For as much as MTV is making off of that shite I cannot believe they would offer 5k.... Hell, every one of the cast members gets that much to make an appearance at a bar.

I think 25k an episode is a fair price

It's because the people on the show have absolutely no talent at all and can easily be replaced with some other guido dbags. Ratings might drop if they switch people up but it's not like MTV would be losing a potentially longrunning franchise.

Did you read the article... The cast members of that "Hills" show make 100k an episode.

25k is completely fair for the Jersey shore group... Cant wait for next season

Pauly d, mile the situation and snooki should turn them down/ask for more money.. They make the show and/or can get more money doing somthing else. Everyone else should take the offer.

Some of them do need to come back. Angelina is obviously not, and Ronnie and Sammie need to go (especially Sammie). Jwwow is cool, and Vinny is the only sane guy of the group. There is no debate that Pauly D, Snooks, and the Situation need to return. That would make it to where there would be 3 more new cast members.

But that show is about those people lives(even though its fake) you can't get else to come in and play Spencer. Jersey Shore isn't about their lives it's about Guidos living in a house and going out. Every person they stand next to in club could be a potential replacement.

Disagree 100%

Jersey Shore is those individuals... If they change it, it will be a new "Real World New Jersey"

Considering sitch's rate for an appearance is like 7k, I'd laugh at the MTV execs face if I were him.

Guarantee a 2nd season would be a letdown.

They're semi-celebs now and that changes the entire dynamic of the show

Sitch's pimpin is gonna come way too easily now and Snookie could actually hook up with guys

True, but I also think if you bring in a new group, they are gonna go over the top trying to 1 up the original cast.

Thats why I think you bring back Situation, Pauly, Snooks, Vinny, Jwoww, and 3 new house mates.

That's what sucks about these shows.

That's what ruined jackass.

They become celebrities and that changes EVERYTHING about the show. If people can recognize you and know who you are without saying a single word to you that is going to change the entire dynamic of the show.

I'd love them to be back for a season 2, I've just already accepted the fact that it won't be as good as this one.

This. They just need to find a new cast - and preferably a better group of females personality-wise.

They won't be able to step foot in Karma without getting raped.

But guaranteed more attempts at fights from outsiders.

They should just make a show following them getting paid to show up at events. That would end up being more successful than another Shore house.

Put them in a Road Rules situation where they travel all over but are forced to live together.
