Jersey Shore Star Sammi: Don't Judge Us!
Posted on Jan 01, 2010 @ 02:45PM
It may be the most controversial series now on TV but that doesn't make the stars of Jersey Shore bad people according to Samantha Giancola, one of the break-out personalities of the MTV show.

"We shouldn't judge, because everybody's their own person. I feel, as an Italian-American, I understand their ways," Sammi says. "People are what they are."
Jersey Shore has stirred up contempt from Italian-American groups who detest the way they say they are being stereotyped on the show. Several sponsors, including Domino's Pizza, have bailed. But viewers don't care. Ratings have almost doubled in just the first few episodes.
Jersey Shore is a twist of MTV's Real World with a bit of Bravo's Real Housewives thrown in for good measure.

The reality show features eight Italian-Americans sharing a Seaside Heights, NJ house for the summer.
"I feel like it's just a typical Jersey Shore place to go on vacation, Sammi adds. "There are lots of fights, hook ups, dramas."

If this is how the young Italian Americans are behaving, then their parents and community should deal with it. MTV isn't the bad guy for showing what is already going on out there. MTV just brought it to light.

I love the show and I encourage everyone else who does to not buy Domino's Pizza or Dell computers since they pulled their commercials.

Good luck with that- I can't imagine any reasonable consumer not buying a Dell because they don't want to run ads in-between this show.

This is trashy tv, with trashy acting people. Hardly the lifestyle I'd think their Italian American community would want them to show viewers how they act . The 'real' Jersey Shore people must be upset with the portrayal.

The fact of the matter is none of this cast is from the Jersey Shore. It is these very types of individuals who migrate to our shore towns & beaches with idiot attitudes that ruin it for the locals like myself. Do us a favor & stay home.

I finally tuned in due to all the controversy and I liked it so much I went to MTV.com to watch the episodes I've missed. I've been watching Real World since '91 and found this to be not much different.
