Jersey Shore
Make no mistake, the Jersey Shore cast really is that crazy, but for the show, they’re even more exaggerated. Those ‘grenades’ the group brought home after nights at the club? All of them were vetted by producers, not random clubbers. The worst truth is that no one ever called Nicole Polizzi ‘Snooki’ before the show—she put it on her application as a joke! Unfortunately, the joke stuck around for a little too long, but she goes by Nicole these days.
