Snooki & JWoww[]
Season 1[]
JWoww wanted to have her last hurrah before her 30s, and planed to move-in with her best friend Snooki. She cleared it with her boyfriend Roger first, but he wasn't entirely onboard. After finally finding an apartment in a renovated firehouse, Snooki breaks her news to Jenni - she's engaged and pregnant. Snooki asked her to be the baby's godmother, and she happily agreed. Nonetheless, she was nervous to live with a pregnant girl.
They decorated the apartment, adjusted to living together, and Snooki went for an ultrasound with Jionni and Jenni. With her mind at ease over a healthy baby, she decided to invite the shoremates to their new apartment to tell them her news. She was disappointed in their reactions, but in the end, they supported her.
The girls prepped for their housewarming party and fended off their creepy former handyman. Jenni had a blast at the party and drank a lot. She was embarrassed by Roger though, who dropped several sexual comments near her father. Roger also made a point of bringing up them not having sex. Snooki's gay friend Joey kept the party entertained with a near-naked drunk spray tan courtesy of Jenni.
The next day, Snooki and JWoww head to K9 Garden to get JWoww's dogs into obedience training. They barked too much and refused to be house trained. Snooki decided to volunteer there, which confused Jenni, since she knew Nicole didn't like cleaning up after dogs. Jenni took a cooking class to further her skills - which were none. Jenni befriended a girl and invited her out for drinks with Snooki. Snooki was cold toward the girl at first, but they all got along by the end.
One day, Jenni answered a call from a furious Roger who had learned through tabloids that Jenni was being sued. He was upset she had lied to him about that and her past. He went off on the phone with her, which made her upset. She didn't do anything wrong and insisted she didn't know about the lawsuit until now, but he didn't believe her. She questioned their relationship.
The girls headed to Cancun for a girls weekend with Ryder and Jenni's friend, though Snooki wasn't thrilled with how things went. She couldn't drink or party. Jenni gave her "preggers day" where they went to the zoo and saw lots of animals. While at a club, a brawl broke out and Jenni got elbowed in the eye. Snooki was afraid of being hit and losing the baby. She accused Jenni of suddenly "becoming fun" when Nicole was pregnant. This annoyed Jenni, who knew Nicole was always too drunk to remember Jenni's fun side. The girls began to clash as Jenni thought Nicole was using her pregnancy as an excuse not to have fun.
The next day at the hotel, JWoww planned to go out partying with the other girls, but Snooki didn't want that. She felt alone and pregnant. She questioned living with Jenni and looked forward to leaving. Jenni came to have fun and didn't want to be brought down by "that". She partied and lived her best life in Cancun. However, once back in Jersey, Jenni had a fight with Roger that left their relationship on the edge. Snooki supported Jenni and went with her to a cooking class.
They stalked Jionni and Roger online to see how their night out went. They were angry to see pictures of their men with other girls. Jenni was still mad from a phone call she had with Roger where he claimed she deserved her ex-boyfriend, Tom, among other insults. She was beyond hurt by this and didn't see herself getting over it. He insisted on coming over the next day. Jenni and Roger worked through some of their issues in a screaming match, but at the end of the day, they loved each other. Jenni called Jionni and convinced him to come over. Snooki dressed up nicely, apologized, and took him out for his birthday.
Jenni bought Snooki a lifelike baby doll so she could practice being a mother. Snooki took her role as a "mother" to the doll very seriously, though Jenni abandoned her own doll quickly. Snooki, Jenni, Snooki's mom, and Jionni went to an ultrasound and learned they were expecting a boy. After finding out the gender, Snooki felt she should be with Jionni for the rest of her pregnancy, not Jenni. The girls agreed to move out of their apartment. To make sure the boys were ready for the next phase of their relationships, the girls decided to "switch" boyfriends for the evening and "interrogate" them to make sure they had good intentions. Jenni made sure Jionni loved Snooki despite the fame and money, would have married her anyway, and was ready for this next step.
The girls had the boys pack up their apartment and they said goodbye. They knew they'd see each other in a couple days or talk on the phone later that day. Jenni planned to move back in with Roger down south and see if they could work things out.
Season 2[]
Jenni and Roger lived together in Toms River while she worked on getting him to propose. She helped Nicole make a baby registry and hung out with her best friend rather frequently. Roger and Jenni had a party to watch a UFC fight that featured Roger's friend Frankie Edgar. After drama getting the Pay Per View to work, they screamed Frankie on and were devastated when he lost to split decision. This put a damper on the party. Roger and Jenni's friend Yanice argued to the point where Roger left and didn't come home the next day. Jenni was worried but attended Nicole's baby shower anyway. When Roger did come home, Jenni revealed her plan to distance herself from Yanice.
