EVERY time I click her live or tried to listen to the podcast she complains about the Jersey Shore cast...and how none of them were the real shore crowd like her
The show's about strangers being in a shore house there, idk why you're mad if it's not personal
Pauly himself is from 4 hours away it was more about the location than them repping Jersey but she always gets into the "EYE was the real jersey girl none of us ever saw them there but Deena" that's cause half the cast isn't from Jersey
I get a lot of Jersey people feel the prideful and don 't like how J shore represents Jersey but it's not that deep they just happened to have their show go big
It wasn't just Jersey Shore. You gotta remember that at the time when they were airing Jerseylicious & Jersey Shore, they were also airing Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jersey Couture, Jersey Belle & My Big Friggin Wedding. Eventually South Park did a spoof of all the Jersey mania (which if anyone hasn't seen, please do so - it's hilarious). The problem Jerseyites had was how the media was portraying New Jersey as a bunch of dumb, big haired, loud mouthed, gawdy dressed Italian ho's hooked with dumb, beefcake musclehead guido's.
I don't think Tracy's problem with the Jersey Shore cast was necessarily how they weren't true Jerseyites. I think its pure jealousy that they were favored by the public over JL. I think in her head she thought that Jerseylicious was gonna be on air for as long as the Simpsons have. But that didn't happen. Even before the Style Network tanked, JL's ratings were dropping. Why do you think they were grasping for straws for new storylines? Anthony Robert vs. Filly. Anthony Robert vs. Cathy Giove. Tracy & Krystal vs. Olivia & Miguel.
People responded better to the Jersey Shore. The cast brought more personality to the table than JL. All those little catch phrases:
Cabs R Here. M.V.P. Awkward. GTL - gym, tan, laundry. The shirt before the shirt. Generades.
The viewers ate it up. They had the ratings & they had all sorts of spinoffs. No one can say that about Jerseylicious. And that just eats her ass up.
