$500,000 each doesn't sound right. I think it was 500K split between Keith & Charla, with each getting $250K and the option to split their 250K with Tara & Dave. Total prize money altogether being $500K. I specifically recall thinking how low the ultimate prize money was considering taxes & how much lower it would be to split it & have taxes taken out. I think $250,000 sounds more like the amount in the first season. I think Kellee is correct. Keith split his with Tara, & Charla chose not to split hers with Dave, instead claiming she'd work it out with a lawyer to give him some of the money, just not half of the money.

OK I found this article on the prize winnings from season one: "Keith and Charla win $250,000 each on Paradise Hotel, share money with Dave and Tara." "After Keith kicked Scott and Holly out of Paradise Hotel, every other cast member returned to vote for the winning couple. But they couldn't choose between Keith and Tara, and Dave and Charla, as the final twist involved flipping the couples. Charla and Keith won and were awarded the "ultimate prize": $500,000 between them, so $250,000 for each-half of Big Brother's prize and a quarter of Survivor's. The two winners were faced with a final choice: Whether or not to give half of their $250,000 to their original partners. Toni and her eyes became Charla's new BFF and told her to not give the cash to Dave, while Alex told Keith not to share his winnings with Tara. Keith chose to share his winnings with Tara; Charla decided not to give $125,000 to Dave. Keith and Tara decided to take the whole cast to Vegas, which is, of course, the perfect place for a group <76> to hang out together." If anyone wants the link I can get that for you.

After further review (and some closer reading on my part), the lower number is correct. The first google hit I got was a YouTube that says they each won $500,000, so I went with it. I went back and watched the YouTube and it actually says nothing about the money and only show Keith and Tara as the winners. No mention of Charla. Every other link on the page shows the Keith and Tara each got $250,000 and then Keith shared his with Tara. Sorry for the confusion.

This show is on again??? Is whatshername with the bulging eyeballs on again? Ladytex knows who I mean. She has been on a couple of this type of show. Shhhh, Jujubigdog..don't even think about Toni. No, she's not on..thank goodness. However if we think about her, they might bring her back like Zach. That wouldn't be good. She's the gal who roomed with Diane from BB awhile and then got in a fight with her and called everyone on BB All Stars to tell them secrets.

I was shocked to see Rahiem is back! Samantha better watch out! I was hoping Chris would take Krista with him. Love how she made Lauren's eviction all about her ::smack:: How many more episodes are left of this season? Did you guys with Fox Reality tv channel see Amanda B (the host) hosting Reality TV Hottest 25 guys? Mike made number 24 which suprised me cause of the wonk eye. Is it just me or does Ryan appear to be drunk all the time?

was that skewed toward the OG's or not? Last night was more fixed than usual.

I'm watching the show right now and without a doubt this episode is geared for the OG's. Though I'm glad Aaron left he was annoying. I really, really wish James would of left or Mikey (they are just too cocky for my liking)

Samantha? Who is Samantha? Extremely skewed towards the OG's. I bet they had different scenerio outcomes depending on who Raheem chose.

ITA with you guys - this eviction favored the OG's without a doubt. Why let the person who Raheim thought was the most unloyal pick who goes? That doesn't sound right. However, I was glad to see the back of Myrna.

I guess I didn't think it was fixed. I don't think they expected Raheim to call out one of his own as the least trust worthy which would have given the other side a chance to fight back. It just backfired on them.

Of course he would call out one of his own. He got screwed by them all.

Newbie here! I've never missed an episode either season but it only just occurred to me to see if TVCH had a group. I record the show in the middle of the night but somehow whenever I watch the replay, DH drifts in to check it out. He pretends not to be interested ... right up until I fast forward and he may have missed something. LOL! Anyway, how can James mend enough fences to stay? Although he said earlier he hoped Krista and he go to the Final 2, I can't believe they'll reconcile after her blabbing. ITA 'bout Ryan -- I think maybe he IS drunk most of the time and that's why he's shown so seldom.

I think he is hoping that he can get some sort of immunity or that TD will choose him over someone else because of the OG connection...I don't think unless he can do some serious repairing..which really dont see how..that he and Krista could make it.she will choose Mike

TD's new alliance is all but decimated so she may be open to any alliance offered to her right about now, even one with James. I think the poster who mentioned Samantha meant Stephanie.

Ohhh Stephanie! OK, thanks Alliet, I was really confused by who "Samantha" was. Then I thought maybe it's the host, but I think her name is Amanda.

Does anyone understand Tishida's (sp?) reasoning for booting James tonight over Ryan? Right after the ceremony she said she really didn't have anyone in the game because she chose Ryan. I think she may have gone farther if she had chosen James. Ryan's just kind of out there all the time and he is playing the game, no matter how much he said he wasn't. I thought Mike came off pompous to James, not to mention Krista, who has recently been kissing up to Stephanie. I almost wanted Krista to go over Myrna, even though I never liked Myrna. Everyone treats Krista with kid gloves and I feel she would have taken quite a different attitude toward James if she didn't have Mike protecting her in the game.

I think Krista was the first to be nice to Steph much to her detriment ... it was when Charla and TD turned against her,, I think TD choose Ryan because she thought the person on the outside would have the power to pick a couple to send home and James said he had her back no matter what, so she figured James would get the power and send one of the other couples home, Setting TD up in the finals...but it didnt happen that way I do NOT want Zack to win this..he has used and manipulated his way through..and really I never wanted to see him again after the first season...I think this time he is worse cause at least then he had some emotion and passion for it.

I don't, Cricket. She even went on to say something about Ryan (can't remember exactly but something like she didn't even know him...?). I think she picked him over James, though, because she probably hated that he'd come crawling back (and kind of begging) when he knew he had NO OTHER ALTERNATES! LOL

I don't like Krista's smirk. I don't want Zack to win (why, when they are repeatedly told they will be 'LEAVING PARADISE...... .... .... forEVER!!!!!!!!' do they keep coming back over and over again?! Don't want him to win. I really don't know who I do want to win. Don't particularly like any of the people there anyway LOL Stephanie's slept with anyone with a pulse (and male) and wonders why they cast the easy girl aside after they've had their fun. TD I just don't like because of how nasty she was earlier in the season. Krista is boring. Mike is kind of boring. Ryan is a waste of space. LOL Give the money to Amanda for having to put up with these people LMAO oooh, better still, give the money to the staff who have to clean up after all the drunken debauchery!

I actually would like Ryan to win because he would probably have the most fun with it. Then, maybe Mike because I think he's kind of cute. Zack? ACK! No way. I would have wanted James if he was still there, even though he got kind of weird at the end. As for the girls, none of them seem to be deserving. I guess if I had to chose it would be Krista because she 'played' the game more than the others. (at least, that's what the editing showed) TD just hung on others coattails and Stephanie just wanted to sleep with all of them.

I did see them discuss that but thought after the hostess said what she did, Tidisha would know to keep James. I just don't trust Ryan and at this point, I'm rooting for Tidisha to win. However, I don't want Ryan to win.
