Laura11103 | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 01:59 pm     Oh yeah, there's lots of liquid courage all over the place. Toni was definitely drunk, no doubt about it, I know in Real World, they give them alcohol to provoke stuff happening, of course they do it here. Can't blame them either, w/out a little courage thrown in this would be a big borefest IMO. It made me see Toni a little clearer when she was talking about appearance and all, she said that's why she works out to get big... makes sense, she's sort of got a good body, but she looks like she's a little disproportionate to me, I'm sure she wasn't the popular girl back in h.s. |
Curiouscat | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 07:34 pm     I just found a recap of Wednesday's show by SnowflakeGirl at fansofrealitytv.com that is a hoot to read, like our Bunny here. I was thinking who does Toni remind me of and for some reason Peppermint Patty came to mind. Peppermint Patty doesn't have naturally curly hair and is a tough, sports-minded tomboy. She's always setting up poor Charlie Brown to fall on his face and put him down. Her best friend, Marcie, calls her "Sir" sometimes. Toni has a sprinkle of Lucy in her too, with her psychiatric help booth for a nickle. What do ya think?  |
Surealityjunkie | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 08:10 pm     Curiouscat, thanks for the link to the FoRT recap. That was LOL funny! I like to read the recaps at RealityNewsOnline.com, too because I catch so much stuff that I miss while I type. Heck, I have even watched the show without typing and missed some of the details that they have added. They must tape and watch and rewatch... thanks again! And I would agree with you that Toni has a bit of Peppermint Patty in her. She is always setting Dave/"Chuck" up for the fall. But who is her Marcie, Kristin? No one really is wanting to bother with her whereas PP had a dependable friend in Marcie... Anyhoooo, I digress. The Yahoo! feeds haven't changed so I have nothing new to add to the mix... yet! |
Suek | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 09:15 pm     I would be VERY scared of any MAN BOOBS that jiggled my way ever! On anyone. LOL! But I think Charla picking Dave for a partner is great cause no one else wants to be with him. They only appear to be looking for a "relationship." I had trouble trying to watch both "PH" and "BB4" so thanks to everyone who brought me up to date. You are great. |
Avrey258 | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 09:05 am     I have been so busy with BB4 since it finally got some excitement. I recorded the last two Paradise Hotel episodes and just finished watching them this morning. That Zack is something else. When he (Zack) was showing Keith around the hotel did anyone catch Zack say, "are they editing me pretty bad"? And Keith says, "yeah". Then Zach says, "yeah, I thought so". Message to Zach, it's not editing. You are acting like a ****! Wasn't Toni a hoot on the Tuesday show where Amanda was eliminated. You would think that she had been shot..she was letting out screams and Oh My Gods left and right. I think Toni would be more attractive if she toned down her body. She is getting wrestler big. Maybe she likes that but I found her more attractive on that Love Cruise show. BTW, I am still waiting for that audience member to let Zack have it about the way he treats Amy. It was four or five shows ago that they showed that as an upcoming pre-view. Darn them for teasing us and then not showing it, because it has obviously already happened and yet Zack is still treating Amy like crap! |
Realitynut | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 11:51 am     I hope when this is all over, someone somewhere asks Amy why she thinks she deserves to be treated so badly. On national TV yet. It makes me feel sorry for her, but I want to shake her and tell her to stop tolerating bad behavior. She is setting herself up to be an abused spouse. |
Tagurit | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 04:15 pm     Is it just me or does anyone miss watching this and dread having to wait until Tuesday?!?! I could of used a good dose of Paradise Hotel last night. Realitynut, I have wondered about Amy. For some reason, I don't think this is the first time for her having someone treat her badly (IMO). Maybe she is just a person that always gravitates to the "bad boy" type guy. Avery, I definitely caught Zach ask Keith about editing. I just laughed. Seems this episode Zach was worrying a bit about what people back home think of him. He was talking about that with Amy in the bedroom too. I have a feeling that how he is shown on TV is exactly how he is in everyday life. |
