Jersey Shore: Is Sammi Giancola FINALLY Coming Back?!

Hasn"t it been so fun having Jersey Shore back on our televisions?

Well, fun, depressing, mortifying … but still, it"s just like old times!

We"ve seen those beloved guidos and guidettes get wasted, make terrible decisions — seriously, it"s like they never left.

But even though it"s been very entertaining, there"s still been one very big thing missing, and that, of course, is the presence of Sammi Sweetheart.

She"s explained at length why she made the decision not to return to the Shore, saying that she"s "at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship."

She also said that she"s "not the same person as I was when I was 22," and that she wanted "to avoid potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS."

After seeing last week"s episode, we know she was definitely smart to avoid this mess — more on that in a moment.

But still, it"s hard not to have the whole gang together.

However, in a new interview that the current Jersey Shore crew did, it sounds like there"s a chance Sammi may make an appearance in the second season of Family Vacation!

When asked if she"d be coming back, Vinny said that "there"s always a chance," but Pauly D took it a step further, saying "I can almost bet on that."

He explained his answer, saying that after seeing all the buzz around the new show "she must want to do it, I gotta say. She must have to want to do the second one."

JWoww agreed with him, because "for the simple fact that she will always be a part of us and she"ll always be mentioned or brought up, at least capitalize on it, speak your own truth."

"Come in," she continued, "fight us and whatever, or love us, or like be around us. It"s kind of sh-tty that she"s not taking the opportunity."

Everyone was nodding while she was saying all of this, so it seemed like everyone agreed that she should and probably will come back — everyone but Deena.

She said that she doesn"t know that Sammi will come back because they tried to talk her into it when they got the show, but "she"s just not into it anymore."

While it would be great to see good ol" Sammi Sweetheart back on Jersey Shore, we have to say that, given what"s been developing recently, she absolutely made the right call.

And we"re with Deena — it would be really surprising if she did decide to come back for the next season.

As we"ve seen on the show, Ronnie, Sammi"s ex and, let"s be real, the main reason she"s not interested in filming anything, is still an absolute mess these days.

We saw him cheat on his then-pregnant girlfriend, and we saw him admit that he still has feelings for Sammi.

In a confessional, Deena revealed that he talks about her all the time, and that "Sam told me that he used to call her on blocked numbers, and used to like, be really weird."

She even said that "she was afraid she was gonna get in the house and he would get drunk and spiral and try and get back with her or something."

And besides everything we"ve seen on the show, he"s been having a pretty public meltdown recently, what with his Instagram fights with the mother of his newborn daughter and all that.

If the Ronnie of today feels comfortable threatening to beat his baby mama in an Instagram video, then Sammi is smart to stay far, far away.

Watch the Jersey Shore cast speculate on her return in the video below:

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro to Sammi Giancola: I STILL Love You!

If the following report is true, if Ronnie Ortiz-Magro really is still pining over Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, then we have one piece of advice for the Jersey Shore cast member:

You better change your game, dude.

The MTV personality made very public and very shameful headlines this week when he split from girlfriend Jen Harley.

But a mere mention of their break-up scarcely tells this ugly story.

Over the course of a few days, Ronnie and Jen went back and forth on social media in one of the most vicious viral fights we can recall.

It started when Ronnie claimed Harley still had a sex with her ex-boyfriend in her possession; an unusual decision to be sure, but one that deserved her being referred to as a “hoe” by Magro?

We’re not so sure.

Harley fired back that Ronnie was a “coke head.”

The feud continued with Ronnie alleging Harley cheated on him with a friend last summer, “taking it in the ass” from him on a “taco float.”

From there, it actually got worse…

Ronnie Magro Gets Into Altercation with Jen Harley

In that video above, Ronnie almost comes to actual physical blows with Harley.

And, in response to being dragged all over the Internet by her baby daddy (yes, her baby daddy; the pair welcomed a daughter just ONE MONTH AGO), Harley claimed Ronnie had cheated on her and basically ditched his kid.

This claim seems pretty valid, too, considering Jersey Shore viewers basically witnessed Ronnie’s infidelity on last Thursday’s episode of the MTV series.

We’ve summarize this insane back-and-forth below:

Multiple insiders have confirmed that Ronnie and Harley are no longer together, which is likely for the best.

Hopefully, they can find a way to at least be civil while they co-parent their little girl.

