'Paradise Hotel 2': The return of Zack
This week, Paradise Hotel 2 brings back someone from Paradise Hotel 1. That means there's someone out there willing put himself through this madness again. People make no sense.
We're playing truth or spoiler!
The new -- and final! -- guest in Paradise Hotel is Zack, who has experience with the first show. Despite that, he' come back. He talks about how all his know-how from the first round gives him an edge this time. As he got kicked off the first game twice, I'm dubious about that claim.
But first, the fallout from Tanya's ouster! Myrna is defensive and pissy -- Tanya did it to herself! It's not my fault! Then she goes to bed -- and locks Mike out of the room. What the hell? Later, she interviews that she feared for her safety, but I think she just likes making bitchy power plays. God, I hate that woman.
When Zack arrives. Both teams try the charm offensive. Krista basically glues herself to his side, and Zach and Mike bond over how difficult it is to lose the love of your (month-long, reality-TV) life because of duplicitous scheming. You remind me of me, Zack tells Mike, and maybe I've been brought back here to help you. Zack apparently thinks he's a guardian angel.
Myrna, TD and Stephanie lament that they haven't had a chance to talk to Zack -- the OGs are brown-nosing him, TD says with disgust. This, of course, shuts down her opportunity to brown-nose Zack -- the fiends!
TD, I'm thinking, I moderately delusional -- she decides that Myrna will have the job of seducing Zack to their team, despite the fact that she's a vile harpy who no one could possibly like. This becomes clear when Zack challenges Myrna to come to dinner without dressing up or touching up her makeup-just relax! No way in hell: Myrna has her full face on, flower in her hair, etc. When Zack calls her on it, she heatedly responds that he should be praising her for being able to get ready in only 15 minutes. Yeah, whatever. Let's scratch Myrna off the Zack list, ok?
Things get nasty when everybody joins together for a game of Truth, Dare or Tequila Shot. After enough tequila, Stephanie asks Ryan what the deal is, and he says he likes her as a friend. Yeah, right -- you talk to friends. He likes her as an orifice. Ryan is a bit of an ass.
Then Aaron, who enjoys stirring the pot, challenges Lauren to make out with the guy she's most attracted to. James perks up, but he's not the object of her affection -- Zack is. James is highly pissy about it. When he' challenges to make out with the woman he finds most attractive, he picks Myrna (who, apparently, doesn't reciprocate, being "not that kind of woman.")
After much hemming and hawing and allying and scheming, the OGs think they've got Zack in their camp. But what's this? He's pending a lot of time with Stephanie and TD. Late at night, he comes into Chris and Stephanie's room. I want to ally with you two and TD. Aaron bugs everyone when he's drunk, and Myrna's evil, but the rest of us? We could survive this thing. Are you in? Chris agrees. Is Zack serious, or is he playing them? Time will tell...
Other stuff:
- I can see the guys cheering for their deep-sea fishing trip, but who cheers for waxing? These women are insane.
- Myrna talks about rooming with Mike -- "Whether he hates me, likes me, he has to be my roommate." Except, for that to happen, Myrna, you need to let him into the room.
- Subtlety, thy name is Krista -- she pledges to stealthily feel out what's up with Myrna after the locking-out-Mikey incident, then walks right up and says "What's the deal with locking Mikey out?" Myrna shuts her down -- that's between me and Mike. Then she and Aaron laugh. Boy, I hope those two go soon.
What do you think of the final 11? Are you glad to see Zack, or bewildered that he's back again? Which woman do you hope gets booted next week? Are you excited that an end is finally in sight?
You know I have to say I'm not liking how this season is ending.. Personally I don't think they should have brought Zack back.. He's already been on the show 2 times, and didn't he threaten someone which is why he got kicked off the second time?? So why would they bring him back?
And I'm also disappointed that there are only 15 episodes instead of 30.. Oh well.. I just hope that this new "alliance" with TD Chris Steph and Zach falls apart.. Maybe he's just throwing that there cause Mike told hi he should go for Steph..
What ever happened to Amy?!
Zach...hmmm....WHAT THE HELL!!! Why am I watching this show! What the hell!
I wonder if Zach ever grew up or Amy? Why do I care.
I have not seen this episode yet, Just saw poor little Tanya leave, because of the Wicked witch Myrna, she is evil nobody likes her.
Ryan is a orfice a waste of space.
Arron well same as Ryan, except Arron speaks...out of his ass!!!
If anyone who should win it should be me for watching this crap...yeah that's right pay me Paradise Hotel 2...except don't pay me in any Vacations at your Hotel's because they are BORING!!! Look at poor Lauren and Krista walking back and forth at the pool to get some exercise...these people are in Paradise Prison...they never go on any excursions(give these people a day pass). No wonder everbody is so drunk all the time and not getting along or trying really hard to get humped. I am suprised they are not all fat yet from all the eating, drinking and laying around they do. The people who left should be so friggin happy to leave that prison.
Look at Johny doing back flips, he was overjoyed, good for you.
And what part of Mexico is that?
ok enuff said.
Ciao!
One more thought. What was up with lauren sitting on mike like that?? DRAMA
wendy | Apr 15, 2008 12:04:02 AM | #Love this recap! I look forward to it every Tues morning. Who does Myrna think she is? I mean I haven't had this much contempt for a reality tv contestant since probably Toni from PH1. At least she was compelling to watch. Not Myrna though she is on a whole different level of annoying whiny slag! ugh!
mel | Apr 15, 2008 10:43:10 AM | #Lauren is my least favorite, but she had the funniest/stupidest line of the night (about Myrna's eliminating Tanya): "She just buried her own grave." Priceless!
Mike | Apr 15, 2008 11:53:50 AM | #I am for the newbies all the way, I think that the original's group are racist and don't like any race outside of the white skin kind.
