Film & TV Jersey Shore is FAKE!

It isn't ALL scripted. But you can tell which bits are and which aren't. I'd say it's probably 25% scripted.
You couldn't script most of it anyway, it would be logistically impossible - and criminal, in some cases (ie, Snooki getting punched at the bar by that dude was very much real as he got prosecuted for it, same with the guy that Ronnie fought with on the boardwalk in Season 1, that guy tried to sue Ronnie for assault).
They might say "Hey, you all need to go to the club tonight and we'll film there" for example, but everything that would then happen, actually happens.
You gotta question the whole concept of these shows from day one anyway... purely on the basis that there's cameramen there and people obviously act differently when they know they're being filmed. The reason Snooki is the most famous out of all of them is because she was playing it up for the cameras from day one. The very first episode when they all meet each other at the house - she gets completely wasted and goes to work late the next day because she was throwing up. That's not scripted in the sense that they told her to do it - but clearly she was aware of what she needed to do to garner the most attention from the viewers.
Season 1 is still the most honest though. Reason being, it didn't air for months after it was filmed and thus none of them were known, or famous, throughout the whole of it, or had any idea how it would be edited and how they would be made to look (personality wise) in the final edits for broadcast.
Season 2, they're famous, people treat them differently, if one of them hooks up at a club you can sort of tell that the person hooking up with them obviously knows who they are and what's going to happen, there is obviously more of an agenda because you get the famewhoring people who will hook up with the cast just to get their 15 seconds of fame on a TV show...... and of course, the cast themselves now know what the public perception of them us and thus they live up to the caricatured versions of themselves that have been created by MTV.
I very much enjoyed Season 1 and 2. But Season 3, I haven't been into as much. It's been finished for ages now and I still haven't watched the last 3 episodes or so. I'll get around to it though, but for the reasons above, it's just not AS good now, and when stuff does happen, there's this "outsider awareness" that you can detect from them which makes it all a bit weird. Hopefully the change of country will negate that stuff in Season 4. I'm pretty sure that it will.

Casey, there is a little difference to it being partially scripted to it being fake though.
They could say, "go in that bar and start some beef with the biggest guy there" But to script the actual fight itself where the 'characters' change clothes mid scene just puts the whole show to crap.
I dont watch this show at all btw but my brother is pretty heartbroken right now

Except that's not what happened. The cameras show exactly what happened in that case. A guy at the bar was drunk as fuck, tried to take the shots that Snooki had bought, she screamed at him and he punched her in the face. Snooki didn't start anything in that instance.
And as for the "fight" that this story is referring to, it's in the house, in their controlled environment, between TWO main cast characters, so it's whatever. Only a portion of the show takes place inside the actual house and yeah you can guarantee they re-shoot stuff and script certain parts of that, but like I said, it's not all of it, and pretty much none of what happens outside of the house, cos that would be logistically impossible.

People probably dont give a fuck about this anymore (if they even did in the first place) but that fight went on for a long time and had many "rounds" Its just bad editing on mtvs part. the socks disappearing and reappearing is explained but them showing a clip from round 1 then round 4 when jwow steps in and then back to round 1 or some shit.
Extended scene
Though of course im not totally stupid and know things in these shows are edited in whatever way they want and certain scenarios are set up but i feel the website got it wrong on this one.
Oh and apparently we have a Mersey Shore to look forward too!

It is scripted in that, the events are all set up and put into place, what they do on what day, etc. The reactions arent scripted though.
Faults like this come from post editing that cuts up events to make them flow quicker or have more of an impact. Two separate arguments edited into one, or boring bits (like taking socks off) cut out.
