Melissa Rycroft as Snooki Tye Strickland in a DJ Pauly D costume

Former Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft and husband Tye Strickland decided to bring down the taste level at the 17th Annual Dream Halloween Event by dressing up as America’s favorite guido and guidette, Snooki and Pauly D from Jersey Shore!

The hilarious costumes were only made more so by the fact that Melissa Rycroft has a little fried pickle in the oven! (For those not well-versed in Jerseyshorese, that means Melissa is five months pregnant.)

Rycroft appears to have nailed the Snooki poof, but I think Tye’s blowout needs a little work! I don’t know what Pauly D would say, but in my opinion it’s a bit on the frizzy side. He needs to stiffen that ‘do up because when you’re creeping the Jersey Shore it’s the girls you want smushed, not your hair!
