It is the Season 2 finale of Jersey Shore! Better late than never to explore your surroundings, the cast starts with an everglades airboat tour. Quite a terrifying experience for our east coast crew that was not prepared for the gators, bugs, or the frog legs that left some members sick... Vinny and Pauly were left just feeling love sick as Vinny continues to wait on Ramona who is always late and Pauly doesn’t smoosh a girl he loves. Not all relationships are feeling the love and we are left with one final Ron & Sam fight, but no one knows about what this time. If you're not in a relationship, how can you turn down a 3-some?! Well Mike didn't turn down any opportunity and got a special surprise in the bathroom from some down girls... Sausage wasn't the only food focused on and Snooki decides to cook for the house with a little sprinkle of the not so sweetest bitch you've ever met. The spice was spicy and an awkward dinner unravels over who does the least in the house and then a game of most likely to. A head nod misinterpreted escalated into a house fight but all is good and the cast shares breakfast before their final goodbyes.... well not everyone is saying goodbye.

Welcome to this week's recap of episodes 11 & 12 of Jersey Shore. Angelina is gone and it is time to remove the bad juju no matter what your security deposit says. Snooki wanted a new roommate Charlie but his claws just didn't make it. The house wasn't empty for long and a fan favorite is returning, Ryder! She almost missed her flight which maybe she should have so she wouldn't have to deal with Mike? No worries though, because no man could ever stop a Jersey girl from making drinks with marinara sauce... except maybe Ronnie... Sam will always pass on girl time for him. Ryder brought her Picasso skills and perfectly captured the image of the shore crew but missed their shady behavior like stealing roommate's girls and getting kicked out of clubs, but don't worry the dots were connected on who has hooked up with who. Hookups are in the past and Vinny's heart has been healed after hours of waiting for his girl and he became a step-dad to her Yorki’s who almost drowned in the ocean. Beach dates are great but checkers is never a way to get your date in the mood. Snooki's fantasy is unlocked when the Fire department needs to come rescue the Jersey Shore. The firefighters couldn't put out the fire between Sam and Ron when Ron brings up a similar attraction he sees in Sam compared to his ex.... That's not the only fire in this episode as Lance shares a fun fact and a new conspiracy is unlocked by your hosts about the note and the producer's impact... oh yes friends, grab your wine and get ready to recap reality!

Jersey Shore Episodes 9 & 10. These episodes are full of... well... interesting relationship stories for the Jersey Shore crew. Vinny got stood up, Jose never got laid, Ronnie stole flowers for Sam, Tom found a phone number of Jeni's, and Mike brought home a screamer from Canada. If you're looking for love, follow Snooki’s checklist for an ideal man and make sure he is able to frolic or be a third in a relationship and play with the other two's feet during sex. Now if you're already in a relationship and mad at your partner, we learned that the best revenge is to make them eat your boogers. After that, get your ass up and drag your roommates out of bed for nail appointments because It’s T-SHIRT TIIIIIME. Not all the roommates were getting mani pedis with their girls and Angelina was so upset after being homesick, her clothes not fitting, and always taking Snooki’s sloppy seconds, that she decided to get a little dirty... Wait til you hear the dirty surprise she left in the bathroom and the bed she slept in instead of her own... AH YEA WAKEUP YEA. After this it was time to go and Angelina calls out everyone in the house and ends with funniest cat fight in history. Grab your sexy workout headbands, they're all the rage, and get ready to Recap Reality with Lance and Shannon!
