Jersey Shore: Other Reality Shows The Cast Should Join

While there are rumors that the Jersey Shore cast may film a second season this summer, chances are that it would never be as good as what we've been watching over the past couple months. Now that the cast is famous (at least by reality TV standards), there is no way that they could go out to a club without getting noticed, and worse yet, they will be much more gun shy about punching strangers for fear of getting sued for their newfound wealth. Plus, all vestiges of authentic behavior would evaporate as the cast manufactured drama strictly for the cameras - kind of like what happened after the first season of the now all-but-completely fake The Hills. But with that said, our lives would be emptier without these self-professed Guidos and Guidettes, so here are our suggestions for other reality shows that each Jersey housemate could join.

JWoww on Project Runway
The show needs some more interesting personalities and since she's already got her own line of clothing in the works, PR could be the vehicle she needs for her carefully crafted torn shirts to become international sensations. If Ping didn't get sent home for sending a model down the runway with her ass hanging out, and Mitchell could send someone down in a see-thru sheath, then JWoww's designs would look practically tasteful in comparison. But if that doesn't pan out, she could do infomercials for her own bizarre and unhealthy diet instead.

Angelina on The Bad Girls Club
She's obnoxious, self-centered, supremely bitchy and not pretty enough to be a model, so she would fit right in on this show. She might not be the type to instigate an arms-flailing, hair-weave-yanking throwdown, but you can be sure that the minute she walked through the front door with her trash-bag luggage, the smack talk from the other girls would lead to the first of many entertaining fights.

Vinny on Keeping Up With the Kardashians
Vinny loves being part of a big, crazy, family, so why not try a few weeks with the Kardashian clan? Between plenty of ethnic pride, a nosy matriarch, and what seems to be an endless supply of booze, this 21-year-old party boy from Staten Island would feel right at home on the West Coast. Plus, there would be at least one hot sister he could potentially hook up with... though Reggie Bush is a bit more intimidating than The Situation.

Pauly D. on Bromance
Speaking of the sprawling Jenner/Kardashian blended family, we'd love to resurrect Brody's Bromance show specifically so that Pauly D. could become Brody's best buddy. He's the ultimate wingman: always happy to hang out with 3's and 4's (and even grenades) so that his pal can get laid. He'd probably also be cool with taking Brody's shirts to the dry cleaners and would offer to share his ample supply of hair gel. That's man's true best friend.

Sammi on Real Housewives of New Jersey
We refuse to call this boring, whiny girl a sweetheart and we'd like to see the one actual Jersey resident in the house try and hold her own with the state's Real Housewives. She's got secrets galore that Dina would just devour and exploit at every opportunity, Carolyn would eat her for breakfast and spit her back out and there would be plenty of spoiled-girl face-offs between her and Teresa. Let the table flipping commence.

Ronnie on Real World/Road Rules Challenge
Even though he wasn't on Real World or Road Rules, Jersey Shore is the next best thing and the Real World/Road Rules Challenge is due for a new name anyway. How about MTV Reality Whore Challenge? It's got a nice ring to it. We want Ronnie on this show not just for his big muscles, but because watching both him and CT punching things (people, cactuses, each other) would be the best thing ever. With CT in his footie jammies and Ronnie in his Ed Hardy knockoff tee, it would be pure TV magic.

Snooki on So You Think You Can Dance
Snooki's got some hot moves, as she deftly showed off on the boardwalk. Those drunken backflips alone would get her past the audition rounds, and she'd hardly be the first person to show her undies (or cooter) on that show. She's got a passion for dance that just can't be denied and boobs bigger than her head - so Nigel will be thrilled. Plus, she's so tiny that her partners will just be thrilled when it comes time to do lifts. And with her hair, she's practically the same height as Cat Deeley.

The Situation on Top Chef
He'd be amazing on this show since he's clearly so proud of his sausage and peppers and ability to murder lobsters. He's also showed off his culinary creativity by making some interesting cheese concoctions to put under Vinny's bed. And he would totally try (and fail) to flirt with Padma at every opportunity. Watching The Situation get shot down repeatedly will never get old, regardless of the context.

Unless they're on a reality show where they're hunted down for sport, I really wish you'd quit writing about these morons. Top fucking Model has more depth than this show.

I'd prefer seeing Sammi and Ronnie self-destruct on multiple continents, a la The Amazing Race.

Whatever. I can do drunken backflips on the beach. In fact, I have.

I am so much game for another season of Jersey Shore yumminess, but please dump Ronnie and Sammi. Even their drama was utterly forgettable. They are just a drag on the show...Ronnie might be alright if he didn't pair up with the dullest, whiny-est turd on the shore.
So glad Angelina left early. She was repulsive.

This reality show should/must stop. It doesn't have any moral values at all. See some of the commentors even like them, because they are them! Do we like our youth to act and even behave like the jersey shores? So without respect and moral.
