Does anyone here have Yahoo Platinum? I was thinking of going for the free trial but wonder if it is worth it, in terms of the 24/7 Paradise Hotel Cam
Thx

Irene,

I have the Yahoo! Platinum feeds. You might try out the free trial and see what you think. There is NOT a 24/7 Hotel cam. What they have are more complete segments of the show that were edited for television time sake. To top it off, the segments for this week were from things that happened LAST week, so your special video is, for all practical purposes, a week old... I was unable to cancel after my two week free trial so I have it for the next month (which is almost up). I have already canceled, so once it is over that's it for me. If you have DSL or Cable Modem it might be worth but if you have dial-up, I wouldn't waste my time past the trial, the connection just isn't good enough...

Hope this helps!

thx sureal! Sometimes signing up and then the hassle of canceling aren't worth the effort so I think based on what you said that I'll give it a miss. Thx for the info!

tara is in sexy bikini in a black/white suit ... :tara the terrible."

keith to alex: is it true on casino night you knew about some cheating that was going on?

alex's reply: AFTER THE COMMERCIAL!!!

alex: yes, it is interesting that everyone knew about the cheating before dave got the money and people still wanted to give us the money but after the vote off it became a problem

kristin to dave: how are you going to be able to handle being king given your childsih behavior...

dave: not to hurt people but he thinks people are childish at PH will do his best... not worried

alex final speech: fun chart -- he says that if he becomes king he will raise the bar of fun back to where it was when they first arrived from "average gun" back up to "scary fun"...

dave's final speech: great speech, to alex, but has to disagree about fun being important... he wants to create an atmosphere where it doesn't matter if you are an original or new but a place where relationships are based on respect

to tara: when beau was sent home you seemed like you didn't want him to go, but you gave dave the money... she gave him the money not knowing who dave was sending home

amy: grudges.. as far as grudges go, yes, i see it more as revenge. if i change my ways then i will come off as inconsistent...

amy says if they don't have fun then they will all go insane like she almost did a couple of weeks ago.

voting is coming up next... they are voting in a "survivor-esque" manner... walking up to a box and placing votes in but we only see two choices...

alex: alex and tara... kristin: the same

the winners are... AFTER THE COMMERCIAL!!!

OMG sureal, I cant believe you've been typing!! Wow!!

Show's over!! I cant believe they didnt pick Amy, they really gambled that she would walk with Kristin, it was a good gamble.. till it blows up in thier faces!!

So, next week, new Queen, and King, will they pick better? Will Keith and Charla ever be "safe" , I cant believe Tara was going after Charla, Dave better divulge that lil tidbit eh?

thx surizzle. wow so there is an ending in site.

thanks y'all!...

hey, in an effort to "be accurate" -- in the opening segment, CHARLA said to KEITH "you can't keep your hands off of me for more than an hour, can you?" not keith to charla like i typed -- oops!

And, yes, Squared -- there is FINALLY an end in sight! Don't get me wrong, I like this show, but I just feel like I am being strung along until they figure out what the ultimate prize is!!!

I am going to check out the BB Spoilers for tonight, but tell me this, did I miss anything major tonight? Big twist and all???

Reader, I'm pretty sure Tara was teasing Dave when she said she wanted Charla out. The look on his face was hysterical!

Enjoyed last night's episode. I am glad they got rid of Kristin. It was good to see that they didn't get rewarded for cheating. I really wondered for a moment or two if Amy was going to walk. Dave shouldn't of said "I'll miss you" to lead her on but I am sure he didn't want her exploding in the room with him and Tara. And I agree with Kathyb, Tara was just playing with Dave regarding Charla. His facial expression was priceless! lol

Are they continuing the King and Queen thing? I never saw mention that they were, could of missed that though. I am glad no newbies are coming. I want to see them pick off each other now. This will get interesting.

I really don't know who I feel worse for - Charla or Alex - having to room together. lol Doubt Alex will spend any time in that room. I think it was Dave's doing as he was jealous of her being with Keith. What a thing to do though! lol

I have to say giving a necklace to Smokey the Monkey was kind of funny last night. Seems everyone has a good sense of humor. Amy's bathsuit outfit was outrageous! She looks so different with red hair. And, what was with that pink bow on Amanda's top in the beginning?! All I saw was pink bow for heaven sake!

