Denise & I just finished season one of Jersey Shore, a reality show about Guidos and Guidettes living in & around the Jersey Shore. It’s like The Real World but based on the subculture of Guido, which has become more & more popular over the past couple of years.
We’ve always had a love for Guidos, just because they look so silly sometimes. Guidos are over-tanned, muscular ‘juiceheads’, generally Italian, however people from other cultural backgrounds can be Guidos as well. So when we heard about this new show called Jersey Shore & how it was based on Guidos, we were pretty excited to watch it.
As you’d expect from a reality show, it was dramatic & there for entertainment instead of anything else. The kids in the house are all mainly early to mid 20s & are living the Guido lifestyle, which includes drinking & partying all night & working out at the gym, sometimes working in a t-shirt shop & basically doing nothing else. Which definitely makes for interesting television.
It’s become a bit of a phenomenon for many reasons. There has been massive amounts of backlash because of the negative portrayal of Italian-Americans, the multiple physical fights that happen on the show & the huge ratings that Jersey Shore has pulled.
So I definitely recommend that you give it a go. It’s hilarious & much better than most reality shows. Yes.
