Welcome to Paradise Hotel! The dream resort where you'll need to hook up in order to stay. If not, you'll have to check out and return to reality. Someone from the audience at home could fly off to Paradise to take their place. Eleven sexy single guests have already arrived. Who will be sent home packing? The girls show up first and toast to their newfound friendships. They get to know each other, but the only thing on Toni's mind is ""What will the guys look like?"" Meanwhile, the men wait in the hotel's Grand Salon and size up the competition. ""Where are the girls?"" Alex wonders. The women are ushered in, and the guys are relieved that they're all beautiful. Scott is already convinced that the girls will go for Zack because he doesn't drink and is a bodybuilder. Maybe he has insight into the female mind? Beau already has his eye on one girl in particular. Amanda admits to liking both Beau and Alex, while Amy thinks Zack is cute. Toni likes them all. The group cheers each other with sho
Party girl Melanie proposes that they all have a ""butt check"" contest. In other words, she wants to squeeze all the men's asses without being sued for sexual harassment. Not surprisingly, all the other women agree heartily. Zack takes the prize. (Did Amy stuff the ballot box?) Beau and Alex commend themselves for not even making it into the top three butts at the hotel. There was also a contest for the best female booties. Amanda tells Beau that her mom will think he's adorable. That loud ringing you hear is the sound of wedding bells in her head. Beau sweats profusely, and it's not from the tropical heat. He says that he knows that they ""connected,"" but that he also wants to ""connect"" with other women. Beau asks for at least one week when they are not joined at the hip. Amanda is rightfully pissed off. She was under the impression that he was into their pairing as much as she was. Amanda answers by sleeping in the side bed. Beau has to walk out of the room to get away from her. Sittin
Toni confronts Charla. She warns her about how she is turning everyone against her. Amy does the same, and tells Charla that the relationships they have made there in paradise are ""real."" Meanwhile, Amanda talks strategy with Beau about the Dave situation. She would be sad if her husband Beau was forced to leave. On the sly, Dave makes a pact with Charla. He admits that he has been in love with her since the first time he saw her. (Maybe Dave missed the first episodes?) Charla says that she doesn't want to stay with Scott, but that all the other couples don't make time for her. Perhaps that's because she looks perturbed anytime she's with someone else. Charla cautions Dave not to trust any of them, and yet she doesn't give the same advisory about herself. Dave swears to her that the person he ultimately chooses is not who he wants to room with. He is trying to tell her that, although he digs her, he is not going to pick her. Does she get the hint? Dave later tells Toni that he likes he
It's becoming a game of chess at Paradise Hotel, with everyone anticipating the moves that might send them home. Dave tells Scott that he made a deep connection with Charla (or so he is led to believe), and that he would be disappointed if she didn't choose him. Beau is convinced that Charla holds all the power in the game. Since the other girls would most likely pick one of the original guys, he thinks Charla can be secure by going with Dave. Charla is insistent that she doesn't want to leave Paradise, so she plans to strategize. Will she be forced to decide between more than one guy? She is sure that the others (the ""little high school clique,"" as she refers to them) would be mad if she picked Dave. She doesn't even want to room with him. But Charla is even more certain that no one else would pick her next time around. Charla is grossed out by Dave's toes. However, she has realized everyone here is insincere. Who would she room with? Dave puts the pressure on Charla to form an allian