On a side note - I was getting so sick of all the commercial's for Temptation Island 3. Makes me not even want to tune in. If I had to see that blondie cry, "I just want to go home!" one more, I was going to scream!

sureal great job as always! Thanks again for the terrific spoiling. I try to flip between BB and Paradise and I know I am safe because, if I miss anything (eg I missed Dave's answer to the "I want Charla out" and the fact that Tara was joking as I turned back too late!!) I always know that you will be there to fill me in. :)

Did you catch the bit when Tara and Dave were making the roommate pairings that she was considering putting Amy with Keith so she definitely would have wanted to walk?!? They should have done it! Darn. I was thinking they should have mixed all the pairings up, not just a couple. It would have been better if they had Amy/Keith, Charla/Tom, Desiree/Scott and Holly/Alex. That was cruel to put Charla with Alex.

I did like Smokey getting a necklace too :) I think Tom and Smokey may be related because they look alike a little

Amy has already roomed with Keith--when she was most furious with him and he kicked Zack off. Even that didn't make her walk. She just slept in Toni's room, I think. The "walk" comment could have been made at any time--I think they hoped the whole night would make her walk, because she wasn't getting her way.

Amy was hilarious to watch. She wimped out big time. All that rhetoric about how she was supposed to go--then the host tells her she can go ahead and leave, and she dithers around, and almost none of the guests say anything, until FINALLY Alex and Desiree tell her she should stay--so she grasps onto that excuse and stays. UGH. I hate girls like her. They make a public display out of everything. And she thinks she's not a drama queen? Hah!

Dave and Tara ROCK. They did a great job kicking out Kristen (loved Tara's "Cheaters are gone!" comment). And despite Charla's reservations, Tara seems to have become a rock solid member of the new alliance of four (Keith, Charla, Dave, Tara).

Now, if they can only get li'l Smokey on their side . . .

Didn't Amy decide to stay when Amanda announced that there would be no more new guests at the hotel? I think that's what really sealed it for her to stay.

Grooch,

If I recall correctly, Host Amanda did not make that announcement until the preview segment for Monday's show...

I still don't quite get the logic in pairing Alex/Charla... If anything it was the biggest dig on him. He goes from losing his bedmate/pal to bunking with the person he likes the least and thinks is least deserving to be there. Since Alex hinted around that he thought Charla should go, I think Dave and Tara did it is a big ol' slap in the face. Personally, I hate it for Charla, but love it for Alex!

Curiouscat

Alex had quite the audacity to ask Dave to oust Charla. I thought Dave did a fine job when talking to Alex about it.

Talking about them getting Smokey on their side, I was a little surprised to see Tom and Desiree holding up signs for Alex as King. Did anyone notice if Holly and Scott had signs too? I'm just wondering because it may give an indication where the alliances are now.

If a guy is out next, who would you like gone?

Grooch

Friday, August 22, 2003 - 10:11 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Sureality, I think you are right. She had a huge grin on her face like she was thrilled that she decided to stay afterall.

Tagurit

Friday, August 22, 2003 - 10:13 am EditMoveDeleteIP
I was thinking that Dave paired Alex/Charla together so maybe Charla could keep an eye on him. Dave knows Alex will target him so maybe he thought she could be a spy for their alliance. I really wasn't surprised that Alex told Dave to oust Charla. Didn't Charla say to Keith that she was quite surprised no one knew or suspected she and Dave had an alliance?

I thought it was weird that Tom/Desiree had those signs too. It seemed that Tom had a good connection with Keith as they seemed to get along and have good conversations. Maybe it was just to throw them (Alex, et al)off?

Now, what I am wondering is, will they still boot off one gender at a time like always or will they start booting couples?!?!? They said there were to be twists next week. Would be very interesting to me. For an example, they - whomever may be in charge of eliminating people - lets say it is Scott/Amy (going with who they are rooming with last we know) - want to boot Keith but want to keep Holly. Can't do it because she is rooming with Keith, hence she would leave too. That would definitely make it rough on people.

I really think Amy is gonna be pissed when she finds out Alex voted for Tara as queen. I wish they had showed us all the votes at the end of the show like Survivor does. Of course they may end up showing us through flashback scenes over the next few weeks. I can't believe how interested I am in this show considering how much in the dark we are. We have no idea what the prize is, no idea when it ends, or even how many people will get the boot next week.
