The end of a (cringeworthy) era: Jersey Shore stars say their goodbyes as Snooki and crew move out of MTV house for the last time

For six seasons they've been the stars of the MTV reality show America loves to hate.
But today Snooki, JWoww, The Situation and their Jersey Shore castmates packed up their hair gel and gave each other one final fist bump as they left their TV home for the last time.
The cast has now moved out of the Seaside Heights, New Jersey house where their antics played out on the gratuitous series.

Moving out! Jersey Shore star Snooki on Friday rolled her leopard print suitcases out of the Seaside Heights, New Jersey home where she lived while filming the hit MTV show

Snooki, fluttering her false eyelashes as she rolled her leopard suitcases along, is making a fresh start for herself and her new family. To those who have not obsessively followed along, the petite brunette is six months pregnant with her first child with fiancé (and part-time castmate) Jionni LaValle.


Dwarfed by her hip-length hair extensions, she was joined by Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley, Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, Paul 'Pauly D' DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, Deena Cortese, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola as they cleaned out the home and filmed scenes for their sixth and final season.

Ready to wrap: The street was shut down to allow the crew to film

The sombre mood was palpable among the roommates - notoriously known to argue and throw fists - as they said their goodbyes.
MTV has confirmed the show will no longer feature the group, which together made the Jersey Shore one of America's most popular reality shows.
Over time they have grown into local celebrities. As the cameras rolled, fans cheered, lining the streets barricaded by police while dozens of crew members hovered over the stars to capture their final moments together in Seaside.

From the start the popular program, which averaged 7.9million viewers per episode in its fifth season, received a fair amount of controversy.
The fly-on-the-wall documentary follows a group of people who live in the same summer rental.
In addition to its racy content, producers also came under fire for using the derogatory word 'guidos' in promotional material to describe the Italian-America sentimentality of the main characters - despite Snooki being Chilean and JWoww being Irish and Spanish.

Saying goodbye: Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino and Jennifer 'JWoww' Farley moved as fans gawked nearby

In an acknowledgement of the raunchy nature of the show they were producing, last week it was revealed the cast members were ordered to sign a 'VD clause' in their contract before making an exit.
MTV reportedly added the clause so the cast cannot sue the company if they contract a sexually-transmitted (or venereal) disease.
Under the head of 'Health of Other Participants', the clause states that the cast, who include Snooki and JWoww, take full responsibility for any nasty side effects of the frequent sexual encounters featured in the episodes.

Rolling off: The show was known for pushing boundaries and buttons with its racy content

It states: 'I acknowledge and accept, that the other participants have not been screened for any diseases, sicknesses or other health conditions (and specifically have not been tested for any sexually transmitted diseases) and I assume all risks of interacting with the other participants, including any consensual contact.'
The cast members have been unabashed about their sex lives and one-night stands.
As JWoww famously puts it in the opening credits: 'After I have sex with a guy I will rip their heads off.'
And with that, casting executives certainly have their work cut out for them.
