Jersey Shore Family Vacation Recap: Single Ronnie Rides Again

Nosotros option up with Angelina and Vinny where we left them final week. Their sexual tension has boiled off and now the pot is scorched. So let'south do what any responsible person would do: requite up, leave information technology be, and endeavor to pretend for as long equally possible that yous don't find the mess. Out on the deck, Nicole runs away from a mosquito. "Don't touch me," she screams. "Yous're going to sting me and so I'grand going to itch for years." This is better than any manner I could call back of to sum up Vinny's feelings towards Angelina.

Fortunately, we can cleanse our spirits with the soothing and grounding ritual that is the enormous burger challenge at Headliner. Mike, alternately Pauly and Vinny'southward "thoroughbred" and "fat Rocky," has been training his whole life for this moment. Raging Beef will accept 10 minutes to polish off what looks similar 10 patties, one-half a dozen strips of bacon, and 4 or five onion rings toothpicked on top, plus chips. It'south never been done.

And still, once the countdown begins, Mike refuses to prefer the hyper-efficient, buns-dunking mania of an actual competitive eater. He can't help savoring the monster dish, hailing it as "perfectly cooked" and "a x." The fact that he finishes more than half of the burger in a leisurely fashion, never not enjoying himself, is somehow more than impressive than if he'd consumed information technology all within the time limit.

Oddly enough, it is Nicole, not Mike, who ends upwardly barfing. This would be an unremarkable behavior for a human existence who has been continually consuming alcohol for 96 hours except for the fact that Nicole never, e'er pukes—and she and Jionni accept been trying for another baby… While the others head for the lodge, Jenni takes Nicole to a chemist's shop for a pregnancy test. She is not pregnant, to her disappointment, which almost certainly would have not been the example during a hypothetical pregnancy scare on an early flavour of the original Jersey Shore. How far we've come up!

Hanging with the group at Headliner (yes, we're back) is Angelina's friend Lindsay, who prefers to be known every bit Jewish Barbie. Ron spends much of the evening staring angrily at his phone. Jen has been sending him photos of Sammi with her new boyfriend, saying that this is how happy she, as well, will be once she finds a new guy to raise their daughter. The CIA should hire Jen as a consultant to kicking around some new enhanced interrogation techniques. "This is my friend Single Ronnie," Pauly tells Lindsay. "Just kidding! I mean, I don't know."

Pauly and Vinny have been competing all night for JB'south angel, but when she joins the group in heading back to the house, a dark horse emerges. Ronnie climbs into the girls' cab, an act of sexual espionage. He wastes no fourth dimension in deploying his trademark ambitious, irresistible brand of flirting.

RON: "You want swimming?"

LINDSAY: "What?"

RON: "Become swimming?"

LINDSAY: "Is information technology heated?"

RON: "Aye, it is. All correct, and so yous become swimming?"

RON: "Maybe."

LINDSAY: "All correct. Allow's do information technology."

Nicole texts the boys a photo of Ron and JB sitting together. Her explanation: "Another French fry."

In a confessional, Ronnie says he knows anybody thinks he'due south nigh to reheat those fries. "I'm not spiraling like that, notwithstanding," he protests. But in the kitchen, Ronnie takes a swig of liquor, so a swig of cherry juice. Who even drinks red juice? Non people who are non spiraling, I'll tell you that much.

Angelina asks JB who she thinks the cutest of "the three" is, and when she demurs, prompts her to play "eff, marry, go rid of.." Get rid of? Mike. (Mike was non part of "the three" and y'all know information technology, woman.) Marry? Pauly. Fuck? Let's just say his name rhymes with Yanni. Hearing this, Nicole buries her face in her blanket. It's over.

Ron mutters to himself, "I think I should go to bed," then begins panting. He does not become to bed. At the sight of JB in her bikini, he rolls face up-downward on the flooring, every bit if mourning the bad decisions he knows he's about to make. Nicole asks who's getting in the hot tub. "I'll become," Ron answers immediately, and so tacks on a half-hearted "I approximate." It'southward one affair to make a terrible determination and then repeat it. It'south another matter to brand a terrible decision, have that decision air on national goggle box, and so still repeat it.

Peering through a window, Vinny offers Richard Attenborough-inflected color commentary as Ron and JB dip their legs into the puddle. It's only now that I find the house's very sparkly pool toys are in the shape of an extremely phallic log and extremely yonic ring.

"And so yous're yet not unmarried yet," opens Jewish Barbie, only Ron's merely response is lighting a cigarette. Past now Vinny, Pauly, Mike, and Nicole are all standing at the windows, mystified, horrified, and utterly transfixed by this psychosexual car wreck.

Ron removes his shirt. They move from the pool to the jacuzzi. Oh god, oh no. As Vinny explains, "The jacuzzi is, like, ratchet time." That's where Ron's hand first became acquainted with the original French fry's donkey. JB removes her robe. "She's inching in, she's inching in—she'due south in! She'southward in the hottub," Vinny exclaims, with gooooooooooal enthusiasm. For now, at to the lowest degree, they remain a respectful five feet away from each other.

Inside, Jenni gets a text from Jen: She tin can't get a concur of Ron. A hush falls over the peanut gallery. In a confessional, Jenni and Nicole pronounce their a friend a bully guy, but a "bag of fucking dicks" as a boyfriend.

Jewish Barbie compliments one of Ronnie's tattoos, then all of them. Now they're only about iii feet abroad from one another. Watching from the window is no longer enough, then the roomies take it upon themselves to upgrade their seats, itch out onto the balustrade. Mike has even made popcorn for the occasion.

They get out of the jacuzzi, but the night is young. Jewish Barbie asks to borrow a shirt. Ron tells her she tin can sleep in his bed. She scoots under the blanket.

"And at that place goes my life," he says in the night.
