Stopped watching it midway through this season. There never was a point but it's just not new anymore. They are stupid; I get it.
I firmly believe the 1st season was a touchstone in (reality) television history (probably for many wrong reasons but still). Viewership increased almost 400% from the premiere to the season 1 finale. We watched an episode in my Film class last year when we were discussing Baudrillard! Constructions and perpetuations of a false reality.

I don't think it's conditioning actually. It's just what people want. These people on the show are normal as hell, just they have some mannerisms and a different lifestyle, one that wasn't predicated on luxury and pomp. It's just MTV created this reality show and people ate up how "non-high class" and ordinary the show and characters were. I don't buy into all that conditioning stuff. We choose to make things popular. There were a hundred shows that came and went after Jersey Shore. Read that Slate article; I thought it was pretty good.Originally Posted by TeamJordan79

People that claim they watch it b/c its purely entertaining are not conscious of the fact that this type of show is influencing them on some level. I mean regardless of how u perceive the "lifestyle" portrayed in this show, somewhere in the back of your head it could play a part in you social interactions, dating, behavior, mannerisms etc. Its predictive programming and conditioning in a subtle form.
