RHONJ Continues to Search for New Cast Members; Production Looking at Teresa’s Friends

September 18, 2012 | By | 88 Replies Continue Reading

It’s clear that the current relationships on RHONJ, at least when it comes to Teresa Giudice, are either over or under really awful standing. With the reunion show now filmed and no resolution in place, the casting is being reconsidered for the next season of the hit series.

Insiders close to the show reveal to Huffington Post that cast members are being debated on to see who will be added and who will not be asked to return. “Now they are deciding what to do with next season, with the biggest problem being Teresa Giudice,” reveals an insider. Well, at least we know that the show’s biggest draw is not going to be axed. Smart call by Bravo.

“No one wants to tape with Teresa anymore,” two cast members reveal to Naughty But Nice Rob. “She has done so many things to each member of the cast that at this point it is everyone versus Teresa. I know they are looking at several friends of hers to join the show so she has someone to film with. At the moment, no one has been invited back, but we are all pretty sure Teresa will have two new friends,” added the mystery cast member.

I am still rooting for Penny to join the cast next season! The whole “Teresa is root of all evil” storyline is so stale by now and to be honest, I could care less about the whole Gorga/Giudice family drama anymore. We’ve had two season of it and it’s time for a change of pace! I do, however, have issues understanding how Caroline and Jacqueline will fit in the show if they remain on the cast. What would their role be in the group dynamic if it wasn’t a Teresa bashfest? I would hate to see the show become RHOA circa season 4 and have a clear split of women halfway down the middle who don’t care to interact with each other. Thoughts on the casting considerations?

    Teresa goes then so does 3/4 of the audience. Me included. Jac and Caroline stay, IM DONE THEN.. They are bullies and psychos they could have their own show with that exact title.. I wish Melissa would see Teresa had her best interest at heart.. Kathy’s just jealous.. TELL BRAVO TO CALL ME.. They couldn’t imagine the money they’d make then.. ;)

    • Meredith says:

      I am with you on that one! I am SO over Caroline, ew. Watching that manipulative evil old broad brings stress into my REAL life. It is NO fun and I can’t handle it anymore! Ugh!

    • reddvette says:

      Now you tell them.

    • Nicolette says:

      I used to like Jaqueline and Caroline but then they got so hateful and Jacqueline can barely move her mouth now. As for MelissaI believe I feel for her sweetness as well as Kathys but now I see them as jealous

    • Tina says:

      I agree, get rid of Jacq and Caroline. Their story lines are boring without Teresa. I can’t stand Kathy the snake but I would leave her in for Melissa. So, keep the Wakile’s, the Gorga’s and the Giudices. Bring in 2 of Teresa’s friends. Show more of Kim D’s issues with Melissa from the past. Would love to see Dina back but I know that won’t happen.

    • Dee says:

      I agree they can all go except Teresa. She’s amazing to watch and never boring. I cant wait to see how Teresa interacts with a while new cast!!! If she goes I’m done watching, but hey maybe bravo will give her a show of her own like with Bethany :)

  2. ladynblack says:

    Roxy just from your previous post the producers favor the bullies. I’m so disgusted, if they don’nt want to film with T then move on without them.

    • NYDeb123 says:

      I say get rid of Caroline, Jacko, Kathy and see how different Meho acts towards Teresa when she has no back up. Bring on Penny & Pricilla!

      Pete & Shelia would be a great addition I think!

      • Isabella Patricia says:

        I agree! CaroClown, Drunken Jacqueline, and boring ass Kathy needs to go!!!!! MeHo should stay because Penny and Priscilla needs to get her after all the shit she’s done and pulled. Same goes for her perverted, shrimpy little husband of hers. Priscilla is beautiful, and MeHo would HATE how much attention she’ll get. Her appearance is attractive, and she’s just so beautiful to look at. Penny is a wonderful mother, a successful businesswoman with a great lifestyle, an amazing, supportive husband who is sweet, sincere, and is a great father, and her children are precious. Johnny and Penny are funny (I need to start laughing and smiling more when this dumb show is on), and they’ll bring laughter and drama to the Whoregas which is admirable. Lol. They have what RHONJ is looking for, and they’ll have MeHo and JoeHo runnin’ SCARED which will be for great t.v. Hey… They deserve it, don’t they?? ;) It’s about time, too!