Jan | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 04:37 pm     I figured that the new guy will go along with the group (just like Tara did in the end) and vote off Beau.. but then I watched my tape today and noticed that in the preview they said his choice is guaranteed to send shockwaves through the resort. Do you think he will send Zack packing? |
Surealityjunkie | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 06:03 pm     Jan, don't you everything on this show is guaranteed to send "shockwaves through the resort..." Almost reminds me of the "most shocking rose ceremony ever!" LOL! And Tag, YES!, I can't wait to see this show again... I need a weekend fix of it! The more shows I watch, the more I realize that the Reality TV cable channel needs to become a "reality" real soon! I also wanted to thump Amy upside the head on Wednesday when she said that she and Zack weren't in love but they had potential to do so!!! ARGH -- in the words of our former First Lady -- "JUST SAY NO!" |
Surealityjunkie | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 06:13 pm     Just read that "Paradise Hotel" is set for 16 hour-long episodes, with the finale set for Aug. 4. But the person quoted said that they have been told not to plan for a finale on that date. They said that this is a "soap" and it is a "continually renewable soap." Goes on to say, "If America really took to this show, there is no reason why it should come off the air on Aug. 4." Since someone here said that it has been renewed for at least 5 more weeks, maybe the are starting to wind down to the elimation level... guess we'll see soon enough, huh? |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 06:18 pm     Surealityjunkie - Where did you read that? Is there a link or was it in hard copy media like a newspaper? |
Surealityjunkie | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 07:27 pm     For your viewing pleasure, SanFran... From the Chicago Tribune `Paradise Hotel' checks in with latest twist on reality By Allan Johnson Tribune television reporter http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/tv/mmx-0306180109jun18,0,1034175.story?coll=mmx-television_heds The part I spoke of came from the last two paragraphs... I think this article came out the first week the show aired. |
Surealityjunkie | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 07:39 pm     Okay, see, I must be really bored tonight... I just wandered over to the official website for Paradise Hotel and clicked on some of the guests picture to see what kind of info popped up... WHY OH WHY did Amy AND Zack show as BOTH being from Scottsdale, AZ?!?!?! If that is the case why should he have abandonment issues with her? They are taking the same darn plane home! They have two tickets to Parad--- I mean Scottsdale! Has Amy lead on that she is staying in LA or does she cheer in a different state other than AZ? (She is the pro cheerleader.) Me soooo confused! (Edited to add: If you guys haven't checked out the official site, give it a look-see. They have pics of the goings on week by week and some nice shots of the hotel...) |
Sanfranjoshfan | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 07:47 pm     Sureality - Thanks |
Kellee | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 09:19 pm     She cheers for the Arizon Razorbacks...but what she has inferenced is that she wants to persue a Holllywood career...she is under the usual reality show delusion that doing this gig makes you a star... |
Curiouscat | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Tagurit asked: "Is it just me or does anyone miss watching this and dread having to wait until Tuesday?!?!" It's just not you, I can't wait for Tuesday also!!! I've been checking out other message boards, etc. trying to find anything new about the show to pass the time. On the official website's message board a couple people who have tickets to be in the studio audience in LA posted the same info - they received emails stating their upcoming tickets are no longer valid ... the last LA studio taping was July 11 [when Keith was chosen] and the rest of the show will be shot on location at Paradise Hotel. This makes sense since the previews for Tuesday's show did not have two girls trying to be the next guest at the hotel. It's also telling because the "live audience" is not actually live but pre-recorded up to two weeks in advance. I did a Google search and found the online site to get tickets to the show and it's Date & Arrival Time drop down menu only has 7/11/03 and no other dates. Seems like there will be no new people, so Keith will pick off a guy, then from there on they must have some twists up their sleeve for how the rest get booted out. |
Surealityjunkie | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 03:55 pm     Compliments of the official website message board -- Beau's radio station webpage. He has a page with a picture and blank info questions. I was curious what kind of music he spins so I gave a look... http://www.theedge1039.com/ |
