Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Ciao Italia”, Season Finale)

leave a comment »

Season finale! I’m kinda glad this season is over now, and I will wait another eleven, twelve months to watch the next batch of episodes. Watching two whole seasons in a span of a couple of weeks makes me mad. Not even I can’t stand that much JERSEY SHORE, but what the hell. It’s a different TV experience than expected, and this time even more than last time. You’re starting to know the people, you’re starting to know when shit happens, when they prove they’re really idiots, or when they prove they’re actually cool people to hang out with. In fact, you’re starting to like those people, yet still hate them for how stupid they are sometimes. Except Vinny and Pauly, they are always brave.

In the sense of the episode, it wasn’t really a good one though. It went back to the Mike business, and the question, whether he will return to Jersey or not. And the ending, which makes him a villain. Interesting. If this show would be scripted all the way, the twist/character development of one of the major characters to become the villain mid-series, in-between season, is definitely interesting. Now it’s gonna be interesting in Jersey: Is Mike really the villain now? Does he still care?or is he going into war mode in the next Jersey season? I have to say, Mike really became Angelina over the past couple of episodes, and it says a lot when Angelina’s name was spoken again: She’s still hated, though no one probably knows what she’s doing right now this second…

The last meals/tours/parties/whatevers… not interesting. And with the exception of the little sightseeing tour after the sightseeing tour, all of it was forgettable. The photo sessions near the end were cute, because they showed that the guys are still friends with each other (and even Mike was ready to apologize); the parties were boring, because they were like any party else shown in this season. Not even Mike’s little rant with the unseen kid was interesting – mostly because it was shown in the damn promos before commercials (they should be cut short, or cut out definitely, they are getting more and more annoying). So, what did this episode deliver? Literally just proof that the guys loved their work in the pizzeria, and that Snooki and Deena can actually clean up after themselves.

At the end the season was interesting, but it still doesn’t top the Miami season. Mike annoyed me sometimes, Deena annoyed me a lot these days (she should start growing up), Sam and Ron surprised me this season with no fights at all (at least I can’t remember a fight… that must be a record), and Vinny and Pauly showed why they are the nicest guys in the world. Pauly was pissed only once this season (and I think also the first time after the Angelina incidents in Miami), and Vinny was just sad-mad about Mike (and probably Vinny). Not that I expect something from the next season, but Mike being the villain? Hopefully he’s standing for that and making some noise. Just for him to disappear like Angelina. 6/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Situation Problems”)

leave a comment »

Mike wants to be the bad guy? Really? If he wants to, he better stay out of season five, because he really changed to a negative person. Something must have happened, and not just his story with Snooki or his love-making with the wall. Mike obviously lost some senses during his trip to Italy, and maybe he is getting back some of those senses, before he’s fucking up everything in Jersey next season, or in the next episode.

Finally another JSERSEY SHORE episode with something to do for everybody. It wasn’t just a Snooki episode, who probably broke up with Jionni (though no one knows really, because Jionni doesn’t even know); it wasn’t an episode about Deena and how she hates on Mike and drinks away her anger towards everybody; it wasn’t an episode about MVP and how the M part was drifting away; and it wasn’t even about Sam and Ron. Quite the contrary, because I’m satisfied about how those two were managing themselves over the past couple of episodes. No fights, no stress, instead a little bit of big love and happiness. They were applauding themselves for the right reasons here. So let’s see how long it will hold when the season is over, and when it goes back to Jersey.

The episode wasn’t much of a burner though. Somehow I wasn’t in the mood for much laughing, and somehow I even believe that Pauly is a dick. He could have fucked Deena for once to shut her up, but not even that he was doing. He was probably be too proud to stick his dick into Deena and make her happy for once. At least the bromance between Vinny and him was a bit funny, though I really wanted to see the whole thing of him. And was the condom really filled? I couldn’t even look that fast. Something happened with the condom though, even though all of it was just a joke.

