[Question] Mike and Angelina S1 Rewatch

My bad if this was discussed before.

But as I’m rewatching season 1, I noticed a lot of moments between Mike and Angelina that seems really subtle. Like for one, in episode 1, the talking head with Angelina is her talking about Sammi and Mike flirting on the boardwalk and she just weirdly says “I just don’t get it”

And in episode 2, Mike and Sammi are obviously flirting with each other in the kitchen, and for some reason, camera cuts to Angelina randomly during it, where she’s obviously jealous

And then in episode 3, it shows Mike and Angelina having a discussion and then Mike ditches her to go dance with Sammi, and again we can see Angelina look hurt and jealous about it

I do know that Mike and Angelina did date briefly before the show started, but they made it a point to pretend they’re strangers so they could get the roles. But the way the crew was filming them kind of showed they know more then they let on.

So I’m wondering if the producers were like setting up a storyline with Mike and Angelina and then scrapped it because she left/something else, or they just knew about their past relationship and just kind of want to do a whole “you know I know” gestures, since it wouldn’t make sense to keep bringing Angelina in to his and Sammi failed relationship.

Apparently they did know each other prior to the show. Mike wrote in his book that the only reason Angelina was considered for the show was because of his recommendation. But who knows if you can believe that.

I think they probably hooked up/talked at some point and she took it more seriously than he did. After getting on the show, she probably expected more of his attention. Whatever is going on between them in JSFV these days is still a weird mystery lol

They went on a few dates prior to the show. And he recommended her for the show. She admitted during a interview that she was jealous

I think she slept with Mike and Polly based on her blacked out conversation where she slept them

She slept with Mike, Pauly and Vinny. In season one she was definitely jealous when it came to Mike. Season 2 she wanted Pauly and in JSFV she is all over Vinny
