She did her best to escalate matters in Ronnie's confrontation with the guy last season who kept telling him to go back to Staten Island. Ronnie was trying hard to walk away from the provocation, but Sammi kept responding to it, which eventually led to Ronnie punching the guy out.

Sammi was a lot more interesting last year when she was a horrible shrew doing her best to live up to the second half of her self-billing as "the sweetest bitch you'll ever meet." This year, she's a lot more boring as the downtrodden emotional punching bag, but still not sympathetic enough for us to care about her.

Her first three albums starting with Y Kant Tori Read? Or do you mean her second, third, and fourth albums?

To be fair, JWoww looked almost classy in her little black dress tonight. But yeah, at least half of her femininity has been achieved though plastic surgery, so she can't really point the finger.

All the cool kids say "ROOA" for "Running out of aphorisms" now.
An aphorism is a pithy saying, like, "A Sammi Sweetheart at home is worth two sluts in the club." With regard to such things as "DTS" and "MVP", you're probably thinking of acronyms (although technically, they aren't — they're initialisms).

I assume the so-called tranny's face was blurred out at least partly so that the TV audience wouldn't see that she was probably not a tranny, but jsut a woman wearing a choker and gloves.

You don't need a black woman on SNL so long as you have a black man available to dress up as a woman. This has been standard operating practice for some time, and apparently never stops being funny in and of itself.

I haven't seen it but …
The movie has to be at least less annoying than the book because there isn't a word italicized for emphasis in every single sentence.

You can hate on Katy Perry in a lot of ways, but don't hate on her for the spelling of the second word in "California Gurls". It's a tribute to the late Alex Chilton, who wrote "September Gurls".

JWoww was surprisingly awesome in that answering message scene.

I loved when the Situation dropped dinner right after blaming Snooki for dropping the previous dinner
No one in this house seems able to put things in a refrigerator correctly. That fridge must be full of precariously teetering stacks of plates and bowls.

When I first saw the commercial for this, I started shouting, "No! … no! no! no! NO!!!" until my girlfriend woke up and yelled at me because she thought the dog must be throwing up or something was on fire. I still think my reaction was appropriate.

Count me as another who read, but never watched, C.H.O.M.P.S.

California Gurls
She may take a critical drubbing elsewhere, but Katy Perry gets a pass from me for three reasons (or four, depending on your perspective). The first is of course, her magnificent sweater puppies. The second is that she named her cat "Kitty Purry". And the third is that she (at her manager's…

Definitely check out I Am the Cosmos. It's basically the fourth Big Star album.

In the last strip, Cathy finally meets someone on the Internet willing to fulfill her longtime fantasy of being sexually murdered by a stranger.

What mean "expendable"?
It's like someone invites you to a party and you don't show up … it doesn't really matter.

Deny, deny, deny
Ronnie keeps espousing the "deny, deny, deny" strategy, but Angelina put on an absolute clinic in this episode in repeatedly and audaciously claiming that the Situation and Pauly D were making up everything that she did while blackout drunk.

The inevitable Ronnie-Sammi murder-suicide seems like it'll be a pretty sobering occasion, if not a jump-the-shark moment.

Ronnie's tattoo
When Ronnie and Sammi walked into the tattoo parlor, I was literally begging them to get matching RONNIE AND SAMMI FOREVER tattoos. You just know that Ronnie would carve her name off his arm in a fit of rage in the next episode, only to have it re-tattooed onto the scar tissue in the one after that.