The meatball problems were annoying though. Looks like Snooki and Deena can’t live like normal persons at all. Drinking, partying, not caring about a single thing in the world… They should start to care, because it makes them look like dicks without dicks. I can understand why they were angry when the stranger guys danced too close to them and when the bartender threw ice on them (that was really mature), but I can’t understand why they don’t see the reasons those things are done to them. And Deena can’t really say they have respect for other people, when they don’t even have respect for themselves. So, in this case it’s interesting to see in which light the girls are seeing themselves, and how totally wrong it is.

And yeah, that’s basically all this episode had to deliver. Despite the “last Saturday” and the “last Sunday dinner” (I wanted to see more of the reconnecting between Sammi and Jenni), it didn’t feel like it’s going to end for the guys in Italy. Especially when they talk about Mike, and whether he has to go or can stay. That last week or so? They can live through it… 6/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Damage is Done”)

The Snooki story, part three. It’s getting annoying now. It is becoming the new Samron saga. Either she breaks up with Jionni, or he breaks up with Snooki and the story is over. Don’t carry it around for more than a couple of weeks like Sam and Ron were doing it for the past years. Instead make fast decisions, which stand. But no, all accountable people on this show (except Jenni) are so stupid that they don’t even see their mistakes anymore.

Yes, everybody in this house is pretty much fucked up right now. Maybe it’s obvious that all of the cast is millionaire now, and they don’t care about what the “outer world” has to say about them, because they are creating their problems, just so that they can create trouble within the house. I would never imagine that Mike is so stupid to tell a lie like he did, and eventually destroy his friendship with Snooki. I would never imagine that both Vinny and Pauly absolutely don’t care and instead laugh about the whole fight. There has to be a situation where they try to get involved, because it’s not just annoying and too loud, but actually destroying the family feeling of the roommates. I can’t even imagine why Jenni is still trying to convince Snooki that she is doing a mistake and that she should let go. If Snooki doesn’t want to listen to anybody, then let her not listen to anybody. Let her make the mistakes she is doing, and eventually she will learn. So, I found myself on Mike’s side during the beginning, playing the crucial joke on Snooki, so he can show her what ratting out can bring somebody like Snooki to (but after that, I also realized that Mike doesn’t care AT ALL anymore. He just fucks everybody and anything, and does his own thing. Leadership goodbye, friends pretty much goodbye). And I found myself on Jenni’s side, when she was telling her the truth, and was getting annoyed, because Snooki did not listen.

At this stage of the show, Snooki changed from an actual likable little meatball to an annoying woman, who doesn’t care what her surroundings have to say about her, but also doesn’t listen to what they have to say. The scenery during the wine trip was the perfect example: She couldn’t handle the truth, so she ran away, crying, annoyed with this world, left alone by her friends. Just because she can’t accept more than just her dream world. I wonder where that is coming from, because she wasn’t like that in earlier seasons. But what it brought me to see is the friendship between Jenni and Snooki. A lot has happened during the last year, and it’s somehow great to see how those two women go through thick and thin, and even master problems like this.

The trip to Sicilia was okay. This episode reminded me again of the fact that Vinny is pretty much the only real Italian in the cast, and that he took his boy group with him was a nice way of showing what a family they are. There were quite a few of nice moments, when the boys realized what family is meaning, and what they have, what they just witnessed, and what “home” means. Touching. For the two seconds it was in fact touching.

And finally there’s the thing about hooking up. First Snooki and Vinny, which she finally accepted (after not remembering – how can she black out like that?), then Snooki and Mike, which obviously happened as well. But there’s still a question mark. It’s like the season’s mystery at the moment: Did Snooki and Mike hook up months ago? 5.5/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Three Men and a Snooki”)

leave a comment »

There are times when I wonder if JERSEY SHORE is nothing but a romantic comedy-drama. First the whole drama between Snooki and Jionni, which will definitely have another sequel here (thanks to the promo for the next episode – I’d wish my TV supplier would start cutting those out), then the somewhat romantic ending of both Vinny and Snooki. Finally they are hooking up. It took a goddamn long time since Miami.

