'Jersey Shore': The Situation causing drama off camera

We have a major situation now.

Ladies and gentlemen, commence the eye-rolling -- we have a "situation" on the set of "Jersey Shore". According to a new report from TMZ, it looks like Mike Sorrentino (better known as "The Situation") is causing so much trouble for production that he's making it difficult to film. As one MTV source put it, "It's gotten ridiculous.  If we tell him not to cross the street, he will.  He just defies us."

So what are some of Mike's other problems? He apparently spends so much time on the phone that it ruins some of the drama for the cast, and this has led to producers struggling to get a substantial amount of material together. We already know that The Situation has aspirations beyond "Jersey Shore", but making it difficult on the crew is a surefire way to make sure your future on reality TV ends rather quickly.

Do you think that "Jersey Shore" could survive without The Situation if they were ever to decide to let him go? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and stay tuned for more of the latest TV news.

    The only reason he continues to do that is because he is allowed to do that. I am sure he is under some sort of contract so enforce it or deal with it. But personally, being a resident of the area we cannot wait till that whole Jersey gang leaves. They are so annoying residents.
