Jersey Shore Live Blogging: Season 2.5

Quick Recap: Ronnie's a jerk, the guys are ignoring it and the women are trying to tell Sammi without pissing off her OR her sleazebag pseudo-boyfriend.  Good luck with that!

1:45 - J Woww talking to herself while adjusting her boobs is pretty sweet.

2:30 - Gay pride week in Miami!  No surprise, the guys are nowhere to be seen.

4:00 - "Gay guys aren't attracted to vagina.  They're attracted to ***" They have to bleep out "musical theater" on MTV?

5:00 - I love it when MTV plays the power ballad chords to generate drama.  It's directing!

7:00 - The Situation had a scheduled hookup that is now leading to a 3s Company, um, situation.  But the guys finally score, which seems surprising that's it happens in episode 5. Not surprising is that Mike doesn't know the names.

12:00 - Angelina apparently still doesn't have a cell phone.  And clearly he's out of line for wanting her to do her share of dishes.

12:30 - It's kind of surreal to see any of the cast actually walking to/from anywhere that doesn't sell booze.

14:30 - A touching moment as Mike apologizes for yelling at Angelina for not doing dishes.  If the end of Beaches was a 9 on the emotional scale, this was a solid 7.5.

16:30 - Snooki informs us that there's a process to breaking up with a guy.  She doesn't specify if a series of angry, drunken phone calls is part of the process.

17:30 - I don't want to sound like an intellectual snob, but I don't think that "sympathetic" is word-of-the-day material.

20:00 - How do they have a quiet night in and STILL manage to oversleep?

21:00 - So, if you find a note, isn't your first guess at the author's identity the people that aren't there that day?

24:10 - Actually, Ron, people in the house have big fingers, and very small mouths.

25:15 - "And then I saw the word 'wisely', and I knew it wasn't Snooki -- she don't use words like that." Yeah, "wisely".  That's some big-time vocabulary.

27:30 - Angelina might have post-Jersey Shore opportunities, but the World Series of Poker is not one of them.

29:30 - Wow.  Sammi finally is somewhat sympathetic.  Ronnie, of course, promptly hoists himself onto the cross he carries around just for this purpose.

31:30 - I'm not saying that Snooki and J Woww are bad liars, but not even the Church Commission would believe their BS.

34:45 - "Do whatever you want to do, but I'm not getting involved."  Except, you know, except for writing the note.

35:30 - "If they end up back together, she looks like the dumbest bitch." Well, obviously that's going to happen.

37:15 - "You either want this, or you don't. You either want this, or you don't. I need to know."  I am going to try this in my next bad relationship.

39:00 - Nice cross-marketing with Ron asking for "the full Varsity Blues outfit" from his FTF back home.

So, they're done.  Again.  Sammi has realized that he's a sleazebag, and she's dumping him.  For now.  In case you can't detect my skepticism, it's there.  Overall, I'd give the episode a

C-

Some decent drama, but not enough hilarity.  Though the complete and utter cluelessness of everyone involved was fun.  On the bright side, next week we might have a 3-way catfight with Jenni, Angelina and Sammi.  Wrowwwwrw!
