Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 05:54 pm     Let's get back to business... Starting off with recaps of the last week... Either I missed the theme song, or they came up with some new music... amy is frustrated right now... last week zack, then toni.... she is the only person who keeps him sane. thinks they are on the same page in the way they think. thinks they will make it to the end together... holly hates that everything is split between newbies and originals... thinks it is stupid. everyone getting invitations to an all day excursion. the top two winners get to join the next new guest on their excursion. dressing in comfortable clothes for the day. they are bowling!!! each gets one game. the 2 highest persons get to go with the new guy. dave competed in bowling league in his younger days... doesn't drink when he competes so he can play sober. says keith and beau are good players along with himself... amy screaming as keith plays... amy screams out diarrhea and caca when dave is up and he scratches... now up to beau and keith... amy is such a <M>!!! says she wants to give keith rat poison and trip him down the stairs and drown him... tara says lets have fun and amy says fine have fun and tara says i am... ooohhh, talk about a bitter woman. she makes toni seem like an awesome bunkmate at this moment!!! on a side note, the storms seem to be rolling in... i will hang in here as long as i can... |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 05:55 pm     is anyone watching/reading right now that i can pass this over to if i have to go? if not, i will take notes -- no biggie! |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:01 pm     amy will see to it if keith is off before any other originals... alex hates that amy is with beau. doesn't want her influenced by beau... he's seen people change over the last two days... groups come to the couch to meet host amanda. ladies get to choose the next guy to come to paradise... the hotel candidate is someone from their past -- it is someone from week 2... tom from new jersey. was rejected because he came on too strong. (showing that live segment that he did before) tom rodriquez... introducing him and the mates are booing... hopes they get to meet him and get to know him better. the twist is that there are no other competitors and tom is automatically entered into paradise. he has to pick a roommate tomorrow and will split up a couple. |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:11 pm     everyone sitting around talking... saying tom is a shocker choice... toasting to tom with mixed drinks... tome thinks that paradise is much more different than he thought... alex thinks that beau is being a big arse right now because he talked bad about tom via satellite and now is his best friend... dave is nervous about being chosen... talking to charla who is DRUNK!!!! she is slurring all over the place and rocking in her chair.. dave is telling tom that the originals will chose over him any day... keith says that he has to see who is top dog and make a bold move. tom says he respects what keith did because that is "what he would have did." the more new people who come in, the happier keith is... holly and scott... it was nice really nice... he is going to be honest with her... she has to use the new guy to get him to choose her... asks if she wants to take a shower... she giggles and they go off.. keith asks if she wants to take a shower... then he laughs and says didn't someone use that on you? he wants to know who she has been with... says tom pulled him aside tonight to talk to him. keith wasn't sure if he wanted to pick him as a roommate... keith says nothing is going to happen between them tonight because she is too drunk -- good choice -- she is hiccuping, says she does it all the time... |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:14 pm     OOPS! I was rereading and realized that in the opening segment... Amy was talking about BEAU when she says that he keeps her sane, they are on the same page, yada yada yada... i forgot to type his name! I was looking at him but forgot to type him out!  |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:15 pm     Paul the Butler just announced that there will be a show The Next Joe Millionaire this fall on FOX! |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:22 pm     keith asks charla if she is crying because he is leaving to the pool... they began to talk but dave knocked on the door to talk strategy... tara and alex slithered into dave's room while he was sleep and tried to scare him... no wthey are in beau and amy's room... (do these doors not lock????) showing tom in his room talking to himself (playing crazy man/circus music in the background) dave asking tom who he is going to pick... ceremony time... everyone is in beachwear casual. midday chosing... one of these guys will be a vulnerable outcast for the rest of the week.... tom chooses...... HOLLY!!!!! Scott and Holly look shocked and dismayed... Tome takes off the black necklace and gives it to Scott. Tom smile-smirks at Holly and she turns away... |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:31 pm     tom is talking to his pet stuffed animal monkey, smokey... he's a fry short of a happy meal if you ask me... not the sharpest crayon in the box.... shall i go on??? showing him interacting with his monkey... palying to the camera... meanwhile, holly and scott make out in his room. everyone gets an invitation to high stakes gambling 11-2AM.. the gentleman with the highest amount of money is SAVED FROM EVICTION!!! amy doesn't understand... beau says just win a bunch of money and give it to me!!! tom, keith, and dave realize it is now about the guys teaming up with guys to help each other out to be safe. keith says tom is not the brightest kid... cut to tom jumping into the pool onto a green air mattress... i swear he is "the mole"! for those of you not watching... remember how we felt when dave let