[h1]'Jersey Shore' Kids Drive Hard Bargain[/h1]
Posted Jan 24th 2010 9:30AM by TMZ Staff

The "Jersey Shore" kids didn't fall off the pizza delivery truck yesterday -- TMZ has learned they have rejected MTV's salary offer for Season 2.

Sources connected with the negotiation say MTV offered Snooki, Pauly D, "The Situation" and the others each a $10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 an episode.

We're told the cast rejected the offer and made it clear -- they were negotiating "Friends" style ... everyone would get the same amount and it had to be a lot higher than MTV's offer.

Sources say MTV came back and doubled the offer -- $10,000 an episode. The cast hasn't responded to the offer.

It's still a bargain. The season finale of "Jersey Shore" was off the charts with 4.8 million viewers.

And, with some members of "The Hills"scoring north of $100,000 an episode, the "Jersey Shore" kids, frankly,should be holding out for a hell of a lot more than $10k.

We'vealso learned MTV has a contractual hold on the cast for another year,so technically Snooki and company have no right to renegotiate -- butit's done all the time with hit shows.

AnMTV spokesperson would not comment on the negotiations and said thenetwork has not made a decision on bringing the show back for Season 2.We're also told MTV has received thousands of tapes from would-beGuidos and Guidettes.

Find another cast - Yes

Find another cast as entertaining as these guys - Doubtful

And I have no problem with them wanting each other to be paid equally, with the exception of Angelina

 

[orenthaljames]

^^I say bring back Snicks, Pauly D, Situation, and MAYBE Angelina for added drama.

I don't ever want to see Sammi and her BS emotional drama on the show again, Ronnie is a simp replace him and get another buff dude who loves to fight, Jwoww really didn't do much except punch Mike, and Vinny was too normal.

[queencitysneakerqueen]

Shame on MTV if I were the cast I'd be insulted

 

[cocolicious]

They should get a raise, the hill were getting paid alot more and it's boring but I still watch it.

I agree with all of this. But Vinny did keep the show from having a guido overload. So he could stay, imo.
