‘Jersey Shore’ season two
I thought it was over. For weeks, I’d avoided the show, but something told me I had to at least take a peek at “Jersey Shore.” I had no idea who my friends were talking about, and thought immediately that interventions were going to be necessary. Of course, after a while I just felt that I’d invested so much time already, I had to see it through.
After the finale aired, I was relieved that this show, which violates the 8th amendment’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments, was finally over. However, “Jersey Shore” season two is on the table — and it’s going to happen, with or without Snooki and The Situation. It appears talks regarding the “Jersey Shore” season two salaries for the current cast are getting a lot more tense than a tax debt negotiation settlement. As cast members hold out for more money, MTV says they can take it or leave it.
The replacements
I have read that so far today, the cast was offered $ 5,000 per episode and turned it down flat. MTV offered - way more than these chimps deserve - $ 10,000 per episode, and they still aren’t accepting it. It doesn’t look like they’re going to get offered another penny. Any cast members who accept the current offer will be signed, and the others will be sent on their way.
It’s possible, if the group decides to stick together, that the “Jersey Shore” season two cast will be entirely different. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that an MTV executive said:
“Finding obnoxious, pushy, trash-talking idiots who want to be on TV is as easy as falling off a log.”
And that executive is exactly right. In fact, when I first heard of “Jersey Shore” I assumed that it would include a different group of self-proclaimed guidos and guidettes each season, kind of like “Real World.” Honestly, they get more than they deserve anyway, and MTV should offer them half - of nothing. People will still watch, even if there’s a different set of ridiculous nicknames and big mouths involved.
