Mike The Situation is one of these overnight celebrities since his appearance on The Jersey Shore.

Share housing has become an affordable vacation option for thousands. However, it wasn’t until December 3, 2009 when MTV aired the first episode of its hit series The Jersey Shore, that people everywhere got to see what it would be like to spend a summer partying on the beach and sharing a house with 7 other people. The owner of a tourist shop in Seaside Heights, NJ allowed the 8 young people to live in his beach house in exchange for work at the shop.

Both coming from Italian American families, these two self professed guidos spent a large portion of most days making sure they looked their best. They even made frequent trips to the barber shop where they and the other guys gossiped about what was going on at the house or the girls they recently met.

Mike and Pauly D were not the only 2 interested in casual encounters at the shore.
