The Return Of Big Daddy Sitch: 5 Things We've Missed About Mike On Jersey Shore

Soon after eight way-too-long months away, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is about to prepare his grand return to the Jersey Shore. And we couldn't be more ready.


We're not the only ones — in the words of Vinny in the latest Jersey Shore: Family member Vacation sneak peek, "Every family is residence It's safe to say the Sitch missed a lot while serving his prison sentence: the birth of another meatball, Vinny's latest career endeavor regarding c*ck socks, Ronnie's stint in rehab, plus a not-so-single JWOWW, just to name a couple of. And honestly? We missed the hell out of him... For more reasons than one. Let's count the ways:

1. 
   
   He reminds us to live our best lives.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Be it by categorizing four diet soders or two of every item on the menu, BDS doesn't half-ass anything, not even Funfetti cakes. He goes all in once it comes to living his best life, and we love him for it.
   
   
   
   
   



2. 
   
   He's not ashamed of his metro status.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Mike's day-to-day preening routine is on point and pretty much puts Angelina's face full o' makeup to shame. And right now that he's coming back more ripped than ever (we've seen your Instagram, Sitch), he's liable to put even more time into his BMP (barber, mask, pedicure) regimen.
   
   
   
   
   



3. 
   
   The way he loves Lauren.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Mike and Lauren are serious relationship objectives, and we can't get enough of those two lovebirds. Frankly, we also just love Lauren. And more Mike equals more Laurens — it's simple math.
   
   
   
   
   



4. 
   
   He's a total inspiration.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   More than just a clever moniker, Mike's inspiration status is a stimulating reminder that you really can change for the better, whether dedicating yourself to a life of sobriety or simply by being a higher end friend.
   
   
   
   
   



5. 
   
   He's a good friend.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Speaking of companions, BDS has come a long way from fallouts with Snooki and head-butting flawlessly innocent concrete walls. He continually shows up for his Jersey Shore fam, and it's safe to mention that they have really needed him as of late.
