The Situation will eventually cave in and come begging to be back on the show, and they'll pay him in tanning bed sessions and HGH.
There needs to be more people like the cast of Jersey Shore.. This is a breakthrough in modern culture and can change history... I would like to thank the Italians for giving us such great things in life, Scorsese, Deniro, Pizza, The Sopranos, Spaghetti, Stallone, Jay Leno, the list goes on and on...
10K an episode is pennies compared to what MTV gave the "stars" of The Hills. The castmembers have a point, and they should hold out for longer. I won't be interested if MTV replaces all of them, because I know that the replacements will all be fake. The cast members made this show popular.
So don't. Nobody's making you watch it. I'm not a fan of MTV either but Jersey Shore is gold. The Situation deserves his own TV show if all else with Jersey Shore fails. That guy is pure ratings. My hero.
Never seen it. But I have laughed my butt off at all the comedic lampooning it has gotten in the press.
I was too young to watch The Real World 1 but I highly doubt the cast members were as over the top as The Situation, Pauly D, Snookie etc. I am positive that the replacements will be 100% imitators. Plus, The Real World sucks now and has sucked for a long time.
Oh you kids. The Real World set the precedent for this show. Of course they weren't over the top, in fact, they were NORMAL people. MTV captured lightning in a bottle though, when they realized that putting several sociopaths in a house together (that appeal to every demographic imaginable) with nothing to do was entertainment gold.
Real World 1 was actually very similar as Jersey Shore. First of all it was very short, like a couple of weeks worth of footage. But you had some major assholes on that show as well. The Grind dude was on the first real world, and he was this underwear model from New Jersey (I think he was jewish instead of italian but basically the same guido type) who was always macking on girls. And there was this crazy angry black brother who had these pop out bug eyes whenever he was talking about racism who would argue with EVERYONE about it including a female rapper who was on the cast as well. There were fistacuffs etc as well, and it was as big as the jersey shore is now, with the exception that the Internet did not exist yet and therefore no blogs (although usenet message boards did exist) Incidentally, one of the dudes' father was a longtime NBA ref. I remember this because they go to a game on one episode and the guido dunks on a 8 foot rim as if it's regulation
Why is the real world so unwatchable. They put the same frat boys and girls in that show. Without a guy called the situation how entertaining would jersey shore have been?
That is my point entirely. It started tame, and every season of every MTV reality show has tried to get more and more ridiculous and over the top, especially with casting. For every situation, there's another 10 situations ready to step into that situation.
I usually hate the hell out of MTV shows but Jersey Shore had something special. I don't know what it was. I just felt like The Situation was really going to **** a good looking girl and then he didn't. Honestly I would watch again if they bring only The Situation, Snookie and JWoww back, JWoww had the funniest moment of the show (other than Snookie getting clocked in her b**** face) when she started orgasming at the roid-heads on the beach.
