00:00:02
Speaker 1: Rain drops, rain drops, rain drops, raindrops. We have a lot to celebrate today, Teresa ju dch. It's back on our televisions. Cree. Not that I had any doubt, but listen, I am smiling from ear to ear. This is great news. In the words of Kamala Harris, I love good news. I love good news. I don't know how to do her laugh, but hey, we love good news. Teresa Juditch, Melissa Gorga, and Delora's Catana are officially returning to season fifteen of My Love the Rare Housewives of New Jersey. I am literally soaking in tears because I miss my Jersey girls.

00:00:59
Speaker 2: I really do.

00:01:01
Speaker 1: I gave Teresa a congratulatory call today to congratulate her on returning.

00:01:10
Speaker 2: She's happy. I'm happy. It was a great conversation. I love my girl. I think I cracked a little bit, so reason's like, bitch, what's wrong with you? No?

00:01:24
Speaker 1: But all jumps aside. Listen, y'all know, I love my girls. I love the girls, but I love my ogs. And when it comes to Teresa Anini, you know, along with Sharay Kim zosiak my day ones, I have this very special place in my heart for my day one girls. The girls where when I started Alana, we were all there together when I started Jersey. We're talking about Dina, Caroline, Jaqueline, Danielle, and of course Teresa and listen, I'm just happy for Teresa.

00:02:00
Speaker 2: I really am. She deserves it. So I want to spend some time talking about what this.

00:02:09
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say reboot because it's not a reboot. You have three returning Cats members, so it's not a reboot. But I do want to spend some time talking about what this means for the future of Jersey. So before I do that, we have to talk about the fact that, unfortunately Margaret Joseph's listen, she got fired. You know, it is what it is. I am. Before I get into my feelings on Margaret, she did announce today that after seven seasons, which is a long time, she said the.

00:02:53
Speaker 2: Decision was mutual for her to move on. And look, I love Margaret.

00:03:00
Speaker 1: I know you guys think I'm a tree huger, and I am, but y'all also know that I get prompts due and I've always enjoyed Margaret.

00:03:09
Speaker 2: Margaret has been on this.

00:03:10
Speaker 1: Podcast, I've been on Margaret's podcast. I don't have any beef in Margaret. So I feel bad for Margaret because listen, love Margaret or.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: Hate her, she was great television.

00:03:26
Speaker 1: And you have to put some respect on her name, and I for one, will put some respect on Margaret's pigtails. She was great TV and you have to give this woman that. She announced that she's leaving. She said that she wanted to focus on her family, design work, and new unnamed projects she is currently filming. Well, I can spoil it for you. I'll just say allegedly job. But Margaret is filming a new show for Amazon Prime along with Kenya Moore, Tamar Braxton, and Savannah chris Lee and her mother, Julie chris Lee, in addition to Kim Zozi at So it's Kim Zosia, Kenya Moore, Tamar Braxton, Margaret, Savannah chris Lee.

00:04:21
Speaker 2: And some other people. So that's what she's doing.

00:04:26
Speaker 1: Allegedly. But hey, you know in reality but the King on Liverport the facts, and that's a fact. So look when it comes to Margaret on the show. The reason why I'm saying it's she got fired is because look, Margaret isn't turning down an opportunity to get back on the Show's that that's a fact to say, focus on family with all due respect. I mean it's her and her husband, right, she has kids, but they're not toddlers in tier areas like come on, so then you know, focus on design work. Anyways, Bravo made the right decision because in order for this show to read some new light, Margaret and Teresa on the same show will regurgitate the shit that we did not want to see anymore. And although a difficult decision, I'm sure Bravo had to choose between Margaret and Teresa. And if you want to keep the general electric lights.

00:05:51
Speaker 2: On, you bet on.

00:05:54
Speaker 1: Teresa judas the face of Jersey and that's why it was important for her to return. I never ever thought she was on the chopping block. Let's be clear, she's the literal face of this show. Michelle Obama two weeks ago mentioned on her podcast that the most iconic thing she says is Teresa's table flip moment you prostitution horror.

00:06:23
Speaker 2: That shows you.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: The iconicness of Teresa. Love her or hate her, Teresa is the show. And yes, I'm sure you got to say, well, Carlos Nini is the what's the face of Atlanta and she's not on it. What I will say to that is this, those are two different circumstances, So you can't. The thing is this, you can't. You can't compare the two. And the reason why you cannot compare the two is because that's two different situations that those two women went through separately. And I'm not gonna get into it, and I'll leave it at that. When it comes to Jersey, is Teresa's show. When you're talking to advertisers to buy ad advertisement commercials and you have a meeting with them and you say, you know, the Real Housewives of New Jersey's coming back, every advertising executive is going to say, oh, Teresa July show. They're going to give you more money betting on Teresa Judis.

