These reflections from Gia come on the heels of her victory in Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, a competition she participated in with her mother, Teresa Giudice, and fellow Bravo personalities like Eva Marcille and Brittany Cartwright.

During her appearance on the November 30 episode of the Plan Bri podcast, Gia shared her thoughts on Next Gen NYC, stating, “Season one was good. Um, not my favorite.”

When probed about why the first season didn’t rank as her favorite, she explained, “I think maybe I didn’t give enough, I don’t know, but I want to say that I did because a lot of what was filmed didn’t make it to the screen.”

When asked why it wasn’t her favorite, she responded, “I think they, maybe I didn’t give enough, I don’t know, but I wanna say that I did because also a lot was filmed that wasn’t shown.”

Regarding specifics, she shared, “They kind of played this narrative that I was commuting back and forth from Jersey, and it was so exhausting, and it was like such a pain in the a**, and like ‘oh, I have to go back and forth to the city,’ and it’s like why would you do that?”

Gia then said, “Making it seem like I’m complaining about my work. I’m like, ‘No, I’m actually so grateful to work.’” She went on, “And I’m in the city all the time because that is work, and this is what I have to do.”

The conversation continued, and Gia explained another thing about Next Gen NYC season one that bothered her. She said, “Then they just didn’t dive into my work life, which really bothered me. Like, I had this huge Vince Camuto campaign that I did. They filmed the entire thing, and you literally blink your eye, and the scene’s over. They literally just show a picture of me walking out of the restaurant.”

Season two of Next Gen NYC is expected to premiere in 2026.
