'Jersey Shore' is an MTV reality show following young and hip housemates as they spend their summers together. Drama is never very far away as all they want to do is party, hook up and show off their toned and tanned bodies. It was originally filmed in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, and followed the antics of Angelina 'Jolie' Pivarnick, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, Paul 'DJ Pauly D' DelVecchio, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola and Vinny Guadagnino. It attracted controversy from the start as MTV received criticism from Italian-American organisations who objected to the liberal use of the word Guido to describe the cast members. Despite the controversy, the previously unknown participants are now household names in America and many of them have capitalised on their new-found fame. Michael 'The Situation' Sorrentino was a contestant on season 11 of 'Dancing with the Stars', Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi wrote a book, and Jenni 'Jwoww' Farley launched her own line of clothing. It premiered in the UK in 2010.
