The Avengers are uniting once again this month.
No, not Captain America, Iron Man, and company.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was your first reaction when you got the call that you guys were coming back?
MTV
Because we noticed that like I’ll post a photo with these crazy maniacs and it goes wild.
So people still love us, they miss us, let’s see what happens.
Like, wait is this for real?
And she’s like, “No, this is real.”
VINNY GUADAGNINO:My first reaction was kind of like disbelief.
And then it happened.
[Laughs]
DEENA CORTESE: So excited.
MIKE “THE SITUATION” SORRENTINO:I was in a little disbelief.
But when they made the call, I was like, “Whoa, this is really happening.”
I prepped my liver for like a week, I detoxed.
I think we all detoxed because we knew that we were going to party hard, which we did.
Was there ever any hesitation to get back into this or were you all in from the jump?
RONNIE:Oh, I’ve never been out.
I’ve always been all-in.
MIKE:No, no, I just wanted to believe it.
SNOOKI:There was never any hesitation because we all wanted to do it.
So the kids were a huge factor and the hardest part, but we did it.
What was that moment like when you were first back together and reunited on this crazy ride again?
It kind of felt like an episode ofBlack Mirror.
It is just so surreal and awesome.
I just couldn’t believe that we were actually doing this.
I can’t believe we’re here."
MIKE:At first I was surprised and couldn’t believe it was happening.
DEENA:I mean, I had a couple rules: I couldn’tJersey turnpikeanybody besides Jenni and Nicole…
I guess that was my only rule.
It was us being like, this is how married people and parents have a good fing time!
Like, “These guys enjoyed themselves, they made it count.”
VINNY:It was very different.
I’m 30 now and I feel the best that I have in my whole life.
MIKE:I had a lot of things against me.
And how could I better the show?
How could I make the show real?
How could I make the show funny?
How can I continue to still do that with all these changes and obstacles that I’m facing?
[Sorrentinoplead guiltyto tax evasion in January and is currently awaiting sentencing.]
I don’t know how I did it all, but I’m finished and I feel awesome.
VINNY:Everyone always asks me about Mike because he doesn’t drink anymore.
They’re like, “Did you ever feel bad for him when you were out?”
And I only did one time when MVP went out.
Because we went so hard and he had to like babysit us.
I felt bad for him that night, but MVP went out every night.
Some people, they took a night off, but MVP did not miss one night.
MVP brought it this season.
Family Vacationhas already been renewed, so where would you like to go next?
But somewhere amazing and beautiful that I’ve never been to.
But not too long because I don’t want to miss the kids!
I like traveling abroad, but there is some kind of challenges that come with that.
I love going to places like Miami where that’s our habitat, like put us in our habitat.
It’s like putting a lion in the jungle and seeing what happens.
So I’d love to do that.
DEENA:We definitely want to go to Jersey since it’s warm now and Jersey has our heart.
But we do like vacation, maybe Greece or somewhere cool like that.
Somewhere with nice water and nice weather.
RONNIE:I would love to go to Greece.
Greece is like my one place that I have not been and would love to go.
But we’ll probably just end up in Jersey.
MIKE:I would like to go anywhere at this point.
To get another shot like this is unheard of.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacationpremieres Thursday at 8 p.m.
