Looks like we've got a situation here! Recently, MTV announced that they have another Jersey Shore spin-off in the works - and there are some pretty iconic 2000s pop culture figures who aren't too happy about it. Here's the full scoop.
Jersey Shore 2.0 is the latest reality brainchild from MTV's head office, where they're hoping to tap into that Guido energy once again and film a group of young party lovers as they live it up on Jersey Shore's boardwalk for a summer. But for lovers of 2000s reality TV, the first installment of this idea is still fresh in our minds - from GTL (gym, tan laundry) days to iconic quotes. And it seems the cast isn't too happy about new Guidos coming in. In fact, Pauly D, Mike 'The Situation,' Snooki, J-Woww, Vinny, Deena, and Angela already banded together to share how they really feel about the upcoming reboot. And let's just say they weren't exactly fist-pumping with excitement...
"As a cast that took a chance with a network in need, we put our most vulnerable moments on television for the world to see," their joint statement read. "We gave our all over the past 13 years, became a family, and continue to open our lives for the world. So please understand that we are not in support of a version that will exploit our original show, our hard work, and authenticity to gain viewers." Rather than hype up the upcoming MTV reboot, the OG Jersey Shore crew decided to put their energy into pitching their own show, adding, "Don't forget to tune into an all-new season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation," before signing off with their latest hashtag, #WeAreJerseyShore.
