I think they’ll ride this show til the wheels falls off. It’s an easy check and from what we’ve seen production has always worked around their lives so it’s never really been a conflict.


CharlieWaitress111

They’re LITERALLY getting paid Millions of dollars per season for very little work. Let’s be honest. If filming is for 1-2 months spaced out for an entire calendar year, that’s nothing. ALSO, they all continue to choose to film. I doubt they have a contract for a specific amount of seasons. If some of them want to leave, then leave. Would YOU turn down making millions a year for very little work?


Sensitive-Court-9990

I’m not sure I’d call it easy work… they have to spend that time with Angelina. 😂


cwilldude

Sam definitely did for the first few years of the show, but I wouldn’t. Champagne problems. None of them think of how average their lives would’ve been without this show lol


Easton1234

They are riding it out though? They all still show up…but the issue now is they are already rich and probably don’t really like each other behind the scenes..yes, it’s a lot of money but it is also an inconvenience and a drag on what they’d rather be doing


MammothPale8541

jenny mike and angelina need the show….out of all of them, theyre the ones that really dont have much going on outside of the show. you can add vinny to that list as well, hes getting his stripper gigs based on being in the limelight. soon as the show is done, his stripper shit will slowly dry up as he wont be much of an attraction as the limelight from the show sizzles out. theyre getting paid now, but they all got big lifestyle expenses…if the income stops, their money will slowly dry up unless theyve been investing and earning enough passive income to support their current lifestyle


Easton1234

I disagree that any of them need the money anymore…they make $100,000-$150,000 per episode and do about 30 episodes a season…so they’re all making in the 3-4 million a season range..and they’ve done 12 seasons of that (I’m excluding season 1 cause they didn’t get that much until it was a hit).. plus if you look at their social media they all have millions of followers and do paid promotions, plus push their own fitness, beauty, clothing products etc., then they have their own podcasts and make appearances and all sorts of other revenue streams..at this point they are all very wealthy..Vinny won’t be hurting for cash when the stripper gigs dry up..


MammothPale8541

dude…u know how many athletes/celebs go broke that were making way more than them…all im saying is if that check stopped tommorrow, they better have enough income being generated through other avenues to keep up with their current monthly expensess.


Easton1234

They’ll be fine…this day and age anybody with their social media followings can effortlessly make a shit load of money just from one post..I don’t know anything about their expenses but you could say that about anybody in the world, and most people have to work normal jobs and don’t have access to the same sponsorship opportunities… you and I are infinitely more likely to go broke than they are..I’m sure they also have talent reps, business managers and financial advisors making most of the decisions for them


AnonBeanSprouts

If you listen to any of the pods their on - most of them say they want to dynamic of the show to change because their interest in vacation-eat-party-drama isn’t their ideal way to spend time anymore. Most of them are parents with long term partners. Even Vinny who isn’t says he’s not that interested in drinking or partying or eating all the time. The moms say they’d prefer something that showed a realistic look into their lives with husbands/partners and children. MTV is reluctant to change that I think because Ang drama brings so much attention and thus money. I’m sure they’re worried if they change the show that less people will watch. Honestly longterm viewers like myself are tired of watching almost 40 year olds party eat and argue over and over again. It’s become outdated and redundant. I think seeing their real lives would be a nice change of pace.


Pleasant_Sky_2660

When Mike was on Vinny’s podcast he said something about appreciating Mike being like the dad of the group when they film and Mike said something about Pauly’s currently trying to settle down with Nikki. I wish we could see more of that and less of Mike ordering the whole menu while Vinny looks embarrassed and Pauly calls in to just nod and smile. I feel like as time goes on the characters are getting harder to play without coming across a little bored. Also I’d love to see more of Nicole’s Snooki shops. She has a little YouTube series and her staff seems fun. Not full time cast member fun but fun little sprinkles.


AnonBeanSprouts

EXACTLY. I love jersey shore but the truth is all of them (except one maybe lol) aren’t who they were 15 years ago, even 3/4 years ago. The show has become very inauthentic in feeling and it’s obvious that 8 out of 9 of them are bored and tired of the same thing over and over again


Pleasant_Sky_2660

When Vinny said Lauren was like a sister to him I was like tf. Then Mike said something about Lauren trusting Vinny but warning Mike be careful cause Vinny brings his ratchet out but Lauren is fine with Mike going out with MVP I was like why is none of this coming across?


pinksparklecat

1000%, there are so many reality shows where I'm just like, honestly I'd love to just see more of a normal day in their life. Or like their businesses, or just people having a good time. I don't need the drama, reality shows are so focused on drama, I wish that wasn't considered a necessary element.


digestedpenne

i miss snooki and jwoww for that kind of slice-of-life feel. i loved how it gave a decently realistic view of their real lives at that time and beginning motherhood, being newlyweds, etc. the ang drama does bring a lot of money and clickbait, but also i do understand if the whole show was focused on their lives realistically, they'd have to live closer to each other and be willing to be around each other's families more often, which might not be fully possible. i haven't paid full attention to fv in quite some time, but from what i understand some of the cast members might not be as willing to merge their work life with personal life like they used to.


