PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"This show is getting OLD..." |
LAST EDITED ON 07-17-03 AT 11:39 AM (EST)...and I am not referring to Toni's age as she "celebrates" her birthday by crying her bug-eyeballs out and then has to watch Dave give her a striptease. I realized last night that I'm starting to get tired of this show. 1) As far as RTV shows go, this thing might not be TOO bad, if it were moving along to some sort of conclusion. But it doesn't seem to be. It's just... neverending. 2) Same thing every time: Dave is bashed. Dave is humiliated. Dave is tricked into taking stupid bets or doing stupid things (at least he won the tennis game, that time!). Dave used and abused at "Pandora's Box time", but doesn't defend himself (what, is he chairman of the Republican National Committee?!?!  ). Amanda crying every time someone speaks to her. Guys wanting to know why didn't Amanda get the hell out of their hair? Toni trying to get the bug-eyed brutality action going towards Dave. And this is a sudden change of attitude... almost like a producer asked her to. Zack trying to come across as Mr. Street Smarts (and no, Zack, you have no "street cred", your mama was the smart one for dumping you like the sack of $#!+ you are!). I dunno, watching people bash a lifeless punching bag named "Dave" is just not my idea of exciting Reality Television, so sorry. 3) Same thing every time: girls eat breakfast, guys eat breakfast. Somebody gets an envelope. Go to beach to "get away from it all". Go back to hotel. Lounge around. Talk in bedrooms. Lounge around some more. Go eat dinner. Plot. Bash. Go to bed. Sleep together, and I mean literally SLEEP. Not much SEX or even FOREPLAY going on!  4) Was it just me, or did Tara's brilliant beauty just make the other girls look that much worse?!!? And could you just hear the air whistling as it moved through her head? 5) Moving to Tuesday and Wednesday? Trying to compete with Big Brother? Note to PH: You'll lose against BB4. Bad. They actually HAVE SEX on BB4(!) It's time for this show's life to draw peacefully to its close. It's going nowhere. It is lost in a creative wilderness, without purpose, direction, or even a script (sorta like the Democratic Party, eh? ). If there's something they want to do, go ahead and get it done. What little audience is left is going to start bailing out... and me with it.

Fox Books More Time for 'Paradise'
Thu Jul 17, 1:27 AM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters TV to My Yahoo!
By Nellie Andreeva LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox Broadcasting Co. has extended the run of the summer reality series "Paradise Hotel" by six additional weeks with the order of another dozen episodes. The show, which airs twice a week, features a revolving group of single men and women living together in an exotic resort with one guest eliminated every week to make room for a new one. There will be a seamless transition between the initial eight-week run and the new batch of episodes. "Paradise" premiered June 18 to modest ratings but has been inching up in recent weeks, even against heightened competition from unscripted fare on NBC and CBS. "Paradise Hotel" hails from British production company Mentorn and U.S.-based A. Smith & Co. "We're delighted that the audience has found the show and that Fox has given us such a terrific support," executive producer Tom Gutteridge said. "We're thrilled to be extended so soon into our run."

You missed Toni having an illusion that Dave is Shakes' twin brother, and Toni going after Dave with both barrels. I mean she really seems to want the guy dead, and just last week she was defending him.I mean, this show got REALLY ugly during the Pandora's Box time. Dave was relentlessly attacked, and just wouldn't rise to defend himself. Amanda was also slammed. And there's really no reason for all this ill-will, because there are no competitions, like on Survivor, or BB4 for food, etc. Other than roommate-selection-and-elimination-followed-by-newbie-coming-in, all they do is sit around and party like some glorified month-long Spring Break. This show WILL end soon (I mean, they can't keep all these peeps in this hotel with that kind of bill forever, can they?!?!). In other words, you missed nothing worth seeing. You can see pics of Tara elsewhere, and the show has degenerated.

1. THE PRIZE. Yea! I was wondering what the prize was. It seems as though being there--kind of a perpetual vacation--was the prize. But if it's "something money can't buy", it might be a two week stay at the resort with whomever they "hook up" with. Of course, money CAN buy this, but don't tell the PR and Marketing folks. 2. GETTING OLD. I think the producers want to get some new people in there, so they're giving Tara two weeks to get to know people (Kavita and Matt not having fared very well). If all we see is more squabbling amongst the current cast of media-ho's, FOX will be taking up a collection in its news department to pay the bills. 3. TONI V. DAVE. While asking how Toni got on another reality show, how did Dave end up in this small pond of good looking, egotistical, emotionally volatile/fragile exhibitionists? I'd rather see Richard Hatch naked again than Dave with his shirt off. He just doesn't fit the PH mold -- and there is definitely a mold--like those chocolate Easter bunnies that are hollow inside. Did they think that a "dork", as his closest and dearest friends call him, would make for some exciting humiliation scenes? If so, they were right! Dave IS a "dork", but wanting to tar and feather him because he thinks he's smarter than the rest of the bobbleheads makes them all look like Drama Queens. Jeesh! But it keeps me tuning in.

You may have a point. Maybe the prize is that the winning couple does NOT have to pay their Paradise Hotel bill!!!  After all, technically speaking, money cannot buy something free.  He just doesn't fit the PH mold -- and there is definitely a mold--like those chocolate Easter bunnies that are hollow inside. Did they think that a "dork", as his closest and dearest friends call him, would make for some exciting humiliation scenes? I've wondered why Dave even bothers hanging around with these idiots. I would've checked out and left Paradise forever long before now. And, so sorry, that kind of abuse is NOT what is going to keep me tuning in.
