He's usually Jersey Shore’s answer to Dr. Phil, but this season Vinny Guadagnino inserted himself right into the drama by smushing everyone’s favorite Meatball while she was broken up with her camera-shy Gorilla Juicehead, Jionni, for all of five minutes. We spoke with Guadagnino ahead of tonight’s season-four finale, when the gang says Come se dice "good-bye" to Florence, about hooking up with Snooki, aspiring to be an actor, and avoiding The Situation.
Let’s get the Snooki stuff out of the way. Last we heard from Jionni, he was threatening to …
Kill me?
Kill me?
Well, I was going to say confront you, but yes, to kill you. Have you guys come face-to-face?
Well, it’s safe to say — I can put it on record — that I’m alive. In case anybody was worried. We’ve already filmed season five and I’ve seen the kid a couple of times, obviously, since he’s Snooki’s boyfriend. But I’m still here. The next season starts as soon as we get back to Jersey, so these story lines pick right up. But it’s all good. I’m not a confrontational guy. I chill back and only fight when I have to.

What did your mom think of the Snooki hookup?
My mother’s my biggest supporter. My mom and my family get it because they’ve been on the show. They know what I go through, and for the most part I feel like I do the right thing. You never really see me acting a fool on TV. Maybe once in a while, but they film us 24 hours a day and I’m a 23-year-old kid. There are some things that my family and I don’t talk about. But for the most part, I don’t think I disappointed anybody. If anything, it’s the opposite. They’re like, "Oh, Vinny, you’re so sweet!" My upbringing shows.

In last week’s episode, it seemed like the Florentines really turned on you guys. Was that hard for you, considering your Italian roots?
I don’t take it personally. That happens anywhere. You’re in a humongous club the size of a stadium with hundreds of people on top of each other and all of a sudden a crew walks in with cameras and security guards and every girl wants to talk to us. We’re famous and all eyes are on us. Mix alcohol with that and you’re going to get at least one guy that starts yelling something. But I don’t think that was about the Italians. I’m not even from that region of Italy, you know what I’m saying? My family aren’t haters; they would never do stuff like that. It is what it is, but I judged it as one particular club at one particular moment. The Italians were nice to us. Florence is all tourists anyway.
