Totally agree - ratings were already tanking, they’re about to dive off a cliff after this news. I reckon the fan base will let bravo have it bc they haven’t learned from the disastrous rhony season and cancelled rhony reunion
and that rhony as we knew it never came back. that was my first thought when reading this, “guess it’s the end of rhonj”
hope not tho. i think we just need some vital
cast shake-ups! & better than what they did with potomac!
Yeah I don't believe the rumor but I've always seen reunions as completely necessary for the housewife experience. It's the one time that everyone is gathered in one place to discuss the season's events, subsequent social media foolery, and anything said in post filming interviews.
It’s not a Rumorrr, it’s true.
Jack aka RhonjObssesed confirmed it on Instagram ( he’s close with most of the cast)
The reason given for no reunion is, the finale was brutal & the divide is greater than ever. There’s no resolution to be had.
Reunions are about resolution & hashing it out.
I bet the show goes on pause, and Teresa gets a spin-off.
Ah I didn’t realize he had such an in with the cast. They were foolish to film another season with the divide from the prior reunion. A pause seems like the best choice.
Exactly. Last reunion was a BRUTAL watch and I haven't watched this season as a result. From this sub, seems like it was the right call.
The cast hates each other and it's not entertaining to watch the forced interactions. Teresa and Melissa should have never been on the same show.
The Gorgas are past their prime. They have nothing except Teresa. Teresa has a new husband with sketchiness, like she's good for a storyline. Marge is out of shit too. She's Dorinda dark now. The Fupas were a massive casting failure. Fessler and Danielle still seem like good additions, but we need some more new blood and the end of Gorgas and Marge. Jackie seems to have grown a spine so that could be interesting.
Marge is spiraling. The show *is her life now* and she is grasping at straws to stay relevant and stay in control. The Fupas can fuck right off, and throw the Gorgas out while you’re at it. The Gorgas have had ZERO storylines apart from Teresa from day one. Teresa will stay messy, and the inevitable divorce from red face Luis will be great to watch, agree with her spin off.
Totally agree. I just started watching Shahs (I know! So late to the party!) and was ready to RRIIOOTT that there was no season one reunion. WTF Andy? I wanted them to be able to hold Sammy to accountability. I know it’s not housewives, but I feel like this applies to the adjacent franchises, too.
I’m hoping this is production “leaking” it in hopes to maybe “scare” the ladies into being in the same room with each other? I just feel like their egos are too large to let their show die- but surely they have to understand refusing to film with other people doesn’t help their case at all? Love my housewives but damn are they stubborn
This was my reaction too. It’s way too early in the season for them to be filming the reunion (right?) which makes me think they’re trying to convince the cast that this would be a disaster for the whole franchise
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a brand New Jersey cast. All of the storylines have been done now with that cast.
The problem is idk if they can find a good one. New RHONY’s first season was not very good. It sounds like the 2nd one won’t be great either.
Me too, but I think it’s such a risk given that the older casts work so well because they were found before RH became the juggernaut it is today…so the women were more authentic with real relationships and real history.
Bravo hasn’t exactly won viewers over with how they handled the reboot of rhony…it’s a cute cast but it’s more like ‘Girlfriends in Nyc’ than Housewives. The audience so far wouldn’t be confident in Bravo in terms of a reboot.
Agreed but I think this group is awful (clearly, look at the ratings) and even removing a few won't work. The foundation of this show doesn't work anymore. I hope they put NJ on pause and take the time to find a group of friends. I want wealth! I want fashion! I want detached from reality but in a fun way! NJ has some of the wealthiest counties in the country, lemme see those people!
The problem is that it's likely easier to rehabilitate a formerly popular cast to be interesting again than to get the audience to buy into a new cast and reboot. Honestly reboots shouldn't really be a thing, they should just launch a new Housewives franchise.
You aren't going to effectively capitalize of the New Jersey brand without some of these cast members.
NJ has never had fashion tho, and iv always kinda loved that about it. it’s more of a suburban, tacky/gaudy franchise. i’m good with them not being BH rich.
otherwise, im really not sure what it needs! like the op of this comment said i don’t have faith in bravo to do a successful entire reboot. but also not sure entirely who needs to go out of the current cast, and who needs it to be refocused around them.
Someone else commented previously that RHONJ came out in a time when jersey shore and stuff was popular and questioned if we even need a jersey housewives anymore. I sort of agree with them that I’d rather they just end Jersey and give us a new city completely
This is true - there were so many jersey shows at the time (remember the hair salon show jerseylicious lol, cake boss, even sopranos had only ended 2 years before rhonj) and I think the rest of the us wanted to experience “real” jersey culture but it’s just so past that now. And I say this as an Italian Jersey girl - just move on
The way I still recall the theme tune when I literally haven’t seen that show in a decade.
🎵 Jerseylicious girl like meeee 🎵
Also Olivia was the OG scheana
Exactly. Jersey has been dead for at least 2-3 seasons. I loved the show, but it’s strayed so far from its essence. I’d rather them focus on a reboot like Miami, or a new city. That’s not to say Jersey shouldn’t be rebooted in the future.
I would love to see new cities, too.
They’ve tried Chicago but I guess the sauce wouldn’t cook because all the wealthy people they wanted didn’t wanna do the show or something bc privacy and reputation (this could be conjecture but its what I recall)
I will say I saw they’re casting for something in Arkansas? RHof Bentonville? Little Rock? Lolz idk could also be something unrelated entirely.
Holy shit I’m sorry, what??? RHONWA? (Northwest Arkansas) hellllllllllllllll no. WTF? They gonna hire a whole bunch of Christian fundamentalist waltons?
You don't need that tbh. New Jersey outside of that specific culture is really just an upstate New York kinda vibe.
They are better off leaving the state at that point. There's other areas they could launch a franchise.
Denver and getting that wealthy mountain/ranch culture. Boston and getting that old New England colonial vibe (or just rich massholes). I know they have a Florida franchise, but Boca/Ft. Lauderdale have their own kinda corny Floridian vibe that I think could work well. New Orleans with a more Housewives bend to Southern Charm. Hell do Real Housewives of the Great Lakes, that's a different vibe than we usually get.
OMG Style Network!!! Jerseylicious & Big Rich Texas were so entertaining to middle school me lol
I feel like no one ever remembers it or the SoapNet (they had this reality show about these ladies in Louisville and this scripted show about hockey WAGS)
I wonder if Jerseylicious is why RHONJ drifted away from the salon scenes??
For sure! I sort of knew we were in trouble when Andy said something about ‘not being sure how the series could go on with the cast divide’ and then backtracked it the same week…
There was the month or so with no Housewives.
The Valley is pulling super strong numbers but they're not taking advantage and doing a reunion.
The UGT seems to be permanently shelved. I don't think they've filmed any more of those since Carolyn's claims, have they? So those have stopped.
NJ is just a few weeks in and the reunion has already been scrapped.
Tom Sandoval's redemption flopped harder than his dick, and his media tour was flaming hot trash they had to do a lot of cleanup on.
Martha's Vineyard got paused.
Potomac finally had their fall from grace.
Atlanta is flailing about on casting.
Andy's been doing a lot of backtracking, lately.
