Farewell Jersey Shore

American fans said goodbye to its latest sinful addiction: Jersey Shore. The MTV reality series said farewell to its viewers last night with its season finale, and cast reunion shortly following.

The show followed eight (which quickly changed to seven after Angelina Pivarnick was kicked off) twenty-something year olds, who lived for fist pumping, partying, fighting, tanning, hooking up and being obnoxious. These self-proclaimed “guidos” certainly made a name for themselves with their antics and pure entertainment.

In the season finale, the cast members parted ways. Ronnie Magro and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola still remain together after the show, as shared with viewers on the reunion. Pauly Delvecchio still keeps his blow out intact, which takes 25 minutes a day to spruce up. Mike Sorrentino, better known as “The Situation” was famous for hooking up (or at least trying) with numerous women. Jenni “Jwow” Farley, who attended Columbia High School (crazy right?) kept her tough girl exterior throughout the show, and even managed to deck “The Situation” in the face. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi said she battled an eating disorder, but nonetheless, she kept the house feeling alive. Vinny Guadagnino was the only guy in the house who didn’t follow the GTL (gym, tanning, laundry) rule.

They all certainly were their own characters, which made the show entertaining, as degrading as it may be. Whether you liked the show or not, ratings were phenomenal. The show gave reality TV a whole new meaning, which generates the question, will there be a second season? With the first season being such a hit, why not?
