I'm going to join Ketchuplover and avoid this one. I watched a couple of episodes of Paradise Hotel and was bored out of my gourd. This one looks to be just as boring. I may have to eat my words once Top Model is over but for now, I have it to watch instead.

I've watched two so far. I'm in for a bit more. I thought that little twist at the banishment was interesting.

So far I am entertained by this show, and like the twists and turns. Imagine what fun it would be if Big Brother pulled some of these twists! Maybe when we all get sick of it they can just leave them on the island with cameras sans film, make them think for the next 3 or 4 years that their every move is being watched by millions, when in "reality" we have all forgotten about them...kind of a reverse Truman Show, lol.

LOL Cathie, good one. I'm in for a few more. I love the twists, this is the real meaning of 'expect the unexpected'. "You will reap what you sow" ...

Could someone do a bit of a recap on this show? I didn't come back until after Mary AND Craig were banished, so I don't know how they ended up doing it. I just heard the other girls saying Mary probably could have used the money more than the rest of them. So was it just her choice to leave or was she banished as part of the twist? Why did she pick Craig? I would have picked that obnoxious guy with the big teeth. I guess I'll watch it as long as there's nothing else to watch, but I'm not setting up my VCR for it!

Watching, I only got to see a half an hour last night (have the 2nd half taped to watch later), but Mary picked Craig to be banished (because his betrayal was the worst, he befriended her, then still picked her, and she also thought he was not honorable..had to do with his girlfriend back home and how he acts there in Eden). Anyway, she had to hand him the envelope that said "do not open". Then Ruth (I think that's the hosts name) said, "in Eden, there can also be redemption (or something of that nature). There are two cards here, one says "Banish" and one says "Redemption". If you pick redemption, Craig gets another chance and gets to stay. If you choose Banish, he must leave. Pick one of the cards, but do not reveal which one you pick. She picks one, and then Ruth tells Craig to open the envelope. It basically says that you reap what you sow. If you chose to banish, then you too will be banished. If you chose to save, you too will be saved. They asked her to then show her card, and she had chosen banishment. So, she had to leave as well, because she chose not to save Craig. They each had to choose someone else to give half their gold coins to. I don't know all the names yet, so I can't tell you who got them. Craig gave to one of the guys, Mary to one of the gals! Robin

Mary gave half of her coins to Naveen and Craig gave his to David.

I wish they would 'banish' the host! Her voice grates on me - it reminds me of the host on "The Weakest Link". Good Bye!

This show is BORING. Too many twists, too many replays of stuff we saw less than three minutes previously. And I don't care about any of the people. I bet it doesn't last a month.

Well it seems like Fox has gone with the "must have" English host and it is really irritating!! I also don't see this lasting. I only watched a couple of Paradise Island episodes and was never impressed enough to keep watching.

i so agree with the foreign hosts, what is up with that...is it the new thing??? this show is exactly this, the only alternative- to a bad tv line-up, if there is nothing else on, then, it will be handy. im not really liken it.

The hostess reminds me of a poor-man's Orbit girl. We had company on Tuesday evening so I didn't get a chance to watch much. Thanks to those who posted what happened. I liked the envelope twist.

I loved Paradise Hotel so of course will watch and enjoy this show. But I to wonder what's up w/ this english or whatever hosts, she's just like the host from PH except she's blonde. This show is so much like PH, except instead of couples it seems everyone's for themselves. I missed the first episode but caught the second. It'll be good trashy fun I'm sure. I love Mike, he's GORGEOUS!

The show is being filmed in Jamaica - looks like Fox has put at least $7 million in it - I imagine it will last a while - its on again tonight and next Monday ;)

I love the show! I've been watching since it's premiere. I don't watch any of the dating or mating shows. They're all young people... mostly, and for an old fart like me... well, they just make me wish I were young again... hehe... and who needs to go through that again??? rofl I must admit I am stunned at how this show game is so brutal to the players. They are forced to make decisions and vote on really mean type things...lol I always feel like I'm really eavesdropping or spying on them. I cried like a baby when (I cannot spell her name... or pronounce it for that matter..hehe) gave Neveena her money and her place in the game. Anyone else feel sad for that girl??? I hope Neveena does confront Kassie.

I really think the three girls who voted were in a bind--they felt loyal to both Brooke and Neveen and had to make a quick choice. If they had voted the other way then Brooke would be the angry one. Khalilah's decision to leave is what made the situation ackward, if she hadn't then Neveen would have been gone and there would be no repercussions. It is almost suspicious that this happened, makes me wonder if Khalilah was a FOX plant to make the twist happen, to create more trauma and drama???

I was just looking at the FOX web site and noticed that both Mary and Craig (banished last week) are now living in Scotsdale, AZ. Does anyone know if Mary lived there before the show (her bio says she is originally from Salt Lake City) or moved there after? Just curious if they hooked up after the show or if it was just a coincidence that they are both there now.

At the end of the last show the girls were to choose the most desireable guy. They chose Mike, and he was allowed to choose two girls to spend a day of luxury with him. He chose Neveen and Brooke. They had massages, good food, wine, etc., a whole day of fun. Meanwhile, the other 4 girls were told they had to choose one of his chosen girls to banish. Khalilah said she would never vote to banish Neveen, no matter what. Kassie felt that she had more in common with Brooke and wanted to keep her, and the other two didn't really discuss much, but seemed to go along with Kassie. Although I never heard the host say it had to be a unanimous vote, the girls acted as though it had to be. The catch was if they couldn't decide on who to banish then Brooke and Neveen would get to banish one of them. Khalilah refused to discuss it and said she would never vote against Neveen. The show ended with the banishment ceremony. Mike, Brooke and Neveen came back from their day trip just as the banishment started, and they were told that one of the girls was about to be banished. Khalilah was not present. The host asked the other three girls to state who they voted to banish and they all said Neveen (Kassie hesitated for quite awhile, or was at least edited to look like it.) Neveen was really PO'd and called them a few bleeped and blurred names. Then the host pointed out that Khalilah was not there and that she had made a video and they all needed to watch it. The video was a message from Khalilah to Neveen telling her that she couldn't go along with the rest and vote her off so she decided to go home so Neveen wouldn't have to go. So now Neveen is still there and hopping mad because the rest tried to banish her. Brooke seems to be in a good position now since she wasn't in on the vote and nobody is mad at her (yet.) Previews show a new guy coming next week.