That also means, Snooki has to deal with a lot of persons from now on. First: She has to deal with her relationship with Jionni. It’s not over yet, and I wonder if she is trying to save her relationship, despite the “No” she gave to Vinny. Second: Her relationship to Vinny. Depends on how she sees herself with Jionni, and then we can talk about a possible dating situation between the almost lovers. Third: The conflict between Snooki and Mike. What is Mike going to say about all of this? I don’t think he is gonna be happy about Vinny’s move, after Snooki ended it with Jionni. So, it’s gonna be an interesting end of the time in Florence, because I don’t believe it’s all gonna end in a happy ending.

The “Karma” party was just a bit stupid in my opinion. Obviously they were all into helping Snooki get over her little depression, but I seriously do not get why Karma helps there. Just go to a damn club, drink like it’s Christmas, and you will automatically get over your depression. Transforming the living room into Karma rather looked like a cheap idea, which came to the producers earlier. I don’t know, it didn’t feel real (but then again, what does feel real in this show?)

Deena gets punk’d again. Very funny this time, because this time she was stuck under the couch. I was laughing. But I was also asking myself why Deena is such a victim to the guys and gets pranked all the time. What did she do again to deserve that? Well, at least it showed that Deena doesn’t have any muscles at all and can’t even free herself under the couch. Though I don’t know how tangled up she was under the couch. It looked like her arm was also in the chair. And when you read that (not having watched the episode), and wonder what was going on here… Well, I’m wondering the same.

Yeah, this whole episode was all about the finale of Snooki and Jionni (sequel is still in the open), and the re-hookup between Snooki and Vinny (sequel definitely) coming. The rest was rather uninteresting. Somehow there’s not much to talk about when the episode only has one or two topics to deal with, and somehow the episodes are better because of it. Snooki crying? I’ll take it. 7.5/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Where is My Boyfriend?”)

leave a comment »

This is getting messed up more and more. The second episode in a row with Snooki as the main person, and the first one in the show where I have seen her devastated like that. It is not normal to see her like that, and I was asking myself if I should feel with her, or if I should give the points to Jionni, because he was right about the embarrassing sides of Snooki, or if I should give the boys right, who said that Jionni should have known who he is dating. A complicated thing here, which makes for an interesting and tragic love story. Happy end not included.

Well, what can I write more about the love story that was and never will be again? I felt pretty much validated, when Jionni finally came to Florence and behaved like a dick-boyfriend. Like I said a couple of reviews ago, he should have known who he is dating, and he should have expected things like the skirt “incident” to happen (though I believe it’s happening in Florence much often than in Seaside or Miami). The only good thing coming out of this whole mess is the really excellent drama. Snooki crying, devastated, her world just broke apart, and after she said she wanted to make little Guido babies with Jionni, even mentioning marrying him (I still remember Snooki saying she wasn’t really up for that), her future is suddenly crushed. That makes Snooki a somewhat likable person here, because we all had such a situation once. Well, maybe just the girls. And maybe like 10 percent of them or so. But hey, Snooki is just a human being also – nice that we got that out of the way here.

Other than that, the episode just had Mike’s little “dilemma” with Brittany and the Australian chick as a highlight, because I’m about to forget all the rest. Maybe I should stop to watch (and write about) three episodes in a row, because it is getting tiring after a while. (But whatever, the season is almost over, right?). So, Mike’s little dilemma: hilarious. Unfortunately, it wasn’t much of a dilemma, since he kicked out the Australian chick and kept Brittany. Which was a nice move. I wonder what the Australian chick was thinking, when she a) saw the blond chick in Mike’s bed, and b) was asked by Mike to leave. What are girls thinking, who were about to hook up with “that star” from “that reality show” in Italy? There you probably think your brains will about to be fucked out, and then there’s a random blond chick cockblocking your way into stardom.

