The Real Housewives of New Jersey

Teresa Giudice's new boyfriend Luis Ruelas has gone above and beyond to win her over.

He has made huge olive branch gestures with Teresa's family.

It really may soon be over for Melissa Gorga and Joe Gorga.

We're basing this speculation off the word of a very reliable source, too.

Even when Teresa Giudice is under fire on the show, she still has no shortage of fans.

But reality television comes with critics, too, and it's not all about her actions.

It's no secret that The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Joe and Melissa Gorga have been experiencing some problems in recent months.

Once considered the most stable of any couple on the Bravo hit, the Gorgas now behave as though their marriage is hanging by a thread.

There was a time when Joe and Melissa Gorga's marriage was widely considered the healthiest and most stable of all the relationshps on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Needless to say, those days are long gone.

This week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey was hard for the Giudice family.

Teresa was confronted, and the girls watched their uncle blame their father for everything that's gone wrong.

Last week, the bitter feud between Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider got worse.

Jackie brought up Teresa's experience of going to prison, escalating tensions even further.

DING! DING! DING!

It was on once again this week between Teresa Giudice and Jackie Goldschneider, as the rivals exchanged more insults on The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Joe Giudice is in a difficult position.

He's been deported to Italy as a result of his felonious tax fraud activities, which is bad enough on its own.

Teresa Giudice made it very clear on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey:

She didn't exactly lose any sleep over her split from Joe Giudice in late 2019.

It's time for some real talk, The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans:

The show you know. The show you love. The show you've watched so closely and fervently over the years?

The Real Housewives of New Jersey viewers are well aware that Teresa Giudice likes to lie about money and not pay what she owes to the federal government. 

(Or at least she does that. Maybe she doesn't like it, per se.)

RHONJ viewers have seen Teresa Giudice threaten to blow her "casket" ... her words, not ours ... this season.

While some of her anger is understandable, a lot of viewers think that she's in the wrong.

The intense feud between Jackie and Teresa continued over long distance on this week's RHONJ.

At the lake, the Housewives tried to talk Teresa into offering even a weak apology.

On the season premiere, Teresa's rumor-mongering about Jackie's husband prompted major backlash.

Jackie retaliated by fabricating a vile rumor on the spot about 20-year-old Gia.

If Teresa Giudice really is about to get fired by Bravo executives, we can now say this for certain:

She isn't going down without a fight.

Joe Giudice probably won't be appearing on The Real Housewives of New Jersey anytime soon, what with having been deported to Italy and all.

But when it comes to the drama surrounding the show, Joe is a bit like Michael Corleone in The Godfather II:
