I Hope a ‘RHONJ’ Reboot Is Bravo’s Absolute Last Option

As fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, we are all aware of the horrific drama that went down throughout all of Season 14. Between the rivalries, drama, and the overall hatred between the women, Bravo had no choice but to put the production of Season 15 on pause until they could come up with a solution for this broken cast. I understand that the network and Andy Cohen have stated that there is no news, and there will not be for quite some time, despite numerous rumors circling social media regarding certain cast members returning. However, although everything is still undecided, I am hoping that there will not be a full reboot.  

I am hopeful that Bravo, Andy Cohen, and The Housewives themselves can come up with a solution rather than bringing in an entirely new cast for New Jersey. Everything was left on such ugly terms once filming for Season 14 ended. There is too much left unexplained and unwritten for the current cast to abruptly get the boot. I’m not ready to say goodbye to this group of women. I think there is still more to see.

There Are Too Many Possible Outcomes for This ‘RHONJ’ Cast

So many nasty things have been said and done between these women. From the ongoing feud between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga to the pure hatred that Rachel Fuda and Margaret Josephs have for Teresa, everything is completely messed up for New Jersey right now, which is exactly why I do not want the show rebooted. It would not make sense to me. What if there is a slight possibility that the Giudice and Gorga families rekindle one day? What if the once-real friendship between Margaret and Teresa blossoms again? Although these are very slight possibilities, I have learned to expect the unexpected while watching this franchise.

I would have never expected Teresa to become great friends with Jackie Goldschneider after their history, but look at them now. They are great friends despite Teresa spreading the rumor that Evan Goldschneider cheated. Even Melissa has responded to the question about a possible rekindling regarding her and Teresa with, “Never say never.” If the network decides to give RHONJ a complete makeover with brand-new women, then we may never get the opportunity to see two broken families possibly become one again someday.

This ‘RHONJ’ Cast Still Has More to Offer

I think it would feel too instantaneous to suddenly watch a whole new group of women after we have gotten to know the current cast for so many years. I want to continue watching the growing friendship between Teresa and Jackie because, although they were definitely an unexpected duo, I am a fan of their friendship and I think they are a great example that anything can happen. Rachel and John Fuda have just recently welcomed their new baby boy into the world, and I think it would be such a shame if they were not given the opportunity to show their growing family in Season 15.

I think Rachel and John have an adorable and entertaining family, and they deserve not to have their story end so soon, due to petty drama between these grown women. I adore Teresa and her girls and think they were made for television, especially Teresa’s oldest, Gia Giudice. Now that Gia is older and has proven that she can hang with the big boys and handle her own, it would be awesome to see more of her personal life and next steps. These women have unfinished storylines and I think it would be a shame and a waste to have Season 15 stripped away from them.

There are too many outcomes, possibilities, and stories for this current cast to say goodbye to RHONJ. I think that although each woman has a lot to work on, a reboot is not the solution. Too much has happened, and we have gotten to know these women for too long, so I hope, that if Bravo and Andy Cohen believe that the best thing to do is reboot the cast, then it would be their very last resort.
