When Angelina claims she doesn’t want to miss out on any more time together, Sammi agrees and confesses that there are “no outsiders” who can understand the bond between the Shoremates.
“We had a bond that was [unlike] any other,” she says in a confessional. “I know they have their bond now, they’ve been doing this for a long time, but I still remember the bond that we had when we filmed when we were young and 22.”
Sammi continues reminiscing, “I remember fun times with them and all the laughs we had, and it was a time in my life that I really loved. I enjoyed being there at the end of the day even though I was going through a little bit of something. There were positive times and fun times.”
“We were all brothers and sisters, and I miss it,” she acknowledges. “I miss being a part of that.”