And hopefully, in Ronnie’s mind, he can use his new single status to woo ex-girlfriend Giancola.

“Ronnie still loves Sam,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Everyone knows it.”

This is not altogether stunning.

Magro made it clear in a conversation with Snooki last week that he didn’t see himself exchanging any vows with Harley.

“I thought you were in love. So she’s not the one, then?” Snooki asked him.

“Probably not, right?” Ronnie replied. “I had waited so long not to have kids so that I am married, in a happy relationship, not to just have a baby mama.”

“Why can’t you marry this b—ch?” Snooki said, adding:

“‘Cause you f—king love Sam.”

And there it is.

Ortiz-Magri and Giancola met on the MTV reality program and were in an on and off relationship from 2009 to 2017.

What happened? Why did they break up?

“I got cold feet,” Ronnie said on the Jersey Shore: Vacation premiere, saying Sammi made it clear she wanted to get married.

“I wanted to do the right thing, but there was a part of me that was like, ‘I’m not going to do the right thing,"” he continued.

“So I didn’t do it. I ended up cheating, she found out. I blew it. It’s over.”

And now? Sammi has a new boyfriend and has chosen not to appear on the resurrected version of Jersey Shore.

“Ron needs to stop talking about Sam and move the f-ck on,” Denna Cortese said in a confessional in the April 19 episode of the reboot.

She concluded of her pal:

“Sam told me that he used to call her on blocked numbers, and used to like, be really weird.

“She was afraid she was gonna get in the house and he would get drunk and spiral and try and get back with her or something.”

Sounds like she knows Ronnie well.

Sammi Giancola: I Can"t Return to Jersey Shore Because of Ronnie!!

So, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is happening, and it"s just as insane as the trailers made it look. The ratings are doing well, and they"ve already been renewed for another season.

But Sammi Sweetheart didn"t return to the show"s revival series.

Finally, that conspicuous absence has been fully explained by the cast, as you can see in the video below.

The clip below begins with Ronnie asserting that the other women of Jersey Shore didn"t really know Sammi that well when he was dating her.

"When me and her dated, she never talked to you."

Deena disagrees, saying: "She talked to me."

"Not really," Ronnie argues. "Not really. Not the way she talks to you now. She talks to you after we broke up."

Which prompts Deena to spill everything that"s going on.

It was Ronnie, she says, that really scared Sammi away from participating in this revival.

"Ron," Deena says. "Needs to stop talking about Sam and, like, move the f–k on."

And she continues.

"Sam told me that he used to call her on blocked numbers and used to, like, be really weird."

That is alarming behavior.

"She was afraid that she was going to get into the house and he would get drunk and spiral."

Sammi allegedly had a very specific concern about an intoxicated Ronnie might do.

"And try to get back with her or something."

This matches what Snooki told Larry King.

"Sam decided not to do it," she told him in a recent interview.

At first, she tried to keep things vague.

"Basically," Snooki says of Sammi. "She was over the whole reality scene."

But she quickly becomes more specific.

"She didn"t want to be in a toxic relationship with Ron anymore. Which we totally get."

When Sammi spoke for herself on social media, she used much vaguer terms to describe what she was avoiding.

"I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially toxic situations."

Yeah, an ex who can"t seem to get the message and will be drinking … that sounds pretty toxic.

"I"ve just decided to live my life for me these days."

At the time, this could have had a number of meanings.

But in light of what we"ve heard, it seems clear that she was referring to wanting to avoid Ronnie.

This is … alarming. Not surprising — we all saw what Ronnie was like with Sammi on camera.

But if a woman is afraid to return to a reality series because of a man … should she be the one who doesn"t make it on camera?

Someone doesn"t have to fear for their physical safety for the other person to be the wrongdoer, right?

We"d hoped for more from Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.

Earlier this month, Ronnie and his girlfriend welcomed their baby girl.

But if that relationship wasn"t enough to assure Sammi that he"d leave her alone, we absolutely do not blame her.

If you look at the way that he speaks so defensively in this video, you can"t help but wonder if Sammi was right to avoid him.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation Recap: Sex Doll Sammi & the Sober Situation

Jersey Shore Family Vacation made its long-awaited debut on MTV last night, and the consensus among viewers seems to be that while the guidos and guidettes didn’t quite deliver the same bonkers energy and smush-room shenanigans of their initial run, it was nice to check in with TV’s most heavily spray-tanned cast.

