THEY COME BACK!!!
I completely agree with you. I won’t watch it either if Melissa and Margaret come back. None of those women have a story, they are all riding on Teresa coat tails. Scrub them all and keep Teresa.
Time for a fresh new cast. Replace them all. RHONY is so much better with a new cast. BRAVO is starting to feel stale. Replace all of Vanderpump rules as well. One thing great about below deck is all the new faces every season. The old ones are getting redundant.
Disappointing but it’s time to let Teresa go. Yes, she has been the face of the show, but she has never had real relationships with majority of the cast. Fire Teresa but Give her and her family a spin off like they did Kim Z. The Show will survive with Melissa & Friends.
Yes she needs to go but, I think a spinoff is a bad idea.
We have rewarded that low IQ felon long enough.
Yes I do think that they should have new cast …but there are some that I would love to see stay..
Get rid of had been T!!!!
I have been a fan since day one and for the first time (like a first for no reunion) I have stopped watching RHONJ. Teresa is my #1 reason. Im tired of her demanding so much from cast members yet gives nothing back! Hypicritical! But laughable at the same time cuz you can trip her up on sayings and word pronounciations 😆
Get rid of Teresa and Louie! Terrible humans and lousy tv.
Theresa and Louie are very bad for tv. They show how to be toxic people. There is no positivity with them she is dumb as a box of rocks and he is very sketchy at best there is no need for these 2 people on display.
Margaret and Melissa must go!! Also the two newbies, they are too young and stupid!! Theresa and her girls are the greatest part of the show. Without Theresa there is no New Jersey Housewives!!!!
I agree totally , keep Teresa and build new people around her(non family members). Let the rest of them go and move on.
Theresa, is a bad pill.
GET RID OF: Margaret, Melissa, Rachel, Danielle and add new housewives, thank you!
Margaret, Rachael and Melissa add nothing to the show😎