Jenni’s efforts of running after Jionni to talk to him: nice effort, but I don’t believe she was running for hours after him. In addition, I didn’t see any repercussions here, because the camera was too busy to continue showing Snooki and her night of crying. I’m hoping for a continuation here, because Snooki’s intervention she should have gotten two episodes ago is now needed. More than ever. 8/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Meatball Mashup”)

leave a comment »

Lesbihonest, part two. Or did they call it Lesbionics? I have no clue, but when you wanna see how two Guido girls hook up while drunk, this is the episode for you. I don’t even know how this happened. Somehow this was an event between completely ridiculous, totally hilarious, and everything but horny. This was Snooki and Deena in their best form, which means that they were pretty much the worst persons in the planet. Or on the planet? On the planet.

Well, the trip to Riccione was pretty entertaining. Of course the girls would use the weekend out to heavily drink and get drunk until they can’t even remember they are in Italy. In some parts, it was actually hilarious, especially when Deena and Nicole were hunting down the house music and started having their own party, without remorse for anybody else in this planet. I mean on this planet. You could clearly see that Team meatball does not care at all about what people are thinking of them (which is probably why the show itself still exists, even after all the bashing and terrorizing), and they prove that their pretty much (Guido) trash. I mean, they literally prove it with hiding in the trash bins at work. How can the girls be so stupid? Was the alcohol still in their system Monday morning, explaining this horrendous behavior? Nothing against having fun, but even Snooki should notice that this went a bit too far. Especially after hearing her say in the third season that she won’t drink anymore. Yeah, right. It’s a miracle that Snooki was arrested, because she wasn’t as drunk as on Seaside.

Other than that,t he road trip was just a way of getting the cast out of Florence and onto the beach. There were actually almost no beach scenes at all, which was a bit of a shame. I thought there would be some beach fun, since JERSEY SHORE didn’t have those kind of scenes for a long time (forgetting the Snooki-drunk-fall-in-beach-sand incident from the last season here). In addition, I was waiting for a bit more from Jenni. She really was pissed, and I was feeling with her here, but next morning she was all about filling the blanks of the two blank girls and joked around, was laughing, was having a bit of fun, instead of talking some sense into the girls. Since it wasn’t really clear if Deena and Snooki have made out and really made out, and made some babies for themselves. After seeing them making out like world champions, I was almost believing one would go preggers because of it.

Unfortunately, that was the only interesting, talkable part of the episode. Not even Sam and Ron did get enough screentime to prepare their next fight. Not even Mike could say to everybody that he’s back to normal, in a different kind of way (a way I like so far – he really has changed, now it’s interesting how long it will hold). Not even Jenni could be meaner and more pissed than she was at the ride to the hotel. The fact that the episode ended with the car accident and both Snooki and Deena in the police car, getting arrested (Deena too?) didn’t save the episode much. Except for the fact that Snooki can be a poor girl every now and then. Her situation really was fucked, when she first realized the accident, didn’t have her license (of course she didn’t), and then saw one of the cops being transported away on a gurney. OMG, that’s gonna have consequences… 6.5/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Fistpump, Pushups, Chapstick”)

leave a comment »

Is there no fighting material left for the cast anymore? Compared to the previous episodes, this was a rather boring hour of television, but only because nothing was happening, which let me care. Except Ronnie and Sammi have another one of those shots at relationship, which seriously brought another Darth-Vader-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out of my mouth. This can’t be happening…

I wonder what the viewers were thinking about it after this episode. I’m too lazy to read the internet and opinions about the viewers, who actually watch JERSEY SHORE for what it is, and not bash it because it is Lucifer of all reality television shows. I wonder if they were as annoyed as I was, when Ronnie came with another round of “I’m sorry” and “I love you”, even though he just metaphorically told Sam three seconds ago that them being together is toxic. And not just for them, but for everybody in the house. At least the conversation Ron and Sam had, was a little bit of an eye opener, and not another one of those moments, where Ron and/or Sam go alone in front of the camera and tell the viewers that the roommates better stay out of their relationship and business. This time, the two listened to what Vinny had to say. I just wished that every one of the roommates would have had the balls to tell Ron and Sam what is up. Just so that they fucking know. Otherwise, I’m expecting another crazy big fight in two episodes. For now, the millionth make-up between Ron and Sam went splendidly in the club.

