Michael “The Situation” Sorrentino – Yeah, the dude with the abs from Jersey Shore. I haven’t seen that show either, but I know that people who overreact to reality TV think it’s a sign of the apocalypse. But those people have to have 
something to think that about every single year. Granted, the Jersey crew seem to be kind of awful, but they’ll be forgotten in a couple of years and people will move on to panicking over something else. And that’s why I kind of like “The Situation”. He seems to get that the clock is ticking on his fame, and he’s striking while the iron is hot. The guy is going crazy with the endorsements and personal appearances while he can, rather than getting liquored up constantly. In that way, he’s the Gabe Kaplan of the 21st Century. (The Welcome Back, Kotter star invested wisely during his time of the show and set himself up for life.) Still, there’s nothing in his bio that indicates he’s going to be a decent dancer. He’s known for his abs, and bodybuilders know that muscular definition usually comes with a certain loss of mobility. He could be a disaster. His partner is Karina Smirnoff, who took a break last season. She’s danced with both Billy Ray Cyrus and the Woz, so she should be ready for anything at this point.
