The boost in ratings will be welcome news for Bravo executives and the cast as the conversation surrounding the show has hit an all-time fever on social media following an explosive Season 13 finale that saw Melissa Gorga accuse her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice of conspiring against her with rumours about an alleged infidelity on Melissa’s part.
As RHONJ fans are well aware, the Season 13 finale was so explosive that it resulted in Melissa and Joe Gorga skipping Teresa’s wedding just days later with the reunion being the first time they have seen each other in-person since the dramatic events.
While some fans have been calling for cast changes ahead of Season 14 — and Teresa herself attempting to let Melissa go from the show during Part 1 — major changes are unlikely with such solid numbers like this.
In addition to Melissa and Teresa, Season 13 stars Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda, Jennifer Fessler, and Jackie Goldschneider.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey continues Tuesday, June 6 with Part 2 of the RHONJ Season 3 reunion at 9|8c on Bravo, followed by Part 3 on June 13.