Beau makes a joke about the new girl coming in, but takes a swipe at Amanda while he's at it. ""Something crazy always happens,"" Toni says about the entrance of the new guest. To pass the time away before Kavita's arrival, the gang orchestrates a kissing contest. Toni mauls all the guys (except Dave, whom she only pecks). Charla pounces on Scott and makes out with Zack. Everyone else gets little butterfly kisses from her. Kristin takes control and straddles all the guys -- including Dave. Amy and Zack show some PDA that they've only saved for the bedroom. Alex comments that this should have happened on the first day. Amy and Toni pretend to kiss. Zack witnesses this and becomes angry. ""Zack is a prideful person,"" Amy says as she runs after him. They argue on the stairs, and she attempts to explain that she really didn't do anything with Toni. As everyone else listens from the Grand Salon, Alex thinks the fight is about him because he's the only other boy Amy kissed in the game. ""I'm the
We begin, typically, with a pissed-off Charla. She doesn't like Dave hinting to the guys about what they might have done in the bedroom. He found her thong and made a joke, ala Clinton and Lewinsky, saying, ""I have not had sex with that woman."" Charla wants to make it perfectly clear to everyone that the ONLY THING they have done is peck during the Kissing Game. She forces Dave to tell that to the guys. And Dave thought he was embarrassed at the last Pandora's Box game? Dave counters that he forgave her for what she said at that game. He wants her to calm down about this thing. After Charla's outburst, Dave turns to the guys and laughs that Charla is ""out of her mind"" crazy. He continues to be angry, feeling that she still embarrasses him. Dave corners Kavita later that night to tell her that they can strategize to have her choose him in the next bedroom selection. He is worried that Charla made him out to be creepy for not wanting him to touch her. ""You didn't look like a perv!"" Kavit
Pre-newbie arrival, most everyone thinks Matthew JC is probably cool and nice. Beau makes fun of the moniker that Matt's a rocker, because when he sang to Amanda via satellite, it was only a ballad. Thanks, Beau, for noting the technicality. Zack is already jealous. He's angry that the women picked Matt. The group is unanimous in their worry for Dave after the two contestants harped on him. Dave just wants them to drop the discussion altogether. Charla goes to her room to make Dave feel better, but he doesn't want to talk. He's convinced that he shouldn't have even come on the show. He is sensitive about his physical self and his ability to relate to women. Charla feels so bad that she sits on Dave's bed. Their bare skin may possibly touch. It's a full Welcome Matt when he lands in Paradise to the traditional toast by the other guests. Does he wear his welcome out as soon as he arrives? He states that he can already tell there's emotion beneath Toni's tough-guy exterior. Matt then poin
""This is real,"" Beau announces. Not according to Amanda. She confides to Amy about Jason, her visiting ex-boyfriend. Jason wants her to go home with him because he is anxious to start up their relationship again. For so long, Amanda waited to hear him make this declaration of commitment, but now she is reluctant to leave the hotel. Beau can tell that Jason is head over heels in love with Amanda. But he is even more sure that she will cheat on her man soon enough, especially considering that she had tried to start something with Beau when she first arrived in Paradise. No one will want her now that she has a serious boyfriend. Beau tells Amanda that she has distanced herself from everyone else since Jason's been there. She admits that she still has feelings for Jason. She liked Beau, but she was never sure she wanted a relationship with him. This is all news to Beau. He drinks with Jason at the bar, and lets him know that Amanda cornered him when they first arrived. She told Beau that,
Everyone's in an uproar over the fact that one of the original girls is going to be sent home next week. ""Women are shaking in their boots!"" Dave exclaims. Toni screams at him to shut up and she storms off. Isn't this the same girl who yelled at Beau for telling her to shut up? Kristin and Amy plan to be nice to Tara… only in order to save themselves. Kristin tries to convince Toni to do the same. ""Maybe it's time to start playing the game,"" Amy wonders. It's Toni's birthday, and the gang wishes her well. Yet Toni is not so good. She doesn't trust Dave because he's saying crap about her behind her back and he thinks that he is the smartest person in the hotel. Toni wants him to own up to these things. But first, she's angry at the new girl Tara for arriving on ""her day."" Toni makes fun of Tara not only before she's even met her, but behind Tara's back. Hypocritical much, Toni? Meanwhile, the men challenge Dave to be the first one to kiss Tara. For at least two seconds. Before midnight.
