I've missed watching Battle of the Seasons these past two weeks (read up on the last episode here)! To start this week's episode, San Diego decides to work out together and give some positive and negative things about each other, all to try to strengthen their bond. Later, T.J. sends a clue to the house for the next day saying, "Don't abandon your teammates if you want to win this challenge."

The next day, the teams play "Abandon Ship." Each team has a line connected to an anchor with buoys at different heights underneath the water. One person jumps off the boat at a time to get a buoy, with everyone having to grab one of his own. When the last buoy is recovered, a lifeboat will appear. The team will then have to row that lifeboat to the finish line on the shore. The team with the fastest time is Power Team and the slowest will head to the Arena.


While Brooklyn and San Diego and even Cancun with only two team members kill it, St. Thomas struggles! Trishelle messes it for Team Vegas as well. She panics and Alton has to go get her buoy, adding a five minute penalty to their time. Of course, they give her mad crap about it, since they end up being one of the last teams to make it to shore. San Diego surprisingly kills the challenge and they all communicate well, winning Power Team! St. Thomas ends up being the last place team, earning themselves a spot in the Arena.

Back at the house, Dustin and Trishelle still go at it about the loss. Honestly, Trishelle should've stepped it up. She didn't even have the farther to go to get her buoy in the first place! Dustin tells her that if they are thrown in (which in all likelihood, they will be) she will be going into the Arena regardless for costing them the win, which she doesn't react well to. At deliberation later, San Diego decides to send in Vegas "based on performance," but we ALL know San Diego doesn't like them. They pick both Vegas and St. Thomas to play an Endurance game in the Arena.

That night, people drink and enjoy themselves. However, Nany randomly goes off on Derek about not being a good friend to her, and Frank gets into it, yelling at Nany in her face. Marie decides to get in it to break up the fight. Robb pushes Derek away from Marie and Derek pushes him to the ground, which causes Marie to push Derek and Sam gets knocked down in the process! This whole fight was a MESS! Everybody was drunk and needed to go to bed, if you ask me! Later, Frank, Nany and Trishelle go to the cabana to try to talk things out which lasts for a total of 20 seconds! Frank ends up going off on her and then starts talking about her sister being a heroin addict, and gets Dustin into it when he talks about his gay porn video. As Frank continues to yell from the balcony at the both of them, Dustin and Nany make fun of him. Frank jumps in Dustin's face, and Dustin pushes his face. Zach calms him down and reminds him about the final. Alton is annoyed with the craziness of this entire season, and I don't blame them. MTV advertised this as the biggest fight in Challenge history. I don't know about all of that, but I definitely know it was the dumbest fight!

At the Arena, Vegas and St. Thomas go head to head in "Balls Out."  Nany decides to step up to compete with Alton, when Trishelle refuses to go. Dustin yells at Trishelle because she definitely copped out. The game is best two out of three. With Robb's long arms, the first round goes to St. Thomas easily, while he second round goes to Vegas by one. It all came down to the final round which was extremely close, but it ended up going to St. Thomas, sending Nany and Alton home! It will leave Dustin to deal with Trishelle unfortunately. Dustin, of course, throws shade at her for not going in the Arena in the first place! Back at the house, Dustin decides that he is going home too, refusing to work with her. God only knows how this is going to end! Guess we'll see next week!

Check out a new episode of Battle of the Seasons next Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET only on MTV!

Another Jerzday, another recap! Picking up from last week, Snooki talks to Jionni, who is into his softball playing, and doesn't really spend a lot of time with Snooki. How your FIANCEE is carrying your CHILD and you don't make time to see her is beyond me! Later, the housemates go to dinner at Jimbos, while Snooki and Deena go out to dinner for their own little meatball date. They talk about how Snooki is never out with them, but then also how Jionni is never around to see her and make sure that she's all right.



Later everyone minus Snooki parties at Karma. Paula is there after her breakup with Mike a few weeks back. Though she looks great, Mike can't get her raunchy ways out of his mind. When she talks to Sammi and Jenni, she seems really heartbroken by the breakup, while Mike goes on about his business! He's grinding all over girls, and Paula's just watching on the sidelines. She later comes over to say bye, right when Mike is about to seal the deal to take a girl home! Unfortunately, the entire MVP gang strikes out for the night, and they all head home to sleep.

