“You’re kidding me right now. Honestly.”
HOLLA, beloved readers! Can I just tell you how much I love you guys? The comments from last week’s recap were amazing! I kept reading them as they came in and I would want to chime in with my own two cents, but before I got a chance one of you would post exactly what I was thinking! This is why I love this site and I love you guys. Everyone articulated their points of view and made excellent points about navigating the dangerous waters of “after-barring” (thanks JudgyWudgy!). Bravo! And LOVE what KKholiday said: “Who knew Jersey Shore would bring up such a serious debate?” Right? Our guidos actually inspired some thought! Now let’s see what they’ve dished up for us this week.
Aw, it’s the final episode of season 2 with our adored guido idiots. But instead of spending every minute clubbing, they are taking time out today to go on a nice guided tour of the Florida Everglades. They’re going to see alligators, or as Pauly D says, “Crocodiles, alligators… whatever you want to call them.” I would want to call them alligators because alligators are smaller. I think. And I think that’s what’s in Florida. I can’t imagine what I would do if I saw a crocodile in the wild. Besides faint. Pauly D is in annoying mode, screaming, “Oh yeah! Everglades yeah!” In the nasal sing-songy crap he does. Quiet down, Pauly D. Oh wait then he makes a funny comment about the propeller on the air boat.
Scanning the surface for crocs…
He says that he wishes he could use it to do his blowout because then he’d be done in 10 minutes instead of 25. Ha! An alligator swims right up to the boat and it’s pretty freaky. Probably just as freaky as a crocodile, now that I think about it. And it doesn’t look small. Do you think these alligators are used to humans staring at them so they come around hoping for food?
When the boat pulls up to a dock the boys all start freaking out and jump out of the boat, squealing like they saw a mouse. The girls all stay in the boat laughing at them. It turns out the insects here are huge and the guys were trying to get away. These guys are such wimps. They’re probably worried that the bugs will mess up their hair.
But Pauly, you could redo it in 10 minutes with the propeller!
Next up is lunch! And the cafe on-hand is serving frogs, alligator and catfish. And we’re not talking about dainty little frog legs, like the French eat. We’re talking an entire frog that someone plucked out of a swamp, dipped in batter and deep fried. It’s disgusting.
Jabba the Hut lunch special
This would be like going to the zoo then at the end of the day eating the monkeys and elephants. You just saw them in their natural habitat! Jwoww points out that frogs eat flies and there is yet another reason not to eat them. She hates frogs anyway, but watching her roommates eat them is enough to send her to the restroom to vomit.
Driving home all those frogs that Sitch sucked down are catching up with him and he makes Ronnie pull over so that he can regurgitate his crispy lunch. So gross. Who wants to make out?
At home Pauly D calls his rarest rose Rocio to see if she’ll have one last dinner date with him. She will, of course, and Vinny wants to do the same thing with Americus. Being that Vinny is totally in love and all, he makes a dinner reservation for 8:00 and then proceeds to sit around the house and wait for Americus to show up. Hasn’t he learned by now? Americus is NEVER on time if she comes at all! Vinny, you should have told her an hour earlier than the actual time. Keep up!
“If I didn’t love that slut so much I would freaking kill her.”
After Vinny comes close to tears fearing that he is being stood up yet again, Americus FINALLY calls to tell him she’s almost ready. Almost ready? OMG, this girl has never known anything except being waited for. Hasn’t she ever had to hurry? Or even be punctual? Vinny is not amused. He goes, “Be here ASAP, come on!” Vinny waxes sentimental to us about thinking he would be banging everyone in sight, but all he wants to do is take Americus on a date. Like this makes him a sensitive hero. I wonder how long he would think her perpetual tardiness is cute. He already seems to be over it. Then he tells us that he wants Americus to know that he DOESN’T treat girls like this. AT ALL. Okay, I get that what he means is that she should feel special, but if a guy told me after being sweet that usually he treats girls like crap, I would not be impressed. See, nice guys are nice. Period. I don’t buy the whole, “I’m a jerk but I’ll be nice to you” routine because then the guy always ends up feeling like you should be grateful to him for going out of his way and he’ll end up being a jerk anyway because, well, he’s a jerk. Not flattering. Red flag territory. They discuss what is going to happen when Vinny goes home and it’s basically nothing. She tells him not to look at club dancers in New York and he says that they’ll all remind him of her. Ha! He’ll be off at strip clubs insisting he’s just paying homage to his long lost sweetheart. They kiss goodbye and Americus goes off to meet up with her next date.
“Gotta go, Vinny! I’m almost an hour late for my… um… appointment!”
Pauly D and Rocio are having a similar evening and Pauly D lists off to us all of the wonderful things he’s done for Rocio (conveniently leaving out all of the other hook-up attempts) and says he’d really like to have a girlfriend. Rocio says she hopes the distance won’t ruin everything, but Pauly D says they’ll make it work. I hope Rocio is up for the idea of an open relationship or else there’s going to be some speedy disappointment.