The Guido douchebag moments were hilarious. It’s nice to see that Vinny and Pauly are still the comedians in the group, making awesome stuff out of shit and entertaining friends and viewers. First off, I actually liked Pauly’s new hair style – I never could begin anything with the one he had since day one, because it looks … awkward (but every one’s haircut for themselves), but this look was good-looking on him. And good enough for cracking a joke here and there. Loved the fist bump moment in front of the camera. Vinny and Pauly for President. No, I’m not serious, but they are carrying the comedy part of the show at the moment.

Then there was Snooki’s relationship mess. I don’t like Jionni. Okay, I have seen him in one single scene in the season premiere, but when he behaves like a dick on the phone, then he really doesn’t know what he has, what he expects and hasn’t even deserved Snooki. Seriously, when you date a woman who parties, drinks, and doesn’t care if she pisses herself in the public, and have a problem with exactly that, why not listening to Jenni and break the fuck up? Now it’s gonna be interesting what will happen when Jionni comes to Florence. After all, the conflict with Mike is still not resolved, and I’m awaiting a big fat break-up.

Mike cried again. Probably a record in television, because when do you see a Guido like Mike cry in two subsequent episodes? But hey, understandable here. Mike in the middle of a 20-something crisis, with the wall still on his head (Mike became the wall, especially when he was talking to Snooki), but at the end he is a happy camper again, flirting and dancing.

By the way, I forgot to mention the bitch fight in the club: hilarious. First off, it’s great to see Snooki ready to cut balls for Deena’s honor, but how the hell didn’t they notice that they were pulling each other’s hair? I rather would have seen a real bitch fight between the blond and Deena, because that was what I was interested in, thanks to the preview clips between commercial breaks. 5.5/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“And the Wall Won”)

leave a comment »

Almost to the midpoint of the season and shit has hit the fan in a great fashion. I’m kinda happy it’s over now, though I’m expecting the conflict between Mike and Ronnie to heat up again. Mike already said it, the issue is unresolved, and it can explode at any time again, and I’m totally believing it. But since the Samron drama was involved in the whole fight, and there is a slight hope of this drama being finally over, I feel that there might be light at the end of the tunnel. But I know the guys. They will argue again. They will continue to be hotheads.

So, the wall brought Mike to the hospital and not Ronnie. First I was a bit confused that Mike was on the ground after kissing with the wall, while last episode’s “cliffhanger” went right to the fight, cutting out the kiss with the wall. Bad editing here, and very much a fake “blowout” at the end of last episode, when it wasn’t even the fight, which brought Mike into the hospital. But yeah, the fight was ridiculous of course. I was wondering what the camera man in the room was thinking, and how long it for the two “bodyguards” take to get into the room, breaking up the fight. I noticed the “outer persons” earlier already, especially when Sam and Jenni were fighting in 3×01/02, but I believe JERSEY SHORE just had its first episode with thee production members in the same picture, just because one of the was filming, and the other two were needed to cool down the hotheads. What are they thinking? What is the production team thinking after such a situation? It is definitely not normal, when things like this happen in reality TV, so I really wanna know the process of thinking with everybody involved. In front of and behind the camera.

A positive light shined on Mike throughout the episode, that he kept himself in the background, didn’t even hold a grudge against Ronnie in an obvious way. Mike was probably thinking longer and harder about the situation than Ronnie was (though Ron had more things to think about, since Sam was still an issue going on), so I understood his sadness, him being alone and losing some tears. After all, Mike is supposed to be the leader, and I don’t think he wants anybody to see him down like that. Only the laughing moment between him and Ron was a bit awkward. I was like Snooki there: What the fuck is going on between the two? If I would have been one of the two, I would have not lost one single word to the other fr a couple of days. Just for the grass to grow over the situation, let it not just cool off, but freeze off. Again, Mike said already the issue is unresolved, but then again he laughs with Ron about it? That didn’t feel right to me.

