Jukebox ducks Cuba tips Ruben

The characters in power are Snooki and Mike "The Situation". Mike acts as the antagonist while Snooki attracts the most attention to herself. They're race is Caucasian along with the same age. Snooki is a female, Mike is a male. Verbal violence is the main issue. This supports Gerbner's theory because from season one to season five, they're personalities have transformed into characters of power. Violence is a part of the program, but not physical violence. The verbal violence successfully made the show more entertaining. If there wasn't any fighting going on throughout the programs, there would not be a season 2, 3, 4, or 5. In this episode, the female played the attention-wanter. She wanted everything and everyone to revolve around her.
