So, anyone watch it? 
I only saw a few parts as I was walking around cleaning the house.
The good: Seeing shallow people get humiliated. 
The bad: Looked boring as hell. Does anything actually happen? I saw the host (should we know who that is, btw?) say there would be lots of surprises. If so, I must have been in the garage when they happened, cause all I saw was a whole lotta nothing.
Any thoughts?
I watched it. It seems like they only vote someone off once a week, or someone gets excluded or whatever. Thats a long time for these “couples” to be together. Also, I think all the people who audtioned for the show are able to get a chance to still get on, when someone else gets booted off. (They claim its members of the audience, but they mean studio audience which has already obviously been filmed).
Its pure summer filler crap but that chick Toni was on already on a similar Fox reality dating elimination show – Love Cruise.
Seems like they tossed a few “TV Ugly” people into the mix to make things interesting.
What is the point of this show? I’ve gotten sucked into watching it but can’t figure out the point. I know they keep kicking people off (“It’s time for you to leave paradise . . . FOREVER” as if their lives are over) but they bring new people on so it’s the same number of people so how do they figure out who wins?
And, by the way, I was happy to see Zack go. What a loser…
KSO, I think the ultimate goal is to stay the longest. No monetary award or anything. I think.
I watch bits and pieces. How is that British guy still on there? I can’t remember his name and he isn’t really British, but he looks like Prince Charles’s goofy cousin. I personally think he’s hideous and unfunny, yet he stays. Huh?
It is time for me to admit it…
I AM A HUGE PARADISE HOTEL FAN
Here is the lowdown:
As of now, the point of the show is unclear. There will definitely be a winner since the guests are strategizing but we don’t know how the winner(s) will be decided or even what their prize is. Personally, I hope this show goes on forever and they just keep bringing in new people.
Each week the dynamic is either 6 guys/5 girls or 6 girls/5 guys. So this week, there are five guys and then the six girls pick who they want to room with during the week and then whichever guy has two girls choose him has to decide who he wants to room with. The odd person out each week leaves Paradise…FOR!EVER!
After one person gets booted, they change the dynamic to give the other sex the 6-5 advantage. The guests choose between two potential guests and then the new person comes in. Lately, the new person makes the ultimate decision of who leaves.
The show basically makes up the rules as they go along. The beauty of the show is that the guests are so drunk/stir-crazy/braindead that most don’t even realize that it doesn’t really matter if you like who you room with, it only matters that you stay.
The ugly guy has stayed because there is this hot girl that the other girls don’t really like and she basically just latched on to him since nobody else would even talk to her. Nobody chooses her because they don’t like her and nobody chooses him because he is ugly so they pick each other and never get voted off.
But now those two have started allying with the “new people” that move into the hotel by using the “strategy” talk about winning and breaking the alliance of “originals.” It is actually working and the remaining originals (the first group of 11 to move in) are starting to lose their minds.
Periodically, the new person chooses people to go on “dates” with. It is all very random.
Tonight, Toni, the freakish she-male that was recycled from Love Cruise was ousted because she was so paranoid that she basically plotted herself out of the game. She was scary and psychotic and had a sweaty back in her red jumpsuit as she left Paradise.
That, my friends, is Paradise Hotel 101. It is the most addictive show I have ever encountered. I used to hide the fact that I watched it from my coworkers but I needed people to talk about it with so I turned some people onto it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what the ultimate point is; you just have to watch and kind of understand who is who and then you will crack up at everything they say. It is hard to explain how you reach the point of appreciating the show but once you do, you willl definitely see it as the best show ever.
I could go on forever.
oh stylize, i love it too for alll your reasons and more
i hope it lasts forever
i especially love seeing charla start to cry and here lip quivers and shit (its hilarious if you havent seen it yet) also i love the copious amnount of one liners i crack to myself as i watch…
for instance…the day dave got voted in “he won the competition by 3 feet of nose”
ohhh i slay me…
cheers
As I popped into the Cafe for a few minutes while browsing around the boards, I saw this thread and thought, “Holy hell! Some shameless whore actually started a Paradise Hotel thread!”
Then the sad truth hits me. Thread starter: Slacker. There should be a statute of limitation on these things.
I’ve only caught a few of the episodes, but I did catch tonight, and what a glorious night it was. Toni was fun to point and laugh at at first, but I got sick of her a long time ago. However, with her there I can’t help but imagine how funny this show would be if I were on it in Keith’s stead. As Charla and Toni stood behind me, the host would start to ask:
Aussie host: As you know Chris, you now have a difficult decision ahead of…
Me: Charla.
Amy: I’m going to make your life a living hell Chris! (sobs hysterically)
Was anyone else hoping that tonight’s surprise twist was going to be a horde of militant guerillas jumping out of the brush and taking everyone hostage? Hey, It would give Toni a chance to take that bullet for Amy she mentioned about five times.
Speaking of Amy, when did she become such an idiot? She seemed OK on the couple of early shows I saw. And why is Zack spoken of like he’s a fallen diety? He’s one of the biggest jackasses I’ve ever seen on these ridiculous shows! Toni promised Zack that she’d take of Amy? What’s she going to protect her from, a pea under her twenty matresses? Did she promise to tell Amy that Zack could do better than her mediocrity every day as well? Give me a break!
I think the only one on this slow-motion trainwreck with any sense left is Charla. I kind of hope she’ll get voted out while she still has what’s left of her dignity.