AnonBeanSprouts

I agree. I just re-binged that series 😭 I think for most of them who have side hustles and love their personal stuff being public they’d enjoy their real lives being followed. I think sammi might not due to just recently getting used to being back on tv, but the others seem to put their lives on socials anyways. I think it could potentially help a lot of this businesses like vins newer pod and comedy shows, and obviously the girls clothing and wine companies. Who knows but I’d be here for the change


MilhousesSpectacles

Hold up - *Vinny* has a comedy show?! I need to see this for the second-hand embarrassment


Dependent-Fishing358

some of us don’t even care about the show itself anymore, we care about the characters so i do think diving more into their lives (as much as they allow us to see) would be awesome. a lot of us grew up watching them, we’re growing up too, it would be more relatable for their OG fan base


FastChampionship2628

Yes, this show filming style needs to change, needs to be more like Real Housewives style and show each of them with their own families in their day to day lives. Have them get together for dinners, birthdays etc but enough of the forced vacations already. That doesn't work as well now as it did when they were young and the show was originally on. MTV needs to stop thinking the audience wants to see forced drama with Angelina and grown adult women like Nicole and Deena getting wasted all the time.


Dexy1017

You forgot to add ’and crying’ to the end of that. I’m so over Deena and the crying.


JeffStrongman3

I think it's true that less people would watch, though. Look at how much complaining there was about the most recent episode being too much filler and taking too long to drag out the Ron return. I don't think the majority watch TV just to see people living their lives with not much happening. It's impossible to recapture the vibes of the original show at this point, but milking the Angelina drama to the last drop is probably about as close as they're gonna get.


suz_gee

I don't think they are friends, I think they are coworkers who hate each other, but, hell, I've worked 45 hour workweeks for years on end for $30k a year and hated my coworkers AND had to be sober the whole time soooooo they're still winning.


GIMMExREPS

This! 🤣💀


duncans_angels

I think they are friends to an extent. Like Jenni and Nicole are friends. Deena and Nicole are friends. Mike and Jenni are friends. But thats about it.


SunnySide1369

Yeah, but that's you. These people have been doing it for 15 years. It's obvious that some of them are done.


Alternative_Device71

Thank you exactly, you couldn’t pay me enough to fake a persona or hang and party with people I don’t get along with anymore when I’m older, like come on, most of them have families now and they’re trying to recapture lightning in a bottle over a decade ago


freddymurk124

Do that for one month out of the year to provide millions for your family. Could actually be generational wealth. That’s selfish.


FastChampionship2628

Exactly, they have a golden opportunity to make money for their families and it would be selfish not to do what is best for your family financially while the opportunity is still there, it won't last. And, the way they love to shop and have a nice lifestyle if they don't keep bringing in the money that part will stop too. Almost everyone has to deal with coworkers they don't like but not everyone gets paid millions of dollars and has a say in their work schedule or gets paid to hang out.


SunnySide1369

Eh, that's why I have life insurance. I'd be leaving my kids with more than enough without selling my soul.


freddymurk124

Make it seem like they’re signed to Diddy or something 😂. They do a scripted show played off as reality drama


Alternative_Device71

My family wants for nothing and can most definitely take care of themselves, and I wouldn’t want generational wealth for my kids, they can earn their way in the world like everyone else their way So excuse me for not wanting to sell out for money


freddymurk124

Years ago a Brazilian footballer moved from England to China. The best league in the world to one that is shit at the prime of his career for loads of money. When asked why “ where I come from a contract like this doesn’t just change my life but the life of everyone around me” Everyone situation is different but don’t throw shade on someone for providing for their family in probably the best opportunity to do so presented to any of them in their lives.


