Teresa Giudice has weighed in on whom she'd like to see return to season 15 of Real Housewives of New Jersey as the show's future remains up in the air.

The current season's reunion has already been canceled and there were rumors of a cast shakeup — but Andy Cohen shut down those rumors, saying, 'No decisions have been made.'

Now, in an exclusive interview with Teresa, 52, the Housewives OG said 'of course' she would want to be back next season and went on to share her 'dream cast.'

'Obviously me, Jennifer [Aydin], Dolores [Catania], Jackie [Goldschneider],' she told DailyMail.com at BELLA Insider's Summer Festival at The Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch, New Jersey, on Monday.

Before mentioning Jennifer Fessler, a friend on the show, she second-guessed whether she would have Jenn included in the mix, especially given her friendship with the other so-called team: Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs and Rachel Fuda.

Teresa continued, 'I don't know about Jenn Fessler. I mean, I like Jenn Fessler, but I guess she would have to decide.

'And I think that's it. So, it's up to Jennifer if she would want [to come back], but I like Jennifer [Jenn Fessler].'

As fans are watching season 14 unfold, Danielle Cabral is friends with both Teresa and Melissa, but after her shocking fight with Jennifer Aydin where she smashed a plastic cup in her face, it appears fans will soon see Danielle's and the Turning The Tables host's falling out.

Teresa, who has been part of RHONJ since season one, told DailyMail.com that, ultimately, it's up to Bravo to decide who's returning and who will be fired.

'Whatever Bravo wants me to do. I will do. They're the boss. Bravo's the boss,' she confessed. 'So, whatever they want, and I'm not going to walk away until they want me to walk away.'

For now, Teresa is enjoying her 'genuine' friendship with Jackie after making amends with her in a previous episode. The two have since bonded over their feuds with Margaret.

'I'm excited about that friendship because I swear, like, I'm watching it, you're watching it right now and I saw that she saw who Margaret was and she made her decision on her own,' she explained to DailyMail.com. 'It's not like I pulled her to my side and said you better be my friend. No, it was really genuine.'

Fans have commented on their reconciliation, claiming Teresa is 'using Jackie' to get her to reveal secrets about Margaret, but the mom-of-four denies it's true.

'I swear I'm not [using her]. And we just went out, the four of us on Friday night,' she spilled, referring to herself, her husband Luis 'Louie' Ruelas, Jackie and Evan Goldschneider.

'We had so much fun, and I have to say I love Evan because listen, I know I said I was wrong for what I did, and when I said sorry to him, I think he could tell that I meant it.

'And he was such a gentleman. He could have been nasty with me, and he never was.'

Teresa previously brought up cheating rumors about Evan, which is something that became a big storyline in season 11.

'If I had to redo it again, I would never say that to Jackie. I would never put that [out there],' she confessed to DailyMail.com. 'I swear, if you really know me, you would know I was only telling her so she could stop that rumor because it was out there. I wasn't trying to put it out there to start trouble.'

Fast-forward to the current season, Teresa brought up the rumor about John Fuda, Rachel's husband, being the 'biggest drug dealer in Bergen County.'

When Teresa and John attempted to hash things out during a brief get-together at a restaurant with their significant others – as seen this season – John stormed out of the room because he didn't believe Teresa's apology was genuine.

'Look at the two, Evan and John. I said sorry to Evan, look at the way Evan responded. I said sorry to John, look at the way he responded.

'Evan is my kind of guy. I am just saying he's a gentleman. And that's where you can build a friendship, obviously.'

It comes after the Real Housewives of New Jersey cancelled their season 14 reunion for the first time in program history amid cast drama.

An insider told PEOPLE, 'A reunion is meant to have resolution and it's clear in the season final that there is no path forward in that type of setting.'

'So the network is figuring out a different concept to wrap up the season,' the source familiar with the situation told the outlet.

The news comes amid boiling tensions between housewives Teresa, Melissa, Dolores, Margaret, Jennifer, Danielle, Rachel, Jackie and Jenn.

The source says the ongoing drama between the cast members is what has caused the rift that lead the RHONJ to have split panels at BravoCon for the past two years.

Another insider told PEOPLE that Bravo has yet to make a decision about RHONJ moving forward.

'Everything and anything is on the table,' the insider admitted, noting that 'all options are being discussed and nothing official about the show has been decided.'

New episodes of RHONJ air every Sunday at 8pm ET on Bravo. Only three episodes remain before the much-anticipated finale on August 4.
