Terry Richardson and the Jersey Shore guys

I doubt I'll watch the second season; a big part of the charm of the first season was that they were media non-entities while it was being filmed, and relatively guileless, or at least unselfconscious. Next time around, they'll inevitably be playing to or against their various personae, as established through the editing, the publicity, the reactions, etc. The same thing happened with The Hills -- in later seasons, the cast comes across, however subtly, as increasingly self-aware and almost mannered. As fond as I am of Kristin Cavallari from her Laguna Beach days, she was unapologetic about coming onto The Hills to play the bad girl/vixen role.

...Someday I'll get back in sync with media fandom, really, and post about wrestling soap operas reality tv a sci fi show or whatever everybody else is squeeing about.
