Season 14 ofThe Real Housewives of New Jerseyis not going particularly well. Fans grew sick and tired of the same storylines that were not lettingthe reality showevolve, whichresulted in a historic nosedive in ratings. On X,TV Deetsreports that the latest episode of the season hit a new low, with a low record of589,000 viewers tuning in. When it was last reported that the ratings were low, the ratings stood at0.699 million viewers, according to X user TheRealityTVGuru. The premiere earned0.837 million viewers, before dropping to0.740according toSpoiler TV. Now only just over half a million are tuning in. What a way forThe Real Housewives of New Jersey to leave the current era.
Before, fans blamed the divide, especiallyMargaret Josephs, for the terrible ratings that the current season received. Fans thought that Josephs treated the divide as a game, as she andTeresa Giudicehave beenfeuding for several seasons, and she tookMelissa Gorga’s side. After the latest episode took another historic nosedive, it is fair to say thatthe divide between the cast membersis the sole reason why fans are not enjoying the show that they once loved. The Cabo fight in Season 9 was more enjoyable.
Thedecade-long feudbetween Giudice and Gorga is simply getting old, and the housewives taking sides is not a joyful thing to watch. Fans raised eyebrows atJackie Goldschneider befriending Giudice, who wasusing her all along. As thereunion is cancelled, it seems like the fans willnot get as much closure from the seasonthat they expected a lot more from.
What Are The Season 15 Plans For ‘RHONJ’?
Fans have been begging Bravo kingpin and sit-down host, Andy Cohen, for a cast shake-up and reboot. However,Cohen’s answers have left fans less than pleased. In fact, fans feared more for the future of the show. Given thatthe reunion was cancelledas there was “no path forward” for reconciliation, fans believed that the show was at its end. However, Cohen does have plans for season 15, butno one knows what they are.
Firstly, he stated that the show may potentially have new faces to replace all the current cast members on the show, which turns out to be a hyperbole. Following reports that he may replace all the current housewivesand some fake reports, insiders claimed thatnothing had been confirmed. Although some fans do not want the show to end, other fans believe that it is time, due to the same storylines and the ongoing feuds.
Though nothing is confirmed,Cohen is not too opposed to a cast shake-up. According to Cohen, the divide is simply not sustainable for the show. Cohen and the fans are not the only ones who agree.Jenn Fesslerstated that there is“no more fun”.Goldshcneider alsocalled the show “toxic”,though fans believe that her suspicious friendship with Giudice is only deepening the divide. Gorga also expressed thatchanges need to be made. If the housewives who are so divided can find common ground on one thing, it is how the show is toxic - because of them.
The Real Housewives of New Jerseyairs on Sundays on Bravo. All episodes can be streamed on Peacock.