        I want the tides to change, and with Penny and Priscilla on… How great would the show be? I love Teresa, so I hope Penny and Priscilla stay true to Teresa after they are on the show. I’m sure they’ll stay loyal. Penny is all about loyalty, and Priscilla has been by Teresa’s side through everything, and I admire her for that.

        Oh em gee! My long as speech! Lol. Sorry guys… I haven’t been typing much at all. Just started yesterday again… :)

        • Hailiesmama says:

          off subject a minute. If chris & albie are getting there own restrnt. then i bet caroline is changing her tune, keeping mum, b/c bravo told them that people hate manzos right now, keep it cool and maybe.

        • marie says:

          Don’t allow Melwhore to be on the show. Who cares if she gets it publicy! She’ll just cry fowl and attempt to garner sympathy from the audience. Melwhore is a whore. Call a spade a spade.

    • reddvette says:

      notice the source is 2 cast members. Taking bets it is Jacq and Chuckie. Chuck came up with the plan not to film with Danielle.

  3. jerseygirl says:

    Bravo really needs to stop jerking people around. Andy Cohen is a bottom feeding child. Executive my little flat a**!

    I hope the execs hire a couple of really articulate b*tchy friends of Teresa’s and let the viewers watch the other four get their comeuppance. That I would tune in to watch, even if it means having to see the Jackhole Four.

    • NYDeb123 says:

      That I would pay to see. Penny is that person. She will bring Melissa down to her knees! Fuck Caroline get rid of the bitch and her clan who cares about them anyway. Kathy & her clan are boring as shit get rid of them too. Jac has no story line either take her out as well.

  4. Crazy J says:

    It’s not that Teresa has done anything to cause them to not want to film with them; they don’t want to film with her in an attempt to push her off the show. Sorry bitches but Teresa IS the show!

  5. Grammy8 says:

    Well, if they are looking for Teresa’s friends maybe that signals Teresa is coming back. I would love to see all of the fierce four leave but it sounds like they will keep Melissa so the family drama continues. Sad.

    • disgusted says:

      dont worry with the others gone Melissa will change her tune … Too bad she cant change her singing tune or tone lmao

    • marie says:

      If melwhore is back…I am OUT! I been out since episode 13 but damn, I would be really out if she’s back. I can’t stand that witch and she’s the sneakiest bitch I have ever seen. Changes with the wind to be seen and heard. That’s the type you never trust.

  6. Jodi Marino says:

    Bravo made a big mistake hiring Teresa’s family. The Teresa basing is horiffic! Caroline and Jac look so unprofessional its rediculous! Who ever doesn’t want to film with Teresa should be let go! They are the haters! and thier tweets prove it. I like Drama but this is beyond Drama, and honestly it makes Bravo look bad and they dont have control over thier Employees. LET THEM GO BRAVO PLEASE. I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!

    • Divorce says:

      Yes, Bravo realizes now that they have made a mistake. They have dragged this family feud on for two seasons now. It’s boring. Let the Gorga’s and Walkilies go. We don’t want to keep hearing them lie and say how much trouble Tre causes. It’s time to change it up.

      • marie says:

        divorce, ITA. It’s so boring and family drama is never going to be mended on cameras EVER. it is the dumbest plot line to have family members come on the show and say that T has done so much to them but then can’t really identify what exactly she did. It’s stupid and I keep I don’t even watch anymore. I just want for the blogs to sum it up. Kathy is disgusting and Mel, well she’s a whore that knows how to hustle like a whore.

  7. shammajo says:

    leave Teresa on and a couple of her friends, leave Melissa on and bring on Angelo to taunt her!

  8. holy cannoli says:

    Aww poor losers.. No ones wants to tape with Teresa anymore… LMAO!! What a bunch of cry babies!!

    If they don’t want to film with her than quit!

  9. michers says:

    T’s blog is up and awesome ;)

  10. Rach says:

    I just want to know who’s getting the boot so that there’s room for Teresa’s new filming partner(s). I’ll be happy with Caroclown and either Kathy or Drunkqueline getting fired.