Tension's high post-Pandora game ever since Toni accused Dave of claiming he was the smartest person at the hotel. Everyone puts in their two cents, and all the men don't believe anything Dave says because he denied ever saying he was smart. After Amanda was also lambasted at the game, Charla pulls her aside. Charla doesn't like to see people ganged up on, and she convinces Amanda to tell Beau that she wants to stay. Think that'll work? Beau admits to Charla that he is the first person who doesn't want to lose Amanda. Charla grabs Tara and they strategize with Amanda on how to keep her there. They meet with Scott to get him into their plan. Charla wonders what would happen if Tara picked Zack in the bedroom selection. ""Crap would go through the roof,"" Tara answers. Yet Tara approaches Zack and asks for his sage advice. (That's bonus points with Zack! He's part lawyer!) Zack recommends she make her own decision. (Good one!) He recalls his first day when he didn't tell anyone that he wan
After the contestant selection is over, everyone congregates by the pool to discuss the outcome of Keith being the next guest. Toni admits that she accidentally voted for a different guy than Kristin and Amy wanted. Is the wrong guy is coming to Paradise? Alex makes fun of them for picking a male model, and Toni leaves abruptly. Zack becomes angry at Toni's actions. The other girls tell him to shut up. Kristin finds Toni back at the room and consoles her. Toni feels like she disappointed both her and Amy. Kristin was only disappointed in the way Toni took off. When Toni confesses that she wants to go home, Kristin says not to tell anyone. Zack and Amy leave the pool because he ""can't take it up there."" He calls Toni an actress and a faker. Amy defends her, saying Toni's always been this way. Zack then moves on to criticizing Amy. He is pissed that Amy always wants him to be the one to initiate conversation as well as sexual activity. She never shows how she's attracted to him. Zack bri
Keith is bummed out that one of the guys is going home and that he's the one who's going to send him. Although he's only been there for a little over two days, Keith already sees the alliances that have formed. He tells Kristin that he was angry that she threatened him and the way she called him unattractive at Pandora's Box. She apologizes, and says that she does think he is hot. According to Kristin, the longer she's there, the better people have come to look. Yet Keith is convinced that most of the crew in Paradise is a bit ""sketchy."" Amy is frustrating Zack. ""I want you to open up to me so bad that I'm willing to risk my reputation 'cause I yell at you 'cause that's the only way you'll communicate with me,"" he pleads. ""I can't guess about you all the time."" Zack wants her to be there for him, saying it's like digging a ""treasure"" to find the real Amy. ""You are my best friend here,"" he says. ""And you're mine,"" Amy answers. Keith is invited to go on an excursion with one of the girls
Amy attacks Keith once again. She calls him selfish and not willing to take ""everyone's"" feelings into consideration. Kristin accuses him of deliberately going against her threats. ""What did WE ever do to you?"" Amy implores. Keith keeps answering that he only wants to win the game. Amy tells him that he kicked out the most respected person in the hotel. (Is she talking about Zack??) She wants to know why he stabbed his buddy Zack in the back. Keith puts an end to the group bitching by saying that only one person even has a right to be angry, and it's Amy. He then asks Amy to name the guy who should have taken Zack's place. She won't say it. Dave wants to know too. ""Who are you? Are you God?"" Amy says to Keith. Alex chimes in about him telling Keith who he wanted to keep at the hotel. Beau wasn't on the list, and Beau calls Alex on his getting him out. Keith stands up. He's had enough, and orders them to calm down because they are acting like two-year olds. But Amy isn't finished. ""You'
The alliances are becoming solidly formed. Charla and Dave hook up with Keith and Tara. Dave is convinced that Scott is not only playing the game, but rallying for the Originals. Holly tells Scott that she's on neither side. Kristin is sure that her female troika can win because they have enough guys in their corner. Amy doesn't think Charla is strong enough to pull off a palace coup. Charla, alone in her room, weeps when she thinks about the weight of her actions. ""It's hard every single day,"" she cries. Toni comes in to console her, agreeing that they are under a lot of pressure. Toni encourages Charla to let it out with a good cry. Holly gets to invite another guy on an overnight excursion. Everyone is certain that she will ask Alex, but she calls for Beau instead. He's excited, and he phones Amy with the good news. Amy warns him to steer Holly in the right direction -- the Originals' direction. Beau doesn't even want to think about that. When they are alone in their private suite,
