The last time we saw the gang, they were leaving Miami a fractured family. They still thought of themselves as a family but the cracks were visible. Angelina was long gone, unable to make it through another whole season. Snooki and JWOWW were BFFs, MVP were a cohesive unit and Ronnie and Sammi were the only people who could stand Ronnie and Sammi. Season two probably beat expectations and now we’re on to season three and the crew is back in Jersey where they belong.
Season three starts with the usual scenes of everyone getting ready to go and making their way to the Jersey shore. This time there’s no Angelina. The producers decided the third times not the charm when it comes to her. She was mildly entertaining but for the most part, a total bitch. I mean they’re all bitches but she was an annoying, lying, whiny bitch and that’s the worst kind. She was able to string Jose along and get a Fossil watch out of him but pretty much the rest of the country couldn’t stand her.
In her stead we get Deena, Snooki’s best friend. They could be sisters. Deena is a dental assistant/waitress and self-proclaimed “walking holiday and “blast in a glass”. She wasn’t kidding. I bet she will be a thousand times more fun than Angelina which will automatically make her one million times more fun than Sammi. Deena couldn’t even make the ride from Poughkeepsie to Seaside Heights without dipping into the special bottle of booze she was saving for the Jersey shore. Welcome to the family Deena.
The rest of the gang you already know. Snooki and JWOWW are still friends but with Deena in the mix now I wonder if that relationship starts to change? Vinny and Pauly D are tight. Vinny looked genuinely excited when he hears that Pauly’s outside and even meets him at the door. The Situation is The Situation. Sammi and Ronnie are still together and as depressing as ever.
Everyone seemed happy to be returning to the shore except Sammi. She seemed like she was only interesting in bashing Snooki and JWOWW. Sammi got one shot in on JWOWW last season and she milked it the whole season. She thought she had life by the balls but little did she know, or maybe she didn’t want to know, that everyone thought she was the stupidest woman alive. Ronnie made her look so bad and she was the only one who didn’t realize it. She walked into the house like she was the queen and everyone better watch out. Ronnie is like a puppy and won’t dare do anything unless Sammi gives her approval. He may not be the best boyfriend alive but he’s learning how this relationship game works, for now.
Sammi and Ronnie arrive first and immediately piss everyone off and the rest of the group hasn’t even shown up yet. They decide to take the upstairs room. No problem, except it has three beds and nobody wants to room with them. Poor Situation, he wanted MVP to room together but since he showed up last, he has to bunk with Ronnie and Sammi. Situation tries to put a brave face on but you could tell he didn’t like it one bit. The Situation head rub told the whole story. The rest of the girls are together while Pauly D, Vinny and Vinny’s shower caddy have the other room.
As everyone finally makes their way to the house you see that the Snooki, JWOWW Sammi situation hasn’t mellowed one bit. Sammi seems more emboldened to be a bitch to the rest and the tension rises quickly with Deena in the mix. The group settles, has a meal and then things get more interesting. An already drunk Deena wants to show Mike her cowboy hat but ends up showing him much more. Snooki calls it a kooka and Deena calls it a na na. Whatever you call it, The Situation saw it.
Sitch tells Ronnie and Sammi. Sammi laughs and Deena gets pissed off. While the gang hangs out downstairs, Ronnie and Sammi are in their room doing nothing. Shocker. Deena goes off on Sammi and makes a comment about Ronnie which sets him off and he goes downstairs to confront Deena and drama ensues. Sammi, Snooki and JWOWW have it out again about the note. Snooki drops a story, which may or not be true, about Ronnie’s mom calling her and asking what Ronnie’s doing with, “this boring-ass bitch”. Ronnie calls Snooki a loser from Poughkeepsie. Deena wants a piece of Sammi but instead Sammi gets JWOWW. The whole time, Vinny, Pauly D and The Situation are watching as if they’re at a tennis match. Their heads are going back and for with every insult being thrown across the room. Plus, Deena calls Sammi a cunt on the first day. Way to start out season three.
Somewhere between everyone showing up at the house and Deena showing Mike the goods, Snooki and Vinny have a falling out. Deena, Snooki and Vinny were in the hot tub and Vinny was creepin’ on Deena and that made Snooks very angry. Seems Vinny hooked up with her friend Ryder in between seasons and now she doesn’t want him hooking up with another one of her friends, her best friend. Snooki offers herself but Vinny doesn’t want to ruin their friendship and another fight has started. Looks like drama will dominate this season. Why wouldn’t Snooki be angry with Deena?
Next week we’ll get the conclusion of the JWOWW – Sammi fight. Looks like a good one. The only complaint I have about this episode is the end. For some reason they decide to show a season preview and we see some pretty interesting things. Looks like the Ronnie-Sammi thing will come to a screeching halt but I don’t know how permanent that will be. The most interesting thing is that they show a clip of Sammi, Deena and Snooki playing and sliding down the steps. How can this be? How can Snooki have anything to do with Sammi? Where’s JWOWW during this whole thing? Can’t wait to see what unfolds. I hope this season we get to meet Jay 420, Johnny Yanks and Bill.
