Report: Snooki and the Situation to Be 'Phased Out'
Are the two reality stars no longer wild enough for 'Jersey Shore'?
Of the many insults hurled at "Jersey Shore's" two most famous residents, not wild enough sounds more like a compliment. But with Snooki preggers and the Situation in rehab, TMZ reports that producers are concerned their show will "lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge."
Bing: More about 'Jersey Shore'
So their screen time will be limited when the reality show begins filming its sixth season this summer, replaced by "newer, wilder castmates" (read: younger people more willing to fall down stairs and pee on the floor).
"Folding in new castmates will help transition the show into a new generation," the report quotes an unnamed source, "while still keeping old fans hooked."
Would you watch "Jersey Shore" without its two biggest traffic accidents?
I hope they both saved some of their money, because this should be the end of the line for them. Can't imagine that they will ever work in TV again. Of course I thought the same thing about some of the other rejects they keep bringing back.
I agree with the Kardashian thing....I still don't get why they are famous, or why people watch their show.
yes they all act like a-holes and yes they probably all should be regularly checked for STDs, but the show is a big time success, its HUGE! millions of people tune in every thursday night for the new episode and even those who claim that they have never watch it (who btw are probably lying) are leaving comments and reacting to this news. if people are still watching it and still talking about it why would they ever stop it? especially if they can easily find another Snooki and Mike "The Situation" and a lot more kids that are crazier.
I find Jersey Shore very entertaining and I am SO GLAD they are doing another season!!! yipppieeeee :)
Also I love all the castmates and I would be very sad if Snooki and Mike were replaced! I would still watch it thought but it wouldnt be the same!
Jersey shore is the **** thats why they have done so many seasons! I loveee them allllll! no matter how crazy they are. JERSEY SHORE JERSEY SHOREEEE all the wayyy!!!
FWIW: I agree that "Jersey Shore" is a waste of space. But having said that, this show is MTV's highest rated program among teenagers which is a much sought-after demographic for advertising. I know, kids should probably not be watching this junk but that's MTV's target and they've hit it well. It's a cartoon-like train wreck of mature themes aimed at a not-so-mature audience. Sad but true and is a running testament to most of so-called "reality TV". Snooki & Sitch's replacements will undoubtedly be louder, more self-absorbed and twice-as-obnoxious clones of a type. You can make book on that.