“So yeah, I’ll bang other chicks, but I’ll only care about you.”
They kiss goodbye and Pauly D says he doesn’t want to “smash it out” with Rocio because she’s not that kind of girl. That’s just special. Of course, he WOULD “smash it out” with just about anyone else who is willing. That’s true love.
Ronnie and Sammi are also having their final Miami dinner and needless to say it turns into a fight and we’ll just leave it at that. You know the drill. Oh, but I will point out one thing Ronnie says that I hate. He tells Sammi, “How about you be a grown-up, a 23-year-old woman.” I’m not about to defend Sammi and I know she’s insane, but I had an ex-boyfriend who would say that to me and it is so demeaning. Like I remember once we were driving somewhere and I said I was hungry and he said, “Can you be an adult and wait 15 minutes?” What a creep. Just had to point that out. Next!
The roommies are all at home waiting to hit the town one last time, but they can’t leave because they are waiting for Ronnie and Sammi who are out on the patio… fighting of course. Vinny finally just yells at them that it’s time to go. And it’s off to b.e.d., how surprising. Ugh and the fight continues. It ends as always, and they’re back to sucking each other’s faces off. Wouldn’t you two be more comfortable in some sort of asylum?
Elsewhere these two dirty looking girls are all up on Vinny, asking him if they’re going to get it in and promising him the threesome of a lifetime. He tells us they’re okay, they’re not the prettiest girls, but sometimes two grenades add up to one hot chick. Oh is that the rule for the next five minutes? He’s all flummoxed now because what about his feelings for Americus? What about being a jerk to everyone but her? Vinny grabs Pauly D to find out what he should do. Pauly D is like, “Uh, what’s the problem?” because we all know that rarest rose or not, Pauly D would be all over that.
“…Unless you’re worried they might be trannies.”
But Vinny isn’t so sure. Maybe he doesn’t want to go back to being mean to girls just yet. Then he says very intently to the camera, “When you actually have a good girl out there, say NO to ho’s.” Ha ha ha ha ha! As if Americus isn’t busy getting money shoved into her panties.
Sitch sees Vinny wavering and immediately jumps in to scoop up the leftovers yet once again. These girls clearly just want some camera time because they barely even notice that Sitch took Vinny’s place and they shove their tongues down his throat without missing a beat. Sitch acts like a hero warrior, of course, when all he really is is a dog waiting for crumbs from a table he can’t reach. The three of them retire to a bathroom stall and the alleged threesome takes place.
Hygiene, schmygiene.
Okay what? How? I am certainly no expert on the art of the threesome, but wouldn’t you need more room? I’m even confused when two people manage to make something happen in a tiny public stall, but how did three? It’s a riddle wrapped in an enigma. And the puzzle that will end our final evening of clubbing.
Okay, maybe Pauly D DOES have some standards.
The next day Jwoww is being a sweet big sister type by cleaning out the sure-to-be disgusting refrigerator. At least she’s wearing latex gloves.
…Which might be a good idea at all times, by the way.
It seems that Snooki has been nominated to make dinner again. This time there is no tomato paste involved so she may have a chance. She goes out to the hot tub where Sammi and Ronnie are making a baby and asks Sammi to come help her make tacos. Sammi immediately just says no. Without even considering it. MAN she sucks. Snooki goes back in and Vinny says he’ll help her. That’s about it, but Sitch walks by and goes outside to tell Sammi that everyone inside is talking crap about her. Shut UP, Sitch. You suck too. Aren’t there some homeless women nearby willing to have a threesome with you in a dumpster?
So Sammi goes inside and does this over-the-top fake “I’m here to help you!” bitchy act. She mumbles passive-aggressively while she browns the meat and pouts.
“I owe Snooki nothing. Ronnie is the one who was always there for me.”
Snooki goes outside to commiserate with Jwoww, who tells her to let it go because Sammi is never going to be decent. I don’t know how Jwoww can keep her cool with Sammi around being awful all the time. I commend her. Over dinner, Sitch continues his quest to hurt people’s feelings and offers to give Ronnie a trophy for all of his slutty behavior during the first couple of weeks at the house.
“Any reaction? Anything?”
Then he wants to give a trophy to the person who has done the least in the house, which makes Sammi tense all up. What are you worried about, Sammi? You were so nice about helping with dinner!
