“Every time I go to Bamboo, someone gets hurt.” No words ever uttered across the “Jersey Shore” have been more prophetic, and though Snooki was bummed her night apart from the roommates’ club-fun would involve nothing more than a blanket and some shut-eye, she’d later learn that she dodged a bullet. After Pauly D’s bud, Ryan, tossed Mike’s “man-stalker” away from the group, a huge fight erupted, and long after the last fist flew, the cast still has no idea how it got so out of control.

Though he can’t say for sure, Ronnie comments in the “Hook-up” clip below that he thinks the fight was some hybrid of Mike’s rejected superfan and a motley crew of bar-goers just looking to stir up trouble: “Next thing you know, people are getting thrown, bouncers are flipping in the air.” Sammi says the brawl was “pure madness,” but if previous fights taught the cast anything, it’s that keeping one’s cool goes a long way.

“We know now we can’t really fight because of the consequences–especially I know–but we tried to, more, just protect ourselves,” Mr. “One shot” himself explains. Check out the video to hear just how crazy things got!
