The upcoming reunion of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' is set to take a unique approach this season. According to an exclusive source, the special will be filmed at Rails Steakhouse, the same location as the season 14 finale. It will be a non-traditional reunion where the cast members will not be in the same room. Instead, they will watch the finale together and provide commentary.
Amid an ongoing feud, sister-in-laws Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga will not be in the same room, as confirmed by the source. Similarly, Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral will also be kept apart. The plan is for Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, and Cabral to be together in one room, while Giudice, Aydin, and Jackie Goldschneider will likely be in another room. Dolores Catania and Jennifer Fessler may float between rooms, with the potential for unexpected developments.
The insider suggests that the reunion may provide an opportunity for the cast members to address crucial storylines from the season, including the strained relationship between Gorga and Giudice. The special is currently planned as a one-part event, and while executive producer Andy Cohen is not set to host at this time, that could change.
Speculation arose last month that a reunion might not happen due to the escalating divide between Giudice and Gorga. The Housewives have formed factions throughout the season, with some supporting Gorga and others siding with Giudice.
Regarding potential cast changes, there have been rumors of a shakeup, but Cohen dismissed these claims, stating that no decisions have been made about the next season of the show. He emphasized that any reports about the future of 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' should be viewed as false until official announcements are made.
