The ratings success comes as the feud between Teresa and Melissa gets worse on the Bravo hit, with Louie Ruelas and Joe Gorga both jumping into the fold with Tuesday’s episode. The group is currently debating whether Teresa should have included Melissa’s family in her wedding, with Joe Gorga taking the issue directly to Louie. (Die-hard fans already know that Melissa and Joe end up skipping Teresa’s nuptials themselves.)
RHONJ is having a great season in the ratings thanks to both Teresa and Melissa (and co!), with NBC Universal previously touting the show’s success with DVR and delayed viewing in a recent press release.
According to Bravo, The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 premiere is the show’s highest-rated episode in three years, growing to a massive 2.3M people once 3-day delayed viewing was taken into account. In addition, RHONJ earned a 15% bump in the all-important 18-49 demographic rating, making it the best performance of any New Jersey episode in nearly three years in both total audience and demo ratings.
In addition to Teresa and Melissa, Season 13 stars Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabral, and Jennifer Aydin.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays on Bravo.
