TheMessynesscrew is entering a new season without one of its own.
Teasing the upcoming season exclusively to PEOPLE,Nicole “Snooki” Polizziadmits that it will be “bittersweet.”
“It’s going to be bittersweet this season because we lost Teddy,” Polizzi, 34, says while promoting her newCheez-Itcollaboration. “Teddy passed away. He was literally the heart of the show. Such a good guy and I feel like his career was really taking off and he was so excited. It’s a tragic, tragic, accident.”
Polizzi says the show plans to honor Ray and his legacy.
“Obviously, we were going to dedicate the season to Teddy,” she explains. “It’s going to be bittersweet and I’m actually really glad that we have those moments with him because his family and friends can see him. I’m really excited for season two to air.”

Being on the show is fitting for Polizzi, who has had her fair share ofMessyness-esque moments onJersey ShoreandJersey Shore: Family Vacationover the years. She, therefore, can relate to the mishaps that those featured onMessynessendure.
“I mean, even now, the last episode [ofJersey Shore: Family Vacation] I was falling down wasted,” she jokes.
“This season was so much fun,” she continues. “I just feel like we knew the groove already. We knew exactly what we were doing. We were drinking Messy Mawma wine. We had it on set, so we had a ton of that and it was a girl’s night.”

“Cheez-It is celebrating their 30 years of reality and I was so excited because Cheez-It is my favorite snack. My kids love it,” she says. “There’s always a couple boxes in the pantry. So they were like, ‘Listen, we’re celebrating reality. Would you like to be on the box?’ And I’m like, ‘Yes. Are you kidding?'”
Continuing, she adds: “So I got the box, the 100% real original and I’m on the box and my kids think I’m so cool. They just can’t wait to show their friends because my kids love Cheez-Its. So they’re like, ‘Mom, there’s no way you’re on the box.’ It’s literally all in my pantry, in my kitchen. I’m showcasing it. I’m really proud. I’m excited.”
