Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, July 02, 2003 - 10:24 pm     I have since decided the guy in (1 was Scott. |
Hobbs | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 05:41 am     I cant follow this show anymore. It's too confusing for me. I'm letting it go. |
Weenerlobo | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 07:16 am     I was wondering what other peoples were thinking about this show. Dh and I have been watching from the beginning and it has it's moments, but the D R A M A seems so fake and forced. Is that hostess getting on anybody else's nerves? So I feel bad for Dave and Charla is a cold little fishie, isn't she. The relationship between Zach and Amy is just bizarre in an abusive way. That guy keeps telling her how horrible she is and she keeps trying to prove that she's not. Whatever, let him bed whomever he chooses and move on. Ho Hum. So Big Brother starts soon? |
Crazydog | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 08:38 am     I don't get it. I don't understand the point of it. Admittedly I have not been watching all the much but of what little I have seen, I just can't make sense of it. There are no competitions or tasks to be done. It just seems like they sit around talking to each other and then pair up. I've read that they said that even the people on it don't know how it will end. They said that with new people coming in it could just go on forever. Yikes. It's not entertaining. Pull the plug ASAP. |
Realbiz | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 08:52 am     Totally agree, crazydog. I only saw a few minutes last night - couldn't take it anymore. What is the show promoting? nothing other than young people hanging out in a resort, lazy and confused. Not a relationship show, not a competiton show. At least Big Brother has a goal, strategies, a price and END date! This show sucks big time. |
Alisons | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 09:16 am     I missed the last two episodes because I fell asleep as it was starting two times in a row! Maybe it is a defense mechanism on the part of my subconscious!!! (smile) It really hasn't bothered me yet that the show is pointless, because the people are all so shallow it somehow seems to match! Toni seems much more normal on this show vs. Love Cruise. Maybe that should be "normal", heh heh! |
Hobbs | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 09:47 am     I remember vaguely on one show one of the guys saying that he had never been this mentally challenged before. My jaw fell to the floor. If he thinks this is reality, just wait. |
Avrey258 | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 09:59 am     O.K., I know that Charla wasn't trying to get into bed with Beau. It had to be Scott. Remember during the question game he was asked about hooking up and why he hasn't? Also, wasn't it funny how Zach tried to put the moves on Amanda? Then he berated poor Amy for a kiss that never happened. I think Zach has serious issues. Why is he so jealous of the other guys? He keeps stating that he is the best looking one with the best body. To funny. I didn't really feel sorry for Dave. A few days ago he was acting like a big jerk and I haven't forgotten that. I am not sticking up for Charla either, she definitely has a screw loose. I am going to give up on this show once BB4 starts. I really don't get the point behind this show. When does it end? |
Lycanthrope | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 10:11 am     Other than Scott and to a certain extent Toni, everyone on this show acts like 14 year-olds. Contrived drama, petty jealousy...I don't usually watch shows like this, and I really don't know why I'm watching this one, but you are all right: so far there is no point to the show. If it doesn't pick up Monday, I'm out in favor of BB4. |
Jedisan | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Is there somewhere that I can find a re-cap that will have semi details? (bunny where are you, when we need you?????) |
Kitt | Thursday, July 03, 2003 - 06:18 pm     I think it was Scott who was with Charla, too. He did well to resist, as she was clearly using him, not to mention a little drunk. That link about the Hotel was good, Crazydog, thanks! I still think some of the inside is very much created. If it was really that good a hotel they'd be plugging where it was to get more visitors. I also noticed that there were big tags (is that what they're called?) painted out on the walls of the tennis court, you know, those big graffiti names. I'm surprised a good hotel didn't make more of an effort to cover them up. |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 06:12 pm     Jedisan, Paradise Hotel, July 2: If You Didn't Want to be Publicly Humiliated, Why Did You Go on the Show? http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article3290.art&page=1 This is a recap on Reality News Online. I go here after just about every reality show I watch to find out what "really" happened while I watched. These guys don't miss a beat!  |
Jedisan | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 07:57 pm     Thanks Sur (if I may call you Sur!) |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:05 pm     Yes, you may... as long as you don't say "sir!" |
Jedisan | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 08:14 pm     hehe. OK! |