loose the first week on the show? let that loose ten times that and throw away his "meds" and you have tom!!!! |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:43 pm     everyone getting dressed in evening gowns and tuxes for the night... host amanda starts the night off... $5000 PH dollars to play with... will cash out tonight and totals will be counted out in the AM. The ladies will give the man of their choice their money to help him out. The winner is saved for the week, gets the lady of his choice, AND gets to send a man packing this week! Might I say, Amy is already on a roll... everyone is drinking and throwing cards around... amy and alex in cahoots... she is playing and winning... cut to alex saying we wnat keith gone, we want keith gone... dave has about $10,000 PH dollars... kristin is talking aloud and causing a distraction... okay, now they are being nasty... time is up.... women can give their money to any man by tomorrow morning... amy says may the best man win... show is over!!! on the next show: more twists are coming... casino night is over but the wheeling and dealing isn't done... which guy will win the most money?... will scott and holly act on their desires? what will everyone do when they find out that alex and kristin cheated (at casino night)... is tom losing it in paradise or is he just crazy?... (flash to him wearing a gold lamee(?) dress walking through the curtain doors... all this and more on the next Paradise Hotel! (Just noticed that that song "I've Got Two Tickets to Paradise" didn't play at the end... maybe they finally got rid of it!!! Pretty good show if I must say so myself... |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 06:52 pm     I am still trying to figure out why they chose this guy, Tom, to come on the show... From what I can tell, he was up against Dave to come to the hotel but because he was so harsh (he was the one who told Beau he wouldn't bring the stuh-stuh-stuh-tering DJ to paradise...) Oh, I don't know... Dave said something about working hard to get on the show and now Tom just shows up... I didn't see Dave in the flashback segments, but I could be mistaken... Amy is still as bitter as all get out but suprisingly Kristin got a little catty, too. She an Alex are becoming a modern day "Boris & Natasha"... Scott and Holly are in heat, and Charla just can't get a man -- drunk or otherwise! |
Realitynut | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:32 pm     Sureal- thank you so much for the recaps. You do a great job. Are you really Bunny from the BB board? LOLOL You have the same sense of humor, and that's what makes it so much fun to read your posts. |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:37 pm     I wish I was but I am a just a "wishful thinking" columnist! Thanks!  |
Surealityjunkie | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:45 pm     I was rereading and found ANOTHER omission... in the 6:31 segment, Keith was talking to Charla. He asked her if she wanted to take a bath and then said that he heard someone used that on her already (flash Matt JC asking Charla if she wanted to take a bath with him...) -- pick up from here the rest of the story... sorry!  |
Kappy | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:40 pm     Great job Sureality!! Ayeee, can Amy get any worse? I wonder what they're going to feel like when they realize how the outside world perceives them as being so childish and horrendous in their behavior. I would be running away from this nightmare of a hotel so fast because of these originals! I want to see how they handle Alex's cheating next week. If this had been a real casino, he'd be in jail. |
Realitynut | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 01:19 am     I'm hoping they make him be the one who goes rather than the one who wins the most. These originals are so cocky and arrogant, they just have to leave soon. I wonder if they were always horrible people or if the show made them that way. |
Kellee | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 03:28 am     Okay I am sorry between Amy, Kristin and Alex I cant chose which one I want to beat the crap out of more..they are all down right annoying and rude...sure Amy can yell out things so Dave loses concentration but if Dave nicely asks a girl to leave he gets taken on the carpet for it????...what is up with that? I am sorry they are getting ruder and more pushy by the second... Here is what I am hoping...Holly gives her money to Scott...Tara and Charla discuss with Keith and Dave which one would have the most money if they pooled it.... they choose that one...Kristin tells Amy that Alex would have the most if they pooled their money...so Beau is left hanging in the wind....and then after all is said and done ...and the totals are handed in..the host announces since Alex cheated he is eliminated from the competition and Amy and Kristin's money is gone as well...this causes a rift between Beau Amy and Alex and Kristin...and who ever it is that gets to pick sends home Alex...wishful thinking huh? I think Tom is playing crazy for the cameras and as part of the game...he has obviously been watching the show... he knows if he comes in there strong into game playing they will eliminate him...this way he seems some what harmless in the sense of the game ..his chance of survival while the Orginals and the News fight it out is better if he is seen as crazy rather than as a threat right? |
Tagurit | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 04:14 am     Great job sureality! I enjoyed last night's episode. Dave is really competitive isn't he?! I'm glad he was in a calm mood when gambling. I didn't see the need for Kristen yelling things out at the table. I guess it was the alcohol. Why in the world did Alex think stealing the chips would be smart?!? As someone said, he'd be in jail in a real world casino. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out on Wednesday. I want him to have the most money and then be told he is eliminated due to cheating. Then they show everyone the video from that night. I'll enjoy seeing him squirm. I was figuring Tom was just playing nuts for the camera but several times he did make me wonder. lol I really didn't think Holly would stay with him. He did seem to entertain himself being alone though. lol |