  11. Mackenzie says:

    Cant wait to have a few of these ladies gone. I dont really care who, because honestly I’d be happy to see any of them (except Tre) get the boot. However I’m sure whoever goes will say “It was a personal decision I made on my own not to be involved any longer.” lol. I hope Bravo knows that wether you like Tre or not, she IS and will continue to be why people watch. If you love her, you watch to see her overcome all the bashing she recieves & to see how happy she is with her family & children. If you hate her then you watch to see who is going to tell her off and talk behinde her back. It all comes back to Tre wether haters want to admit it or not lol. I also think the Manzos problems start with the fact, they were the main family going in. Now they are not and they dont like that. Guess we will have to watch what happens!

    • disgusted says:

      Not only aren’t the Clownzos the main family but they are torturous to watch…let them go bravo

    • hannavas says:

      This is really mean but I’d like to see just Caroline, her kids and Greggy go. Leave the rest of the women; they’ll be harmless around Teresa’s friends. But it would absolutely Kill Caroline to have to watch everyone else still on the show.

      • JanShe says:

        I say get rid of Caro and Mel, leave Jac and Kathy.

        C and M are the manipulators, and I would love to see how Jac and Kathy behave without their leaders.
        IMO – that would be hilarious, neither one of them made any of their own decisions for the last two seasons.

    • reddvette says:

      It was the plan for them to be the main family, that’s why Bravo keeps pushing them, web shows, and such. The problem is they are just not likeable.

  12. Tre says:

    Ok…..I love Teresa…..love her fam( sometimes I want to slap Joe) but I’d like to teach the others a lesson….so I say let Teresa go on to her own show….I’d like the others to see that they have NOTHING with her….they are as boring as watching paint dry and bravo too would learn a lesson

    • disgusted says:

      that would be good … but i would rather see them fired for their appalling behavior

      • marie says:

        thanks disgusted. I want them all gone but T! I just love her and can’t stand that she’s being ambushed every week, by everyone and the most hurtful of them all, her own blood. Someone tweet JOEGO and tell him he’s the biggest scum on earth and if you live in NJ, let him know to his face that what he’s done to his sister is far worse than anything she could have ever said or done to him. He’s a true disgrace.

  13. Lapband Lauren says:

    Really? No one wants to film with tre cause what shes done?? How about what they have done to her and her family? No one thinks about her and blames her for every single shit that has happened in their life to get her kicked off the show. Hopefully this backfires on their ass. Even if they decide to let her go tres business ventures are set in stone. What about the others if they are let go? No one will remember any of them, if anything maybe caro cause she looks like a red headed chicken nugget but thats it. If they kick tre out i hope they bring anti mel friends who will bash her ass just like they did to tre, and obviously they have a ton of people in line. The best candidate? Penny. Never knew she was an ex friend of mel. If they bring her on the show only god knows what she will expose about mel and she is willing to open her mouth as well as her husband and with them showing penny&co for the season finale i think they might bring her on. Lets gooooo!!!!

    • Kriisten says:

      This is KILLING ME! I’ve watched EVERYYYY season. Who the HELL is Penny??!!?!

      • Isabella Patricia says:

        Penny is Melissa’s ex-friend who had sex with Penny’s longtime friend. Melissa and her husband tried to threaten Penny and her husband, Johnny, to keep quiet, but they aren’t scared of Melissa and Joey. Penny knows all of Melissa’s dirty little secrets, and she wants to put Melissa on blast for being a fake, phony person who acts all self righteous. Also, they know her Angelo and they Melissa when she was messing around with a bunch of guys while married to her husband.

      • Lapband Lauren says:

        Thnx isabella for explaining and kriisten the reason why people dont know penny cause instead of people trying to find out the truth they sit back and watch bravos totally edited episodes and get brain washed. Penny has never been on an episode but last weeks show she was in there for a second. And the salon tre got her makeup done was pennys. Penny is a hairstylist and she owns le chateu allure salon with hubby john. She used to be goos friends with mel, mel also bragged to penny when she got her gig on RHONJ. Some hoe they had a falling out and it must have been bad since now penny is out for blood. She claims she knows a lot of dirt about mel and mel did sleep around with a rich greek friend but she was never accepted by the fam (hmmm wonder why? White trash hooker with sister that no one can stand) so she got dumped. If she wants to say she isnt a golddigger well I guess pigs can fly also since this greek dude was balling with money. Wonder where he is..I have a feeling if penny joins this guy will be brought up also. Dont know how Tre will mix with penny considering she doesnt like her family being brought up on the show (unlike mel & barco sisters who continue to trash tre everywhere) but from what I hear penny doesnt care and will tell you like it is. My kind of a woman! I say kick out caro and bring a new don to the cast. I think ALL the ladies will be afraid of her and wont be able to handle her honesty!!!

