Hanh “Honey” Nguyen made her reality TV debut as a contestant on Season 3 of MTV’s Double Shot at Love, which aired in 2021.
This season featured Jersey Shore star Vinny Guadagnino as the sole bachelor seeking a romantic connection among a group of women, with the help of his best friend DJ Pauly D and Pauly’s then-girlfriend Nikki Hall, who served as both co-hosts and mentors.
Honey, a nail artist and aspiring model from Pennsauken, New Jersey, quickly became one of the season’s standout personalities. With her bold confidence and direct manner, she didn’t fade into the background like some of the more reserved contestants. She embraced the spotlight and wasn’t afraid to voice her thoughts or confront her housemates when she felt it necessary. While this made her highly watchable from a viewer’s perspective, it also led to tension among the women vying for Vinny’s attention.
One of the most defining moments of Honey’s time on the show came during an emotionally charged confrontation with fellow contestant Claudelia Zarate. Claudelia had temporarily left the competition after struggling with unresolved grief over an ex-boyfriend’s death, only to return later—an action that sparked controversy in the house. Honey confronted her openly, questioning the authenticity of her return and showing a level of skepticism that viewers found either refreshingly honest or unreasonably harsh, depending on their perspective. Claudelia tried to explain her situation, but Honey appeared dismissive, insisting that Claudelia’s presence was unfair to those who had stayed committed throughout.
Honey’s blunt style may have alienated some of the contestants, but it was also clear that she was deeply competitive and took the process seriously. That said, not all of her interactions with Vinny went smoothly. During Episode 7—titled “Look Out for the Quiet Ones”—Honey joined Vinny and fellow contestant Jillian for a private dinner.
This scene would mark the turning point in Honey’s time on the show. During the dinner, Honey’s behavior shifted abruptly: she made strange facial expressions, spat out food, and walked away from the table mid-conversation. Whether it was nerves, frustration, or something else, the moment came off as erratic and ultimately left a negative impression on Vinny.
While Honey was away from the table, Vinny made a quiet decision: Jillian would stay, and Honey would be sent home. When Honey returned, she found herself blindsided by the elimination. Her disappointment was evident, but so was her sense that she had not been fully understood. Many viewers noted that her sudden exit felt abrupt and even unjust, considering how invested she had appeared earlier in the season.
Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D and Vinny, also referred to simply as Double Shot at Love, is an American reality television show featuring DJ Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino from Jersey Shore.
The first season, a dating game show spin-off of the original Shot at Love series starring Tila Tequila and the Ikki Twins, premiered on MTV on April 11, 2019. That season featured 20 females competing for the attention and affection of both Pauly and Vinny.
The second season, dubbed Vegas Ex-scape, premiered on June 11, 2020 and featured six contestants from the first season, plus three additional male cast members, who move into Pauly and Vinny’s suite at The LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas, while working at Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub.
The series was renewed for a third season on April 13, 2021.
It reverted to the first season’s dating show format, with Pauly and Nikki guiding Vinny on the search for his perfect match.
