In a day and age where going out, getting drunk, and girls-kissing-girls is perfectly presumable club behavior, it may come as no surprise that MTV’s Jersey Shore has taken on the trend, this time with Deena Cortese taking the lesbian lead.
Whether real or scripted, the (in)famous show capable of capturing audiences worldwide went ‘bicurious’ last Thursday in Italy as Cortese explored her ‘lesbionic’ side, as co-star Snooki put it. There, within the walls of a neon-blue nightclub adorned with hunky Italian men, it was a cute blonde twin that caught Cortese’s eye and not the tan muscles of the opposite sex.
The reels show Deena calling the American blonde “a blast in a glass” while dancing seductively on-camera. Later, the lesbian-like couple is seen kissing, cuddling in Deena’s bedroom quarters.
“When you’re drunk, sometimes you kiss girls. I might be bicurious,” said Cortese.
Speculation has long been that MTV producers have scripted the show, but MTV has stayed mum to the allegations. For now, audiences may or may not appreciate the glamorizing of lesbianism in order to gain show ratings.
By the end of the episode, Deena curtsies out of the make-out session – the bicurious blonde twin ends up switching sacks, eventually climbing into bed with co-star Vinny Guadagnino.
Bi, or just playing bi? Audiences will decide for themselves. Until then, MTV’s Jersey Shore will continue to captivate their record audience of 8.8 million viewers worldwide, lesbionic or not.
