Which Double Shot Pair Is More 'Awkward': DJ Pauly D And Nikki Or Vinny And Maria?

"This is going to be awkward-er!"


Throughout tonight's Double Shot at Love Season 2 premiere, DJ Pauly D and Vinny welcomed their exes -- as well as several new cougines guys -- to Las Vegas. However for two females -- Nikki and Maria -- the circumstances felt a little different given their relationships with the Jersey Shore boys the last DSAL go around. Although which pair had more tension and awkwardness: Maria and Vinny or Nikki and Pauly?


First, Maria and Vinny. The latter admitted there was "unfinished firm with the Are You the One? alum, while Maria confessed that it was a "sh*tty feeling" to get her heart damaged the last time they were with each other. As soon as Maria arrived with the rest of the women at her new residence, Vinny didn't acknowledge her -- and she avoided him.


"Maria doesn't even mention hello to me," Vinny mentioned. "This is off to an awkward and bad start."


Maria didn't exactly feel comfortable either, stating, "I'm trying not to be a bitch, nevertheless I literally can't help it. Seeing Vinny for the initial time immediately after a number of months -- it's really f*cking hard."


A change of scenery (a spot called Karma Voodoo) didn't ease a thing, and Maria couldn't deny it was "so weird" to be around Vinny because of their past. Especially whenever he was talking to some "pretty" random girls.


Meanwhile, Nikki didn't descend on Vegas with Maria, B-Lashes, Derynn, Suzi and Marissa -- and her absence was immediately felt by none other than Pauly.


"I'm surprised Nikki isn't here. I thought she would have been with Maria," he told Vin (right before the crew's first night out). "They're friends."


And sure enough, Maria called her boo soon following the club and stressed how much she required her to get to Vegas.


"I cannot mention no to you -- what the hell?" Nikki responded, later adding she was "on the fence" about taking Maria up on the supply because there really is still something there for Pauly. Oh, and the two did not end things on good terms (remember the Double Shot reunion?).


Like Maria, Nikki (who landed the very next morning) could not bring herself converse with Pauly if she saw him.


"She just did a U-turn," Pauly told Vinny as she bee-lined away from him; for her part, Nikki confessed that although she knew she would visualize him, it was also much."


Once the two did eventually settle in the same room, Pauly was first to speak. Nevertheless the two couldn't have a conversation and settle their "communication issues" because "that douche" (Brandon) piped up about Nikki's relationship with Pauly.


"There's feelings still there," she mentioned in an interview. "I can't look him in the face because it breaks my heart."


Eventually, this foursome is going to have to well, chat, however so far, nothing has actually happened to clear the air. Although which pair had a more awkward (that's how the guys keep describing it!) Reunion: Vinny and Maria or Pauly and Nikki?
