The Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion will reportedly be filmed at the same place as the finale episode: Rails Steakhouse.
With the upcoming 15th season of the Bravo reality series facing a number of different potential scenarios, which Andy Cohen, 56, recently discussed on the podcast of Jeff Lewis, 54, an insider has shared new details about the reunion special for season 14, claiming that the episode won’t feature the full cast together — and won’t have a host.
It will be a “non-traditional reunion where the plan is everyone is not in the same room,” an insider told Us Weekly on July 12, noting that Teresa Giudice, 52, and Melissa Gorga, 45, will be kept separate, as will Jennifer Aydin, 47, and Danielle Cabral, 38.
As the cast shares their thoughts on the finale, Teresa will be joined by Jennifer and Jackie Goldschneider, 47, as Melissa is seated with Margaret Josephs, 57, Rachel Fuda, 33, and Danielle. As for Dolores Catania, 53, and Jennifer Fessler, 53, they could potentially switch back and forth between the two groups.
“And you never know what else can happen,” the source noted.
While the cast will be split up, the insider went on to say that there was potential for resolve, even between Teresa and Melissa, who have been estranged for the entire season.
They then stated that the episode will be a one-part special and that Andy is not hosting — but that the arrangement as it stands “could change.”
With filming on the episode set for this coming week, Andy spoke of RHONJ on the June 21 episode of Jeff’s podcast, Jeff Lewis Has Issues, via Heavy, saying that keeping things as it is isn’t possible.
“When the stars don’t want to be in the same galaxy, that’s not sustainable,” he explained.
Then, when asked about “a complete reboot,” which he shot down during an interview with Extra TV last month, Andy admitted, “I think anything is an option.”
“I think there are four different ways that we could go with that show. And I think you could probably figure out what they are. We are going to let this season play out. We will all talk. We’ll do the focus group stuff. We’ll do all the stuff we do. And we’ll probably do a bunch of casting. And we’ll take our time,” he revealed.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14 airs Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo
