"Sono a Firenze, putana!"

I'm a bit of a Jersey Shore junky. Sort of.


This happened completely by accident and through NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I started watching this show last summer when they were in Miami. I had nothing to do. Channel flipping was boring. And these guys were fucking ridiculous I couldn't not watch the train wreck.

I went through a bit of a Jersey Shore hiatus when in Season 3 when they were back in Seaside, I watched an episode that pretty much focused on their crap filled flooded toilet. I hated myself right then and there. I hated myself because I just gave myself permission to care enough about their flooded toilet. That was the last episode I watched of that Season.

But now?! Now they are in Italy! Firenze! One of the most beautiful cities of the world! So of course, I'd need to watch and reminisce about Italy and how much I love it there. Funny enough, one of my first thoughts when I realized they were filming there was that they were going to eat the best food ever. Seriously, if you've never been to Italy you'll have to take my word for it. For those of you who've been there? You know exactly what I'm talking about.

I went to a friend's house last night to watch the first episode. I cannot believe how thin JWOWW got. It's almost enough to make me jealous of her clavicles. But she had to have gotten some serious work done on her face. Weight loss can change your face but not to the point where everything looks like it's been lifted up unless there are some new fancy miniature weights that your eyelids and cheekbones can use.

Snookie. Good lord. I don't know if she's seriously that dumb or if it's for the show. Europe isn't a country. Britain and England are not two different countries. The only thing she got right is that Italy is in the shape of a boot. It doesn't take much to pick up a book and read it just so you don't look like a douche nozzle on national television unless of course it's written in your contract that you must be a douche nozzle.

I think this will be a good season for the kids on Jersey Shore. They are in Italy for fuck's sake. I just hope that they don't or didn't waste the opportunity of living in a magnificent piece of history on gyms, tanning, laundry, fucking and drama. I hope they take in some of the history and architectural beauty that the city has to offer. Not likely.

It's so sad that a place like that is going to be completely wasted on them. I guess only time will tell.
