Notes on the rankings... Reconsidering JWOWW

Excellent idea for a Pauly D calendar. However I will up the ante. Not only do I want the standard wall calendar, I’m looking for the daily desk calendar. I want to start each morning with a new hilarious picture and factoid about or by Pauly D.

Yes I recognize that I am probably the last person in America who uses one of those traditional rip of calendars. Currently my desk at work has two –a Dilbert and NY Giants trivia version.

As to your offer to purchase my son a Pauly D poster, while I have no doubt that both he and I will enjoy it, I’m not sure how much his mom will agree that it goes with the Nursery motif. I remember at one point during the wedding planning, I would come up with funny if not mildly inappropriate ideas, and Lisa would kill them. “This is our wedding. It is a serious and important day, and not the time or place for your silly little jokes with your little friends.”

I’m picturing getting a similar speech regarding child raising as I come up with fun ideas for my kid.

On a side note, there is a picture of Pauly D on my office door.

Great idea for an awards blog. Itching for it already.

Not so sure, about CT being that much bigger than Ronnie. I know he is listed at 6 foot, and Simmons once judged him at 240. Guessing that Ronnie is probably 220. I respect a 20 pound weight difference, but Ronnie is a lot more compact. In either case, I would pay good money to watch them fight.

On a side note. I forgot to mention that in Vegas this weekend there was a billboard for a club promoting that Pauly D and The Situation were going to make an appearance next weekend. Imagine if I had been there at the same time.

Okay so I’ll comment on your rankings:

Elite-
Originally I got a head full of steam and was going to argue your choices, but when I step back and take an objective look, I tend to agree. While this is not in my order of preference, you probably got the order right. A few points:

• The Situation and Snookie are far and way the most discussed portions of the show. Not that it is good, it is a combo of their characters as well as how this was edited.
• The Situation seemed to be involved in everything and that is why he is ranked number 1. Also he nicknamed his abs.
• Snookie’s dancing gets her up the list. The only things with her is it felt like she was edited/ put on to be entertaining. She is the least interesting person to me, in that if I could have lunch with anyone person on the show and hear their perspective on the actual experience, she would be dead last. Lets also assume that as the previews infer she has sex with The Situation in the hot tub in the finale and she gets some additional props.
• Pauly D is obviously my favorite. He delivers one-liners, avoids trouble, and is always up for fun. He never completely carries an episode which probably hurts him in the rankings.

The Rest:
I think your big miss is with Jwoww. She feel off pretty dramatically and that was her downfall but look back through our collection of posts and check out Jwoww’s stats. She is pretty absurd. If she had only decided to drop her boyfriend and unleash on Seaside she would have been in the upper tier.
Some other notes:

• Ronnie is real over rated. His size and two fights were good. But otherwise didn’t you get bored with his screen time. He was like watching Ron Dayne on the Giants. All sorts of hype, but an utterly disappointing experience.
• Vinny was just the middle of the road character and simply couldn’t be as interesting as the other folks. At least he didn’t take anything off the table… as opposed to…
• Sammy. Flop Flop Flop all day long. I had low expectations of her from the get go but she got worse throughout the summer.

Going Forward Rankings:
1 A and 1 B
The Situation and Pauly D have for me the most potential. I think the combo of their idiocy and their shtick has more appeal than anyone else. Send these two to Cancun and tell me I’m not watching 10 episodes. If I had to choose a top dog it is The Situation based on his espn performance alone.

2. Jwoww, will pose nude. And my hunch is that some time in the next 10 months if the rent is due and the coffers are empty we might see this young girl in porn. Btw. Here is her site…

How much do you love that she is getting kickbacks from a plastic surgeon.

3. Snookie- I agree that she will pimp herself out, but here is the thing no one is going to want to watch her. She isn’t hot enough to get the “I hope she gets naked attention” And we have already done the ditzy famous thing with Paris Hilton. (who btw is someone people like to see naked.) I just don’t see where she goes.

Here is the thing. In the same week that Pauly D and The situation are getting billboards promiing their club appearances in Vegas, I saw an article in Newsday about Snookie doing promotions at a Long Island tanning salon. Really this is the best she could deliver.

4. Ronnie has a page six article in the works for his next bar fight arrest.
