Jersey Shore's second season is sputtering toward the finish line a bit. Don't get us wrong, these guidos and guidettes have captured our hearts, but enough is enough.

An even 10 episodes would have done the trick in South Beach, especially with a whole new season coming our way this winter (they filmed in N.J. over the summer).

Instead, we get episodes like "Deja Vu All Over Again," an aptly-titled one given that the stories are basically repeating themselves. How much smushing do we need?

HOMESICK SNOOK: Nicole longs for fair Poughkeepsie.

As usual, The Situation came on too strong, got shot down, then blamed the girls themselves, while apparently doing his best to make his housemates hate him.

Snooki missed Ryder and the life she left back home, even though she's headed back in a few days. Vinny's falling for Ramona. JWoww dresses like a stripper.

Sammi freaked over a comment by Ronnie (shocking, we know). Pauly's just Pauly. The gang set the house on fire, and made a chart of hookups between them.

It was as elaborate and gross as you think, making you want a shot of penicillin just watching. Follow the jump for some of the night's top Jersey Shore quotes ...