Jenni told Gay Joey and her friends that she wanted an engagement ring above anything else, and began to drop not-so-subtle hints to Roger.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation[]
Season 1[]
In the years since Season 6, Jenni married Roger and they had two children together. She remained best friends with Nicole. The roommates headed to Miami for their first family vacation in five years. In pure Prank War Champion style, Pauly surprised the fam with the "Sam doll", meant to fill in for the missing Sammi Sweetheart. The doll was complete with a t-shirt that said "I'm in a really good place" (Sam's reason for not joining the series), a voice box with her catchphrases installed, and a brunette wig. Because Mike couldn't make it the first night because of his court hearing, Jenni and the roomies had their first night in Miami without him.
To celebrate Mike's return and the family all being together, they went for a nice dinner. Jenni tried to wrangle in Nicole and Deena to no luck. Everyone acknowledged Mike's sobriety and the changes he made in his life. Ron initially came for Mike and called him out for being a bad guy, but then agreed to see if this new Mike was real.
Things went well for the group, aside from Ronnie clogging all the toilets in the house. On the third night, Vinny confronted Nicole about never being able to be near him. The situation escalated into a fight between them, and spiraled into a fight with Jenni when she tried to smooth things over. Nicole was worried all the talk about her past relationship with Vinny would "ruin her marriage" with Jionni. She packed her things and planned to leave. Jenni gave up on the conversation after their fight, as she didn't like being called an idiot and a bad friend. she wanted Nicole to own up to the past and be honest with Vinny, which included establishing the boundaries. After a while, Nicole asked Pauly to get Jenni, and the girls instantly mended their friendship.
Jenni tried to play matchmaker at the club for Pauly, as he was the only single one in the house. Her plan backfired when Ronnie brought the girls back too. Pauly, Ronnie, and Vinny got in the hot tub with four girls. Jenni knew the situation wasn't going to end well, recalled her fight with Sam over Ron's cheating, and went to bed. She learned the extent of Ron's cheating the next day.
In the morning, Pauly set-up a yacht for the whole family - which included Ron and Nicole who spiraled the night before. Pauly and Vinny rode jet skis together. After, Mike revealed to the roomies that he wanted to propose to Lauren. They toasted to him and Lauren, and ignored Ronnie's comment about not wanting to marry Jen anytime soon. The roomies tried to go out for dinner but Ron held everyone up to try and call Jen, which irritated Jenni. At the restaurant, Jenni learned from the rest of the roommates what was happening with Ron. Things got worse for Ron when he learned about an Instagram account that had videos of what he did at the club. When Jen finally answered, Ronnie quickly ratted himself out.
Vinny, Pauly, and Jenni went to the barber the next day so the boys could get their very specific looks. Jenni teased Vinny and called him dramatic when the haircut didn't come out the way he wanted. The boys went out for boys night, which was crashed by Deena, while Nicole and Jenni presumably stayed home.
The morning after was dedicated to "gym, tan, laundry, haircut" to fix Vinny's jacked-up haircut. After they got back, Ron prepared for Jen's arrival and for her to meet the roommates. Jenni and Nicole asked Ron a series of basic questions about Jen, and realized he didn't know anything about her. After, the girls went for lunch and talked about Jen's impending visit. They wondered how much Ron told Jen about his cheating, as they viewed it as such. Jenni believed that it didn't matter what he didn't do, because after he closed the bathroom door, he did everything. Nicole and Deena wondered if they should tell Jen the rest, and tried to get Jenni to do it as she was better at those situations.
Once home, Jenni and Deena wondered what Ron planned to tell Jen and if they should get involved. Denna revealed that Ronnie planned to tell Jen about everything that happened once he got home. Jenni worried that Mike would cross the line with a "French fry" reference, as that was what they had begun to call the blonde Ronnie brought home. The roommates sat for family dinner when Jen got there. Jenni asked if Jen wanted to get married and Ronnie answered that they were taking things slow. After dinner, the jokes about Mike loving dessert led to roasts with him and Ron. Mike insisted people "call him by his government" and Jen jabbed it was "The Incarceration". Offended, Mike asked someone to pass the French fries. When the couple went outside, Pauly felt she should have warmed up to the family first before dropping the bombshell. Mike knew the only reason Jen said "The Incarceration" was because it came out of Ron's mouth first. Pauly joked they should all write a note.
The roommates headed to Eleven, a strip club. Vinny wanted to save one of the strippers and told his plan to Jenni, who watched him carry the stripper away then back again. Once home, Pauly looked after Jenni who was very drunk. Vinny, Pauly, Deena, and Nicole ragged on Vinny for carrying a stripper at the club. He ran down to drunk call Elecia to tell her everything that happened, much to the amusement of Pauly and the roomies.
