Teresa vs Melissa - Who is Most Likely To Go After This Toxic Season of RHONJ

Shannen Doherty has passed away. Having met Shannen many multiple times, we share our thoughts, stories and send condolences to Shannen’s family. Icon, Trailblazer and Fearless. For anyone who listened to her Podcast every week, a fighter up til the end.
In other news, Jax Taylor claims to have slept with both Ramona The Singer Stinger and Brandi Glanville, Brandi claps back and The Valley prepares to begin production on Season Two later this summer. RHOC has returned with a stellar episode, an Alexis vs Shannon smackdown months in the making and ratings that, unfortunately, are not great causing us to ask, “if the beginning of the end of Housewives” is really finally here. Finally, details are spilled on the alternate RHONJ reunion set to film tomorrow, the new RHONJ episode that drops in a few hours and Andy Cohen's four different plans for how RHONJ can proceed after a low rated, toxic AF season which we break down and discuss.

Notice how quiet Luis is?? But he’s still there watching his cash cow

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yup

[@TheJaiNetwork]

Luis makes his own money unlike Joe Gorga who has no job. Melissa is the cash cow if any of them are. Literally, Joe Gorga's main job is RHONJ. How embarrassing

[@newtexan1]

This past episode SUCKED. Teresa on screen was SO boring. Teresa was SO unwatchable.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Awful I agree

[@proudmom2027]

ok 1 episode, verses Melissa's many episode that are boring!

[@newtexan1]

@@proudmom2027 I’m not saying Melissa isn’t boring. She’s sort of like filler content sometimes. But Teresa isn’t likable and she definitely isn’t the show.

[@proudmom2027]

@@newtexan1 That's your opinion about Teresa , She has kept me interested & entertained since Season 1 of RHONJ.

[@newtexan1]

@@proudmom2027 well your standards are pretty low then. Teresa’s an actual felon. Her true colors have come out over the course of the past 3 years and everyone can see it. She can’t hide behind the “squeaky voice & playing dumb attitude” anymore. She’s not a good person.

[@tinabop187]

I saw an interview with Teresa and Hora Kotb on the Today Show. It bothered me tha Teresa said RHONJ was 'her show'. When Vicki Gunvalson said that at the reunion, we see what happened to her.

It is the Teresa show lol. Where you been??😂😂😂

[@meredomack889]

@jbland7737Not according to half the comments!

Truth hurts. The whole show was built around Teresa.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

@@meredomack889ppl conveniently forget. Everyone on the show is tied to Teresa in some capacity.

Bravo won't miss either of you two lol. So bye to both of you!!!

[@kerricollins5363]

lol I feel the exact opposite. I’m neutral to Melissa staying or leaving but I’m sick of Joe. I like Teresa! Get rid of Marge and Rachel!

[@jessicahebert6063]

I also feel opposite. Theresa started the show and should end the show.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

I've already stopped watching because of the Gorga's and the ratings have plummeted already

Me too. Melissa is such a snoozefest. I truly hope this is her last season.

[@susyjorge1865]

I don't mind Melissa. But, I think if you remove her from any of the group scenes, then the story line continues. IMO, this season proves she's irrelevant. I don't mean that as an insult, I really don't think she brings that much to the show.

[@txkitkat1307]

I agree 100% that it’s the beginning of the end …

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yup bye bye

[@benbelzer8303]

And by the way, I really hope they film around the holidays next time. I'm personally tired of the Jersey Shore and beach vibe.

[@mariawahl2243]

David, I’m afraid you will regret listening to Melissa’s old nose! You are one of my faves and I’m sad that you bought into her stories whether it’s true or not!

[@behindthevelvetrope]

She’s cool

[@johngutierrez6454]

Sad to say it's Teresa's show but if you get rid of Melissa no more Joe and he's the center of the husband's. So good luck

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ok

[@holdmyhand2009]

that's why melissa stays with joe, because it keeps her on the show. if they weren't on the show anymore, their marriage would finish pretty quickly imho

[@jbland7737]

​@@holdmyhand2009 Couldn't agree more. Melissa clearly is not into Joe Gorga. It's so obvious.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

Danielle Cabral has no story without Jennifer Ayden. Jennifer Ayden has literally been the cause of Danielle's most watched scenes.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ok

[@tanyapollar3931]

I don’t know why they would get rid of Melissa and she didn’t do anything to get rid of her for. To keep Teressa who use bloggers like private detectives and info about the show. That makes no sense to me. That means there’s no consequence for her behavior.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Ok

[@ReneeChambers-sx8zb]

Melissa she need to Go..

[@jbland7737]

She needs to go like yesterday.

[@catherinewest6378]

They won’t keep Fuda if they ride with Tre. The husband stuff with Louis is too much. They’ve gotten rid of other big people before like LVP & Dorinda & Vicki. I don’t think they want Tre thinking she’s in charge. I predict she’s done with this particular show.

[@deborahbloise9021]

Less viewers because of the inconsistency, you wait forever for the shows to return and by that time you move on! Wee like consistency!!! Bravo get your acts together!