And then there’s Samron. Sammi learns about the Long Island girl, is not interested in Ron anymore, Ron can’t talk to her anymore, and in general both are pretty lame when it comes to talking to each other. They aren’t even listening to each other, so why are they still trying to talk to each other? Mysterious. Really. But hey, it seems like they are over for good – then again, Ronnie came, told about his love and affection for Sam, and was probably thinking about the next fight already, because another make-up is (UNVERMEIDLICH). The two really should go their separate ways. Maybe they think about the situation next time, when they talk about going back together. And season three. And Miami. Three clearly big events in their lives, and they still think about their love and affection. These kids are definitely not normal anymore.

I don’t even wanna lose words about Pauly’s almost-fight in the club. That was just idiotic. I don’t care about his state of mind and tension because all of the past shit of this episode, but easily going into a verbal fight like this? In a club? Over a girl? (Well, probably over a girl…). C’mon, Pauly, I know you better… Or maybe not. 8/10

Episode Review: JERSEY SHORE (“Crime and Punishment”)

leave a comment »

What. The. Fuck. Forget the “Fade to Black” and the “Boardwalk Blowout” from the first season. Forget the Miami disaster between Sam and the girls. Forget the Samron disaster in Seaside in the third season. This episode (and the next one) are going to take the cake. Because I haven’t seen shit like this before. I was expecting for the episode to end at the most crucial moment, because the producers did it three times before in this show (the punch Snooki got, the first fight between the girls in S2, the second fight between the girls in the S3 premiere), so I awaited the big fight for the episode to end. And shit… I don’t even wanna watch the next episode, because this is just nuts.

I know that Ronnie has a temper. But like his on-and-off problem Sammi, he can’t get past the fact that Mike is a talker, who just serves his very own ego. Hasn’t Ronnie learned in the past year that Mike can’t do anything else? Hasn’t Mike learned in the past year that he shouldn’t talk shit about Ronnie behind his back? It was obvious that the shit would hit the fan sooner or later. And it’s time for that NOW. But only thanks to the girls, who also can’t stop talking about the events. Especially Jenni and Sammi. First Jenni’s efforts to talk sense into Ronnie, because he is still calling Hannah behind Sam’s back, which also means trouble ahead in the house. At this moment alone, Ronnie was already pissed, because his roommates couldn’t stay out of his business (though Jenni was right to be worried, and Ronnie should know that), but when he heard about what Mike was saying, he totally overreacted. He was ready for the big fight, since he slowly took his jewelery down and stood chest-naked in front of Mike, ready to literally kill him. And even Mike was ready to fight Ronnie, after he realized that Ronnie wouldn’t back up. Fuck, talk about adrenaline and testosterone here. I wouldn’t have known what to do in the situation, when you have a guy like Ronnie, easily losing his temper here and transforming into a killing machine, and a guy like Mike, who will probably not go down that easily, standing in front of each other, pulling an HBO boxing match, where only one will survive. Snooki didn’t know what to think, Sam was already starting to cry, and Jenni probably didn’t know on which planet she was at the moment. Fuck, what a fucked-up situation. And I really don’t wanna know how it ends. Though I have to say, I can understand both sides for a couple of seconds. Mike is annoyed of Ronnie, because of the whole Samron drama, and Ronnie is annoyed of Mike, because he doesn’t know the guy code anymore. But when this happens for a whole year, it’s no wonder that the boiler is exploding.

But what about the rest of the episode? Well, there was the conversation between Deena and Vinny/Pauly, after the cockblock stunt from the last episode. Here I was on Pauly’s side, since he was right about Deena having changed. But he was forgetting that Deena is mostly drunk in her life, and when she’s drunk, she is a complete different person. The prank of the guys was really distasteful though. The guys were already noticing that Deena was about to go down emotionally, and then they decide to laugh about it and pull another prank? I didn’t want to be Deena in that moment, because I was feeling the same once in my life. That was no prank, that was almost bullying by Pauly, which was so not nice.