The next day, Jionni and Snooki plan to go baby shopping, though Sam and Deena JUST got her a bunch of stuff from the baby store! When Jionni gets here, Sam quietly tells him that he should just take her to dinner. Snooki's feelings are hurt that no one wants to go baby shopping with her, as she hasn't gotten much for the baby. Before the couple heads out to eat, Snooki realizes she has to get an address from the girls, right when they are all showing Jenni the presents. They were able to hide them just in time, due to hearing Snooki's heels! At dinner, Snooki is a little gloomy at dinner, since she really wanted to go baby shopping. However, it's all good when she and Jionni go home and smush!

Later, Jenni tells Vinny that he had better be at the baby shower! However, he's weird about it because he feels that Jionni wouldn't want her there. That night, the house goes to a new club Merge, where Jenni rips her pants while she was dropping it in a dance battle! However, all of a sudden the entire mood changes when they see Angelina (for those who don't know, an original cast member from seasons 1-2 of the show!) NONE of them like her, so it's weird! She surprisingly wants to apologize to everybody, but nobody's trying to hear it! She's just keeps hanging around the guys trying to force this apology. Very, very awkward! When the guys strike out again in getting girls to bring back to the house, Pauly and Mike go to get steaks. Vinny decides to walk home alone, and meets some hot girls, deciding that it's cool to break his celibacy for a threesome literally from the street! When he gets back, he realizes that Jenni and Roger are in the smush rooom, so he brings the girls to his room. Since Mike and Pauly are both there, it ends up being very awkward for them all. One girl drops out, and the other doesn't do much for Vinny, so technically his celibacy isn't broken!

The next morning, the girls get up to decorate Rivoli's for Snooki's surprise baby shower. They are all hungover feeling terrible, and struggle to finish, but the room ends up looking great. Back at the house, the roommates plan to tell Snooki that they are going to Rivoli's for Sunday dinner so that the surprise isn't ruined. Vinny doesn't really want to go, but he plans to apologize to Jionni for Snooki. Jenni goes to Rivoli's with Roger to double check everything and meet with Snooki's friends and all. The rest of the house drives Snooki down there and she's so surprised and emotional! It gets awkward quick though, with Jionni being around Vinny and Mike, both of whom hooked up with Snooki (well Mike did allegedly...either way, it's awkward). The episode ends with Vinny going to talk to Jionni outside! I can't wait to see how this turns out!

There are literally only THREE episodes of Jersey Shore ever! Check out a new episode next Thursday at 10 p.m. ET!

Since the start of The Spotlight, I've been able to connect with a lot of talented upcoming artists for features and mixtape releases. It's been an incredible addition to the blog (email me for a feature of your own!).

Rapper 8More released his mixtape only hours ago. Endustry 8 was created based off of this upcoming rapper's serious drive and chase for success. The hunger is blatant in this mixtape, as 8More strives to make a name for himselve in this industry. "The people like my family, friends and even my haters gave me even more inspiration than I could of imagined," he also said.

Read more and listen to the mixtape below!



Endustry 8 gives features from underground artists Freck Billionaire, Ruga Dre Butcher, Sean Christian, and more! While the project has instrumentals, 8More produced 75% of the beats accompanying the mixtape.

The overall message of the project is "life" according to 8More. "It's a fun project about how most people think this industry is worth chasing but it's really not unless you're following your dreams and not the fame!" the rapper said. The track that he really thinks everyone should check out? "Track 15, 'We Up In Dis.' It's very electrifying and spry...[a] club mover!" he said.

Even though the mixtape just dropped, 8More is making plans for his newest project World's Favorite Number Megawatts 1.8 to be released in March of next year. He also has three new music videos coming out in December and January.

Endustry 8 is available online at various websites include DatPiff.com, LiveMixtapes.com, and HipHopReleases.com. Check it out and download it below!

It's official. Kevin Clash, the voice and puppeteer behind Sesame Street’s beloved Elmo (my favorite character of all time), has resigned from his position following the aftermath of the allegations that he had an underage sexual relationship some years ago.

