Is MTV actually threatening to replace them with new overly muscular guys and shiny orange girls?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is yes. According to TMZ, the network has offered each star $10,000 per episode for the second season and it&#8217;s not enough for our favorite juice-heads. I can totally see why; not only are gym memberships and tanning packages expensive, but these kids made a lot of money for MTV and they know it. Now that they&#8217;re so big (even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xFPsNWH8avc\">Leo DiCaprio knows what GTL is<\/a>!), they are in a position of power and can demand a whole lot more.<\/p>\n<p>Or so they think.<br \/>\nRumor has it, if our little Guidos don&#8217;t agree to the deal MTV will be replacing them. <span id=\"more-52149\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At first this news was upsetting to me; what would my life be without some Snooki in it? How could MTV betray me like that!? But the more I thought of it, the more I realized that maybe come next summer we&#8217;ll need a new batch of Guidos doin&#8217; their thang at The Shore. A second summer with the same characters will probably get boring.\u00a0 I mean, we already know that every night Ronnie will get in a fistfight, Pauly D will rock a blowout,\u00a0the Situation will bring home &#8220;grenades,&#8221; and J-Woww may or may not cheat on her boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the entire scenario will change now that everyone on the planet will know who these kids are. There was something real and authentic about this season of <em>Jersey Shore<\/em>; these were just your basic Guidos living it up for the summer. That will be lost when you bring back 8 kids who have spent their year getting paid (oodles of money) to party. With celebrities.<\/p>\n<p>While it will be hard to see someone else gettin&#8217; down with hippos in the hot tub, I have faith that a new <em>Jersey Shore<\/em> cast will be better than the original. It <em>is <\/em>MTV, after all. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ve received audition tapes from people more\u00a0annoying and whiney\u00a0than Sammi, more obnoxious than The Situation, and more of a mess than Snooki (okay, that one&#8217;s debatable).<\/p>\n<p>I say out with the old, and in with the new!<br \/>\nWhat do you guys think?<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/collegecandy.wordpress.com\/52149\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=collegecandy.com&#038;blog=860993&#038;post=52149&#038;subd=collegecandy&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like MTV has got themselves a Situation.
