Turning A New Leaf: Vinny And Maria Squashed Their Double Shot At Love 'Awkwardness'

One pair down, one to go!


until tonight's Double Shot at Love episode, Vinny and Maria, and also DJ Pauly D and Nikki, had not spoken since each person was reunited in Las Vegas. Although that all changed any time Vinny determined he was "sick of all this awkwardness" and opted to chat with Maria. Being lit soon after a night out at Drai's will support get the ball rolling...


"I feel like I shouldn't have to be the opening one to go up to you in any regard," Maria told Vin. She then referenced Vinny choosing Alysse while in Season 1, adding, "I wasn't the one who hurt anybody or lied to anybody."


"You turned into a f*cking troll," he responded about her tweets involving him right following the conclusion of Double Shot Season 1. "There's a million trolls, yet in the event you do it, it hurts."


He elaborated about Alysse: "I'm sorry it didn't f*cking work out. We were talking a little and we were attempting to continue it, however then it just didn't turn into nothing. It did not have anything to do with you. Why are you talking so much crap about me? You called me a f*cking lame a** b*tch. Like, what the f*ck?"


Maria conceded that he was "right" and that it was between him and Alysse.


some days I mention sh*t that I shouldn't mention she admitted. "I have a mouth on me once I'm upset, and I'm attempting to work on [it]. Sorry -- I f*cked up."


Vinny appreciated her apology and mentioned it took a "big person" to do what she did. Then they exchanged a hug, although she was wearing a spiky bra.


So why did Maria wish to clear the air with Vinny?


"I just felt like a lot of what I was furious about was miscommunicated through social media and news articles and other people's advice Maria revealed to MTV News. "I never got it straight from the horse's mouth. I contained on to this aggression that really did not have any foundation to it up until I heard his side of it. I was like, damn. I mentioned all of those things because I viewed it from a different point of view. And I figured if I wanted to be happy in this environment, I would have to forgive and forget and turn a new leaf."


Back to the episode: The new (?) Pals went grocery shopping for ricotta, and Pauly predicted that right now that they have discussed, the "next step is sex." "Wait" is right, Maria!


Next up: Pauly and Nikki are exchanging words in the preview for the next installment, so right now the opening awkwarder duos will perhaps be far less so? Never miss Double Shot every Thursday at 8/7c to find out -- and visualize if the cordial interactions between Maria and Vinny continue!
