Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola took her friends to the Wild Beaver Saloon in Nashville ahead of a looming reunion with her ex-boyfriend on Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on MTV.
The 37-year-old reality star during the season seven episode titled Music City Meatballs suggested the venue after learning during a family dinner that Ronnie, 38, would be arriving the next day.
‘I’m not relieved. I’m not anything. At this point, like, I just wanna get seeing Ron over with already. I’m just, like, tired of the anticipation,’ Sammi said in a confessional.
Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, 41, asked if they knew where they were going for the night and Deena Cortese, 37, said she wanted to hit the strip.
‘Actually, there’s a place that I’ve been to before that I think we should go to,’ Sammi said. ‘It’s called the Wild Beaver.’

Sammi said the bar in downtown Nashville has karaoke and a mechanical bull and the whole crew decided to go based on her recommendation.
‘I love the Wild Beaver. I’ve been here before for my sister’s bachelorette, and it’s always a good time,’ Sammi said in a confessional.
Deena was determined to redeem herself on the mechanical bull after falling off a bull the previous night while out partying.
‘I suck!,’ Deena declared after she got tossed quickly from the bull.
Mike checked in on Angelina Pivarnick, 37, who shared that she was doing better after arguing with her friends while dealing with issues with her birth father and fiancé.
‘It’s so good to see you smiling and see you dancing. You know what I mean?,’ Mike told Angelina who appreciated the support.
Vinny Guadagnino, 36, told Paul ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio, 43, that Mike had done so much tanning that he was blending into the wood wall background.
‘Mike used to fight the wall. Now he is the wall,’ Vinny said in a confessional as a flashback showed Mike infamously headbutting a wall during the original run of Jersey Shore on MTV.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in a preview of next week’s episode was shown meeting with Sammi again for the first time in nearly a decade
Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino, 41, revealed that Ronnie was coming the next day and asked about their plans for the night
‘Actually, there’s a place that I’ve been to before that I think we should go to,’ Sammi said. ‘It’s called the Wild Beaver’
‘I love the Wild Beaver. I’ve been here before for my sister’s bachelorette, and it’s always a good time,’ Sammi said in a confessional
Snooki forgot the words while singing karaoke and Deena screamed through a song with Angelina serving as a backup singer.
‘I freaking crushed it,’ Deena said in a confessional.
The Meatballs duo of Snooki and Deena, of course, stayed out late as the others went back.
‘I honestly think tonight is the best night we’ve had in a long time. Sam had such a good night. She didn’t let the Ron s*** get to her. But also, like, Ron’s coming tomorrow. Like, good night,’ Jennifer ‘JWoww’ Farley, 38, said in a confessional.
Mike the next morning told Pauly and Vinny that it was a ‘big day’ with the ‘Ron and Sam reunion’.

Vinny Guadagnino, 36, told Paul ‘DJ Pauly D’ DelVecchio, 43, that Mike had done so much tanning that he was blending into the wood wall background
‘I freaking crushed it,’ Deena said in a confessional of her karaoke singing
‘How do you feel about this?,’ Mike asked in a confessional.
‘Can you say awkward,’ Pauly said.
Vinny said it was ‘crazy’ that Ron and Sammi had not seen each other in nearly a decade.
‘I’m in a bad mood today,’ Sammi said while looking into a mirror.
‘So last night was so much fun. I’m exhausted. I got a little bit drunk. But I don’t really care for today and who’s coming. I’m not nervous. I just don’t care. I feel like everybody else is making this a bigger deal. But Ron has, like, no effect on me anymore. And that’s that. I’m not thinking about Ron at all,’ Sammi said in a confessional.

Pauly wondered what to wear to a ‘Ron and Sammi reunion’ and Vinny quipped that he was going to wear a tuxedo to make it more awkward.
‘So Sammi’s been saying she’s okay with being around Ron, but she is obviously doing everything she can to hold it together right now,’ Pauly said in a confessional.
Pauly agreed with Mike and Vinny that they both would be on their best behavior, but said it still was going to be ‘awkward’.
‘This is more than just a family vacation this time. This is like a family reunion. And this could end up being a disaster,’ Pauly said in a confessional.
The guys met up with the girls before going out to pick up Ron at the airport.

‘I feel like I might not even see Ron. I leave at 5,’ said Deena.
‘Maybe not,’ Pauly said.
‘Lucky you,’ Sammi said.
‘I have no idea what is in store for today. Like, I don’t wanna see Ron, but listen, I’m a team player here. They’re working on their friendship with him and, vice versa, him with them. So I will make it work for all my roommates so everybody can have fun, coexist, and that’s just it,’ Sammi said in a confessional.
Mike on the drive to the airport said it was a ‘big day’ for Ron.
‘Lucky you,’ Sammi said after Deena revealed she might miss seeing Ronnie
‘This right here is his second chance. What he does with it is up to him,’ Mike said.
A preview of the next episode showed Ron finally meeting Sammi again.
‘Hi, Sam,’ Ron said.
Sammi was not shown responding as the preview concluded.
Mike earlier in the episode engaged in another display of gluttony by taking on a food-eating challenge at Dick’s Last Resort.

He felt sick afterward and bowed out of a boat excursion and Vinny joined him.
The girls went on a saloon pontoon and partied on the water while Mike and Vinny made dinner while waiting for Pauly to arrive.
Ronnie called and told them he was coming the next day and Mike later broke the news over dinner.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will return next week on MTV.
