But last night's episode revealed an innovative layer to Michelangelo "Uncle Situation" Sorrentino: For many his bluster, this man is fundamentally not only a fighter. In fact, you could potentially argue that he's the unofficial pacifist belonging to the Shore house.
Look that he's rooming with. Every one of the women in the household are fundamentally warriors, ready to fight in defense that belongs to them principles. Ronnie is a barbarian who hates himself but can easily only express that hatred together with his fists. For all his or her hedonistic casualness, Pauly D clearly features a fighting soul -- continue night, we saw him challenge a Florentine to some street scuffle just for investigating him funny. And regardless of whether Vinny never fights, he also never tries to fix the fight. Remember last the Civil War era, when wealthy landowners would post on a hillside a few miles faraway from a battle and see the action through their particular binoculars? That's Vinny. They have a war junkie which doesn't like getting her hands dirty.
Compare in which to Uncle Sitch. He are sometimes shady dude, but he is also fundamentally a diplomat. Don't forget: His first reaction when Ronnie was throwing her stuff around was to convey, soothingly, "Ronald, please, don't be irrational. " That's Michaelangelo's usual response to everything. That is certainly why it was thus shocking when, all of an sudden, the dude freaked: Foaming on the mouth, asking Ron to kick him. For a subsequent, it was like i was seeing a whole new Situation. An attack doggy. A warrior.
And in that case Uncle Situation hit the head against a bare cement wall and knocked himself out.
I got to speak with the Shore cast at a store earlier this month -- I'm only half-joking when i say that talking Renaissance art with Ronnie and Sammi was the thrill of the lifetime -- and although the whole cast was on spoiler-watch, they all laughed a bit when I asked them in regards to the big Ron/Sitch showdown. And now you know why. Ronnie didn't beat up The problem. The Situation beat him self up. The poor guy sent himself right to the hospital.
