“Real Housewives of New Jersey” fans will see a finale like never before next year, according to Dolores Catania.
“There’s a big bomb at the finale … and you would never know what it would be,” the reality star told Page Six exclusively at BravoCon 2023 in Las Vegas on Friday.
In fact, Catania thinks the end of Season 14 is even “bigger” than the explosive Season 13 conclusion, during which Joe Gorga and Luis Ruelas nearly got into a physical altercation.
“There’s two bombs at the finale,” she teased, revealing that she calls it “the Last Supper.”
When asked which of her co-stars were like Jesus and his betrayer, Judas, Catania’s ears immediately perked up and she insinuated that one of them actually does call another Judas.
“Oh, you’re gonna see. And that word, Judas …” she began before stopping herself and smiling. “I think I’m saying too much.”
The Bravolebrity, 52, did not divulge who was at war, but several “RHONJ” cast members have admitted to shifting friendship dynamics.
“It was a very rough season for all of us. [It] made good TV. Oh, if it made anything, it made good TV,” Catania assured us.
The longtime “Housewife” also confirmed that Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga no longer being on speaking terms made Season 14 “easier” to film than last year when they regularly feuded on camera.
The sisters-in-law’s relationship has been rocky for years and a major source of strife on “RHONJ,” but Giudice, 51, and Melissa, 44, reached a new low during Season 13 when the OG star allegedly told her brother, Joe, that Melissa was cheating on him.
The Envy owner vehemently denied the accusation, but it led to a volatile finale party and the Gorgas ultimately skipping Giudice’s wedding to Ruelas in August 2022.
Both sides have remained firm that there is no hope of reconciling anytime soon; fans even booed Giudice for shutting down the possibility at BravoCon.
“First of all, I’m living this journey, and I’m all about family and respect and trust,” she said during a panel on Sunday. “Sorry. That chapter’s closed with my brother, unfortunately. It really is.”
Giudice also blamed Melissa for spreading a rumor that Ruelas, 48, had previously tried to romantically pursue “Real Housewives of Miami” star Alexia Nepola before he met her.

“My sister-in-law put it out there,” Giudice claimed to Page Six exclusively on Friday. “She’s the one that started it.”
Besides Giudice and Melissa’s ongoing feud, former friends Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral got into a physical altercation during Season 14 that resulted in both of them being temporarily suspended.
Aydin, 46, and Cabral, 38, resumed filming just a few days later, and they were also at BravoCon 2023.
Meanwhile, Jackie Goldschneider also has seemed to drift away from longtime friends Melissa and Margaret Josephs and instead developed friendships with Giudice and Aydin.
Bravo has not yet announced a premiere date for Season 14 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
