What’s the point of a reality show when the Paparazzi tell us what happens in advance?

June 1st, 2011

It should come as no surprise to readers of this blog that I am a fan of Jersey Shore (see all of my Jersey Shore posts here). As you may know, the Seaside Octet is filming the newest season in Florence, Italy. As I eagerly await the premier in July, I already know about a number of the major plot arcs. Snooki got into a car accident and got her drivers license revoked. Ronnie beat the crap out of the Situation, but they made up. Some University of Florida Co-Eds hook up with cast members. Etc.

So I must ask, what’s the point of a reality show if I already know what’s going to happen? Sure, I’ll probably still watch Jersey Shore, but the paparazzi are taking a lot of the fun and surprise out of the show.

OK, back to thinking about important things like the Constitution and the like.
