Secret Negotiations
Apparently, MTV made the decision for another season while the cast was filming Jersey Shore in Italy. No big deal right? Well, actually, the cast did not know any of this was going on. The network negotiated for the next season with the stars’ lawyers and agents, but without telling the stars. Jersey Shore producers feared if they informed the cast, they might act out in rebellion. Since the cast was in their Florence home without access to anything going on outside their filming, it was fairly easy to do this. In fact, the cast members only were told about the 5th season moments before MTV sent out their press release announcing it.
