Numbers don’t lie, and the data collected from Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga from Watch What Happens Live is very telling.
Before we analyze the following information, please note both WWHL appearances were after Real Housewives of New Jersey was put “on pause.” Teresa was promoting House of Villains while Melissa was promoting Sprinkle Cookies by MG during their visits to The Clubhouse.
Neither women were mentioned as RHONJ stars in their intro by Daddy Andy, fyi
Proof👏:
Teresa’s November 17th WWHL appearance earned .334 million viewers in the 18-49-year-old demographic. She sat in the second chair to Real Housewives of Potomac‘s Ashley Darby. For the record, RHOP was on just ahead of the WWHL episode.
Melissa’s December 18th appearance on WWHL garnered .185 million viewers in the same demographic. The first chair of Melissa’s WWHL appearance was occupied by Bronwyn Newport from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Like Ashley Darby, Bronwyn’s WWHL appearance directly followed the RHOSLC episode.
Teresa’s WWHL appearance earned almost double the viewers as Melissa’s.
The Two T’s In A Pod live audience felt differently:
RHONJ’s Dolores Catania was a guest at the live TWOTSCON filming in November. Teddi Mellencamp did an audience poll. If the audience could pick, who would we want to return, Teresa Giudice or Melissa Gorga.
First up was Teresa. There were a few loud screams that attempted to fill the nearly silent venue. A boo even snuck in at the mention of Teresa’s name.
Next up was Melissa. Tre’s estranged sister-in-law was much more well-received by the audience. The crowd enthusiastically cheered for Melissa after the near-radio silence response to Teresa returning.
