The Ron and Sammy Show

For my blog about reality TV I chose to watch the season finale of Jersey Shore. Personally, I've been watching it all season and I actually like the show. I don't exactly think it's real people in real situations all the time. For example, people like to see Mike "The Situation" Sammy and Ronnie get into fights and start drama. During the final episode this happens and everybody loved it. Here is a little video clip of it happening. I couldn't find the video of Mike fighting with Sammy but i found another great example of Ronnie and Sam fighting. That had to hurt. This is what people want to see. After this fight when you looked on Facebook is was what everybody was talking about. It's interesting and it makes the show. But in other episodes I feel it could be scripted or even badly played out. It always seems that there is a fight or something that shouldn't happen.
As for competition I didn't really notice any besides in the begging when Mike and Ronnie were fighting over Sammy. Sometimes Vinny and Snooki get into it and end up trying to mess with the other person but I don't see too much competition within the show. As for intelligence I don't see any at all. They do what they want, they say what they want, and they don't care. They don't need to use any smarts besides using their brains to make a good decision or not but usually that doesn't happen.
This show is all abuot sex appeal. They go out every night in the tight little outfits and try to show off all their attributed. People watch it just to see Jwoww or Sammy look good or Snooki make a fool out of herself and accidentally flash people. The three guys always do their GTL and the girls just flaunt over their bodies.
During the season finale the big issue was that while Sammy went home to get away she contacted another guy to meet up with. While one night at the club Mike found his friend and it ended up being the guy Sammy was suppose to meet. When Mike told Ronnie about this guy things started to get ugly again. Then Mike calls up this guy and he tells Ronnie that him and Sammy made out. Of course it started to get ugly but in the end everybody sat down for their last sunday meal and everything went well after.
In this reality TV show I really liked Vinny and Pauly D. They were the only people in the house that I felt weren't fake and said what was on their minds. They made the show more fun and gave everybody some good laughs. I enjoy watching this show most of the time. The only time I don't is when Ron and Sammy fight but i don't think anybody likes that. What makes the show alluring is the fact that it's funny and most of the time real. People have been through those situations before and they like to relate to the show. The role of me as the viewer would be to watch them get drunk and fall on their faces and try to find out what is going to happen next season.
