'Jersey Shore': Will There Be A Season 6? (VIDEO)

There's been a flurry of news over the past few days about the progress of two separate "Jersey Shore" spinoffs: one that will follow Pauly D and another focusing on Snooki and JWoww. Meanwhile, the future of "Jersey Shore" itself remains unsettled. As Sammi and Deena told "Live! With Kelly" (weekdays on ABC), MTV has yet to make any decision about whether the show will return for Season 6.

"We haven't heard anything," Sammi told Kelly Ripa and guest-host Jerry O'Connell. "I'm down. I pray we film again. I would love to film. I love filming," Deena chimed in. "We would love to," Sammi said again, sounding a bit worried they might be getting left behind.

In an interview with The Huffington Post in January, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro said that "Jersey Shore" producers had been looking into alternate locations for the show's possible sixth next season, including Las Vegas and Australia. They briefly looked at Brazil, he said, but deemed it too dangerous.

Another location change might be necessary to breathe life into the boozy reality show, which viewers may be growing tired of. The show's Season 5 premiere ratings were down significantly from its Season 4 premiere, which featured the gang living in Florence. Producers have also reportedly considered re-casting the show entirely.

So while the future of "Jersey Shore" remains unclear, it appears that some type of change is inevitable.

If you caught the Situation's appearance on Donald Trump's roast, you'd know he has a bright future as a humorless comedian.

Brazil is "too dangerous"? They don't want the fake italians there, that's what it is.... Newark didn't want them, why should Brazil?

Jersey Shore Season 6: New Orleans (or somewhere deep SOUTH).

Send them down to New Orleans or somewhere really really southern....
I think the culture shock in itself would be entertaining as hell

Who cares. Never watched Jersey Shore and don't care to. I'm so sick of reality TV with their attention starved people that are about as dumb as a door knob.

Rumors are that one of them is contemplating making a run for the GOP primaries.

I'd be willing to bet they all vote Dem. Assuming they know how to vote.

I was thrilled to hear the chance this garbage will finally go away, but after reading the article, looks like the show is going to spawn off into several shows following these rejects individually!! Jersey Shore is like Herpes, it's the gift that keeps on giving!!
