Thought on Ronnie's fight aftermath-
The guy was sleeping on the floor- The Situation- great way to describe the guy who got knocked out.
Sammy feels horrible, what she should feel horrible about is ruining the Jersey Shore for Ronnie. And she mainly annoyed that she had to sleep by herself. Really? That's where her concern lies.
So they roommates come back to the house and Pauly D playing hansyies with the Israeli? ---Huge side tangent here, I happened to see 5 minutes of the reunion while I was getting my stuff together last night and apparently Pauly was telling a story about how she showed up in Rhode Island at one of his shows. She is officially crazy and Pauly lives in RI? How did I miss this? How did he make it on to the Jersey Shore? At some point in the room Vinny describes Isralies fighting as shooting guns...I think he may have started an Italian/Israeli war.
Ok I digress
Question- What's the over under on # of phone calls The Situation made in the summer?
Jwoww- referring to all the meatheads at the shore Labor Day weekend as "gorilla central" and being honestly excited about it. Not ever sure what to say.
And the roommates decided to go to the beach. Situations says they never really been to the beach? wtf were they doing all summer? I always wondered why there was not beach scenes. You figure all the girls would want to tan and the guys could have hit on girls. Kinda disappointing.
"do what i do best--pimp it"- the situation at the beach
Poor Snickers
goes back to the house to call the Farmer b/c she needs a date?
Why does she NEED a date? Were were supposed to go on a date, did we miss something?
Then she says "why would u make me like you for no reason?" And MTV is gonna give her a show. I will not be watching.
You cant really slam-hang up the duck phone can you?
So she decides to start her own party and dance on the boardwalk
She was gonna put her hat down for money that was how big the crowd was. i saw like 12 people and they were probslby ondering if she was "special?
Love how she wants the ex-boyfriend to come to her house then says hes the last person she wante to see
SHE IS A TRAIN WRECK
Guys night out--chucky cheese 4 dudes- nice comparison
Then Pauly talks about how special the time was and the bonds they formed...then he pauses and stares into the camera like his brain frooz and then goe "wow that was deep"
Connely Station-ronnie and sammy- right around the block from my grandmas in Belmar- nice- been there a couple times, good bar attached to it.....but boring waste of my time watching them
How did they not go to DJs, the guido capital of the world?
wow snicks was plastered in the hot tub...yelling at the camera? Priceless
if ur hungry try a snickers---The situation, maybe a top 3 quote of his from the season
That was the last night? Pretty weak. It was almost like they were told not to go out and party. Or it could have been Monday night so the shore was a ghost town
Their last supper is so staged, like all reality shows, kinda annoys me. It is like the producers were like " ok, you all eat dinner and talk abouty the last 2 months.
What happens down at the shore? One minute you got 3 girls in the jacuzzi the next minute somebody is in jail and you gotta bail them out--another great Situation quote, maybe he could have a desk calendar with his quotes.
Maybe we should get a shore house next summer? A set up if there ever was one. He is daring MTV to do this again.
Come on SITUATIONS 1st to leave the house?
You think the drew numbers to see who leaves when or the producers decide.
I was pumped for the episode but should have remembered that the last episode in all reality shows is not really an episode but more of a look-back at what was

Leading to the Finale
I could go for a Jersey Shore desk calendar. Tidbits about each character. SOLD. Although i would also go for a Yankees or a crossword one as well. Or how about a reality TV show desk calendar? Lots of ideas going on right not.
I am seriously considering getting the Pauly D poster for the garage. Or if I can find a Jersey Shore cast one. What do you think? I copies you and now have some Jersey Shore pics on my classroom door. If i got you and Lisa the poster, framed, as a gift, she might feel obliged to hang it up. If not, the living room has some space. How about cut it in half and tape it to the elevator doors. Now thats an idea.
Will you be having your own list of awards as well? I will not be watching the reunion afterwards and blogging about it. I want to let the season digest for a day or 2 before watching the reunion.
I can't believe they did not stress this out further once the show aired. Hopefully there will be a SHIT they didnt show episode.
I'm still not sold on Ronnie being 220. He is my height, no way he is 220. 185 maybe.
You Cancun idea...brilliant. But I want to see them interact with other MTV reality personalities. Like they meet up with and have to go out with Joey and CJ or with Evan and Kenny. I think listening to them describe what was going on could be amazing.
Wait a minute, I just looked at Jwoww site. You are getting a poster of Pauly and of JWoww. wow.
Now I dont want to see Snickers on TV anymore, but you can just envision the crap show MTV has made up for her. You know it is coming and we cannot stop it.

