I can't believe I spent an awful amount of time watching JS over the past few weeks. It started with me watching one episode jn one of the seasons and than Ispent many nights trying to catch up, going to bed very late and waking up grumpy..now that I've seen it all (a part from the very first and very last episodes) I feel deflated and sad....I keep googling it...pathetic I know. Please slap me in the face and make me wake up...or...come and chat to me about JS because I don't know anyone else who watches it..

I enjoy watching Jersey and Geordie shore.
A guilty pleasure I suppose. Don't feel bad.

Some people enjoy unwinding with a smoke or a glass of wine and this is how I do it. By watching brain numbing tv

YABVU it's a load of rubbish

HKat · 15/01/2013 08:23

Heh heh I got sucked into Geordie Shore during those endless nights up with dd on mat leave, after swearing blind I would never watch such rubbish-so never say never! Have weaned myself off now :)

I want to wean myself off it now but I need closure. Nayda who is your favourite character and who you like the least? Why did Jionni decided to date Snooki again after she was so unimpressed with him after the first hook up? What is wrong with Sam? What makes her take Roonie back after so much abuse? Or is she at a fault for being such a control freak and insecure? Why Mike treat women so badly? And I really didn't see what Angelina did that was so wrong to deserve everyone's hatred (but than I haven't watch the very beginning). Are Pauly and Vinny gays in the closet? Was Deena trying to imitate Snooki to get popularity or is she real? And Jenni is so rough it is unbelievable.....I need other people's opinions and than move on please!

Haha, I too was obsessed with JS a couple of years ago, but then dh didn't want to watch it any more so I was weaned off and have missed the last few seasons.

I love J Woww and Snooki. Sam is crazy and obviously very insecure. Ronnie is awful. I love Pauly D, Mike can be nice underneath it all and Vinny is quite sweet too. I didn't see any eps with Deena so dunno about her. Angelina was a stirrer and very annoying.

Wow, can't believe I wrote that much about JS! It's the only reality show I like though

I'm not joking. I have a secret desire to buy JS's T'shirts: 'Shore Store' 'Don't fall in love in the Jersey Shore' 'GTL' (to my defence I was always being drown to GTL anyway albeit real tan from the beach as I'm from a hot country). I shout to my family; 'it is T shirt time' when we need to get ready to go out' and I'm absolutely sure I will shout with pleasure 'Cab is here' next time we are waiting for a taxi. I might even start walking dd with a 'Yeah wake up yeah!'.

But I spent my youth by the beach with crazy summer holidays and for 6 years of my life I shared house with so many other students at UNI, I guess me watching JS is like revisiting my youth. It wanst anything near JS though even tough I had a kind of Ronnie of my own

Wishfulmakeupping · 15/01/2013 11:35

Love the situation when he was a hardcore shitstirer he was at his best :) agree about Angelina didn't think she was that bad they all hated snooki a lot more at first
BUT think Geordie shore is bigger and better than jersey they've took it to another level its shocking

Kalisi · 15/01/2013 11:40

Yadnbu I absolutely, unashamedly love it
Jersey Shore Shark Attack on the other hand is a work of genius in it's own right. I demand you all watch it.

I didn't know what JS is until I saw The Situation on big brother. I'm not into GS or others from the UK, I guess Im$ fascinated by the American programs and watching them transports me to there iyswim. Wacthing British reality TV is not a 'real' scapism for me I guess. But I like other British programs.

I tried to watch Shark Attack but I didn't 'get' it. ?? Might give it another go. Kalisi, answer my questions upthread...

Kalisi · 15/01/2013 12:57

It's just a total pisstake of Jersey Shore really, Don't get me wrong it is a terrible film but it knows it and that is why I love it
The boys are all pretty likeable I think, except maybe Ronnie who is a 'roid raging psycho! Pauly D is def my favourite. MY fav girl was JWow until she fucked her face up and didn't do a lot after that. The girls are all as bad as each other really in terms of bitchiness and no I don't think Angelina was that bad. I can't be bothered to answer the rest lol

OneSliceOfSwissCheese · 15/01/2013 13:03

YANBU. It's one of my guilty pleasures. I've got a real soft spot for Snooki. But I can't understand why Gianni took her back, proposed and had a baby with her. Me and DH love it but are totally shocked by the antics of the housemates. Especially the boys bringing girls back and shagging them while the other guys are in the same room!

I can't believe it's all over now :(

I thought Jianne just wanted to become famous but apparently he is not into celebrity lifestyle....Snooki said on the show that he had small dick, didn't do a great smush and she would rather have a tall gorilla or Vinny. She cheated on him with Deena!!! He must love her very much.

I guess the problem with Angelina was that she wouldn't very often admit she was wrong and apologise. All the other house mates would back off of a bad situation, apologise even if it was a fake apology and pretend it was all OK. And they would make sure they had someone to cover their back. Angelina attacked everybody at the same time , she is the dumbest of them all. But obviously I need to go and watch the beginning because I started from the day Snooki was punched in the face and everyone was nice to her from than on. I didn't know she was hated before.

I haven't watched the newest ones, Snooki's pregnant isn't she? I stopped watching it when they used Snooki getting punched in the face as advertisements.