Of course, not everyone was able to make it to South Beach to enjoy all the fist-pumping and facial fillers.

Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola was sadly absent from the reunion for reasons that weren’t made entirely clear in last night’s episode.

(In a recent Instagram post, Sammi explained that she’s in a “completely different place” in her life these days, and she wants to avoid potentially “TOXIC SITUATIONS,” which most interpreted as a jab at her ex, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro.)

But that doesn’t mean Sammi was forgotten.

No, the cast paid tribute to Giancola with a sex doll forged in her image.

The disturbing doppelganger even sported a t-shirt reading “I’m in a really good place right now” and spouted pre-recorded snippets of dialogue, most notably, “Roooon, stahhhhp!”

And with that appropriately tawdry blast from the past (and the help of a few dozen liters of wine) the initial awkwardness of reuniting comes to an end and the cast is officially ready to make Miami a much greasier place.

Of course, a lot has changed since the guidos parted ways in Seaside Heights way back in 2011.

Snooki, JWoww and Pauly D all have kids now. Ronnie’s girlfriend is seven months pregnant. Vinny is so committed to his keto diet he won’t even dog a slice of pizza while thoroughly hammered.

And of course, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino might soon be imprisoned for tax evasion.

Sorrentino’s legal entanglements very nearly prevented him from making the trip, but when he did finally meet up with his former roommates, we learned that he’s matured into a very different Sitch.

The Situation is sober and in a relationship now, which should put him in a prime position to be incredibly bored and mildly irritated for the remainder of the season.

Of course, these days, Mike is actually well-liked by the rest of the cast (with the apparent exception of Ronnie), which means he’ll likely receive plenty of support from people who want to make sure he stays on the wagon and out of prison.

Frankly, we have mixed feelings about Sorrentino’s current … situation.

Yes, it’s nice that he’s grown into a better person, but will a sober, non-confrontational Sitch bring much to the table in terms of entertainment value?

And we won’t even get into the ethical questions about tossing a recently-convicted felon and a recovering addict into a lion’s den of temptation.

The premiere episode concluded with blackouts of both the electrical and drunken variety, as well as the decision to toss Sex Doll Sammi into the pool.

This led to Snooki losing her wedding rings, which in turn, led her to drunkenly arriving at the decision to go home.

Obviously, she’s not really gonna leave, and considering her earnings have been in the seven-figure range for nearly a decade now, it’s hard to get too concerned about her lost diamonds.

Ultimately, the final scene served to remind us that while Family Vacation may be entertaining at times, the cast will never be able to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was their first run on MTV.

While episodes used to conclude with barroom brawls, now we have concocted drama over lost jewelry.

All-in-all, it was a step up from the abysmally lame Jersey Shore reunion special that aired last year, but these guidos will need to step their game up if they want to continue leading fans into the smush room.

Sammi Giancola: I"m Not Doing Jersey Shore Family Vacation, It"s Toxic!!

We’ve all seen the insane trailer for Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, and this reunion looks like it’s going to be bonkers.

But while most of the cast was begging MTV to make this happen, Sammi Sweetheart isn’t even going to show up.

Why?

Sammi Giancola took to Instagram to explain her reasoning.

“I have chosen not to join the show this season because I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my businesses and relationship.”

Her statement continues to emphasize that, like many of her castmates, she is in a different stage of her life than she was when she first attained stardom.

“I am not the same person as I was when I was 22. At 31.”

And she says something cryptic that many fans found to be alarming.

“I am currently extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially TOXIC SITUATIONS.”

Whoa!

But, despite dropping the word “toxic,” it sounds like she’s not trying to bash anyone.

“However, it was a difficult decision as I love my roomies.”

She announces what she’ll be doing instead of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

“I’ve decided to focus on me, my future and what truly makes me happy.”

And she makes it clear that she holds no ill will.

“I will forever be grateful to ‘Jersey Shore’ and everything it has brought to me!”

We have to wonder if the “toxic” situation to which she referred was the party atmosphere or reality television itself, not the people.

She explains why she’s left reality stardom behind.

“I’ve just decided to live my life for me these days.”

And she gives a big shoutout to everyone who’s been part of her life.