Notes on the rankings... Reconsidering JWOWW
Excellent idea for a Pauly D calendar. However I will up the ante. Not only do I want the standard wall calendar, I’m looking for the daily desk calendar. I want to start each morning with a new hilarious picture and factoid about or by Pauly D.
Yes I recognize that I am probably the last person in America who uses one of those traditional rip of calendars. Currently my desk at work has two –a Dilbert and NY Giants trivia version.
As to your offer to purchase my son a Pauly D poster, while I have no doubt that both he and I will enjoy it, I’m not sure how much his mom will agree that it goes with the Nursery motif. I remember at one point during the wedding planning, I would come up with funny if not mildly inappropriate ideas, and Lisa would kill them. “This is our wedding. It is a serious and important day, and not the time or place for your silly little jokes with your little friends.”
I’m picturing getting a similar speech regarding child raising as I come up with fun ideas for my kid.
On a side note, there is a picture of Pauly D on my office door.
Great idea for an awards blog. Itching for it already.
Not so sure, about CT being that much bigger than Ronnie. I know he is listed at 6 foot, and Simmons once judged him at 240. Guessing that Ronnie is probably 220. I respect a 20 pound weight difference, but Ronnie is a lot more compact. In either case, I would pay good money to watch them fight.
On a side note. I forgot to mention that in Vegas this weekend there was a billboard for a club promoting that Pauly D and The Situation were going to make an appearance next weekend. Imagine if I had been there at the same time.
Okay so I’ll comment on your rankings:
Elite-
Originally I got a head full of steam and was going to argue your choices, but when I step back and take an objective look, I tend to agree. While this is not in my order of preference, you probably got the order right. A few points:
• The Situation and Snookie are far and way the most discussed portions of the show. Not that it is good, it is a combo of their characters as well as how this was edited.
• The Situation seemed to be involved in everything and that is why he is ranked number 1. Also he nicknamed his abs.
• Snookie’s dancing gets her up the list. The only things with her is it felt like she was edited/ put on to be entertaining. She is the least interesting person to me, in that if I could have lunch with anyone person on the show and hear their perspective on the actual experience, she would be dead last. Lets also assume that as the previews infer she has sex with The Situation in the hot tub in the finale and she gets some additional props.
• Pauly D is obviously my favorite. He delivers one-liners, avoids trouble, and is always up for fun. He never completely carries an episode which probably hurts him in the rankings.
The Rest:
I think your big miss is with Jwoww. She feel off pretty dramatically and that was her downfall but look back through our collection of posts and check out Jwoww’s stats. She is pretty absurd. If she had only decided to drop her boyfriend and unleash on Seaside she would have been in the upper tier.
Some other notes:
• Ronnie is real over rated. His size and two fights were good. But otherwise didn’t you get bored with his screen time. He was like watching Ron Dayne on the Giants. All sorts of hype, but an utterly disappointing experience.
• Vinny was just the middle of the road character and simply couldn’t be as interesting as the other folks. At least he didn’t take anything off the table… as opposed to…
• Sammy. Flop Flop Flop all day long. I had low expectations of her from the get go but she got worse throughout the summer.
Going Forward Rankings:
1 A and 1 B
The Situation and Pauly D have for me the most potential. I think the combo of their idiocy and their shtick has more appeal than anyone else. Send these two to Cancun and tell me I’m not watching 10 episodes. If I had to choose a top dog it is The Situation based on his espn performance alone.
2. Jwoww, will pose nude. And my hunch is that some time in the next 10 months if the rent is due and the coffers are empty we might see this young girl in porn. Btw. Here is her site…
http://www.jwoww.com/index.php
How much do you love that she is getting kickbacks from a plastic surgeon.
3. Snookie- I agree that she will pimp herself out, but here is the thing no one is going to want to watch her. She isn’t hot enough to get the “I hope she gets naked attention” And we have already done the ditzy famous thing with Paris Hilton. (who btw is someone people like to see naked.) I just don’t see where she goes.
Here is the thing. In the same week that Pauly D and The situation are getting billboards promiing their club appearances in Vegas, I saw an article in Newsday about Snookie doing promotions at a Long Island tanning salon. Really this is the best she could deliver.
4. Ronnie has a page six article in the works for his next bar fight arrest.

Website and Rankings
You are right. We need more of Pauly D's website. There should be more merchandise and why no events on the calendar? I want to go see him somewhere at an event.
But seriously and this will be in writing. I buy Bennett a Pauly D poster and it will have to be hung in his room for 4 months after he is born.
Also I think CT kicks Ronnie's ass and it is not even close. CT is way bigger. Way Bigger.
There will definetly be an Awards blog on Friday
Rankings:
SHOW PERFORMANCE:
The Elite
1. The Situation- i don't see how it could be anyone else. He was the most over the top. Tried to score the most girls, argued with everyone in every episode, came up with acronyms like GTL. I mean mention "The Situation" and people who overhear you will join in the conversation.
2. After much debate I am going to have to go with Snickers. I do not want to but I think it is. Getting punched in the face helped. But also her club dancing antics, bad luck with guys, she claimed to have delivered a calf and had to set a record for "most times having her crotch blurred". To think she almost left the show. Also a guy puked on her.
3. Pauly D- the only reason I had to put snickers ahead of him is b/c sometimes it felt like he rode on the Situations coat tails, but only b/c the situation is so boisterous. Although he had one of the single best performance on a show a bit back. He had so many memorable quotes, he Dj-ed one night, had a stalker. Soild performance.
The Rest:
4. Ronnie- Beating the crap out of 2 guys was probably his show highlights. That and the Ron-Ron juice. Funny how the guy who said "never fall in love at the Jersey shore" fell in love.
5. Jwoww- Thinks kissing is not cheating. I dont remember seeing her DDs blurred out at all. She did punch a girl and the stiuation. Also wore insane clothes to clubs, but she really did not live up to expectations. What happened to her and Pauly?
6. Vinny- Got so little air time, you never know b/c its all in the hands of the editors. Bronnie from RWC wanted to know why they only showed him hooking up with 2 girls in cancun when there was many more. He did steal the bosses girl.
7. Sammy Sweatheart- No fun at all. just none at all. other than being on the wrong end of house drama she did nothing except neutralize Ronnie's impact on the show.
GOING FOWARD:
1. Snickers- Unfortuantely I see her getting her own stupid MTV show where she is the host or something.
2. The Situation- he is a genius for saying on the previews for the last episode "we should get a house next summer". Talk about leaving the door open for MTV. They would have to go somewhere else though. Wildwood would be decent.
3. Pauly D- He is a dj and this will probably help him the most out of anyone. He will use this the best to further his career. But the other may be in the spotlight more.
4. Jwoww- Penthouse?
5- Ronnie- RW/RR chellenges?
But seriously and this will be in writing. I buy Bennett a Pauly D poster and it will have to be hung in his room for 4 months after he is born.