And later, the activity for all of the roommies for their final night in Miami is… taking shots and insulting each other! Woohoo! Out comes Vinny with the question bowl and says they’re going to name all the most likelys. Like most likely to succeed, etc. Pauly D starts writing and goes, “How do you spell ‘likely?’” And we’re off! Vinny asks who has been the life of the party this year and when everyone decides on Snooki, Sitch is visibly pissed. Isn’t he their fearless leader, after all? Pauly D gets most likely to get skin cancer. Sitch says Vinny is most likely to be a follower because last year he didn’t hang out with Sitchy D, but THIS year all of a sudden he wanted to. Ronnie says Sitch is just mad because Vinny “pulled a robbery” with Pauly D, taking him from Sitch. What is Sitch’s problem tonight? He must feel very sub par to try to make everyone else mad like this. The yelling starts, but then Jwoww stops everyone dead in their tracks by saying straight to Sitch’s face, “We all know who the fakest one in the house is.” Whoa! Now that Sitch isn’t the insult ringleader he’s pissed and wants to know who had the nerve to call him fake. He tells us it’s no wonder that people waited until the last day to call him fake because if they had done it in the first couple of weeks they would have been isolated. Oh yeah, sure. It’s so funny how he thinks his little asides to the camera are going to save face when in reality they just make him a bigger buffoon. Sitch retaliates, saying the fakest person isn’t Angelina since she’s gone. It’s Jwoww. I know you are but what am I? Right Sitch?
The guys and Sammi go in the hot tub and Jwoww and Snooki start rehashing the “fake” conversation. Snooki tells Jwoww that Sitch called her fake and Vinny and Pauly D agreed with him. Well, now it’s on, so Jwoww pulls Sitch aside and says Pauly D called HIM fake. Sitch runs back to Pauly D and tells him what Jwoww said and in about 30 seconds everyone is gathered around the hot tub screaming at the top of their lungs. Who called whom fake? Who’s fake? Who’s real? Who said it? WHO CARES??? You’re all drunk, this is so stupid. Pauly D screams louder than I’ve ever heard him scream.
His rage is turning him a deep tomato orange/red.
Don’t these people have neighbors? Certainly other people live in this Metropole building. When things finally calm down Snooki is still upset because she feels like she came off as the troublemaker. She lashes out at Jwoww for making her look bad. She says she’s so worked up that her blood pressure is “off the roof.”
Through the roof? Off the charts?
Doesn’t everyone understand that she’s just trying to have a good time right now? She’s in her bedroom whining at a high pitch and everyone else is sitting in the living room listening to her and shaking their heads. When Sammi tries to pipe up Ronnie goes, “Whatever, mind your business.” OMG, it’s funny and degrading at the same time. Does Sammi have daddy issues or something? Why would she want a boyfriend who talks to her like that?
Finally Sitch realizes that he started all of this tonight and he goes outside to tell Snooki that everyone’s already forgotten about the whole thing and no one’s mad at her. He scoops her up and brings her inside. And look, now he’s the glorious peacemaker. Maybe that’s why he picks fights, so he can stop them and be the giver of mercy. Anyway, fine, it’s over. Let’s get on with it.
“Come on Snooks. It’s time for my grand finale.”
The final breakfast is prepared by Sitch, of course, and he pops some champagne to toast to goodbye. I’m surprised he doesn’t spray it in everyone’s face so that he can wipe it off and be their loving caretaker. As Pauly D packs, he finds HEAPS of phone numbers he collected while he was here. I guess he’s only taking the rarest rose’s number with him. Gotta have room in his pockets for all those New York numbers! As everyone gathers in the living room, the first cab arrives to take Ronnie and Sammi away. Thank goodness. Nobody wanted to spend anymore time with those two. Sammi bawls to the camera that Ronnie hurt her and embarrassed her, but they’re good now. Oh yeah, you’re good now. Until the next time you try to have a conversation. There are hugs all around. Except Sammi won’t hug Jwoww. What a brat. I hope she’s mortified watching all this.
Well Sammi was betrayed, boys. Betrayed.
Jwoww says Sammi is pathetic, but with what Ronnie is sure to do to her in the future, she’ll realize who was really trying to be there for her all along. Word. I would totes be friends with Jwoww. Even in her mesh prostitute outfit.
A crow lands on the patio, so the guido gang takes this as a bad omen. Snooki says that the crow quacked at them, which means someone is going to die. But it won’t be her. Oh Snooks, how I’ll miss your pearls of wisdom.
“I can’t die before I marry a gorilla juicehead, move to Jersey and live my life.”
Vinny is next to go, and he tells us that MVP left its mark on Miami and no matter what happens now MVP will live on forever. Bye Vinny. See you at your wedding. HA! Jwoww and Snooki are road tripping back up north so they kiss Sitchy D goodbye and are on their way.
“I can’t wait to see those douchebags at the reunion!”
Sitchy D are also road tripping so they head off as well… into the sunset.
“Is that a grenade you just ran over?”
So that’s it! Season 2 has wrapped! I have to admit that I am completely addicted to this show and I’m excited every week to see just how they’re going to piss me off. It’s one of those catch 22’s where I’m appalled and intrigued and delighted all at the same time. Some of these characters have really grown on me – like Jwoww and Pauly D. Some of them have gotten worse – like Sammi and Ronnie. And some continue swinging on that pendulum from love to hate, sometimes many times in the same episode.
It was fun to follow our gang around Miami, but I’m excited to head back to Seaside Heights where it all began. We’ll see them in their natural habitat… then we can deep fry them and eat them. What did you guys think? Love? Hate? Heads about to pop off? Let’s hear all about it!!
