GTL Lifestyle (The Jersey Shore)

The Jersey Shore series seen on MTV is important in pop culture because they show the life of partying, fighting, relationship problems and working. Now days a lot of people in America are dealing with those four things, so they can somewhat relate to this show. The Jersey Shore first came out almost two years ago on December 3, 2009. This show has been building over the years, they’ve made four seasons already in different areas of the world. The Jersey Shore is a reality TV series that shows you how Italian people from New Jersey live their life. This show very well supports the stereotype in society because they show the lifestyle of a “Guido” and “Guidette” which is an Italian person who wears tight clothing, mostly likely from the East Coast like New York or New Jersey.

The Jersey Shore is about eight random strangers being brought into a summer house in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The Jersey Shore series brought together Angelina, Ronnie, Vinny, Mike “The Situation”, Jenny “J Woww”, Nicole “Snooki”, Samantha “ Sammi Sweetheart” and Pauly D. The first two seasons Angelina was in the house and for the 3rd & 4th season Angelina was off the show and there was a new roommate to the show named Denna. Their life during the summer mainly revolved around drinking, partying, working, relationships and the drama that comes in and out of the show. In the end they’re all brought together like one big family. The guys on the show go by a saying they call “GTL” which stands for Gym, Tanning, Laundry because that’s what most of them do. The show is very entertaining and funny to watch because of all the crazy things they do.

Throughout the show Ronnie and Sam have been dating on and off. It caused a lot of tension and drama in the house because they would argue all the time, so the other roommates in the house would get into it since they’re trying to help Ronnie and Sammie out. Towards the end of season two in Miami there was a lot of drama going on between Sammi, Jenny and Nicole because Jenny and Nicole wrote an anonymous letter to Sammi about Ronnie and what he’s done as in cheating and doing stuff behind her back. The other roommates eventually found out that it was Jenny and Nicole who wrote the note, Sammi felt betrayed by them because they were best friends in the house until this happened. The drama was left in Miami and the starting of the third season the drama continued between the girls leading to a fight between Sammi and Jenny.

I don't find it important to pop culture because its all non sense. Everything is scripted and it yes it shoes the importance of relationships, but its wrong to be scripted meaning what people see is just all lie, and people should not rely on it. I like to watch the show, but I do not look forward on getting anything from it.

I think this show is based on how the real life is. Even though its just a "show" and there actors it bases on our day to day life we live. I like how you explained the show drama.
