Teresa Confronts Kelly Ripa, Dolo Has Hot Mic Moment & Andy Cohen Lays Out 4 Ways To Save RHONJ

RHOC is back in our lives!! We are here to break down all the gloriousness that was RHOC Season 18, Episode 1 this past week. From Shannon facing her DUI and Alexis Bellino head on to newbie Katie to Heather Durrow’s new Bev Hills mansion and all that was Tamra Judge, we discuss it all, scene by scene in one of the best, most brilliant return to form episodes of Housewives, well, ever. In a full circle moment, The OG of them all returns with real off again, on again friendships that have existed for over a decade, drama but not toxicity and a glimmer of hope that faith in the the entire multi city franchise can be restored in the next few months thanks to this season of RHOC. Finally, we chat this week in RHONJ - Tre on Kelly and Mark, Melissa’s reply to Chanel Ayan, Dolores’ hot mic moment and Andy Cohen’s vision for the four ways RHONJ can possibly move forward after what is about to be a very long…pause.

I don't think a Tre and Louie spin-off won't work. Too much has come out about Louie. On Dol, I don't think Paulie won't be around much longer.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Same

[@joannegrieco8523]

Team Melissa and Margaret

[@Leifdk1]

I would be happy to never have to see - and more importantly to have to listen to - Teresa ever again.

Same she’s horrific

[@joannegrieco8523]

Many O.G.'s who were thought to be "Too valuable " have been fired!!, Vicky, Ramona, Ne Ne, Kandi, Luann etc are Gone! More of us want melissa and margaret

[@daysinthesw9101]

And all of the shows are trash now. Ppl keep acting like #RHOC is about to be like S10 #PUMPRULES but the season premiere was trash.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

More of us? Who? Please don't place your thoughts on everyone else

[@joannegrieco8523]

@TheJaiNetwork more people who answer posts or wwhl polls want Melissa and Joe Gorga to stay on rhonj !Tersa fans are meaner and louder on soccer media but there are far more of that are team than especially after All the injustices from teresa and jen aydin! Technically Andy Cohen should fire teresa and jen aydin because they signed a legally binding contract to not send screaners and/or give away everything via spoilers

[@behindthevelvetrope]

We know

[@WhatFC]

I think that Bravo/Andy/production company hope that there will be some sort of shift over the next year that will help shape RHONJ's future. It seems to me we're seeing a lot less Louie this season.

Give Melissa a spin off so everyone can see how boring she is

Agree

[@virginiaschott4482]

Give Teresa her spin off, keep Melissa, and the rest, maybe bring on a few rotating friends of. I agree it would be a more rounded. I hate to see the husbands break up.

[@joannegrieco8523]

Teresa and louis are the biggest fakes there are!!! So why don't you like Dolores since you love teresa?

[@bydivadream]

David has literally said over and over he isn't a fan of anyone on RHONJ right now

[@carolroth440]

Maybe Andy Cohen needs to go on pause.

[@benbelzer8303]

Teresa is the queen 👑💖, and I hope a few of her real friends can join the show (I'm tired of Dolo and Jen). Teresa had a ton of women at her bachelorette party/bridal shower. She's always out with a ton of girlfriends, bring some of them on and have some fun like Tre, Jacqueline and Dina used to do! The drama will flow naturally if the friendships are genuine.

[@dorothyblack8904]

ABSOLUTELY

@@irenetsomidis2167 She's technically the longest, continuously, running OG Housewife of all-time. She's currently tied for number of seasons with Kandi (who wasn't an OG), but after this season if she remains for just one more season Teresa will be the Queen of Queens of Housewives History. 👑👑💃💖

[@TheJaiNetwork]

No matter what in my opinion they have to keep Teresa in some capacity and I am a tree hugger and I love Louis

[@ellenarendt3033]

I totally agree about DOLO. She is a mess!

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Beyond a bloody mess

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Very insecure woman

[@catherinewest6378]

I just wonder how much Tre costs them. Nene was also invited to all that stuff. Tre was a table flip schtick and she has Louis whereas Missy G has Joey. I think keeping Tre and Missy G is the most likely if the show goes on with any of the current cast. One thing I know for sure is that Jennifer Aydin is goneeee

[@travelseatsyellowlab]

Something I find interesting is that after the Reality TV Reckoning, Melissa represents reality TV of new, yet might no longer have a role on the show. Teresa, on the other hand, is of the old guard but could be the one to keep her job. That said, I don't know if the latter is who Bravo should hang their hats on. They'll need to recast within three seasons if the show is built around her, putting Bravo right back where they are currently. Plus, Teresa is aging fast. I personally don't believe she's a good long-term bet, but she is the most bankable face and name of the franchise. Bravo is going to milk this cash cow until there's nothing left.

[@JoannaU-i5i]

Teresa is getting Weird to look at and not interesting at all

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Hmm

[@carolroth440]

Teresa's story is plaid out.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

That's not sure at all it's just a story that they portrayed on the shell but she does a lot of interesting things that are not shown

[@bydivadream]

Dolo has always used her boyfriend as the Housewife... and the way that she feels above emotion and vulnerability is just reductive

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yea she bores me that Dolo Zzzz

Dolo plays it smart. She is simply in it for her coins. I don't blame her. However, she is certainly fake. If she comes back, I believe she will be in a friend-of role.

[@PT-tw6kg]

She a low class woman.

I think NJ is over. It’s beyond toxic.

[@kennethgillespie8351]

Maybe Dolo is bad for Paulie

[@behindthevelvetrope]

True

[@susandickerman4939]

Andy has a soft spot for Teresa. He kept her when she went to jail. Everyone blamed her husband. I personally think he was the fall guy. Anyway. That's my opinion. I think Jackie may be gone. I do not understand why she changed so much. For a smart girl. Dumb move.i can't stand Jennifer. But her husband is pretty cool. We shall all see.

[@Evyann305]

I think they convinced Joe Giudice to publicly take the blame to save Teresa's reputation so she can support her " dorters " with the Bravo paychecks. If Bravo didn't save Teresa that family would have been in Italy planning their next grift. Teresa dumped Joe Giudice real fast once he was down and couldn't make that dirty $ anymore. That woman only cares about $, and fame.

[@laurenspiridigliozzi1272]

I don't think Bravo could salvage this shit show. It's time to cancel the show.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

I would agree

[@MiaMixx]

They should give Teresa a spin off while they are working on the reboot, and call it "Keeping Up with Teresa" 😅

[@benbelzer8303]

😂🤣🤣, that's the thing They Can't Keep up with Teresa!!!! 😅 She even had her own reunion on her new pod in replacement of Jersey cancelling the other!! 😂
