Happy to return to the ‘Shore’
THE original housemates of MTV’s Jersey Shore are coming back to our TV screens for a reunion special.
The special series Jersey Shore: Family Vacation follows the seven original housemates as they go on holiday to Miami for a month.
They celebrate their return to the show, and cause structured chaos with the additional baggage of their evolved, personal lives.
The crew’s comeback can be viewed as the act of a group of adults who can’t let go of their youthful social life, and jump at the opportunity to return to their former lives.
The cast consists of Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Jennifer “JWoww” Farley, Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Deena Nicole Cortese.
When the group was leaving for Miami, full-time DJ Pauly D said he was excited to return to the show with the original crew.
“It’s a great feeling to be back with the family and go on vacation together.
“We’ve grown so much since the finale of our previous series, so I think it would be great for the viewers to see how the original crew have been doing, and what we’ll be up to in Miami.”
The original Jersey Shore focused on this group, who were in their twenties at the time, staying at Seaside Heights in New Jersey.
We followed them as they earned money from various social events and parties, and caused serious mayhem in the process.
The international success of Jersey Shore resulted in various spin-offs in other locations (think Geordie Shore, Warsaw Shore, Acapulco Shore, Snooki & JWoww and The Pauly D Project).
“Even though we went our separate ways and started doing different things after Jersey Shore ended, we still stayed close and never forgot we were a family,” Pauly D said.
“And I believe that’s why it was fairly easy for some of us to accept the offer to return and do what we love as a family.”
The first season of the series will also focus on the personal lives of the housemates. Catch Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, on Fridays on MTV, channel 130 on DStv.