Amy is frustrated. Last week it was Zack who went home. This week it's her friend Toni. Yet Amy is happy to room with Beau because they are ""on the same page."" Dave happily notes that there as many new people as there are Originals. Holly hates the division between the groups and Alex vows to stick with the Originals to the very end. Each guest is handed an invitation to attend a ""friendly competition."" They are brought to a bowling alley, and the winners get to go on an excursion with the new guy. As a former league player, Dave takes his bowling quite seriously. Unlike the others, he refuses to drink alcohol while he bowls. Dave is sure that he, Keith and Beau are the best players. Amy still can't stand Keith, yelling ""gutter"" every time he tosses the ball. Keith seems to bowl a strike each time. Scott senses the pressure that Dave's put upon himself, and Amy fuels the fire by heckling Dave. Beau and Keith win the game, and Dave accepts his fate like a good loser. Amy continues to be
The morning after the Casino event, Dave is convinced that both Keith and Alex ended up the big winners of the night. Whoever has the most money gets the power to send one of the other guys home. Dave asks Scott for his money to build a monopoly. Charla and Tara both agree to entrust their money to Dave as well. Tom arrives at breakfast first, unaware that everyone else is scheming about their Casino money. He waits impatiently. Back in the rooms, Alex wants to know how much Dave has in his holdings. Dave tells him how annoyed he was about Kristin trying to distract him by announcing how much he was winning. Later at breakfast, Tom is handed an invitation. As champions of the bowling tournament, Keith and Beau will accompany Tom on a deep sea fishing trip. On their trip, the guys drink beer and shoot the breeze. Unfortunately, the breeze is full of hotel gossip. Keith mentions that he heard that Alex and Kristin stole money from the Casino. He is bothered by that. It makes him wonder i
Alex reflects upon the change of mood in the hotel. People had been upset when Zack and Toni left, but no one seems to be mad now that Beau is gone. According to Alex, things got more relaxed and fun after he left. Not for Amy, though. She cries to herself because she can't stop thinking about Zack. She needs to find reasons to want to stay in Paradise. Meanwhile, flirtations ensue with everyone else. Scott knows that he and Holly are physically attracted to each other, and they prove it by kissing on the bed. Charla admits to Keith that she misses her ex-boyfriend, Jessie. Jessie thinks she's the most beautiful girl in the world. As she and Keith playfully tussle, the framed photo of Jessie breaks. Charla gets mad. Everyone assembles to select the new guest. Host Amanda explains that there's yet another surprise. She's brought back two contestants they have already met. Desiree is a massage therapist from Las Vegas who lost to Kavita. Lauren is a bartender from Texas who Tara original
Charla teases Keith about his incessant flirting with her. Yet she gives it right back to him in a bear hug. Dave sits alone and ponders Charla. Although he told her that he has full trust in her, where does she stand? At breakfast, the guys discuss what the King and Queen will get to do with their power. Dave jokes that he has already kissed a few babies and a monkey that morning to rally for votes. Charla is excited because she's never voted for anything before. Dave takes the campaigning seriously. He makes sure Holly knows that he would make a fine king. Everyone submits nominations, and Host Amanda makes the announcement. It's Alex vs. Dave for king, while Amy will go up against Tara for queen. The four must spend the day campaigning. There will also be a swimsuit competition and a debate. Dave comments that he needs to win the debate because Alex is sure to take the swimsuit contest. Everyone applauds when Smokey is given his own necklace. Tom thanks them for accepting his monkey