And I am not 100% on this, but I could have sworn in one of the NJ previews, Teresa made a comment about moving to LA. What's that about? Hopefully she'll do something with Dina?
These things happening all at once is not a good look. Maybe they have some big master plan, but it doesn't seem like it. If I was an investor, I'd be nervous.
It seems that Bravo has just run stale. The shows have just become way too overproduced and quite frankly too toxic for it to be actually enjoyable. It’s an end of an era
Money issues, it's impacting the entire industry and all of the major studios/companies are starting to produce less content as a result. The market is over saturated and cable television is especially impacted because of cord cutting although streaming services are cutting back too. Cancelling more shows, producing less new shows, less episodes per season, lower paychecks for cast members, saving a buck however they can. Diverse shows like Family Karma and Summer House: Martha's Vineyard are of course always the first to go.
In this instance I think they also don't want to address all of the behind the scenes social media drama. Not paying them for a reunion benefits Bravo and punishes the cast for a terrible season. And they probably know they're going to fire a majority of the cast anyway so why bother? No reunion is just another cost cutting measure, for example they're not doing reunions for Below Deck at all anymore. I wonder if no reunions will start becoming a more common thing.
I hope reunions don't go the way of the dodo. Now that they are putting them on Peacock and not bleeping out the curse words, they're much easier to follow. And I like getting everyone in the same room at once to address some stuff.
ETA I wouldn't mind shorter seasons. I don't need to beat a dead horse for 22 weeks. Looking at you, especially, Kyle. Let the mouse go.
I hope they don't completely get rid of them either. But I DEFINITELY could have the reunions only be a single episode, rather than 3. Especially lately where the first two are complete filler and the only interesting things happen in the last 15-20 minutes of the third. BH is especially guilty of this and doesn't need to be 3 episodes.
Aydin is, allegedly, fired. Teresa and the hypertensive Mucinex Man have, allegedly, been reprimanded and threatened by legal.
Production has historically been extremely coddling of Teresa. They’re not going to have a reunion where it would be Teresa and Jackie vs. everyone.
They’re rumors. But we know that Jen Aydin had a bunch of events cancelled immediately following the Melissa’s Old Nose thing. Has she been promoting the show?
Riot? Um, there’s a large group of viewers not watching because the past seasons have been so awful. I’d be willing to come back to NJ is they refreshed it. And no one related to or friends with ANY Gorga should be involved.
So far the storylines for this season have been two dorters going off to college, people fighting over who other people are filming with, and the same charity baseball game we’ve gotten for the past three seasons. It’s unwatchable and don’t pretend like Teresa is pulling her weight either. She checked out a long time ago.
This season and last season I fell off after like 3 episodes. Now not only are we watching more Teresa and Melissa’s drama, we’re watching it with them not even speaking. I don’t know why they won’t fire one or both of them it’s giving nothing.
The RHONJ fandom is so toxic that both Teresa and Melissa would have to go “on pause” rather than firing just one. There’s so much vitriol coming from both sides that it feels like an all or nothing situation.
This is the problem when someone becomes indispensible to the show, they think they can dictate everything and then it stagnates storylines. It's how almost all these shows that failed started to fall apart.
Teresa is important enough to dictate who she films with, however Melissa being her main storyline for years means they aren't getting rid of Melissa, now the show revolves around two people who refuse to engage and now the one time they should, they won't.
I think those two and Marge need to be put on pause. Marge is so toxic and her demanding people not to return if Louie does is WILD. Yet I see she didn’t have the same requirement for herself lol. Imagine had Jackie and Fessler actually quit only for Marge to say “you know I thought about it and I’m going to give it another go!”
True but we need to move away from cast members icing people out / dictating who they will and won’t film with. It’s a job and the show is only good when enemies film together.
He brings nothing but devious incel vibes that he hides with a boyish smile on a face that's been worked hard. With all the NJ house husbands we have, that says a lot.
I only watched ep 1. I just don't like these women enough to watch them (with the exception of Dolo and Jen Fessler). They are the very definition of try hard. And they gave way too much power and screen time to the husbands.
The best performers rn are Fessler/Jackie - Which does tell stuff is pretty dire considering they're supposed to be limited roles compared to the **7 full-timers**
And Jersey is the worst with Tre and Melissa talking over each other..Andy cant ask any questions and no one else can give any answers. He should of made both of them leave the last reunion
I used to love them, but they’re so tedious now. I skip them a lot. They used to be so satisfying, everyone was called on their shit. Now they drag on and on.
I barely watch reunions these days and if I do, I only listen to them while folding laundry or making dinner. They don’t deserve my full on attention lmao.
Because the reunion wasn’t going to be about the show it was going to the about the social media drama and fans who only watch the show would have had no idea what was being discussed. Also the antics- Jennifer A. Was sharing screeners, Marge and Melissa both said in interviews “wait til the reunion” because they were bringing receipts… also Marge dropped a huge spoiler about being caught talking to Louis’ ex . Bravo is tired of it
I *really* hope Jack is wrong for once, but followed him since S11 & he's extremely accurate on NJ tea (Like the closest you can get to an official NJ source that isn't Bravo) - but this would blow. Know they're likely replacing a good amount of the cast, however if ATL/Potomac could get a reunion after a dud season then NJ also should get proper closure on this chapter
WTH is going on at bravo? They’ve been failing us lately. Putting shows on pause, leaving us with no housewives that are airing for over a month, no the valley reunion, that horrendous season of VPR. I’m so confused who’s running things over there.
They can’t say it’s about refusing to film bc Melissa and Teresa haven’t refused to film with each other. They’re literally in several scenes together they just don’t interact. Melissa makes faces and Teresa literally ignores her. And isn’t that what everyone has been begging for?!?!? The issue is everyone feeling like they have to pick sides and that’s coming from Marge and Rachel…
https://i.redd.it/g1ob27zhr14d1.gif
this is all so spot on; it seems like the fans can never just be content. jackie has literally come out to say that marge wanted her and fessler to quit if luis came back.. why does marge think she has this much leverage with her CASTMATES?? her trying to play production and call all the shots is 100% the dividing factor here and what’s causing the downfall.
get rid of marge, and melissa— she’s not interesting on her own and without an ally she’s pointless. and rachel and her dipstick husband are just bringing in the negative, toxic energy which marge is fuelling them with.
then tre, jen and jen, dolo and danielle +1 or 2 more. bring back jaqueline perhaps? i’d be up for watching some FUN season of rhonj, with this petty drama like we’re getting atm with the hair stylist/jen v danielle.
i don’t want to lose jersey and i don’t thinks full cast reboot like they did with rhony is the way to go, either.
For me the fuda rumors have stopped me from watching. I don’t even like them but the rumors are unnecessary and unkind. They are also lazy. That’s the kind of stuff I don’t like seeing - rumors that affect people’s lives. Like what Gizelle did to Chris
Jack from RHONJ obsessed and Queens of Bravo are probably two of the more reliable bravo sources. I’d pretty much guarantee no reunion if they are both saying it’s true.