Lots too discuss
Paulie D’s stalker is probably the most authentic part of this show. For everyone who has spent a weekend down the shore, who hasn’t had the awkward boardwalk run-in with a girl you hit on or hooked up with. Its part of the hilarity of the shore scene. At night people try to hook up and during the day you walk up and down the boardwalk checking people out or avoiding mistakes from the night.
As for his website. (www.mtvdjpaulyd.com) It scores a perfect 100 out of 100 on the unintentional comedy scale. I’m not kidding this web site could deserve its own 20,000 word post. I spend a good chunk of my day job talking to clients about their web sites as ways they could be improved or optimized. I have no suggestions for Paulie except- more.
More of everything. More shirtless photos, more use of the Italian flag colors, more 1994 airbursh graphics, more calendars of his events which are 100% empty, more personal blog posts that are labeled as posted by someone else… simply put- MORE.
Last note on Paulie’s site. Forget about me. I want one of his posters for my babies nursery. If I could register on his site I would!
Robbie. I’m not going to touch your comments about domestic violence with a 10 foot pole. I’m just going to stand back and let you alone be the one who calls it “an injustice” that MV is not showing more man on women violence. I am of course picturing Sue Henning from 10’th grade getting angrier and angrier and eventually ripping your head off before she self combusts.
That said Ronnie might need to enter into a steel cage match with CT from the Real World. The two of them are the clear favorites in terms of pure animal aggression that MTV has ever introduced us to. Can MTV make this happen. Please?
Vinnie is on the rise at the same time that Jwoww’s stock is dropping. And I tell you its not an even trade. I will give up the guy who makes a few wise cracks to The Situation in exchange for the girl who said she rips heads off guys after she has sex with them. Even her fight with The Situation was only mildly interesting. I really am going to need her to redeem herself in the finale or else we’ll have to wait for her porn tape before she can move back up the rankings.
On the topic of rankings, it sounds like you are leaning towards The Situation as your personal favorite. Why don’t we make that the topic of our next back and forth.
Give me two types of rankings.
1. Current rankings based on their performance on the show
2. Expected ranking based on what you think they will end up doing with their 15 minutes of fame going forward.

Thoughts Heading in to the Last Episode
So before the last episode lets discuss a few topics.
How about Pauly D's Israeli stalker. Holy crap that girl kept showing up everywhere. But I am guessing since Seaside's boardwalk is not that long(nothing like Wildwood at all) and it could not be too hard to find the camera crew, he was not a hard guy to find. You know Vinny was just trying not to crack up hysterically the entire time. But still this girl is crazy and the accent was not helping her at all. After all that drama then the confrontation at Karma, how does Pauly leave with her? It baffles me. Hopefully this will be discussed. Have you seen Pauly D's website? www.mtvdjpaulyd.com hopefully someone buys me a Pauly D poster for my birthday.
Ronnie- Who is this guy Rocky? Talk about roid rage. First he beats the guy up on the boardwalk, who totally had it coming....then he goes running down the street and knocks a guy out with one punch. The cameras could not even keep up with him, so disappointingly we miss the punch. AND MTV......why is it ok to show girls punching guys, guys punching guys and girls punching girls, but not guys punching girls. Kinda of an injustice. So basically that is the only form of unaccecptable violence?
Vinny- Starting to make a late run toward the finish. Not taking any crap from and talking shit on The Situation. Good for him, Even if he has gotten less air time than Angelina who was on the show for 2 episodes.
Jwoww- Aside from the slutty outfits she wears to clubs, she's been a major disappointment. What happened to "Watch out Seaside"?
Did you know Snickers is 4'9" That is really really short. She looks like...i lost my train of thought. damn it I love how she tried to start shit with Ronnie and Sammy about not hanging out and then they went all around to everyone and basically called bullshit. It was like a Big Brother moment.
The situation with the pickles and the bowl under vinnys bed.....classic...plain and simple.
I think I may write a 5000 word essay on The Situation once the season is over. He has to be getting another show, i dont want him hosting anything...no he needs to be on a show
Thats all for now