The girls pack up and switch rooms as per Dave and Tara's new assignments. Charla reluctantly moves into the Butterfly Room with Alex. But Alex gives his new roommate a present -- a kit of quickly applicable press-on nails so that she doesn't waste her time in their room doing her nails. Charla mutters the word ""Jerk"" under her breath. Yet Alex is impressed when Charla orders champagne from room service. Dave comes to visit her, and Charla admits that he and Tara had to do what was best. However, she doesn't know how she's going to fall asleep at night with Alex in the next bed. Keith is convinced that Dave didn't want to have him room with Charla for a third week in a row because Dave was jealous of how close they have become. Tara tries to persuade Charla that Alex isn't that bad, and her room situation could only be for one week. Scott tells Amy that he needs her energy and spunk to help him get through all this. Holly listens to this conversation with trepidation. Alex contemplates
Tom rises early and goes down to the bar to pick up trays of food. He brings each girl breakfast in bed. ""So sweet!"" Tara exclaims, as her roommate Dave looks on dumbfounded. Even Amy gives Tom a peck as he serves her. Desiree asks Tom if he trusts Amy. Keith assures her that Dave, Tom and himself all have her back. Keith comes to Tara. He was pissed about the immunity choice. Why is Amy controlling everything? He wants her out of there so badly. Tara is just as mad at the decision. She would have rather saved Tom. Charla divulges to Dave that she hasn't had sex in 2 ½ months after getting it every day. Dave says that she could have had sex with anyone she wanted. Yet Charla hasn't felt emotion for anyone the whole time she's been there. ""Who the hell am I gonna love here?"" she asks. Dave thinks that she is responsible for the way she feels. ""I care for you, Dave. You know that,"" she says. Dave smiles, but is not so sure if she knows his feelings. Later, Dave assembles all the men in t
Everyone partakes in dessert in the Grand Salon. But there's something even more sweet in store. Host Amanda comes in unexpectedly to inform them of another surprise. All of a sudden, Zack comes down the stairs. He's here for a special, two-day visit. Amy jumps into his arms. ""This is the best surprise anyone could ever have!"" she exclaims. Zack shakes Keith's hand warily. They all ask him how the show is playing out on television. Zack points out who is being underhanded. He singles out Charla, Dave, Keith and Tara as working against everyone else. He names Dave as the ring leader. Zack asks Keith why he didn't just tell him to his face that he wanted to vote him off. Keith doesn't understand what he is talking about. Zack notes that Keith sat with Tara at the bar and told her it would be ""crazy"" to vote off Zack. Keith tells him that some of Zack's own friends were in on it too. Zack and Amy sneak away to talk. He says that he doesn't trust Scott and won't speak to him. ""I will go
Keith calls Dave to see how he is doing. ""Dude, it's bad,"" Dave bemoans, describing the mob mentality that's taken over the hotel. ""I can't handle it."" Keith says that he's done. He doesn't even care anymore. Everyone comes down for dinner. To Holly's dismay, Melanie wants to sit near Scott. Scott knew that having Melanie back might be awkward. From the next table, Holly overhears Scott tell Melanie that it was difficult when she left. Andon jokes that Charla has not come out of her room once. As she sits in bed, Dave asks her what she's thinking. Charla says that she will soon make her decision on whether to leave. He is sad that she feels defeated. He admits that he is just as terrified as she is, but he knows that those people are only jealous that they were beaten at the game. Dave thinks that Amy has lost perspective on things, and he now knows where she stands. Charla acknowledges that they never rubbed it in Amy's face that all of her friends were kicked out. Yet Amy is the f
With only two weeks to go, it's time to step up or go home. Andon tells us he thinks Zack harbors a lot of ill emotion toward Keith. Andon also says it's his turn to start conniving and scheming. He meets with Zack to explain his nefarious plans. Zack says he has Holly and Desiree's votes, and he'll turn them over to Andon. Backdoor dealings! The group wonder if Zack really technically threatened Keith, and Zack argues that ""I wasn't even looking at him."" Then he says he's going to approach Charla, Dave and Keith and tell them not to give him their phone numbers. By the bar, Toni is calling Tara a liar and saying she disgusts her and that she wouldn't have Charla's back if it came down to it. ""Do I like you? No. Do I think you deserve to be here? No."" Toni then lambasts Tara for saying on tape she wouldn't be Toni's friend and wonders why she's sitting there talking to her. Then she continues talking until she gets up and leaves. Zack and Amy cuddle in bed, and Zack wants to clear up a
