Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino

It can be hard to stay fresh to death in the dead of winter.

No one can see your biceps under all those layers, and there's just something weird about being super tan with a foot of snow on the ground.

We don't usually look to MTV reality shows for heartwarming stories of redemption, but Mike Sorrentino's road to recovery is some truly inspirational stuff.

After years of substance abuse and truly revolting behavior, Sorrentino got sober and really turned his life around.

This is a very interesting time in the lives of the men and women who make up the iconic cast of Jersey Shore.

Against all odds, they're still starring on a hit reality show as they enter their forties.

We all know that family vacations can be soul-crushingly dull experiences, but when it premiered back in 2018, Jersey Shore Family Vacation promised a different type of experience.

After all, this wasn't just any old family -- this was the band of housemates who created some of reality TV's most memorable moments during the show's original run!

The words "chicken tendies" have never sounded so ominous!

If you've been keeping up with the latest Jersey Shore drama, you know that Angelina Pivarnick is in deep doo-doo because of a neighbor who alleges that she's been tossing her McNuggets all over the cul de sac.

We've got ourselves a situation, Jersey Shore fans.

Or, to be more specific, we've got ourselves a cute, adorable, brand new Situation.

As you've likely heard by now, Jersey Shore star Ronnie Magro is in trouble with the law once again.

Magro was arrested on domestic violence charges in Los Angeles last week following an incident involving his girlfriend, Saffire Matos.

We love a secret filming location this time of year!

Maybe you were bored to tears by the quarantine edition of Jersey Shore Family Vacation and you want the cast to redeem themselves.

Break out the Funfetti cake and lay out 40 pounds of heavily salted snacks -- The Situation has a BIG reason to celebrate!

Over the weekend, Big Daddy Sitch revealed that he's reached a major milestone in his never-ending path toward self-improvement.

Given the fact that 2020 has felt like 15 crappy years rolled into one, it's hard to believe that Angelina Pivarnick's wedding was just 13 months ago.

Maybe that's why the quaranined guidos had such difficulty with the timeline on Thursday's episode of Jersey Shore.

The world of reality television has never offered us a comeback story as compelling as that of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.

A phrase like "the comeback is always greater than the setback" might sound corny in most cases, but coming from The Sitch, it has the unmistakable ring of truth.

It looks like the "G" in "GTL" now stands for gender reveal!

Yes, it's been a long and difficult road for Mike Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce, but now, the favorite couple of Jersey Shore fans is finally getting the happy ending they so richly deserve.

We've got a developing Situation, folks.

And we mean that almost literally.

Are you ready to spend the holidays with the fam?

So asks MTV in the first promo for Jersey Shore; Family Vacation Season 4, which is set to return this fall with new episodes.

Americans were faced with a whole host of challenges in 2020, but surely, when future historians look back on this year, they'll unanimously conclude that we rose to the occasion.

Sure, we didn't cure Covid-19 or address the problem of police brutality in any meaningful way, but against all odds, we made another season of Jersey Shore happen!

Few reality stars can boast of a life story more inspirational than that of Mike Sorrentino.

But even the greatest of comebacks is bound to face a few setbacks ...

There was a time, not even all that long ago, when the Jersey Shore cast only cared about three things:

Doing laundry. Getting a tan. And going to the gym.

Even following a season that featured a prison release, an arrest for domestic violence and the most controversial wedding reception speech in reality TV history, many thought this was it for Jersey Shore.

In its reboot seasons, Jersey Shore has occasionally tested the limits of viewers' patience with filler episodes in which next to nothing transpires.

But while we've lowered our expectations from the show's wilder days, we never thought we'd see the day when a meeting with a prenup lawyer is considered a storyline.