New Year, Same Situation
So I agree that Pauly and Snickers are playing into the hype b/c they are smart. Everytime Pauly smiles he is daring MTV to give him his own show or be the host of something. And sign me up for whatever it is. I wager that Snickers will get some kind of deal and it will suck.....let me repeat.....it will suck. She is not very interesting at all. I think Ronnie and Jwoww are shoe ins for a challenge.
The Michael Cera video you are referring to...is it the one where the make him into a guido? B/c that is genius.
I forgot to mention the ridiculous underwear Jwoww wore out that night. Seriously, it was a pair of boy shorts. Who goes out in something like that unless you are going to party at the Playboy Mansion? Apparently Jwoww does.
With this weeks episode, only Sammie, The Situation and Vinny have not punched or been punched in Seaside.
The situation is turning into a flop with the ladies. Joey from RW Cancun has destroyed him in the bagging girls category
They should make a MTV challenge with people from various shows, but the catch is they can't be jacked up. Imagine a show with Joey from RW Cancun, Pauly D, and I don't even know who else right now, but you get the drift. Wait....waht about a show with just those 2 guys, it would be awesome. Hey Simmons, there is a quality half baked idea
The Michael Cera video you are referring to...is it the one where the make him into a guido? B/c that is genius.
I forgot to mention the ridiculous underwear Jwoww wore out that night. Seriously, it was a pair of boy shorts. Who goes out in something like that unless you are going to party at the Playboy Mansion? Apparently Jwoww does.
With this weeks episode, only Sammie, The Situation and Vinny have not punched or been punched in Seaside.
The situation is turning into a flop with the ladies. Joey from RW Cancun has destroyed him in the bagging girls category
They should make a MTV challenge with people from various shows, but the catch is they can't be jacked up. Imagine a show with Joey from RW Cancun, Pauly D, and I don't even know who else right now, but you get the drift. Wait....waht about a show with just those 2 guys, it would be awesome. Hey Simmons, there is a quality half baked idea

A late, but lenghty reply
Oh boy it is great being back with our friends at the Jersey Shore. I too agree the wait was long but at least it is over.
Jumping right in, I agree with you that it is nice to see these solid talented upstanding citizens cashing in on their hard earned fame. These kids are doing everything they can to capitalize on this opportunity. I thought their Leno performance was poor… but have you seen the Michael Cera/ Jersey Shore video?
I do have 1 prediction for the show based on their MTV. I may be reading into this too much but I thought it was interesting that through the entire MTV NYE show the kept Ronnie and Sammie separate from the rest of the cast. I’m saying there is some sort of major rift in the house where those two group have a major falling out. God could only bless us with a full on throw down where Ronnie goes on a roid rage and Jwoww starts throwing haymakers again
Anyhow Lets rap up the conversation on the Snookie Punch.
I kid you not I watched this footage again and again, looking for reactions from each cast member, and I have to tell you I agree with Ronnie. You can ask the wife, but its true, even before Ronnie brought up the fact that the Situation was right in the middle of it and did nothing I was on top of it. In fact I started thinking I had some great angle for the blog. Unfortunately Ronnie picked up on the same thing. You may be right and its possible that the Situation froze up but watch his reaction again and it looks like he simply wussed out. Like Chris and his old famous disappearing acts to the bathroom during any of the old FBBC fight, I’m a bit suspicious. Put it this way, the next time anyone from the cast gets into a fight, I’m going to focus on the Situation’s reaction.
A final note on Snookie’s reaction. I think we all knew that she was going to milk the punch for all of the sympathy she could get, but the disabled line was too much. I love the look of fake fear that came across her face when she got the call that her attacker was let out of jail. Now I want to be clear (especiialy to my wife) that I am not making light of a woman being assaulted; but did Snookie really have something to fear from this guy? She lives in a house of meatheads surrounded by cameras. The odds of her getting full on punched by a complete stranger once had to be 1 in 10,000; what are the odds of this guy doing it again 1 in 1,000,000.
I’m going to move past the Ronnie / Sammie relationship. Its slow boring and to me the only uninteresting part of the show. Wake me up next week when Ronnie goes nuts and wrestles a guy on the boardwalk.
Pauly D. Simple owns this show. I might consider paying his appearance fee simply to have him hang out with the two of us at a dirty local bar. First off, I think he might be the smartest one in the house. I think a small part of him knows that he is playing up this stereotype and he doesn’t care. When his says this ridiculous guido stuff he cracks a smile that sort of say, “go ahead laugh it up, but I’m getting paid to act like this.”
Jwoww’s fight tells me 1 trhings about Jwoww- she is not messing around she really is this ghetto. Let me explain. Snookie and Paulie D. for as much as I find them amusing are somewhat contrived. Their attitude and guido gangster style is part of a show or a persona that they have put on. But deep down you know they grew up in upper middle class suburbs and have about as much legit street cred as I do. Even as I write this I am picturing how little street cred I have since I wore and argyle sweater and a tweed jacket to work yesterday. That said my lack of experience doesn’t mean I can’t comment, judge, and criticize.
Here is my point. Some folks in the cast are playing up the stereotype, I think Jwoww might be the real deal. I think when she wears what can only be considered underwear out to the club cuz she thinks it is appropriate. And more so I think when she personalizes said underwear to have sequins spelling out “Jwoww” across the crotch and “F%^k You” on the ass because she thinks it looks good.
So when a person like this gets a bit looped up, and amped up watch out. And this is exactly what happened. That poor girl who thought she was being cool harassing the MTV show, might have been able to pull that off with some other folks in the house. But Jwoww was having none of it. She through that drink like a girl who has been in a lot of fights before and she was throwing haymakers at that girl even with the bouncers dragging her off. There is one girl who had a tan shirt who started the whole argument. Go back and watch her reaction when Jwoww lets loose. She wanted none of it. I might pick Jwoww as the one of the most intriguing people MTV has ever featured.

