When it comes to plotting, Teresa Giudice is an open book. The Real Housewives of New Jersey OG has played the same game since 2009. Whether it was feuding with her family or fighting the newbies, Tre always had a game plan to make sure she stayed the Queen Bee of New Jersey. With Bravo most likely planning a reboot for the popular series, Tre could be shaking in her boots. A call to action now has her looking at other opportunities and former foes to become allies. These big moves are all a desperate attempt to stay number one in the Garden State. But will the move pay off?

Teresa Giudice needs new allies

It hasn’t gone amiss that Teresa has a hard time keeping friends. Currently, she only has Jennifer Aydin and an iffy Dolores Catania. When it comes to being best buds with Tre, there are a few rules that you have to meet. Every friend has to be willing to back up the mother of four’s crazy rumor mill, and they have to be ride or die. But what once worked in the past isn’t exactly working on Season 14. Teresa can no longer sit on laurels and assume that most people want to join her cause. Even though she somehow recruited Jackie Goldschneider that won’t exactly be enough for a small army. If I were a betting woman, I would say Teresa is looking to branch out when it comes to open recruitment.

Teresa Giudice has found some unlikely friends

I guess hell has frozen over, or at least is starting to have flurries because Tre and Kim DePaola are talking again. In May, Teresa and Kim got together for a frienemy birthday lunch, which left fans shocked. In a social media post for the ages, Kim shared a snap of the two and wrote, “Thank you for my birthday lunch.” The “Power lunch” left everyone a bit unsettled.

But this isn’t the first foe Teresa has reconnected with. In February 2023, Teresa posted a photo of her and Jacqueline Laurita while she was in Las Vegas. The OG wrote, “5-hour lunch! Lots to talk about. Lots of laughs too! Reunited, and it feels so good!” RHONJ viewers will recall that former besties had a pretty bad falling out over Tre lying. The response to their team-up was overwhelming, with many fans wanting to scream, “Bring back our girls!”

Teresa Giudice wants to be on the reboot

Teresa has made it clear she wants to be on the reboot. Bravo has yet to explain what their idea board might look like for such a change. But producers could do the same they have done for the Real Housewives of Atlanta. The new season will bring back a memorable face or two. If Bravo were to bring back big hitters like Jacqueline, Danielle Staub, or Kim, it could revive the series. And Teresa isn’t dumb. She might play dumb well, but she knows how to win. By making friends with possible cast members it means there is more of a chance that these women will want to film with her.

The star of the Real Housewives of New Jersey is working overtime. Teresa is already using Jackie and said on TV that she doesn’t care about her; she just needs numbers. Even though Teresa has hinted that she might not want to come back for Season 15, I think it is a crock of bull. Reality TV is all that Tre knows. She has made a living of sharing every detail of her life and earning a paycheck.

But as much as Tre might need Bravo, I don’t know if the network needs her. The drama and toxicity that the queen brings are all getting to be a bit too much. It might be time to let the ship sail and move on. But if I know Teresa at all, she won’t go quietly. She will be like the captain of the Titanic, standing at the wheel as the ship goes down.
