The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cast can’t believe Vinny Guadagnino has found a connection.
In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Thursday, August 21, episode of MTV’s reality show, Vinny, 37, continues to spend time in Jamaica with a new friend named Eileen.
As he begins playing an innocent game of patty cake, some of the cast can’t believe what they are witnessing.
“Vinny’s date ideas are definitely, like, preschooly,” Deena Nicole Cortese shares. “Who knows? He might pull her hair next and run after her like someone does on the playground.”
The Cast of ‘Jersey Shore’: Where Are They Now?
When Vinny tries to play a new game he calls “bunny bunny,” Angelina Pivarnick can’t believe what she’s seeing — and hearing.
“Vinny will never get laid if he keeps it up with this patty cake and bunny bunny,” she says in a confessional. “It’s, like, a little cringe honestly.”
After capturing video of Vinny’s antics, Angelina, 39, shares the footage in a group text. What comes next are honest reactions fans come to expect from the Jersey Shore crew.
“Vinny lives up to his name,” Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino says. “He is the biggest chooch that ever chooched.” (Chooch is a term the cast has used to describe a fool or a stubborn person.)
Pauly D adds, “I feel like our work here is done. We found this guy love.”
Before anyone gets too confident that Vinny has found a match, the self-proclaimed guido admits he may be enjoying a little too much alcohol on the trip.
“When I drink liquor, I just start acting, like, crazy,” he says before playing “Come on Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners in honor of his new friend. “You never know where my mind is going to go when you mix a little alcohol into it.”
Vinny has been open about his journey into finding love. For three seasons, he searched for a girlfriend on the MTV reality show Double Shot at Love.
Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?
More recently, the Jersey Shore cast put on a dating game show for Vinny while they were on vacation in Jamaica. During the event, Vinny — who has previously confessed to being a mama’s boy — was introduced to Eileen.
“Everyone knows I’m single. I’m perpetually single,” Vinny told Page Six in May 2024 before clarifying that he’s still “hopeful” he’ll “find something a little more serious soon.”
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