Finally there was the first day of work. Not really interesting, except Marco developing to a real enemy for the group. He doesn’t like what he sees, and Snooki doesn’t like what she’s doing. I was laughing when she was taking the wine and drinking it, and I saw her hurting, when Marco poured the rest of the bottle away in front of Snooki. Bad Marco. Enemy right there. Somewhat hilarious. But also idiotic from Snooki to behave like that.

Yeah, the fight makes this season a highlight. If this is good news or bad news, you have to decide. JERSEY SHORE hater will know that it’s bad news. But episodes like this in reality shows like JERSEY SHORE only work, when you know the cast for three seasons already. I don’t believe that’s also happening in THE REAL WORLD… 7.5/10

Whoa, what a twisty episode. Probably a highlight of the reality series so far, because so much fucked-up shit was happening. Lesbian action, cockblocking, cross, double cross, and the most interesting question in reality TV history: Did Mike and Snooki hook up two months ago?

Seriously, my eyes were wide open, when Snooki came with that: Mike is a liar, nothing happened at all, but Mike is pressing for his truth here, and the two have hooked up. Interesting development here, especially with Jionni in the background here, who will probably be pissed, when he’s learning the truth. But it’s really gonna be interesting for the show itself here. If Snooki is lying to save her boyfriend, it’s gonna end not well for the two, when Jionni comes to visit, and we will have to prepare for more war – especially between Mike and Snooki. If Mike lies and eventually destroyed Snooki’s relationship with Jionni, Mike can buy himself a coffin for sure. If Snooki lies and she and Mike in fact hooked up, that’s gonna create different tension in the house, with this whole situation piling up like shit now. If Mike lies, he won’t be trusted by anybody in the house anymore, and his leader status is pretty much dead from now on. Conclusion: Things are going to change, and I don’t believe they are going to be normal when this whole thing is resolved after this season. What’s gonna happen when the cast is back in Jersey again? Whoa, twisty situation right there.

Next on the agenda: The threesome turned into a lesbian experience for Deena (who did not fall or was heavily drunk – I’m disappointed) turned into a lucky night for Vinny. Umm yeah, I was laughing hard here. First the revelation that Brittany has a twin sister. Then the two stalking the group. Then twin sister Erica revealing she’s a virgin (WTF?!? I mean… WTF?!?), then Deena cockblocking Mike’s threesome in the club and literally taking Erica for some tongue kissing. Then Deena and Erica ACTUALLY HOOKING UP, for god’s sake. I would have never thought that one of the girls, especially Deena (and she is already a free spirit), is gonna have a lesbian experience in front of the camera. But even more hilarious was Erica’s bed hopping. Was she drunk? First Mike, then Deena, then Vinny, then back to Deena, and finally Vinny, just because Deena couldn’t do it? Hilarious, dude. This is comedy gold. No matter if you hate JERSEY SHORE, but this should be adapted into a comedy series right fucking now, just so everybody can see what was happening in Florence. And what did I love Deena’s reaction when she saw Erica in Vinny’s bed. In addition to Vinny’s comment about Deena pulling a double robbery on him, even though she hooked up with Erica first. All of it was true here, and I was laughing even more because of it.

And Deena’s episode began already hilarious with that Italian guy and the pairing Vinny/Pauly cockblocking her. I was smiling, when that dude vanished in the middle of the night. He probably didn’t get it in, and was very happy not to, judging from his comment right after the verbal fight between Deena and Vinny. Oh my god, Deena and Vinny shouldn’t be friends after this episode. I mean, first Vinny cockblocks Deena, and then he steals her woman for the night. That’s just… mean.

A few words to Sam and Ron? When Sam said that they are back together, I had Darth Vader screaming in my head: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. This can’t be true. So, let’s count the seconds until the next fight. I so don’t believe them one single word, when they were talking about how they’ve changed, and how they are not going to fuck up this shot. Though Sam’s comment was hilarious that the first fight after they got back together was not about them, and it was fucking hilarious for Sam. True that. 9/10

Fuckable sisters, found by the production team

Who has doubts here?
