Vinny goes to Hollywood in ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ sneak peek
In this week’s episode of JSFV, Vinny is in Hollywood preparing for Dancing with the Stars Season 31. Working with his professional ballroom dance partner Koko Iwasaki, Vinny works on mastering his moves but is interrupted by a call from Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Pauly DelVecchio.
“I gotta make this snappy because this one over here has me on a strict time limit,” Vinny tells his co-stars. Mike and Pauly want to come to see him perform, to which Vinny replies: “I’d rather you not; I’m just trying to focus …”
Perplexed about Vinny’s lack of desire for his friends to come to support him, Koko pokes fun at the Jersey Shore star. “He can be fully nude in front of an audience and then he gets nervous for you guys to watch him,” she says, referencing his work with Chippendales.

How far did Vinny get in ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 31?
Vinny made it to week nine of the season 31 competition. After performing a Tango to Haddaway’s “What Is Love?” and a Samba relay to “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)” by En Vogue, Vinny was eliminated along with The D’Amelio Show star Heidi D’Amelio.
Heidi was the first to go that night, which put Vinny and actor/model Trevor Donovan in the bottom two. All four judges decided to save Trevor and his partner Emma Slater, sending Vinny and Koko Iwasaki home.
From the beginning, Vinny had a hard time impressing the DWTS judges. Here’s what Guadagnino’s scores looked like throughout the season:
- Week 1 — 17/40
- Week 2 — 27/40
- Week 3 — 23/40
- Week 4 — 29/40
- Week 5 — 60/80
- Week 6 — 36/50
- Week 7 — 63/80
- Week 8 — 29/40
Regardless, Vinny won the hearts of Jersey Shore fans, who voted for him week after week.
