Now that Jersey Shore Family Vacation Season 1 is over it’s time to announce season award winners. To sum up this season, it’s the entertainment I didn’t know I needed. There were some great tv moments from the season, Ronnie’s baby mama drama, The Sitch getting married, Vinny displaying/explaining what cheating is, some mild bickering including Sitch and Ronnie roasts, and a robot Sammie that looked like it was straight out of Westworld. The show seemed to be 4 episodes too long as some of the scenes lingered a bit too long to stretch the footage over 14 episodes and they could’ve done without a lot of the staged corny parts.

Notable Appearance

Angela. What a weird appearance? Good to finally show her make amends with the housemates but man was it corny how orchestrated it was. Good to she grew up since we last saw her in Miami.

Season MBP (Most Bland Player) – I made this category up for this show.

Pauly D. Something about the guy makes him very uninteresting to me. He seems like he didn’t change the slightest in five years. Most memorable scenes is immaturely yelling out the same sayings 25 times in a row.

Season LVP

*Sigh* Easy choice. Ronnie. A complete shit show for the duration of the season. From cheating on his girlfriend, heavy consumptions of drugs and alcohol, couldn’t stop talking about his ex, and all around poor choice of character he is the most deserving of this seasons LVP. You also didn’t need to watch the show to get entertainment from Ronnie who has been in the news off and on over the last several weeks with his ongoing feud with his baby mama for domestic violence, death of animals, alleged allegations from both sides. What a mess. On a serious note, I really hope he gets the help he needs before he completely wrecks his life. Ronnie did have the most notable quote of the season “I’ve always said I’d rather pay child support than alimony.” I mean that’s quality.

Honorable Mention

Snooki. I wasn’t a fan of in the first six seasons, I’m not any closer a fan now. Still makes me feel like I’m getting slightly dumber watching her getting belligerent. Her lips were so violently distracting that they should’ve had an introduction in the opening title scene for them. Also the fact that she thought it was okay to keep the dollar bills at the strip club…

Season MVP

I have to go with Mike the Situation, I don’t know how much of it was real and how much was for TV but he really seemed like a different guy then the one we saw years ago. It was cool to see him stay sober the entire season especially being exposed to such a tough situation (no pun intended) to keep sobriety. Even his personality made him such a likable guy this season. In the past, he was always starting drama and being a shit bag really did a 180 on us this season. He brought the most memorable scene of the season in the penultimate episode, proposing to his fiancé, Lauren. Mike showed the most growth out of all the housemates. So while were at it, Mike is the Most Improved Player as well.

Honorable Mention

Sammi Sweetheart who made a very strong case for MVP by not even being on this season as all. Don’t get me wrong it would’ve been GREAT entertainment to see her on this season and the drama that would’ve ensued. Good for her to be in a happy place and turning down the money to come back. Also, probably was good for her safety seeing how Ronnie was completely unhinged this season. In a way, what made this season so great was it was refreshing to see the group in different roles and not hindered by the Ronnie-Sam constant fighting that really took over the last several seasons of the original show. For all these reasons, Sammi is the honorable mention MVP.

Conclusion

That wraps up the awards for this season. I was in high school when the first stint of Jersey Shore aired and I liked to think I have grown up a bit since then but I can’t deny it was a refreshing nostalgic trip seeing the housemates five years later. I thought the reason why the first stint faded out rather quickly was due to season after season with no gap in between them (6 Seasons in 3 years) really made you sick of the cast by the end of it. Unfortunately due to the high success of this season, MTV has already began cranking out another season worth of filming so who knows how long this run will last. Can we make some prop bets for next season? This show would be perfect for prop bets. For season two, under/over Ronnie cries five times in the season?! Taking early wagers now.
