This particular episode wasn't as eventful as the others, but I was still hooked. It started out with a clip from the previous episode where, Mike, "The Situation", chose to tell Ronnie that Sam was "creepin" behind his back with another guy at the club that Mike knew. Of course that turned into a blow out fight where Sam denied everything, but Ron had enough and the episode ended with them calling it quits. Jenny finds out shes going to be "exclusive" with her summer fling, Snooks "gets it in" and considers that a great way to end the summer, and Deena and Vin get into a fight where he calls her the name that no one wants to be called, ANGELINA. (Yeah, I know that sounds dumb but it was entertaining for me ha). It ended with everyone saying goodbye to each other and saying how they wished to do it again this summer.
I think that the show is really following their lives, yeah maybe some things are embellished or some fights are instigated, but its still what's going on in their lives. It's kind of sad to admit, but I enjoy watching the arguments and the crazy things they get into. They get paid to have a good time, say what's on their mind and allow people to watch it. I did feel a little bad for Deena, who was called Angelina because she got in the way of Vinny hooking up with her best friend. But other than that, I thought the episode was pretty funny.
This show appeals to me and many others because it's exactly what I wish I could be doing. I'm not shy to admit that sometimes I wish I could get paid to live in a house with fun, entertaining people, have an easy job and get paid to have a good time and make others laugh all summer. Doesn't that sound even a little appealing to you?
I feel that my role as the viewer is to continue watching what I like, and right now Jersey Shore seems to fulfill a lot of what entertains me. Theres drama, friendship, partying and a lot of things to laugh at. With out viewers like me there wouldn't be a need for the show.
Reality TV may not be the best thing to watch, but I'll fully admit its got me hooked, at least for now and I can't wait for the next season on JS.
I also love watching Jersey Shore! I haven't gotten to watch it much because I work Thursday nights but I've been trying to keep up with it! I think that it's just so funny that you can't help but watch it. It makes you laugh and makes you think that life can be a great ride!!

I totally agree! I think it'd be awesome to be PAID for making a television show about my life with other people! A lot of things are paid for and you get to meet soooo many people and just have a blast! Jersey Shore is definitely a show to watch if you're in for a good laugh!
First of all, I love your honesty. I would love to live the life that they are all getting to right now. I'd love to be on a reality t.v. show. I'd love meeting all those new people. And I'd love getting paid to just have fun and live life with no worries. I actually plan on applying for The Real World once I'm 21. I just think that the experience would be amazing in itself; getting to go to a city that you have most likely never been to before and meet five or six new people that have grew up in a different part of the country and have their own unique life story. I think the reason why we like it so much is because we wish we could live that life ourself! It makes sense when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure we all simply just want to live "vicariously" through other people...I think we someone feel gratified when we see people behaving in ways that we think we never would...drunk and disorderly, plain stupid, sexually promiscuous...what have you. Isn't it a little disturbing that we enjoy tuning in to watch other people's turmoil?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I freely admit to being a Reality TV junkie as well...
When I first saw the Jersey Shore I thought, "it's the Real World, but they don't have rules.." And I came to figure out that I am exactly right! They can hit each other, don't have to keep a job, and can get drunk every single day if they want, whereas on the Real World they tell them certain places to go. Jersey Shore definitely opened a whole new door to reality television because these people WERE normal people that went to the shore every year. It's crazy that the whole show started from "True Life: I'm a Jersey Shore Girl" in 2004!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Jersey Shore but find myself recently to have just forgotten about it because I could not stand seeing the same 4-ish plot lines continue to happen. The Ron and Sam thing is soooo overplayed but never goes away. With these shows being on, I wonder what there actual home life is like when they are not "acting". I bet some if not all have/had normal jobs/lives before this show. It would definitely be cool to see what that was like for them. Also, it would be interesting to see how there families react to the show.
