The show everybody loves to hate is back. The first episode of the MTV show “Jersey Shore” season three premiered at 10 p.m. Thursday and according to the Associated Press, the season’s first episode was the most widely watched episode in the history of MTV.
People who have not seen the show have most likely have seen the side effects of it, which include fist pumping and the widely-used phrases “GTL” and “grenade.” All of the roommates from seasons one and two are back, except for Angelina, who left the show halfway through both the first and second seasons. Angelina, it seems, is gone for good. Her replacement is Deena Nicole Cortese, a short and sassy dental assistant who looks strikingly like a tanned gremlin. Deena is apparently a good friend of Nicole “Snookie” Pollizzi, and judging by her actions in the first episode—starting a fight and getting naked all within her first few hours in the house—she will fit right in with the other cast members.
Despite the slight change in the cast, “Jersey Shore” fans will not be disappointed with season three. The first episode and the season sneak preview show that this season promises to be even more drama-filled than the previous ones, full of cat fights, break-ups and drunken arguments. The general premise of the show is the typical reality MTV show. It started off by bringing complete strangers, who are not famous at all, and giving them too much alcohol and cameramen to film their every move. This particular show began by taking eight people from either New Jersey or New York and bringing them all to live in a house on the Jersey coast for the summer. The thing that makes “Jersey Shore” different from other reality roommate shows is the absolute ridiculousness of each cast member. Each person on the show is abnormally tan, loud and really not that good looking. Even their nicknames are bizarre, such as “The Situation,” “Snookie” and “J-Woww.” The thing that all of these people have in common is the overuse of hairspray, protein powder and silicone.
“Jersey Shore” proves MTV can make just about anyone famous. It is also the TV show responsible for making people think it is okay to fist pump while dancing. Anyone who likes trash TV and reality shows will love “Jersey Shore” because it has everything a good reality show should have, including sex, fights and alcohol.
