One key component of the ExtraTime series you are viewing right now is to provide this site with the chance to cover the times when the people you watch on the MTV Reality shows you love get to meet with those in and outside the bubble. It's been part of the DCBLOG MTV experience since this ride began seven years ago, and in an earlier edition of this franchise provides context to this story...

The reason there has been greater buzz around MTV these days is because of the channel recognizing that millennials like most of you reading this are tied to your past more than any other generation that is still roaming around. It's for that reason that you have two notable franchises being welcomed back to your screens in The Hills and Jersey Shore... and of course, The Challenge has had tremendous buzz this year with media coverage before the season began and now because of events in and outside the episodes.

All the way back in fall 2014, we got to feature one moment where reality TV royalty got together, and we can thank the brother of one Real World'er for letting us feature that in Briah, the skeleton counterpart of Bruno on the Skeletons season of The Real World in Chicago. He met up with key reality manager Johnny Donovan, Big Brother alum Gina Marie, and two people of our focus.

We all remember that winter's night in 2009 when Jersey Shore premiered and when the OG's got to meet up for the first time in that now-iconic timeshare house in Seaside Heights, NJ. For the least memorable entrance of the original eight, who can forget the moment of Angelina Pivarnick walking into the house with garbage bags acting as her luggage? It was the start to what would become a dramatic two seasons of her dealing with Snooki, J-Woww, Mike, Pauly, Ronnie, Sam and, of course, her fellow Staten Islander, Vinny Guadagnino.

Angeliner lasted all of two to three episodes the first time around when tensions she had with the house and Shore Store boss man Danny caused her to give in, and she came back to Miami the next year and once again she made quite an impression in only one half of Season 2. And when she moved out of South Beach, we all thought we had seen the last of her on the show, being replaced by Snooki's friend Deena for the rest of the show's six season run - she is that other girl in the pic above. But when the originals came back to Florida for their Family Vacation two years ago, it would take for the prank king himself to change the course of history with one call to her back home and one visit with one memorable entrance...

The look the Sitch had on his face once he opened that door and her asking him "You Think I'm A Dirty Little Hamster?" summed up the shock we had on ours when Angelina walked into the Miami humble abode. But her coming there for that visit must've been the best move she had ever made being much older than the one who we saw a decade younger: she's now a permanent part of this cast in being the spiritual replacement for the lone OG to not join the vacation in Sammi Sweetheart. Obviously, this was the prank to end all pranks in Jersey land.

Thursday night saw Angelina have her crowning moment: her being the second of the cast to have a wedding featured on the Vacation in the course of ten months. Last year, we got to see the Sitch have his wedding to wife Lauren and having a special appearance by Rob Base... and this week saw Angelina get hitched to her fiance Chris, who we featured on here getting tattoos for one another on the series premiere of How Far is Tattoo Far? also back in 2018. And while the two got to say their "I do's," the drama of this past week was the roast given by the girls to the new bride at the reception... and there will be more to this as the ninth overall season of Jersey Shore winds up as does Snooki's run on the series.

The girl who Danny called "Jolie" that first time there got to invite some good friends of hers for a viewing party two nights ago that saw her not only get to relive wedding night all over again, but also the Season 2 premiere of A Double Shot at Love, which we will be recapping on here in a couple days' time. A couple of the new guys who the Beast Coast Squad brought to Vegas for the summer of love and pleasure under the sweltering sun joined her for this Jerzday doubleheader, as did one other notable MTV fan favorite.

Seeing what's been going on with one certain Challenger on Total Madness this season (and out of respect for our other subject, we'll spare her the expense and refrain from mentioning his name even once) brings to mind a girl who delighted us two years ago... also on Thursday and airing after Jersey Shore that spring of 2018: Bad Girls Club alum Angela Babicz, who was part of the original class of singles who came to the U.S. version of Ex On The Beach. She had to deal with another MTV love alum, being part of a love triangle with him & another single, and then became the only girl to appear on two seasons of EOTB USA when she dealt with that player in the Shack of Secrets for that bad blood and then started a relationship with that Challenger which included that infamous daytime talk appearance.

Angela joined Angelina to watch wedding night #2 in the Jersey Shore community two nights ago as social media tagged them as queens as they were also given the new nickname: "Ang²." This is certainly a duo we can certainly stan - and one of the best things to happen during this turbulent springtime of ours.

No your eyes aren't tricking you, Ang² 👯‍♀️ is here to save the day 👑 @angelababicz @angelinamtvjs #QueenTings pic.twitter.com/JIUj0z6dkB