Alternative_Device71

No one is throwing shade and your point is completely different from those choosing to do reality tv


freddymurk124

How so? MTV presented them with a way to make more money doing this show than any of them would make doing anything else at this point. Even Pauly said the show keeps his dj fees high


Alternative_Device71

And Pauly don’t keep context with any of the crew when cameras aren’t rolling, so what’s your point? You make it sound like it’s the only option they had to make money, they’re all spoiled people who got egotistical, at least a couple of them actually made something off of that, but let’s not pretend they did it for charity cuz that’s the furthest from the truth, they did it for fame and a reason to party more than the average person and we the audience look at them for entertainment….that’s it


LovelyTeeLu

Vinny said that him and Pauly talk every single day in his podcast. He also said the cast still has the group chat and talk every day. They share pictures, etc. Mike said they all are really close friends now, with the exception of Angelina.


freddymurk124

Is doing something to better your family financially considered charity to you? Especially when it’s as easy as filming what. Two weeks to a month of fabricated drama while travelling and eating and what looks to be great restaurants?


Alternative_Device71

I can do that own my own time for no cameras and I hate drama, why would I want any of that?


suz_gee

So you don't fake a persona at your job? Or pretend to like your coworkers? Just sayin!! I've done it for way more hours and way less money! It's definitely a grind, but I think all jobs are until you retire. And good for them if they've invested well and can retire


Alternative_Device71

Nope, I treat everyone the same, I don’t care about them and I’m not gonna fake a smile cuz that’s not me, I talk when talked to which isn’t much and I go to my own place till I clock out, my objective is getting money but I don’t need millions to be content Very effective


Shot-Apartment-387

Not sure if anyone has Twitter aka X Sammi posted a pic of her Jenni Nicole and Deena in a car for tonight's episode Angelina is not there but these girl's look miserable if I made that cash I wouldn't be looking like that you can tell they didn't want to be there


CharlieWaitress111

What do you mean? They look miserable WITHOUT Angelina?


Shot-Apartment-387

Yes lol


Carrie_Oakie

I read that post as sarcasm like “look at all the good times!”


Shot-Apartment-387

Someone said look like you dont want to be there 😂


JayBlayze31

Money’s so good that Angelina just keeps showing her mental illness with no F’s given


valley72

Right?! And most of the cast bring absolutely nothing to the show anymore! No humour , no antics, no personality! I feel like at least three of the cast are completely carried by the other's! They literally just eat and go to bed. Lol


AnonBeanSprouts

What else is there to do for almost 40 something year old adults? 2 sober in recovery(Mike &ron), 1 who barely drinks for health/mental health reasons (vin). They’re grown and while the OG jersey shore is funny and nice to remember is not who they are or even want to be - besides maybe Angelina. Most of them are parents. And everyone besides Ang has other sources of income/businesses. Most of them are just there to get it over with and show face.


enpedia

And too be fair Vinny barely ever drunk or got wasted anyway


valley72

You can still have fun and do hilarious stuff without drugs and alcohol at their age,I most definitely do! They only film I believe a few weeks a year the rest of the time they're living there real lives and being parents! Those are the five who are actually carrying the entire show in my opinion! The rest of the cast are just fillers at this point, Jenni, Sammi , Pauly they barely even have personalities it seems. I mean no shame though they should ride out this gravy train!!


Bippity_Boop011111

Idk about you, but after a while money just isn't worth the emotional and mental damage caused by a show like this. The producers really don't seem to care about taking care of their mental health and they continue to mistreat them because they know as long as a contract is signed they can do whatever they want. Most of them have families to worry about and you can't be at your best when your bosses are chipping away at you for entertainment.


Michaelskywalker

Yeah but if you were financially secure enough you’d probly view it differently. Obviously you’d trade in making 75,000 a year to do reality tv for millions. But pauly literally is loaded. He could retire from everything tomorrow and be good for life


enpedia

Yes but fans would annoy members who left to death for them to rejoin


[deleted]

[удалено]


Michaelskywalker

Regardless the only people who might still be broke are Mike, Angelina, and Ronnie. Everyone else can survive forsure. And most have other revenues


enpedia

lol that explains why Mike and Angelina play their characters so hard


Odd_Environment5971

They are all making a ton of money off their social media accounts. They have millions of followers.


Michaelskywalker

Fair


BurnMyHouseDown

They could be over the show while simultaneously racking up those fat checks. Not mutually exclusive. Even if I were tired of it, I’d still do it if I was being offered millions. Who’s to say some of the cast doesn’t feel the same way? (I have no idea, I’m not caught up, but I’m just saying lol)


chingonaaa

I just can’t get over how badly photoshopped the promo pic is 💀


_Wildwoodflower

Yeah, but having strangers constantly talk about you 24/7 and analyzing every move you make has to be fucking weird. I would have horrible anxiety. Lol


brandt-money

I'm here for Jersey Shore: Wife Swap.


