January is a time for rebuilding yourself. New years mean new resolutions, new goals, new aspirations for self-fulfillment. In short, January is a time to become a better person. And who better to impart the values of personal improvement unto the American population than the cast of Jersey Shore?
MTV has announced the premiere date for Jersey Shore‘s fifth season, during which we’ll see the cast back in New Jersey after their season abroad in Italy. Now that they’re back on their home turf, what can we expect from the newly-cultured Jerseyans we have come to know so very well over the past four seasons? Jersey Shore will return to television on Thursday, Jan. 5 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Another reality show making its way back to television early in 2012 is The Bachelor. This season will focus on Ben Flajnik, a former contestant on The Bachelorette, at the center of the romance competition. Flajnik underwent the disheartening experience of being turned down in a marriage proposal by The Bachelorette subject Ashley Herbert. Hopefully, his fortune will turn around in the upcoming Bachelor season, which begins Monday, Jan. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, in a special two-hour premiere episode.
