The Jersey Shore castmembers excited fans all over weeks ago when they reunited in front of the camera. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Sammi “Sammi Sweetheart” Giancola, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and Deena Cortese joined forces at Burger King trying out the new Chicken Parmesan sandwich, but one person was noticeably absent.

"I believe he was in L.A., so I'm not sure what he was doing,” she told Us Weekly. "I haven't really spoken to him.” That doesn't sound very convincing to us girl!

"I honestly don't know if anyone has spoken to him about it,” she continued, when asked if he's on board to join them on their upcoming E! show, Reunion Road Trip. "Right now we're in a group chat with me, Pauly, Vinny ,Mike, Nicole, Jenni and Sam. Ronnie's actually not in it right now, in the group chat, but we're all talking about it and we're all trying to figure out ways to make it happen.”

Something tells us though that the real reason Ronnie wasn't around is because of Sammie, who he dated throughout the show. Now though, she has a new man, Christian Biscardi, who is also from New Jersey. They’ve even made things Instagram official, posting selfies together.

Deena continued, "I'm sure he'd be willing to sign on” to the show, "we just all haven't spoken to him. I think Vinny's the only one that really talks to him.”
