Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 Starts Miami Era

Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 finally hit the beach last night. With the Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 premiere, Jersey Shore Season 2 begins a crucial time for reality's biggest star. Last year, Snooki, The Situation and their fellow guidos and guidettes became the biggest thing on MTV. However, that was back in Season 1, when they were still in New Jersey. Now they are in Miami, and are trying not to flame out in their sophomore years. Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 began the Miami era, with the same old hookups and brawls as Jersey.

The gang took their talents to south Florida, well before LeBron James and Dwayne Wade copied them. But, eventually, this Big Eight will be heading back to their original beaches. Yet, after the runaway success of Season 1, they are already taking road trips to celebrate.

In Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1, the "surprise" return of Angelina set the crew off right off the bat. For the record, the first cat fight of the new year came between Angelina, Snooki, Sammi and JWoWW in a cab. But the first hookup of the year went to "Single Ronnie."

After Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1, the gang will be staying in Miami for 11 more weeks. Moving them away from New Jersey was bound to be risky, and a test of their newfound star power. They have been on top of the pop culture world this week, but can they stay on top, or will they crash after the initial explosion?

This week alone, the group has rung the bell at Wall Street, been condemned by New Jersey's own governor, and been brought up to President Obama on The View. After all that hype, Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 almost seems like an afterthought.

Given how everyone formed an opinion on the show after Season 1, not much likely changed last night. Those who already love the youngsters - or love to laugh at them - were likely overjoyed to see them again, and those who can't stand them probably didn't change their mind.

But Jersey Shore Season 2 Episode 1 did get the group back in front of the MTV cameras either way, after months of waiting. Now, those who love and mock them - often all at once - finally have new material to go over, on brand new beaches. The Miami vacation continues next Thursday at 10 p.m. est.
