“We’re like, blood sistas now!”
SO! We’ve had two entire weeks to digest the big black screen that represented Snooki getting her lights punched out by a total pig. This week on Jersey Shore we are promised much roomie bonding in the aftermath of said punch. Let’s see what they’ve got.We return to the scene of the crime to review the events leading up to the punch. Not only is Mike telling the jerks to help themselves to the roomies’ shots, he’s also sticking his hand in Snooki’s face, as in telling her to shut up. You’re a great pal, Mike. I’d love to have you around in a sticky situation. We go to black, then see Snooki writhing in pain on the floor holding her face, then immediately the guy who hit her is swarmed by everyone nearby. I see J-Skunk pounding on him – awesome, and then his friends push him out onto the street where this happens:
At least he dressed up to go to jail.
Meanwhile the girl roomies gather around Snooki to help her and two cops step in and grab the hitter. The guy roommates are right behind screaming at him about hitting a girl. Then they corner one of his friends, who stands there with both hands up in surrender mode. There are cops all around, so the guys have no choice but to walk away, with Vinny kicking a garage door for emphasis. He looks pretty tough in his wickety wack plaid baseball cap.
Snooki is in the bathroom freaking out – who wouldn’t be? She asks repeatedly if she has missing teeth, but she doesn’t. Some sort of EMT is outside and he looks her over then sends her home with ice packs. It doesn’t look like she’s severely injured, but I can’t even imagine how violated she must feel after being attacked like that. At least MTV was decent enough not to show it… oh wait – they put it all over the interweb as promotional material, never mind. All the roommates are ready to go home and comfort Snooki – except Mike. He’s trying to close the deal with some girl.
Can you see the uncontrollable desire in her face?
Ronnie sums this up better than I ever could: “I don’t know what Mike was thinking about. Snickers is like crying because she got punched in the face and like, The Situation’s creepin.” HA! I thought creepin’ was sitting back really far in the driver’s seat with your hand resting on the top of the steering wheel while you drive really slow and check things out. Maybe it doesn’t need to be in a car. Maybe I’m just old. Anyway the point is that Mike is much more concerned with his latest female project than about his battered roommate. Just like he was more concerned with buying the perpetrator shots than with protecting his roommate. He finally gives up and goes home with everyone else, and all the way home the guys are swearing vengeance and talking about what will happen if they ever see any of those guys again. Yeah, yeah. Snooki says all she wants is her father and she curls up on her bed. That sucks.
Ronnie asks Mike why on earth he was buying shots for the guy who hit Snooki and tells him he was an instigator. I’m glad someone noticed. Mike’s all oblivious, of course – his mind is still on that girl he couldn’t close and he’s on the floor eating Doritos, taking care of his amazing physique, as always.
“Who got hit?”
Ronnie goes upstairs to tell Snooki that everyone f-ing loves her and she’s got to realize that. She’s wondering where her guidos were at while she was getting punched in the face. It’s a valid question, but seriously, who saw that coming? It was so random and unexpected – for them at least. For us it was like the millionth time seeing it so we knew exactly what was happening. We would have been there for you Snooki! Ronnie takes it a little too far, saying they almost went to jail for her. I guess if kicking a garage door is a jailable offence, then maybe Plaid Cap almost did, but the rest were all talk. Mike slides in during the last seconds of this conversation and is like, “Yeah me too.” Ronnie is pissed now because not only is Mike not sincere, but he was also the one standing right there when Snooki got hit and he didn’t do anything about it. We get a flashback and it’s absolutely true. Mike just stands there watching while everyone else jumps on the hitter. THEN, all Mike wants to do is creep. Sammi concludes that Mike isn’t a good friend, but Ronnie is.
