Changes will officially be afoot in The Garden State.
At least when it comes to reality television.
Amid a great deal of controversy when it comes to The Real Housewives of New Jersey this season, along with complaints over boredom and the behavior of certain cast members, Andy Cohen dropped quite a bombshell this week.

The producer said a whole new cast may be chosen for Season 15.
On a recent episode of Andy Cohen Live on SIrius XM, the star took a call from an extremely disgruntled fan named Joanne who was sick to death over ongoing show storylines — and who basically demanded a change.
“Alright, well yes, we are rebooting the show. We’re going to reboot it. We’re going to do something different,” Cohen said in response, later adding:
“We’re gonna see what we do. We’ll see. I don’t know. Maybe just all fresh faces? Maybe. We’ll see.”
Bravo did actually do this route last year with The Real Housewives of New York City, replacing all main cast members with newbies.

The latest season in New Jersey, meanwhile, has been a mess.
There won’t be a regular reunion, for starters, due to the state of cast relations.
We’ve also heard that filming ended in violence, as Danielle Cabral is rumored to hurl a glass pitcher at Jennifer Aydin after the latter says something negative about Nate Cabral.
In general, most viewers believe there’s been far too much drama on Season 14 and not enough humor … and that the feuds themselves have grown increasingly stale.

The person who called in to complain to Cohen said she does not want to see Teresa Giudice leave the series, but there’s been talk that no one is safe.
Yes, even Giudice may be fired.
To be clear, however, nothing has actually been finalized or decided, according to People Magazine.
But if we were Giudice?
Or if we were Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, Jackie Goldschneider and/or Jenn Fessler?
We may not feel overly comfortable about our status heading into Season 15.

This past season saw the ladies split into two factions:
On one side, there was Gorga, Josephs, Fuda, Cabral and Jennifer Fessler.
And on the side, there was Giudice, Aydin and Goldschneider.
Catania somehow managed to get along with everyone.
Previously, Cohen has said a “rebrand” was possible, saying on an episode of Andy Cohen Live this month:
“We’re gonna figure something out. We’re gonna figure something out. We are all on the same page about that.”
