The Jersey Shore Family Vacation

(Photo via The Jersey Shore IG) 

I was a HUGE fan of the reality tv show "The Jersey Shore". My Thursdays turned into Jerzdays for six seasons. I was hooked. 

All good things must come to an end. I thought the series should have ended in Italy, but the producers decided to squeeze one more sad season on the boardwalk. 

All but one original cast member, Sammi Sweetheart declined. She says she is in a healthy relationship and didn't want Ron drama ruining it. Good call Sammi. Ron has a baby on the way, but he's acting like single Ron, and talking A LOT about Sammi. Hmm... 

Nicole and Jenn are married with children. Deena is married and Vinnie and Mike both have serious girlfriends. Pauly is the only single cast member. 

No spoilers, but even though years have passed, everyone is pretty much the same, except for one MAJOR change. PLASTIC SURGERY. I was distracted during the entire premiere looking at Nicole's terrible lip injections. Everyone has had way too much botox. It's sad. There comes a time when you have to look in the mirror and know you have gone from naturally attractive to some plastic wax person. 

I'll still watch, but my hope will be the cast will read the thousands of comments and realize enough is enough!! 

Looking forward to Jerzdays,

The Jersey Shore...

Last weekend I had the best conversation with an Italian man. An absolutely gorgeous, single Italian man...Okay, I'm back. Somehow the show "Jersey Shore" was brought up. He told me that the show was an embarrassment to their culture and real Italians hate it. The term guido is a slur, a bad word. Not something to be proud of in any way.

I had heard rumors of this, but had never taken the time to actually listen to the reasons why. Watching "Jersey Shore" is one of my guilty pleasures. I look forward to MTV at 10:00 pm on Thursdays. I start posting *fist pump* on Facebook and #tshirttime on Twitter hours before the show starts. Snooki and JWoww are my girls. I want to do inappropriate things with DJ Pauly D. Now I have a little bit of a conscience. Am I feeding into the stereotypes? Am I part of the problem?

I will still continue to watch, but I'm watching informed. Thanks to S. Who by the way made last weekend fantastic, but that's another blog for another day. Maybe :).

Ciao,
Monica