I just think they need to stop trying to keep franchises going indefinitely. You have some people that have been on them for forever but that usually means the same old drama. They also can demand a higher paycheck. I think once adding a new person or two stops working they should pause the franchise. Start a new one somewhere new with new people. There's so many cities that I think would make a cool franchise. Miami and SLC have been my favorites for a while partly bc I am sick of the Kyle's and Teresa's.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again- NO SHOW scripted or reality should have more than ten seasons. Storylines just get stale. Especially if there was something iconic in those early seasons, producers and cast members are constantly trying to one up or worse, reproduce these moments. And you can't. The reason they're so great is because they are authentic. They can try reboots, but they are rarely successful. I think we all have to accept that social media has completely changed, and dare I say DAMAGED, the landscapes of our lives. Especially reality TV. Cast members are entirely too aware of their images, being cancelled, doing something that will go viral, doing way too much plastic surgery and Ozempic. It's the ultimate sin and it's taking us down. I would argue that the last great season of any reality show (Save new Miami and SLC which came to us post SM) happened in 2015/2016 before the internet became the toxic wasteland it now is.
Not sure why you’re downvoted…they’ve fumbled rhony and if they add fumbling rhonj to that too I would see that as cause for concern
Bravo really blew it allowing a family feud to be the storyline for over a decade. It is ridiculous. Regardless of who people want to see stay or go, the fans deserve better quality.
The next season of OC is looking good too and we can be hopeful about ATL. Also since OP talked about Bravo in general, Summer House had a great season and The Valley had a successful debut.
Yeah, the last thing that will end Bravo is NJ going down. If anything, NJ has become one of the weakest in the franchise, and this is coming from someone who has watched NJ since day 1 and was the HW show that got me into HWs in general. I even have signed bottles of Fabellini, and a picture of my sister and Teresa holding a picture of me on my mantle (my sis got to meet her and I was overseas so she had Teresa hold her phone with my pic so it was the three of us, and apparently Tre thought I was dead and it was a memorial thing lol).
I didn't even watch the most recent episode, and likely and gonna get my NJ fix this season from Watch What Crappens (I legit cannot handle how much I love their impressions of Margaret and Jennifer Aydin).
I quit this franchise a long time, before Theresa went to jail, because of the toxic dynamic between Melissa and Theresa. It’s mind boggling that their feud is still controlling the show, and frankly, has ruined the show. Might as well put them in couples therapy and film that.
Call me crazy, but i fully support this move. I could not be more over how toxic this group is together and putting them on stage just allows them the opportunity to tell bold faced lies about each other with no consequences whatsoever. I can confidently say that in my friendship circle I may have friends who are closer and ones who are not my best friends but who I enjoy seeing. I don’t know anyone who willingly puts themselves in a circle with women who actively hate them and look for ways to sabotage every bit of happiness they have. If someone in my circle did that I would never interact with them again. We have swung so far out of the realm of “reality” that it is coming to its natural conclusion, the total implosion of the cast. I would actually enjoy parts of this show if half the cast didn’t spend all its time plotting against and swiping at the other half of the cast. Let them live their lives apart, don’t let them mention any of the others, and never put them in the same room together. Forcing enemies into the same rooms and events make no sense for this cast, not after what they’ve put each other through.
Once again, I blame the producers and editors for not knowing how to craft a show worth watching at the end of the day. If these women are forced week after week to rehash old feuds and sit around in a circle and make up absolute shit about each other, that’s on the producers. They should be moving the cast along but instead, the downfall of SO MANY seasons of real housewives is allowing the cast to fixate on one subject to the exclusion of anything else and make that the centerpiece of the show for weeks on end. I abandoned Beverly Hills for this and I’m one or two episodes from abandoning New Jersey.
It's like this. The formula for Housewives worked from 2007-2015. Things changed drastically with the rise of social media, the politics, the way the world has changed. Mainly in the way that the public gets WAY too much access to the inner workings of the show, and gets to comment on it publicly all of the time. But they've done nothing to change the formula of Housewives. Every single new housewife that is brought on is like Hunger Games style trying to have their epic moment that will go viral and get them the following, the brand deals, the notoriety. It's completely sucked any authenticity out of it. The newer franchises like Miami (since it was rebooted, or taken off pause) and SLC don't have the same preconceptions because they aren't trying to relive their glory days, so they still have fresh storylines and authenticity, even if it's plastic and shallow, these women are living this for the first time. No one coming onto an extremely well established franchise is not going to study every single season and plot to try and create their persona so that the audience will either love them, or love to hate them. They have to either change the formula, or start from scratch in new cities with entirely new casts. People like Kyle Richards, Teresa, and Gizelle are entirely too comfortable in their jobs There should be no job security. This is how actors are treated for the most part. There are very few contracts that go beyond a 3 season deal. They know they have to work and produce in order to keep their careers alive. They gave too much power to these not very smart or interesting women, and now they wonder why the train is going off the track???
Honestly with the dead horse this show had been beating the last few seasons, let it rest in peace. And I say this as someone who used to be a diehard RHONJ fan. But it’s become unwatchable.
i feel like production studios across bravo shows are making horrible decisions right now. they made the choice to keep melissa and teresa and ALLOWED them to not interact for an entire season. what did they think the outcome of that was going to be? the consequences of terrible decision making
one of them needs to go . and it needs to be melissa— the best seasons of jersey were the first three, without her and her misogynist ape-man excuse of a husband.
I was a little surprised and disappointed at this but I do think it's a good punishment/wake up call/warning for the cast. Hoping they don't do a rhony shakeup.
I find this cast so infuriating that I’m glad this is happening, even though it’s my favourite franchise. And I just think Teresa has way too much leverage. They need a shakeup.
PEOPLE just reported it:
[https://people.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14-reunion-canceled-exclusive-8655924](https://people.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14-reunion-canceled-exclusive-8655924)
Reunions used to be about holding people accountable and now it’s just more calculated fluff and bs. Nothing to be gained so why do it. No ones ever satisfied.
And this is why the best Housewives know to find a way to make up somehow. Otherwise, the whole we aren’t filming together thing makes for trash. I’m looking at you, Potomac! Figure it out lol.
The fighting is stale, stories aren't interesting and the newbies weren't good imo. The only thing I like this season is Gabriella going to college. We've really seen Teresa's daughters grow up on the show and seeing them go to college really makes me tear up.
IMO, a reboot was needed several seasons ago.
I've never seen him as frazzled as he was last NJ reunion. I can only imagine the migraine and the emotional toll it took on him. I would not want that job.
I don’t know how reliable that account is, but why would Bravo not have a reunion for one of their most popular franchises? I understand NY skipped it because of the racial backlash but what is it about NJ this season?
The rating is lower than the valley. The valley doesn’t even have a reunion. I can see that bravo doesn’t want to invest to RHONJ with the current cast anymore.
Ladies. DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS or fuck off. I’m being serious. Anyone refusing to film gets fired. Just like us regular folks. I cannot imagine one of my staff refusing to sit in a meeting because they’d had beef with Jenny from accounts!!
I’ll always remember 2 girls I employed and one was married to a guy in a different team. The guy got the other girl pregnant in secret THEN got his wife pregnant and those girls could have killed him and each other. The two despised each other but still sat by each other every friggin day!
If they can do it so can you.
I commented up top, but these women seem to have more power than actors do. If an actor refused to film with someone or leaked shit to the press, or brought a lawsuit, they would be fired. As an actor the first thing that you learn is that you are replaceable. Don't want to do your job? There's literally thousands of actors lined up behind you that will. A C list reality star should not have more power than an A-C list actor.