      • DLL says:

        Penny is the wife of Johnny The Greek (John Karagorgis) Her name is Penny Drossos (PDKhair on twitter). She owns a hair salon is is an ex-friend of Melissa’s.

  14. candida says:

    Get Caroline off; Jac and Kathy are boring; Melissa and that little guy she calls her husband could stay they are entertaing

    I have also grown to dislike; Chris laurita; Albie Chris; Greg and Big Al; also can’t stand Lauren; so that entire group; needs to say bye bye now

  15. Dee says:

    Man, all those horrible things Teresa did. It’s a shame we never saw any them. The fun’s been sucked out of this show, I’m probably going to just stick to Project Runway and Top Chef for my ‘reality’ tv after this season is over.

    • ladynblack says:

      if teresa is gone I’m going to watch Honey Boo Boo! At least their love in the familiy: Mama June, Sugar Bear, Chumbs, Pumkin, Chickie Dee and Honey Boo Boo!

      • disgusted says:

        someone please tell me who Honey boo boo is?????? i wanna watch too

        • michers says:

          TLC on Weds nights before or after Toddlers and Tiaras! Google it, hot mess, lol!! Actually I saw a funny last night and if you need a laugh, I recommend you watch. Gives you a glimpse.
          Remix of honey boo boo. ( youtube). Rememebr, I told you a hot mess.. but its a break from this show! I do not watch Toddlers and Tiaras, but Honey boo originated from that show I think.

          • disgusted says:

            thanks michers (: i need a laugh … this rhonj is really making me physically ill no joke… i really am sick over it .. if you count everyone that has tried to humiliate or taint Teresa’s character in the past two season its over 20 ppl Really over 20 ppl Caroline, Albert, Christopher Albie,Lauren,Greg ,Kathy, Ritchie,Rosie, Jacqueline Chris, Ashely. Joe Gorga, Melissa , The Marco Hags, Monica, KimG, Mandy Cohen , The two morally corrupt producers…… oh my …am i forgeting anyone ?????? sad and sickening … Yes I really need a laugh Thanks again

    • michers says:

      Dee, honestly a really great reality show I caught is Braxton Family Values. ( Toni Braxton & her sisters. ) Its pretty good and decent, and real as far as I could tell!

  16. Teresa Carlucci says:

    If Teresa goes, SO DO I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s that simple!
    I literally CANT STAND Caroline or any of the others to be honest. Get a whole new cast!

  17. MrIncredible says:

    I’d honestly like to see them replace Kathy and Caroline. They really bring nothing to the show & have become rather stale. It’d also be interesting to see how Jac deals with filming without her “handler” present. As for Melissa, I can tolerate her & would love to see how the dynamic between the SILs changes & potentially grows. If anything I’d love for them to add 3 new castmates without familial ties. Spice it up & bring the show back to a fun & flashy space!

  18. stay says:

    Jaqcueline needs to go!!!!!!!

  19. Boss640 says:

    Lets say Bravo dumps teresa, ok next season, the cast still talks about how much they hate Teresa!!!!! Its time for them to move on, If its a war they want , then put a few people on Teresa’s side lets make it a fair fight!!!!!! But lets get rid of the manzos they suck!!! as does jaco kathy , hey It should be just Teresa!!!!!!

  20. disgusted says:

    Out with Caroclown Katfish and Jacko and their families … But i do want to see Meho and her p*ssy whipped little man put on blast Or not ….i wont lose sleep if they go too

  21. E19 says:

    I actually want all the current cast members to stay and for 2 of Teresas friends to join the show.

    I would LOVE to see Teresa and her friends fight back at the rest of the cast. It would be nice to see someone standing with Teresa and giving good verbal punches to the rest of them aka Jac/Caroline/Kathy and Melissa.

    Now THAT would be a season I would LOVE to watch.

  22. Stacey says:

    I hope Carohag and frog face get fired.

