The Real Housewives of New Jersey might have just made the decision to fire Teresa Giudice as there lead star, but it seems like they are having some trouble replacing her. While the show is one of the most popular of the franchise, it doesn't seem like any affluent Jersey women want to take over the position left open by the felon. Bravo has been in the process of casting new ladies to join the show but not even money could get some of these high-class housewives to join the show after the legal woes that Giudice has been dealing with.

According to Radar Online, Bravo is trying to revamp the series to make it look more like one of their classier cities.

"After the seedy drama surrounding Teresa Giudice, production really wants to class up the franchise," a source explained to the news site. "They're looking for someone like Lisa Vanderpump from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." 

The casting is reportedly looking at materialist things, such as cars and fancy houses, to see if the woman will be a good fit for the show.

"Mercedes? BMW? That's not at all what they're looking for," the insider explained. "They want someone who drives even more expensive cars than those. Think Bentley. They also want someone who has a huge house."

However, according to People the show has already found a new cast, as a new family has reportedly already been casted.

"The network wasn't happy with last season," an insider explained. "They want a new vibe with fresh Jersey faces."

The premiere date for the new season has yet to be announced.