Thanks for reading!

Love the shoutout, thanks! Glad I could be of service. Now on to reading (as Teen Mom plays in the background. Ugh, what’s wrong with me?)
“Well Sammi was betrayed, boys. Betrayed.”
Shouldn’t that be TRAWWWWMATIZED? LOL. Looking forward to the reunion, but even more so, the next season! What a way to start 2011.
Here’s your answer about gators and crocs: The crocodile is bigger than the alligator. The crocodile can grow up to 4,400lbs while the alligator can grow to about 3/4 this weight. Maximum length on a croc is about 28ft while an alligator is about 20ft.
So in short, they’re both freakish, prehistoric beasts, but only alligators get to troll down Frat Row at the University of Florida. (Seriously, I actually saw one walking down the street from Lake Alice to the sewage plant.)
Maybe that’s why the cast liked them.
Okay, now that I’m done reading I can say that YOU coined one of my new favorite phrases, “when all he really is is a dog waiting for crumbs from a table he can’t reach.” SO TRUE!!
Also, as much as I have loathed Ronnie this season (I recently watched season 1 and remembered why I liked him then, he seemed SO much better), he occasionally goes and does something that makes me side with him, like when Sitch ran out like a little bitch and told Sammi they were talking “mad shit” about her – which they WEREN’T – he was able to see right through it and asked him why he was starting trouble. And then interviewed that Sitch will instigate and then go take a nap. Also SO TRUE!!!
Great recap; so glad you’re doing the reunion!
And I can’t recommend enough taking one of those airboat tours of the Everglades. They may be killing machines but they’re also pretty lazy so unless you throw sticks at them or their babies they’d rather just float around looking like logs, or sleep in tall grass.
It could have been either alligator or crocodile. The crocodile has a thinner longer snout. The Everglades are the only environment in the world where crocs and alligators live together.
Great recap!
@Vallegirl It’s the Annual Biggest Cocktail Party in the world this weekend. As a matter of fact started Sun for folks getting ready for the Gator Vs Bulldog Game! Good times all around.
Actually we don’t have Crocs in Fla.They live in Saltwater predominately. Except for..and this is kinda cool, in the Everglades. The Everglades here in Fla is the only place in the world where Alligators and Crocs cohabitate. These are freshwater Crocs.
Our gators are always in lakes, or as you have seen for yourself on the street!!! lol And on the football field
Go Gators !
I hadn’t started hating Sammi until this episode. I was clinging to my memories of her putting Sitch down in season 1, but then she started acting like the stereotypical needy chick at dinner with Ronnie, and my brain switched to SAMMI YOU MISERABLE HOOR. If she disappears from season 3, I won’t be the least disappointed, although it would be exciting to see Snooki, Jwoww and the new chick gang up on her.
Which reminds me, are you coming back to recap season 3, Honey?
Everyone kind of showed their true colors this season. Last season I though Sitch was funny, Ronnie and Sammy were cute but disfunctional, J-Woww and Snookie were fake annoying skanks and Pauly D was a tool. And was there a guy named Vinnie last year???????
Now, Sitch has become the worst possible parody of himself (really close to acting like one of the guys from the Night at Roxbury), Ronnie and Sammy need to break up immediately. go into therapy (separately of course)and NEVER grace our TV screens again, Jenni and Snookie seem to be the most honest about who they are (!), Pauly D has a joy for life and would be fun to have at a party and Vinnie? The best hope ouyt of all of the guys for turning out normal. He should marry Snookie and have babies!
Oh and why did everyone pick Snookie up so much this season and carry her around? That was really demeaning. I’m only 5 feet tall and no one has randomly just picked me up and carried me around. I would kill them! LOL maybe that’s just me!
Can’t wait for the return to the shore!
Hilarious recap, as always!
Whoo Hoo Honey Gansta,
I was witing for this and you did not disapoint! Thanks.
Yes. I do think that both Ronnie and Sammie belong in an Asylum. And, thank you again and again and again for not sharing their fights when you recap. You really get me
Unfortunately Vinny doesn’t get it does he? Poor Vinny. He thought he was in Americus but he was just in Miami. Poor Dumb Vinny.
Looking Forward to the reunion.
TC,Robin
@harleigh14
I am 5’2 and nobody does that to me either. I am thinking maybe Snookie was snookered alot and needed to be carried? Other times I think she was just lazy and wanted someone to carry her. Did you see how much that gal slept? lol
TC, Robin
Love the shoutout, thanks! Glad I could be of service. Now on to reading (as Teen Mom plays in the background. Ugh, what’s wrong with me?)
@Robinez – Homecoming and the UF/UGA games are the times I really miss Gainesville the most. And watching the random gators walking down the street. I used to live on Old Archer Road, so I knew from wandering gators. Although, I’d guess the biggest I ever saw was 6′-8′. It never ceases to freak the non-Floridians out when I tell them the stories.