Tagurit | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 07:06 pm     Good to know I am not the only one who hates waiting until Tuesday. I have gone and looked at a few message boards (none as good as this one though! ) and was happy to read that there are lots of people out there that like Charla. Yes, there are some that think she is a stuck up snob but most like her. So many say she and Dave are playing a good game as they keep picking each other knowing no one is going to pick them. Seems a bit sad in a way. edited to ask - has this thread gone wide for anyone else or is it just me? |
Surealityjunkie | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 07:32 pm     If you mean "wide" as in the do I have to scroll across to read the text... no, that hasn't happened over here... sorry! |
Curiouscat | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 07:57 pm     The official website's message board has a few real bits of information amongst the goobly-gook, as Sureal has found too. Here's Dave's website. Seems like he's been in the spotlight before this show. |
Surealityjunkie | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 08:27 pm     Curious, You know I was going to post some of the info that people had mentioned about the guests having previous t.v. history but I found that what I doublechecked was false. So I didn't even begin to look up Dave's stuff and come to find out, he is legit! They were saying over there that Amanda and Amy were on Joe Millionaire elimated in round two, but a simple glance of those ladies pictures will tell you none of them look anything alike!!! Someone else also listed a looooong list of Toni's entertainment history. I can only see that she has been in two reality shows and one or two movies, but someone else had this laundry list of stuff she has done, but it didn't match up with the link that he/she provided so I left it alone. I really try to pride myself in passing on non-malicious ACCURATE information and if I can't verify it in some manner, then I try to keep my mouth shut! (**But I have been known to open my ears when others speak!!!   ) |
Curiouscat | Saturday, July 26, 2003 - 09:13 pm     Yes, Sureal, I tried to verify some info from that long list of Toni's entertainment history as well. The one link to the U.N. Talent Agency website did have her pic and it listed her being in Coyote Flats, High Fidelity, and Negotiator. I went to IMDb.com and I couldn't find her listed as an actress anywhere. Unless she was an extra with no speaking parts, it's a little questionable what her real experience is. I haven't looked into that any further, so I could be wrong though Some posts at the official website board have been deleted if they were discussing personal information such as last names. It may be in their contracts who actually wants publicity by being on the show and the info isn't deleted from that board, such as for Beau, Dave or Toni. I found this site with Tara in it ... it has her answering questions like the ones asked in the Paradise Hotel application form. Her one answer is she wants to be an "a list actress".  |
Surealityjunkie | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 02:02 am     That was very interesting... to say the least! Interesting shorts/jeans combo -- never seen anything like that before and hope not to anytime soon... |
Oregonfire | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 01:21 pm     I continue to love this show. I too, have grown to be a Charla fan. I like to see her brain working when she's quietly scheming around the others, and she's a bit of a wit at times. I don't understand why the guys wouldn't like her--she's very pretty and entertaining. I used to like Kristin more, but she's gotten kind of power hungry of late. I'll say it again...Toni needs to go, if only not to expose her many pyschological needs on national television. For some reason I don't like Tara much--she seems like a pretty but empty shell. I can't believe that Beau is a radio DJ--I think he has an unfortunate voice--very high-pitched and whiny! I continue to like Paradise Hotel better than BB4. It's fresher, and on only twice a week, which is all I can handle this year as far as reality TV obsessions go. |
Curiouscat | Sunday, July 27, 2003 - 03:38 pm     I read in a couple different places that *two* guys may be eliminated on Tuesday's show. It makes sense because when Keith chooses to boot one of the guys that'll make an even five couples. Usually there's a person rooming on their own for the week. I think we're going to see a lot of the guests turning on each other these next few weeks, not just with poor old Dave or Beau. This is gonna be good. <evil laugh>  |
