Anyone who doubts the drama on “Jersey Shore” is real needed only to be at the Beachcomber Bar and Grill in Seaside Heights recently.Most of the gang had gathered there to film a promo to run before and during the final-season premiere, which airs Thursday at 10 p.m.
And their behind-the-scenes behavior would have been familiar to fans who fell in love with the cast members’ quirks over the past three years.
Vinny was on the lookout for hot girls, Deena was getting overly emotional, and Mike was sitting apart from the rest of his roommates.
Before fiming began, Mike (The Situation) Sorrentino, Vinny Guadagnino, Sammi Giancola, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Deena Cortese relaxed in a room above the bar, while a flock of young extras awaited their arrival downstairs.
“Vinny asked me how things were looking down there,” said Michael Carbone, owner of the Beachcomber, where Nicole (Snooki) Polizzi famously got punched in the face by a guy in season one. “I said, ‘Vinny, the pickins are slim.’”
Apparently, Guadagnino has gotten over his vow of celibacy, which he announces in episode two of the upcoming sixth season, which was shot over the summer.
“Sometimes you just need a change,” he tells the Daily News. “We spent all five seasons doing one thing, and that was just girls, girls, girls.
“So I got to a point where I wanted to see what else is there in life,” Guadagnino adds. “I don’t want to get my mind clouded by sex. So I was kind of like, let’s see if there’s more out there and if I can be something else other than a man-whore.”
Sorrentino then left the bar for a while before filming for the promo began, saying jet lag had left him not feeling well.
His castmates insist there’s no bad blood, and say they got closer than ever to him in season six.
The season starts with Sorrentino recently out of rehab for substance abuse. While driving to Seaside Heights, he announces that he probably hasn’t come over the bridge sober since the first summer.
Wanting to do something nice for his roommates, he stocks up on food and cooks them a huge meal, apologizing to everyone for problems he caused.
“I didn’t know if they were going to realize, hey, he rehabilitated himself and he looks great and sounds good,” Sorrentino tells The News. “You have to sometimes walk the walk rather than talk the talk. So I really wanted to go into the house and show them how I was and tell them the stories firsthand.”
Sorrentino says he decided to seek help after realizing he had trouble getting through simple appearances.
