Jersey Shore: Family Vacation: Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola breaks the Internet after MTV posts about her retur

Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola broke the Internet after MTV posted on social media that she was back on Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

The 36-year-old reality star surprised her roommates when she arrived at their weekend getaway in The Poconos after an 11-year hiatus and was welcomed back with open arms.

‘Yo, my Twitter is lit right now, man,’ said Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, 41, as the group settled down after dinner.

Mike in a confessional noted that MTV tweeted about Sammi returning.

‘And Gym Tan Sam’s back,’ said Mike as he read MTV’s post out loud.

‘I retweeted that s***, too,’ said Paul ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio, 43.

The roommates were shown on their phones as the screen was filled with social media posts on March 11 about Sammi returning.

‘Lit,’ Mike said.

‘Oh, damn. People are like, ”Wait, what?”,’ Pauly said. ‘This is gonna go viral.’

A counter showed more than 11 million likes for the post about Sammi returning.

‘Wait, Sam, do you know Sam’s back?,’ Pauly joked with Sammi.

‘MVP Sam photo. Let’s go,’ Mike said.

Sammi then teamed up for a photo with Mike, Pauly and Vinny Guadagnino, 35.

Pauly while catching up with Sammi shared that he has been with his girlfriend Nikki Hall, 31, for three years.

‘If you’ve been with Nikki for three years, do you see yourself, like, doing all that stuff, like, getting married or having kids or any of that?,’ Sammi later asked Pauly.

‘I don’t know. It does seem like so much pressure,’ Pauly said.

‘We’re just enjoying the moment, and going through that. And whatever happens happens I feel. I hate, like the labels and all that. It’s, like, weird,’ he added.

‘I like that,’ Sammi said.

Vinny and Sammi easily resumed their friendship during dinner after she revealed her new boyfriend Justin May used to bounce and bartend at the Karma club.

‘I swear I recognized him,’ said Jennifer ‘JWoww’ Farley, 37, as the cast got a kick out of the connection.

Sammi revealed that Justin told her that he carried Deena Cortese, 36, out of the club before.

‘Stop it!,’ said Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, 35, as the roommates laughed.

‘Well, Sam, you do have a type,’ quipped Vinny in reference to her ex-boyfriend Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, 37. ‘Insert guy here. You have a type.’

‘Was that a shot? Shots fired?,’ Mike said.

‘To me, you come off, like, a little bit annoying,’ Sammi told Vinny.

The table erupted in laughter as Sammi put Vinny in his place.

‘See, I don’t even know if Sammi really understands. There’s a word for what Vinny is, and that’s “Chooch”,’ Pauly said in a confessional. ‘I need to teach her that.’

Sammi teased Vinny for turning red in embarrassment.

‘It’s all starting to come back to me. Like, I make fun of her. She makes fun of me back,’ Vinny said in a confessional.

The season six episode titled Just Like Old Times also featured Angelina Pivarnick, 37, making up with Deena after standing up to her during the heated reunion in a threatening manner.

Snooki also told Angelina that she overreacted when she charged at Deena during the reunion.

Angelina explained to Deena hat she was hurt over their reaction to her sudden engagement in New Orleans and Deena said she was legitimately scared that Angelina was going to attack her during the reunion.

They apologized and agreed to move forward, but Angelina did not find any resolution with Jenni as they continued to avoid each other.

‘I don’t want a sit-down and I don’t want an apology. I’m trying to just move forward without drama,’ Jenni said in a confessional.

Pauly also worked on an elaborate UFO prank involving drones to maintain his reputation as prank war champion.

He was happy with a UFO conversation that broke out in which Mike said he believed that aliens come from the oceans and/or the inner Earth.

‘I think they’re also from the oceans, but also from above,’ Sammi said.

A flashback showed Deena in 2011 also talking to JWoww about aliens.

‘We’re in the middle of the woods, so I’m going to get a whole drone package to light up the sky that will look like UFOs. So the plan is in motion,’ Pauly said in a confessional.

Pauly also enlisted the help of the production crew to help him pull off the UFO prank.

‘Prank war champion,’ Pauly told himself after the production crew agreed to help out.

The original Jersey Shore became a cultural phenomenon when it first aired on MTV and thrust all of its stars into fame.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will return next week on MTV.
