What we learned going into tonight's episode of "Jersey Shore," titled "Girls Like That":

OK, we know the following:

Episode 10: "Gone, Baby, Gone"

The blog is back.

When you're watching "Jersey Shore," you know exactly what you're going to get:

It's a rainy, lazy Sunday. And if opening day for professional football doesn't do it for ya, head on over to MTV, where the network is in the middle of an all-day marathon of "Jersey Shore." It leads into an all-new episode at 7 p.m., preceding the MTV Video Music Awards.

"Jersey Shore" gets romantic? Who'd a thunk it? A remarkably drama-free episode instead played relationship bingo. After the fireworks of the last couple of weeks, we should've expected a bit of a letdown sooner or later.

Episode 207: "Sleeping With the Enemy"

"Jersey Shore" hits Miami. If we're being honest, when we heard that news earlier this year and started thinking about all the mischief everyone could get into, would any of us pegged Ronnie as the main offender? Or that Mike would spend much of his early time at South Beach serving as a voice of reason?

Can you believe we’re at the midpoint of “Jersey Shore’s” second season already? It’s certainly been eventful, especially these last couple of weeks.

“Jersey Shore” fans, spray on those tans, fix your hair just right and get ready to spend Monday at Tropicana Casino and Resort.

Every character on "Jersey Shore" -- and let's be real here; they are characters -- has filled a specific role.

It's official. Mike Sorrentino will be hoofin' it this fall on "Dancing With the Stars." He'll join the likes of Florence Henderson, Michael Bolton and Margaret Cho on the upcoming season of "Dancing," which gets started Sept. 20 That means for a few weeks you'll be able to get double your Situation fix each week, since new eps of "Jersey Shore" should continue into early October.

What a difference a week makes.

This week's poll question was easy to come up with. More than 24 hours later, I'm still finding new things to hash out about "The Letter."

Well, here we go. Another new episode of "Jersey Shore" is mere hours away, and judging from the previews, Situation breaks out a few moves tonight.

If you're new to "Jersey Shore," it may be hard to believe. But there are more to relationships than just Sammi and Ronnie. In fact, there have been enough hookups amongst the housemates to make your ordinary afternoon sudser blush. So, here's a quick refresher course about "Jersey Shore's" close family relationships...

With the exception of two, albeit priceless, quotes last week - "Now, lookit. Like one big dysfunctional family" observed at the group dinner, and "She's wearin' her luggage from last year," about Angelina - DJ Pauly D was M.I.A. in MIA. Guess he needed a break after exploding at Ang a while back.

RATINGS UPDATE: The long, slow death march that is the Ronnie-Sammi coupling did little to impact "Jersey Shore" ratings last night. TVbythenumbers.com reports the MTV megahit held steady with another 5.5 million viewers tuning in to see SamRon come thisclose to ending things. Again.

Hard to believe, but after tonight we'll be one-third of the way through season two. Already, we've gotten ample drama from Angelina, and the gnarled, dysfunctional relationship of Sammi and Ronnie. But there's been some fun to be had, too, thanks largely to Mike, Pauly and the laughable idea that Angelina would be able to fit in after bailing from Seaside Heights early in the first season.

Another week's flown by, and now we're little more than a day away to the fourth episode of season two. Hard to believe we're almost one-third through the "Jersey Shore" season. ... Anyway, here are the two questions I have heading into tomorrow night:

Judging by the off-screen headlines, the third season of "Jersey Shore" is shaping up to be a corker?
