Jersey Shore - Season 6
On March 19, 2012, MTV confirmed that the series would return for a sixth season at Seaside Heights, with the whole cast returning. Snooki, being pregnant, lived next door to the shore house. On August 30, 2012 it was confirmed that Season 6 would be the final season of the show. Jersey Shore Season 6: The Uncensored Final Season was released on DVD, March 19, 2013.
The first season had five special episodes, with some airing after select episodes. Several after-hours specials have aired on MTV following select episodes along with various specials. The end of each season has been accompanied by a reunion show. Also a number of after-show internet specials titled "Jersey Shore: Hook-Up" hosted by Kenny Santucci have been released on MTV.com after select episodes. Additionally, there have been a number of internet specials exclusively on MTV.com.
For the first quarter of 2010, season 1 of Jersey Shore was the highest-rated original cable series among 12- to 34-year-olds, with a season-high 2.6 rating for the finale.[1] The season also ranked #1 for its time period versus all cable competition among 12- to 34-year-olds.[1] The season finale was MTV's highest-rated original series telecast in almost two years.[1] Overall, the season averaged 2.7 million viewers.[2] The season featured five special episodes, including a half-hour show titled Jersey Shore: After Hours hosted by Julissa Bermudez which aired occasionally after select episodes featuring cast members discussing the week's episode.
On January 29, 2010, MTV announced that a second season of the series consisting of 13 episodes had been ordered and would air in Summer 2010.[13][14][15] MTV announced that the second season would follow all of the first-season cast as they "escape the cold northeast and find themselves in a new destination".[13][14] The second season was shot in the South Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach, Florida from early March to late May 2010. The second season began on July 29, 2010.[16][17] For Season 2, the After Hours specials were expanded to one hour and received Top 15 Weekly Cable ratings. Like season 1, this season featured special episodes titled Jersey Shore: Hook-Up. Like Season 1's episodes, these are hosted by Kenny Santucci from the Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat and shown on MTV.com.
Season 3 was shot back in Seaside Heights, New Jersey over the summer;[39] filming began on July 25, 2010 and ended on September 4, 2010.[40] On July 20, 2010, MTV announced that the entire cast will return for the third season, with the exception of Angelina Pivarnick.[41] Angelina was replaced by Deena Nicole Cortese, a longtime friend of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and a self-described "blast in a glass".[42]
Although the season is widely reported and regarded as the third season of the show, MTV refers to it as a continuation of season 2 on their website.[43] Season three premiered on January 6, 2011 to 8.45 million viewers, making it MTV's highest-rated telecast.[44] The second episode of the season once again set a series and MTV high, with 8.56 million viewers,[45] only to set another record with the airing of the fourth episode, which garnered 8.87 million viewers.[46]
MTV renewed Jersey Shore for a fourth season on January 24, 2011. It was the first to be shot overseas, this time following the cast in Florence, Italy.[62] Filming went from May to June 20, 2011[63] and the fourth season premiered on August 4, 2011. The fourth season aired for 12 episodes and finished airing on October 20, 2011.
Jersey Shore was renewed for a fifth season. Filming started a week after returning from Italy on June 27th, 2011 to August 1st, 2011.[76] It premiered on January 5, 2012 and follows the cast returning to Seaside Heights, New Jersey after spending the fourth season in Italy.
The roommates struggle to adjust to life at the shore without Vinny, while The Situation confronts his own internal demons. But it's also Pauly D's birthday -- and he gets the best present of his life! Mike deals with jealousy and storms out of the house.
On March 19, 2012, MTV confirmed that the series would return for a sixth season at Seaside Heights, with the whole cast returning. Snooki, being pregnant, lived next door to the shore house.[87] On August 30, 2012 it was confirmed that Season 6 would be the final season of the show.[88] Jersey Shore Season 6: The Uncensored Final Season was released on DVD, March 19, 2013.[89]
Ronnie's decision to step away from filming for the show came after his arrest for a domestic violence incident. The incident involved his then-girlfriend Saffire Mattos. Prior to this, Ronnie had a history of domestic violence allegations. Many of these incidents involved the mother of his daughter, Jen Harley, and were discussed throughout the early seasons of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Since stepping away from the show, Ronnie has primarily remained out of the spotlight.