Everytime a new race comes in they stick there nose up. They not once gave Mirna a second glance when she came into house , and next week I think thanks to the preview of next weeks show that Chris is going home because Aarron was crying, TD was crying. That is only conclusion I can come up with .
ALSO I WISH KRISTA WOULD GO HOME,BUT SINCE ZACK IS THE LAST CHECK IN THERE ARE NO MORE ONE PERSON GOING JUST 1 MORE GUY THEN THE COUPLE'S ARE EVEN. I AM SAD TO SEE THE END OF THE SHOW THIS IS AN ADDICTIVE SHOW.
DENISE | Apr 15, 2008 1:20:16 PM | #I'm glad Tanya left. Who does she and Mike think they are? What makes they so special to not be voted out. In the end its a GAME. Myrna did the best thing by picking Mike and breaking up him and Tanya. In the end of the game, its will be to everyones benift. Don't they realize it yet.
I also think Ryan is a big idiot, so is Lauren.
I like Stephanie (although she is a bit stupid when it comes to Ryan.

Now, if they really wanted to bring someone back to make it exciting, they should've brought back Toni. THAT would've been fun to watch.
Jennifer | Apr 16, 2008 11:49:58 AM | #Didn't any of the new cast members watch the first run of Paradise Hotel? Zack is an immature violent loose cannon. Does Mike really think Zack is a good guy to make an alliance with? Also, spoiler alert. I looked at the tv listings on myway.com and it shows the title of the episode airing on 4/28 is "the return of Raheim"!!! Ha Ha!
Jeff | Apr 16, 2008 4:37:51 PM | #Another thing: while watching this episode, I had a weird feeling for a minute that they would surprise us all by revealing that Zack is gay and that he would choose a guy for his roommate! I think a wrinkle like that would throw everyone for a loop and really take the show in an unexpected direction. That sure would screw up the elimination process if there could be same sex shackups!
Jeff | Apr 16, 2008 4:40:01 PM | #I love this show. I haven't seen the first season but I am in love with the 2nd. It is extremely addictive. I think it's kind of retarded how Tanya and Mikey didn't get to be together anymore. I do like the OG's forget the newbies...Except Zack HES HOTTTT

Kelly | Apr 17, 2008 10:25:31 AM | #I thought they should have brought Raheim back for him to get back at Stephanie. When he left the show he was pretty hostile at her and would not even hug her so he was the one I would have brought back. How they decided to bring Zach back I do not know because he made threats on season 1. I do not get why Lauren is on top of Mike either. I agree that Tanya leaving the show was her own fault. She chose to pick Chris to save her original friends so I do not feel sorry for her. There were better choices for her to make. Her undoing was her own
ne | Apr 21, 2008 12:15:38 AM | #WOW..i read a comment tht the OGs are racist and they dunt like any1 besides white ..now thats funny..wasnt raheim part of the OG and i dunt think he was white..lol
Kay | Apr 21, 2008 8:28:32 PM | #I miss Tanya she was stupid to leave. I am looking for any of the cast's myspace pages anyone who has em email please thanks
Raven | Apr 27, 2008 1:18:17 PM | #The one I mostly like to see get booted off is Tadisha, she's nothing but a snotty Conniving witch! I disliked her since the beginning of the show along with Charte, which I'm glad she was sent home. I was so pissed when they picked TD with Ryan to eliminate the couple b/c I knew she would pick Krista & Mike. Tadisha never liked Krista I guess mostly b/c she thinks Krista is s too emotional. "Well I wouln't talk honey your too emotional yourself".. she's a ticking time bomb, the way she attacked Tanya & Stephanie only Stephanie told her off which she deserves. TD doesn't deserve to win Stephanie does. James is another one I don't like, he's another conniving ass which I'm also glad he was sent home. He keeps saying that TD is his number 1, yeah she's number 1 alright A NUMBER 1 JACKASS! Aaron is another one being an wise ass! writing that comment about Krista being a troll doll just to get the other player's reaction?! "Your just asking for trouble pal" I'll say one thing if krista is like a troll doll, at least troll dolls are cute and cuddly which certain people on this show are not! And Zack being back, what does this mean? Is he looking to cause more trouble? Has he really changed? Well we'll see. I prefer to watch Season 1 b/c most of the people on season 2 are pathetic..
Josie | May 15, 2008 2:58:28 PM | #they are so fucked up! paradise hotel 1 was much cooler. this boys & girls suck. but, nevermind, zack hasn`t grown up.
reptila | Sep 27, 2008 8:15:25 AM | #I love Mike he is adorable. I have not seen the 1st season, but I love PH2. I think Myrna should die for what she did to Mike and Tanya. I mean did you see the tears on Mike's face when she had to go! I hope they will go out with eachother.(Mike + Tanya)P.S. Tanya you go girl, get your man back!
Kaitlin | Sep 28, 2008 12:56:09 PM | #I'm not one of those who likes reality tv, in fact, I think people who sit and stare on others having sex and stabbing each other in the back etc etc, needs to get a fucking life.
Having said that, I suffer from insomnia, so one night I was browsing through the channels to occupy myself, and there it was; Paradise Hotel 2, and I thought 'Fuck..not shit like this again'. It was the episode where Tanya is sent home, and for some reason - completely unaware of previous happenings or anything else - I found myself moved by that ending.
I haven't watched the series again, nor do I plan to. But there was something about that particular episode that managed to slightly alter the way I see reality tv.
Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a waste of time, and people should try experiencing REAL feelings in REAL life.
-Tess- | Nov 3, 2008 2:34:19 PM | #I loved the Paradise Hotel 1..Second season was ok...Amy and Zack my favourites..I wonder what happened to Amy and Zack???Anyone know if they are still together?
