Jersey Shore: Season 2, Episode 4

by Luke Jackson · 1 comment

Ok, quick background check first: Ronnie is going to the club and messing around with random girls behind the back of his girlfriend, Sammi. Then he’s going back to the house and hopping in bed with Sammi at the end of the night. Everyone else but Sammi knows Ronnie is messing around. Background check over.

-There was big drama to begin the show. Sammi talked to Snooki and JWOWW about whether they knew if Ronnie was messing around behind her back or not. Both grudgingly did not admit to Sammi that Ronnie was messing around behind her back, although they really wanted to tell her (with them being good friends and all.) Apparently, they just didn’t feel like it was their place to tell Sammi about Ronnie and it was better for the problem to escalate to the point where all Hell breaks loose and for Ronnie to personally deal with the mess he created. Of course, if they had just told Sammi, they would have been telling their friend the truth and, in doing so, would mean that Sammi could rightly move on from her relationship with Ronnie. But they didn’t. This, my friends, is Jersey Shore Logic.

-The girls not telling Sammi about Ronnie this whole time couldn’t have had anything to do with the show trying to string along a storyline for all it’s worth, could it? Especially now that it’s the only thing currently brewing, with Angelina has making up with the entire house? No…it couldn’t be…

-Ronnie came back from the episode’s first club at 6 a.m. and Sammi started yelling at Ronnie, as she’s pretty mad that Ronnie went to the club that night without her. Sammi tells Ronnie that when she previously told him that he could go to the club, she was really using it as a test to see if Ronnie would stay home with her rather than go see random girls with the rest of the guys. Of course, as she says, Ronnie failed. Ronnie then defends himself against this “test” by saying the reason he’s not in college is that he fails all of his tests. Wait…Ronnie’s not college material? I’m stunned.

-Sammi “breaks up” with Ronnie at the episode’s second club one night. Ronnie then finds Sammi and the rest of the clowns at another club later in the night, where Ronnie is drunk out of his mind. (Who knew Sammi was a great enough girl to send someone into a drunken frenzy?) But of course, whenever Sammi “ends it,” it unfortunately never ends. While Ronnie was recovering from his drunkeness at the house, he and Sammi made up again. I’m so sick of this Sammi-Ronnie storyline.

-Why doesn’t Sammi just dump Ronnie and get it over with? She’s obviously not happy with him, and he’s driving her crazy. At this point, I’m feeling like the producers of the show were just telling her to stay with him for as long as conceivably possible to keep this storyline chugging along. Honestly, how could Sammi not know that Ronnie was messing around with girls at the clubs? I’m not sure that any human being with a brain — yes, even the Jersey Shore clowns – is dumb enough to think that Ronnie isn’t a cheater. 

-I really hope a brand new storyline pops up. This Ronnie-Sammi storyline has gotten so old. Please, something new. At the beginning of the second episode, I was worrying that the show would hold onto this storyline for way too long. Sure enough, they have. In fact, at one point towards the end of the episode, Sammi says something to the tune of, “I’m happier with Ronnie than without him.” Please, for the love of God, make this storyline go away.

-Remember when I mentioned that the girls’ decision to let the Ronnie-cheating-on-Sammi-behind-her-back situation fester to the point where all Hell breaks loose? Well, they’ve made another genius decision to resolve this situation for once. They planned to — hold your breath — write an anonymous letter detailing how Ronnie had cheated with her at the club at put it in Sammi’s dresser for her to find. Jersey Shore Logic once again! This is where next week’s episode picks up.

-”When I go home, I’m going to work at an ice cream shop – because that’s where I get all the girls.” -Vinny

Missed this episode. I will of course catch it during one of its gazillion replays.

If I were Sammi, I would lose it on Snooki and JWOWW next. The letter-writing is hysterical. I can imagine what it says: “Sammi – Ronnie is creepin on you. Xoxo Tanaholics Anon”
