'Real Housewives of NJ': Teresa Giudice's cousin to come aboard, too?

Could Teresa Giudice's family be reality gold for "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"? After all, if they have Teresa's fiery personality, then they could be.
We already heard reports that Bravo crews have been shooting with Teresa's sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga. According to those reports, the two women don't get along.
Teresa has since tweeted a picture of a smiling Melissa saying, "Here's a pic of Melissa & my baby nephew Joey at the party. Neither of them are black [See "nephew nonsense" here] or not speaking to me. Hmm.."
Case closed, conspiracy theorists? Apparently not.
Now, Radaronline.com reports that Bravo has approached another of Teresa's family members: Her cousin, Katherina Wakile.
"Teresa isn't happy that her family is being asked to join the cast," a source told the site. "She feels as if her entire family is being approached to be a part of the show."
Previously, reports said that Teresa was holding out on signing on for the show's third season and Bravo was calling her bluff by approaching her sister-in-law. According to the source, Teresa has still not signed her contract for Season 3 and Bravo remains tightlipped about casting news until they officially announce it themselves.
Could this be another move on Bravo's part to get Teresa to commit?

i hope teresa,joe,
and their beautiful girls have very nice things take place in their lives,whether her sister inlaw is around or not.
Why is it so important for Teresa to prove that her relatives aren't black? If they were black would it be an issue for her?
of course it would be an issue to teresa and the rest of thoes women, you would think nj housewives was part of mayberry, have you ever seen black people on that show? No and you wont they think they are above everybody else. There is one thing for sure, if teresa had pulled on a black girl what she did on daniell, she would open up a can of whip a@@ on her and she would stop pulling thoes ape tricks.
Iam so sick of Teresa and all her Bull sh-t I hate the show now its old. They are part of the mod how come we can't fine anything on Joe and his family like parents that pay them 10k per month that is a lot of month. She is so fake.
Just keep big mouth, know it all, full of herself, "counseling" as she calls herself, lazy, Caroline and her three obnoxious, disgraceful ham throwing spoiled brat children off the show.
Not going to watch it when they are on the TV.
Bet you her cousin Velardi will be on next season.
Teresa is a piece of trash
They film interviewed Maryann Velardi and I hear that she's going to be the star cast member next season.