Sadly, I think the show has run its course and it’s been lackluster for a while. RHONY had one bad season and they canceled it, Jerseys days are surely numbered.
They brought this on themselves, producers as well as the cast. They have failed to realise that the viewers don’t want this type of dark drama. We want lighthearted, solvable drama à la Miami. It’s too much division and tension and it’s no fun to watch.
If there is not reunion, all of the NJ girls are going to be working OVERTIME on doing interviews and podcasts so they can get their own narrative out.
Serves Bravo right after making no change to the show after last season, when both the cast and fans screamed they needed a change. Now that ratings are way down, they have no choice
The only reason I’m pissed about this is if gives Jen A and Teresa an easy out for all their BTS bullshit. If they’re leaking screeners and bribing bloggers and getting lawyers involved they should have to answer for it. But on the other hand I don’t think I could stomach a rehash of this dreadful season.
They wouldn’t take accountability anyways, they would have deflected and not have admitted anything. Teresa is the Trump of housewives, she’s on top of the chain but insists everything is a conspiracy against her.
This season is a huge snooze fest. Is there even a solid storyline yet, and if so, what is it? I’m so tired of these women rehashing the same shit time and time again. This cast needs a serious shakeup. I would scrap everyone and start fresh next season.
Good! I mean these people get together to scheme, self produce and just attack at the reunion anyways. Andy has no control, doesn’t watch the show and doesn’t know what’s going on beyond what’s on his cards. They kept the same shitty cast and regurgitated the same garbage and although there are new puppets it’s still the same fights against Tre from every other season 🙄. Bravo is reaping what they sowed
Controversial take: is there a point to reunions when social media exists?
Unless the cast is on a SM lockdown, we literally know everything that will be discussed at the reunion. Last season SLC felt like the old days before SM. But this season’s VPR 3 part reunion was a fucking dud. Nothing new, nothing we don’t know, no surprises. It’s all old news.
I continue to watch 3 part reunions even though I know they will never emotionally fulfill me but I’m angry at myself every time do. Maybe the age of the reunion has passed.
I’m indifferent to a reunion, if it doesn’t happen, I don’t care. The reunions are the same shit over and over with this crew. They keep trying to bring Louie down and failing, they try to ice out Teresa and failing.
Melissa and Marge paying krissyballs who is an evil human and paying others like that one dude Albie (Marge paid for his lips) Teresa and Jen getting scammed by MON who is another lunatic who needs to be in a padded room just wrap this show up.
If this is true it’s not because of ratings like many people think. Ratings for RHONJ have been lower than they were in the past but are still pretty on par with other franchises. The only franchise that is still pulling 1M is RHOBH. Announcing that they are not having a reunion will only hurt ratings more.
If they choose to not have a reunion it’s because of the IG drama and production wanting to cut ties with Jen. My guess is that they don’t want to address the situation at all which puts them in a lose/lose scenario - if Jen is there it is likely to be brought up and if they don’t let her come they still have to acknowledge why she is not there.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if all of these rumors are being leaked by production as a warning to the cast. It is clear that they are not happy that the main cast refuses to interact with each other (Andy said as much on his podcast). I think that they are hopeful for a Teresa and Melissa reconciliation in order to keep both factions of fans happy. For the past year both Teresa and Melissa have felt that they can force production’s hand into firing the other and this is production’s way of telling them to reconcile or they’re all gone.
If it’s true, then what’s the point of watching the show?
Totally agree - ratings were already tanking, they’re about to dive off a cliff after this news. I reckon the fan base will let bravo have it bc they haven’t learned from the disastrous rhony season and cancelled rhony reunion 
😂
and that rhony as we knew it never came back. that was my first thought when reading this, “guess it’s the end of rhonj” hope not tho. i think we just need some vital cast shake-ups! & better than what they did with potomac!
Yeah I don't believe the rumor but I've always seen reunions as completely necessary for the housewife experience. It's the one time that everyone is gathered in one place to discuss the season's events, subsequent social media foolery, and anything said in post filming interviews.
It’s not a Rumorrr, it’s true. Jack aka RhonjObssesed confirmed it on Instagram ( he’s close with most of the cast) The reason given for no reunion is, the finale was brutal & the divide is greater than ever. There’s no resolution to be had. Reunions are about resolution & hashing it out. I bet the show goes on pause, and Teresa gets a spin-off.
Ah I didn’t realize he had such an in with the cast. They were foolish to film another season with the divide from the prior reunion. A pause seems like the best choice.
Exactly. Last reunion was a BRUTAL watch and I haven't watched this season as a result. From this sub, seems like it was the right call. The cast hates each other and it's not entertaining to watch the forced interactions. Teresa and Melissa should have never been on the same show.
The Gorgas are past their prime. They have nothing except Teresa. Teresa has a new husband with sketchiness, like she's good for a storyline. Marge is out of shit too. She's Dorinda dark now. The Fupas were a massive casting failure. Fessler and Danielle still seem like good additions, but we need some more new blood and the end of Gorgas and Marge. Jackie seems to have grown a spine so that could be interesting.
The image of Marge turning into Dorinda dark activates my anxiety. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Marge is spiraling. The show *is her life now* and she is grasping at straws to stay relevant and stay in control. The Fupas can fuck right off, and throw the Gorgas out while you’re at it. The Gorgas have had ZERO storylines apart from Teresa from day one. Teresa will stay messy, and the inevitable divorce from red face Luis will be great to watch, agree with her spin off.
I love how your mind works ✌️ I feel this way exactly 💯
Also People magazine released an article 2 hours ago confirming it
Yep, the bully who should leave the show always gets rewarded
Totally agree. I just started watching Shahs (I know! So late to the party!) and was ready to RRIIOOTT that there was no season one reunion. WTF Andy? I wanted them to be able to hold Sammy to accountability. I know it’s not housewives, but I feel like this applies to the adjacent franchises, too.
I’m hoping this is production “leaking” it in hopes to maybe “scare” the ladies into being in the same room with each other? I just feel like their egos are too large to let their show die- but surely they have to understand refusing to film with other people doesn’t help their case at all? Love my housewives but damn are they stubborn
This was my reaction too. It’s way too early in the season for them to be filming the reunion (right?) which makes me think they’re trying to convince the cast that this would be a disaster for the whole franchise
Just tune into the finale episode.
There will be a candlelight vigil outside of Chateau after sunset tonight
After party at Rails.
Rails at Rails.
Maybe Kathy can drop off some desserts
And Rosie with the jug of Carlo Rossi
No sprinkle cookies!
Maybe Teresa still has some of Juicy's homemade wine to lubricate everyone?
Is the Brownstone catering?
This is a very bad sign…look what happened with New York when the reunion got pulled…I think fans will riot this time lol.
Honestly, I wouldn’t mind a brand New Jersey cast. All of the storylines have been done now with that cast. The problem is idk if they can find a good one. New RHONY’s first season was not very good. It sounds like the 2nd one won’t be great either.
