A Sober Season of 'Jersey Shore'?
Are we in for a very different kind of Jersey Shore this season?
We already know that Snooki is pregnant and will therefore not be the font of drunken debauchery that she once was. Now word comes that when the cast of the Shore went out to a bar last night, NO ONE drank. Apparently Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, who recently spent time in rehab for problems related to perscription pills and alcohol abuse, chose not to drink and the rest of the cast followed his lead in a show of solidarity.
While it's tremendous that Sorrentino and his castmates are committed to his recovery, booze-free bar nights just don't feel like the Jersey Shore we all know and love. Are our favorite guidos and guidettes finally growing up? Are we in for a season of Scrabble nights and polite discourse? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
The Jersey Shore is currently filming its sixth season. The spin-off series, Snooki & JWoww, premieres on Thursday, June 21 at 10pm.
