In a bonus bumper between commercials, MTV gives us footage of Roger carrying a grill rather brutally up some narrow stairs to a porch.  It’s weird.  I guess if this is the bonus footage, it’s no wonder this finale is only an hour.  It’s the highest-rated show on MTV ever, and I was totally expecting at least two hours.  The last one hour finale was The Hills, and that was a half hour show.  

The Roomies spend the last night on the roof together, recalling old times.  Specifically, they recall the first night on the deck, and the jacuzzi.  They remember fondly how they didn’t like each other at first; rather, that they really didn’t know what to make of one another at first.  They all disliked Snook, until she got punched.  That was a bonding moment for the world, wasn’t it?  The remember Jenni and Pauly’s greasy-looking hook-up, Deena showing Mike her cuka, and other Shore Lore.  

The last twenty or so minutes of the show was really a lot of various Roomies saying the same thing: Leaving is emotional, they are different from when they began the show, and they are bonded for life.  It’s touching, but there’s not much shakin’ to recap for you.  Boo!  More antics, pleas… wait.  What am I thinking?

The next morning, Pauly loudly wakes them all up for a final breakfast together.  They cook, and talk some more about how they went through this experience together, how they have all changed and matured (ha!), and how they aren’t the same as when they arrived at the Shore House.  Packing montage, annnnd…

Jersey Shore Love you bitches

Love you, Bitches

… cut to outside the Shore House.  Group hug, group cry.  It’s very touching, and emotional.  I shouldn’t mock this one scene out of a hundred scene from this show that makes me think maybe it’s not so bad.  They are all sad to say goodbye too each other, to the house, to the Shore, and to Jersey Shore.  It’s genuine, and that’s one thing I can say about this show.  It is mostly genuinely, at least in terms of the cast being themselves.  I appreciate that, I really do.  It’s rare that reality shows allow for the rabbit hole to be exposed, but we see these kids spending money, we see the security, we see them talk about rehab, and we see their real relationships with one another.  They are a family, lovable, gross, young, and over-exposed, but a family and a strong one at that.  They know their lives will never be the same, and feel that with this experience, it can now be perfect.

They drive away in their Escalades, BMWs, and gigantic customized trucks, so I’m hard pressed to think that they will all be anything less than fine.  The duck phone on the other hand?  See you on the other side, little buddy.  

Goodbye, Jersey Shore.  You were somethin’ else.

    I can’t believe what Ron was saying. Let me correct that, I totally believe that someone like Ron would say that stuff, I am just amazed that he thinks it was okay to say. Then how Sam just agreed with him and was fine with how she was treated. Wrong on so many levels. And the way it was (at least edited) made it feel like it was not scripted was scary.

    This was a sad end to this show. The three best parts were mini-roger beating Mike multiple times in catching a football, the tea-bag cake, and the RIP for the duck phone.

    Also, that bonfire must have been filmed at an odd time. They usually have a massive crowd outside the Shore Store when they are working. Yet, an illegal bonfire on the beach which is closed at night didn’t have that many people watching. And you could see the “police” guarding the beach ramp when Roger & mini-roger showed up. I will give them props, it looked like a great bonfire/night-beach-party.

    What is prime time at the Jersey Shore? From the dates of Mike/Pauly-Ds birthdays, they were filming in June. It doesn’t seem like June would be prime time at the shore, more like July and August.

    Yeah, that whole Sam&Ron fight was creepy. Let’s just hope they never have kids.
    Mike totally deserved to have his cake T-bagged, so did Paulie- more so for trying to make that ridiculous way he says “awkward” happen. Knock it off Paulie, you’re too old.
    *Speaking of trying to make annoying shit happen, if I see one more commercial of those fucktard wanna be Honey Boo Boo’s say-” just buck it”on that dumbass Buckwild show I will karate kick the hell out of my tv.
    Not sad to see Jersey Shore end, should’ve happened 3 seasons ago. Great recap btw.

    Yes Ron was a total ass and it would have been a cold day in hell before I apologized BUT… Vinny and Pauly were even bigger douches for letting Sam get her ass handed to her and not saying something. Oh yes, they felt bad, but not bad enough to tell Ron to stop berating the poor girl. That was cowardly in my opinion. They messed up….man up and don’t let a girl take your punishment. Sam honey, run, run far far away….

    I still don’t understand why Ron was mad at Sammi. If she was hiding the duct tape* from him, well, then he should be mad. Otherwise, Vinny actually caused the poppage.
    *I’m from the South. Everything can be fixed with duct tape. Well, except for the poor duck phone. I don’t think even duct tape would have fixed that.
