Vinny Guadagnino has been in the trenches for too long. “The dating scene is horrible,” grumbles the 35-year-old, who shot to fame at the tender age of 21 when Jersey Shore became an instant hit. “It’s hard for me because I’m not just going to walk into a random singles bar, and I haven’t had much luck with apps. I don’t go on many dates.” To that end, he decided to try his chances on Season 2 of MTV’s All Star Shore, a competition show in which reality stars battle it out in partystyle challenges for $150,000. Jokes Vinny: “I haven’t been to a smush room in a long time!” Here, the Staten Island native talks to In Touch’s Fortune Benatar about looking for Mrs. Right, his new series and his unbreakable bond with his reality TV family.