[@jbland7737]

Blah blah blah

[@benbelzer8303]

David, I remember that question I asked you at the pajama party about how I wondered if you think the producers favor a storyline more than genuine drama and you said a storyline is more favored. I agree with you now, but I think an even better question is How do we go about getting a good storyline? I think the problem is when production pushes the women to start drama, and the solution is to let genuine friendships be shown BUT the producers need to CREATE the storyline from that... rather than push the women to create a storyline FOR them. I think it's a sign of laziness from producers when they aren't able to create the storyline solely from the women being themselves.

[@dorothyblack8904]

RIP Shannon.

[@jess4reallyreal]

Would love to see Kathy and Richie back with Melissa and Joe because we all need some Rosie back in our lives ❤

Kathy and Richie can't stand Melissa and Joe, so I'm not sure it would be a good idea.

Kathy has Melissa and Joe's number. She is not messing with the Whorgas ever again.

Bravo needs to do some creative stuff with the housewives. The weekend trip was a good start. What about a holiday special. Christmas, Easter, Madonna’s birthday.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

Let me ask a serious question. If Joe and Melissa divorced long ago would Melissa even be on the show any more? I think we all know the answer.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Probs not

[@benbelzer8303]

I can see Teresa, Dolo, Fuda and Cabral going forward and maybe bringing Kathy W back (which is the rumor). I guess Kathy got the tap on the shoulder from producers. Dump the Gorgas for a good two seasons and have them be jealous of Kathy. Bring on someone who is friends with Teresa too, like maybe someone who is close to Dina. Tie back in some of the original cast by having links to new people.

[@behindthevelvetrope]

Yes

[@annetteaspinall4279]

I was always of the mind messy needs to go. No I want her to come back, Kathy and Rosie and Theresa. I want a mob wives style sit down. Air it out talk about it, resolve it. I am thinking that would be epic. I want them to reboot the family then build it around that.

[@jessicahebert6063]

Sorry to hear that.

[@plainsimple244]

What Shall Happen: Danielle stays because I think Melissa and Joe Gorga love Danielle ..... Who loves Marge? .... It depends on what Marge has on Melissa, if it's really 'nothing' Marge will go but if it's 'something', I think she'll have to stay because of info she'll have on Melissa. Fuda, Fessler, and Jackie are not necessary. So this is what I see happening, you are having 3 to go: Fuda, Fessler, and Jackie ..... Obviously Dolores stays which means Fank stays and obviously Teresa and Melissa must stay but the wildcard is Marge. Teresa/Luis: If Bravo disassociates from Luis, what will Teresa do? If Bravo wants Teresa but not Luis, what will happen? I think Teresa will file for divorce, keep on the show, and continue on. I do not think Bravo will part with Teresa but Luis will no longer be there and then the information comes out concerning what he has on everyone.... Seriously, are Luis/Teresa real when it comes to a relationship without that show? I know Teresa is an entity of herself but was Luis just there for 'the show' or for life outside of that show? If 'the love bubble' is real then Teresa will exit with her husband Luis and they'll possibly have their own show ... then what? Melissa/Joe will soon follow, even though they should have had a show first, you'll see Teresa say Melissa is copying her wanting and having her own show because Teresa is first prize for Bravo. The Show: See, when you do a reset, reboot, or revamp of a show, you have to look at who is unnecessary. The keys are the relationships. Now Joe Gorga was smart doing things with the husbands because it gives them a business platform to make money, the women love them and remember, even though the female audience will hate their wives, they'll love those guys, so they'll tune in and 'the husbands' can show Bravo they can pull ratings and a crowd .... so now Bravo has no choice but to keep Joe Gorga, Frank Catania, Joe Benigno, and Bill Aydin .... Luis? ... He's like the male Marge, he can get info on anyone, always start shat, and keep the roll going .... I do not think Fuda is vital but Luis' meal ticket on the show is Teresa, controversy, and possible intel he has on the husbands and especially the secrets of the housewives and he can blow this entire thing up if they quit Luis. One thing we know, Luis is a survivor and there are secrets that Jackie G. knows and will not hesitate to share. Keys II: What does Marge have on everyone? What does Luis have on everyone? What does Jackie G. know and will share? Everyone else is tight-lipped and Jennifer Aydin will speak but she has to be secure enough to speak financially on the show with her disclosure purse. Also, if Jennifer runs her mouth, it makes her mistress, Teresa look terrible, like she gave the approval. See, you don't see Marge and/or Melissa telling stuff on one another; Dolores is really patient; there's a reason why Frank Catania and Joe Gorga are close in business due to Frank being Joe's lawyer, so right there, no way they tell on one another no matter what .... So Joe/Melissa and Frank/Dolores will always be solid. Keepers: Teresa/Luis; Joe/Melissa; Dolores/Frank; Marge/Joe; Jennifer/Bill ... Honestly, less is more unless you are going to bring in 'friends' who are sizzling and include the mature children of both Teresa and her brother with Frank/Dolores' children who are adults. I don't mind seeing Dolores' new man and Frank's new lady on the show -- which is why if less is more include them and the show will be filled. The 'good vs. evil' theme is not necessary and the 'sides' theme is not necessary -- they all have friends and they are all close with one another.