The next morning Ronnie and Sammi are snuggling in bed while someone is pounding away at the front door. These visitors are Ronnie’s family and they are ready to play! When Ronnie finally lets them in they are all antsy because he’s not ready to go out to eat yet – remember they woke him up. He tells them he’d also like to wait for Samantha (Samantha?) and his mom goes, “All right, is Samantha going to sleep till like three?” HA! She’s actually in the shower, but Ronnie’s dad is all, “Let’s not make this an all-day event!” These people are FUNNY! They are totally the opposite of my parents, who would be like, “So sorry, did we wake you up? Are we intruding? Shall we come back another day? Do what you need to do sweetie, we just want to spend time with you.” Not Ronnie’s family! They are just like all the guidos in the house, but older, and with children. No wonder these kids act this way – so do their parents! They keep asking what’s taking Sammi so long and we see her daintily spreading lotion on her legs. She tells us she hopes Ronnie’s family thinks she’s pretty. Oh yes by all means – your boyfriend’s family MUST think you’re pretty. Who cares about nice, smart, good for Ronnie, etc. She hopes they think she’s pretty. Ronnie’s mom, who is bright orange, laments that she could have been getting her tan on right now.
And she certainly doesn’t mean in the ACTUAL sun.
Snooki comes out on the patio to meet Ronnie’s family and Ronnie tells everyone about her getting hit. Ronnie’s mom goes, “Oh hell no! And you guys didn’t like boom bash him?” Then she wants to go back to that bar to look for him. Wow, she’s tougher than Vinny. Definitely tougher than Mike. Just when Ronnie’s mom is about to blow a gasket from waiting for Sammi, Sammi appears in her short shorts and t-shirt. I expected a prom gown and elaborate updo after all that, but here we are. Ronnie’s mom knows exactly what to say, “You look beautiful, sweetheart!” Aw, that’s nice. They head to the carnival games where Ronnie wins Sammi a bear and Sammi talks in baby talk all day. Well, at least they think she’s pretty.
J-Skunk takes Snooki out to get some food and alcohol. They decide to get drunk to deal with all the commotion of last night. Poor Snooki is having trouble drinking without a straw because her mouth is practically swollen shut. It looks very painful. Later after Ronnie’s family leaves Snooki calls the jail hotline and learns that her attacker has been released on bail.
“Thank you for calling 911. If someone near you is being killed, press 1.”
First of all, there’s a jail hotline? That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard. Do you need a secret code? A password? Do you need to have pressed charges? If anyone knows, fill me in on that one. Secondly, Snooki is freaked out that he’s been released. Yeah, that’s understandable. She wouldn’t want to run into him again. J-Skunk comforts Snooki by inviting her to go tanning after she gets her nails done. Sammi comes too and it’s a regular Jersey Shore girls’ day out! In the car J-Skunk wants to know if Sammi and Ronnie have had sex. Well, Sammi is much too demure to talk about that with her roommates – she’d rather tell the camera. But she does confess that she really likes Ronnie and hopes things work out after the show. Especially now that his family thinks she’s pretty.
At home Pauly D places a call to Carmine, the owner of Karma, to tell him that he is a celebrity DJ in Rhode Island and would like to do the Jersey Shore a favor by making an appearance at Karma. Carmine is overwhelmed with star struck awe and gratitude, so he begs Pauly D to come spin. Pauly D condescends to appear at Karma and “throw down a sick mix” for all the lucky clubbers. He is, of course, certain that this will help him bring home some chicks.
In the kitchen Mike has some live lobsters he has purchased in preparation for a dinner at home for Snooki after her traumatic encounter. He looks around and announces that he thought there would be more work involved in creating this glorious feast, but “The Situation has it under control.” Yes, you are the man, Mike. Cook your lobster. Snooki comes home and gets up on a high horse seeing the lobster about to be killed. She tells us she is a vet tech, so she saves animals; she doesn’t kill them. Do veterinarians do a lot of work on lobsters? And don’t you probably have to know how to read to be a vet tech? I wonder if she means “vet janitor” or “vet stylist.” She doesn’t eat freaking lobster because it’s alive when you kill it. Uh Snooki? All animals are alive when you kill them. A vet tech should know that. Suddenly Mike is insulted, saying that this dinner is going to take a lot of time and preparation, and he can’t believe the girls aren’t helping. Okay, Mike? This was YOUR grand vision. No one is obligated to help if you volunteered to make everyone dinner. And I think we have a pretty good sense of just how willing and helpful these people are – not a lot. Secondly, I thought The Situation had it under control. You can’t buy it and sell it, so pick a side and shut up.
As everyone sits around the table Snooki gnaws on a piece of steak because she can barely open her mouth.
“Meat is murder.”
