Episode Report Card DeAnn Welker: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Remember When We Were Fun?
By DeAnn Welker | Season 6 | Episode 1 | Aired on 10.04.2012
Dinner. Mike wants to make amends. He tells everyone he wanted to start off on the right foot and that he's changed his life. JWOWW asks what made him change, and he says he was exhausted and needed a change. They all toast to it. And drink. Irony. They head to the deck and relive Season 1. Is this whole thing going to be a recap season? Because this show was never good enough for an entire season of that. But Mike moves us forward by individually apologizing to everyone. Ron tells him that's what he's waiting for. Snooki thinks it was nice, but she interviews that she can't ever be close with him. And JWOWW tells him she's going to wait and see. He is cool with that. Mike congratulates Snooki, and someone makes a joke that they thought they were supposed to congratulate Vinny for that. Everyone laughs except Snooki. I guess she's the only one who can make inappropriate jokes about her pregnancy.
Later, they head to the Shore Store to visit Danny. It's all greetings and congrats to Snooki. He tells her he'll take it easy on her. When he didn't take it easy, she got away with sleeping at work, so maybe this season she won't have to show up at all.
Everyone gets ready for bed. No partying. Deena misses her boyfriend, who she says she's been with for nine months. Mike says not drinking and partying will be hard for him, because he's never done that here. At least he doesn't have to give up GTL, though. They get up in the morning to get that started. They all wake up before 9:30, which pisses Snooki off. She stomps around the house angry, because she'd really appreciate if all of these people would be hung-over so she could sleep in. She heads to the gym with the rest of them, though. JWOWW says this is a miracle for them all to be up and going to the gym. Now Snooki's sad that she can't work out as hard as everyone else because she's restricted. Mike tells Snooki she's glowing, which she thinks is awkward.
They go to tan, where Paula's working. Mike kisses her in public, which is a HUGE deal because this show is completely boring now. Snooki can't tan, which Vinny says is like a fish just staring at the ocean. Funniest part of the episode. Which is so sad. Pauly says he no longer has competition for being the tannest, because Snooki can't tan.
The girls are all out to eat and Deena breaks down crying. She just misses her boyfriend so much. They all talk her through it, because JWOWW and Snooki have both been there, done that. Sammi tells her she thought she'd gotten her period at the table and couldn't get up. Really? That is your first thought when a friend cries? Weird. Sam interviews that it's going to be a long summer. She's one to talk about other people's drama making this show boring. Not that she's wrong.