@Vallegirl
My MIL lives off of Archer
There is excitement in the air this time of year for sure. It turns into a big party and the best part is, although it is a certifiable rivalry, folks take pride that it is a friendly rivalry. Gator fans will share a propane tank, etc and vice versa.
I have seen so many real gators in my life that it isn’t really a big deal to me. But I love it when folks that arent used to, or have never seen them come down. I get a kick out of them seeing them. Although they get a kick out of our gecko’s too! LOL So a gator is big time.
Go Gators. Hugs, Robin
Awww..I’m gonna miss these kids. I said on Nad’s newsgasm that I wish MTV would just start the new season immediately instead of waiting until January. What am I going to do until then? (Watch Bravo, that’s what!) But tuning into MTV for a show that actually interests me (without depressing me, like Teen Mom) is so rare, that I look forward to the Shore. (and R.J. Berger..)
The Sitch likes to create situations (pun intended) so he can sit back and watch then appear to be the peacemaker when he really is the shit-stirrer. I read recently that his homelife was tumultuous with his parents fighting and even threatening murder and adultery, all in front of their kids. I wondered if this is why he tried to be the family man, cooking dinner, imposing bedtimes, and the like. Then again, maybe he started the fights in his fam, “Dad, it’s okay..Mom was talking shit about you but it’s cool.” Then when his dad’s neck was wrapped around his mom’s throat he would appear, ever the hero, “Can’t we all juat get along?”
http://www.icelebz.com/gossips/parents_divorce_papers_reveal_the_situation_s_childhood/
(may also explain why he’s such a good cook. someone had to feed the fam while the parents were putting the beats on each other)
Poor Snooks. Who else’s heart broke when she was sobbing thinking the others were mad for her. I posted that she looked so soft and vulnerable, like a well worn Care Bear.
Gators are very docile in the wild. When I worked as a tour guide in South America, I had a route that passed through the Brazilian Amazon. There was a locsal guide that took us piranha fishing and alligator catching. The alligators (babies..no more than 1.5′ long) were caught at night. But in canoes or on horseback we would pass right by them and they wouldn’t even blink. One day, while fishing for pirahnas, I was standing knee deep in the water (nothing happened), a 4-foot gator came by and snapped at my hook which had a chunk of beef on as bait. I tried to pull my makeshift rod (bamboo and string) out of his mouth but it wouldn’t budge. He was literally 5 feet away from me but didn’t come any closer! The local guide removed it with a quick flick of his wrist, while holding my rod. He said that because the alligators there are at the top of the food chain and have no predators they fear nothing, and will not attack. Seemed a little ironic that a little while later I was eating a sandwich made with gator meat. So much for no predators..
Maybe I should clarify, tha baby gators that we caught were released back into the wild after a lesson from the guide and a few pics we all took with them. The larger, adult gators never pounced, even on the horse’s ankles that walked righy by as they sunbathed on the riverbanks. Now, as far that that gator sub i ate..I don’t know how old it was, or how it was captured. I got it from a restaurant, not from the lodge where we were staying in the jungle. (It was tough and not very tasty so i’m gonna reckon it was a crotchety grandpa gator with nothing to live for)
@Robin and Valle, I live here in Atlanta and I don’t think the Bulldog Nation thinks of this rivalry as friendly. But that could be because they are generally on the losing end of it.
@Robin – you’re so right. I am a Midwesterner who was recently in Key West and I couldn’t get over the wild iguanas. They’re like squirrels to you guys!
Thanks for the shoutout.
My favorite line of this recap was, “Aren’t there some homeless women nearby willing to have a threesome with you in a dumpster?”. Cause you know he would! He’d try to pass it off as charity!
@sarcasatire: It’s not surprising that Sitch was brought up in a bad home. I wonder if he will end up beating women too.
Great recap! I’m going to miss this show.
Go Gators! I actually went to Mizzou but my husband went to Florida. I live in FL now and grew up here so there the FL team I root for.
If you want to see freaky iguanas – go to Boca Grande. They have taken over the place. Also, I was told before that crocs have a pointy snout whereas gators are more rounded. Also, frogs taste a lot like chicken!
Ronnie telling Sammi that she is a 23 year adult was long time coming. She looks for Ronnie’s permission/approval for everything which is childlike. Believe me my Mother would tell me that all the time(I had/have a whining problem ) ‘speak like an adult, you’re not a child’, I never took it as demeaning she was stating a fact! Thank you for not delving into their ‘fight’! I can’t stand Mike and his temper tantrums and trying to strum up drama. Sorry Vinny had to come into his own and he appears to be better at being a ‘MAC’ that Mike. Mike is jealous of Vinny who happens to be YOUNGER and more attractive. IMO, spray tanning is better than sunning or going to a salon……UV rays aren’t in a bottle;). Poor Snookums, I don’t know why I love the tiniest of the Jerseyites…..remember Webster, everyone would carry him around. Was I the only one slightly afraid when Pauly went off…….veins popping out bugged eyes and that loud voice. Snooks little squeak/squeal thing with her little eyes so wide I felt sorry for her. I think Snooks thinks her friendship with Jenni is closer than it actually is, not saying that Jenni doesn’t like her……but Jenni knows they are on a TV show. Please let Snooks and Vinny get married and have little Vinooki’s running around.
