Giving Proper Notice
During a 2012 interview, Snooki spoke about the difficulties of filming Jersey Shore. She even blamed some of her more inappropriate behaviors on the environment. Snooki said, “You can’t leave without a film crew with you. If you want to leave, you have to tell them an hour before so they can get ready. There are no cell phones, no TV, and you can’t read. You can’t write or pass notes…It’s kind of like being in jail for two months—and people wonder why all we do is drink! It’s because there’s nothing else to do! It passes the time and makes it fun. If you’re sober the whole time, you will go insane and kill yourself.”

Keeping A Watchful Eye
In addition to being filmed all the time, the Jersey Shore cast had a special roommate watching everything. Executive producer Salsano lived in the upstairs apartment of the house. There, she watched the cast on a 14 camera-feed that was set up in her living room. Oh and let’s not forget the other in her bedroom. Basically, her job was to watch the cast 24/7. Creepy!
