The first official photo featuring Sammi Giancola’s return to the cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation has officially dropped, and it appears to foretell drama ahead. In the picture, Giancola is figuratively tangled up with her former roommates on the MTV reality show. However, while some dynamics between the former roommates have changed, others remain suspiciously the same.

In the spring of 2023, MTV announced that Sammi Giancola would return as a cast member of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. Furthermore, It has been 11 years since she last filmed with Nicole Polizzi, Jenni Farley, Deena Cortese, Vinny Guadagnino, Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio, Mike Sorrentino, and Angelina Pivarnick.

Over a decade ago, Giancola bid farewell to reality...

There was once a time when the “Jersey Shore” gang were known for their booze-fuelled antics, now they’re celebrating their kids’ birthday parties.

That’s the case with Pauly D, who was recently spotted brandishing an elaborate cake marking the 10th birthday of his daughter, Amabella.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation's Angelina Pivarnick is opting out of having bridesmaids in her second wedding. At the end of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 6, Angelina shockingly got engaged to her new boyfriend, Vinny Tortorella, better known as Vinny 2.0. Angelina had just introduced her new boyfriend to her Jersey Shore roommates the day before he got down on one knee in front of the cameras.

Angelina's first wedding to her now ex-husband, Chris Larangeria, was portrayed on the show during Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 3. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, and Deena Cortese were all bridesmaids at her wedding. In a typical bridesmaid manner, the three ladies gave a speech at the extravagant wedding reception. Unfortunately, what they thought would be funny took a turn for the worse. The infamous Jersey Shore bridesmaid speech ultimately resulted in an entire season's worth of drama between them.

Many reality TV shows are known for drama, such as 90 Day Fiancé, but viewers have not always been prepared for what has aired in the reunion specials. Reunions are popular conclusions to many seasons of reality TV shows, as they provide cast members with a chance to reflect on their past season of filming, which likely occurred about a year before the reunions took place. However, numerous reality TV reunions have become infamous for various reasons.

Two main categories of reality TV reunions are seen as inadequate. Some reunions are boring, as they fail to answer questions that viewers wanted to have addressed. This often leads to fans expressing their frustration as they were hoping to witness closure or have cast members held accountable for their actions. On the other hand, some reality TV reunions air too much drama. Several of them have aired physical violence that has sometimes...

Get ready, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans, because tonight’s finale recap is going deep into many of the lingering issues between its cast members. One of the longest-running issues throughout the first half of season 6 was tensions with Angelina Pivarnick and Mike Sorrentino. He claims it was “miscommunication” between himself and Pivarnick that laid at the heart of their Twitter beef.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation‘s Mike Sorrentino and Angelina Pivarnick continued to butt heads this season. Their most recent conflict came after a series of tweets the duo posted that went a bit too far on both sides.

During the first half of season 6’s finale, Sorrentino explained his side of the events. Of course, Pivarnick also had her say.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has no time for haters. The mom of three has been in the spotlight for over 10 years. During the last season of the original series, Nicole was pregnant with her first child. Since then, she’s gotten married and had two more children with her husband Jionni Lavalle.

Being one of the original Jersey Shore breakout stars, Nicole has gotten her fair share of hate over the years. In a recent TikTok video, Nicole once again shut down the online trolls for claiming she’s a bad mom.

When reading social media comments, Nicole constantly finds insults attacking her character, not only calling her a bad mom but also dumb. She was quick to defend herself repeatedly reiterating, “I’m just a good mom.” In the video, Nicole explained that what fans see throughout...

Since Jersey Shore first premiered, the cast has found themselves in the middle of a lot of drama. Unfortunately, some of the drama has even involved the law. Four of the original roommates have once found themselves behind bars for numerous reasons, most of them happening on the show.

Jersey Shore first aired in 2009 when a group of mostly 20-something-year-old strangers moved into a shore house together. The now-famous roommates spent the entire summer partying non-stop. As the show became more and more popular, the roommates continued to do what they did best, party. With all the drinking and partying came drama, some of which unfortunately involved the police. Now, as the cast has reunited for the spinoff series, they have matured out of these reckless ways, for the most part, that is.

One of the most iconic moments of the original show was when Jersey Shore...

The Floribama Shore cast has seen a lot of messiness over the past four seasons of content, and the Jersey Shore successor was canceled before a fifth season was renewed. The Floribama Shore season 4 finale aired in December 2021, and it's apparent that while some cast members have grown, not everyone in the cast is in the best place. Nonetheless, some cast members found healthy relationships, while some are still looking for love.

On the heels of Jersey Shore's success and ahead of the 2018 reboot of the show through Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Floribama Shore first aired in 2017 to feature a new location of hard-partying singles. The MTV reality show first occurred in the Florida panhandle and featured a cast of eight. Floribama Shore has since updated its location to Florida, Montana, and Arizona as the remaining cast experienced fights, parties, breakups, makeups, and significant life events together.

Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola made her dramatic debut to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in a just-released mid-season trailer. Sammi was one of the original Jersey Shore roommates. Despite being on the original series, she opted out of returning for the Family Vacation spin-off in 2018. Her decision was made in an effort to avoid her toxic ex-boyfriend and co-star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro. Now that Ronnie has stepped away from filming, Sammi is finally making her spin-off series debut.

