Jersey Shore Recap: You Should Be Integritied of Yourself!


Sammi interviews that she doesn’t think Ron knows what he did last night. “I hate being that drunk,” Ron gripes, “I’m fucking miserable right now.” There’s an easy solution; don’t order and consume so many drinks. If you find that you can’t do that under your own volition, I’m sure Mike could recommend a good treatment facility. Sammi asks what he wants to do and Ron says they should go eat. Mike joins Ronnie and Sammi as they walk to Beach Bark for breakfast. “Last night was not a good night for me, bro,” Ronnie tells Mike. “Ron was bombed,” Sammi explains. Ron says that he doesn’t remember going to get food after the club or walking home. “I hate getting like that,” he says. Mike tells him that he was practically falling down drunk and Mike had to grab him to keep him from falling on the walk home. “I cut my leg, I must have fell somewhere,” Ron says. Like down the stairs, maybe?

“My Achilles hurts,” Ron continues. “Was I dancing at all last night?” Mike tells him that he and Vinny were dancing in circles for a while. “I wish I remembered that,” Ron says. No one to blame but yourself, Ron-Ron. “It’s kind of messed up that Mike’s the sober one filling in my holes on what happened,” Ronnie interviews. “I’m just like, ‘I wish I was there because it kinda sounds like a good time.’” Not so much for Sammi.

At breakfast, Mike tells the others that he can’t believe how much better food makes him feel. “I used to need something else, you know?” he says. Sammi says it’s good that he snapped out of it. “Yeah,” Mike agrees. Drug addiction isn’t something you snap out of, it’s something you work through, and I hope Mike keeps remembering that or he’s going to backslide hugely and horribly. “I think a lot of people commend you for that,” Sammi continues. Mike says he wouldn’t wish it on his worst enemy. “You don’t know how to fix yourself back,” Mike says, “cos you don’t remember how you were before. It’s like a little kid, finding how to walk again almost.” Ronnie says that he likes Mike more now than when he first met him.

“I like the way Mike is right now,” Ronnie interviews. “It’s good to see him clean, it’s good to see him doing the right thing, but this house can really fuck you up in so many ways, and Mike needs to be strong because Mike’s definitely gonna have a long road ahead of him.” Mike says it’s like looking at the sky every day and being in awe of it’s being blue, like you’ve never seen it before. Sammi interviews that she thinks Mike being sober is an amazing thing. “He’s walking into this house with a new positive outlook on things, and right now I couldn’t be more proud.” It’s great that everyone is being so supportive of Mike; it would be better if they showed their support by limiting their own drinking and finding new ways to have fun together.

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    18 pages?!?! Holy shit – you totally outdid yourself with this one!

    I don’t get Snooki’s logic either…shocker.

    Tonight’s episode is being previewed as ‘the biggest fight at Karma ever’ and I couldn’t be more excited after the two-hour snoozefest they made us endure last week. Bring it!

    Even if the Bitchuation doesn’t start drinking and drugging brfore the end of the year, I still think you have nailed him. As I said on the previous post, Mike is a “dry user” and has to change his personality for the treatment (abbreviated as it was) to be successful.

    Another not so success? Snooki and Jionni. When I was with hubbycat when we were a new couple, clubbing with my friends was low on my list of things to do. We had fun being out together and that was the whole point. Still do, still is. The two of them look like a middle-aged couple stuck in a failing marraige, rather than a young couple in love. Or even in like.

    Back to reading.

    I must point out GBF and I played our own version of Eff, Marry, Kill this spring but we chose:

    Hipster
    Dooshbag
    Guido

    GBF wisely said the worst would be a combination of all three!

    Last night we had our Eureka moment on this! (obviously a week later than you SuperB) Vinny is a Guido Hipster Dooshbag: GHD.

    Flick that had off indeed.

    Is he not the Tamra Barney of the Jersey Shore???

    @ sassy — OMG, you are so right. Here, let me try again.

