Behind the Screen: Jersey Shore: Family Vacation - MTV

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I think next weeks numbers are going to grow even more.  A lot of people didn't want to watch out of spite and out of lack of interest but now that the reviews are in and the feedback has been fairly good,  I can see it growing.

biggest draw mtv has

The clips I saw of this were actually pretty good lol. The show looks a lot better too. Sammi is definitely missed tho & Angelina needed to be there from jump....or at least have her come in on night 2.

How these people come back years later & steal all the ratings from every other MTV show? Lol

You know MTV exec's ordered a pizza in for their staff celebration today too Lol******* out there patting themselves on the back like "We got a job for 6 more months!"

I haven’t watched the premiere yet but holy shit at those numbers. It pretty much beat everything except for Grey’s and TBBT. 

MTV really needed this, and I’m thinking this might actually end up helping Floribama’s new season as well. 

anon333334#188

Watch viewers be like "if you don't get these Floribama people tf out of here....we want more Jersey!" Lol

Ex on the beach is going to benifit a lot from jersey shore numbers

That Sammi doll was historical lol. I was dying at Nicole vs Sammi. 

omg i was crying so funny

WESANDNANYFAN#191

The thing about this cast is they have been exactly who they've been since day 1. They're the act same as they were on their first season and have such great chemistry. I thought this would be boring but they still have such great chemistry and real drama between them. The deena/ronnie drama and even though sammi wasn't there she was still a huge part of the episode. I LOVE IT.

WESANDNANYFAN#192

Ronnie has really gone down hill.. you can tell Sammi moved on and is truly happy and he hasn't gotten over her. Happy for Sammi<3 He treated her like shit so happy she finally found a good guy

HonestTea101#193

Sammi is literally shitting all of Ronnie with how successful she's doing. She deadass said no to this show and that huge paycheck, you can tell he's hurt about it.

And can we love Deena for sticking up for Sammi because she isn't there? Like yes *****!

HonestTea101#194

To put it into perspective, Sammi legit turned down 2-3 million dollars by not doing this show plus royalties and other promotional stuff. Homegirl living the lush life <3

Deena/Sammi friendship>

Yes, every thursday right after new episodes of jersey shore. Starting this week with the special.

bye I doubt it was that much because i watched an interview & the cast was saying they took a big pay cut for the show.

I didn't know they were that close but I really liked how she seemed to be the only one sticking up for her since Sammi wasn't there to defend herself.

I LOVED the premiere. My only thing is Snooki really ate pizza that was sitting out all night without warming it back up. It was probably cold. I could never.

I think it would have done regardless, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Although I think the ratings are a reflection of the cast to a certain extent I say this is also what happens when MTV actually cares about a show. This show was being promoted on channels outside of Viacom and the cast actually did a media tour and stopped by shows like Good Morning America along with major publications like People and The Hollywood Reporter to promote it. They also did specials and aired marathons of previous seasons before the premiere. I don't want to see Real World return if they don't plan on giving that show the same treatment or atleast close to it.

shboogies#204

It was a great premiere and I'm legit excited for next week's. The preview of Snooki and Jwoww fighting threw me for a loop. They can't be talking about how Snooki losing her ring could ruin her marriage, right? That's a little intense.

theyre not gonna send RW cast members on press tours around the world. These JS kids got special treatment bc of who they are.

This house is gorgeous. Would be a perfect RW house

That is why Jersey Shore and Teen Mom will always have higher numbers than the others shows.

LucciVee#208

Actually watched and was surprised that it kept my attention most of the time. Snooki and Ronnie are literally the same from the original. Mike has softened up a bit but he’s actually likeable. Vinny is still a great narrator and still pretty charming. 

Say what you want about MTV because they have many flaws at this moment but I have to give them props for trying to revive this network. Just a year or so ago we thought the this whole network was on its way to extinction. These numbers should inspire them (something they should already be doing) to start promoting more of their flagships like this. 

TwoStrikes#209

I thought the exact opposite... That 2 hour premiere felt like 6 hours passed and it was still on. 

1888Terrence#210

Does anyone know how far along until Angelina shows up?

Tylermtv#211

I read that Angelina comes during the 9th episode. There is 13 episodes and a reunion special
