We all know that reality TV shows rarely depict anything that could be accurately described as reality. From the Teen Moms to the Real Housewives, just about everyone who's appeared on a long-running reality series has complained at one point or another about being the victim of a bad edit. It's a necessary evil, as producers are tasked with the job of crafting narratives out of raw footage and creating heroes and villains, while in real life, most of us are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. The latest (alleged) victim of this trend is Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who claims his implied affair with “Jewish Barbie” on last week's Jersey Shore Family Vacation was concocted by showrunners in an effort to provide viewers with the drama they crave. Take a look: 1. Ariana’s Parents Ron and Jen have certainly experienced some ups and downs over the course of their relationship, but they remain committed to making it work. 2. Rough Patches Ronnie and Jen’s impassioned confrontations have made for some of the most memorable drama on this season of Shore. 3. What Happens In Vegas … For example, who could forget Jen’s explosive — and unexpected — visit to Ron while the Shore gang was partying in Vegas? 4. What a Drag And of course, there was the incident in which Jen allegedly dragged Ronnie with her car — a confrontation that both sides now say was exaggerated by the media. 5. Even So … Jen has made no secret of the fact that she’s got a bit of a temper (making her a perfect fit for Ron), so fans have been encouraging Magro to tread lightly this season. 6. Enter Jewish Barbie So when Angelina’s friend Lindsay, aka Jewish Barbie, entered the shore-less Shore house and began showing an interest in Ron, there was widespread concern for Magro’s well-being.
