OK, fess up—who's watched this?

I watch it.

I've watched part of an episode I don't have the patience for it. I grew up about 15minutes away from where it's filmed so while I guess this is entertaining for some, to me it's June-August at home. People like the cast on this show are the ones that give New Jersey the dirty, trashy stereotype and they aren't even from the state.

What surprised me is that Seaside Heights has been trying to market itself as family friendly and the show is completely contrary to that.

The show is entertaining the same way a lot of reality tv is entertaining dumb people behaving badly.

I watched it and that was the first and last time!!!!!!:rolleyes:

I watched it but ended up fast forwarding through a lot of the first episode. I was really only interested in the bar scenes since I've been to bars in Belmar (also on the Jersey Shore). They're pretty boring to watch and definitely trying too hard to be Italian. Who really says "salute" every time they toast or take shots? I'm Italian and know a lot of other Italians (including ones from Jersey) and I'd laugh at someone if they did that.

I watch this show on a reg.



Now after I've blown y'alls minds the reason is this: I'm kind of a masochist. This show makes me hate life and I like that. It drives me completely crazy but I can't stop watching.

Not surprised that a fratty would be watching to point and laugh, but ... wow. So you can actually make it through a whole episode full of gel, spray tan, and fist pumping?

I watch it because my ex boyfriend would fit in quite well on this show. And then I'm reminded of him and I laaaaugh and laaaaugh.....

Not from NJ but Italian (dad's off the boat), and we say "salud" when we toast. Then again, half the conversation at family gatherings is in Italian anyway.

PS I haven't seen the show but saw clips on TMZ.

You mean the tanned ones?

Other than that, I'm used to various ethnicities being darker than I am. :)

Don't get me started.

Oh yeah, I made a couple of posts in the "what do you feel like saying now" thread the other day. I felt like the lone GCer who has seen it. :p

I watch it. Are there people who really act like this???? I'm guessing this group is just playing it up for the cameras - right?

This show makes me want to cry for humanity.
