IfJenn Fesslerwas in charge ofThe Real Housewives of New Jersey, she would not do a full reboot ofthe beloved reality series. Speculations and rumours of the show undergoing a full reboot likeThe Real Housewives of New Yorkcirculated among fans afterAndy Cohen’s “jokey” comment about potentially doing a full reboot. Althoughnothing has been decided, that does not stop fans from worrying about their favorite housewives’ future on the show.Some agree with the show doing a full reboot, but not everyone. Fessler does not want a complete reboot, and it is not because that means her job is on the line.
Season 14 ofThe Real Housewives of New Jerseyin terms of ratingsis the worst season the show has ever had. The divide between cast membersTeresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jackie Goldschneider, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Jennifer Aydin,andDanielle Cabral(withDolores “Switzerland” Cataniamoving swiftlybetween both sides)was not an enjoyable watch. Fans grew tired of the ongoing feuds and the tension between the cast members, as they felt that the show had not evolved. With a reboot on the cards, the show could be back in its top form. Fans do not mind a reboot, andneither does Gorga.
Fessler sits withDorinda Medleyon her podcastReality Checked with Dorinda Medley, and she shares her thoughts on the potential reboot. Fessler previously stated that there was “no more fun” when shootingRHONJwith a divided cast. However, she thinks that the show is worth another chance and could be saved.
A ‘RHONJ’ Reboot Is Still On The Cards
On the podcast, Medley asked, “What do you think about getting some fresh faces on the Housewives of New Jersey? You know that they rebooted all of New York, and people have very mixed feelings about that.I don’t think that they’ll reboot New Jersey. I don’t.”
“I don’t know,” Fessler replied, “I mean, there are way smarter minds than mine at Bravo who are gonna obviously make this call.I don’t know what it’s gonna look like. I think that viewers are so invested in Jersey. They were in New York, too, but at that point, when New York got rebooted, things had changed in New York. I think, you know, Dorinda Medley wasn’t on.”
She also adds, “Yeah. It can’t be helped. I have to speak the truth, but I think with New Jersey, the viewers are so invested, and they want to see more Jersey. They don’t want to see it, you know, in the shape that it’s in right now, so you know,if I’m making the decision, it’s not a complete reboot.”
The future of the show is still in the air following the watch party special that follows the reunion. However, in a recent interview withEntertainment Tonight, Cohen, although there are no updates, tells fans to be patient. He says that Bravo is in “no rush” to start production on Season 15, and says, “You have to wait for great things.”