I wonder if she is aware that the cow that steak came from was alive when someone killed it. The meat was not surgically removed. After dinner Sammi is pissed at Mike for not clearing his own plate. Mike, of course, thinks he has earned dish immunity for life since he cooked, but Sammi isn’t having it. Mike is an ass. He VOLUNTEERED to cook – no one owes him anything. On the other hand, it wouldn’t kill Sammi to carry one plate from the table to the counter. I think her clip-on extensions would survive.
Behold the plate of a king.
Mike determines that Sammi is henceforth excluded from any dinner he makes since she won’t be his maid. Ronnie finally picks up Mike’s plate and takes it into the kitchen. I dislike Mike more and more.
The next day Ronnie and J-Skunk have a shift at the t-shirt store and they take the opportunity to discuss how much they also dislike Mike. The main issue is how he provoked the girl punch incident and then flew in at the tail end of Ronnie’s friend speech to take credit as well. Later the roomies all head to F Cove (I think that’s what they said), which is a place where a bunch of boats come to park and party. The roomies hop on a boat called “Furgetabowdit” and the boat captain takes them over to the cove. The cove is basically “Furgetabowdit” cloned 100 times.
Can you smell the hairspray?
It’s crawling with skanky orange guidos and guidettes, all looking to meet each other. See, this is where I personally draw the line at social activity. It’s hard enough being self conscious about your looks fully (or mostly) clothed in a dark club. Who wants to parade around in broad daylight in a bikini being judged on your appearance? It’s like the Rehab party at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. A friend once tried earnestly to get me to go, but I can’t do it. Nope. But the guidos can!
J-Skunk visits a boat from the 70s.
Everyone drinks, jumps onto other boats, floats in the water, and pretty much tries to hook up. Vinny tumbles off the back of the boat and Pauly D brags about how his hair didn’t move an inch even though he was jumping in and out of the water the whole time. You don’t say. That hair would survive a nuclear blast. The guys all feel bad for Ronnie, who is happily trapped on their boat with Sammi – because they get to party and dance with all these stranger skanks. Poor, poor Ronnie. Who’d want guaranteed action from a girl he actually likes when you can try and fail every night to sleep with the local trash? Snooki is pissed because just as she found a guy she wanted to hang with Ronnie came and grabbed her and threw her in the lake because it was time to go home. Wah, wah, wah.
The next scene is hilarious. It’s another glimpse into the world of guido game presented by Mike and Pauly D. They have a miniature rolodex of numbers they’ve collected from girls and they are going through the numbers, inviting girls over to see who might actually bite. It’s just funny to me how very little they care about WHO they hang out with, as long as someone shows up and there is a chance they might have sex. How flattering for these girls. It’s also hilarious how many of the girls either don’t pick up or blow them off. Not as sexy as you thought, eh boys? After many failed attempts a girl finally answers her phone and agrees to come over with two of her friends. Mike and Pauly D jump around and high five, as if this was easy for them! They had to go down a list! This show should be called Delusion Shore.
“I only had to get to number 8 this time, bro!”
As Ronnie gets ready to go out, he says he thinks Mike and Pauly D are “going fishing” again tonight and will probably scrape something off the boardwalk, so the rest of the roomies are going to Bamboo. I like Ronnie more and more.
Three girls come over and Pauly D tells us that these girls are smart, but they want to hook up. But it will probably take a couple of times hanging out before they’ll hook up because they’re not whores. Ah, true Jersey Shore ladies. No sex till hang out number two. As the group sits around flirting Mike announces to everyone that he likes “his” girl so much that he is taking her out for lunch AND dinner tomorrow. Wow, he’s pulling out all the stops this time. The whole rejection scene must be getting old. Vinny explains to us that there are some girls who will strip right down and go in the hot tub (the usual fare) and other girls who actually have to be treated like human beings (aw man), and the girls tonight are of the second variety. What a pain.
Over at Bamboo some girls have started taunting our guidettes + Ronnie, who announce that they are on short leashes tonight (meaning short fuses), so when one of them asks J-Skunk who her fat friend is – meaning Snooki – J-Skunk throws a drink in her face. Unfortunately the camera man is zeroed in on Snooki’s swollen, hurt expression so we don’t get to see the drink-throw, only the results, which is a hair-pulling, arm-flailing extravaganza.
