I don't understand why people hate the show that much.
Yes its fucking stupid.
AND ITS ALSO FUCKING HILLARIOUS.
It just kinda appeals to a lowest common denominator and promotes low quality shows.
Reality TV is not the thing of many TV and movie buffs but it's still necessary for our great TV shows because they're so inexpensive to make and companies then use the massive profits they make from them to invest in new ventures and better TV shows. However MTV has never made quality TV shows so they shit the get from Jersey Shore just got pumped into more shit. In fact most of MTV is reality shows so all the money they get from them doesn't go into anything productive.