Two months after Sammi announced her Jersey Shore return, the first look at her debut has been released. Sammi shared the first Jersey Shore: Family Vacation mid-season 6 trailer on her Instagram after it aired following the mid-season finale.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha “Sammi Sweetheart" (@sammisweetheart)

The short teaser showed Sammi's shocked yet dramatic reunion with the roommates. After the initial shock of Sammi's return settled down among everyone, the drama began to fire up.

"I'm still the sweetest b--ch you'll ever meet."

Are you shocked, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans?

MTV went public with the trailer for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 7 at the end of Thursday's season finale.

As previously reported, Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola is back, and if the trailer is any indication, she's ready to settle the score with her old roomies.

The teaser picks up in the aftermath of the events of the explosive season finale, which finds Angelina still at odds with the females in the house.

Angelina and Sammi have a lot in common. During their initial stints on the series, they were both on the periphery of the core girl squad in the house.

It makes sense then that Sammi makes her grand return alongside Angelina.

The best part? Angelina didn't tell the other housemates that Sammi was returning, which should cause even more good TV.

Mike Sorrentino is best known for his time as “The Situation” on the infamous show Jersey Shore and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. These days, he lives a much quieter life with his beautiful wife, Lauren, and their young children.

Mike hasn’t had the easiest life, and he and Lauren didn’t have the easiest time making their relationship last at first. While they were separated for years, they always cared about each other — and their break-up definitely taught them a few tips for dealing with heartbreak.

Sammi “Sweetheart" Giancola is making her debut on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, but it's not the best idea for her to film with her ex, Ronnie Ortiz Magro. When the spinoff was first announced in 2018, all of the original roommates were set to be in the spinoff series except for Sammi. At the time, she had opted out of the opportunity to reunite with her former roommates in an effort to avoid her toxic ex-boyfriend and costar Ronnie. While he did in fact return for the new show, Ronnie hasn't filmed with the cast in nearly two years.

In 2021, Ronnie was arrested for a domestic violence incident involving his then-girlfriend Saffire Matos. Following the arrest, Ronnie made the decision to step away from filming for the show in an effort to focus on his own mental health. In the last two years, Ronnie has made just two brief cameo appearances on the show,...

Some Hamptons residents described Bravo‘s hit reality TV show Summer House as “trashy” and not keeping with the area’s upper-class image. The show has been the subject of much controversy since it first premiered in 2017. Some locals are up in arms about the disruption caused by filming crews and the negative impact on the community’s reputation.

Hamptons residents have voiced their concerns about the impact of Summer House on the area’s image. The show follows a group of young professionals as they spend their summers in the Hamptons. It has been criticized for promoting a party-heavy lifestyle. This is notably at odds with the area’s more conservative reputation.

According to Page Six, some residents have complained about the noise and disruption caused by filming crews.

The hit reality TV show Summer House has been a fan favorite since it premiered on Bravo in 2017. The series follows a group of friends as they spend their summer weekends in a luxurious Hamptons mansion.

The multi-million dollar home has become an iconic location for the show. But does Bravo own it?

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation just hit its fifth-anniversary milestone of being on air; however, it may be time for the show to end. This is quite impressive for any reality show, let alone a spinoff series. Unfortunately, despite the show's continued success, it may be time for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation to come to an end for good.

When the original series first aired in 2009, Jersey Shore became a pop culture phenomenon instantly. The show was the first of its kind in the sense that the cast members were filmed 24/7 for days on end. No other show watched a group of strangers party and live as recklessly as the Jersey Shore cast did. So when the original roommates agreed to return for the spinoff series, there was a lot of excitement about seeing the cast return. Unfortunately, five years later, the spinoff show is not what it used to be.

Sammi Giancola’s reunion with her fellow Jersey Shore castmates has been a long time coming. However, even though the core cast continued to film for five years without her, Sammi’s presence signals a return to the show’s roots. But with familiarity comes potential conflicts. Here are three things that would make Sammi Giancola lose her cool with her former roommates.

Sammi Giancola’s troubled relationship with Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was one of the core storylines which dominated the original run of Jersey Shore. From 2009-2012, Giancola and Magro’s on-again, off-again love affair appeared to affect all the original castmates.

These castmates included Nicole Polizzi, Jenni Farley, Deena Cortese, Angelina Pivarnick, Vinny Guadagnino, Paul DelVecchio, and Mike Sorrentino. The housemates were generally brought into the drama...

Mike and Lauren dated for years after meeting in a community college math class, but broke up shortly before he joined the cast of Jersey Shore. After the reality show ended, Mike went back to his hometown, where he ran into Lauren, and the rest is history.

Deena Cortese joined the cast of MTV’s Jersey Shore for season 3 in 2011 after Angelina Pivarnick got the boot. And while some reality stars find watching themselves on TV cringy, Deena found that it made her a stronger person.