Can you handle even more intrigue, plotting and frantic screaming? Hope so, because it's time for more PH! To start things off, Melanie says that she's really excited to be the girl chosen to return. Then she tells Desiree she's happy Dave didn't pick her because now she doesn't have to lie to his face that she likes him. In their room, Dave, in touch with the people as always, doesn't think Melanie will hate them, as Charla posits. Beau, continuing his strict ""no shirt"" policy, hangs with Amy, Desiree, Tom and Melanie. Charla says the others are jealous of her. She's sorry she knows how to play this game. At the same time, Amy says she won't play the game and stoop to their level. Charla sardonically says she'd like to sit down and watch the tapes with Amy and tell her how great she is. Also, Charla is sorry Amy's man kissed her and everyone else here. To back up Charla, we see clips of Zack with Charla, Melanie, Toni, Kristin, Amanda and Kavita. Beau says they're in the game seriousl
Someone give the guy a medal: Scott has finally realized that his time in Paradise isn't really reality. Dave jokes that after it's all over he should move to Chicago in order to be near his buddy Toni. Maybe they can even do a celebrity boxing match together. Scott and Dave learn that the girls will be preparing their lunch. ""This is guys' week!"" Dave exclaims giddily. But all is not peachy in the Scott/Dave camp. Scott had heard from Matt and the other evicted guests that Dave has lied to him. Dave confesses that he did set up a Pandora's Box question for Matt. He had wanted Matt to name Scott as someone he could not trust. Dave admits that it was a stupid thing to do. His goal was to get Matt back in, not get him on his side over Scott's. The ever-ebullient Scott feels manipulated. Melanie and Amy discuss how Scott said in the Pandora's Box that he would pick Holly over Melanie. Since she had a pact with Scott when she was first at the hotel, Melanie assumed that they would resume t
Over breakfast of Dave's specially-ordered huevos rancheros, Tom pleads for his safety. ""Maybe you can manipulate somebody?"" Tom sarcastically asks Dave. Too late for you, monkey boy. It took Tom this long to figure out that it was strategically wrong of him to send Desiree to the single room. Everyone else in America second-guessed that one the moment he did it. Amy storms down to the girls' table sans makeup, moaning about the company. ""This is too weird for me,"" she says. ""This is not my paradise. I miss Zack."" Charla and Tara are uncomfortable with Amy's barbs and they get up to leave. ""Bye, Bobsey Twins,"" she yells. Tara and Charla amuse themselves alone at the pool by painting each other's bodies. Is this sexy? Amy wonders aloud if she could drown them both in the pool. She and Beau walk out because they can't stand the sight of the Barbie girls. Amy whines to Beau that she's ready to quit Paradise. ""It's not worth it to be miserable,"" she laments. In his usual feeble manner, Bea
Charla has no idea how the Barbies made it this far into the game. She doubts that their lucky streak can continue, believing that Amy will win. Yet Amy feels lonely. ""It's been nothing but a struggle since Zack left,"" she bemoans. However, she is not averse to scheming in her misery, calling Dave out as a liar. He had told Beau that he wanted Scott to get the boot before Beau. Scott is annoyed when he hears this, and takes Amy's side. (Has Scott realized that he's still there and Beau isn't? Dude! Dave's on your side!) Dave feels like Amy's attack means she hates him again. So insightful. Keith sticks to his rational principle that the goal is to kick everyone out so that he can ultimately win. Charla wants to throw a surprise party for Tara's birthday. Dave composes a song, and an appalled Charla cuts him short when he rehearses it for her. Everyone but the sick Scott hides in the Paradise Disco to surprise Tara. Dave enlists Keith to accompany him on the song. Well, at least there a