That bouncer is experiencing “fringe benefits.”
There are immediately 36 bouncers (BAM and BOO) all over the girls, so Snooki is sad she didn’t get to take part. J-Skunk tells us if she’d had three more seconds then justice would have been served. I kinda like that J-Skunk wasn’t about to let Snooki get disrespected again. And there’s nothing like a good hair-pull. How do their weaves stay in?
Back at the house the visiting girls are getting ready to leave and of course, Mike is all up in his girl’s face, trying to convince her of his everlasting devotion. She keeps saying that she knows how this works and she knows about stuff. Then we cut to Mike tearing up the stairs to tell Pauly D that the word on the boardwalk is that Mike and Pauly D are hooking up with everybody. Instead of being concerned that this reputation might jeopardize his chances with a girl he’s actually interested in, Mike and Pauly D are once again elated. They jump on their beds, they fist bump, they’ve made a name for themselves in Jersey.
“Maybe tomorrow I’ll only have to get to number 6!”
Congrats, losers. Not to mention that this is a false rumor. So far I’ve only seen them TRYING to hook up with everybody. Maybe the falseness makes them even happier. Delusion Shore.
Kicked out of Karma, the roomies walk home and Snooki tells J-Skunk that she totally killed the girl whose hair she pulled. She says she smacked her around and the girl was just protecting herself with her hands. Uh, that’s not exactly how it happened, but it was entertaining, so carry on.
The next morning it’s – uh oh, Mike’s cooking again. Now everyone will owe him their lives. He also starts another fire by spraying too much Pam into a tiny skillet on a hot burner. Not as big as the fire I started in my kitchen the other day, but at least I wasn’t being filmed – true story. I got it out with lots of flour. Uh oh again. Pauly D is busting out his DJ equipment and it’s COVERED in Italian flags. These people are as bad as Canadians except they’re not even from the country of the flag they’re displaying.
DJ Pauly Delvecchio – who has never even visited Italy.
Mike decides it’s time to call Stephanie – the girl from last night who told him about his reputation. They made plans to have lunch AND dinner today, if you’ll recall. Well guess who’s not answering her phone! He calls and calls and… nothing. Aw, poor Mike put all his eggs in one basket and look what happened. Where’s the list of 10 girls to call for lunch, Mike? Sammi’s on the couch laughing at him, which is just where I’d be too. I don’t even need to call him a loser again because he’s painted the picture himself.
Embarrassing situation.
Someone who’s getting a little more attention from the opposite sex is J-Skunk, who is on the phone with her boyfriend learning that he sent her a package that she hasn’t seen yet. Then in walks Ronnie with a huge box of roses – blue roses. Apparently these are the rarest kind of roses. Ronnie and Pauly D wonder what is the matter with her boyfriend – sending her roses after finding out she cheated on him. Ronnie says he would have sent her a picture of his privates with a pack of bubble gum and a note that says “Chew on this.” OMG, that is so funny. Ha ha ha! How IS it that Ronnie is getting endearing? I don’t understand it! He’s turning out to be the sanest one here.
Tonight is Pauly D’s big Jersey Shore DJ debut, so the guys all get (another) haircut and the girls get dressed up in their skankiest. J-Skunk is wearing a t-shirt and panties, I kid you not.
Sorry, the fishnets really class it up.
The club isn’t too crowded so it’s mostly the roomies listening to Pauly D “on the ones and twos.”
Doing the Jersey Shore a big old favor.
Ronnie is out there doing his spastic seizure moves when Sammi announces that she wants to go home – presumably to have sex. The other roomies try to get them to stay and support their celebrity roommate since there’s no one else at the club, but they’re off. Peace. As if Mike or Pauly D wouldn’t be out of there so fast if there were a chance of sex. Please. While Mike tries desperately to get a girl, any girl to pay attention to him, Vinny hits it off with a girl named Tonya with a huge tattoo on her arm. He calls her a cougar since he’s only 21. Vinny is only 21? I don’t know why I’m surprised to learn that. So they start kissing, then walk down the street when she says, “I love Danny.” Vinny’s like, “Who?” and it turns out that Tonya and Danny went out to dinner earlier so now Vinny is certain that he’s stolen the boss’s girl.