Read up below!








Sesame Workshop released the following statement:

"Sesame Workshop’s mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street."

The sexual accusations were made public only last Monday, but then later recanted by his 24-year-old accuser. The episode led to Mr. Clash coming out as a gay man, something he had not previously discussed in public. “I have never been ashamed of this or tried to hide it, but felt it was a personal and private matter,” he said in the statement last week.

Apparently, production of the show will not be affected by the resignation. In fact, during his leave of absence, Kevin himself had been helping look for other puppeteers that could play Elmo and some filled in for him while he was away.

It's a sad day for Sesame Street indeed! I understand that with Kevin still on the show, parents might find it controversial. So from that side, I get why he resigned. But still! This man has been playing Elmo longer than most of the people reading this blog have been alive (since 1974!) It's just sad that he is leaving with his name disgraced like this for no reason, when somebody takes back their story like that! I wish him well with his future endeavors, though he could probably just retire from those checks Elmo has been raking in over the years!

How do you feel about Kevin Clash resigning from the show?

Another Jerzday gone, another Jersey Shore recap! First and foremost, I want to encourage the fans of the show to make donations to the Restore The Shore effort, a goal to rebuild Seaside Heights and the surrounding areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. The cast of Jersey Shore and several other cast members of other MTV shows are working diligently to bring light to this disaster and to help families rebuild their homes, businesses, and lives. Support if you can!

Picking up from last week, Snooki, Ronnie and Deena go to work. Danny and Ronnie go play games while the Meatballs who wanted to take a break themselves. Suddenly a huge storm hits, which freaks Deena out but it eventually calms down. My first thought was that they shouldn't have included that scene due to the hurricane, especially since it didn't add or take away from that part of the show, but whatever. Back at the house, Mike calls his sister Melissa and talks about his issues with Paula. Mike wants a classy girl and gets advice from Melissa to voice his problems to Paula. He liked her for who she was, and now, after three summers, Paula's done a complete 180 on him!


Mike tells Vinny and Pauly how he feels and they admit that Paula has changed. Pauly never did see them being together that long anyway. Now Mike has to figure out how to break up with her, though he still wants to be romantically connected (aka he wants to smush!). On the boardwalk, Vinny and Pauly are already telling people that Mike is single with plans to break up with Paula, which scares Mike because Seaside is small and there's the possibility of it getting back to her.

The next day, the house heads to the beach. Mike and Deena talk about breaking up with Paula. It might be best for both of them. Mike honestly doesn't seem ready to settle down anyway, though he's 30! Time for him to get his life together! Later, the guys plan to be there to see Mike break up with Paula. Mike also talks about sticking to his commitment to not drink or smoke and thanks his roommates for their support. Sammi brings up Snooki and tells Mike that he should try to settle things with her. Vinny feels like Snooki is trying to forget her past and that's why she doesn't hang out with him much or bring Jionni around. I don't know if Snooki will ever fix things with Mike, but she and Vinny have been cool for a long time, and I think this awkwardness between him and Jionni should be fixed for her sake.

Back at the house, Sammi asks Snooki if she will invite Vinny or Mike to the wedding. She wants Jionni and Vinny to patch things up but definitely doesn't want Mike to be there. She doesn't think that she will ever really forgive Mike for trying to mess with her relationship. Even if she did, she doesn't want to be friends.

The next morning, Snooki is so tired and doesn't want to go to work with Pauly and Jenni. However, she pushes through, even with severe pains in her side. Jenni takes her outside to talk. Snooki feels like she can't talk to anybody but Jenni because she doesn't want to be a buzzkill or annoying to the roommates. However, Jenni feels like they are family and will understand. After work, Jenni plans to throw Snooki a surprise Shore Shower to cheer her up. She recruits Sam and Deena to help her plan the baby shower at Rivoli's, and calls Jionni to tell him about it. She wants it all to be perfect. The girls even go to get Snooki real baby gifts for Lorenzo! Definitely a cute and thoughtful idea!