Everyone went to the beach in the morning, though Jenni, Deena, and Nicole stayed back at the resort area. They gossiped about the Ron-Jen situation and their stress over him. Jen rode with the girls and asked if Ron's been good while he's been there. Jenni would have written a note again if she didn't get punched eight years ago. They tried to brush off the question to avoid answering it. The girls dodged Jen and Ron the rest of her stay to avoid the drama.
While getting ready to go out, Jenni gave Ronnie a hard dose of reality when she reminded him that she used to be Ron - the ho in a relationship. But she chose not to be when she found someone she loved. She told Ron to own his shit. Pauly agreed that if he found a good girl he'd be committed. Ronnie didn't know if he found the right girl yet. He didn't tell Jen about the bathroom because he didn't want her to be embarrassed. Jenni knew she would be embarrassed anyway when she found out. She reminded him of Miami last time, when he did the same thing and tried to cover it up. The only difference was the girl lived with them and wasn't pregnant. He insisted that he was done with the shit and wanted to move on from his one mistake by himself. She drilled in that in three months, when his daughter is born, he will not want what he is in his daughter's life. The two continued to argue and lob accusations back and forth. Pauly reminded him not to force what he had with Jen because of the kid. She hugged Ronnie after. He thanked her for telling him and realized that being with Jen made him happy.
The roommates headed back to Eleven to try again without a pregnant lady. Jenni got a lap dance from one of the strippers and cozied up to them, which blew Ron's mind and impressed Pauly. Ronnie lived vicariously through Jenni. She sobered up quickly when she saw Nicole on the floor collecting the strippers money without realizing that it was how they got paid. She gave it back when the stripper confronted her about it.
The next morning, Mike asked Jenni for helping in picking out a ring for Lauren. He quickly realized how expensive a ring was and worried that he couldn't afford it with his current "situation". He also wanted to find the perfect ring. Meanwhile, Pauly, Vinnie, Nicole, and Snooki went to find a girl for Pauly, Ronnie decided to buy inflatable blue balls for everyone, which started the Guido Olympics. She stayed home while MVP went to Mokai.
In the morning, Jenni found phone numbers in the iTouch the boys brought with them last night. Vinny called his girl to check-in with her. The roommates divided and conquered for Operation: Find Pauly D Some Love Today. They failed epically and decided to make him a dessert to apologize. Mike accidentally ruined the surprise when he blurted out their plan. To make up for it, they pretended to have found him "Victoria". They presented a wigged-up, dressed-up Vinny emerged in a bronzed wig. Pauly lifted up Victoria and claimed him as his perfect man.
Jenni and Nicole decided to leave for a few days to see their kids and husbands. The guys surprised Deena with a trip to see Chris so they could have a guys weekend. On their way back, the girls got drunk on the plane, and were shell-shocked when Angelina was in the Miami house.
Jenni instantly asked why she was there, confused as she chose to leave them twice. She demanded that Ron take her bags upstairs and planned to stay upstairs for the sake of her temper. She and Nicole tackled Ron and screamed "why" at him. When the roommates all came upstairs, Jenni asked why she was there. Angelina claimed it was to to make amends, but Jenni didn't believe that. Nicole brought up the issue of Angelina telling the tabloids that she was ugly. Angelina denied it and said they came to her, but Nicole just wanted her to be real and then they could be cool. Angelina wanted the bond they all had, but Jenni screamed no. She bet Angelina wouldn't make it a week because she wasn't one of them and hadn't experienced everything they did. Angelina didn't even try to make amends in eight years. Jenni accused her of being there to be a chew toy, and told her to get out.
She woke up the next morning and remembered the nightmare of Angelina being there was real. Jenni decided to go boxing and invited the guys along. Mike held her heavy bag and she pictured Angelina's face on the bag. Once home, Jenni was annoyed when Deena told Chris she would be nice to Angelina. This heightened when she saw Nicole and Angelina getting along outside, having become friends also after the Meatball Day. Jenni later agreed to give her a third chance and start over with Angelina. When Jenni tried to get to know Angelina's intentions, Deena wanted a glass of wine, which sparked an argument between them.
In the morning, Jenni got a banana bag with the roommates and scheduled a meeting with her ring lady for Mike. Pauly called a family meeting to discuss Angelina, as he kind of pranked himself. He was glad they got to know her a bit and have here there for a bit, but everyone agreed they wanted to end it just the seven of them. The roommates were eager to see how things would be outside of the house. They nominated Jenni as the one to do the toast at dinner that night. Angelina took the news well and agreed to leave the next day.
