In honor of Sammi (Sweetheart) recently getting married and Ronnie NOT being in attendance, which is only appropriate, let’s do a deep dive on the iconic series that competed with other reality shows on Jerzday nights and would soon become a pop culture phenomenon, from tanned bodies to famous lingo like “DTF.”

Part 1 will explore the origins of Jersey Shore, from how the cast was selected to where everyone was from and their backgrounds, to even their salaries. In part 2, I will deep dive into the complicated relationships and dynamics on the show, leading to several spinoffs and life after the Jersey Shore.

Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to leave a comment and a 5-star rating! Until the next time!