“Also I am forever grateful & thankful for all of you!!!”

She singles out her fans in particular.

“Special shoutout to my fans, but I’m not going anywhere! Follow me and stay tuned, you never know what I could be up to NEXT!”

After posting that, Sammi wrote in the captions:

“I love you guys! Thank you all so much for your DMs, comments, messages & kind words.”

She says that they really do mean a lot to her.

“I read them all and am forever grateful and thankful for you guys!!”

And she got support in the comments from none other than JWoww’s husband, Roger Matthews, who wrote:

“Lots of respect for this as I said to you. Minus the money I see absolutely zero benefits to participating. You look happy and at peace. Stay blessed.”

Matthews did clear up that he wasn’t condemning his wife or anyone else:

“Different circumstances for different households. My wife is a grown adult and can make her own choices. Very proud of the businesswoman and mother my wife has become.”

He sounds like a very supportive husband.

“I would never tell my wife what she can and can’t do. Free will should always prevail. I wasn’t aware of what the show would be.”

In his mind, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was going to be something very different.

“I thought the powers that be might want to show a new side to them. A mature side with [families] and children.”

That is adorably naive.

“I was wrong but to be clear I love my wife very much. Drama sells. I get it. Just not my thing anymore.”

It sounds like Sammi’s former castmates aren’t really clear on why she decided to opt out.

But Pauly D tells TooFab his theory:

“She must be rich! Maybe she doesn’t need the money. I’m trying to think about it, like, maybe she’s rich? I don’t know. We wanted everybody to do it.”

Honestly, most people would assume that anyone who would turn up their nose at a reality TV gig must be wealthy enough that they just don’t need money.

Jersey Shore: The REAL Reason Sammi Sweetheart Won"t Be Returning!

Just a few days ago, we got the most wonderful news that we’d heard in a very, very long time …

Jersey Shore is coming back!

For real this time, too, not just for one lame special.

MTV announced the big news during the series premiere of their new show, Floribama Shore, a Jersey Shore “spin-off” set down south.

Or really, Snooki announced the big news in a short little teaser that aired along with the show, screaming “We’re back, bitches!”

It’s enough to warm your heart and give you hope in the hopeless time, isn’t it?

We don’t have too many details yet — we know the new show will be called Jersey Shore Family Vacation, and it will air sometime in 2018.

Snooki — or Nicole Polizzi, as she may prefer to go by now — will be there, of course, as will her bestie, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and her fellow meatball, Deena Nicole Cortese.

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will also be going on that family vacation, along with Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and the delightful Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio.

So who’s missing? You know, besides Angelina, lovingly known by her former castmates as the Staten Island Dump.

You know who’s missing — Sammi Giancola.

Yes, for some totally unfair reason, we’re getting new Jersey Shore in 2018, but we won’t be seeing Sammi Sweetheart.

And we came so close to heaven, didn’t we?

Ever since the news of Sammi’s absence broke, Jersey Shore fans everywhere have been in mourning — and they’ve also been demanding answers.

Up until now, we haven’t had any real explanation for why she won’t be there with the rest of those lovable guidos and guidettes.

Some sources claimed that she was working on a deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, but most fans assume that she just doesn’t want to film with Ronnie again after all these years.

It makes sense — if you’ve seen literally any footage from the show, you know that Sammi and Ronnie had a ridiculously toxic relationship.

Remember how many times they broke up and got back together, just to break up again? How many times they made each other cry?

What about the time that he trashed her room after a fight? Or the time that she punched him in the face just for talking to JWoww?

Ooh, ooh, how about the time that he referred to her “Fred Flinstone toe” and she lost her mind?

Yeah, so Ronnie and Sammi have some history, and it would make sense if they didn’t want to be around each other after everything that’s happened between them.

But is that the whole reason Sammi’s not coming back?

According to Snooki, yep.

On a podcast earlier this week, Snooki said “Everyone’s asking why Sammi’s not doing it. You have to ask her that, I’m not gonna speak for her.”

But then she went on to say that “Sammi is just in such a happy place that I feel like she doesn’t want to jump back into that drama if it does happen.”

“And being that there was a lot of Ron and Sam drama when we did film, it was just really hard on both of them,” she added. “So I just think she doesn’t want that anymore.”

That’s more than fair, but still disappointing.

