Jersey Shore Family Vacation: Mike the Situation's baptism makes a splash with roomies

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino made a splash on the Thursday, Feb. 10, episode of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.”

He was baptized. Anyway, we think he was baptized.

Mike was dunked in a tub of water by Uncle Nino at his Holmdel home as the cast, a choir, and the show's cameramen and sound crew looked on. Mike needed to be baptized as the church where he was originally baptized lost his records, according to the show, and he needed proof as his baby Romeo's baptism is coming up.

“Sometimes the Lord sends a sinner to do His work,” said Mike of Uncle Nino.

“That's right,” Uncle Nino said.

Mike wore white athletic clothes and a red, white and green wristband on his forearm. He had previously named Pauly D. DelVecchio and Jenni “JWoww” Farley as his godparents.

Pauly D hired a gospel choir to serenade Mike.

“This is exactly why Pauly D was my choice for godfather,” Mike said. “If I had chosen Vinny he probably would have been on the side eating bacon, OK, and doing some sort of stand-up routine and then he would have done the worm.”

Vinny did indeed do the worm after the baptism.

Uncle Nino incoherently read a blessing and crudely referred to Mike's private parts as he sat in the water.

“Who blessed this water?” asked Deena Cortese. “Uncle Nino blessed this water? Good luck, Mike.”

All that is required for a baptism to be valid is the pouring of water over the head of the person, or the immersion of the person in water, and the words “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” recited by a person who is a member of the church, according to learnreligions.com.

We're not quite that entirely happened in Holmdel. This dunking might of been more sacrilegious than sacred, but it was fun to watch.

The cast released doves afterwards.

“They'll come back to my house,” said keeper of the doves, who lives in Toms River, 34 miles away. “They know where to go. They have a microchip on their little band and when they fly in the window at home, it'll scan into a computer so it'll tell us what number came home at what time.”

On the topic of flying away, Mike's probation period relating to his tax fraud sentence has ended and he's received in passport back. He's looking to book a vacation with the roomies.

“I'm looking in between Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas,” Mike said. The Isla Bella Beach Resort in the Florida Keys has their own version of chicken tenders called conch fritters.

“This one could be us,” Mike said.

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