Have you done your G.T.L. recently? There are only a few more days until the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation premiere on April 5, and the expectations for the new season are at an all time high. The OG Jersey Shore cast is reuniting in Miami for another season of fist bumping, and while MTV may have successfully pulled the guidos away from their children, girlfriends, and husbands, I'm guessing that getting the gang back together wasn't cheap. How much does the Jersey Shore cast get paid? Quit your day jobs, folks, because it turns out that partying for a living is a pretty lucrative gig.
Joining Snooki at the high end of the salary scale were Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Pauly "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio, who also were reportedly paid $150,000 per episode for Jersey Shore Season 6. Both The Situation and DJ Pauly D are known to start stuff, so it's not shocking that MTV would reward them for their dramatic streaks. RadarOnline reported that after receiving $400,000 in signing bonuses, $200,000 in end-of-season bonuses, and $150,000 for a reunion episode, plus their per-episode salaries, Snooki, The Situation, and DJ Pauly D each made about $2.55 million for Season 6. BRB, becoming a reality star ASAP.
The rest of the cast didn't make as much as the show's top three earners, but don't expect them to run out of money any time soon. Snooki's best friend Jenni "JWoww" Farley reportedly earned $100,000 an episode during Season 6, most likely for her constant feuding with Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and her quick temper. Vinny Guadagnino, who somehow became the voice of reason throughout the show's six seasons, earned a reported $90,000 per episode, according to RadarOnline. And both Sammi Sweetheart and her on-and-off boyfriend Ronnie Magro reportedly brought in $80,000 an episode for basically showing fans what a relationship shouldn't look like.
We're glad we finally got to see Vinny and Jionni have their man-to-man talk, although it was hardly worth all the teasers. We liked Vinny interrupting JWoww scolding Jionni's baby-daddy skills. (Aw, because now they're friends, see?) Jionni's baby-daddy skills have been a subject of contention all season. We've heard various cast members complain that Jionni's never around. We've heard Snooki whine about Jionni's softball hobby. We don't want to be pro-deadbeat-dad or anything, but it just does not seem to us like Jionni is in any danger of earning that kind of label. Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps he just does not want to be on camera? If you're reading this, Jionni... it's OK. We know.
While all this was happening, Vinny and Nicole were riding scooters on the boardwalk, pretending to be 80 years old. When Snooki is an old lady, her name will be Karen. We don't know why. Someone calls Snooki "fat" as they roll by and Vinny, knight on a shining Rascal, backs up to yell at him. We considered making a list of our favorite moments of Jersey Shore's final season, and then we realized they would probably all involve Vinny. And then we thought, who cares, Vinny's the best anyway, let's do it.
According to THR, Snooki is set to return for the next new season of Jersey Shore, but she'll be living in a different house. With the exception of the Miami season and the more recent Italy season, the Jersey Shore cast has stayed at the same Seaside beach house, so Snooki move to another "nearby" location is a fairly drastic change to the format of the show. With that said, it's a responsible decision and one that may or may not have been her own. I could see this being the producers' way of making sure their legal bases are covered or that the series doesn't get any major bad press for having a pregnant woman living in a house full of hard-partiers.
Vinny Guadagnino told Vulture that they did the first season for "zero dollars," except for their wages from the Shore Store. According to the New York Daily News, they got a pay raise for season two: $10,000 per episode.
It meant that the cast wouldn't get a rest period between season four and five, and would have to start shooting as soon as they got back to America. She told The Hollywood Reporter, "They're gonna hate me."
MTV today announced that the hit series Jersey Shore Family Vacation, which is the #1 reality series with young adults, is set to return for a monumental sixth season on Thursday, January 26th at 8PM ET/PT on MTV.