Don’t give up hope yet though — filming still hasn’t started yet, and Snooki revealed that the rest of the crew has been “begging her to come back on the show” because “it’s gonna be different.”

“Everyone pray that Sammi comes back,” she said, “because I feel like she might change her mind.”

“Sam, if you’re listening, come to the show. Like, stop being — stop it. Stop it right now before I spank you.”

Yes, Sam, please. Stop

Or, to speak to her in her own language, “OH MY GAAAAAHD, STAAAAAHP.”

Sammi Giancola: Why Was She Left Out of the Jersey Shore Reunion?

Are you struggling with the feeling that 2017 has been jabbing you with a barbecue fork in all of your most vulnerable places?

Well, you’re not alone.

The events of this year have left millions longing for a simpler time, when gentlemen inquired as to whether a lady was DTF before the two of them exchanged STDs.

As a result, MTV is doing its best to expand its iconic series Jersey Shore, into a full-blown franchise.

It’s a strategy that kind of worked for 16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom, but even then, there were some misfires (RIP, Teen Mom 3).

Thus far, the response to southern-fried spinoff Floribama Shore has been less than encouraging.

(Ratings numbers aren’t in yet, but the show was roasted to a crisp by irritated viewers on Twitter during its Monday premiere.)

So the network is returning to the humpin’-and-fist-pumpin’ crew that delivered an unexpected ratings boon back in the 2000s with a long-anticipated Jersey Shore reunion.

You may be thinking, Wait there was already a Jersey Shore reunion and it was super lame!

And you would be right.

MTV brought (most of) the old gang back together for a one-off special, and wow, was it horrendous.

There was also a Burger King-sponsored Jersey Shore reunion back in July.

Yet again, the folks responsible were unable to assemble the entire cast, and once again, it sucked out loud.

But this new project is something else, entirely MTV claims.

No shameless cash-grab like those first two ventures, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will apparently offer an unvarnished glimpse at the ways in which life after fame has affected Snooki, The Situation, and their less-amusingly-nicknamed friends.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation Teaser

However, as eagle-eyed fans have pointed out, MTV was once again able to get the entire band back together.

This time, the missing party is Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, who’s best remembered for her volatile relationship with Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, aka the other cast member you totally forgot about.

There are conflicting stories about why Giancola was unable to join her sweaty former housemates.

Not surprisingly, her reps claim she’s simply too busy being super famous:

“Sammi is working on another project,” a source close to Giancola tells Radar Online.

“I believe she is joining Celebrity Big Brother.”

The more believable story is that Sammi simply didn’t want to delve back into the seriously messy drama that characterized her twenties.

“Everyone was invited to come on the show, but Sammi was the only one who didn’t want to,” says a different insider.

“A big reason for that was because she didn’t want to be around Ronnie.”

We guess we can understand that, but seriously–how is it this hard to re-assemble the cast of freakin’ Jersey Shore?

Are they all gonna appear unannounced on a rooftop in London someday?

That was a Beatles reference for those of you old enough to remember Jersey Shore, but too young to remember real gosh-dang rock music!

Now if you’ll excuse us, we think we heard some kids on our lawn.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro & Sammi Giancola: Back Together!

We’ve been told otherwise for years, but it looks like maybe you can find love on the Jersey Shore. 

Yes, several years after everyone stopped caring about their wildly dysfunctional relationship, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Sammi Giancola are back together.

You may remember that Ronnie and Sammi called it quits in August of 2014 after 6 seasons of delivering non-stop “should I be entertained by this or should I be dialing 911?” drama on Jersey Shore.

The moment wasn’t televised, but we assume balloons dropped from the sky, as it would’ve been about the 10,000th time the couple broke up.

“Both Sammi and Ronnie are telling friends they have never loved anyone else since they broke up,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding that the couple recently reunited while partying in New York City.

It was around that time that Magro fell on hard times, losing his famous physique and getting involved in a number of violent altercations. 

“We just grew our separate ways,” he told an interviewer, thus demonstrating that his grasp on the English language remains as tenuous as ever.

“She’s still a great person. I love her as a person and I care about her but we went our separate ways. That’s it…At the end of the day, we went through a lot of stuff together. We have a lot of history so I keep her close.”

Apparently that wasn’t it, as insiders say the couple is fully back together.

Get your sleeveless tux ready, because their might be another Jersey Shore wedding in the future.
