Reality Check- 'Jersey Shore' Edition by Kate Jones

Reality Check- Watching 'Jersey Shore Season 3'
I know it’s been so long, my friends. While coping with the general difficulties of being a full-time educator and part time Master’s student, I have been greatly ignoring my blogging responsibilities. However, I think I have finally figured out how to balance my many roles and can finally return to one I enjoy a lot… writing about television. I haven’t really picked up on too many new shows, but I continue to watch the old ones. So today, I’ve decided I’m going to give you a brief run down on some of the lunacy that’s been going on in reality land… and I suppose I have to start with everybody’s favorite idiots, the cast of the Jersey Shore.

3rd Season assemble and role out

"Meatballs" Snooki & Deena 

This season, we actually saw the total deterioration of the most normal Shore cast member… Vin. He went from a lovable 21-year-old just trying to get a little booty and stuck in the middle of crazy land, to a full blown, spray tanned, whore-banging, player guido (I just had to add guido to my new computer’s dictionary, thus losing a piece of my soul). It was a little sad to see him get drunk and be mean to Snooks, who, though totally insane, is kinda lovable in her meatbally kind of way.

Speaking of meatballs, we also met Deena, who is definitely an upgrade from Angelina, but doesn’t add anything to the show…we already have a meatball who falls off of bars. That being said, she seems kind of nice and fun, so she can stay around!

JWoww and her wows

JWoww finally broke up with her boyfriend Tom, after she already fell for permanent shore resident, Roger. About time no? I don’t think that the show really portrayed Tom fairly though… I mean, she cheated on him in like the first episode and the guy stayed around… wouldn’t you be paranoid about what your significant other was doing too? I mean look at Sam and Ronnie? That being said, I have never been much of a Jenny fan, but she grew on me a little bit this season. I wish her and her juicehead much luck in all their future endeavors.

Pauly D. was kind of nonexistent this season, no? Except for when him and Vin would team up and make funny jokes (denimdenimdenim, being my favorite of the season by FAR), he was kinda boring.

Also boring- the Situation! This guy really lost his mojo, no? I mean no one in the house seems to really give a crap about him and his antics anymore… and either do I.

This brings us to Ron and Sam. Now, I’m going to make a very important statement to start this off. I am not a fan of Ron OR Sam. Now I am going to make a Public Service Announcement in regards to this statement. Young women of the world, get out of your crappy abusive relationships!

I understand that Sam is immature and kind of dumb, but that is no excuse for her things to get destroyed. I understand that she won’t forgive Ron for “Miami” but it’s kind of hard to erase the picture of your man tonguing down two girls in a bar and then climbing into bed with you. I understand that she should have told Ron that she invited that funny looking dude to Karma to make him jealous, but I don’t understand why he would go so crazy that she made out with him YEARS before. She’s sneaky? Why? Because she existed before she was with that gorilla that survives only off of steroids and Xenadrine? Ron is an asshole. Plain and simple. She may be a silly young girl, but she has NO REASON to be treated the way she was. The fact that MTV tried to make her the villain in this situation makes me completely hate humanity. Either way, I can’t wait to see more Shore next season.

Recap 1 (in a while) down. I’ll be back soon with an ode to the other love of my life “Boston” Rob Mariano and Survivor: Redemption Island.

NO MORE REALITY SHOWS FROM NEW JERSEY... Please???

You know what... when I started this post, I was mad as hell. I have had enough of all these terrible ass New Jersey reality shows hitting the airwaves in the last few months. But by the end of composing the title, I realized that instead of being mad... maybe I should be nice. Beg even... Please, no more terrible Hair Do's and Fake and Bake tans... Please, Please, no more fake Soprano wannabees who would probably get knocked out if the wind blew to hard... Please, Please, Please, no more of these horrible girls that have so many STD's that they are dripping them out of their make-up clogged pores... PLEASE, WHOEVER YOU ARE PRODUCING THESE SHOWS.. I BEG YOU TO MAKE IT STOP!!!

Why am I so mad. This is why:

This is a subway poster for Oxygen's newest show, "Jersey Couture". This follows Style Networks "JerseyLicious", Bravo's "Real Housewives Of New Jersey" TLC's "Cake Boss" and most notably MTV's "Jersey Shore".... come on, What The Fuck.

First of all, Jersey is mad corny... it will always be inferior to big brother New York, and so its residents will always overcompensate for it. This makes the people on these shows even harder to stomach, especially for New Yorkers. Secondly, I'll admit that "The Jersey Shore" was kinda cool... but that because the whole cast WAS NOT FROM JERSEY. They were just on vacation there. Anyone who goes to Belmar, Point Pleasant or Seaside during the summer knows that its like being smack in the middle of a Brooklyn Block Party. The Jersey Shore as a place is dope... but the locals? Not so much... And Finally, how the fuck are the people of Jersey even being considered for style type shows about hair and clothes??? These people, especially the women, are absolute disasters. Would you want these messes doing your hair or makeup??? 

I didn't think so... Enough with New Jersey and it's trashy, lame, no style, juice head, fake tanned, caked on makeup clown faced, sexual transmittable infected mutants... doesn't anybody want to shoot a show in Michigan or North Carolina... Please!!! Thanks. I'm done now. See you at the Shore in a few months... hahahahaha!
