This is my first post. Have been a reader but never registered. This is in regards to the rumors as to how it ends and who Keith picked. Read on if you want to know.

On Page 76 of this week's US Weekly (JLO on cover) in the what to watch this week, they give a picture and a little paragraph to watch and say there are 3 huge twists.

In the picture are all the 15 contestants who were elminated who I guess make up the jury. Capital Letters are the people who were elminated this week.

On Bottom from left to right. (ALex, Kristen, Amy, Zach)
Middle( Kavita, Desiree, Toni, Amanda, HOLLY)
Back Row: (Matt, Tom, Andon, Beau, SCOTT, Melanie)

Thank you, you made my day!!!! That is the BEST kind of spoiler there is. I love it when the producers make a mistake and let us know what is going to happen. I'm going out to see if I can find the magazine to post the photo.

If it's true, this really is the worst production staff ever in terms of not letting things get out.

From constantly revealing who is safe and who isn't from commercial footage, to putting the boot order in the credits, to this US Weekly thing....

When I look at this picture I am struck by the fact that everyone seems to be paired up:

Alex - Kristen
Zack - Amy
Matt - Kavita
Tom - Desiree
Andon - Toni
Beau - Amanda
Scott - Holly & Melanie

I wonder if this has something to do with the "twist"?

LOL! I wonder what the huge twists will be. Obviously, one must be that they'll have a jury. As long as Dave & Charla win, I don't much care what the twists are.

I heard a radio interview with Dave and he said that there is a Twist next week that even shocked him. Basically, he said he has been able to figure out all the twists but this one really amazed him.

thank ya eguds and chrissy for putting my nerves at ease.

Desiree: Is that an upside down teacup on her head?
Zack: nice buzz cut, is he "in the army now?"

Enquiring minds want to know,


Don't care which Fab 4 win as long as Jury is miserable.

Just a thought...it looks like all of the women had seats until Holly was put in the middle row with the girls. Melanie was probably sitting in that seat, with Matt behind her, and they moved a few people around to accomodate the new couple. Maybe it's a set up. We've been fooled!

Thanks for the pic...they all look mad. And you would think that to be in people it would be a better pic, I mean look in the corner you see part of someone's head.


"RE: ***Major Spoiler in US Weekly about finale***"
Posted by Chrissy gal on 09-29-03 at 09:28 PM
The "part of someone's head" in the picture is from another picture on the same page on the magazine. They had the two pictures overlap for some reason. It has nothing to do with P-Ho.

Anyone else think it's kinda wierd the Kristen & Alex and Zack & Amy get to all sit, while all the guys from the rest of the couples have to stand?

Are they too cheap to have chairs for everyone... or is there something significant about Kristen & Alex and Zack & Amy?


"RE: ***Major Spoiler in US Weekly about finale***"
Posted by LadyT on 09-27-03 at 12:34 PM
Excellent catch in finding this and thank you for posting this.

Maybe the huge twist is one of two things. They don't vote for a couple, but individual people. Or the jury votes another couple on, like Love Cruise, and they get to vote between the three of them. In which, the Barbies lose.



"RE: ***Major Spoiler in US Weekly about finale***"
Posted by munson on 09-27-03 at 03:14 PM
or....how about switching up the couples?

Just trying to find any way for Keith AND Charla to win. Kind of a shame that one of those two is gonna lose.

Posted by eguds on 09-28-03 at 10:54 AM
Anyone else think with the jury and the barbies as the final 4, this will make the first survivor's finale seem like sunday brunch. Remember Susan Hawk's sppech, If I see you dying on the road I would not stop to give you a drink of water.

I would not mind if Charla and Keith win as they deserve it most. Weren't there news reports that Keith and Tara moved in together.

Eguds-

Has anyone seen Toni since the finale? Maybe she's blind now. Maybe her eyes will buldge right out of her head if she's forced to vote for one of the barbie's. Would that be benificial or detremental to her looks, do you think? Wow, I'm a mean mean reality T.V. junkie.

Yeah I remember Sue's speech. She kinda reminds me of Toni in about 10 years. Except Toni will be doing cheap porn flicks - I mean "Independent Films" LOL.

What a stupid episode it will be if that's what it is. The originals getting to gang up on them AGAIN.

Does the final prize really matter or is this a way for Fox producers to get everyone back on for more conflict?


"PEOPLE possible spoiler too"
Posted by leannerenee on 09-29-03 at 10:17 AM
People this week said that all 15 contestants were back for the finale... could this mean they are a jury, as has been speculated?

It's more than speculation, FOX announced in a press release way back in late August that they will be the jury -- we used the press release as the basis for our story on 8/30:

Maybe they brought the 'pissed off picked off' group back just to observe and let Team Barbie gloat a while since they seemed to have caught all the flack when boot-ees (or should that be booties or boobies) visited before.

LOL to the cup-o-hat that Dizzy-re has on. But it looks like a board with circles behind her and the corner of one of them catches the edge of her hat in the picture.

Does anyone remeber the realty show love cruise the maiden voyage? Toni was in that one and she was just as dramatic as ever. She started hooking up with this guy named Tony and ended up kicking him off as soon as she suspected from a rumor he was hitting on some other girl. I foreget who one but it was not her. In that she she had revealed she had had a boob job and kept bragging about it. In this show she was harassing Kristen as to whether she had a boob job or not. Is Tony and actress hired by fox to have an inside spy on their reality shows. Why else would she be the only old bag on the show full of young people in their 20's?

