Meatball's Return: Will The Family Vacation Dynamic Change Now That Deena Is Back?

Rejoice, Shore lovers, 'cause the (other) meatball has returned!


Nevertheless before we raise a glass, there's just one thing: The last time the Jersey Shore crew was all under one roof for family vacation (brief Seaside Heights weekend aside), things got a little bit. Saucy, to mention the least. Angelina was sharting and shaking things up, Ronnie was spiraling into French fries, and Deena (bless her sensitive soul) was being unnecessarily shoved into swimming pools. Right now that the latter is expecting a mini meatball of her own, her upbeat presence has been notably absent from vacation.


"I do miss Deena. I mean, she is a meatball," Vinny shared. "She raises the spirits and, especially having Angelina here with us, I feel the void even more."


That's once the roomies determined to evoke their inner Mission: Impossible by kidnapping Deener (and her baby bump). While the girls wanted to lure their friend outdoor with pastries and peonies, the guys suggested trash bags, tasers and also a creepy van. Neither plan panned out though, and alternatively, we got Vinny in pantyhose.


When the time came to do the deed, Deena was fully willing, with just a couple of conditions: Her own smush-free bedroom and her own washroom (keep out, Ronnie -- and your plunger too).


Fast-forward to the gang's first family member dinner with Deena, and the table-side chatter quickly spiraled from the normal (Ron's life) to inappropriate territory, all thanks to Angelina and her fake breasts. Apparently, somebody needs to get "pounded out" (close your ears, Baby Meatball!) -- And we'll give you one solid guess who. Here's a hint: She's on her third engagement.


Sex talk (and Angelina-Vinny shenanigans) aside, how will the roommates get along right now that they're all back with each other? Give us your best predictions, then tune in to an all-new Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation Part 2 next Thursday at 8/7c.
