While the season hasn't quite concluded yet, The Real Housewives of New Jersey has already been explosive. There are fights all over the place and everyone has problems with one another, which is exactly the environment that The Real Housewives franchise thrives in.
The season has been absolutely full of ups and downs, highs and lows. But there's always a huge amount of fun in the show, especially on the part of Jennifer this season, who has definitely been one of the most watchable characters overall. Which were her best moments, though, and which were the worst of these season so far?
Best: Jennifer Being Super Fun
Jennifer sort of started off rough when she joined the show, but she's having a great season this time around. Whether she's having a fun time at the pool party dragging the other housewives all over the place or cracking jokes, she's just a ton of fun. She seems to have started off on the wrong foot when she first joined the show, so it's great to see her let loose.
Worst: Teresa Spreading The Rumor About Jackie
Teresa and Jackie really just don't click, and things started up right away with them this season. At Evan's own birthday party, Teresa was spreading rumors that he cheats on Jackie when he says that he's going to the gym. Whether or not this is true, Teresa shouldn't have been spreading rumors, and especially not in this setting. This was a huge miscalculation on her part, and she knew this wasn't good.
Best: Teresa Finding Happiness
Nevertheless, things finally seem to be going right for Teresa; she seems to have found the man of her dreams. She's found a man that is incredibly kind to her, which is something that she really needed to find after Joe, who was horrible to her basically twenty-four-seven.
On top of this, Teresa is moving into a new place and really moving on from the pain that she's been through in the years. She's on a new chapter of her journey, and it's pretty clear that she's incredibly happy right now.
Worst: Joe Verbally Attacking Dolores
Joe going at Dolores at Michelle's party was absolutely awful to watch. He went after her and attacked her relationship for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and then everyone piled on and added to the unnecessary conflict. It was clear that it was really tough for Dolores, being hit on all sides by everyone. She was right to leave the party when she did because the nastiness was unwarranted.
Best: Margaret And Jennifer Going At It
Another set of people that are never going to get along are Margaret and Jennifer. These two have been going at it all season, with a lot of misunderstanding between the two. While things currently seem to have settled down between them, the constant spats about literally anything at the drop of a hat was a ton of fun to go down—but another event involving Jennifer wasn't too fun, sadly.
Worst: Watching Jennifer's Parents Fight
Jennifer's parents were part of an arranged marriage years ago, and sadly, it never seemed to work out between the two. Currently, things are the worst that they've ever been, and Jennifer isn't sure how to make it better—if there's even is a way.
The couple are living in separate places and barely communicate. When they do, it's all fighting. Jennifer's tried to find ways to fix it, but to no avail. Unfortunately, this is probably something that isn't easily fixable, despite Jennifer's efforts.
Best: The Husband Segments
No husbands in the Real Housewives franchise get as much airtime as the Jersey ones do, but it's deserved. When their ladies are off fighting with one another about something, the men are hanging out too, and they're hilarious to watch. While they fight rarely, that's never what it's about with these segments. It's about the chemistry between all of these men, and they bring laughs constantly whenever they're featured.
Worst: Joe And Melissa Fighting
While they seem to have recovered in the current day, Joe and Melissa's marriage was a bit strained during this season. The two were fighting about Melissa's commitment to their marriage, as her work-life balance has been a problem for Joe for some time. Melissa and Joe are made for each other, however, and things seem better now than when filming took place, which is a relief for fans of the couple.
Best: The Constant Drama
All-in-all, there wasn't a dull moment on this season of the show. It was constant drama between the women when they weren't making fans laugh. There weren't any filler episodes, everything was snappy. The Real Housewives of New Jersey never disappoints, and season 11 of the show was no exception.
Worst: Michelle
Michelle, who was featured on this show as Teresa's realtor, was bad news. She caused trouble whenever she showed up, and she made baseless claims about Joe Gorga and Melissa that could have been very damaging had they not been squashed. She's not going to be back next season, so this bad note sort of ends up on a positive one. She was an unneeded addition to the show that fans won't have to deal with in season 12.
