And why were they one selected to do the show? They were pretty much nobodies before they starred in the show. Now they're millionaires because of that show. Out of all the people, why did they pick Snooki and Mike the Situation, and people like that?
They probably auditioned for the show, and they were the most "interesting" ones. Then they were probably told to be even more dramatic and "interesting."
Simple because they wanted people as tanned as carrots and people who act stupid to become stars. The acting and music industry has really gone downhill in the past few years.
They had auditions I think, so they picked the most ridiculous and the ones they KNEW would start drama, and BAM Jersey Shore is one of the most popular shows
