After getting a preview of The Real Housewives of New Jersey Tuesday night on Bravo, May 12 can’t come fast enough! We break down the cast, from most to least likeable:

Caroline: The redheaded mama hen of the group is an “old-school” housewife who rules her large Italian family with an iron hand (but seems to have a soft spot for her teenage sons). She’s tough and no-nonsense and has a penchant for turquoise jewelry. We’re looking forward to seeing her put the smackdown on the other housewives.
Reminds us of: Jill and Bethenny from Real Housewives of New York and Jeana from Real Housewives of Orange County

Teresa: Addicted to shopping and spending money, dresses her three kids in matching outfits, bribes her 2-year-old with lip gloss, wants a boob job. Married to Joe, a beefy guy who works in construction and says things like, “Fuhgeddaboudit.” Budding stage mom who puts her kids in dancing and acting classes.
Reminds us of: Ramona from Real Housewives New York City and Gretchen from Real Housewives of Orange County

Dina: The token blonde of the group is chummy with her tween daughter and obsessed with material things. She can be bossy and goes into “bitch mode,” especially when she’s at work at her event planning company. Younger sister of Caroline.
Reminds us of: Kim from Real Housewives of Atlanta

Jacqueline: Las Vegas transplant who married into a Jersey family. She seems sweet and will likely be the peacemaker of the show. Sisters-in-law Caroline and Dina probably dragged her into this mess.
Reminds us of: Lisa from Real Housewives of Atlanta

Danielle: This “love me or hate me” firecracker was engaged 19 times before getting married and is now divorced with two kids. Boasts that she got her Black American Express card before Madonna. Dating online and seeking a wealthy man to “save” her and her girls.
Reminds us of: Lauri Waring from Real Housewives of Orange County and Sheree from Real Housewives of Atlanta