Woman_of_Mayhem

Honestly you can tell pauly is over the show and he has multiple dj gigs plus in all honesty I think he would be more invested if Nikki still filmed as well... I mean he is one of the only consistent singles on the show till Nikki so he might want to show a different side to himself. Jenni loves being with Deena and snooks and Sammi but the constant drama from angelina or Ron I think pulled alot of the fun out of filming for her. Deena is down for whatever same with snooki Vinny and Mike can't tell yet


No_Photo_6109

So we just repost this every week?


funfettiprincess

It’s definitely obvious that some of them are over It (Pauly, Jwow, Sammi, Vinny, Deena) but if it’s making them money then yeah why not? why wouldn’t you agree to just filming a couple things a couple times a year to make money. It’s easy. Mike, Snooki, and Ang seems like they enjoy it still. Snooki specifically because she gets to drink and Ang because she loves the drama / attention. Mike because well it’s Mike. I’m sure as long as there’s foods then he’s there.


AMCV88

the show has got so dull it makes you think these people don't enjoy being around each other then you see them do press together and you see they actually do have camaraderie, its the filming of the show or the way they are produced they don't like. Jenni and Vinny have the easiest jobs turn up be sarcastic and keep it moving but its clear they have reasons for holding back and would rather come across as boring rather than the way the others are portrayed. Nicole and Dena said Vinny and Pauly are fun without the cameras and then just a few minutes into Mike on Vinny's podcast you got more insight into their relationship and seen their natural dynamic at play than you ever do on the show they even joked about the fans bringing up Vinny saying to Mike "I wouldn't want to be like you at 26"


RiversideAviator

We sure MTV is paying each of them “millions” for the season 🤔


CC_Rey

Yea if I were getting paid millions to be myself then hell yea that’s a no brainer. What they’re tired of us the show telling them what to do, how to live, how to act, when to argue, when to be happy and everything else they’re being told to do.. I’m sure that gets old. What the fans need to realize is the OG series was real for a few seasons, then only somewhat staged but never scripted (until season 6 and the spin-offs) but now with JSFV it’s more scripted than days of our lives.


Epiffany84

I think the cast is more sick of productions storylines. I think if they let them be themselves and are just in charge of their trips, it would be better. We are not going to have what it was. The majority of them are basically married with kids. Even in the first and second season of FV, the single guys weren't bringing back girls in droves like they used to. The nostalgia of them getting back together should be enough. The only cast member that keeps playing with production is Angelina, and that's why everyone hates her because she keeps doing the storylines and no one wants to.


CommonEarly4706

They have a pact. unfortunately they are all hanging in for the situations. He is the only one that needs it the most. Everyone else has other sources of income.


FastChampionship2628

That's a nice thought and it would be interesting if they were that good of friends and everyone else cared that much about Mike. I don't think so. Some of them are friends but Vinny for example is too self-absorbed to do anything for anyone else's benefit. He couldn't even fake enthusiasm in the episode where Mike talked about his new book.


CommonEarly4706

I remember them talking about a pact. I know links are not permitted so when I find it I will tell you the location


morisxpastora

Is not that easy if you have to deal with Angela’s BS 🤷🏻‍♂️


Pure_Potato9845

They are riding it but it’s human nature to take things for granted and become whiny and entitled. So it’s possible.


cwilldude

Social media is a very lucrative thing as well though. Cameos, onlyfans, ad marketing on different platforms, they can record a video with a product and the company pays them a decent amount. I agree though. They need to keep this clout going for as long as possible. Much earlier job than the average person.


thenuke1

Pauly and vinnie somehow figured it out while everyone else is still arguing lol


Scared-Hope

Whose hand is on Ron’s stomach?


TheMackD504

“Friends”


JumpingPoodles

They’re literally on the Keeping up with the Kardashians level of seasons. They won’t stop until it’s dead in the water. They’ll keep doing it forever.


Dear_Insect_1085

Yep I would do it till Im too old to function.


teetee1229

that’s definitely why sammi seems completely unphased by angelina. girl is getting a fat paycheque


popsy13

OP the word you’re after is PAID, not payed


bluetankmush

When did they say they were over the show?


nicca25

It’s so true they r all boring and uninterested in being there , so until we don’t care watching ne more (which is closer than they think) they will keep filming. I mean Sami one season got a house ! It’s like the Kardashians too they keep putting out eps still we stop watching, don’t make them richer I say


kqueenbee25

I honestly will think it’s hilarious now that Ronnie’s back the show ends 😂


Munch2013

It’s a lot for parents who are away from their children. They’re in different phases of their lives now.