Later, Paula calls Mike and reveals that she has heard that he wants to break up with her. He plans to go see her at work but she's emotional which tears at his heart a little bit. It just makes this all harder. Later, Pauly tells Vinny to make Mike a "Let's Make It Unofficial" tshirt after work to mess with him. At the house, the guys plan to have a front row seat to the breakup!

The next day, Jenni and Mike go to tan, while Ronnie, Pauly and Vinny are simply there just to watch the drama! Mike goes to talk to Paula after his tan. He admits that he cares about her but thinks that maybe they're moving too fast, and they should go back to how things were. He was actually really smooth about it and Paula's cool with it. It was no drama at all, and they even got some kisses in too! Definitely the easiest breakup ever, which was disappointing to the other guys since they expected more! I guess since Paula had already heard it, she expected it. Not surprised that they broke up. The Situation is obviously not ready to be tied down for real!

There are only FOUR episodes left of the FINAL SEASON of Jersey Shore! Can't believe it! New episodes will return in two weeks after Thanksgiving!

Another grueling episode of Battle of the Seasons! Picking up from last week, there are five teams left in the game (Brooklyn, Las Vegas, Cancun, San Diego, and St. Thomas barely)! The game is dwindling down, so it's more important than ever for these teams to fight hard to solidify their spot in the finals!

The teams go out to let loose. However, there is still a lot of tension between Frank and Zach. Of course, everybody has their opinion on the drama among Team San Diego. Later, Jonna reveals that she lost everything due to a crazy ex who got rid of all of her stuff. She is trying to get her life together and hopes that The Challenge will give her some start over funds.



At the next day's challenge, the set up is a 70s game show called "The Hunger Games." TJ even dresses up like an old school host (slick back hair and all!). It turns out to be an eating contest. The teams will bet how much they can eat in a designated time. The team that bets the highest will have to try to eat that amount. If you win, you will get to put a team into the losers' round. If you bet the most, and don't eat it or throw up, you will go straight to the losers' round. The first two teams are the losers.

For a game that typically has the most disgusting things for these people to eat, it's actually pretty decent food at first, with the first two items being baklava and grape leaves. When Cancun misses their goal of baklava by 2, they automatically get put into the losers' round! Brooklyn takes on the grape leaves, betting 35, but ending up eating 47! They choose San Diego obviously to go into the losers' round with Cancun. The next food is chilies. St. Thomas bets 18 of those, though it's only 2 of them. However, Marie loves peppers so she got 25! It comes down to St. Thomas and Brooklyn for the Power Team, eating as much COW LIVER as they can in two minutes. St. Thomas is disqualified for throwing up, which gives Brooklyn the coveted title of Power Team AGAIN! The losers' round with Cancun and San Diego has them all eating COW INTESTINES AND TESTICLES in two minutes. The teams struggle to hold it down, and who can blame them?! It was very close, but San Diego loses, heading straight into the Arena!

Back at the house, San Diego tries to work through their problems. Zach doesn't think he should go in, but doesn't trust Frank to stick to his word to go in. Brooklyn discusses their options of who will face San Diego. Later, at deliberations, Brooklyn picks Cancun because they haven't gone into the Arena yet (though it's still strategic because San Diego and Cancun are in an alliance together).

Since the only game left is Physical, CJ plans to go in but wants Jonna to go in with him. Jonna is the stronger between her and Jasmine. However, she doesn't want to go into the Arena because she doesn't want to risk getting sent home. She really needs the money, which is understandable, but everybody has to face the Arena sooner or later. She ends up walking out of the room, leaving her team upset.

At the Arena, San Diego chooses Sam and Zach, while Cancun offers CJ and Jasmine. The teams play "Hall Brawl," which has the girls and guys going against each other. There is a narrow hallway to run through each other to get to a bell on the opposite side. Unfortunately for Jasmine's little behind, she got the complete air smashed out of her by Sam! In the boys' heat, even though CJ is little, he outsmarts and outruns Zach, beating him in the first heat. Since the game is tied, it's decided by a coin toss that the guys will go again. CJ wins the first round, but Zach kills it to win the last two! Unfortunately, that leaves Derek and Jonna to fight for Cancun! The win definitely boosts team morale with San Diego. Let's see if they get it together!

