I really liked that show too. It was so different and fun.

DH and I were also wondering how the heck Paradise Hotel will end.
I can't wait for the next Temptation Island to start.
A new show called Race to the Altar started the other night. I also enjoy Last Comic Standing. There's only one episode left of LCS.

I watched Race to the Alter and it was pretty good, as far as these things go. I am also sucked into Cupid. I don't know what I am going to do when I start back to school at the end of August. I should write the networks and tell them all of this smut needs to be moved off of Mon and Tues evenings so I can still watch!

Wow! I just found this thread. I can't believe nobody has commented in the past month! I started watching about 6 or 7 weeks ago. I can't believe this new twist with all the old contestants returning, they are not to be believed. I hate Toni, Zack and Amy, in that order. I am disappointed in Charla for being such an emotional basketcase, but I'm glad she decided to stay. I am definitely in their camp. Not crazy about Tara, could take or leave Dave, but I'm really starting to like Keith. He has comported himself so well in the presence of these lunatics! I think I'd like to see him win. What two returning guests do you want to stay? It's hard for me to decide, because some of them were gone before I started watching. I think I'd like Amanda, and I don't know who else.
Okay now that I've gone on and on, does anyone else want to talk about Paradise Hotel???

Guess I'll fess up, too....we watch it every week. Even tape it when big brother is on at the same time. Every time we sit down to watch, DH and I both say "I can't believe we make an effort to watch this show twice a week!" LOL!

We've been watching from day one (can't believe I just wrote that ) and we still don't understand how or what you win.

But since I've found this thread....We FORGOT to watch last night for some reason. Can someone fill me in?

 

[skuttle]

Nevermind...dont' need an update. Fox.com has recaps that are almost word for word what happened.

Oh...also..Toni was on a blind date episode, too.

Skuttle,
They finished bringing back all of the evicted houseguests (including Toni and Alex who continued on with the bashing of Dave, Charla, Tara, and Keith). Zack started badgering Keith at lunch and Keith was almost going to leave. Then, all of the "hotel guests" found out that all of the "visitors" were leaving the next day except two. The girls pick a guy to stay and the guys pick a girl. Since Zack threatened Keith, he isn't elgible to stay. Of course this was at the end of the episode so we won't know until next week who they pick.

Personally, I would like to see Matt (is that the guitar-playing John Travolta look a like?) come back. I can't really decide on a girl. Maybe Amanda or Kavita. I say Kavita only because Amy can't stand her and I can't stand Amy.

I don't know who I want to see win. I WOULD like to know what they win, though. My favorites have been Dave and Charla but the past couple of weeks Charla is annoying. I guess I'd like to see Tara and Keith win or Tara and Dave. Charla would be second choice. I'd like to see anyone win over Amy. Scott is starting to look very bad in my eyes too the way he is playing around with Holly and with that other evicted girl.

It keeps getting more difficult for me to watch since I despise so many of those people. Some of those original guests are getting scary – they totally remind me of a pack of wolves. I think that Zack and Toni are completely repulsive people – it makes me sick to look at them. The only person in the whole thing I like is Keith. Dave, Tara and Charla definitely have their faults, but they are angels compared to those other creeps. I guess I’d like to see Matt and Kavita stay since they seem to be on the “new” peoples’ side. Amanda is acting nice now, but I don’t trust her at all. I used to think Beau was OK, but now he seems as looney as the rest of them!

I was wondering if any one out there was watching this. I picked up the week after Matt was kicked out.

I can't believe how nasty some of the "guests" have been they have especially been picking on Dave. They would pick on Charla more if she would come out of her room. All I can say is that they are sore losers!

It will be interesting to see who they pick to join them.

DH and I love this show but it was very hard to enjoy the other night. It was so hard to watch how mean they were being. I can't stand Zak, Amy & Tony. I hated Zak since the first show. Dave handled himself very well under that pressure, IMO. I like Keith the most. He seems to be a very cool guy. I think Charla needs to grow a back bone. I understand how hard it would be to face those mean people but come on, you chose to go on a reality game show. I'd bring back Amanda and maybe Matt. Definitely not Beau, Alex or Andon. When Paradise Hotel in on against Big Brother we watch one and tape one. We usually tape Big Brother but flip back & forth during commercials.

OK, my best friend and I watch this show and loved it from the very first episode. But both of us had a really hard time watching these past two episodes featuring the returned guests. It was downright scary to watch Zach's incredibly childish taunting of Zach. When PH first began, I found Zack amusing, as he just seemed so incredibly cocky that it was silly. But now, he's gone far beyond that and into the zone of horrifying. And I mean that, truly, truly horrifying. I'm amazed that these people could go home, watch themselves on TV, and then come back and behave a thousand times worse. I laughed when Zack said that everyone watching the show believed Keith to be a loser. To be, nobody on PH has done a better job of keeping their composure and coming off as someone who is both "playing the game" and remaining civil at the same time.

I actually had difficulty breathing during the past two episodes, my stomach was so tied up in knots. But I loved the twist at the end of the last episode, when it was revealed that the remaining guests would decide which two visitors were allowed to remain in Paradise. Andon, whom I actually liked during his first visit, and who morphed into a complete jerk while away... well, I cheered to see him put in his place, to watch him go from big, muscled-up bully to "uh-oh, I better make nice to Dave... he's got some power here." It's almost like seeing the geeks take over the schoolyard. Woo-hoo!