“My name is… wait. I know this. My name is… hang on…”
He starts freaking out and Tonya keeps saying, “Wait, wait.” But he won’t let her get a word in. It’s unclear whether she’s actually Danny’s girlfriend or what, but we end with them writhing around on the hood of a car, classy-like.
Next week we learn whether this was actually a girlfriend of Danny’s or if it was just a friend and this is all to create suspense – I vote for the latter. Also some girls come over to the house and we may have ourselves another girl fight! Also Mike’s sister comes for a visit and Ronnie has a fight of his own.
So how did you like this episode? It was kind of like “a day in the life” type of episode – just the crew hanging out, going out, freaking out, etc. Fun times.
Thanks for reading!

Ronnie… I too think underneath that macho posterior… he really is a good, upstanding guy…. from the way he opens up with Sammi on the bed in that tearful embrace (even if that was a little too dramatic for my taste) to the way he went out of his way to let Snooki know they love and care about her and that they are a family, to the way he spot-on commented about how BULLSHIT it was for Mike “the suck-uation” to be more concerned with his bitch (that prob wasnt gonna put out for him anyways, like the others havent!) than with his just-battered roommate. J Skunk did sort of redeem herself for her firm stance on not letting anyone get away with disrespecting Snooki… Vinny is okay, not too interesting but he doesn’t seem like a bad guy… Pauly is from the same state I am and while he is a man-whore, a friend of mine has been to one of his DJ appearances and s reported that he really does have a talent and a passion for spinning… I guess pretty much what I am saying is that the only one I fail to find even a modicum of redemption in is is Mike. a.k.a. the situation… can’t stand that old ass punk. Thrilled me to PIECES to see him get his come-uppance in the form of being STOOD UP on National TV!
Apologies for the typo’s and multiple words… the one time I don’t proofread…
I hate the situation as much as anyone, but i don’t think it would have killed Sammi to pick his plate up after he made the whole dinner, whether or not he volunteered. Am i the only one that finds her obnoxious?
Danny looks like a serial killer in the above shot. Criminal Minds anyone?
Did anyone else notice that JWoww’s undies that she wore to the club had JWOWW on the front in large rhinestones. Tacky! I mean, who owns stuff like that (beside Lady Gaga who is allowed to!)
Also, was shocked Vinnie was only 21. He seems the most “normal” out of the bunch which is prob why he gets the least camera time!
Well, Jwwowww’s not exactly trying to be a gaga but she’s on the show for the publicity — you ought to check out her website, it’s all about selling the merchandise. Actually gives a different perspective on her, i.e., she’s probably just play-acting here.
The sitch is definitely getting himself into a, uh, situation. Not looking good for the personal appearances job list. Unless he hangs out with that Speidi iditio.
But let’s face facts: if Ronnie hadn’t found Sammi, he’d be doing exactly the same thing. Or worse. So he’s a double-dickhead for being a hypocrite about it.
Still lovin’ Sammi though.
And Pauly D always looks like he’s just about to get hit by a car.
“iditio”
Yeah yeah. Look it up. It exists.
What?
OMFG! I read these at work during my lunch… trying to catch up…and this time i was laughing so hard out loud i actually snorted! Honey, your recaps are AWEsome! I’m on a top chef withdraw and i really needed something to brighten my day!
Yes, Mike is the long lost heir to the Masingill fortune! We’ve got a douche situation here!
and yeah, i’m loving Ronnie and it seems they’ve stayed together…whoduathunk it?
Honey, I liked Jwoww sticking up for Snooki the second night too. I also liked how whenever they talked about it, Jwoww said that the girl at the club called US fat. I mean, sure, she went for the uppercut on that girl, but it was clear throughout the ep that she likes Snooki and didn’t want her to be any more hurt or upset than she already was.
i loved how Snooki uses her back-flip dancing as a threat. hilarious!!
also do the roommates call her “Snookers” or “Snickers”? not that it would matter, lol
jamabam,
I think that the roommates call that fat loud-mouthed little fireplug “Snickers”, probably because that is the main staple of her diet.
And “J COW” is more appropriate for the other one.
These girls think they are so hot. Someone needs to break the news to them that throwing their crotches at every male in NJ doesn’t make a girl hot, but just desperate.