Battle of the Seasons will return in two weeks after Thanksgiving!

8:53:00 AM

Another Jerzday, another recap! Picking up from last episode, Deena is a true blue drunken mess still! Vinny tries to comfort her, but it doesn't help much. She misses home and her boyfriend, plus she's drunk. She wants to go home, but Vinny tells her to make that decision when she has calmed down. Even though they love Deena, the rest of the house is annoyed with her, especially Sammi. Ronnie decides to call her mom and tells her that she doesn't need to go home. Afterwards, everyone goes out to Karma without her.

Later, Deena's parents get to the house, which calms Deena down. Her mom tells her that she needs to stop drinking so much and that she's scared that she will be arrested again. Deena doesn't want her to keep calling to check up on her, but if she wasn't drunk ALL THE TIME, her mom wouldn't do that. She keeps talking about having all these "Meatball Days," but she needs a break from all that!


At Karma, Mike continues to pull what the guys call "Sneaky Dickens" moves by talking and feeling on other girls, though he is now in a relationship with Paula. Jenni CALLS HIM OUT in front of some of the girls talking to him. If you didn't want to be in a relationship, Mike, you shouldn't have asked her out in the first place! Meanwhile, Vinny is being tempted to give up his celibacy by some girl he met. However, the girl is mad shy once she gets back to the house, and Vinny just ends up going to sleep next to her.

In the morning, the guys pick up food for a family barbecue in the house. They bring up Mike grinding on other girls, and everyone tells her that that's not allowed now that he's with Paula. Surprisingly, Deena herself takes a day to not drink. Sammi expresses her frustration and annoyance with Deena's drinking and anxiety. Deena wants everyone to just let her be her, and thinks Sammi's making a bigger deal of it than it is. However, Sam lets her know straight up that since she got a boyfriend, her whole life is about Chris and being away from him is changing her. However, Deena can't see or admit that, leaving her angry at Sam.

The next morning, Sam, Jenni and Snooki get to work late, pissing off Danny. Jenni makes a deal with him saying that if she sells a case of shot glasses, she gets out of work early. Of course, she sells them because she's J WOWW! Hell, I'd buy a shot glass and then take a pic with her, Instagram it, and say she sold it to me haha! Easy bet! Afterwards, the girls head to an arcade, where Snooki steals a stuffed leopard, though she could very easily just buy it! Only Nicole...

Back at the house, Mike gets a call from Paula, and invites her to go on a double date with Chris and Deena. When Chris gets there, Deena expresses her frustration to him, and asks him if she's clingy. Chris is fine with Deena just as she is, though he does need her to stop calling him in the middle of the night! At the Boardwalk, it's clear that Mike is a little bit embarrassed by Paula. She acts a little like a Meatball, which turns Mike off. He's in an adjustment period with her in the first place, and it seems like this all is just making it worse. Of course, he wants her to be herself, but she's too comfortable. Meanwhile, the girls have a naive conversation about everybody being open and honest in their relationship.

Once at home, Mike is making references like he is about to dump Paula. Paula has no filter, especially about sex in the bedroom. He then tells her that she doesn't have a filter, and at times, he chalks it up to that just being who Paula is, but that when she sits there quietly, he's good. Awkward moment. Overall, she's a good girl, but Paula can be a little too much to handle. While they're out, Mike leaves Paula to go chill with Mike and Vinny. Paula hangs out with the girls, and they even dance with this old lady who does some crazy gymnast moves! It was the best Jersey Turnpike ever!

Back at the house, Paula reveals that she's wearing butt pads, and Vinny has a ball with them! She acts like one of the boys, telling a bunch of raunchy jokes, and it's embarrassing Mike to death! At the end of the day, guys ultimately get serious about real ladies, not trashy girls! Not saying that Paula is trashy, but if she keeps giving off this type of behavior, Mike is probably going to dump her!

"We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky."

Rihanna's anticipated video for her lead single "Diamonds" just premiered on MTV moments ago! The vid, directed by Anthony Mandler, had plenty of diamonds, of course (Ri Ri even smoked a few!). It has a lot of different scenes from Rihanna singing in the desert alongside a black stallion and its mare, running down a road like she's been chased, and ends with calamity of a war in the streets and a man on fire walking through the scene.

