Snooki has become the house mom/gleeful mascot/overcaffeinated little sister of the Jersey Shore house, so it's interesting to remember that, in the first few episodes, the other housemates didn't like her very much. That changed after Snooki was punched by a guy at a bar. Although the punch itself was ultimately cut out of the episode, the fallout from the scuffle brought everyone together behind their fallen housemate.
