1 pondering on gavin's sexuality, 1 windenburg matchmaking request, 3!!! jersey shore inquiries, once again compiled 4 ur viewing pleasure 💋
wait that's iconic i'd love to meet ur gay gavin & exchange book recs 👯 & yessss same i love seeing people's takes on the townies like ofc it's fun when there's a general consensus but when there's that one out-of-left-field take/pairing/lore.. we simply have to respect 🙌
candy & siobhan are actually so hard for me to pair in my head bc those r my GIRLS & i want the very best for them 😤 it's abt matching the energies so i'd see candy with someone outgoing & fun & silly but also responsible (her being her sister's guardian and all) i almost wanna say johnny but idk if he's responsible enough, then i wanna say miko ojo but idk if she's easygoing enough 🤨 siobhan also needs some1 outgoing & fun & like very Cultured/In w the times ykwim... like i don't think she's an influencer but definitely knows all the right people / is in that general vicinity of The It-Crowd so lowkey... penny 😶🌫️ as for partihaus ..... well . u will see soon 😌💋
IKR i feel like she's a household name especially now that that era is the Moment but at the same time i'm trying to be more understanding & less of a "YOU DONT KNOW XYZ ??? 😵💫😵💫" gal bc ofc everyone's pop cultural upbringings / experiences vary depending on so many factors so while it Is jarring sometimes O WELL the world turns, the icons change, the trends die off, C'EST LA VIE 🗿
LMAO ur totally fine, i was never that big of a reality tv girl until the pandemic made me revisit the Classics of my adolescence so i get the confusion 🐒 i think shows from that era are fun to watch bc it's this mix of pre-social media/influencer personalities, but in the midst of The Rise of the Reality TV Star™️ so it's interesting to see the different ways fame and like Performance were handled back then vs now where it's *gestures towards the wasteland of youtubers / instagram models / etc* & then the fact that the jersey shore cast was just regular ass east coast italians all grouped together for their big personalities rather than online clout made things Feel a little more real/easier to connect with? like you could've met any of these people on the boardwalk ykwim so there's something kinda endearing/homegrown to it IDK even the fact that it's not just partying & going crazy but they actually have to physically work at the shore store too LMAO it's like reality tv for minimum wage earning 20 yr olds 😮💨🙏 i do think a lot of it is the nostalgia factor too & recognizing these shows as the pop cultural artifacts that they are / the undeniable effect they have on pop culture even today, but maybe that's just my own fascination/fixation speaking 🥸
HEYYY BABE GOOD 2 HEAR FROM U AGAIN!!! 🫂 i actually dont watch family vacation 😶 after rewatching the original series w my friend @ the start of the pandemic we Tried to get into it but it was srsly so depressing seeing them all like shiny n botoxed n groomed & like milking out the glory days even though everything is so different ?? 🤕 like as i answered above, so much of the appeal (for me) was how unfiltered & personal they felt and now i just feel like they've all been corrupted w fame in a sense RIP still lovable & somewhat the same but ugh man i don't wanna see their mansions or their hyper-sculpted-for-the-gram bodies lounging at bougie resorts making up problems / playing on nostalgia bc they know it'll get clicks ykwim?? v against the spirit of the original jersey shore 2 me 🌬 also i feel so much 4 sam & hate that everyone seemed to forgive ronnie like in her place UGH just bad vibes all around ❌ sometimes i'll watch clickbait moments on YT & i follow most of the cast on insta so i'll see bits thru there too but ya deffo not a full time watcher i don't think my heart could take it 🥲❤️🩹