I’m on board with the maybe-Ronnie’s-not-so-bad thing. I loved the bubble gum/chew on this line! Did he make that up all on his own (in 5th grade?)
I’d have to watch this episode again, but it looked to me like Jwow was flailing around like a drowning person while the other girl had a concrete grip on J’s hair. That’s not really “killing” the other girl. And what the hell is up with the panties & fish nets? I ask with respect, mind you, I don’t want my hair pulled or my glasses knocked off. How cute that Snooki builds up Jwow’s self-esteem with such hyperbole, don’t you think? BFFs are sweet.
Oh Vinny, maybe your cougar will cut up your meat just like mommy does. Best of luck to you!
Great recap, HoneyG. Love it.
Massive disagreement here, but I disagree with everyone on the whole Ronnie thing. He stepped in to be the supportive friend when it made him look like a good person to Sammi, but the second it wasn’t about him anymore, he throws Snooki in the water. Because she wants to talk to some guy. And that means he can’t go home. Wah. Wah. Suck it up and cut the girl who just get decked in the face some slack. What about that says decent friend or decent person?
And while I don’t approve the rest of Mike’s actions, I fail to see how him buying shots for the guys prior to them punching Snooki in the face counts as “provocation”.
I agree, if anything if she’d just let it go and let them take the shots the punch would never have happened. Sometimes you have to know when to back off a drunken idiot just for your own safety.
And Ronnie throwing Snookie in the water was just as abusive. Using his size to get what he wanted and embarrassing her in the process. Not a good look.
The only semi likeable ones are Pauly and Vinny.
I have to concur. Although I have warmed up to Ronnie, I definitely did NOT like him throwing Snooki in the water! That was so rude! She’s a grown woman and has the right to talk to anyone she wants to! That was wrong of him to bust her groove. Very selfish. She’s had a tough week and actually found someone she was into! I do like JWow’s willingness to wail on someone for anyone. I also didn’t get how Mike was the instigator just for buying the drinks…
I loved this recap! I laughed out loud so many times!! I loved you saying perhaps Snooki was a “Vet Stylist”. HILARIOUS! The screengrabs of Mike were hilarious too! “Who got punched?” and “Embarassing Situation”. Just pure genius!
And to itchy: This cracked me up: “And Pauly D always looks like he’s just about to get hit by a car.” HAHAHAAHAHA!
Oh yeah and final comment: Blue Roses aren’t rare. They are white roses dyed blue.
I have to agree, I think Ronnie was just trying to make himself look good and for them to say that it was Mike’s fault that Snooki got punched is ridiculous. I think Mike is just more of a lover and not a fighter unlike the other juiceheads. I was surprised to see Vinny get so angry, looked kinda cute. I pretty much like all of them except for Ronnie and Sammi.
Wow, MitchyPR, thatswhatshesaid, Miss Tint and Anonymous – I have to admit you really all presented a nice argument for why Ronnie may be just as bad. I didn’t even realize stuff like that to be honest. Kudos to opening my eyes a bit more!
I guess I was just really anxious to find some sort of redeeming quality in them?
I like ronnie because of his dance moves and the pride he has for them. Kind of dislike him overpowering snookie. Otherwise I’m indifferent. Sammi does annoy me.
I profoundly dislike the situation, but I would have cleaned his dish if I ate the food he made and if he asked. Maybe I’m just a sucker.
For some reason the only one I like is JWOWW. or whatever. Probably her girth.
sign me up on the ronnie is a DOUCHE bandwagon. seriously, trying to blame mike for the whole situation (pun very much intended) is pretty ridiculous. what i saw in the mike “buying the guys shots” was really him just trying to keep everyone calm. he wasn’t like, “yo, get these guys some DRINKS!” he saw the took the shots and that snooki was getting heated about it, so to try and smooth it over, he was just trying to get everyone to chill out and say, “hey, no big deal. just blow it off. i’ll buy two more for US so that’s not a problem.” that was all in the editing. mike was buying shots for the group, then the guy took them and people started to get riled up, so he bought two more for the house group. ronnie trying to push this all off on mike is absurd.