Check out the video after the jump!







Overall, I love the song! I think, compared to what fans and the Rihanna Navy are used to, it's very calm and mellow. Emotional and relaxing to me, with Rihanna even calling Unapologetic itself a "stoner's album" haha! Though it's not my favorite Rihanna video ("We Found Love" still takes the cake!), this video is filled with great imagery and symbols seemingly reflective of her past (MTV does a good job of breaking it down here) While I don't always connect to abstract videos like this, I respected the editing and design put into this one! It fits her!

Make sure you cop Rihanna's seventh album Unapologetic on November 19!

Things are definitely heating up on The Challenge! Picking up from the last episode (due to Halloween, the Challenge was cancelled for last week), Team Brooklyn hosts an Insane Games House Edition to ease tension around the house and have fun, something this Challenge has been seriously missing! Afterwards, they all get a clue from TJ: "Tomorrow's challenge is not going to be easy but it will be memorable," showing that they will probably be playing a memory game. Meanwhile CJ is connecting to Ashley from San Diego, though it's still up in the air if she likes him back.

Next day at the Challenge, the teams gear up to play "Logged Out." The goal is pretty simple: solve a puzzle. The means? Not so simple. The teams will go through three check points. The first is the answer key to memorize a complicated puzzle. The second checkpoint is to carry logs the carry the puzzle pieces up a hill, with the teams all having to stick together. At the third checkpoint, you have to solve the puzzle.


Once the game starts, it's seriously a test of endurance for everyone. The logs are extremely heavy, and it's difficult for them to travel up and down this hill, trying to make sure they have the right logs and the right puzzle in their minds! Brooklyn is very strategic, figuring out the puzzle before heading up the hill with their logs unlike the other teams who wait until they get up the hill to do so.
However, that hike up the mountain is grueling. Everyone is struggling, especially San Diego surprisingly! Sam is having a hard time making it up the mountain with her logs, and it doesn't help that the guys on her team are yelling at her.

In the end, Brooklyn takes the win! One by one, the rest of the teams figure the puzzle out. It ends up being St. Thomas and New Orleans, who both only have two people left on their teams, fighting against each other to not go to the Arena. St Thomas pulls it out, sending Jemmye and Knight into elimination.

Back at the house, the deliberation is the easiest I want to say in Challenge history for Brooklyn. At deliberation, they choose San Diego to go into a mental challenge, simply based on the fact that San Diego has been the head of their separate alliance, sending all of these other teams in, especially Brooklyn. Afterwards, Frank mentions that he wants to go in with Ashley. It turns out that Zach and Frank had made a pact that if their team went into the Arena, Frank would take the mental and strategic games, with Zach, with his strength, would take physical or endurance. When Sam speaks up, saying that she feels she should go in, Frank quickly backs out, scared to go in with her because of her lack of performance lately. It starts a huge fight because Zach feels that Frank is going back on his word. Neither one of them wants to go in for different reasons.

That night at the Arena, Jemmye and Knight take their place for the elimination round. Though Sam steps in to fight for her team, Zach and Frank didn't come to a decision about who will go in, leaving that power in Brooklyn's hands. Brooklyn quickly chooses Zach to go in, though the mental game is "Water Torture" (the game that Camila and Eric failed miserably at a few weeks ago!) Though the game is mental, it's also about strength and endurance, with the guys having to pull themselves down into a tank of water and holding themselves under for their teammates to solve a puzzle. I honestly would have actually put Frank into this one, because he's definitely weaker in those categories. When Zach starts struggling to get to the bottom of the tank, Sam surprisingly lights a fire under his ass and gets him to dig deeper! They end up winning the challenge, sending Jemmye and Knight home and leaving five teams left in the game.

Back at the house, it's obviously awkward between Frank and Zach. Frank thanks him for his work in the Arena, but Zach walks away from him, seeing what kind of competitor he really is. The game will only heat up from here, so we'll see what happens next week!

Another Jerzday gone, meaning another recap from yours truly!

