In conversation with People, Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi talked about her experience on the show. She said that it was out of her "comfort zone" and was "really nervous" initially.

"I’m just excited for people to see me not drunk. I feel like everyone is used to seeing me drunk and now they’re going to kind of meet who I am today, which is a mom… I just want people to know what my life is like now, but also, I did this show to kind of challenge myself," said the former "Jersey Shore" star.