AND the cleaning the plate fiasco. i’m sorry, but there is no one i hate more on this show than sammi. she’s an entitled brat. while i think that most of these people’s personas are a little false bluster for the camera (specifically mike, who i think is just a really nice guy in real life) sammi i really believe is a first class jerk. would anyone who went over someone’s house for dinner and was cooked a meal really not say, “no, no. i’ll clear the table. you cooked this great meal” ?! i really just wish ronnie and sammi would disappear.
baymenxpac, I agree with pretty much everything you said. I also think it was really disrespectful for Sammi to take forever to come out and meet Ronnie’s parents and for him to chew his mother’s head off over a girl that he’d known for like 2 weeks at most, although it seems they’re still together. I agree, I think Mike was just trying to calm everybody down because he does seem like a nice guy, just cocky and insecure.
Also, Ronnie saying that he was talking to Snooki and then Mike swooped in just made it seem like he wants everybody to think that he’s the only one that actually cares, how dare Mike come in to check on Snooki while he’s doing it? Idiot.
I can’t believe Ronnie threw Snooki into the water when she has an injured face! That looked like it hurt! And just because Ronnie wants to go home doesn’t mean they have to leave right at that second.
However, I like Ronnie…I think he seems like a nice guy and in response to whoever said that if Ronnie didn’t have Sammi, he’d be acting the same way as Mike and Pauly…in the beginning he wasn’t hooking up with those girls in the hot tub..he was in the kitchen. I remember wondering why he wasn’t upstairs in the hot tub with those naked whores.
I can’t wait til that grenade comes back next week!
I agree that Sammi should not have been keeping Ronnie’s family waiting! Anyone can pull themselves together in 10 minutes, at least I believe that. The last thing I would want is for people I want to impress having to wait for me.
Did anyone notice how Vinny tagged along as well? That was cute how he loved Ronnie’s family.
I loved how Ronnie’s mom called the guys out for not beating up Snooki’s puncher.
I don’t want Vinny to get kicked off!!!!!!
I don’t think it was completely the Situation’s fault for the punch, but I’m beginning to really not like him for many reasons. And he’s always looking at the camera.
This recap was hilarious!! I was cracking up!
Snooki’s line about the lobsters being alive before they’re killed was priceless.
It’s been my experience that anyone who calls themselves a “sweetheart” and says they’re “the sweetest bitch you’ll ever meet” is in fact, not a sweetheart. You shouldn’t have to declare it, if it’s true, it will be obvious. It’s the same concept as giving yourself a nick name or trying to prepetuate a catch phrase.
I have nothing but contempt for “the Situation” and his little toady, Paulie. Those two act like teenage boys on viagra.
The fact that they haven’t scored with a woman yet, is hiilarious. And when they were high fiving each other because they have a reputation was classic.
Why don’t they go all the way and get some gold chains, get some chest hair from the same place Sammie gets her extensions and call themselves “Two Wild and Crazy Guys”?
Thank you for the outstanding recap! This show is just such a trainwreck. I love it!
Honey is there anyway you could fit in recapping Teen Mom? That might be the best show on MTV next to this one.
I agree with Baxter, Honey you should recap “Teen Mom”.
Sammi’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. And the baby talk has got to go.
‘The Situation’ is coming to a bar here in Baltimore next month. Ha. My friend and I want to go just to point and laugh!
Does anyone watch the bonus clips on mtv.com? I checked them out to see the aftershow. On one of them, Kenny (from the Challenges) was discussing with Ronnie, Sammie, and JWOWW whether or not Ronnie felt he was missing out on having fun on the trip to F Cove. Ronnie said No. Sammie said the whole time they were on the show together she told him to do whatever he wanted, that she wasn’t holding him back at all. She is such a hypocrite! I was just enraged listening to that garbage. Apparently, she forgot how enraged she got that Ronnie was dancing with some skank so she gave her number to the cop out of spite! She’s a hateful, selfish, insecure, girl. Ronnie obviously knows he can’t do whatever he wants and not face the wrath of Sammie.
I, too, thought it was soooo rude of Sammie to keep Ronnie’s family waiting. What a horrible first impression! She was only concerned with her looks and not her manners! What a shame!
