Blog #7
I have to first start off by saying this weeks blog prompt annoyed me. I do not enjoy watching reality TV and hate when i have to. I woke up this morning and put on the Jersey Shore, so i could evaluate the show. At the end of the show i found myself asking why the hell people even watch the damn program. Being a New Jersey resident my whole life it disturbs me to think that people actually think people from NJ act like that. In the episode I watched Ronnie, Jenny, Sam, Mike, Nicole, Deena and Vinny spend their entire time at the Seaside boardwalk or drinking their bodies away at the clubs. In watching i saw the episode where Ronnie drinks too much and begins to bleed from his "ass" (the term they used in the show). How can someone enjoy watching these New Yorker Guido's drinking themselves to anal bleeding? In the end i didn't feel as if i gained a damn thing from watching Jersey Shore, except I now know that Deena ( Who is from my hometown) is a complete slut who has no regard for morals. I cannot fathom how anyone enjoys watching this show, my disgust is probably because im a NJ native who knows that people in my state dont act like this. As far as my role as a viewer i believe my role was to lose brain cells, because the Jersey Shore just does not do it for me.

is it sad that I know exactly what episode you are talking about? I agree with you about how people there don't act like that. You have this group of people "representing" New Jersey when in reality they aren't even from there.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you I’m not a Jersey Shore fan at all and if I was from New Jersey I’d be ticked people were betraying me my state like that. I really never thought that I watch reality TV till I thought about Cake Boss I do like that show but because I learn things. I’m not sure what you could learn from Jersey Shore and many other reality TV shows.
ReplyDeleteI know which episode you are talking about and even though I enjoy the show I did think that Ron's problem was disturbing. Growing up right outside of Jersey I know that people don't act like that and that these people on the show is really exaggerated. I feel like the fans of this show, myself included, finds it entertaining because these people do the most outlandish things that we personally would never do.
ReplyDeleteWow there is a lot of passion behind this post. I definitely agree with everything you said but I don't have the same perspective since I am not from New Jersey. But I'm glad to hear that people from New Jersey aren't all like that. I agree that the show is completely frustrating to watch and not at all enjoyable. But even though the people are over dramatic about everything and very hardcore about their lifestyles, is the reason the show has become so popular because people enjoy making fun of the characters rather than looking up to them or wanting to emulate them?
