The ongoing saga of the Jersey Shore cast continues as the crew heads south for what is being billed as a “farming good time.” In the latest episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, titled South Jersey, the familiar faces of MTV’s most famous housemates trade the club for the countryside, though not without their usual dose of self-induced drama and general absurdity. The episode kicks off with Vinny, the group’s resident hypochondriac, suspecting he has a fever, setting a slightly panicked tone for the getaway.
While Vinny worries about his health, the girls have other plans. They board a private jet to see Pauly D perform a DJ set, a reminder that even as they get older, the GTL lifestyle is never too far away. This brief return to their comfort zone is quickly contrasted with the episode’s main event: a trip to a farm. The idea of this particular group engaging in rural activities is the central comedic hook, and the show seems ready to mine every possible moment of city-slicker-out-of-water humor.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs Thursday, June 19 at 8:00 PM ET on MTV.