Happy New Year
Ok so we had to wait 2 weeks for a new episode and we knew it was gonna be a let down since all people were talking about was the Snookie punch. and the episode turned out to be not too bad. I do find it funny how much attention the cast is getting. They were on the MTV NYE show at Times Square. Of course if you are them you jump at this (who knows it may be in some kinda contract). I think they will have to be in a RW/RR challenge soon. We need to email some MTV execs ASAP, lets find email addresses and i'll send the emails.
Onto the epidode.
Ah the Situation.....even tries to bring a girl back after Snickers gets punched. Its funny how some cast members actually call her Snickers. Its like When George on Seinfeld tried to get people at work to call him T-Bone and they wound up calling him Coco. They just decided they were not calling her Snookie and instead Snickers. Anyhow, the situation says " Jackie you need to hang out, i dont know what you are doing. at least for a little bit". Even funnier, Ronnie sees this and bashes him to the others. He also blames The Situation for watching Snickers getting punched and not doing anything. Ever been so drunk and seen something happen and you're frozen b/c you're drunk and in plain amazement, like you are watching a movie or something? I bet that was what he was like. or not
More on Ronnie. Quote....." Like we Fucking love yo Snooks" Quote from Ronnies Mom while waiting for Sammie..." I could be getting my tan on" Also Ronnie is gonna look back in 2 years and be disappointed at his performance and "falling in love" at the jersey shore. The whole scene at the F- Cove, he looks miserable. Ant the F-Cove....who knew this existed down the shore? I didnt. It looks like something you see from Texas or Nevada. Uber-cool. Yes, Uber-cool
Snickers....quote "now i know they love me"--after being punched. It takes getting punched in the face for people to love you? I dont even know what to say about this. She also refers to herself as disabled after being punched. She is about as disabled as Michael Scott in the Office after he steps on a George Forman Grill
Pauly D quotes of the week
1. "I dont think my hair is bullet proof"
2. I think it will happen but it make take a few time, you know, they are not whores"
3. "Technically they are 200m5g's, they're not regualr turntables they are the best turntables you can buy" ( he was so excited talking about these. hilarious)
Jwoww fight---you can start it off on this topic
Note to anyone ever on a Reality show......Your hand may cover your mouth when hooking up with someone, but it really doesnt hide the fact that you are.

Snookie Punch: Round 3
Well Brad Ferro lost his teaching job. Not sure how NY works but in NJ if you get convicted of a felony, you lose your license. Maybe its the same as NJ and he just didnt have tenure and they did not rehire him. Who knows. I don't think 1 punch is a felony, but it was a girl. I think you plea those things down to a lesser charge. Have I been watching too much Law & Order? Maybe its not as easy as it seems. I dont defend hitting women, but they can get obnixous and in your face because they know that 99.99% of the time the guy will not hit them. Well Snickers just messed with that 0.01%. Maybe it will scare a few women off from acting like that in the future. I' just saying I understand where Brad is coming from.
I love the idea of the entire episode devoted to each of them telling their side of the story. Even the bartenders, co-workers and anyone else who witnessed it, throw in the production staff as well. It would be riviting. I dont think 1 hour would do it justice, we are gonna need 2. As each person is telling their story they flash to slow motion clips that have like a grey filter, it would be so dramatic, I love it. I vote Pauly D's would be the best. He'd be grinning the entire time. And the quotes would be off the charts.
I am really upset, I was looking forward to rounding out my X-mas with a "fresh" episode. Bah-humbug
Sean's performance was in Jenks in Point Pleasant. That night was foggy but here is what I remember. I got lost in the club for about 30 minutes, yes I was this drunk. I also didnt remember seeing a band, but apparently there was one. We had to carry Sean to the car and prop him against a parking meter so he could take a piss. In the car you gave him your dad's raincoat and told him if he was gonna puke, do it in the jacket. Then there was all the Shenanigans at house.

Snookie Punch reply
I agree with a lot of what you got here. In fact I think you hit some things dead on. But when your wrong, I’ll tell you your wrong; and in one area you are officially wrong. It is not now, nor will it ever be referred to as “the punch.”
I think I caught note of it and mentioned that the phrase “snookie punch” was getting buzz as far back as the season opener. To further add to my argument I pulled up google search trends and “snookie punch” was number 5 overall the week of the episode. I agree that this will be the most talked about punch until Pacquiao dislocates Mayweathers’s shoulder in March. (Who am I kidding, even the Pac-man can not top a troll getting knocked out by a guido.)
Regardless, this punch has a first name and it should henceforth be referred to as- Snookie Punch.
With that discussion behind us, I will note that you did a great job of breaking down the scene which lead to Snookie Punch. This was definitely an off night and that typically can lead to a crowd of drunks and locals. It reminds me of going to one of those late in the season Giants games from the bad 2003-2004 seasons. It was cold and crappy. Everyone in the stadium was drinking too much and the only people who were there at the end of the game were Giant die hards and opposing fans. Fights kick-off real easy in situations like that. I picture a miserable rainy Tuesday night in a depressing boardwalk bar having a similar poweder keg like issue.
Another tip of the cap goes to you for bring up Sean’s rockstar performance down at the Surf Club. Yes, I stand corrected that with enough alcohol it is entirely feasible that a somewhat normal individual might steal drinks that are purchased by another person.
It did look like the guys friends will get a talking too by Ronnie and some of the fellas but my guess is that those lovely MTV editors will make us forget that there is likely a huge time lag between actual Snookie Punch and post-Snookie Punch confrontation. I have to imagine that the cops intervened, spoke to everyone, and tried to get some understanding of the story. All of that takes time. This is not to say that these guys still won’t be fired up, but I imagine that their rage comes back to normal levels as opposed to what might have occurred if there were no police involvement.
I’m just so curious to hear more from everyone about this. They could literally make a one hour episode where every cast member told the story from their perspective. First of all the drama of each person trying to interject their personal shock and opinion on the story would be high comedy; secondly the differences, gaps, and overlap in their stories would bring this event to life almost Zapruder film-like and put it in the proper historical perspective. (Yes, I am aware that I just compared Snookie Punch to the Kennedy Assassination.)
Until we get recaps and reaction in our next episode (which won’t be until 12/31); we can spend some discussing the fate of the Snookie Puncher. Poor Brad Ferro. He is/was a teacher in Queens and apparently apologized to Snookie. But my guess is that doesn’t get him his job back? Thoughts? Also are you aware that there is a video of him out there doing a little bit of cage fighting? Not good stuff.

