Bringing ‘The Situation’ To MTV NZ

Media release
For immediate release

NZ Get Ready… Jersey Shore Is Bringing ‘The Situation’ To MTV NZ!

Snooki, JWWOW, DJ Pauly D, Ronnie, Sweetheart, Vinnie, Angelina and ‘The Situation’ come to our shores with their tanning beds; press on nails, hair gel and totally ‘into themselves’ attitude.

The seaside fist-pumping, open-shirt wearing, bling-blinging self proclaimed ‘guidos’ and ‘guidettes’ in Jersey Shore are coming to MTV NZ in March.
Jersey Shore is a reality show that follows eight Italian- American housemates spending their summer on the New Jersey Shore, capturing all the action as they live, work and party-it-up. Think Sopranos meets Laguna Beach; this is a reality show that has got balls!

“It’s a runaway American dream where the highway’s jammed with broken guidos on a last-chance hair-gel drive” Rolling Stone January 2010
The girls know how to fight while the men all try to out-vain each other with their lip gloss, hair gel, tans and muscle shirts. The girls have a rather refreshing view on body image - preferring to sink beer and eat Doritos than stress out about being a size zero. The difference between the girls in Jersey Shore and MTV’s The Hills is that the Jersey girls have each others backs, these ‘guidettes’ will kill for one another.

The popularity of the season was witnessed when the finale of Jersey Shore rated higher than The Jay Leno Show, averaging 4.834 million viewers (Nielson).
So tune in and check out why this show has incensed sponsors and politicians while becoming an overwhelming hit with the masses!