Host Amanda warns the remaining six that they will now be treated as couples, with a pair going home after the next elimination. However, one person will be granted all the power to force out another couple. Everyone is speechless. Tara makes a toast to the last ones standing. The group is given invites for a 24-hour excursion. They are to pack up for the next morning. Keith is giddy that every person who wanted him out of Paradise is now gone. Dave tells Charla that he really does crave the power position. Tara warns Keith to be careful of what he says. She doesn't want to reveal their strategy to the other four. Keith talks to Scott, telling him that what Dave said in Pandora's Box unsettled him. Scott knows that Keith has never lied to him, but Scott thinks that Keith is merely shoring up his bases. Dave approaches the two guys as they are in deep discussion. They suddenly go silent, and Dave senses the awkwardness. Dave later asks Keith about it. Keith vows to stay secure with thei
Remember the first week when Charla was the outsider in the single? When Zack turned down Amy? When Dave drunkenly pointed out his own man-boobs? Those days are long gone. It's the final week in Paradise, and there are only three couples left. One of them is about to get the boot. Keith's mad that Dave put him in a position of mistrust, but he also promised to stand by his Barbie buddies. Keith decides to send Scott and Holly home. ""I gotta go with my word from Day One,"" he mutters solemnly. Holly comments that Dave has been lying to her the entire time, even though she thought he was trustworthy. Scott, who has been there from the first day, had some faith he would advance when Dave blatantly lied to Keith. But Scott thinks that Keith didn't have the ""stones"" to call him out on it. The pair hugs the other couples and leave. The Barbies congratulate each other sullenly. Keith is angry with Dave because he put him in a bad situation. Charla tells Tara that she can't believe that Dave sa
The former hotel couples pile into the hotel. Smokey hangs on Tom's waist. Amy and Zack enter last to a round of applause. They all sit in chairs lined up in the Grand Salon. Keith comes in with Tara and greets them. The Originals are cold to him. Dave and Charla walk in silently. ""Summer is over,"" Host Amanda proclaims, pointing out that the Barbie alliance has eliminated everyone else. Unfortunately, those eliminated people now have the power. Their badgering and belittling begins. Andon asks Dave whether all the knives he brought to stab people's backs was worth his winning. Definitely not, Dave says. Matt says that Dave claimed to be honest and mature, and yet he talked maliciously about each one of them. Matt feels that Dave embarrassed the people back home with his actions. Dave hopes he hasn't done that. Everyone starts to chime in about how Dave has lied and even admitted to lying. Then Toni turns her ‘roidal rage on Tara. Supposedly, Tara told Andon that she would screw Charla
Single men and women looking for love arrive at Paradise Hotel for the series' second run. There, they learn that while they have the chance at romance, not everything is as rosy as it seems. Each week, one will be eliminated, and to make things more difficult, there are more women than men. The two groups are required to pair off, but one woman is left on her own, a spoiler who must try to break up another couple before the first elimination ceremony. As the games begin, personality-types emerge, with Raheim appearing as a disliked "player" and Mike as a hot man who could appeal to several of the women. After the pairings, the contestants are left in their rooms overnight, though some find more romance than others. Tension mounts as the first elimination draws near.
As the new boy Johnny continues to stir the pot, the contestants face a looming elimination. The tension and sexual games are upped with a steamy body-painting competition judged by Johnny. The contestants all ponder various moves, while Krista contemplates the changing nature of the program. Things come to a head when Johnny, immune from that night's elimination, is required to make his choice of a roommate, sending one man home.
The guys are nervous when a new girl, a blonde bombshell, arrives. The girl, named Stephanie, makes quite a scene when she gets punch-drunk during a late night party and demonstrates rude behavior. The next day, Stephanie takes two of the men on a hot-tub date. Meanwhile, other relationships continue to develop, while the cast anticipate both the next Pandora's Box and elimination.
A familiar face returns and shakes things up as Myrna is targeted by the original players for ousting Tanya.
