Mother & Daughter vs Husband & Wife: What Competing Together Really Does
About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with Gia and Teresa Giudice to unpack their unforgettable journey on Special Forces. From the intense physical and mental challenges to the deep bond that carried them through, Teresa and Gia share what it was really like competing side by side and what it was like for Gia to ultimately take home the win with Shawn!!
They open up about how the experience affected their relationship and the strength it takes to push past limits under pressure. Beyond the show, the conversation dives into the Giudice family- where everyone is now, what they’re up to, and how they’ve grown through the years in the public eye.
We hope you love it!!
