Snooki's fellow castmates were calling her Dren because that's her drunk alter ego. According to Elite Daily, Snooki was given the nickname by the roommates back in Season 1 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation after she peed in the pool one drunken night and blamed it on her drunk alter ego Dren. When she begins slurring her words, dropping things, or just acting overly drunk, everyone calls her Dren, and Dren appears at Jenni's birthday party.
After everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to Jenni, she blew out her candles on her super tall cake and thanked her friends. She said, "I love you all, thank you so much for making my day extra special. Especially you, Deena."
Snooki chimed in, "Deena killed it." Angelina Pivarnick quickly jumped in to say, "Hey, excuse me over here. I did the freaking tequila thing." Nicole snarked back with, "Angelina, you weren't even involved."
From there, it seemed like things grew tense between the two, and Jenni was seen whispering to her fiancé, Zack Carpinello, "It's a ticking time bomb," as she watched her castmates' interaction. She knew that Dren was in full effect.
Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, in a confessional, then told viewers there were "stages of progression'" that came with Snooki's drunkenness. He explained, "You meet different personalities. It's Nicole, and then you get Snooki, Snickers, Snookers, Snackers."
He went on to say, "It goes from Nicole being fun — flip — to Nicole being Dren. It's literally the difference of a couple sips." Jenni, in her confessional, also discussed Dren and shared, "I have very few tips on how to survive a Dren encounter. One: Never look Dren in the eyes. Two: If you see Dren coming and approaching, walk away. Because Dren will encroach, and she will get in your space, and she will not let you go."
Dren was then shown antagonizing Angelina by telling her that she treats her husband Chris Larangeira terribly.
From the looks of how the episode ended, there's some major drama brewing between Snooki and Angelina. It will be interesting to see how Episode 27 unfolds.
Watch Jersey Shore: Family Vacation on Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on MTV.
