Episode Report Card DeAnn Welker: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Shocker!
By DeAnn Welker | Season 6 | Episode 8 | Aired on 11.08.2012
Snooki shows up to get Jenni and Sam for work. Snooki says Danny's just annoying when they're late, because he says it all shift. Jenni takes responsibility for being late and then puts on her makeup while she works. Danny says he's not talking to them, because he's mad at them. He harps on them about offering shot glasses and on and on. Jenni makes a deal with Danny that she can leave as soon as she sells all 108 of his shot glasses -- and she has to stay until they're sold. She pushes them and sells them all, and Danny gives her a congratulatory high-five.
Deena and Mike are apparently planning a double date with their significant others, and Mike gives her props for the good idea. Paula calls and agrees to come over. They call each other "babe" and "sweetheart." So she apparently hasn't seen the grinding footage yet.
Shift ends at the Shore Store and the girls decide to stop at the arcade. The stuffed animal machine is open, so Nicole steals a leopard. Jenni says only Nicole would do that. Snooki: "I'm scared! My heart's beating!" Wait. Is that not normal? Jenni says that she doesn't want to see a mug shot of Snooki 7 months pregnant for stealing a stuffed animal.
Chris shows up for his date, and they head to Deena's room. She tells him that the roommates are annoying her because they are telling her she's clingy to him and doesn't he like that? He says he doesn't like her calling at 4 in the morning, but she's supposed to be a little clingy. Paula shows up and Deena tells us how cute Paula is ("a mix of porn star, but girl next door") and how great she is for Mike. They head out on their double date, which apparently blows Mike's mind. He never thought he'd be wifed up and double-dating.
They joke at dinner about how this is an adjustment period for him, being in a relationship. Mike gets embarrassed at things that Paula says and he worries she's auditioning to be a Meatball, but Meatballs are not ladylike and don't have manners. Paula and Deena head out to smoke together. Mike drinks water and tells us how much he's trying, because he'd normally pull the chute immediately. While they're gone, Mike tells Chris he's not used to this and he likes seeing her for 10 seconds at the tanning salon. He wonders if this will subside, because he isn't sure he can handle it. This is so sad. He is like a 15-year-old in his first awkward relationship. It makes me uncomfortable. Chris tells him those things won't go away. Mike says he doesn't want her to change for him, but some of these things are turning him off. Outside, the girls talk about how comfortable they are with their guys, but Paula says she'll never talk about poop with him. Inside, Mike says that if you're too comfortable together, someone will walk away. Then they ride rides and it's not clear why, but Paula yells and hand-signs about the shocker. Mike tells us this is extremely embarrassing.
