Ten years ago, they arrived on screen inJersey Shores debut season.
That glorious trash pile became a phenomenon, and helped invent the decade around it.
This new spin-off is a double recycling job, a reiteration-boot of a sorta-franchise from the 2000s.
The two-hour premiere is very silly, and pretty entertaining.
It is both a parody ofThe Bachelorand a more believable version ofThe Bachelor.
Some contestants claim to beJersey Shoresuperfans.
Ive been a big fan since I was a freshman in high school, says Derynn.
Meanwhile, theres Mish, who openly admits that she has no idea who Pauly D is.
The ladies all have the sort of jobs that make people complain about millennials.
They work in live music, own clothing companies, modeled in Vegas for six years.
Actually, wait, no, I think thats all one person.
Another woman explains that as a side gig, I also do hosting in the exotic car community.
What a phrase,the exotic car community, what a poem!
and What is the name of the national anthem?
and Name four different kinds of pasta and What is the closest planet to the sun?
Thats why we can see it!
We really have to do something about our education system.
Can this cheerful stupidity sustain a whole season?
In fact, it is plausible that this scenario isthe only waythey can possibly find a soulmate.
Being put in this house, in these cameras?
The affectations are all just right.
Eliminated contestants are told, with great melodrama, Your cab is here.
And there is an actual cab outside, waiting to take them away.
The boys discuss their prospects in a barbershop inside their mansion.
Vinny looks anxious, sweetly scared of flirting.
Pauly acts like its all just a typical Tuesday.
Everyone seems to be struggling to say anything serious.
I like the caring aspect of B-Lashes, says Vinny.
Oh yeah, theres a woman named B-Lashes.
If theyre a little lucky, theyll find love.
If theyre very lucky, theyll join the exotic car community.
So shall we all, someday, someday.B
