‘Jersey Shore’ Vs. the State of New Jersey Dec 03, 2024

It’s been 15 years since the premiere of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore.’ At the time, the show stirred up mixed feelings: it irritated locals, offended media members, and even bothered the state’s highest elected official. It was also a bona fide sensation. Even after everyone's anger and fake tans have faded away, there's still a lot to learn from the battle between ‘Jersey Shore’ and the State of New Jersey.

In this narrative feature, Alan Siegel takes a closer look at a pop culture war that, in some ways, is still raging today. Featuring exclusive interviews with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, Alan investigates what exactly ‘Jersey Shore’ taught us about representation in the media, regional identity, and what it means to be a “Guido.”

3. Vindication in the Valley | An American Scandoval Dec 28, 2023

Scandoval wasn’t exposed in a vacuum; no, it broke four episodes into an ongoing season of 'Vanderpump Rules.' Armed with a surprisingly accurate timeline born of Reddit posts, Instagram stories, and podcast clues, reality TV viewers spent the next 10 weeks watching Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss start an affair behind the backs of 'VPR' producers and directly in the face of several friends, plus millions of fans. The hunt for Season 10 easter eggs led to bombshell ratings for a previously waning franchise, and a gold rush for anyone even tangentially related to the scandal. And it all culminated in a three-part reunion that finally answered HOW Scandoval happened, but still left us asking one final question: WHY?

And with the internet as our crime scene and social media as our magnifying glass, fans were ready and waiting to dissect every sound bite, scour every Instagram post, and verify every anonymous source. Yes, Raquel—AND Reddit—are what turned this scandal … into a full-blown Scandoval.

Ten years ago, Scheana Shay walked out of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' and into the first-ever episode of 'Vanderpump Rules,' creating an unholy lineage of mistresses that spans all the way to the now infamous March 3, 2023, TMZ headline: “TOM SANDOVAL & ARIANA MADIX CALL IT QUITS … Allegations He Cheated With Costar Raquel Leviss.” Meet the Cool Girl Ariana Madix and the endearing but toxic Tom Sandoval—'Vanderpump'’s most reliable couple.
