In this episode of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” airing on MTV on Thursday May 2, the cast’s trip to Tucson, Arizona, gets off to an awkward start as tensions rise between Angelina Pivarnick and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola following a controversial TikTok video.
The episode, titled “Jersey Shore Fan Club?” picks up after the cast’s Nashville trip, where Sammi and New York Jets player Nick Bawden’s wife, Alexis, filmed a TikTok video together. In the video, Alexis repeatedly asks Sammi, “Are you friends with her?”—a line Sammi famously said to her ex, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, during their relationship drama in the original “Jersey Shore” series.
The TikTok video seems to be in response to Angelina sliding into Nick’s DMs, which led to his wife clapping back at her in another video. Angelina was upset by the interaction and asked her boyfriend, Vinny “Vinny 2.0” Tortorella, to join her in Tucson.
Angelina’s invitation to Vinny 2.0 adds another layer of tension to the trip, as the group dynamics continue to evolve. Angelina and Vinny 2.0’s relationship has been a source of drama, with the group expressing mixed feelings about his presence.
The group reacts to the TikTok video, with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi acknowledging that Angelina will not be happy about it. The video also brings up memories of Sammi and Ronnie’s past relationship drama, adding fuel to the fire.
Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino weighs in on the situation, stating that Sammi “poked the hamster with that TikTok.” The conflict between Angelina and Sammi escalates, leading to a physical altercation between Vinny 2.0 and Mike.
Jersey Shore Family Vacation: Jersey Shore Fan Club? airs on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 8.00 pm on MTV.
