RHONJ is having a great season in the ratings, leading all of cable with its premiere and topping 1 million live viewers multiple times throughout the season.

The reunion capped a dramatic season that saw Margaret Josephs face off against Teresa Giudice over her new boyfriend Luis Ruelas, and things didn’t slow down on last night’s (May 3) reunion episode, either. During the dramatic hour, viewers saw Jennifer Aydin shut down Dolores Catania, and Teresa and Melissa Gorga finally put the issues between them on the table.
In addition to Margaret, Teresa, Jennifer, Dolores, and Melissa, RHONJ Season 12 also stars Jackie Goldschneider and features Traci Johnson in a Friend of the Housewives role.
Part 2 of the reunion airs May 10 on Bravo.