I think Snooki and Jenni are good friends, but Snooki was stirring up some shit with Jenni. She wanted it to look like SHE was Jenni’s only friend and told her she couldn’t trust anyone, including Vinny and Pauly and she was pretty explicit about it. Jenni was hurt and lashed out and the fight ensued. Had Snooki just kept it to “Mike was talking shit about you,” Jenni wouldn’t have gotten so angry.
So I thought a lot of Snooki’s baby girl response had to do with her trying to deflect the anger that would have been directed at her if/when the truth about her shit-stirring got out. They all screamed at Jenni but babytalked to Snooki not to feel bad. That no one was angry with her. But she started it.
I generally like Jenni and Snooki the best, but Snooki was, at best, inadvertently shady about the whole thing.
What is the big deal about being called fake? If someone would say that to me I would have paused, laughed and asked for clarification. If it is appearancewise then it would be Jenni, fake boobs, fake hair, fake tan, fake nails. If they mean twofaced then of course Mike.
It just doesn’t seem to me something that should have started that big of a donneybrook. But I’m not a twentysomething quido(ette) that sheds tears of vodka so what do I know.
The boys are four of the most charming guys I have ever seen. If I saw one of my sons talk like that about women you would have seen a disembodied hand snatch them by the tiny hairs by their ear and yank them out of the television then watch them come back onscreen disheveled apologizing and wiping the tears from their eyes.
Sammi needs a shoe thrown at her.
BTW I don’t condone violence.
At all
I sincerely hope that MTV doesn’t keep these people around for a third season. I enjoyed the first season, partly because it made sense to show these kids in their native environment. Moving them to Miami turned this into a personality-based show, and let’s face it, these people just don’t have the shoulders for that. And they’re not exactly kids anymore — next season, half of them will be turning 30, right? Maybe it’s time they get jobs.
@itchy: too late. Next season was shot this summer..but atleast it’s really at the Jersey Shore. Also, there’s a new cast member..a potty-mouthed trollop. Should fit in seamlessly.
I’m almost glad this is over, I needed the break and I think the guidos did too – those last few episodes weren’t too pretty. It had that definite “the party stragglers” vibe, I hate those types in real life – watching it happen over three weeks was slightly excruciating.
I heard the Situation had a rough childhood too, but I’m having a hard time giving him a pass on some of his behaviors. I can deal with the fact that he’s boorish and and oaf when it comes to women, and I can even deal with the fact that he’s kind of a dick to people he deems “weaker”, like Vinny. But his controlling actions with the other roommates, especially the girls, is crossing big-time lines. Also, his constant instigating has a really nasty edge to it – it almost borders on abuse. Some people instigate drama, and it’s annoying – but in his case he instigates people to the point of rage, and that’s a little too out of control for me.
I know no one will agree with me, but I thought Snooki pulled a real dick move by going to Jenni with the Big Head Nodding Debacle, and then expecting her not to say anything. How was that fair? On her last night, Jenni’s supposed to just accept that the whole house basically turned on her? WHICH THEY DIDN’T. I also think Snooki uses her size to avoid certain consequences – Pauly had every right to be pissed, and she retreated into helpless munchkin mode – not cool, IMO. Own your shit Snooki!!
Sammi is just a rotten skank. I think Ronnie is a douche, but she does act like a child – and it’s tiresome and annoying to watch it for 10 minutes a week – I can’t even imagine living with it. I’m not keeping up with the JS news, I hope she’s not on again though. I just want to reach through my TV and shake her and say,”AMERICA THINKS YOU SUCK.”
I just need to say… GO GATORS!!!!!
As an aside, my husband was totally pissed that the douchebag team on Amazing Race were wearing Florida caps last week. We are both from Jacksonville so our blood runs orange and blue.
Oh… and so that I at least partially can be on topic. I think that Sitch is jealous of Vinnie’s package. Didn’t Snooki say it was a baby arm? Sitch’s behavior makes me think he is lacking in that dept and is compensating with his attitude toward women.
@sarcastire – your croc story cracked me up – all I could think of was Coach’s Amazonian Pygmy tribe story.
Excellent recap Honey!!! Hilarious as ususal. Judgy the crumbs line was totally my fave line too! @ Vallegirl, after this episode I told my sister we are doing an airboat tour when we drive to Miami from Atlanta next year (if we have time). I am so excited!
HG hope to see you for season 3 and definitely for the next season of Bethenny
@msjacqmills: lol..color me intrigued..was this Coach, the sitcom? I loved that show!
Alligators are horrific, and can climb high fences in seconds. They are also REALLY fast on land, and kill an adult in seconds.
