Which New Jersey Housewife Is Newbie Dolores Catania Closest With?

Andy Cohen wastes no time putting the #RHONJ mom on the spot.

After Show: Dolores on her #RHONJ Friendships

The Real Housewives of New Jersey rookie Dolores Catania made her Watch What Happens Live debut Sunday night alongside Shahs of Sunset's Reza Farahan (and her very sculpted son Frankie), and Andy Cohen showed no mercy. The WWHL host immediately asked Dolores to rank her friendships with the RHONJ ladies — specifically, two current and two former 'Wives: Teresa Giudice, Caroline Manzo, Dina Manzo, and Jacqueline Laurita. It was a tough question, but Dolores kept cool under pressure. "We're all great friends. Dina, I haven't spoken to in a very long time," she said before stating that Teresa and Jacqueline share a spot in the middle and Caroline gets top position, citing their unique relationship. "Caroline's in a spot of her own because she's like a mentor to me and we're in a different friendship," she explained. "We're close."

Caroline's sons Chris Manzo and Albie Manzo were in attendance for Dolores' appearance, accompanying her to the show. Her son Frankie supported his mother from behind the bar — drinking milk, no worries — and had sweet words for Dolores after the tough question. "I know my mother's very close with everybody and it's a hard question," he said. Dolores raised him right!
