They really screw with the editing and timing of events.

Like when Beau "almost" walked in on Alex and Amanda.
You could tell they pieced that shot together to make it look like that.
Because you could see Alex's foot in one scene then when it pans out you can't see him. Which he would have to be Flash Lightning to move that fast.

It is silly/entertaining to watch though.
And next week they finally get a real woman on there it looks like.
they knew last week was a mistake!

This show is getting rather sloppy in spots in how they try to produce drama out of a bunch of "pretty" people lounging around in "Paradise".

I'd like to see more of Kristin, though.

Here's hoping for the inevitable Playboy photo layout of the Girls from Paradise Hotel!

She's the most underexposed person on the show. She can't be that boring, can she?

Yeah - Kristin seems pretty cool from what I have seen; she looks better than the rest although, in fairness to the others, I don't ever remember seeing her in a swimsuit .

complete agreeance on Kristin. Pretty hot. They never show her. She must be normal.

Zack really needs professional help.

Scratch that. Amy really needs professional help for thinking Zack's such a great guy.

Scatch both of them. I need professional help for watching this damn show every week.

The producer's screwed up the editing again - you know who the guys pick to come to Paradise from the previews that air before the commercial break. I don't care for the girl they pick either - bad choice, she seems too fake to me.

The people who make this show are stupid as hell.

And how is Toni, the man-beast, still on the show?

How do these people have a job. It was So blatently obvious this time to with the mud wrestling!

At least they are making a regular house guest leave next week, and not sending a person home after only one week. (hopefully Toni)

I think the "fight" between Toni and Beau was staged for Matt's benefit, and it seemed to work because Matt sized up his options and fell into the trap that Toni and Beau set for him.

I think Amanda is a goner next week.

at Alex hurling after making out with Toni.

Oh and SHUT UP Toni!

Finally, they got a babe to show up to the island. I'm glad they picked the brunette over the blonde. She looks familiar though - I wonder if I have seen her on Blind Date or Elimidate or one of those shows before.

Fortunately, I watched the recording of this so it automatically skipped the previews during commercial breaks so it was spoiler-free.

The new girl reminds me of a prettier version of Lisa Edelstein.

Alex puking was definitely one of this show's funniest moments. Alex - we understand.

I would rather have seen the guys pick Lauren (?), the bartender, over Tara (?), the brunette who rides the dirt bike. She just seemed too fake looking and she just rubbed me the wrong way. I liked the bartender from Coyote Ugly much better - she was sexy, cute and she did have a great stomach.

I want Toni gone, but I think they may be gunning for Amanda, who needs to make up her mind already. Charla could go, too - they would also make me happy.

Wow - I was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't remember her name - I was just going to say she reminded me of the neurotic fitness freak in Keeping the Faith.

The Coyote Ugly chick reminded me of a cross between Lori Laughlin (Full House) and Elle McPherson.

Yeah, what was Beau on? His whole "being supportive" of Toni rang so smarmy and false. That was some painful TV to watch.

So why is Amanda so adamant about staying at Paradise Hotel when no guy is willing to get with her given her view on relationships, and her convenient memory lapses?

"I'm 29 Boo-hoo-hoo." For pete's sake, that woman needs to be committed.

Poor Dave. He really is the only interesting person on this show and not only can he not get a piece of ass, but the 'popular' kids just want to berate him.

My guess is that Amanda wants to stay for the same reason everyone wants to stay - they probably think there is a big monetary surprise for those who make it to the end.

Toni is a f'n psycho and her big ass needs to go home. "If you hurt my friends, we're gonna fight!" She needs to quit living her life from one reality show to the next. She is a truly scary individual and has major problems.

I agree on the Dave sentiments, he just doesn't fit in at all.

I will admit Tara is not as dumb, flaky and fake as I thought she would be. She doesn't seem too bad, but I still would have rather had the sexy bartender come join the show w/ no purpose.

And Zack proved again that he is a tool.

It was nice to see Kristin actually speak several different times in an episode - I think that is a first.

Am I the last one watching this wretched p.o.s.? Why I sit there w/ my wife and punish myself I do not know.

Spoiler:
Amanda's gone - Tara chose Beau


Toni is a 'roid-raging freak and I am going crazy trying to figure out how she is still there.

Zack is still a tool.

What is the prize on this show - is it just the chance at an extended vacation?

The best part of the show was that they showed previews for Temptation Island 3, which will be starting next month!!! The greatest reality dating show ever shall return!!! Rejoice!!! especially after watching crap like Paradise Hotel.

I cant believe we have to watch more of Toni. I was hoping Tara would get rid of her but instead backstabs Amanda

I dont know I just feel like throwing Toni off the side of a 100 story building. grrrrrrrr I hate her soo much

WHY DO I WATCH THIS SHOW!!!

That was a convoluted turn of events (and now it's seeming like more and more of it is scripted). The look on Charla's face when Tara decided to boot Amanda was classic (especially choosing to room with Dave again to clear the field for Tara). Tara might just be an island along with Charla, or she was just following her hormones when she picked Beau (why? why? why?)

What was Amanda thinking picking Scott first before being shoved over towards Beau? Too bad Bug Eyes is still in the game.

Zack thinks a lot of his abs, doesn't he?

They did! With commercial advance, I didn't see it. That's great news - TI is the best dating/relationship reality show by far. How do the chicks look?


As for PH, dismayed to see that we are stuck with Toni for another week. I just don't get it.

Also, I knew that I had seen Tara somewhere before. I was watching Blind Date last night and I saw a repeat of an episode she appeared on where she dated a staff member of the Jim Rome Show. Definitely a 'Date from Hell.'

I wouldn't be surprised if the contestants belief that there is a monetary reward for being alive at the end.