    Re: Ronnie and Sammi’s fight in the club — They’re only fighting because they love each other SOOOOOO much. They are totally the bestest couple ever, except for Bella and Edward. Also, drinking so much that he can’t remember what he did the night before is just Ronnie’s way of blowing off steam, there is nothing worng with that, and it’s super mean to hold him responsible for his actions while he’s in that state!

    Re: Snooki’s constant whining about how being pregnant is ruining her fun potential — Being pregnant is really hard! I mean, babies totally ruin your figure, and your hormones are all wacky, and her fiancé isn’t there every single minute to rub her feet and tell her she looks beautiful. Not to mention the fact that babies are, like, totes rare and nobody has ever been through what Snooki’s going through right now!

    Re: Mike hanging out in clubs with his drunken roommates straight out of rehab — Mike has more willpower than anybody in the whole world! His abs are proof of that! Besides, he’s always been a paragon of restraint, as a review of the past five seasons will show; only brings one girl from Karma home at night, only occasionally loses his temper and tries to start fights with people, and he never drank as much as Ronnie back when he used to drink. So what if the statistical likelihood of addicts relapsing is like 70%? Mike is definitely in the 30% cos he is THAT awesome! I bet he’ll help a lot of other people at the clubs who have addiction issues as they see him sipping on his club soda and Red Bulls. What could possibly go wrong?

    Re: Deena’s… everything — Deena is awesome! She’s so pretty and skinny now, and that’s what is really important for a girl. I mean, she has a boyfriend now, right? What matters when you’re a girl is always being happy, pretty, and never ever making people around you have to deal with your real feelings or problems, because then you might not be as popular. Deena’s totally a pixie, a paper doll, a cartoon. She’s a chipper, cheerful free-for-all who lights up a room, and she’ll be totally happy and fulfilled as long as she sucks up and is nice.

    I could continue, but I’m making myself nauseous. As long as these people continue to indulge in unhealthy and hurtful behaviour, I will continue to be judgmental and “negative,” although I prefer to think of it as being reasonable and rational. Their foray into real life is preceded by four years and six seasons of ludicrously irresponsible behaviour from all of them and I don’t think a single cast member has shown any real personal growth or maturity (with the exception of Mike, depending on how he works his recovery.) What is laudable about remaining in the Stagnant Pond of Consequence-Free Perpetual Adolescence?

    @ Mere — Who is fighting, do the commercials give any indication? They kept promising us big fights last season and nothing ever came out of it, I hope this is really a fight and not just someone getting botch slapped and their attacker being bounced.

    @ SSC — You hit the nail on the head with Snooki and Jionni. I’ve often wondered what they have in common because all we’ve ever seen them do on the show is get drunk together and have sex… I somehow doubt that they have a lot to talk about. Like I said in the recap, it looks like Jionni just might have a pretty good head on his shoulders and I think he could provide a steadying , sobering influence for Snooki.

    @ Gypsy — GHD; love it!

    I think we will see a decent fight. I saw some footage on tmz a few months ago when the show was taping, it’s basically a bar brawl if it’s the same one I saw. IIRC charges were filed, but I don’t remember against who.

    SuburBint – I don’t think anyone calls Sammi “Sweetheart”. Rawn’s nicknames for her seem to be “asshole” and “bitch”. Myself, I prefer to call her “douchebag”, but hey, why choose?!

    Deena… awhhh she is like a young girl going through relationship stages as a young woman! Chris seems fine with it so far its just her roommates that aren’t so sympathetic.

    Vinny, you kinda suck.

    Sammi and Ron, ughhhhh.

    Snooki should just be a bubble girl for this season. Like correct me if I am wrong but can’t pregnant people even do simple rides like the farris wheel? like as long as it isnt tossing and turning around?

    @ darling clementine — When I was at the county fair a few weeks back, the Ferris wheel had the same restrictions as the more exciting rides. It’s a liability issue, if Snooki were to go into premature labor on even the tamest of rides, she could hypothetically sue the ride owners, whether the ride were actually the cause or not. We are a litigious society.
