Filming Became A Challenge
Besides money concerns, the cast and crew had to worry about fans once Jersey Shore became extremely popular. They chose Seaside Heights since it was the only New Jersey city that would permit MTV to film. However, once Jersey Shore was big, filming in public became a huge obstacle. Wherever the Jersey Shore stars went, a huge crowd would form. Thus, they hired a security team for when the cast went out, in order to keep the crowd of fans away.

Managing The Crowds
It wasn’t just walking around outside that became a problem. In fact, the police needed to barricade the house to prevent crazy fans from attempting to enter. So, paparazzi and fans ended up waiting outside for hours on end, trying to see the stars. Also, when the Jersey Shore crew worked at the famous t-shirt shop, fans waited in line for hours to get inside. However, MTV producers only allowed a limited number of customers into the shop at a time. Each person who entered was told to act natural and unaware that they were buying shirts from a celebrity.