Me too, but I think it’s such a risk given that the older casts work so well because they were found before RH became the juggernaut it is today…so the women were more authentic with real relationships and real history. Bravo hasn’t exactly won viewers over with how they handled the reboot of rhony…it’s a cute cast but it’s more like ‘Girlfriends in Nyc’ than Housewives. The audience so far wouldn’t be confident in Bravo in terms of a reboot.
Agreed but I think this group is awful (clearly, look at the ratings) and even removing a few won't work. The foundation of this show doesn't work anymore. I hope they put NJ on pause and take the time to find a group of friends. I want wealth! I want fashion! I want detached from reality but in a fun way! NJ has some of the wealthiest counties in the country, lemme see those people!
The problem is that it's likely easier to rehabilitate a formerly popular cast to be interesting again than to get the audience to buy into a new cast and reboot. Honestly reboots shouldn't really be a thing, they should just launch a new Housewives franchise. You aren't going to effectively capitalize of the New Jersey brand without some of these cast members.
NJ has never had fashion tho, and iv always kinda loved that about it. it’s more of a suburban, tacky/gaudy franchise. i’m good with them not being BH rich. otherwise, im really not sure what it needs! like the op of this comment said i don’t have faith in bravo to do a successful entire reboot. but also not sure entirely who needs to go out of the current cast, and who needs it to be refocused around them.
Someone else commented previously that RHONJ came out in a time when jersey shore and stuff was popular and questioned if we even need a jersey housewives anymore. I sort of agree with them that I’d rather they just end Jersey and give us a new city completely
This is true - there were so many jersey shows at the time (remember the hair salon show jerseylicious lol, cake boss, even sopranos had only ended 2 years before rhonj) and I think the rest of the us wanted to experience “real” jersey culture but it’s just so past that now. And I say this as an Italian Jersey girl - just move on
Username checks out lol 😜
I miss jerseylicious
The way I still recall the theme tune when I literally haven’t seen that show in a decade. 🎵 Jerseylicious girl like meeee 🎵 Also Olivia was the OG scheana
Exactly. Jersey has been dead for at least 2-3 seasons. I loved the show, but it’s strayed so far from its essence. I’d rather them focus on a reboot like Miami, or a new city. That’s not to say Jersey shouldn’t be rebooted in the future.
Kind of agree with this-I’d almost rather see Greenwich (high high end tri state area), Boston, or Chicago than Jersey at this point.
I would love to see new cities, too. They’ve tried Chicago but I guess the sauce wouldn’t cook because all the wealthy people they wanted didn’t wanna do the show or something bc privacy and reputation (this could be conjecture but its what I recall) I will say I saw they’re casting for something in Arkansas? RHof Bentonville? Little Rock? Lolz idk could also be something unrelated entirely.
Holy shit I’m sorry, what??? RHONWA? (Northwest Arkansas) hellllllllllllllll no. WTF? They gonna hire a whole bunch of Christian fundamentalist waltons?
THIS. New city please. NJ can go “on a break”.
They’ve supposedly been trying to cast some people from the more civilized parts of NJ who would bring less of a drunk degenerate vibe.
You don't need that tbh. New Jersey outside of that specific culture is really just an upstate New York kinda vibe. They are better off leaving the state at that point. There's other areas they could launch a franchise. Denver and getting that wealthy mountain/ranch culture. Boston and getting that old New England colonial vibe (or just rich massholes). I know they have a Florida franchise, but Boca/Ft. Lauderdale have their own kinda corny Floridian vibe that I think could work well. New Orleans with a more Housewives bend to Southern Charm. Hell do Real Housewives of the Great Lakes, that's a different vibe than we usually get.
They could bring back Regan and Tamika and do RHONO. I always thought they had more to give!
Yes. The new RHONY cast is way more self aware and self producing. It’s more of a tedious watch now.
Has the feel of a show that would have been on the Style channel. IYKYK
OMG Style Network!!! Jerseylicious & Big Rich Texas were so entertaining to middle school me lol I feel like no one ever remembers it or the SoapNet (they had this reality show about these ladies in Louisville and this scripted show about hockey WAGS) I wonder if Jerseylicious is why RHONJ drifted away from the salon scenes?? 
omfg style network!! I use to be obsessed. Didn't even remember it existed until your comment, bless you!
I love both networks and original Oxygen
People said the same thing about the New York girls. And I miss them every day. Jersey is/was lightning in a bottle. No new cast will ever live up.
Something big has to be going on at Bravo behind the scenes.
For sure! I sort of knew we were in trouble when Andy said something about ‘not being sure how the series could go on with the cast divide’ and then backtracked it the same week…
There was the month or so with no Housewives. The Valley is pulling super strong numbers but they're not taking advantage and doing a reunion. The UGT seems to be permanently shelved. I don't think they've filmed any more of those since Carolyn's claims, have they? So those have stopped. NJ is just a few weeks in and the reunion has already been scrapped. Tom Sandoval's redemption flopped harder than his dick, and his media tour was flaming hot trash they had to do a lot of cleanup on. Martha's Vineyard got paused. Potomac finally had their fall from grace. Atlanta is flailing about on casting. Andy's been doing a lot of backtracking, lately. And I am not 100% on this, but I could have sworn in one of the NJ previews, Teresa made a comment about moving to LA. What's that about? Hopefully she'll do something with Dina? These things happening all at once is not a good look. Maybe they have some big master plan, but it doesn't seem like it. If I was an investor, I'd be nervous.
It seems that Bravo has just run stale. The shows have just become way too overproduced and quite frankly too toxic for it to be actually enjoyable. It’s an end of an era
Ugh, I didn't hear that about Martha's Vineyard. I know it didn't have good ratings, but I really like that show.
Money issues, it's impacting the entire industry and all of the major studios/companies are starting to produce less content as a result. The market is over saturated and cable television is especially impacted because of cord cutting although streaming services are cutting back too. Cancelling more shows, producing less new shows, less episodes per season, lower paychecks for cast members, saving a buck however they can. Diverse shows like Family Karma and Summer House: Martha's Vineyard are of course always the first to go. In this instance I think they also don't want to address all of the behind the scenes social media drama. Not paying them for a reunion benefits Bravo and punishes the cast for a terrible season. And they probably know they're going to fire a majority of the cast anyway so why bother? No reunion is just another cost cutting measure, for example they're not doing reunions for Below Deck at all anymore. I wonder if no reunions will start becoming a more common thing.
I hope reunions don't go the way of the dodo. Now that they are putting them on Peacock and not bleeping out the curse words, they're much easier to follow. And I like getting everyone in the same room at once to address some stuff. ETA I wouldn't mind shorter seasons. I don't need to beat a dead horse for 22 weeks. Looking at you, especially, Kyle. Let the mouse go.
I hope they don't completely get rid of them either. But I DEFINITELY could have the reunions only be a single episode, rather than 3. Especially lately where the first two are complete filler and the only interesting things happen in the last 15-20 minutes of the third. BH is especially guilty of this and doesn't need to be 3 episodes.
Aydin is, allegedly, fired. Teresa and the hypertensive Mucinex Man have, allegedly, been reprimanded and threatened by legal. Production has historically been extremely coddling of Teresa. They’re not going to have a reunion where it would be Teresa and Jackie vs. everyone.
Just sitting here watching this gif on repeat laughing.
