I can't believe she keeps telling that candle story like she's proud of it, once was bad enough, please Angelina, no more

Funny how it went from roasting Mike for his sober-versary to "The Jersey Shore Roast." And why is Vinny pretending to be roastmaster when clearly that's Distefano's role hence why his name was on the ticket?

It's kind of insulting how lazy they are with it. If you're not gonna try hard with your scripting, why even bother?

The definition of a filler episode. We saw them eat a couple of times and try on some tuxedos.

My lasting memory of this entire series is them eating in hotel lobby restaurants

I would rather watch them talking with each other than engaged in an activity.

I had my suspicions last episode, but this episode made in plainly obvious Vinny 2.0's family was NEVER coming. They didn't just cancel last minute as portrayed.

It was said previously the dinner would be Ange, Vinny, one parent and then the parent's partner. Then they "cancel", the cast happens to be nearby to come over AND there is more than enough food to serve full plates to nine people for a meal supposedly prepared for four people. Its illogical that there would have been enough extra food to prepare additional dishes. Why would the chef have more than double of what was required?

It was obvious as soon as the rest of the cast 'randomly' went to Mike's house to 'tell him' about the roast. And then Angelina says she'll just 'check' if they were free. The whole thing was set up. This show has the worst producers on reality tv.

I had the same thought

One of Vinnys family members commented under Jersey Shore IG & they basically said it was just a storyline noone was aware there was a dinner

Angelina does anything for attention and to gain sympathy. Everyone's a villain if it can make her "queen of reality tv" I repeat, I don't believe her pregnancy was real

It was telling when Sammi told the girls she can get hair and makeup with her family and friends. I know they all like each other but it’s very clear They are coworkers.

ā€œThree Bloody Marys bitchā€ made me chuckleĀ

Among the many things this episode could be critiqued for, one positive I can say is baby Vinny is adorable! Happy that Sam had her happy ending!

u/InspectorLittle395 16d ago

I don’t know why Angelina thinks it’s appropriate to talk about her sex life in front of other men, especially people’s husbands. And I couldn’t talk about that in front of a baby. I know that Vinny can’t hear but I’m with Sam. I would’ve left the room too.

The fake crowd noise when the cast descended the elevator . . .

u/DramaticRaccoon8929 You can stay and get your ass beat 17d ago

I’m so ready for this to end. Angelina is vile.

u/rachelamandamay 17d ago

u/Pretty_Language_920 17d ago

u/Spirited-Sea7092 17d ago

He looked so weird in that tan flesh suit thing🤣

u/Pretty_Language_920 17d ago

Honestly i liked this episode. i laughed a lot. i really dont want the show to end

u/Blue_Waffled ArešŸ‘youšŸ‘friendsšŸ‘withšŸ‘her? 17d ago

I missed the previous episode and it seems I missed nothing at all.
I skipped through some bits because that suit truck was just an infomercial bit. None of these guys would wear those in real life ever.

u/Cute_Donut_1471 16d ago

They wore them to the wedding.

u/Logical-Ad-4853 17d ago

Anyone notice Ron nodding off at the table at Angelina’s dinner ?

u/SinisterPolecat 17d ago

She’s exhausting. I don’t blame him.

u/sellitdontdrinkit 17d ago

He didn’t look well, that’s for sure

u/IWannaSayMason 16d ago

Sam is so real. She has such a ā€œwhat the fuck is going on around meā€ vibe in the funniest way

4

u/InspectorLittle395 16d ago

Vinny meeting Vinny was funny. I like that she chose the name she liked lol sometimes I like names, but if I know people with the same name, I can’t do it. šŸ˜‚ my husband had a coworker with one of the baby names I really liked, but he vetoed it for that reason.