To celebrate her last night, they raged with shots at a club. Angelina left a wild last impression on her final night when she accidentally took a dump in her pants. She later said it was a period shit, much to everyone's confusion. In the morning, Angelina left on a positive note.
Jenni wanted a vacation from the vacation, and the roommates decided to take a boat to one of the surrounding islands; the Bahamas. They fed stingrays, went snorkeling (Pauly kept his blowout above water), and explored a ship. The roommates planned to go out for a dinner, though Mike had ordered room service and kept them waiting. This got to Jenni who yelled at Mike. The roommates ultimately left without him, though Mike made it in the knick of time.
Once back at in Miami, the roommates were surprised by Vinny's mother and Uncle Nino who had arrived earlier that morning in search of Vinny. The family sat for a four course meal served by Paula and had a taste of home. Vinny quickly drew a comparison between Ronnie and Uncle Nino. While the boys went outside and roasted Nino, the girls stayed inside and praised Paula for the amazing dinner, and tried to get her to relax. Jenni praised Paula as she was "mom goals". Mike came in to get knives to cut a coconut. Jenni and Paula told him to whack it instead, and it became a spectacle for everyone.
The girls made breakfast for Paola to thank her and then said goodbye to her and Nino. That night, Jenni, Deena, and Nicole talked outside with Ronnie and he opened up about not knowing where he and Jen stood. She cheated on him before the pregnancy. He tried to work through it himself and not bring outside stuff into the house, but had trouble. Jenni was with someone who cheated her on her a lot, so she knew the feeling. The girls all gave him helpful advice.
Mike tried to get help from the roommates on how to propose, and they came up with having the proposal there. Pauly offered to DJ the whole thing, the roommates would decorate the back yard, and it would happen. The ring was delivered and everyone crowded around to see it. They went for a family meeting over lunch to plan everything. Pauly picked up on weird tension between them, and cited it back to the Bahama's when she snapped on him. Jenni took charge because she didn't want Lauren to have a regular proposal.
Lauren arrived that night and greeted all the roommates. Mike lobbed an insults at Jenni behind a teasing nature. They all went to dinner and the girls shared a cab with Ronnie, who didn't hold back his dislike for Mike. To get back at Mike for the "French fry joke", Ron told Jen about Mike's plan to put a pie in her face the last night because she went at him the other night. Jen was pissed because of how much she did for Mike and the engagement. She asked Nicole to help her not sabotage Mike's engagement, which even Ronnie advised against. He told them not to say anything as it was between "us girls."
Jenni felt petty during the dinner, so Ronnie and Nicole tried to keep her in check and from turning into JWoww. Deena took Lauren outside so Jenni could confront Mike without ruining the proposal. She unloaded on him because, after all she did for him, he planned to pie her. She felt insulted and didn't want to make the proposal happen now. Mike wanted to know who told her; Vinny and Pauly denied any involvement while Ron looked guiltily at the camera. Mike insisted it was a fun thing that he hadn't even done yet. He apologized profusely and genuinely, so they hugged it out.
The next night, roommates had their last family dinner and recounted their favorite moments. Snooki loved her spiral moments with Ronnie, even though she didn't remember most of it. Pauly loved being a Prank War Champion with Angelina, though it was the best and worst prank ever. Through that, he realized how much of a family they all were. Vinny loved it when his mom and Uncle Nino visited. He threw it back to when he poured champagne on a girls head for Deena. Jenni loved the little moments, like when Vinny dressed as Victoria. Mike loved just coming down there and being part of everything after not being sure if he could. Ronnie was blessed to have all seven of them in his life and was glad Sam didn't come, so they got to see him for who he is without the relationship. Mike and Ron bickered and Mike called Ron out for getting hammered that night, though the girls quickly called him out for judging.
Jenni asked why Mike said that Ron needed rehab, which shocked everyone. Ronnie accused Mike of making partying his whole life. Ron and Mike went at it verbally as Jenni encouraged them to air it out. Mike reminded Ron of his phone call two weeks before they got to the house where he said he needed rehab. Ron denied it, as he said he needed help. His rehab would be different than Mike's rehab. Pauly hid under the table as the two lobbed insults and shouted at each other. In the end, they agreed to disagree.
Ron went outside and Jen joined him. He didn't like that Mike brought up their private conversation about rehab when it was something they talked about outside of the shore house. Mike came out to talk to Ron and Jen left so they could be alone.