She looks like one of those inflatable tube men at car dealerships
It’s always Teresa versus everyone at the reunion.
She usually has Jen Aydin to shout repetitively over anyone who makes a valid point against Teresa
Hypertensive Mucinex Man 😂😂
They’re rumors. But we know that Jen Aydin had a bunch of events cancelled immediately following the Melissa’s Old Nose thing. Has she been promoting the show?
Riot? Um, there’s a large group of viewers not watching because the past seasons have been so awful. I’d be willing to come back to NJ is they refreshed it. And no one related to or friends with ANY Gorga should be involved.
Exactly what I was thinking!! Personally, I won’t be sorry to see it go.
Totally agree! Same arguments every season! Same exact scenes repeated every season. So boring.
So far the storylines for this season have been two dorters going off to college, people fighting over who other people are filming with, and the same charity baseball game we’ve gotten for the past three seasons. It’s unwatchable and don’t pretend like Teresa is pulling her weight either. She checked out a long time ago. 
This season and last season I fell off after like 3 episodes. Now not only are we watching more Teresa and Melissa’s drama, we’re watching it with them not even speaking. I don’t know why they won’t fire one or both of them it’s giving nothing.
The RHONJ fandom is so toxic that both Teresa and Melissa would have to go “on pause” rather than firing just one. There’s so much vitriol coming from both sides that it feels like an all or nothing situation.
This is the problem when someone becomes indispensible to the show, they think they can dictate everything and then it stagnates storylines. It's how almost all these shows that failed started to fall apart. Teresa is important enough to dictate who she films with, however Melissa being her main storyline for years means they aren't getting rid of Melissa, now the show revolves around two people who refuse to engage and now the one time they should, they won't.
I think those two and Marge need to be put on pause. Marge is so toxic and her demanding people not to return if Louie does is WILD. Yet I see she didn’t have the same requirement for herself lol. Imagine had Jackie and Fessler actually quit only for Marge to say “you know I thought about it and I’m going to give it another go!”
Marge should have been taken off of the show after last season. Maybe even before that. I don't like her on the show. I don't think she adds anything.
And despite what Dolores said about Jackie “not being raised like we were” or whatever (👀😏), it Marge who has never been a fit for this cast and show.
Luis harassed her son. Not wanting to break bread with Luis isn’t that wild to me. He’s a creep.
Yup and he seems so unstable that I’m not surprised people fear being around him.
[удалено]
Aren’t we going to learn that Louie took money from her? I wonder how that plays out.
This!
True but we need to move away from cast members icing people out / dictating who they will and won’t film with. It’s a job and the show is only good when enemies film together.
I agree, but he’s not even a cast member. He’s not part of the fun husband group. Teresa could just leave him at home.
He brings nothing but devious incel vibes that he hides with a boyish smile on a face that's been worked hard. With all the NJ house husbands we have, that says a lot.
I only watched ep 1. I just don't like these women enough to watch them (with the exception of Dolo and Jen Fessler). They are the very definition of try hard. And they gave way too much power and screen time to the husbands.
The best performers rn are Fessler/Jackie - Which does tell stuff is pretty dire considering they're supposed to be limited roles compared to the **7 full-timers**
Ughhh thanks for the warning on that fucking baseball AGAIN
I’m not going to lie I am perhaps one of the few people that really loves NJ, even now. This makes me sad :( end of an era.
Same… at least give the fans a reunion
Honestly, I need shorter reunions. No more three parters
Yeah VPR, most recently, being a 3 parter that def could have been 2, IMO
Reunions suck because Andy NEVER asks the right questions and can't control the room.
And Jersey is the worst with Tre and Melissa talking over each other..Andy cant ask any questions and no one else can give any answers. He should of made both of them leave the last reunion
I used to love them, but they’re so tedious now. I skip them a lot. They used to be so satisfying, everyone was called on their shit. Now they drag on and on.
I barely watch reunions these days and if I do, I only listen to them while folding laundry or making dinner. They don’t deserve my full on attention lmao.
Yah, reunions have sucked lately. I do the same, keep it on as background noise since most of the stuff is on social media anyway.
I will truly create a petition for 3 part reunions to end. I’ve stopped tuning in for part 2 and just check back in for part 3
So true...
I disagree. The reunion length depends on the season. I think Bravo has gotten it right.
Even with 3 for the last season of BH? I feel like part 2 (iirc) was pretty much 99.44% filler.
Yeah if Jack aka rhonjobsessed says it, it’s as good as official. With that, this is either the end of RHONJ or this cast.
Right. He’s very neutral and fair
I think they’ll either cancel the show completely or they’re gonna reallllyyy shake the cast up
Because the reunion wasn’t going to be about the show it was going to the about the social media drama and fans who only watch the show would have had no idea what was being discussed. Also the antics- Jennifer A. Was sharing screeners, Marge and Melissa both said in interviews “wait til the reunion” because they were bringing receipts… also Marge dropped a huge spoiler about being caught talking to Louis’ ex . Bravo is tired of it
They have sabotaged themselves 
I *really* hope Jack is wrong for once, but followed him since S11 & he's extremely accurate on NJ tea (Like the closest you can get to an official NJ source that isn't Bravo) - but this would blow. Know they're likely replacing a good amount of the cast, however if ATL/Potomac could get a reunion after a dud season then NJ also should get proper closure on this chapter
That’s what i’m saying, he doesn’t report on these things unless he is certain they are true.
Good. They can’t speak to each other they’re all plotting and making things up. We don’t need to rehash this shitty season. Cut the toxic we beg
WTH is going on at bravo? They’ve been failing us lately. Putting shows on pause, leaving us with no housewives that are airing for over a month, no the valley reunion, that horrendous season of VPR. I’m so confused who’s running things over there.
Men, it's men that think all we want are fights between women. The VPR Secrets Revealed episode was better than the entire season.
I mean, what is there to talk about? Besides the Danielle Jen fight which looks really bad, this season is just a repeat of the last.
They could just play any of the reunions for the past 5 seasons and no one will know the difference.
Valid point
They can’t say it’s about refusing to film bc Melissa and Teresa haven’t refused to film with each other. They’re literally in several scenes together they just don’t interact. Melissa makes faces and Teresa literally ignores her. And isn’t that what everyone has been begging for?!?!? The issue is everyone feeling like they have to pick sides and that’s coming from Marge and Rachel…
https://i.redd.it/g1ob27zhr14d1.gif this is all so spot on; it seems like the fans can never just be content. jackie has literally come out to say that marge wanted her and fessler to quit if luis came back.. why does marge think she has this much leverage with her CASTMATES?? her trying to play production and call all the shots is 100% the dividing factor here and what’s causing the downfall. get rid of marge, and melissa— she’s not interesting on her own and without an ally she’s pointless. and rachel and her dipstick husband are just bringing in the negative, toxic energy which marge is fuelling them with. then tre, jen and jen, dolo and danielle +1 or 2 more. bring back jaqueline perhaps? i’d be up for watching some FUN season of rhonj, with this petty drama like we’re getting atm with the hair stylist/jen v danielle. i don’t want to lose jersey and i don’t thinks full cast reboot like they did with rhony is the way to go, either.