00:07:41
Speaker 2: Just like Kyle Richards is the face of Beverly Hills.

00:07:46
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills gets a lot of ad dollars because of that show, but also because they know that, Okay, that's Kyle Richards show, right, So that's what Teresa brought to the franchise, is what she brought to the show. It was a very smart business decision. However, Margaret is good television and I do want all of us to thank Margaret for the seven seasons she brought to the show because she was great TV.

00:08:17
Speaker 2: And I do want all of us to give Margaret that respect. Despite what you may feel about her, give Margaret the respect that she was great TV.

00:08:29
Speaker 1: And I personally would like to say I wish Margaret the best. Now let's get into who the remaining cast is. I told you rain drops that I predicted this now before Melissa and Teresa made up. I told you, guys, I said they're going to bring back Teresa Dolores.

00:08:53
Speaker 2: I always knew it, always knew it.

00:08:55
Speaker 1: Check every freaking podcast episode, every interview I've done, I've always said it was going to be Teresa and Dolores. And this is why I've already explained to you guys. Teresa is the face of Jersey. Delores and Teresa are friendsors is you need a Switzerland type of character, and that is Dolores. Dolores and Teresa have been friends since they were teenagers.

00:09:23
Speaker 2: Pretty much. There's history there.

00:09:28
Speaker 1: It only makes sense because Dolorus and Teresa get along, and if you bring in new girls, you could bet on Dolores befriending all excuse me all of them. Now, Melissa was always going to be on the chopping block. They were never going to choose Melissa over Teresa. I don't care what y'all say. I don't care what y'all thought. That was never going to happen. Ever, it's like choosing I'm not gonna go there because I don't want this.

00:10:04
Speaker 2: To be mean. But you can't choose.

00:10:12
Speaker 1: The running back and not the quarterback. You know what I'm saying, You just can't. It doesn't work there. It doesn't work like that. So when Melissa Theresa made up, I think the network said, Okay, we do like Melissa, we do like Juicy Joe. It was an easier decision to keep Melissa on because, at the end of the day, Joe Gorga is great TV. Joe Gorga is Melissa's Peter Thomas to the Cynthia Bailey, and Cynthia Bailey is an amazing reality to her own, and she's proving that by being the hitge friend in charge on Atlanta. Okay, but even SYNTHI will tell you that the earlier seasons of her place on Atlanta, she knew that her husband at the time, Peter, was amazing TV and that that helped her situation too.

00:11:14
Speaker 2: She will always admit that.

00:11:15
Speaker 1: However, Cynthia once again has proven she can outlast everybody, and she has and she's done a wonderful job doing that. When it comes to Melissa, I've always said this, Melissa is very pretty. Do I think Melissa's iconic?

00:11:32
Speaker 2: No? Do I think Melissa's good TV? Sure?

00:11:36
Speaker 1: Am I happy to see Melissa back? Actually I am because I get to see Joe Gorga and I think, look, I think Melissa has this youthful vibe that does resonate with some audience members.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: So yes, I am happy to see her back.

00:12:02
Speaker 1: I am, And I am interested in seeing the family dynamic between her and Louis, Teresa and her brother. I'm interested in seeing all of that. And I don't think it's a bad idea for us to see that. All of this is really good news.

00:12:20
Speaker 2: This is good.

00:12:21
Speaker 1: News to see Terrisa, Terrissa Lord, Teresa, Melissa and Dolores Beck makes perfect sense. Obviously, we all knew Jennifer Aiden was not coming back. We all knew that, and she's another person who I think is great television. But we all knew that wasn't happening, same thing with the other women, right. We all knew that too, So there's a lot to celebrate and this is a step.

00:12:55
Speaker 2: In the right direction.

00:12:57
Speaker 1: They're going to be filming soon and I can't say enough congratulations, Divas and rain drops.

00:13:08
Speaker 2: I need to know what you guys think about this.

00:13:10
Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic, and I hope you guys go on the same page with me and the awesomeness of this news.

00:13:16
Speaker 2: I think this is great.

00:13:17
Speaker 1: I think it's wonderful and I'm so happy that we get Jersey bet because, baby, there's a lot of boring shit on television, but one thing you can do is bet on Jersey, especially with Teresa Judais in the driver's seat.
