Weener - I caught that look too... back to thinking she's the queen of paradise!

I was cringing during Dave's song, and I have no idea what's going on with Desiree... editing is giving us no answers whatsoever!!!!

I guess Zack didn't learn anything after leaving the show. You would think that he would be ashamed of the way he acted and show a little humility. Guess not. Maybe Zack and Amy do deserve each other after all? Amy stating that Zack was her "paradise" on last nights show was kind of scary.

BTW, I forgot about Andon? Anyways, I was wondering who that guy was that was whispering in Dave's ear on the previews for Monday's show.

I got the feeling Desiree was upset that she agreed to vote off Alex after the fact, because she "liked Alex." So she was taking out her guilt on the girls who "made her do it." Which begs the question, who would she have voted out? Twit. She just lost my respect.

Tagurit, ITA. I hate this idea. It's completely unfair. There's a reason people are VOTED OFF of shows and can't come back. That's the whole point. Of course, they keep changing the rules, but they have beenn talking about a "last couple standing," which means the guests have to be whittled down. Bringing all of the oldies back hardly accomplishes that. Even if it's just to rag on people, it's really unfair to the core four alliance, because they had to work hard to oust the originals--who, being "vicitimized," can play all innocent and act like they did nothing wrong.

If the worst Andon can say about Charla is that she said bad things about Dave, though, maybe she'll do OK. Dave already knows that, but he's so ultra sensitive, he'll be hurt all over again.

I thought his behavior and jealousy toward Charla and Keith was ludicrous. Yes, he has a crush on Charla, but she hasn't been leading him on. He knows she's not interested in him romantically. Let the girl be, for God's sake. What, she has to be a nun for you in paradise? And Keith, too. Is Dave going to let his flirting with Charla jeopardize the alliance? Idjit.

<<I don't like Zack's threatening remark to Keith " I will see you in Arizona with about 50 men.">>

He's such a low-class loser. He needs to be gone, and take Amy with him.

Tara surprised me. Good on her! She is able to separate the game and the flirting. I loved her bit to the camera, about liars, cheaters, and "stealers." : )

Realfan - ITA with your read on Desiree and didn't know it until I read your post - excellent call! Twit indeed.

I am glad to see some of you don't care for the old guests returning. I don't even know if I will tune in next week. (Ok, I probably will as I will be sucked in by the train wreck. lol) I don't enjoy people being hurt on purpose. Many of the old guests have grudges and will be out to get certain people. I think it is horrible.

I did catch Amy's expression on the previews. Makes me sick. She is so full of herself now. Just pathetic.

Realfan, that makes perfect sense regarding Desiree. I was confused with her sudden change in talking with Tom and then with Amy. I loved Tara's camera bit too! :)

Thanks, Weener and Tagurit. I just think she's shellshocked from having to vote anyone off. She never had to before, being the newest person there.

(Desiree: Get over it, hon. Haven't you been watching the show?)

I still can't get over Zaqqqkc's lame threat to Keith next week about how he's going to get 50 of his boys to beat up Keith when he goes to Arizona! (Or something like that). Grow up already!

I am way disappointed that Amy will now go through life thinking if she screams at people and acts like a total drama queen she will eventually get her way. UGH!! Thanks a lot, Fox. Can't stand seeing the smirk that's sure to appear next week.

Give me a break already. ALL THE OLD GUESTS ARE COMING BACK????? YAK!!!! I don't think I can look at Toni''s bug eyes for 1 hour let alone the Amy "tude". I felt very sorry for Dave last night. I heard Scott tell him to suck it up and that is just what he should do. Charla gave me a "hint" that she enjoyed knowing Dave was jealous. Should prove to be veddddy interesting.

What happened to Amanda's exit line for every hotel guest that got voted off...you are leaving Paradise forever?

I thought that meant there wouldn't be any of them returning???

It will make for some interesting viewing but it is mean to bring back the others. They are just making this show up as they go. When in the heck are we gonna find out the prize? That is driving me nuts!!

The "banished" guests are going to pick who they want to win the prize - which would mean Amy & Scott would win...this is my guess.