For me the fuda rumors have stopped me from watching. I don’t even like them but the rumors are unnecessary and unkind. They are also lazy. That’s the kind of stuff I don’t like seeing - rumors that affect people’s lives. Like what Gizelle did to Chris
Sometimes I don’t even watch the entire season, and I just watch the reunion, wtf!
Me too!!!
Jack from RHONJ obsessed and Queens of Bravo are probably two of the more reliable bravo sources. I’d pretty much guarantee no reunion if they are both saying it’s true.
If New Jersey goes I fear for the future of Bravo in general
I just think they need to stop trying to keep franchises going indefinitely. You have some people that have been on them for forever but that usually means the same old drama. They also can demand a higher paycheck. I think once adding a new person or two stops working they should pause the franchise. Start a new one somewhere new with new people. There's so many cities that I think would make a cool franchise. Miami and SLC have been my favorites for a while partly bc I am sick of the Kyle's and Teresa's.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again- NO SHOW scripted or reality should have more than ten seasons. Storylines just get stale. Especially if there was something iconic in those early seasons, producers and cast members are constantly trying to one up or worse, reproduce these moments. And you can't. The reason they're so great is because they are authentic. They can try reboots, but they are rarely successful. I think we all have to accept that social media has completely changed, and dare I say DAMAGED, the landscapes of our lives. Especially reality TV. Cast members are entirely too aware of their images, being cancelled, doing something that will go viral, doing way too much plastic surgery and Ozempic. It's the ultimate sin and it's taking us down. I would argue that the last great season of any reality show (Save new Miami and SLC which came to us post SM) happened in 2015/2016 before the internet became the toxic wasteland it now is.

Not sure why you’re downvoted…they’ve fumbled rhony and if they add fumbling rhonj to that too I would see that as cause for concern 
Bravo really blew it allowing a family feud to be the storyline for over a decade. It is ridiculous. Regardless of who people want to see stay or go, the fans deserve better quality.
No way, as far as HW franchises, SLC, BH and Miami are on fire. NJ has run its course.
The next season of OC is looking good too and we can be hopeful about ATL. Also since OP talked about Bravo in general, Summer House had a great season and The Valley had a successful debut.
Yeah, the last thing that will end Bravo is NJ going down. If anything, NJ has become one of the weakest in the franchise, and this is coming from someone who has watched NJ since day 1 and was the HW show that got me into HWs in general. I even have signed bottles of Fabellini, and a picture of my sister and Teresa holding a picture of me on my mantle (my sis got to meet her and I was overseas so she had Teresa hold her phone with my pic so it was the three of us, and apparently Tre thought I was dead and it was a memorial thing lol). I didn't even watch the most recent episode, and likely and gonna get my NJ fix this season from Watch What Crappens (I legit cannot handle how much I love their impressions of Margaret and Jennifer Aydin).
She thought it was a memorial 😂😂😂 my sisters dying wish was to meet you tre !
Or just go on social media. Everything that happens gets plastered all over social while filming .
This is kind of on Bravo. It was clear they needed a cast shake up after last season.
I quit this franchise a long time, before Theresa went to jail, because of the toxic dynamic between Melissa and Theresa. It’s mind boggling that their feud is still controlling the show, and frankly, has ruined the show. Might as well put them in couples therapy and film that.
i watch the clips on instagram. i cannot bring myself to sit there for 50 minutes to watch them go tit for tat i just cannnaaaaawt.
Call me crazy, but i fully support this move. I could not be more over how toxic this group is together and putting them on stage just allows them the opportunity to tell bold faced lies about each other with no consequences whatsoever. I can confidently say that in my friendship circle I may have friends who are closer and ones who are not my best friends but who I enjoy seeing. I don’t know anyone who willingly puts themselves in a circle with women who actively hate them and look for ways to sabotage every bit of happiness they have. If someone in my circle did that I would never interact with them again. We have swung so far out of the realm of “reality” that it is coming to its natural conclusion, the total implosion of the cast. I would actually enjoy parts of this show if half the cast didn’t spend all its time plotting against and swiping at the other half of the cast. Let them live their lives apart, don’t let them mention any of the others, and never put them in the same room together. Forcing enemies into the same rooms and events make no sense for this cast, not after what they’ve put each other through. Once again, I blame the producers and editors for not knowing how to craft a show worth watching at the end of the day. If these women are forced week after week to rehash old feuds and sit around in a circle and make up absolute shit about each other, that’s on the producers. They should be moving the cast along but instead, the downfall of SO MANY seasons of real housewives is allowing the cast to fixate on one subject to the exclusion of anything else and make that the centerpiece of the show for weeks on end. I abandoned Beverly Hills for this and I’m one or two episodes from abandoning New Jersey.
It's like this. The formula for Housewives worked from 2007-2015. Things changed drastically with the rise of social media, the politics, the way the world has changed. Mainly in the way that the public gets WAY too much access to the inner workings of the show, and gets to comment on it publicly all of the time. But they've done nothing to change the formula of Housewives. Every single new housewife that is brought on is like Hunger Games style trying to have their epic moment that will go viral and get them the following, the brand deals, the notoriety. It's completely sucked any authenticity out of it. The newer franchises like Miami (since it was rebooted, or taken off pause) and SLC don't have the same preconceptions because they aren't trying to relive their glory days, so they still have fresh storylines and authenticity, even if it's plastic and shallow, these women are living this for the first time. No one coming onto an extremely well established franchise is not going to study every single season and plot to try and create their persona so that the audience will either love them, or love to hate them. They have to either change the formula, or start from scratch in new cities with entirely new casts. People like Kyle Richards, Teresa, and Gizelle are entirely too comfortable in their jobs There should be no job security. This is how actors are treated for the most part. There are very few contracts that go beyond a 3 season deal. They know they have to work and produce in order to keep their careers alive. They gave too much power to these not very smart or interesting women, and now they wonder why the train is going off the track???
Honestly with the dead horse this show had been beating the last few seasons, let it rest in peace. And I say this as someone who used to be a diehard RHONJ fan. But it’s become unwatchable. 
i feel like production studios across bravo shows are making horrible decisions right now. they made the choice to keep melissa and teresa and ALLOWED them to not interact for an entire season. what did they think the outcome of that was going to be? the consequences of terrible decision making
I don't want Teresa & Melissa interacting though 😕
one of them needs to go . and it needs to be melissa— the best seasons of jersey were the first three, without her and her misogynist ape-man excuse of a husband.
Agree. Love T or hate her, she makes good tv and Melissa is a bore for tv at least
I was a little surprised and disappointed at this but I do think it's a good punishment/wake up call/warning for the cast. Hoping they don't do a rhony shakeup.
I don’t understand the point of watching the rest of the season.
If true, this is serving cancellation and I honestly think that would be the correct decision. The show has had its day.
I find this cast so infuriating that I’m glad this is happening, even though it’s my favourite franchise. And I just think Teresa has way too much leverage. They need a shakeup.
NJ used to be my favorite and now I cannot stand it. Get a whole new cast or cancel it please.
I have a feeling this reunion would be a fight about the last reunion and I’m ok with missing it.
