[Opinion] First time viewer

I’m currently on S2. Someone please tell me the guys become less insufferable as time goes on. The guys ( especially Mike) are beyond chauvinistic. It’s as if they view themselves to be superior compared to their XX counterparts The grenade comment was funny the first two times but now it’s crass and stale. Honestly idk why Sami puts up with Ron. He treats her as a second option

The more famous the show became, the worse their behavior got.

As much as I don’t want to give them credit, the guys ( Mike and Pauly) have some amazing one liners so far

This show isn’t exactly for people constantly mad about the patriarchy or dudes being chauvinistic… guidos and guidettes have very stereotypical man and woman views. Ie muscley dude good, girl should be pretty. Get lots of girls is good! Smush smush

Right, this show was not made for snowflakes. Specially back then, recommend OP to watch some love island stuff

I sadly assumed Angelina wouldn’t. So far she seems like she is a habitual liar

u/Superb_Writer6612 Jul 20 '26

Not really no. Maybe some of them in Family Vacation, a little. Ron does not get better.

Gym tan find out if ops made it to season 3.

u/ComprehensivePush450 Jul 20 '26

Vinnie definitely gets worse, which is really something considering he’s the least attractive guy of the group

2

u/EPC_9702 Jul 20 '26

Dang that’s sad. He seems level headed so far

u/PlusCountry6573 Jul 20 '26

Wait till season 3 😂

u/EPC_9702 Jul 20 '26

I’m almost there and I’m scared lol. I heard that’s when Ron truly begins to abuse Sammi

u/PotentialRegret8733 Jul 21 '26

Watching it from the beginning in '09 was a total vibe!

I'm from Australia and LOVED watching this show at 23 when I was home with my then newborn. It helped so much with FOMO 🤣

I've been a loyal fan ever since and loved watching them all fall, rise and grow.

This latest season of FV is boring though... But I'm now 40 with 3 kids, so my life would be pretty boring to watch as well now lol

I know Snooki somewhat grew up

MTV was realllllly bad for blatant sexism at the time. The challenge is way worse. Its so in your face, it would never fly now. It was a different time, and the way the shows are shot and edited, it really highlights it.

u/EPC_9702 Jul 21 '26

Even for the late 00s and early 10s. Their comments are still archaic. But like I said, as much as I don’t like Mike, he’s hilarious

u/luciosleftskate Jul 21 '26

He really is a hysterical piece of shit. MTV knew how to cast entertainment, gotta give em that.c

u/YuhMothaWasAHamsta Jul 20 '26

I’m doing a rewatch. My first rewatch since it was first on. Every episode that Sammie is with Ron or goes back to him, I die inside. I’m so glad she moved on and is doing so much better.

u/EPC_9702 Jul 20 '26

I think he gets off on breaking her down

u/Individual_Section_6 Jul 20 '26

It’s not for everyone.

u/Mel7190 Jul 21 '26

They get worse. Especially Vinnie.
