def ratchet, the show is like exactly what everyone is like, meaning for every ronnie or pauly d, jwow etc. there are hundreds of people just like them even before the show. its just the type of area since it attracts people from all over NJ and NY. I grew up there but its pretty diverse, lots of italians, eastern europeans, hispanic etc many of the girls are ratchet for sure, but you also get a mix of surfer/hipster type chicks since its by the beach as well. I remember partying one time and this people invited us to their hotel room and they were from Cali and I'm like wtf you are traveled all the way from Cali just to be here lmao. Yeah and the fitness thing is insane here, but it always has been even before the show. 60-70% of my friends in highschool have done steroids before they graduated since the fitness scene is big and competitive. The girls get shit done younger too like boobs jobs and lips, heavy tanning etc. My cousins all bounced there at club Karma that is how I worked there before haha. They are not really "celebrities" here really most people are phased by them at all if seen out in public besides like teenagers lol. Jwow bought her house like 2 minutes up the street from where my parents live and I grew up.
I live in north jersey now closer to the city since I graduated college and still come down sometimes, but
@Cdsnuts still lives there year round and I'm sure he would say the same thing lol
