The increase in ratings for RHONJ comes as Melissa and Teresa’s feud heats up, with some fans questioning where the show can go with their relationship at an all-time worse.
This week’s episode saw the sister-in-laws face off after it was revealed that Teresa did not invite Melissa’s mother to her wedding to Louie Ruelas. In addition to the ongoing Giudice-Gorga family drama, the episode also featured Teresa having it out with Friend of the Housewives Jackie Goldschneider, and new Housewives Danielle and Rachel attempting to sort out their issues.
While RHONJ has yet to hit 1 million live viewers this season and is slightly lagging behind Season 12, the series is in good shape with Bravo touting its growth in DVR after the season premiere back in February. Plus, this week’s episode was the number three show on all of cable proving RHONJ remains a strong hit for the network.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
