Andy Cohen Isn’t Against Rebranding ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’
Things are looking precarious for The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast. As season 14 of the iconic reality TV series limps along, fans are calling for big changes. Apparently, Bravo has received the memo.
Andy Cohen recently revealed that he isn’t opposed to rebranding the show and would work with the network to figure out “something” regarding the cast before the show’s next season. Season 14 is still airing, so the network has time to make big changes.
Andy Cohen isn’t against a complete overhaul of ‘RHONJ’
Andy Cohen has always been happy to answer fan questions on Live with Andy Cohen, the Bravo exec’s SiriusXM show. During a recent episode, Cohen responded to a fan who suggested that a complete rebranding is needed to save The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Cohen agreed that rebranding the series seems like the right decision. Still, he didn’t reveal any definitive plans. Cohen did say that Bravo was working on something to make things better, though.
While Andy Cohen didn’t mention if Bravo plans to start with a brand new cast for RHONJ, there is a precedent. The Real Housewives of New York City is technically on its 15th season, but the current cast has only worked on the show for a short time. A completely new cast was revealed ahead of season 14, and season 15 is set to premiere later this year.
No final decisions on ‘RHONJ’ have been made public
If Bravo has already devised a way to revitalize The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the network isn’t ready to make it public. The current cast members are also staying quiet on the matter. Teresa Giudice popped up on Live with Kelly and Mark earlier this month. She insisted she was not planning to leave the show and would only walk away when Bravo fired her.
Several other cast members have expressed their interest in remaining on the show. Melissa Gorga doesn’t seem interested in voluntarily leaving, as that would give Giudice what she wants. Neither have revealed what Bravo has in mind for the future. Danielle Cabral and Jennifer Aydin, who brought plenty of drama of their own, have yet to open up about upcoming plans for RHONJ, either.