Deena Cortese shared how ‘Jersey Shore’ impacted her

It’s hard to believe that Deena suffered from low self-confidence when she first appeared on Jersey Shore, but that’s what the reality star recently shared. During an interview on the podcast Behind The Rope with David Yontef, she reflected on the show’s earlier seasons.

“I feel like it really made me who I am today. Like, back then … I feel like I wasn’t a very strong person … I wasn’t very confident. I came off like I was, but I feel like deep down I wasn’t … Now I’m still a good time, but I feel like I came into my own,...

"Community" was one of those shows that seemed to have a thousand in-jokes. When you watched it, you felt like part of a select group. That was partially because it was so twisty and deliciously odd that there was really no good way to describe it accurately. It's about a group of people who end up in the same study group at Greendale Community College, sure, but it's also full of improv, a monkey named Annie's Boobs, wild character twists, Ken Jeong living in a heating vent, and Betty White (Rip) rapping with Donald Glover and Danny Pudi.

Look, the show is weird and absolutely wonderful (I say from the middle of my fifth rewatch). That said, while you felt like one of the cool kids because you knew what the "gas leak year" was, a lot of people just didn't get it while it was on the air. The...

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife Lauren have been through plenty of ups and downs throughout their years together, which means they know exactly how to handle the tough stuff, including disagreements.

Mike and Lauren Sorrentino were college sweethearts who reconnected after ‘Jersey Shore’ came to an end

Mike and Lauren met in 2005 while both attending community college. They were together for a few years, but broke up when Mike entered rehab for the first time. He has been very open about his struggles with addiction to prescription painkillers and has been sober for seven years now. Once he got out, the couple thought about getting back together, but decided against it. Shortly after, “The Situation” joined the cast of Jersey Shore.

After the reality show ended, Mike went back home, where he ran into Lauren at a local gym.

Brittani Schwartz, better known as B-Lashes, revealed the surprisingly low amount she, along with the other cast members, were paid for being on Double Shot At Love. B-Lashes set out to find love on Double Shot at Love season 1 in 2019. Despite not having a romantic connection with either Pauly D or Vinny Guadagnino, B-Lashes formed many close friendships while on the show. She later returned for season 2 in 2020.

Double Shot At Love focused on finding the perfect matches for best friend duo Pauly and Vinny. Throughout the first season, both Pauly and Vinny found themselves having connections with some of the women. Despite them both leaving the season still single, Pauly ultimately found his new girlfriend on the show. Pauly and Nikki Hall began dating after filming for Double Shot At Love season 2 ended. Vinny, on the other hand, remains single.

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast recently celebrated the five-year anniversary of the hit spinoff series being on air, and they've had some of the best and most dramatic moments.

To no surprise, the spinoff series became an instant hit, as viewers seemed excited to see their favorite group of roommates back together again.

Although Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is different from the original series, all of the cast members still have the same, fun personalities as they did years ago.

Jersey Shore fans are holding their breath. After happy news that Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola would be rejoining the cast after a long hiatus, she was spotted in the same place as Ronnie Ortiz-Magro. The duo had a famously toxic relationship during their shared tenure on Jersey Shore. In fact, it was rumored that Giancola initially opted not to return to Jersey Shore: Family Reunion specifically because of Ortiz-Magro.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation fans are not happy about Ronnie Ortiz Margo’s upcoming return to the show. Ronnie was one of the original roommates to return for the spin-off series in 2018. Best known for his toxic on-again-off-again relationship with co-star Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, most of Ronnie’s screen time throughout the Jersey Shore spin-off series has included drama within his more recent relationships, including his baby mama Jen Harley.

Over the years, Ronnie has found himself in trouble with the law on numerous occasions. In 2021, Ronnie stepped away from filming for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation after he was arrested for a domestic violence incident. The incident involved his now ex-fiancé Saffire Mattos. Since taking time away from the show to focus on himself, Ronnie has only made two brief cameo appearances, neither of which were with the entire cast.

Cringing is part of watching reality TV. There are several moments from the original Jersey Shore that still make fans cringe to this day. Let’s walk down memory lane and relive six of the most cringe-worthy moments from the original series.

When Brad Ferro punched Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi in the face in season 1, the world stopped momentarily. Not only was the hit a shock to the Jersey Shore cast, who up until that point weren’t so sure about Nicole as a roommate — the violence 495 Production cameras caught on tape became a moment that changed the course of reality TV.

“Snooki” was punched at the Beachcomber Bar and Grill on the Seaside Heights, New Jersey boardwalk. Ferro mistook the shots Nicole’s friend bought for his own, so she confronted him.

The cast has been spending a lot of time together lately as they film for the second half of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation season 6. The group of original roommates reunited in 2018, six years after the original series came to an end, to film for the spinoff series. Although it was questionable at the time how successful the spinoff show would be after being off-air for so many years, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation has been a hit among fans for five years.

While the spinoff show is quite different than Jersey Shore, it can be argued that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is better than the original. Before, the cast would be filmed nearly 24/7 as they partied around the clock. Although this was always fun to watch, a lot has changed since the original show ended. When the cast returned for the spinoff series, many were either married or in serious relationships...
