Angelina Pivarnick arrives with trash bags 

Who can forget the way Pivarnick showed up to Danny Merk‘s shore house during the Jersey Shore premiere. She was the last of the roommates to arrive, black contractor trash bags in tow. 

Later, Pivarnick spoke out about her reason for using trash bags as luggage. “They didn’t really give me too much notice that I was going, so I was like, ‘Oh, crap. What am I gonna put my stuff in?'” Pivarnick explained to Vulture. “I literally just took my stuff and threw all of it in garbage bags. I drove down to Seaside, and I walked in the house with garbage bags. I’ll never live that one down.” 

Angelina Pivarnick’s double comeback on ‘Jersey Shore’ 

During season 1 of Jersey Shore, Pivarnick was in a relationship. After feeling like she didn’t belong in the house, she left the show before the end of the first season, citing being homesick and missing her boyfriend. 

When the cast of Jersey Shore returned for season 2, many fans were shocked to see Pivarnick again. Despite being part of the original cast, the roommates made it clear Pivarnick wasn’t well-liked in the house. After a blow-out fight with Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Pivarnick decided to leave once again. This time, she wouldn’t return until Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

‘Um, hello!’ 

The first night in the shore house, Pauly DelVecchio and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino invited some women to the rooftop deck. A disgusted Pivarnick filled Farley and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola in on the situation. 

“Paul is 28-years-old,” she tells her roommates, claiming the women in the hot tub were only 20-years-old. Farley and Pivarnick gave their house guests a hard time when the women come down from the deck. 

“The boys are gonna hate me because I’m gonna keep f****** up their game,” Pivarnick told cameras. When Ronnie Ortiz-Magro confronted her about “being a creep” with the whole situation, Pivarnick delivered her iconic line: “Um, hello?! Are you f****** stupid?” 

Angelina Pivarnick and Vinny Guadagnino’s ‘Jersey Shore’ hookup 

The Jersey Shore roommates didn’t shy away from hooking up with each other, especially back when the show first premiered on MTV. But when Pivarnick and Guadagnino, who were essentially mortal enemies, hooked up, Jersey Shore fans couldn’t get enough.

Guadagnino drunkenly hooked up with Pivarnick during the show’s second season in Miami. “Yo listen, me and Angelina need some privacy bro,” Guadagnino told DelVecchio, who tried to stop the hookup at the time. A few days later, Pivarnick would leave the show for the second season in a row. 

Angelina Pivarnick becomes known as a ‘dirty little hamster’ 

Sorrentino may have delivered this line, but it’s how many Jersey Shore fans fondly think of Pivarnick. The reality star would later embrace the nickname by having a “dirty little hamster” tattooed on her husband Chris Larangeira.  

This stand-out moment comes from Jersey Shore Season 2 in Miami thanks to Pivarnick’s lack of desire to clean the house. Frustrated with Pivarnick, Sorrentino put a dirty feminine product in Pivarnick’s bed. When she called him out on it later, Sorrentino said: “Shut your mouth you dirty little hamster.”
