Is there trouble with DJ Pauly D, Nikki's relationship on 'Jersey Shore Family Vacation'?
What's up with Pauly D and Nikki?
A teaser at the end of the Thursday, Oct. 31, episode of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” suggested there's trouble in the House of DelVecchio.
“I have relationship problems I don't know how to get past,” said a stern DJ Pauly DelVecchio to a Zoom chat with cast members Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Vinny Guadagnino.
A quick edit to dinner in a restaurant with Pauly and his girlfriend Nikki Hall further suggested trouble.
“You're being a little dramatic,” Nikki says.
“I don't know if I'd be smiling if I was you,” Pauly sternly replies.

If there is indeed trouble for the two, who met on MTV's “Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D and Vinny,” it would be a surprise. The couple, who live together in Las Vegas, have been together four years now, and they were shown happily working together on Pauly's deejaying promotional material on Thursday's episode before the teaser.
Is it a prank on Nikki? Pauly is known for his pranks on the show — we'll find out.
Pauly is 44 and has a 11-year old daughter from a previous relationship. Nikki returned to the show this season after a few years away.
“Me and Nikki have been together over four years now, and this is the longest relationship I've ever had,” said Pauly on the Sept. 19 episode. “I'm not an easy guy to date because I'm never really home.”
“Well, you think of it that way but I like it when you leave,” said Nikki, who explained that Pauly's absence gives her time to work on her line of bikinis.
Earlier on the show, Jenni “JWoww” Farley opened up about her mom on the “Dumb Blonde” podcast with the “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” cameras in the studio.
“I'm literally near 40 and I'm still embarrassed to speak about how I was raised,” Jenni said, adding that her mom was diagnosed with schizophrenia when she was 2. “I don't really speak on it because she's still here. I don't want to define her as that, but at 22 that's what she was diagnosed with.”
The death of Jenni's grandmother in a car accident left Jenni alone with her dad.
“As really great my dad was, those really important moments when you need that female energy wasn't there,” Jenni said. “My dad only knew one way to raise me. There was no makeup in my house. I was a competitive tomboy.”
Who threw a mean backhand, as Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino knows.
“I'm so proud of Jenni,” said Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, who is uncovering her adoption story on “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.” “Because I know Jenni grew up not the normal way and me opening up about my adoption, maybe that gave Jenni courage to say, 'Well, this is my story.' “
Kudos to Jenni for opening up about her mom, but no kudos so far for her “Feast of Peace,” held at her Holmdel home to bring the warring gals of the show together.

Unfortunately, the name of the first course, the Sue Me Joey Salad, triggered the diners.
“I should have sued him,” pipped up Angelina, referring to the Nicole's friend Joey Camasta.
Angelina is upset that Joey said in an interview that she was his least favorite cast member.
“Ok, but he has to say an answer, and Joey's very funny and comical,” Nicole said. “It's a joke question — we all answer those. So now Angelina's (blanked) about that. I mean, come on girl. Going forward, I don't need this.”
The second course has yet to be served.
“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” airs at 8 p.m. Thursdays on MTV.
