[suspenseful music] What did you know about Brian and Rula before?
Dolores Catania· Guest0:02
Rula had a lot of stuff going on in her life at the time that she thought was over. She still doesn't know everything. Kelsie's chasing a lifestyle, not a love. But that comes with a price, because now guess what? Your shit's coming out.

When Jersey was put on timeout, how did Melissa and Ter- like, did they feel responsible for that?
Dolores Catania· Guest0:24
No fucking body- [laughs] ... took one fucking shit-ass responsibility for anything. You never trust anybody on a show.
Daryn Carp· Host0:32
But you trust Melissa and Teresa. [upbeat music] Welcome to After the Edit, your new go-to for everything reality TV, brought to you by Cash Money Media. I'm Daryn Carp, and today's guest, she's a powerhouse. An entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a fellow Jersey girl, a winner of Traitors. She even stole fans' hearts when she joined The Real Housewives of New Jersey full-time in Season 7. In a franchise built on drama, she carved out a reputation as the ultimate voice of reason. She's a voice of reason for me. Now she's taking that signature energy to Rhode Island, helping usher in a fresh wave of Housewives, and yes, even a few doppelgangers along the way. Dolores Catania, welcome to After the Edit.

Daryn Carp· Host1:20
So good to see you. We fell in love, I feel like, the moment we met.
Dolores Catania· Guest1:23
The minute. Love at first sight.
Daryn Carp· Host1:24
I, I don't even remember the first time we met. I was much- I do ... even it's not... Where were we, at an Up Front? Where were we?