First and foremost, I want to send my condolences to all those who have lost others, homes, cars, etc., due to Hurricane Sandy. While the DMV area got hit with a little rain and wind, New Jersey and New York received the brunt of it. Seaside Heights was hit hard as well, with much of the Boardwalk being destroyed, and even the Shore Store took a big hit! The cast of the show offered statements of love and support to the place that has been their home for the past four years.

Picking up from last week, Jenni and Roger are still on the phone. She doesn't want to lose his relationship with him. Roger is not breaking up with her for the moment, but is still rather cold towards her. But they'll be fine! (As we all know, they're now ENGAGED!)


Later, Mike talks about Paula's changing because of her new relationship status. He doesn't like to be confined, but he's determined to make it work. However, he thinks she needs a little sprucing up, so he plans to shell out some funds to make her a 10 (Who says that??? The Situation.). Then we look up, and here's Paula at the Shore Store. SHE'S NEVER THERE! Seems like she's a little too excited about this relationship, and I can see that Mike is getting a little doubtful about their status and it's only been a day! The employees at the store even do a pool to see how long their relationship will last! Meanwhile, Danny gets Deena a prison jumpsuit to wear at work (appropriate yet inappropriate at the same time haha!)

The next day, Vinny and Pauly plan to prank Deena, because it's so fun for them to mess with her. After Sam and Deena go out to run errands, the guys go down to the Boardwalk and take beautiful pictures reenacting her relationship with Chris. The pictures are HILARIOUS! Then, they replace their pictures in her frames. They get back to the house, only to find out that Deena and Sam got back home early. Deena notices her pictures are missing, and goes to look for them. Pauly distracts her while Vinny puts their pictures in her room. She goes back to see them there, and everyone dies of laughter! Another perfect prank from Vinny and Pauly!

Later, Ronnie and Deena go play on the Boardwalk and drink (though Deena JUST got arrested for drunk dancing in the street last week). Drunk after a while, Deena starts talking about her and Chris, and their sex life, annoying Ronnie. Then the girl walks UP to a policeman and asks for a hug! However, she holds herself together until she gets back to the house. When they get back, everybody heads out to Karma. There, Roger surprises Jenni with all of her close friends from Rhode Island, and Jionni comes back to be with Snooki.

Meanwhile, Mike isn't acting like he has a girlfriend, as he's talking, flirting, and grinding with other chicks! A friend of Paula's walks up to him and calls him out! Later, a few more friends come up to him too! That girl has a good amount of spies out tonight! In the taxi, Ronnie tells Deena that she talks about herself too much and it's annoying him. That pisses Deena off, but the next morning, she's nice and sober, and gives Ronnie a hug for being a drunk mess.

Paula calls Mike that morning, and he doesn't tell her that anything happened. MVP go out for breakfast and Pauly and Vinny tell Mike that now that he's in a relationship, he can't do everything he used to do. It's different now that he has a title on him. Meanwhile, Pauly's stalker Vanessa is BACK! She's very, very creepy! She's been following him at least the past two years on the Shore, and it's getting kind of scary!

Meanwhile, Snooki tries to cook for Jionni. It's a major fail, with her calling her dad for advice. It doesn't help though. When Jionni comes over, he tells her that the meal tastes good, though it obviously doesn't. You don't want to upset your soon to be wifey/baby mom though! Jionni knows the game.

Back at the house, Ronnie, Sammi, and Deena go down to EJs and drink. Sammi and Ronnie end up leaving Deena at EJs to go home to get ready for Karma later. Later, Deena's mom calls and asks about her. Her mom is upset that Deena is down there drinking by herself. Deena enjoys herself and manages to make it home without getting arrested. She gets a call from her mother, who proceeds to yell at her for getting so drunk. She tells Deena to pack her bags because she's coming to get her. Deena calls her and tells her that she wants to go home. Through it all, she is crazy drunk, so who knows what she'll remember. Everybody tells her instead of coming to Karma, she needs to sleep it off. Ronnie and the guys make fun of her wanting to go home and crying all the time. The episode ends with Deena cussing out Ronnie for making fun of her, with her still seemingly being undecided about going home. This girl and her emotions are KILLING me!
