It's been announced: Season 4 of Jersey Shore will be shot in Italy, with the same cast of guidos.
Not sure what to make of this. I kind of want to see a new cast, but putting them in such a drastically different place is a good direction to take the series. Miami was not different from Jersey in the slightest, and now that they're back, it's lost a lot of the charm of the first season. It's not 8 strangers living together, it's the 7 most famous MTV icons (and Deena) of this generation coming back to a place where everybody knows who they are.
Seriously, I've begun to notice that when they shoot at the T-Shirt shop or on the boardwalk, there are crowds of people gathering around them with their camera-phones clicking away. It's not the same anymore, man. Things have changed...