The Punch
Ok so onto The Punch, which is what it will be called until there is a more famous punch in the news. Could be tomorrow could take years.
Ok so first....Here is my take on the situation.(not the character). They appear to be in a boardwalk bar that no one else is really in which leads me to believe that it is an off night like a Monday or Tuesday. This is where I would go on an off night. You don;t walk into Bamboo on a Tuesday, who knows, hey may not even be open on a Tuesday. Now if they are out on a Tuesday, my guess is they are just out to have a good time and a couple of drinks with co-workers (nice touch). So one is really in lets get wasted and puke our brains out mode. My other guess is that these other guys are down the shore for the week and are looking to get fucked up. Who knows, maybe its their 1st night down the shore for a long weekend or something. Pauly D also noted that they were all up in their business. They probably saw the cameras and figured they would hang near these guys and be on tv.
Second, What kind of guy does it take to steal someone's shots? Remember Sean on Memorial Day weekend of 2000? That guy. They also probably figured that since their were cameras around, these guys would not do anything serious to them. But stlll ballsy when you are outnumbered. And props to the co-worker who stood up to them to begin with.
Finally, the cops were on that in .04 seconds, which leads me to believe the following. MTV pays for a cop to shadow the cast. They stay real out of the way, maybe sometimes they are even in street clothes. It makes sense on MTV's part. WHo knows, maybe they have them on all the Real Worlds, and we just dont know it. They edit enough shit out that they could be there and we would never know it....kinda like Vinny on the this cast. They probably figured these guys would get into some beef at the jersey shore. It happens without the cameras. The guy who punched Snookie, I dont think he even got punched in retalliation by anyone. But it looks like his friends will get a scare in the next episode. He should have gotten pummeled.

He should have gotten pummeled.
Final pre-punch note
I honestly could go on forever about this show and still feel like I have more to say. Anyhow I promise this is my last non-punch related posting.
I can’t see how some of these characters don’t find their way into a spin-off. Not sure which direction they will take; but I’m pretty sure some of these folks will live on in pop culture for longer than this current MTV run. By the way I read that both Paulie D. and Jwoww said they would pose nude. One step closer to the sextape I predicted in one of our first posts.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of the parallel between Ronnie and the CJ incident. It really is very similar. On the same topic how much better is Jersey Shore than real world Cancun.
Anyhow yes the collateral damage to all of these women lured back to the house for some hot tubbing is something to take note of. That girl will be heckled and called “the grenade” for the months. It reminds me of RealWorld Brooklyn when the cast went out to a bar and the transgender he/she hooked up with some unsuspecting guy. Imagine being that guy’s friend. You get back to college after summer break and this jack ass is bragging up and down the line about how he hooked up with someone from the Real World cast and how he is gonna be on TV. Then sure enough the season starts and they introduce his hook up as a tranny, he freezes up. He tries to play it down and doesn’t mention which chick he hooked up with. Suddenly the episode hits the air and for the rest of his college career he is known as the guy who made out with the she-male on TV. Game over. Time to transfer schools and find a whole new group of friends.
I have to think that for a lot of these girls they are experiencing something similar. Prior to the first episode they bragged about how cool they were for hooking up with one of the Jersey Shore cast, yet as the show has picked up steam they are really wishing that they:
A.) didn’t hook up with these guys and
B.) didn’t hook up with these guys on camera, and
C.) didn’t tell anyone about the show
Just great stuff.
Anyhow final note before we switch to the punch. How about Snookie’s dancing? It really has to be noted how funny it is to watch an orange oompa lumpa do cartwheels in a thong in the middle of a club. Also, there has to be plenty of outtake of her falling on her head. I need those outtakes.
Alright Robbie. Kick us off on the Snookie Punch discussion. A few avenues of discussion for you to react to:
Prior to the punch, the offending group of guys were identified as troublemakers. My question is this- how much of a tornado do you have to be such that this collection of meatheads recognizes you as a problem.
On that same note. What kind of guts does it take to simply steal another person's shots at a bar. That is truly ballsy.
Final question. If the bouncers/cops weren’t right on top of the incident, how badly beaten do you think this guy would have gotten. I’m thinking Brock Lesner Frank Mir type of beating right. Or does this go as far as Ed Norton in fight club, “I wanted to destroy something beautiful.”
I can’t see how some of these characters don’t find their way into a spin-off. Not sure which direction they will take; but I’m pretty sure some of these folks will live on in pop culture for longer than this current MTV run. By the way I read that both Paulie D. and Jwoww said they would pose nude. One step closer to the sextape I predicted in one of our first posts.

