What worked for Jersey Shore's first season is one simple but vital element: the hilarious characters.  Character draws audiences to any show or movie, and Jersey Shore's personalities including The Situation, Snooki, and JWoww are returning as their instigating selves.  Of course, it wouldn't be Jersey Shore or reality television without a few surprises up sleeves -- one of which looks to be the return of Angelina, the absentee cast member from the first go around.  We're curious to what her role will be in the new season.  After all, we know what to expect from the rest of the gang.

This might be the last rodeo for these cowboys, so whatever was left on the table last time out will surely be brought out now, along with the kitchen sink and the ground underneath it.  July 29.  MTV.  We can't wait!
