What is happening with the greatest sociological experiment of our time? Everyone is getting along. Sammi and Ronnie aren't fighting. The Situation isn't being a dick. Everyone is getting along. It's so...so...boring.
Yes, last night continued the trend of lackluster episodes of this latest phase of our experiment. Yet again, we don't have any new vocabulary words to study and there isn't any new or revelatory behavior (except with the Bunny Suit) to investigate. It's just kind of lame.
It's like a guido working at the Shore Store—lots of lying around, and not much action. In fact, Bossman Danny finally gets pissed that Sitch has ditched the house and Vinny is hiding out in Staten Island. He even threatens to find some new roommates. After a few girls interview for the position, JWOWW goes and rips down the help wanted sign.
The thing about this experiment is that it is no longer about looking at guidos, but about looking at famous guidos, but trying to pretend they're not famous (as brilliant described by fellow Jersey scientist Patti Greco). JWOWW and co are pissed about the prospect of a new roommate because they don't want someone coming along getting $100K an episode like they do without paying their dues. They don't want to have to share the spotlight with anyone new. That's what this whole argument is about, they just find new ways to talk about keeping it "in the family" and whatnot. It's really all about the cash.