Meanwhile, I noticed a week or two ago that Amanda stopped saying "you will be checking out of paradise... FOREVER." I was disappointed, because I loved mocking her. Heck, I thought it would make a great drinking game. Do a shot everytime they say "forever," whether it's hostess Amanda or the voiceover (has any show in the history of TV ever done more "coming up on" which do nothing but give away the twists? I try to turn them off). I really truly believe that a lot of the twists and turns of this show have been made up as they go along. For example, they probably wouldn't have had Amanda say "forever" all those weeks if they'd known early on that they'd be bringing back the original guests at some point. The show was originally scheduled to end 8 episodes ago, and then Fox decided it was doing well enough to extend another eight episodes. Obviously, at that point, they had to think of some way to stretch things out, thus the return of all the guests and the eventual return of two chosen from that group to go from visitors to actual guests.

Oh lord, I can't believe I spent this much of my morning typing this missive about a show that is so... well, I believe in the future, when you look up the word "cheese" it will have a picture of the Paradise Hotel cast.

Can't wait until the next episode...

I'm really curious to see how this show is going to end and what exactly will be won. I was appalled at the behavior of the returned guests. I do realize that it may appear to be worse than it was due to editing, but Zack's behavior - WOW! - what a thug! I totally cracked up at how Andon immediately went up to Dave and started telling him "I think you misunderstood" as soon as he found out that the "hotel" guests would be deciding who stayed and who would go. I guess of the former guests that I would like to see come back it would probably be Kavita or Amanda (even though I didn't like her before and don't trust her) and Matt. I don't really know anything about Melanie, although she didn't seem to slam on any of the other guests. Since all of the "visitors" have seen all of the episodes, I think it would only be fair to allow the current hotel guests to view all of the episodes as well, so then can be on an even playing field. The 2 that will be voted back on, will have an advantage since they know everything that has gone on, even behind closed doors.

I can't believe there are no spoilers anywhere about Paradise.
Charla had to be going thru so many emotions that she wouldn't leave her room. She isn't that innocent and I think that is what is eating her up inside.

Spoilers, please anyone, where is this show going.

 

[MrsMud]

Well, I thought the "nice" people were going to win, but things seem to have turned around! I can't believe they got taken in by Andon. They're lucky he didn't get voted back! It's just hard to believe that everyone else has joined "the other side". I'm still routing for Keith, and even though I don't really care for Charla or Tara, I hope one of them win, because the other women are just so mean!

 

[TIdoublegaER]

I like Desiree when she first got on the show, but after last night, I hope she goes - along with Amy. Of the guys, I was glad Beau came back rather than Andon. I was surprised that Holly wanted Melanie to come back, although I think she voted for Melanie just because Charla and Tara voted for Kavita.

I think the "other" side will start to break down once it becomes apparent that they actually have to play the game. They will probably self-destruct. At least Charla, Tara, Keith and Dave KNOW they are playing a game.

 

[Gette88]

I think Holly voted for Melanie so Amy and Desiree wouldn't be mad. Also, to prove she's not jealous of her. I think she's nuts but I guess she was between a rock and a hard place on that one. I couldn't believe Charla and Tara voted for Andon. Didn't Dave tell them he didn't want Andon back? Beau's been so mean but the originals wanted him gone and talked about him behind his back too. Keith is doing so well under the pressure. I was glad he didn't let Zak get to him enough to resort to violence. I'd love to see Amy GONE and Desiree and Beau.

 

[jscharf]

I love this show ( yes im a loser) I told my husband I cant miss this when we are on vaction next week. He thinks im crazy.

Also I thought i saw toni on Blind date?

 

[Kirby]

I think that Scott is playing Holly. She has no clue. I could be wrong but I think that he will end up choosing Melanie if it comes down to choice.

Tom? (monkey guy) is playing well and keeping under the radar. I don't really think that he cares too much for all the drama but is keeping his mouth shut.

I'd like to see Amy GONE! She's a cute girl and seems like fun to be around but her attitude stinks.

Desiree seemed so nice. Something happened that they haven't shown us to make her move to the other side. Or maybe I just didn't see it.

And I think Tara will sell out Charla in a heartbeat given the chance. But right now it would not look good. It will be real interesting when it gets down to the final ones. We'll see whose alliances stay intact.

 

[KarenP]

I love this show, but think it is very unfair that the past guests were allowed to come back after watching the show and telling the current guests everything that is going on. I cannot stand Amy, Zack, Toni, Kristen, Alex and the rest of their crew. I think their behavior is vicious and cruel. It reminds me of high school.

I love Charla, Dave, Keith and Tara, but it now seems they don't have a chance of winning.

I had to giggle when I saw this site posted. Picture of Zach hired as a stripper for a 17 year old's birthday party! There was also a copy of trial proceedings posted on the web too where he had a shoplifting conviction from Abercrombie & Fitch! Remember when he taunted Keith saying that Keith only modeled shoes for A&F, so Keith's career didn't amount to anything? What nerve! Don't they realize that anything in their past will come back to haunt them?!!! It's really a small world...(And also - who in the world hires a stripper for their 17 year old daughter's birthday party anyway? Yikes!)
