“Today?” asked Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, 35, as the housemates gathered.

Ronnie came out of an elevator as Vinny said, “Bring him in.”

“I want to start by apologizing to you guys,” Ronnie said as Snooki wiped away tears.

“Last year I lost a lot of what I love,” Ronnie continued, his voice full of raw emotion.
