Did any of the cast actually talk about what it was like going back to normal jobs after filming wrapped
Rewatching some of the earlier seasons and I keep thinking about the gap between filming and when episodes actually aired. These were regular people working boardwalk jobs and club shifts, and then suddenly there were cameras following them everywhere and eventually a paycheck that probably looked nothing like what they were used to. But what happened between seasons when they had to go back to regular life for a while?
Pauly had the DJ thing already going so that tracks. Snooki built real businesses over time and you can kind of follow that arc. But some of the others I genuinely cannot picture. What did the inbetween actually look like for them? Did anyone ever bring this up in interviews or on one of the podcasts they do now?
I feel like Angelina would be the most honest about it if someone asked her the right way. She has never really seemed like she filters much.
The thing that keeps nagging at me is that the show just skips over all of that and picks back up each season like nothing happened. Vinny touches on real life stuff more than the others from what I have seen, but even he keeps it pretty surface level.
Has anyone followed their offseason lives closely enough to know if this has come up anywhere?
