"Jersey Shore" alleged cast member Angelina is far from being a sure thing for Season 2 -- even though she says she signed a new contract.
Sources involved in the negotiation tell TMZ that the contract Angelina signed is actually a holding deal -- meaning she's agreed to appear on the show, but MTV still has an option to exercise the contract -- or not.
Translation -- Angelina received a holding fee, but MTV can decide down the line whether they want her on the show. If they don't, Angelina will walk away with her holding money -- and that's it.
MTV -- smartly we might add -- is hedging its bet as they map out Season 2 production. The network might be interested in our TMZ poll -- 87% of our readers say they don't want Angelina back. "As we all know by now, MTV will begin production for a second season of The Jersey Shore in the coming months. One of the major underlying issues is whether or not Angelina, who left the show after 3 days, will return for Season 2. I mean I'm not sure what MTV is debating, ANGELINA DOES GREAT THINGS(click her face-first row all the way on the right on the soundboard). I mean she has to be one of the biggest bitches in the history of Reality TV right? On the other hand, the show was extremely successful without her, but I always wonder how things might have been different if she stayed. Would she have gotten punched instead of Snookers? Would she have been a victim of "The Situation"? Could she have handled the antics of Atlantic City? So many questions left unanswered. I say bring the bitch back with a clause in her contract that says she has to be the biggest piece of shit on the shore(or wherever it takes place) just so people have someone to hate on. That's right, I love everyone on the show. It almost feels like they're family by now and I need someone to hate on when things go wrong...Angelina. So MTV, if you really want to stir up some drama, bring back Angelina along with her equally retarded boyfriend so Ronnie can administer a few more "One Shot Kid!" knockout blows!
