On 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation,' the Situation and Vinny 2.0 get physical over Angelina

The dust up in the desert almost turned into a donnybrook.

Things became heated when Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino tried to mediate the conflict between Angelina Pivarnick and Sammi “Sweetheart” on the Thursday, May 2, episode of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.”

Mike took offense when Angelina’s boyfriend, Vinny “2.0” Tortorella, implied that both he and Angelina were making “dumb ass comments” in the room of the Tucson, Arizona, resort where the cast is decamping.

“If you knew what she filmed behind your back, you'd be pretty upset, too,” said Mike to Vinny 2.0. “If you knew what she filmed behind your back, you wouldn't be sitting there with your smug face.”

“I (blank) don’t have a smug face,” said Vinny 2.0.

Mike then grasped his worry stone, given to him by a shaman in the Arizona desert last episode, and brought it down a notch.

“I have a beautiful life, I have a beautiful family, beautiful friendships, also, sick Versace fit right now,” said Mike of his black and gold robe. “I'm looking too good right now to come out of character.”

Mike and Vinny 2.0 then proceeded to play wrestle to lessen the tension.

“What are you guys going to do next? (Blank) each other?” Angelina said.

“This is what happens when you don't plan any activities,” Deena opined. “Come on!”

Viewers got a little more clarity about when the Angelina and Sammi’s beef started. Blame it on the Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s charcuterie party that aired on the Sept. 14, 2023, episode. Angelina feels Sammi did not have her back when the rest of the cast teamed up on her.

“Why are you sulking about thee charcuterie party? That's all you have against what else?” Sammi said.

Angelina then brought her dog Peanut into the fight.

“I have no beef with Peanut,” Sammi said.

Things escalated earlier in the show after the roomies learned Angelina had publicly complained about Sammi in the comments of a "Jersey Shore" Instagram group post.

“Yup, I bring her back, she buys a home and then she bullies me,” Angelina commented.

“I have a store, Sweetheart Coast (on the Ocean City boardwalk) and Justin (May, her boyfriend) and I had jobs prior to coming back, so the fact that Angelina is acting like she really brought the house (in Pine Beach) out of her own pocket, it's mind blowing,” Sammi said.

Angelina is still upset about Sammi appearing in the TikTok video with Alexis Bawden, wife of New York Jets running back Nick Bawden, with whom Angelina is feuding.

“Sam is Miss TikTok because she thinks she got over on me with the TikTok giving clout to some (blank) who's been saying I DM'ed her husband,” Angelina said. “So thank you for that Sam, you're an (blank).”

“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” airs 8 p.m. Thursdays on MTV.