This show is so hilarious and a train wreck INDEED!!! Sammi Sweetheart walking around thinking she is so hot is too much. Have these boys never seen hot girls before? Ronnie says Sammi has the best set of legs on a girl he has ever seen – really? I read where someone referred to her as “thunder thighs”!! Not to be mean, but she thinks she is all that, and she is not. LOVED the recap and I love the caption under Snooki hearing from the jail about her attacker’s release – classic!! Am SO enjoying this show!
I don’t think Sammi is THAT bad. Not that I like her, she is definitly my least favorite girl (now that Angelina is gone), but I don’t she is horrible – more of your average, run of the mill annoying bratty girl. But I totally think she could have gotten off her ass and helped Mike with the dishes. If your roommate makes you dinner, you should help clean up!!
I don’t think Mike should have ever had to ask Sammi to pick up his dishes because he did cook for the house the least everyone else can do is clean up the kitchen. Does no one else live by the rule I cook you clean and vice versa? That’s just inconsiderate and rude.
classy drunk, we have always followed the I cook you clean rule. I thought that was a standard. I don’t care much for Mike, but he did make a nice meal (steak and lobster for cracker’s sake!) and should not have to ask for help cleaning up.
JWoww blows my mind. Jwoww, indeed.
I have to say Mike refusing to move his plate from the table to the sink bothered me…I always thought that I cook you clean meant that the other person washed the dishes and pans. I was taught when I was little to scrape my plate and put it in the sink regardless of who was doing the dishes. Plus why was he yelling at Sammi to clean his plate when there were 5 other people who ate the meal that he cooked. Its like he’s 5 and he has to be mean to the girl he likes.
Classy drunk – yes, people with integrity and self-awareness (as well as manners) usually do abide by the i cook, you clean method. Those traits might be why not all of the JS crew follows this protocol.
flowie – i agree, he seemed to single sammi out (altho it was her, I believe, who started the talk about it) but it did definitely seem he was being extra douchey to her because he is still bitter she chose ronnie over him… that much is obvious, right?!
I do agree, Mike did cook and she should have just picked up the plate, scraped it off and rinsed it. He didn’t need to be so “I am the king of the world” dickish about it, but really, she seems like an entitled brat!
did anybody else think it was incredibly thoughtless of Mike to make steak and corn-on-the-cob for someone who had just been punched in the face and had a very sore jaw? Obviously the guy doesn’t have a whole lot going on upstairs.
I think “incredibly thoughtless” is a great description not just of Mike in this particular situation (GET IT?) but of the entire house all the time.
I just wanted to say a few things:
1) I luvvv this show, sure it’s ridiculous and i could probably spend my time doing sumthing more productive like flossing my teeth, or stitching up holes in my underwear. But c’mon, have you noticed how the cast on the show always fall into sum drama? Next episode is even better.
2) I propose that J-WOWW’s name be changed to J-CLOTH, in homage to her barely there nipple coverings.
3)As for the cast, I don’t hate/love Ronnie or Sammie. Ronnie means well but is an idiot. Sammie’s nice but is dumb and insecure-hence the 3 hour makeup delay.
As for mike, cannot-cannot stand HIM. The reason that Ronnie thought mike caused the smackdown was mike kept buying drinks for his friends, that in turn kept getting stolen. Instead of telling the girl-beater to back off, or ebbing the flow of alcohol, mike continues to buys drinks! When Snooki was punched, Mike didn’t stand up for Snooki, that’s why J-CLOTH was the only cast member seen throwing a punch.
Why does he have to get himself involved in a fight to be a good friend? Peacemakers are just as good friends as people who will take part in a fight to defend you.
All I saw was Mike buying shots that got taken by a group of drunk beefy guys who were obviously trying to start shit and instead of inflaming the situation (pardon the pun), he tried to cool it down by just buying a couple more shots. That’s probably what I would have done too.
We all saw what happens when you push drunken idiots, it’s not always such a good plan. A bit of personal responsibility would have prevented sookie from getting her face punched in. Not that she deserved it but its the same thinking that goes behind not walking down poorly lit streets in bad neighbourhoods alone at night.

Serious for a moment: I’m probably alone in this, but I really loved the scene of Pauly D showing his DJ equipment to Vinny. In any other respect, it would be a bad idea for anyone to look up to Pauly, but he is clearly in the 1% of Americans who have a “dream job” and those don’t come easy. Vinny seems to genuinely admire him for that, and it’s kind of cute to watch.
