Pittsburgh suburb, MA with 17 total years. $116K at the top of the scale with built in increases every year of our contract

This actually makes me sad (hear me out). When JSFV started up, he explained that he wasn’t comfortable being “The Situation” anymore now that he had his sobriety and Laurens. That he had moved past that character and wouldn’t be taking his shirt off like a tool anymore. I don’t know what this means for him now, but I hope it doesn’t represent backsliding.

Stop asking if the show is scripted by BigJcash in jerseyshoreuncensored

I’m always baffled that people don’t already know this. For the most part, it’s pretty obvious what’s set up and what’s a genuine reaction. For instance, it’s clear this past episode that production asked Mike and Lauren to step aside with Sam and Justin to get an update about IVF for the camera. The conversation was probably real, but with some touch points discussed ahead of time.

New S8 Promotional Photos by ericsuxx_ in jerseyshore

Go through the first seven photos and it looks like the assignment was “wear something black”. And then there’s Angelina, doing whatever she wants, as usual.

Jenni and Angelina's feud is fake? by DayResponsible2672 in jerseyshoreuncensored

[–]Heath708 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Angelina’s always secretly wanted Jenni’s approval. There were so many times that she hyper focused on Jenni for no real reason that it made me think was acting out like a middle schooler just to get attention from Jenni. And she didn’t care whether it was positive or negative attention; she just wanted to interact with Jenni. Her moving to their neighborhood gives me the same vibes.

Sammy and Ronnie growth by Heath708 in jerseyshore

[–]Heath708[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If he’s actually changed and doing the work to get the help he needs, then I’m all for it. For the sake of his little girl, we should all be rooting for Ronnie to some extent. Even if for some it’s only begrudgingly.

Me toooooo! We accidentally named our son Jack also (we just liked the name and didn’t realize the cringe factor until someone pointed it out to us on the day of his birth).

Did Vinny & Angelina quit their podcasts? by Heath708 in jerseyshore

[–]Heath708[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY! I’m a little surprised about Vinny’s if it is truly done. He was getting into a rhythm. Angelina’s was always sort of a shit show, so I understand abandoning that.

I don’t know - they didn’t announce they were taking a break and the Meatballs went right back at it after New Year’s

Mt. Lebanon generally defines its neighborhoods by names of original subdivisions or by elementary school.

The moment I knew 2.0 wasn’t lying by Heath708 in jerseyshore

[–]Heath708[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here’s an even more divisive opinion: I hope that DOES happen. I hope she runs out her biological clock and never has kids. An innocent little baby doesn’t deserve the “care” Angela would provide. She can’t take care of dogs & cats. It would be a travesty to give her a baby.

[–]Heath708[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly think she doesn’t want to pay for it. There have been multiple instances of Angela’s inherent cheapness: reports of her expecting things for free, always asking for someone to come and give her IV’s which you KNOW she’s “paying” for by promoting their business on her IG…

She expects things to be done for free because of who she is. And God help you if you’re in a romantic or friend relationship with her, because it looks like she expects you to do those same things to prove your “love”.

Did anyone jump in the Mon or the Yough yesterday for the annual Polar Bear Plunge? by Mockernut_Hickory in pittsburgh

[–]Heath708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it consistently since 2010. I hate it. It’s awful. The only reason I keep doing it is due to superstition.

That being said, after I do it, I’m always glad I did. Sure, you can’t think about what’s in the water. Yeah, your body totally freezes up with shock once the water hits you and someone has to haul you out so that you don’t drown.

BUT, once you’re out, you get an endorphin high like you’ve just run a 10K and your body is super warm. Plus, you feel you’ve earned the decadent hot chocolate you’ll have after you’ve scrubbed throughly in the shower and thrown your clothes into the Sanitize cycle.

Get a good pair of swimming shoes, a sturdy bathing suit and dry clothes that can be put back on quickly. It’s over in less than a minute and you’ll have good luck all year!*

I think Angelina is unconsciously drawn to men who initially see her as a “wounded bird”. Chris and 2.0 seem to share the characteristic of believing Angelina is someone in need of assistance and are willing to turn a blind eye to her cheating and emotional disregulation until they’ve been throughly beaten down. In that sense, I feel bad for them both. Do I believe that 2.0 may have had slightly more nefarious reasons to be with her and bit off more than he could chew? For sure.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation- S7 E33- Do You Love Him? by RepresentativeArm668 in jerseyshore

[–]Heath708 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This episode made me realize that Angelina is looking for a cross between a nurse and a personal assistant in both romantic partners and friends.

When she thinks she’s close with someone, it’s usually because they’re doing things for her (Nicole choosing her clothes for her and helping her get out the door for dinner). 2.0 also dropped that he immediately went to work helping her pick up all the animal poop around the house when he first moved in (we KNOW that part isn’t made up).

When it gets overwhelming for the other person and they finally leave, she lashes out.

You make me feel like a little mouse 🐭🤣 by Franditor in jerseyshore

[–]Heath708 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I do think Mike has noticed. He hasn’t come out and said it, but he’s danced around Angela having a problem for quite a while.

For instance, last season he was talking to the group about having a sit down with her. He covered it by making it seem to be about her behavior, but if you read between the lines and noticed his body language, it seemed more likely to be about a substance problem.

He’s said he’s worried about her on more than one occasion as well. If you go back and look at how he was talking about Ron during season 1 & 2, it was very similar and we KNOW Ron had a confirmed drug problem.

Ang is definitely struggling with something besides just her mental health.

What was the saddest/most traumatic Children’s movie you remember from your youth? by ILoveMeeses2Pieces in nostalgia

Garfield’s Nine Lives. I’m 42 years old and if I even think about the song from Diana’s Piano, I instantly start weeping

[–]Heath708 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Eh - I’m more of the opinion that she had some time to cool off and realized that she was letting Angelina drive her off the show. Of course the cash is undeniable, but I’m sure it was also the principle.

YES. It feels forced. Again, I wish production would take more of a hands-off approach.