Curious1 | Monday, July 07, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Kavita was stupid to choose Scott and expect him to turn away Toni, what was the girl thinking? I do think Zach might have chosen her over Kristin (she just doesn't seem to be that big of a part of the show), so I don't get Kavita's thought process at all, other than maybe she was mad at Zach still. Some of the decisions on this show just don't seem "authentic" to me, makes me think it is all staged and the people on it are just told what to do. I do like the preview though of having Amanda's ex-boyfriend come visit! Seems like she is showing her true ways trying to hook up with Alex and being sneaky about it while still trying to play Beau. Didn't Beau say that was one thing about her he couldn't get over, that she had cheated on all most all of her boyfriends? Even though he isn't her boyfriend really, she sure does like to sneak around and try to hook up with Alex. I loved at the end when they were questioning the two guys. It cracked me up because the houseguests really got in a few good slams at each other. I was shocked when Dave dogged Kristin by saying "when you are the new guy you take what you can get". Her face was priceless! Dave is such a jerk that Charla is perfect for him, they are both capable of being horrible to other people! |
Kappy | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 12:12 am     Ugh ~ WHY am I still watching this?! Is this a competition with an end to it? Is there a prize of any sort at the end? Does anyone know, lol?! Curious ~ My take on Kavita: She didn't choose Zach because she see's him for what he is, or at least what he is IMHO ~ a ticking time bomb. He reminds me more and more of the guy with the knife on Big Brother a few season's back. Very volatile. I think she chose to go off the show and was more then happy to leave this group of people. It's pretty obvious the originals are going to stand by each other no matter what, with the exception of how they feel about Charla. I think she put two and two together and decided picking Scott was an easy way to go. If he did choose her, he seemed like a nice guy. And if he didn't choose her, she'd get to leave. Picking Dave would have been her best chance to remain if she had wanted to and I doubt she considered it worth it. This really isn't that great of a group of people to be around if you're not one of the originals. |
Kellee | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 06:04 am     I cant believe I am watching this show...*LOL* Maybe amanda's ex isnt such an ex after all...cause it seems to send ripples through the hotel...and why would they bring on an outsider of sorts like that...weird... I would like to see Zach or Beau gone next but know that aint really going to happen right?...*LOL* |
Djgirl5235 | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 10:04 am     I would LOVE to see Zach gone next week - that guys head needs to be deflated quite a bit! I'm surprised he can get through the door! |
Tashakinz | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 10:57 am     whew - glad to know I'm not the only one still watching this train-wreck of a show. I agree DJ - Zack totally needs to go home...whiny, baby!! |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 11:18 am     I am not missing an episode, just not much to talk about Too busy prepping for BB. But it looks like they think they have it figgured out and will be plotting to kick out the new peron each week from here on in. Except - I HOPE they get rid of Zack - the rest I am actually ok with - but that guy it a - well _ i can't post it here ;) |
Maryk | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 11:25 am     I thought I'm the only one who doesn't like that Zack guy. He is too full of himself. I really hope he goes next. I still don't see how this show will end, if they keep replacing people. And why do you continue to want to stay there, with all the drama, if there is no incentive/prize in the end? Don't this people have jobs or family? |
Max | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 11:35 am     THe idea is that it never ends. The "reward" for these folks is to stay in the plush surroundings and get air time (I guess none of them have real jobs and, since they are all single, family can be talked to on the phone or something). Any strategy they devise to always kick off the new person can easily be dealt with by the producers. All they have to do is introduce some new twist that will make it impossible to kick off the new person at the first opportunity. Since they can change the "rules" any time they want to (Paradise is full of surprises), this is an easy way to circumvent any "fixing" the players attempt to do. |
Avrey258 | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 01:51 pm     It seems there is a lot going on "behind the scenes" that we aren't being shown. This show is screaming for live feeds. Not the cheezy recaps they are asking people to pay for either. There has to be a lot of stuff going on that we aren't being shown. As for Zach, I feel like a broken record but I had this guys number from day one. Remember how he treated <> Amy the first day? He basically told her that he expected to do better than her. Jerk! O.K., I agree that Kavita was on to him. Have you noticed that he is really arrogant and mean around Amy? He knows the others would put him in his place. Imagine if the other guys heard him saying how he was the best looking, had the best body, yada, yada, yada. Run Amy, run as fast as you can. (c) |
Mamie316 | Tuesday, July 08, 2003 - 04:03 pm     And how many times do we have to hear Zach tell someone "You don't know me!" Amy must have a self esteem level of zero to put up with this <guy>. (c) |
