During the interview, Joe, 52, explained that maintaining his physique is important to him, especially because he wants to continue impressing his wife of more than 20 years. “That’s the standard. You know, I got to keep it up for my wife,” Joe said when asked about his appearance on *The Mob*, where viewers may see him competing shirtless. “She likes it. You know, I got to keep her on her toes, you know? I like to stay in shape.” Joe and Melissa, 47, have been married since August 2004 and share three children, Antonia, Gino and Joey. Throughout their years on RHONJ, Joe has never been shy about discussing their marriage or their intimate relationship, frequently making jokes about his sex life. And his latest interview was no exception. While playing a game called “Don or Whack,” inspired by *The Mob*, Joe was asked to determine which reality stars he would promote to a leadership role and which he would eliminate from the competition. When Melissa's name came up, Joe immediately declared that she deserved to be a Don. “Oh, definitely a Don,” Joe said. But his reasoning had less to do with Melissa's leadership abilities and more to do with what had happened between them earlier that day. “You know why? You know why I said Don? Because we had sex this morning. Because if she didn’t give me sex, then I’d be like, ‘Whack her.’” ![Joe Gorga Says Teresa Giudice Would Have Been “Whacked” Before Their Reconciliation As He Makes Spicy Marriage Confession](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/image-71.png) The confession is hardly surprising for longtime RHONJ viewers. Joe has famously nicknamed his penis “Tarzan” and has repeatedly joked about needing to release his “poison,” making his relationship with Melissa a frequent subject of his humor throughout the series. However, things became particularly interesting when Joe was asked whether his sister, Teresa Giudice, deserved to be a Don or get whacked. Despite their years of family drama, Joe made it clear that Teresa now has his support. “It’s my sister. We got to make it a Don,” Joe said. But he admitted that his answer would have been completely different before their recent reconciliation. “If it was six months ago, a year ago, forget it. I would say whack her.” Joe's response comes after he and Teresa finally repaired their relationship in September 2025 following years of estrangement. The siblings' feud had become one of the most explosive storylines on RHONJ, with Teresa and Melissa refusing to speak to one another throughout Season 14. Their family drama ultimately contributed to Bravo putting the franchise on an extended hiatus while producers reconsidered the show's future. Teresa previously revealed that she was the one who reached out to Joe after reflecting on their strained relationship. The siblings eventually met privately at the cemetery where their late parents are buried, before bringing Melissa and Teresa's husband, Louie Ruelas, together for another conversation. Joe recently explained that he and Teresa have agreed to communicate directly whenever something bothers them rather than allowing resentment to build. He has also insisted that the family will never return to the place they were in during their years of fighting. Now, his willingness to make Teresa a Don appears to reflect just how much their relationship has changed. Joe was equally complimentary when Dolores Catania's name came up. “She’s the Don. She got a Don. I love Dolores. We’ve been friends since we were kids,” Joe said. Dolores has maintained a relationship with the Gorga family for decades and frequently found herself caught in the middle of Joe and Teresa's disagreements on RHONJ. While Teresa and Dolores earned Joe's approval, Andy Cohen wasn't so lucky. When asked about the Bravo executive, Joe didn't hesitate. “Oh, whack him. He’s done. He’s out.” Joe also decided that *Southern Charm* star Craig Conover wouldn't survive his imaginary elimination round, although his reasoning had nothing to do with any personal feud. Instead, Joe joked that Craig's height was enough to make him a target. “You know he’s too tall. We are going to whack him. I’m tired of these tall guys around me. We gotta get rid of some of them.” Joe's comments about taller men continued when he discussed filming *The Mob*, which features a cast of reality television personalities competing for a cash prize of up to $250,000. The Hulu competition, hosted by Parker Posey, brings together celebrities at a luxurious Italian villa, where they must navigate alliances, strategy and eliminations. Joe filmed alongside personalities including Demi Engemann from *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, Chelsea Lazkani from *Selling Sunset*, Harry Jowsey and *Dancing With the Stars* judge Bruno Tonioli. Despite joking about eliminating several celebrities during his interview, Joe said he genuinely enjoyed getting to know his fellow competitors. “I fell in love with everybody. I really did,” Joe shared. “Everybody’s so great. Harry was my No. 1 guy. He’s so tall and good-looking. He’s got this hair.” Joe admitted that Harry's appearance immediately caught his attention, joking that he felt intimidated by the younger reality star. “I had my eye on him. I said, ‘Who is this son of a bitch coming over here with all this hair and he’s 6-foot-9 trying to make me look bad?’” Although Joe enjoyed spending time with his fellow cast members, he admitted he wasn't particularly familiar with many of their television shows before filming. According to Joe, his busy schedule doesn't leave much time for watching reality television. “I’m just a worker. I get up in the morning,” the real estate developer explained. “Then I got to come home and I listen to a crazy wife that has chores for me. ‘Do this. Do that. I want to do this. Take me out to dinner.’ And I have kids.” Joe continued by explaining that most of his time is devoted to his career and family. “So, I have no life but work and kids and life. And I got to take care of my wife. That’s why she’s so happy. You know what I mean?” His appearance on *The Mob* comes ahead of the highly anticipated return of RHONJ Season 15 in December 2026. The upcoming season will feature Teresa, Melissa and Dolores returning alongside six newcomers, giving viewers their first opportunity to see the Gorga and Giudice families filming together after their reconciliation. And while Joe may still be joking about who he would eliminate from his life, it appears that Teresa has officially earned her way back into his inner circle.
