Pop your popcorn, kiddos, because there's a little ~drama~ going down on the Jersey Shore...
You may have heard this week that MTV is doing a Southern-style Jersey Shore reboot called Floribama Shore.
The party's hereee! MTV #FloribamaShore. New series premieres Nov 27 @ 10/9c!
When the reboot was announced, some fans of the original Jersey Shore weren't too pleased.
@FloribamaShore @TMZ Please don't tarnish the name and brand of the jersey shore.
There have been rumors of a true Jersey Shore reunion for years, and this new Southern version of the show was not the reboot many fans were hoping for.
@FloribamaShore We were expecting JERSEY shore and y’all are giving us this. The disrespect.
And now, the original Jersey Shore cast is staging a mini-revolt on Twitter, and TBH it's kinda wild!!!
It all started with this tweet from The Situation.
You heard the People @MTV just bring back the Real #JerseyShore RT if u agree
Which was then retweeted by every single member of the cast*.
The Sitch also let fans know that he and his fellow Jersey Shore castmates were NOT consulted about this reboot. The nerve!!!
@kenny_ahlers No 🤦🏻♂️
Snooki, meanwhile, tweeted 🔥🔥🔥 back at someone who said the OG cast was too old for a reboot. It went viral.
She also faved a whole bunch of tweets from angry fans, including these:
@ItsTheSituation @MTV @DJPaulyD @SammiSweetheart @JENNIWOWW @VINNYGUADAGNINO @RealRonnieMagro seriously, no one wan… https://t.co/FMli9zz7Wz
How I feel when I see @MTV promoting Floribama Shore with Jersey Shore quotes, like @snooki's "Party's Hereeee"....
When I see their is going to be a #JerseyShore spin off with NONE of the OG cast and in Florida and not The Shore… https://t.co/iXcvawhEv6
JWoww also chimed in, posting an article on her own website with the headline:
And DJ Pauly D went on a faving spree of his own, liking all sorts of angry fan tweets about the reboot:
Whatever this “new jersey shore” show is will NEVER be as good as the original. That’s all @snooki @DJPaulyD @VINNYGUADAGNINO
“Spin-Off”? Nope. Rip-off? Yep. There’s only one #Jerseyshore @ItsTheSituation @snooki @DJPaulyD @JENNIWOWW https://t.co/T18LUIItHA
Saying Floribama Shore is the new Jersey Shore is like asking for Fruit Loops and your mom bringing home Fruit Spin… https://t.co/buFaHgBR7i
So, listen up MTV: The people have spoken, and they want a reboot with the original cast. And the cast wants it, too, so just make it happen!!!