I worked with this girl like 20 years ago, and her 3 year old niece was taken and eaten by an alligator while she and her 9 year old brother were walking their puppy. It was in FL, and the gator scaled an 8 foot fence in about 15 seconds – he mistook the toddler for the dog. It made the national news, and it was horrifying. I HATE gators.
I know some of you will think that story is funny; I can tell you after seeing the family struggle with losing a child that way, it wasn’t.

Very Interesting!
Snootches B: I think you hit the nail on the head (heh) regarding Mike and Vinnie. I think Mike is jealous for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the “baby arm” issue. It was pretty much pointed out this season that Mike falls into the category of “Minute Man”, as we saw with several ladies that weren’t in the bedroom more than a few minutes.
I’m sure at least a few women have called him out on this.
Sammie……. You do wonder how the self-esteem got THAT low. She clearly thinks what Ron did was, if not entirely OK, then a forgivable glitch. I might feel worse for her if she hadn’t focused her Bitch-Laser on her inept but well-meaning roomies. That was just both bizarre and more than a bit psycho. She so clearly needed to be mad at SOMEONE. Just not the guy that cheated on you.
CAUSE SHE WAS TRAUMATIZED!!!!!!!!!!
@Robin, I just read that article… I can’t help but wonder though if Miss Teen Florida Runner Up is playing with a full deck. She meets him, he’s a douchebucket; he says rude sexual shit to her; he tells her he plans on bringing her home for sex; she goes home with him; she gets in his bed; he’s still a douche. What is she “speaking out” about?
It’s like going to a strip-club and getting mad because people are taking their clothes off on stage – WHAT THE FUCK DID SHE THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? I’m not buying any of this bullshit about how women have no responsibility in this kind of situation – GET A GRIP. If it walks like a fuck, and talk likes a fuck – it’s going to want to fuck. If you’re not DTF – then go grab a Moons Over My Hammy sammy and then GO HOME.
@zombie cheez
That is a horrible story about the toddler. I don’t find it funny at all. I used to ride horses in wooded areas and we always kept an eye out for gators b/c we were always told they could catch or beat a horse for the first 30′ or something (long time ago – don’t remember the details, just know that I keep a wide berth around wild gators).
On another topic, didn’t Angelina also intimate that Vinny was hung well? This show should help him out on the dating scene. If not just for the girls who are curious.
Who said the women weren’t responsible for their actions? She was responsible for going home with them, and Mike was responsible for being a gross, coked-up freak. She’s owning her decisions.
I didn’t read anywhere in that article that she’s claiming anything more than what happened. She and her friend wanted to meet the cast, started talking to Vinny ended up talking to Mike and found themselves going back with them after the fight. I find her explanation of why she was in his bed plausible enough, and she’s not asking for pity or money, anyway, just sounding the warning that Sitch is even more disgusting than he’s being portrayed as.
I personally wouldn’t expect a guy who I didn’t know, who asked me if I liked my hair pulled during sex because he was going to “fuck me” later, to turn into Prince Charming once I actually went home with him, then stupidly climbed into his bed. The hair pulling question would have been enough to tip me off to the fact that I was dealing with a douche-bag who probably didn’t have a whole lot of respect for women. She’s not owning up to her decision – she’s whining about it, and how do we know she didn’t get paid?
I’m not getting in this debate again, there are as many stupid women as there are douchey men, and climbing into bed with a man you don’t know is just plain stupid. And UM – YES, if you wear hooker-gear into a biker bar, and leave with “Killer” at 4 am after doing 10 shots of tequila – you may be going down for a happy ending and a dirt nap. Oh, and believe me when he’s pumping you full of semen and stabbing you in the neck the last thing you’ll be thinking is “No means no!”
So, how did the term ‘one night stand’ get so popular? I thought it was because many people have had/are having them. In droves. *shrugs* I guess it turns out that a large percentage of women going home with men they just met lead to murder and rape. Then I guess we should let it overshadow the number of women raped by men they KNOW (a larger percentage, btw) or those killed by their ex-boyfriends/spouses. (also a larger percentage than ‘one-night-stands go awry). I’mnot saying everyone go out andhave a one-night-stand, but saying that is the biggest danger a woman can put herself in isn’t exactly true. I think it’s when she completely lets her guard down is when she is the most vulnerable.
@ZCheez
“If it walks like a fuck, and talk likes a fuck – it’s going to want to fuck.” LOLOL Ain’t that the truth. Also, The story about the baby and the Gator is something that happens too many times here. They are savages and will charge at a moments notice and their intent in every circumstance is to kill. Because I have lived on and around lakes and many family members live on lakes I have unfortunately had many afternoons of swimming that have been interrupted because a gator was spotted. When they go under you don’t know where they are and the smart people get the hell out of the water. Because we all know what will happen if we don’t. Many times too many people feed the darn things and they get used to people and they put people and food together. It is a recipe for disaster. But the truth of the matter is, they will kill regardless of the circumstances because that is what they do for a living.
Oh, I almost forgot, back to the link and the Sitch chick. What I thought was odd was that her and her friend just happened to be at the Jay Leno show when the Sitch was there? Hmm sounds like somebody may have a stalker..
