It's Jersday!

Yes, it is Thursday evening and time for another exciting night of The Jersey Shore.  It is amazing how entertaining the show can still be.  Yes, Ron and Sam continue to fight.  Yes, the guys still pick up grenades all the time.  Yes, Deena continues to fall down all the time.  But still, I watch it.  The Jersey Shore always promises to be entertaining, but how real is this reality show?


Tonight's episode is the same episode that aired on Sunday night before the VMA's.  If you saw the two episodes back to back, Crime and Punishment and And the Wall Won, did you notice how the fight scenes were edited in completely different ways depending on the episodes?  If you haven't seen them yet, make sure to catch them tonight. 


In the Crime and Punishment episode, it makes it appear that Ronnie hit the Situation so hard, he is the reason the Situation goes to the hospital.  It ends on a cliffhanger so you have to watch the next episode.  When you see the actual And the Wall Won episode, the footage is edited in a totally different way.  It is obvious that the Situation's injury is self-inflicted.  This is a good example of how reality shows edit all footage to convey whatever message they want to send.  They could have never shown us the truth and allowed us to believe Ronnie was guilty. 


The next time you watch any reality show, just remember they are creating a story for us.  You never know the whole story unless you are actually there.  We are only shown what producers want us to see.  It is all a clever story laid out before us for our entertainment.  If you ever wonder how real The Jersey Shore really is, just watch those two episodes back-to-back.  You will see how easy it is to manipulate an audience.