In the morning, Jenni and Deena went to a drag queen brunch. While the both were drunk, Deena swayed and had to be put to bed. Jenni told Nicole everything when she got upstairs, and Deena quickly joined them. Jenni tried to cook that night and nearly set the house on fire, so production gave them a fire extinguisher.
The roommates headed for their last night in Miami - to watch Pauly DJ at Eleven. Eleven sent a party bus for them, and they turned-up inside. Pauly rocked the DJ booth and brought the party to life. Pauly gave his Jersey Shore roommates a shoutout. When Jenni looked over at the booth, she saw Pauly's stalker from seaside, Vanessa. Everyone to leave and Jenni had to go back inside to get Snooki, who enjoyed the strippers.
Mike pulled Jenni aside in the morning to see if they were friends again or not. She viewed their fights as sibling fights. He wanted her on his team when he got out of there, and she assured him that he always would. The roommates sat for a breakfast made by Pauly and Vinny. They talked about their plans after the house and agreed they wanted to do it more often. They toasted to Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
Everyone gathered in the living room to say goodbye with a group hug, as Pauly declared for the last time that "the cabs are here!" Jenni and Snooki headed home together with Deena, and honked at the others as they drove out of the house, with a promise to come back.

Relationships[]
Snooki[]
Jenni is Snooki's best friend. When they first met, Jenni was off-put by Nicole's bold and drunken personality. Throughout the entire first season, JWoww never called Snooki by the right nickname. However after Snooki got punched in the bar, the two of them grew closer and were like sisters on and off screen. They often showed support to each other such as when Jenni was going through her bad breakup with Tom and when Nicole was fighting with Jionni in Italy.
But like all friendships, they’ve had their fair share of fights. In Italy, Nicole accused Jenni of not being a good friend even though the latter ran around the country trying to track down Jionni. No matter what, they always managed to work through their issues and are still close as ever to this day. Their friendship even spawned their own spin-off together, Snooki & JWoww.
Deena[]
Deena and Jenni became fast friends when the newbie entered the house.
Sammi[]
Together the two balanced out the dynamic with the Meatballs as Jenni and Sammi were the more mature and levelheaded out of the girls. They both are able to wrangle in Nicole and Deena when they start getting out of control.
While initially they were good friends, they had a falling out while in Miami over The Note which lead to a fistfight between the two. The tension continued into the following season and they had another fight during the first night back in Seaside. There was always this lingering jealousy between the two and they did not trust one another. They didn't truly start getting along again until Season 4 and they bonded over not wanting to always look after Nicole and Deena during their druken raids.
Sammi was one of the first people to hold Jenni's daughter, Meilani, in the hospital, which was shown on Snooki & JWoww.
Mike[]
Mike and Jenni were not close during the original run, mostly due to The Situation's need to stir the pot. One of their arguments resulted in the infamous backfist from JWoww. However after Mike got clean and sober, they became very close and moved into the same area. They often showed each other support during their hard times .
Angelina[]
Arguably, Jenni and Angelina seem to have the most rocky relationship with each other. The two are often at each other's throats, which is shown throughout both Jersey Shore and Family Vacation. One of Jenni's biggest issues with Angelina is that she supposedly keeps talking shit about her to people and that she won't own up to it. On the flip side, Angelina has an issue with Jenni seemingly strong arming the other roomies to defend her even if she was in the wrong.
However, there are times where they DO get along and can be there for each other, as shown when Jenni offers Angelina advice when she is contemplating divorcing Chris. JWoww refers Angelina as a step-sister where they do things that constantly get on each other's nerves, but deep down they do care and have some love for each other.
Vinny[]
Pauly D[]
Jenni and Pauly are nicknamed P-Woww. They had a fun connection when they met. They were attracted to each other and they made out, despite the fact she had a boyfriend at the time. They started to hook-up in the Shore House but, after seeing his penis, she called it off. They also kissed in a club and danced together. She went home before anything major happened. They always had a flirtatious relationship that became a tight-knit friendship. Jenni would do anything to protect Pauly, even once threatening to punch Angelina after she hit Pauly. They remained close friends for years, with the possibility of something happening between them always lingering in the background. During the NOLA trip 10-years later, Jenni was divorced from Roger while Pauly was single. He admitted in a drunk confessional that he wanted to sleep with her. She said later that night that she wanted to sleep with him too. All the cast members rooted for them to get together. They flirted a lot during this time, but ultimately, loved each other too much to ruin things. he didn't want to disrespect her. They are currently close friends - both are in serious relationships with other people.
Ronnie[]
Ron and Jenni were close during the original series. Jenni would often comfort him more than Sammi when the couple fought. However, Ronnie didn't always have her back as much as she did his and he was very close with Jenni's ex husband, Roger.