Maybe they will eliminate one guy and one girl... but you know what, now that I think about it, people could tell Scott that Amy (and others)wanted him out. I am sure there is other stuff, too, but my mind is blank. I am so glad that I can come back and read the analysis here because I don't have a chance to really process the show because I am too busy focusing on "what they are saying" so I can type it as accurately as possible. So I guess I should say thanks to you guys, too!

part of an article from zap2it.....

FOX promises that in addition to this injection of truth, the living arrangements will also change dramatically in the weeks to come leading up to the finale on Wednesday, Oct. 1. That two-hour episode will find the final four contestants facing a jury of their peers -- former residents of Paradise. Those guests will determine who wins that final prize.

Wilson would you mind posting a link to the article pretty please? I can't find it on zap2it and I was wanting to read it :) Thank you!

Ew. If the eliminated people are the ones voting, I really don't care to watch anymore. I know this "game" is ridiculous and totally at the whim of the producers...why make the rules so that someone unlikable (or, at the very least, forgettable) will win? Change the game so a fan favorite can win, people! :)

And yes -- I realize that drama is good...blah, blah, blah. But I thought people like Zach, Amy, and Toni were too nasty at times. They were entertaining mainly because they were the "bad guys" who eventually got their comeuppance (well, Zach and Toni did -- I thought Amy would as well). I don't want to see them come back, dominate the game, threaten and bully others, and then win.

I do hope that the more sane learn to put it in perspective. This is what you get when you sign up for a reality show with no set premise or rules, apparently...lol.

Nice to see that Zach has changed from saying he just wants to take care of Amy and regrets being so mean/arrogant on the show to outright threatening to attack a contestant. Real step up there. Can someone please return him to the supermarket?

OCT 1ST! I thought they were dragging it out with a September finale but now it is OCT! Oh my. I don't think I need a double dose of old guests returning either. First we have to deal with all of them this week and then whoever gets to choose the winner at the end. And, we all know for conflict and tension purposes, Toni and Zach will be back yet again for that! Yuck!

Thanks Surealityjunkie! That's interesting, but I still can't get over that they are bringing back former hotel guests. I really thought they couldn't do that because Amanda kept saying they were voted off and they had to leave Paradise forever. I'm starting to think they are just making this up as they go along too, but yet I still watch....hehe :)

EW.com's -- Guilty Pleasures 2003 -- Ranked a "7" behind the Olsen Twins... :)

''Paradise Hotel'' is one of the sleaziest, cheesiest programs to air on television ever. So why do I find it so supremely fascinating? Maybe it's because from the beginning, producers made no bones about their intent, ordering contestants to ''hook up or go home.'' Maybe it's because the program features no goal, no cash prizes, and believe you me, no marriage proposals -- just a bunch of sexy (in most cases...sorry, Dave) singles doing the nasty on camera. But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of ''PH'' (even more than when the ladies made the fellas line up for a mandatory ''butt check'') is how the participants keep obsessing over how they're ''playing the game.'' To get some clarification, I called up ousted blond bombed-shell Toni and asked her what the hell the ''game'' was. ''Your guess is as good as mine,'' she responded. ''And I was in the damn hotel!'' Okay, so that was basically no help whatsoever, but perhaps if I watch much more of this, the real help I require will be of the professional variety. -- Dalton Ross

I've watched everyone on this show smooching at one time or another with someone...except Dave. Has he even gotten a kiss??

Surealityjunkie

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 09:34 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Twinkie: No, I don't think he has gotten an on-air kiss yet. He had a dare to kiss Holly or Tara the first night she arrived (he had until midnight) and that mission failed. He has also tried to come in close to Charla once or twice but she turned away, too.

Didn't Kristin kiss Dave when they had that kissing contest?

Deesandy

Sunday, August 31, 2003 - 09:54 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I hope that Dave is the winner in the end, and then he can get as many kisses as he wants from others who "just loved him" once he is the top dog!

I think that bringing on the old guests is a ploy to buy more time since there isn't a direction for this game, other than the possibility of boring us to death!

I'm really tired of the who like who and who likes who now game and who doesn't like who, etc. Let's hope the end result makes up for dragging this on and on and on...

Maybe the clip showing the HG's returning is the clip from the Oct 1st show and they are only comming back for the finale. In true PH promotion they show teasers of events weeks before they actually air (and then we see them over and over). I think it will be fun to watch the evicted guests tell the others whats been going on behind their backs. My dirty little pleaseure is about to get alot dirtier!
