The Kardashians return and Does Sammi leave the Jersey Shore?

Last Sunday marked the return of the Kardashians with the season premier of Kourtney and Kim take New York, another Kardashian spin off.  The show ruled Sunday night cable ratings with 3 million viewers according to eonline.com.  But will it be as hot as Kourtney and Khole take Miami?  After watching the first episode, I'm going to say no.  I like the show, I'm not going to lie, but I feel like when one of the Kardashian sisters is missing, the show is missing something in general, especially since it's Khole that isn't present on the show.  Khole is like the comedy part of the Kardashians for me while Kourtney is being a mom/wife and Kim is awkwardly trying to date I have little to laugh about.  I'll still tune in every Sunday because I love the Kardashians but in the mean time, I'll patiently be waiting for the return of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Every week I think there is no possible way that the Jersey Shore will be funnier than last week.  I have yet to be correct about this thought.  This past Thursday's episode was particularly funny between the premier of the "Grenade Whistle," Pauly and Mike's facial expressions when the whistle is being sounded and Vinny inviting Sammi and Ron to Ryder's Birthday before Sammi punches Ron in the face.  When I try to explain to my Dad why I watch this show, I have realized I do not come up with a better answer than because it's funny.  I mean truly I don't tune in for the story lines (is there any on this show?) or the amazing camera work, I watch this show every Thursday with missing one episode because it is hilarious. 

Back to the show though, if you haven't watched yet and you don't want to know what happened, do not keep reading! =]

I think MTV had everyone fooled  this week because by the looks of the promo, Sammi was going home.  But, after punching Ron in the face for being friends with Jenni, and realizing how psychotic she has been acting lately (I mean who can really blame her after what happened in Miami?) she apologizes to Ron and Jenni.  It looks like the family is back together, how cute! =]

Good-Bye Jersey, Hello ITALY?!

In case you missed the big announcement by MTV this week, Jersey Shore season four will be taped in Italy!  http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1656616/Jersey-Shore-Italy.jhtml
Jersey Shore has been dominating cable TV ratings so it's not a surprise that the network would pick it up for a fourth season, but to head across the world to the land of their ancestors was a pretty big surprise.  MTV caught up with Pauly D, the Shore's resident DJ and he stated he felt "nervous" because he's not familiar with the language, gym or tanning of Italy.  http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1656692/jersey-shore-italy.jhtml
The fourth season of Jersey Shore will start filming in the Spring and air sometime later this year according to MTV.

Why follow reality with me?

Hi everyone!
It seems these days you can't turn the TV on without seeing at least one reality show right?  Well I'm here to tell you why YOU should tune in every week to some of TVs guiltiest pleasures. 

Remember the days of Laguna Beach?  That's where my love for reality TV first began and a big reason as to why I tune into MTV and E! every week to see what the new pop culture phenomenon of the week is.  Who would have ever thought shows like the Jersey Shore and Teen Mom would not only boast some of MTV's highest ratings but also give people someone new to obsess about or follow on Twitter?  I'll be here every week to tell you what you missed and why you should or shouldn't catch the next episode! 

I'll be following shows such as The Bachelor, Teen Mom 2, Kourtney and Kim take New York and the Jersey Shore besides maybe a few new shows I'll test out from time to time.  Don't forget to check back everyone!