Suddenly the episode hits the air and for the rest of his college career he is known as the guy who made out with the she-male on TV. Game over. Time to transfer schools and find a whole new group of friends.
I have to think that for a lot of these girls they are experiencing something similar. Prior to the first episode they bragged about how cool they were for hooking up with one of the Jersey Shore cast, yet as the show has picked up steam they are really wishing that they:
A.) didn’t hook up with these guys and
B.) didn’t hook up with these guys on camera, and
C.) didn’t tell anyone about the show
Just great stuff.
Anyhow final note before we switch to the punch. How about Snookie’s dancing? It really has to be noted how funny it is to watch an orange oompa lumpa do cartwheels in a thong in the middle of a club. Also, there has to be plenty of outtake of her falling on her head. I need those outtakes.
Alright Robbie. Kick us off on the Snookie Punch discussion. A few avenues of discussion for you to react to:
Prior to the punch, the offending group of guys were identified as troublemakers. My question is this- how much of a tornado do you have to be such that this collection of meatheads recognizes you as a problem.
On that same note. What kind of guts does it take to simply steal another person's shots at a bar. That is truly ballsy.
Final question. If the bouncers/cops weren’t right on top of the incident, how badly beaten do you think this guy would have gotten. I’m thinking Brock Lesner Frank Mir type of beating right. Or does this go as far as Ed Norton in fight club, “I wanted to destroy something beautiful.”
More before the punch
I think we could have serious spin off potential. the Pauly D Situation show. Cameras just follow them trying to meet/hook up with girls. I would watch it and you know you would too.
The whole Ronnie/towel situation reminded me of CJ on the RW Cancun when the "piglet" incident happened. Why not throw on some boxers or a pair of shorts. Which leads me to this question....Who lays on their bed with just a towel on? The only think missing from that scene was Ronnie yelling something to the effect of" I fuckin love you sooooooooo much"
Dance battling, that what she calls it. More like dry humping. come on. Also how about Pauly D eaves dropping on Jwoww's phone coversation, then pretending to be asleep......more comedy.
What we havent discussed about all these girls coming back to the house is the fact that a girl just watched this episode and now everyone will call her "The Grenade." How many people watched this episode 5 million? Not sure, but you know people who knew her were excited.

Episode three- Pre Snookie punch discussion
Just a great episode and a great set of quotes.
I really could watch Paulie D and the Situation hit on girls all day long. Two more great quotes to add to the pile…
“Chill out freckles McGee.” – The Situation when he got c*&k blocked by the chick who insisted on going home.
“Dancin to house music and battling on the floor”- JWoww when she was recapping the night to her boyfriend.
Alright before we hop into the punch, or really the absence of the punch I want to address a few other highlights…
First a big question-
Why was Ronnie naked for the beginning fight with Sammie?
Lets recap: Sammie comes home and Ronnie is lying on his bed with Jwoww in the next bed and Ronnie is naked except for a towel. Ronnie then follows Sammie all over the house having a half argument, half heart-to-heart, half emotional breakdown all the while clutching a towel. It just cracked me up that he never stopped to throw on some boxers…
It reminded me of the scene from Forgetting Sara Marshall where the guy is naked while getting dumped.
Second idea-
By the end of the show I’m guessing that Paulie and The situation will have hooked up/ hot tubbed with 40+ girls on camera. I want to know where these women are?
Mtv loves a reunion show, I think it would be phenomenally interesting if they could round up every single one of these women for a show. Who wouldn’t watch this? The combination of reactions would be utterly compelling. I’m sure some of the girls would be proud at their 5 minutes of fame, some would be clueless, some would be embarrassed, some would be repulsed, and some would be enraged at the way the guys talked about them to the camera. Putting all of these people in one room would be awesome.
Anyhow any other thoughts before we get into dissecting the Snookie punch?

The Pauly and Stiuation Show
I have decided to change it up this week and start off with quotes from this past episode. Maybe later we'll delve into some deeper thoughts.
Stiuation- "I'm hooking up with my girl, paulies hooking up with his girl...we're gonna have sex so you know its a situation"
Pauly- "I couldnt have sex with my gir, she had her period. no big deal"
"Yeah we smushed"-Ronnie referrinf to sex with sammy sweatheart
"Just stay fresh"- Pauly D referring to tanning and haircuts
"Cuz i;m at the gym for an hour and a half, just workin on my fitness"-the situation
"Mike(the situation) would bang a gatorade bottle if it had a pulse"-Ronnie
"We're beating up the beat (reffering to the fist pump)"--forgot who said it, Pauly D i think
"When I go out i have a game plan, I dont want to wast me time and take home a girl who just wants to hang out. I want to get to the business. So you light it up and then you move on. and at the end of the night you see what you end up with"- Pauly D
"They were nice but at the same time, i want to fool around"--Pauly D
"My girl was f-ing busted, i was just trying to keep her entertained"- Pauly D

Episode 2- response to initial comments
By Rob
This show is off the charts, its all I talk about. If MTV could show 2 episodes a week it would be a great winter.
I am pretty sure they made fun of Angelina for showing up with her stuff in trash bags. Someone had said it simply, "yo just get a suitcase". And now she leaves with those same trash bags. Funny, she was pretty trashy herself. Her boyfriend was in a marriage? The roommates were as unhappy to hear this as I was. They really didnt like her, any of them. Talk about awkward when she was leaving. She was a wet blanket.
Snookie- At face value is seems as if she is trying to be over-the-top. I'm pretty sure this is the real her, which is scary. She's like a remix of that annoying Tila Tequila. The dancing in the dirty bar on the boardwalk could have turned ugly if the cameras were not there. Did you see the look on some of the older guys faces? It was an episode of Law & Order SVU waiting to happen.
JWOW is really hot from about 15 feet away. think about it.....and you agree. And she has some mega tattoos on her side.
During the whole bar Sammy/Ronnie drama, did you happen to see The Situation hooking up with the chick Ronnie was dancing with. It was sloppy drunk making out. This is what bothers me about these reality shows. Couldnt they have show 3 seconds of them making out, so we know how much each cast member is getting? Same happened in RW Cancun. Bronnie said they didn't show half the hook-ups. Disappointing.
And what about Ronnie's dancing moves. Pretty smooth for a big dude.
I love Paulie D , I think I like him better than the Situation. He always has that goofy smile on his face and he is super cocky but not in a dick-head way. And he put charcoal in the gas grill. You cant script this stuff. That has to get the best unintentional comedic moment of the episode.