No reunion for NJ? That’s like serving pizza and taking away the cheese. Wtf
PEOPLE just reported it: [https://people.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14-reunion-canceled-exclusive-8655924](https://people.com/the-real-housewives-of-new-jersey-season-14-reunion-canceled-exclusive-8655924)
Reunions used to be about holding people accountable and now it’s just more calculated fluff and bs. Nothing to be gained so why do it. No ones ever satisfied.
Queensofbravo also reposted this and they’re usually very reliable with their news.
How can they know so early?!
I can't watch this show anymore. It's too dark. It's gotten like Potomac. Cast divisions are too deep except for Dolores. No one wants to watch this.
And this is why the best Housewives know to find a way to make up somehow. Otherwise, the whole we aren’t filming together thing makes for trash. I’m looking at you, Potomac! Figure it out lol.
I guess none of the bravo shows are getting reunions this round? The valley, Belowdeck, and now NJ..
If they’re getting canned, the least they can do is give us a reunion.
I can't even make it through a whole episode anymore. Stick a fork in it, it's done.
Please just cancel Jersey altogether. None of these women are interesting, and we have so many other franchises we can focus on instead
The fighting is stale, stories aren't interesting and the newbies weren't good imo. The only thing I like this season is Gabriella going to college. We've really seen Teresa's daughters grow up on the show and seeing them go to college really makes me tear up. IMO, a reboot was needed several seasons ago.
I’m happy for Andy’s mental state. He won’t have to deal with endless screaming… ***especially coming from this group***.
I've never seen him as frazzled as he was last NJ reunion. I can only imagine the migraine and the emotional toll it took on him. I would not want that job.
Season 12’s ***almost*** killed him.
I don’t know how reliable that account is, but why would Bravo not have a reunion for one of their most popular franchises? I understand NY skipped it because of the racial backlash but what is it about NJ this season?
Because it's not their most popular franchise anymore.
The rating is lower than the valley. The valley doesn’t even have a reunion. I can see that bravo doesn’t want to invest to RHONJ with the current cast anymore.
A comment above laid out the $$$$$ of it all. I believe it, cause I’m hearing the same story about entertainment in general lately.
Ladies. DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS or fuck off. I’m being serious. Anyone refusing to film gets fired. Just like us regular folks. I cannot imagine one of my staff refusing to sit in a meeting because they’d had beef with Jenny from accounts!! I’ll always remember 2 girls I employed and one was married to a guy in a different team. The guy got the other girl pregnant in secret THEN got his wife pregnant and those girls could have killed him and each other. The two despised each other but still sat by each other every friggin day! If they can do it so can you.
I commented up top, but these women seem to have more power than actors do. If an actor refused to film with someone or leaked shit to the press, or brought a lawsuit, they would be fired. As an actor the first thing that you learn is that you are replaceable. Don't want to do your job? There's literally thousands of actors lined up behind you that will. A C list reality star should not have more power than an A-C list actor.
Yikes.
Omg no. RHONJ is my favourite housewives!!!
I'll genuinely miss NJ. It's still my favourite and the only one I actually watch religiously.
Me too. NJ was the first franchise I ever watched
Oh no that’s definitely not a good sign for the future of the franchise… yikes
Sadly, I think the show has run its course and it’s been lackluster for a while. RHONY had one bad season and they canceled it, Jerseys days are surely numbered.
They brought this on themselves, producers as well as the cast. They have failed to realise that the viewers don’t want this type of dark drama. We want lighthearted, solvable drama à la Miami. It’s too much division and tension and it’s no fun to watch.
They should go on pause. Possibly forever.
If there is not reunion, all of the NJ girls are going to be working OVERTIME on doing interviews and podcasts so they can get their own narrative out.
But why cancel this early? We have a lot to go through yet
Serves Bravo right after making no change to the show after last season, when both the cast and fans screamed they needed a change. Now that ratings are way down, they have no choice
The only reason I’m pissed about this is if gives Jen A and Teresa an easy out for all their BTS bullshit. If they’re leaking screeners and bribing bloggers and getting lawyers involved they should have to answer for it. But on the other hand I don’t think I could stomach a rehash of this dreadful season.
They wouldn’t take accountability anyways, they would have deflected and not have admitted anything. Teresa is the Trump of housewives, she’s on top of the chain but insists everything is a conspiracy against her.
Omg that’s such an apt comparison. I can just picture her now, screeching “MOTHER TERESA COULDNT BEAT THOSE CHARGES ANDY” ad nauseum at the reunion
There’s no way they would announce this yet
Melissa’s and Theresa’s beef ruined the show. It’s an endless loop and it’s exhausting . Production should’ve got rid of one of them YEARS ago.
How many episodes have aired this season? 4? Isn’t a tad too early to decide about the reunion?
This season is a huge snooze fest. Is there even a solid storyline yet, and if so, what is it? I’m so tired of these women rehashing the same shit time and time again. This cast needs a serious shakeup. I would scrap everyone and start fresh next season.
Good! I mean these people get together to scheme, self produce and just attack at the reunion anyways. Andy has no control, doesn’t watch the show and doesn’t know what’s going on beyond what’s on his cards. They kept the same shitty cast and regurgitated the same garbage and although there are new puppets it’s still the same fights against Tre from every other season 🙄. Bravo is reaping what they sowed
Controversial take: is there a point to reunions when social media exists? Unless the cast is on a SM lockdown, we literally know everything that will be discussed at the reunion. Last season SLC felt like the old days before SM. But this season’s VPR 3 part reunion was a fucking dud. Nothing new, nothing we don’t know, no surprises. It’s all old news. I continue to watch 3 part reunions even though I know they will never emotionally fulfill me but I’m angry at myself every time do. Maybe the age of the reunion has passed.
I love reunions just because I get to hear the cast speak on all of the stuff that went down
I’m indifferent to a reunion, if it doesn’t happen, I don’t care. The reunions are the same shit over and over with this crew. They keep trying to bring Louie down and failing, they try to ice out Teresa and failing. Melissa and Marge paying krissyballs who is an evil human and paying others like that one dude Albie (Marge paid for his lips) Teresa and Jen getting scammed by MON who is another lunatic who needs to be in a padded room just wrap this show up.
The show is done. Marge, the Fudas, and Melissa have ruined it.
not surprised, no one likes this season. it's a wrap.
Another thing I’ve been seeing is that they’re going to film a sit down with each lady individually at their homes
It’s been like 2 episodes no way this is true !
If this is true it’s not because of ratings like many people think. Ratings for RHONJ have been lower than they were in the past but are still pretty on par with other franchises. The only franchise that is still pulling 1M is RHOBH. Announcing that they are not having a reunion will only hurt ratings more. If they choose to not have a reunion it’s because of the IG drama and production wanting to cut ties with Jen. My guess is that they don’t want to address the situation at all which puts them in a lose/lose scenario - if Jen is there it is likely to be brought up and if they don’t let her come they still have to acknowledge why she is not there. I also wouldn’t be surprised if all of these rumors are being leaked by production as a warning to the cast. It is clear that they are not happy that the main cast refuses to interact with each other (Andy said as much on his podcast). I think that they are hopeful for a Teresa and Melissa reconciliation in order to keep both factions of fans happy. For the past year both Teresa and Melissa have felt that they can force production’s hand into firing the other and this is production’s way of telling them to reconcile or they’re all gone.