TC, Robin
I know @Robin, I thought that too – what a coincidence! My dad’s a golf hound and there are signs posted EVERYWHERE on the courses about the water traps. I don’t know how prevalent they are in Palm Beach, but their house backs onto a nature preserve and I ALWAYS check the pool at night and in the morning before jumping in! LOL, my dad SWEARS he saw a panther drinking out of their waterfall a few times last winter.
I guess there are a lot of armadillos there too… I’m happy with my little domestic critters, although I love the geckos.
@ZCheez… alligators are prevalent EVERYwhere down here! I’ve never seen an alligator while on Palm Beach, but I have seen them crossing the street while on Jupiter Island. Either way, avoid those nasty SOB’s!
I was also wondering about the “coincidence” of those girls being at the Tonight Show. I mean, Los Angeles is quite a long ways away to run into someone you met at home in Miami.
Jeanine my dad plays in Jupiter! That’s the course all the signs on! If they’re there, then I’ll bet they’re in PB too! I could NEVER do that Everglades tour – seriously, I would be a wreck.
I think the girl’s just another famewhore – it’s pretty sad when your claim to fame is cock-teasing a guy with an “allegedly” small prick, LOL!
One of these days when I’m in PB we should hook up for a drink!
http://www.hulu.com/watch/13227/reno-911-miami-dead-gator – Highly recommended viewing..(and under 2 mins)
Skatt, you reminded of of a roommate that I haven’t thought of in YEARS! She was exactly like Sammie. I had a couple of guy friends come visit from NZ and they were staying in our apt. I knew they were crazy and just DTF anything that moved. She fell head over heels for one of them. She was my friend so I didn’t want her to get hurt. So I told her in the kindest way that I could, that he was sleeping with a lot of other women. Boy oh boy! You think Sammie had a blow up? This crazy bitch went NUTS. She started sending all of my mail back with “not at this address” written on it, including my bills. She was going through my stuff. Did something to my toothbrush (thank god I noticed it was wet). Etc. The landlord is the one who noticed her doing the mail thing and kicked her out before I did. Nutter.
And I have a gator story too! One of the places I lived while growing up was on the St Johns River. I knew that gators were in it sometimes but never had a problem. One day I came out to go to school and there was a gator laying near the swimming pool. I guess he was tanning and getting ready for t-shirt time. I went back in the house and called the police. Ok, not exactly an exciting story. Move along… nothing to see here!
@ZCheez… I’m down for a drink anytime, and I’ll get Coleen to come too!
Sounds like we have a LOT of people not playing with a full deck (and I work in Psychiatry-i can vouch for this as fact). Sorry im so late but I figured a little comment before tonight’s episode wouldnt hurt! Sammi is clearly pushing Ronnie’s transgressions to the side and taking it out on the smarter and more mentally balanced JWWOW. Sitch acts and looks like a dog, and Vinny needs to head somewhere with Sammi because both of them are UTTERLY clueless when they are getting played.
Pauly D and Snooki get awards for “Smartest Roommate” and we’ll give JWWOW the Patience Platter at Denny’s. Ok there is no such thing, but if there WAS one she’d have it.
Onto the Reunion show!!!!
Snookie really upset me this episode because I couldn’t understand why she told J Woww that everyone called her fake when it really never happened. I expect and like this kinds of douchebaggery from Sitch, but not Snookie. She’s better than that.
You know I really don’t have as much of a problem with Ronnie as I do Sammie. She is the only person in the crew that I don’t like. Everyone else really brings something to the table and she does nothing. For the show or the house.
I hovered around 100-105 lbs until about 2 years ago. I am 5’6 so not little like Snookie, but thin. People picked me up ALL THE TIME. It was like I was Webster or something. Girls Guys…it really didn’t matter, they all did it. Once people got a few cocktails in them I was fair game to be lifted into the air. I once went to a tailgate for an SEC championship game and those LSU fans were a rowdy bunch. (by the way if anyone is where LSU is and they are on the road they have a traveling tailgate that has this cajun potato salad and gumbo that make life worth living) Note: I am not for/against LSU. But some how I was hoisted up by some drunkard and everyone was cheering for me (I think) so I just chimed in with the cheer they were doing. I quickly planned my escape route of there after that but got some gumbo on the way out.
Anyway…this didn’t really feel like a finale because we know that they will be back in a couple of month. Unlike when real world is over that is really the last time they will live together like that.
Is anyone else wondering where the episode is where Sammi punches a girl in the club for talking to Ronnie??? Remember that was all over the news? How come we never saw it??????????
I agree that Snooki totally started all that drama for no reason, and then she was a baby about it. Jwoww was way too nice to Snooki when snooki was yelling at her.
winks523: Was it in Miami? Or had they already gone back up to Jersey? They pretty much started shooting as soon as they got back.
why snookie carries that blue gorilla everywhere?
The fight was in Miami right in the beginning of May…you can google it. How was that left out??
