Season 3 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was full of drama, laughs, and surprises. The show, which premiered on MTV in 2018, follows the lives of a group of friends who first met on the original Jersey Shore series in 2009. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what happened in Season 3.
The Cast
The cast of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation remains largely the same as previous seasons. It includes:
- Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino
- Pauly D
- Vinny Guadagnino
- Ronnie Ortiz-Magro
- Jenni “JWoww” Farley
- Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi
- Deena Cortese
- Angelina Pivarnick (who rejoined the cast in Season 2)
The Drama
As with any season of Jersey Shore, drama was never far away. One of the biggest storylines this season involved Ronnie, who had recently broken up with his girlfriend Jen Harley.
The two have a volatile relationship and their problems spilled over into the show. Ronnie was arrested for domestic violence after an altercation with Jen and had to leave filming to deal with legal issues.
Another major storyline involved Angelina’s wedding. She married her longtime boyfriend Chris Larangeira during filming and tensions were high between her and some of the other cast members leading up to the big day. There were disagreements over bridesmaid dresses and seating arrangements, but ultimately everyone came together to celebrate Angelina’s special day.
The Laughs
Despite all the drama, there were still plenty of laughs to be had in Season 3. One of the funniest moments came when the group took a trip to Las Vegas.
Pauly D and Vinny decided to prank the rest of the cast by hiring actors to pretend to be a couple that they had gotten into a fight with. The rest of the cast fell for it hook, line, and sinker, leading to some hilarious moments.
Another funny moment came when Snooki and Deena decided to give Angelina a “dirty” bachelorette party. They took her to a male strip club and made her wear a sash that said “bride-to-be.” The whole thing was ridiculous but provided some much-needed comic relief.
The Surprises
Season 3 also had its fair share of surprises. One of the biggest came in the form of Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s sentencing hearing.
Mike had pleaded guilty to tax evasion and was facing up to five years in prison. In a shocking turn of events, he was sentenced to just eight months in prison, with his brother receiving two years.
Another surprise came during the season finale when Snooki announced that she was quitting the show. She cited her desire to spend more time with her family as the reason for her departure. Fans were disappointed but understood Snooki’s decision.
The Bottom Line
Overall, Season 3 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation was another wild ride for fans of the show. With drama, laughs, and surprises around every corner, it’s no wonder that viewers keep coming back for more. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just tuning in for the first time, there’s never a dull moment on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
