Hi all. We have read all the messages sent up to 9/21, and Ziggy your comments really rang true with us. We are a 30something couple who, embarrasingly enough, got hooked on this show. We agree that the originals lost all concept of reality on a reality show. Did someone forget to clue them in that it was a game?? I believe it was Dave that said early this month that he was glad that the originals remaining were finally playing the game. Not just having a 8week=plus vacation. We agreed that if we were single and got on the show that even a week would be paradise (We would not worry about dealing with the crap) we would tan, swim, drink, and be merry and drink for as long as anyone would have us (all on Fox's dime)!!!

We live in the Chicago area and have family in Arizona and can say that both areas of the country are extremely embarrased by the behavior of those that hail from these great areas. We all know what guests are from Arizona.

Paradise Hotel fact: Some of you may have heard that Toni is from Chicago. Did anyone catch her other TV performance on Blind Date? Yes. She was just as manly and grotesque on that show as well. Not that we watch it, but it was late and we were channel surfing and holy hormones there she was. Minus the pants suit this time. But we are sure that there was lots of sweat there (Shudder!). In watching her on P-ho we came to the conclusion that she was trying to get with (we mean "get with") any woman that would have her. Our suspicions were confimed on Blind Date, when she told the poor guy that she had only "reached the top of the mountain" (if you know what we mean?) with a woman, never yet with a man. (AAHH clue)

So we just thought we would let everyone know that this ray of light helped us to better understand her aggressive behavior with Dave, Keith, etc... (anyone that could go without a shirt on national television).

Can't say anymore about the originals than hasn't already been said. One final little comment: Did Zack realize that his comment to Keith (that got him kicked off) could also be considered verbal assault. Didn't the Scottish/Irish Lawyer in him send him a clue? Perhaps on the day he was told to take the barr, he went to the local watering hole in AZ.

P.S- Wouldn't it be funny if the prize was toaster oven?
But then again, none of the originals would know how to operate it. They would argue over who gets toast first. Perhaps fighting over the prize is P-ho II. LOL!

Good luck to Charla, Dave or Keith and Tara.
Your friends in Chicago-- Mike and Missy