Episode 2- Initial post
by Mike
Two from-home-boyfriend breakups, one Jacuzzi lesbian hookup, the rise and fall of the Ronnie/Sammy romance, one cast member leaving the show, and countless one-liners from Paulie D. and “the situation.”
I don’t know what to say. Each of those incidents could have been its own episode on any of the recent Real World seasons, and yet they all fit into one episode of the Jersey Shore.
The potential for this show is off the charts. There is no ceiling.
I need to start keeping track of the awesomeness during episodes- in the meanwhile, I’ll start out conversation about Episode 2 with a few thoughts to ponder.
On a scale of 1 to Paulie D.’s hair how excited are you that Angelina left the show?
-Special bonus points for the fact that everyone in the house was also excited. Its one thing when the viewer thinks a cast member is a drag, it is great when it is confirmed by every other cast member.
-Double bonus points for the fact that she packed her stuff in trash bags for the trip home!
When all is said and done, where does Snookie end up after this? She isn’t articulate enough to have a show, she isn’t hot enough to pose nude, yet her general persona and the tornado that is her antics must have some market value.
-Walk me through your thoughts on her dance routine in the boardwalk bar?
Jwoww is single. After crying for a bit about losing her love, she declared she would give it 24 hours and then “do it up.” Is her ex-boyfriend upset or relieved?
The big debate. Paulie D. or The Situation. Each is awesome in their own right. Each one is compelling and someone whom I think should be studied for years to come.
Final thought. Have you been noticing the T-Short slogans in the background. They add such a layer of un-intentional comedy.

Re-re-direct epidose 1
by Mike
Danny… I think you mean Vinny… But the fact that you got his name wrong does lead me to believe I am right in listing him near the bottom in terms of interesting cast members.
Here is my personal ranking/ rationale:
1. Paulie D.- A fight, a hookup, the penile piercing, the Cadillac tattoo, the fact that he is 29 and has the maturity of a 13 year old… This sky is the limit for him.
2. The Situation- He nicknamed his abs and then got a girl he never met to have that nicknamed printed on the ass of some booty shorts. Read that sentence again.
3. Jwow- You keep drinking that water and eating that ham… Ham.
4. Ronnie- Zero chance he doesn’t go “incredible hulk” on someone. Also I’d love to know what is in his signature cocktail “Ron Ron Juice.” Aside from Vodka fruit and ice, I am banking that it is a proprietary blend of X, GHB, Testosterone, and elephant tranquilizer.
5. Sammie- Best looking girl in the house. Sort of becomes a backhanded compliment right?
6. Snookie- The Princess of Poughkeepsie. She is dumpy and depressing but at least she brings something to the table.
7. Vinnie- Blah. The most nondescript guy of the show. Sweaty armpits during the fist pump and pink eye is all he has going for him. Not a strong start.
8. Angelina- Flop. The only character that takes something off the table. She sucks fun out of the room and I am hoping they give her less air time. (Unless that airtime is Situation calling her fat.)
Anyhow along with your obvious promotional efforts this show is getting an amazing amount of buzz. Besides the tired and self promotional controversy over how it portrays Italian-Americans (an argument I am not in the mood to tear apart at the moment) there is a freakish amount of conversation about the show. From mainstream media to social media to water cooler conversation, this show has caught lightening in a bottle. Seriously Google “snookie punch” and check out the results…
As for potential cross over opportunities, I hope and pray these people are moved into the RW/RW challenge circuit. In fact can we just arrange for Ronnie and CT to have a steel cage match. Who wouldn’t be interested?
In the meantime check out your new Jersey Short nickname at this early responder site…

Episode 1- re-direct
-Rob
Ok things I for got and some follow up on your follow up.
I forgot to mention that this could be the most stereotyped show ever. Imagine making a show about stereotypical people in other cultures. Al Sharpton would be all over it.
Also, in Danny's intro he claims not to be a typical guido, but then show's the fist pump technique?
Jwow's boyfriend is this seasons GWRB's fro Cancun's boyfriend. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop. THe best is she was kissing Paulie D and left /c she didnt want to cheat on her boyfriend. Um where is kissing another girl not considered cheating?
How many times did you watch the previews where someone punched a girl in the face? 4 for me. Cant remember who it was but it was hysterical. Full punch, nothing held back.
I once at 3 midways in 1 day. and i'll do it again if you dont believe me. It was the trip to Giovannis where sean was doing the beer box interviews and Stacey Ward got all pissed(surprise)
This show is really creating a buzz. A lot of "did you see Jersey Shore" going around....well maybe mostly by me but I wanna talk about it more and more. You would think I am getting paid to pump this show up. Sadly I am not.
Easily everyone could be from Jersey. Just raid the Sayerville area. seriously
And I vote that they should let some of these people onto the next RW/RR challenge
The Situation telling off the girl who pulled the cock block was great too. He tells her to lose 10 pounds then come back.