Welcome to SB juniorgina.

One of our posters at this site was Michael on the "Love Cruise". Most of us started watching Paradise Hotel to see Toni go nuts agian. We had no idea just how nuts she really is. All of the participants were paid, but we don't know if Toni was an inside spy.

Did you know that Kavita was also on another reality TV show? It was called Exiled!2 and one of our posters, JeffGator, was on that reality show with her.

Also, did you know that Tara was in the promotional pictures for Paradise Hotel?

Any three of these people, or any others, could have been a "mole" for the producers. I guess we will see on Wednesday when the "twists" are exposed.

She is just such a hag not most people that you she a ##### its sometimes a complitment to a strong women but she just has noclue how desperate for attention she is always looking. Can't wait to see how it all ends. I hope the ban Toni from anymore shows. They should had let Amy be head ##### and had some one else instead of Toni. No one of the girls on the show was genuinly sweet. They need at least one true sweet girl to balance out all the psycho and backstabbers.

US Magazine photo inadvertently reveals 'Paradise Hotel' finalists


More Paradise Hotel News
By AyaK, 09/29/2003

The current edition of US Magazine includes a brief mention of this week's upcoming finale of Fox's Paradise Hotel -- along with a picture that appears to inadvertently reveal the identities of the show's "Final Four" contestants. The picture, discussed on the Reality TV World message boards, is a photograph of the jury, apparently taken during the finale. Thus, the four contestants not in the photo make up the final two couples.

WARNING: This story contains spoiler information. Don't read any further if you don't want to know!

Back in August, Fox announced that the booted contestants would make up the jury who selected the game's winner. Somewhat surprisingly, or perhaps not, Fox provided US Magazine with what appears to be a photograph of the jury. The photo accompanies US Magazine's mention of the finale's October 1 air date, from 8-10 PM. By identifying the jury, the two remaining "couples" can be determined, despite Fox's intention to keep the final boot as a "cliffhanger."

Jury members shown in the photo are as follows:

Men: Alex, Zach, Matt, Tom, Andon, Beau, Scott.
Women: Melanie, Kristen, Amy, Kavita, Desiree, Toni, Amanda, Holly.

Thus, Scott and Holly are the final couple eliminated, and the final two couples are Dave and Charla and Keith and Tara. Presuming that, unlike Fox's 2001 show Love Cruise, no couples are "brought back" into the final vote, the "victory" will go to two of the members of "Team Barbie."

Under normal circumstances, we'd qualify a spoiler such as this as possibly being deliberately misleading. However, considering all of the information flow from Paradise Hotel prior to this, we accept the photo -- and the final four -- at face value. Hopefully we won't have to be wiping egg off of that face...

Thanks for posting that. I heard about it from a couple different people, but now that i've seen the pic I can actually believe it. but like someone else mentioned, what if this leak is deliberate just to fake us out? That would suck so bad. I am hoping that the "twist" isn't the same as the retarded LoveCruise twist where they bring back another couple that was already kicked off. They already did that once and it would be BEYOND unfair if one of our fab 4 didn't win after everything they've done to get this far. It's rediculous to think that FUX would actually be so stupid as to bring back another couple AGAIN after doing it once in the show. Let's just hope they don't, shall we!

There's new week 16 pics of Amanda VOTING, Amy looking so lovingly at Zack, Tara looking unhappy, Matt looking frustrated, the group toasting, Tom fresh out of the pool and the orig's together in the pool with a caption that states "No this isn't week one".

I'm glad someone else feels the same. I am salivating at the thought that the Barbie's may get to strut in front of the originals.

Here are a few twists I would love to see:

Maybe the producers were wise and issued a gag order on all of the originals during the finale. They are not allowed to say a thing while they are on.

The Barbies are allowed to hurl rotten tomatoes at the originals to get out all of the pent-up frustrations.

Two of the Barbies win the prize but are allowed to share it with the rest of the Barbies. Or even, they are allowed to pick one girl and one guy from the originals to share it with (maybe Matt and Amanda).

I can accept the possibility (fact) that there will be a jury, even if it is derivative of Survivor. But why would there be a "mole", like on uhh, "The Mole"? With the cameras, the producers can see everything and know what's happening in any "secret" meetings. And with this bunch of egomaniacs, it would tough to affect the game

"Spoiler and Twist revealed..."
Posted by crackpot on 09-30-03 at 05:31 PM
I believe the Finale winners were revealed quite a while ago.

Keith and Tara will win and the "twist" will be that they must get married in order to claim the UP. This is why (host) Amanda says that there is something the winners "must do in order to claim the prize" -

Several ousted guests (mostly OG) have made vague references that the Finale is "funny" and "unrealistic".

There was also a news tidbit in the Columbus Dispatch that apparently mentioned 'newlyweds' Keith and Tara being big winners in a reality series - needless to say it was pulled pretty quckly - although they have been seen together all over LA and SoCal (where Tara lives).

Keep in mind - I am just relaying information. There's more speculation that the big twist could be that either Keith or Tara (or both) are moles, employed by FOX - this is the most current rumor on FOX - if you listen to Dave's radio interview (it's easy to find) you will hear him mention that most the twists in the game did not really shock him, however the final twist, he claims, blew his socks off -

Fat to chew on,

Cheers

Jason
