This week on Jersey Shore, Pauly D and The Situation both celebrate their birthdays, even though everyone misses Vinny. 

After Vinny left Pauly D went to Karma to break the news to all the roommates. Of course everyone was really sad to hear the news. Deena actually started crying. 

The meatballs decided to day drink the next day in honor of Vinny. These two and day drinking never go well. They met these awesome gay guys, but then things went south when Snooki partied a little too hard and could barely walk without the gay men holding her up. Luckily she wasn’t drunk enough to get arrested so nobody had to bust out their “Free Snooki” shirts. Somehow the meatballs ended up at another bar having a dance off with some random dudes. 

The dance off was so intense that when Deena got home Pauly D had to start ripping her weave out because her entire head of hair was one big bee hive. 

Everyone went back to Karma again that night and Pauly D found a blonde chick covered in tattoos that he brought home to smush in Vinny’s bed to honor Vinny. What a lovely bromance those two have. 

Ronnie called Vinny the next day and passed the phone around so everyone could talk to him. They all really miss Vinny. Even so, everyone had to go out to celebrate Pauly and Mike’s birthdays. 

At work The Situation had met a girl from Bosnia and she ended up being at the bar so she started putting the moves on him. Mike’s go-to girl Paula was also there so he ended up taking her home. The Bosnian chick saw this and moved on to Pauly D, so he brought her home instead. 

When they all got home the Bosnian girl didn’t even want to hook up with Pauly. She just wanted to “talk,” so Pauly D called her a cab. What guy wants to talk on his birthday? This girl literally leaves and then comes back asking for The Situation. Too bad Paula was still there. For the second time the Bosnian chick left, but I have a strong feeling this won’t be the last time we see her. 

On Pauly and Mike’s actual birthday, Pauly’s entire family, and even his bartender, surprised him at the house. They took him and the rest of the boys out for dinner. It was extremely sad to see that nobody really cared it was also Mike’s birthday. He didn’t have anyone come out to surprise him. He ended up leaving the table at dinner and just passed out on a couch in the restaurant. Everyone heard him snoring so they started putting icing on him until he finally woke up.

To make matters worse the girls baked a birthday cake and only wrote Pauly’s name on it. That was the final straw for Mike. The poor guy feels completely left out and disrespected. He ended up outside by himself crying. Can you blame him?