  23. Melody says:

    Teresa makes alot of money for Bravo. She won’t be canned.

    I still think Kathy will be gone. She offers NOTHING to the show except for being a follower.

    I predict they will keep Jac but limit her appearances.

    I think this revelation about the setup will force Bravo to change things.

  24. michers says:

    Ok, I for one would still like to know WHAT THE HELL DID SHE DO? And really, she hurt all of them? This is adding more annoyance to the show, that clearly Bravo effed up along with liars- out of jealousy over popularity? Get over it heifers/strippers/spoiled rotten Manzoids/Fishpants!!!! How do none of them or Bravo realize NO ONE WANTS any of them to return but TERESA!!!! And if they are counting on using what we have seen on tv for excuses, oh friggin well. She did nothing crazy, she blabbed no one’s business, she did not hurt anyone. She should have done more to defend herself and give them something to really cry about or tweet about or be a “source ” about… What I have been given by Bravo is virtually useless! I mean, the only ones who have been hurtful and lied and bully are the Jackhole4. They are nasty women.

    • marie says:

      Michers- THANK you for summing it up. I thought that I might of missed something from someone along the way. What the hell did T do? that’s the question for the last two seasons that have never been justified. I quit bravo and just read blogs.

      • disgusted says:

        Teresa is making money on everything she touches , she got the spot on celeb apprentice 4 cookbooks and counting beverage line endorsements hair care line …..ect…..THATS WHAT SHE DID …..and they want to hurt a mother of 4 livelihood and career … sick people ….. But i know its all jealousy and deflection …. keep throwing shit her way and no one will notice their failures and legal/financial issues…..they dont realize we know all about their shady selfs….. all they have on teresa is” you did this you said that you wrote this.”.. all things we never saw ….. but we heard about them 1000 times ….with the producers in their pockets you would think we would have saw something wouldnt you ??????? how f*cking ridiculous

  25. Grammy8 says:

    Pete Guidice just tweeted that Johnny and Penny were not friends of theirs or Teresa and Joe’s..just acquaintances. What does this mean for casting? To me this was a bomb shell.

    • reddvette says:

      He is just letting it be known that they were known by Melissa. They are not Teresa’s friends, they know each other but not friends. So if they come to the show its not because they are Teresa’s friends.

  26. stay says:

    I am sick to say what I have heard but I have a family member who has a friend who has a family member who works for NBC and this person said that Caroline is gone on her terms and Theresa is being let go because no ones will film w her. Iam sick!! I was like how can this be? As far as Jac that has not been decided.

    The only thing I can think of is that Theresa is getting her own show. But, she said in her blog she has been offered and wouldnt do it.

  27. Rosalie Marie, says:

    If Bravo doesn’t fire Melissa and Kathy, that’s it. Done With This! I’m not watching this for a third year in a row.

    Fire Melissa and Kathy.

  28. Rosalie Marie, says:

    “No one wants to tape with Teresa anymore,” two cast members reveal to Naughty But Nice Rob. “She has done so many things to each member of the cast that at this point it is everyone versus Teresa.
    ———————————————

    Gee, let’s guess who said that! Melissa?
    Same words she used during the RV vacation.

    Melissa, Kathy, Jacqueline and Caroline are the problem here. Fire Melissa and Kathy and rest is easy to deal with. It’s night right to bring family members on a show to intentionally harm another family member. It’s hillbilly, it’s sickening and frankly, it’s immoral.

  29. Rosalie Marie, says:

    Oops….

    It’s NOT right to bring family members on a show to intentionally harm another family member. It’s hillbilly, it’s sickening and frankly, it’s immoral.

  30. jr russo says:

    They could do Teresa and her living her dreams with her friends and family. Then seperate they can do something with the Manzo’s who is getting along with who and not. Show Caroline building something with Dina. Keep it seperate like they do with Atl. Except the finally something will happen. Maybe someone gets divorced, married,engaged. It doesn’t have to be negative.

  31. Lisa Lisa says:

    My gramatical pet peave: it’s “couldn’t care less” not ‘could care less.’ If you could care less, then that means you care. If you couldn’t care less, then that means you don’t care at all. That’s why the correct phrase is “couldn’t care less.”

    Phew – finally got that off my chest. Now I feel better.