Dogdoc | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 05:49 am     Keith keeps going up in my estimation. I like that he turned down Charla's advances because she was drunk.I saw a show once were they filmed college kids at a drinking party and then showed the film to the kids the next day. Most of them were shocked at how they bad they looked and didn't remember doing the things they did. |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 06:58 am     Okay, I don't know if Tom is acting crazy or IS crazy but, whether this is a tactic or not, he looks pretty stupid in a room by himself dancing around with a monkey -- or is it just me? If it is a tactic -- he should really let us know! I can't stand watching loose cannons on TV who give us high school antics because they think that is what we want and he thinks he looks funny... ugh... Do you think they showed us Alex's cheating last night on tv? Remember when he was playing at the card table with Amy and they would show his slight of hand over some white chips? I didn't think at that moment he was "cheating cheating." I thought he was giving Amy his money to play with because she was "good luck" and was taking what Amy was winning (that was really his money)... But hey, maybe he was taking Amy's money that she was winning at that moment (she seemed to be on a roll at one point -- pre-shouting obscenities) and instead of waiting until the AM for her money, he was taking it and making it into more money like he had earned it... does that make sense?? |
Tagurit | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:01 am     Sureality - yes, they showed us Alex cheating. When we saw him adding to Amy's bet he was "padding" it after the start of the hand. Very much cheating. If it were real world casino, there would be a pitt boss standing there and would of snagged him right away or the high tech survelliance would have. I swear I thought I saw him slide a chip down his shirt at one time but not sure. Dh thinks he did too but we didn't tape it so can't go back and look. And in any case, even if they didn't "show" us the cheating, Alex was bragging how much he stole to Kristin in the bathroom. We saw a hand put some chips in a pocket too. Yes, it is all editing and who knows if it is Alex but they wanted us to think it was. We'll see on Wednesday. Alex also was very defensive just having Dave stand behind him when he was counting out his chips. That right there tells you he is guilty. If he had nothing to hide, he wouldn't of gone off like that. I find him and Kristin extremely pathetic in resorting to cheating to stay in the game. What I am curious about - did Amy fully know what was going on? Or was this all Alex's idea and he just let Kristin in on it? |
Hoosiergirl | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:07 am     Re Alex and the white chips - Kirsten already had a winning hand. Alex slipped a few chips on top of her bid pile (after her hand had been dealt) so the dealer would pay out more. Then he pocketed those chips. That's cheating the house. Big time. Plus, he palmed Kirsten's chips. She held the power to decide who to give them to. Thus he cheated HER by taking away her choice to decide who to give them to. I hope, as well, that they reveal his cheating and show the videotape to the rest of the HGs. But I don't want him eliminated. I'd rather see Amy, Scott and Beau turn on him. I just can't believe he did that. He was my favorite amongst the originals. Bad Alex! And I agree about Amy. Get over it. I guess they edited out the part where she explained to Keith who should have gone instead of Zack. I wished Keith had pressed her on that. It would have driven a wedge between the originals a lot sooner. It's only a matter of time before they self-destruct. I like Keith, he's got some balls! |
Realfan | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:16 am     I changed my mind. I don't think Dave should have to kick Alex out. I think the producers should do it. Then Dave could kick out Scott or Beau, obliterating the last of the original men. GAME ON! |
Surealityjunkie | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 08:34 am     Hoosiergirl, On the Yahoo! Platinum feeds, I watched the 9min arguement/curse fest between Keith and Amy and she never gave in and said who she thought should go in his place... I recapped that conversation as best I could in an earlier post last week. There was so much yelling and cussing that I could keep up!!! As far as Amy being in the know, during next weeks previews there is a part where she is in Kristin's face (I believe) screaming (really?), "If you have a problem with me why didn't you just come to me!!" or something to that effect. It looks like when all the truths come out, all heck breaks loose! I agree, I didn't know if it would be as interesting with Toni gone, but I am loving the melt down of all these people as the stakes get higher. It's interesting to watch the Originals self-destruct, lose trust, and have meltdowns as they struggle to stay in "control" of the game. If Beau was smart, he would jump ship while he has a chance... I think Amy/Alex/Kristin will drop him as soon as they can. |
Alisons | Tuesday, August 12, 2003 - 09:03 am     I think they should eliminate both Kirsten and Alex for cheating AND do another male elimination. It looked like Amy was getting into it with Kirsten and Alex on the preview. HOW could Kirsten and Alex be SO SILLY as to think that they would not be caught cheating??? You only have about 10 cameras and mikes on you dudes! Sheesh! Well, I guess it is not exactly a group of Nobel Prize winners! ; ) |
