'Paradise Hotel 2': Troll dolls and trauma
This week on Paradise Hotel 2, everyone is skanky, sketchy, and bitchy. What distinguishes it from every other week on Paradise Hotel is the level of sketch, skank and bitch -- Krista is called a troll doll, Myrna feels disrespected, Aaron doesn't know how to shut up, TD decides to tease, and Mike and Tanya make like Romeo and Juliet.
What's going on? Stupid spoiler drama.
Last week, Myrna decided to shake things up by putting people who loathed each other together as roommates. It gets ugly quickly -- Lauren is openly contemptuous of Aaron, and Stephanie is surprised to find that Ryan doesn't want to cuddle, because he doesn't actually like her.
Then there's Pandora's Box. Things start out almost subtle (or what passes for subtle on this how) when the first question asks new girl Myrna if she's "royalty at home." Subtext: Are you always such a spoiled-rotten bitch? Myrna says she works hard and is very independent. Aaron, who has temporarily lost the use of his brain, agrees that "poppin' is hard work" -- i.e., yes, Myrna certainly does put lots of effort into shaking her ass. Lovely.
Next target: TD, who is asked if she thinks "leading Chris on" will keep her here. TD takes offense at the question -- whoever put that in there is trying to drive a wedge between Chris and me. But she does seem to be offering Chris just enough o get him hooked, then scampering away when he wants more.
Tanya is asked if she loves Mike, and she talks about how she loves him as a person, and how he's the male version of her. So, Tanya, you're saying you're a narcissist. Well, you are on this show, so, yeah. Then Mike is asked if he's attracted to Myrna, since he's always made a big deal about liking Asian chicks. I'm guessing Myrna put that question in herself. He does his Minister of Propaganda thing well, telling Myrna that she's "very striking" and fits in well with the group, then kissing Tanya.
But the worst is left for Krista: "Why are you everyone's little troll doll that people have to rub to make you happy?" What the HELL? Krista doesn't even know what that means, and asks who wants to know, and all is silent. Krista and the others suspect TD, but it's later revealed that Aaron submitted that particular question. He wanted to see people's reactions. Aaron? You're an ass.
Krista spends the rest of the episode being pissy -- poor me, I'm a troll doll! I'm going to sit in a suitcase because I'm going home! Lauren continues to be openly hostile to Aaron Myrna and the rest of the New Crew. The original girls moan about how TD is sucking up to Myrna, so SHE won't be going home. TD continues to not say yes, not say no to Chris, and he laments that "I haven't had to work this hard since I was 14." Poor baby. TD also achieves what Chris couldn't getting Aaron to apologize to Myrna for being an ass. Aaron is falling apart, folks.
At the elimination, Myrna gets to choose first -- and she goes to Mike. The HELL? She seems to be banking on the hope that Mike's love of Asian women to make him forget about Tanya, but I'm thinking she just made a huge mistake. Myrna won't be staying long if Mike has anything to do with it.
Krista goes with James, which is probably a good choice -- he's said he'd protect her out of loyalty, and he'll probably do it. TD again teases Chris, hovering over him as if she's choosing him as a roommate, then going to the safe (if increasingly idiotic) haven of Aaron.
Stephanie goes with Chris, the other member of the New Kids alliance. And then things get interesting. Tanya basically throws herself on her sword so Lauren can stay, picking Chris and leaving Ryan free for Lauren.
Tanya knows she's on the chopping block -- "If I could have gone for Mike and eliminated myself, I would have. I wouldn't want one of my really good friends here to have to make that decision." Instead, she forced Chris to make a decision that will most likely bite him in the butt no matter what he chooses. If he went with Tanya, he'd be breaking up the alliance, But if he chooses Stephanie, he knows he'll have all the other guys gunning for him. It's an almost chess-like move on Tanya's part, if the Bishop on a chess board were drunk, underclothed and prone to inventing bad euphemisms for sex.
Chris went with Stephanie, so Tanya goes home. There is much weeping and gnashing of teeth, and I'd guess that Myrna's days are numbered. I actually liked Tanya -- she seemed genuine and not tremendously bitchy, and I'm sorry to see her go. However, it will be interesting to see what Mike does once she's gone.
Next week, a past competitor comes back to Paradise. Please, for the love of god, let it be Nate or Johnny, because if it's Raheim, I may be forced to shoot myself.
I have to say I was very disappointed with this episode. Granted I know I seen it coming from the second Myrna laid eyes on Mike and knew he liked "philipino" chicks, but still. I know Tanya did the genuine thing by letting Lauren stay, but things just aren't going to be the same...

Poor Mike but,I know the OG's will get there revenge on them.I hope Tanya and Mike stay together they are a good couple. I don't feel sorry for Myrna I don't like her at all she needs to get over herself. Hell has no Fury like a love torn apart. They need to get rid of T.D shes a backstabber and I can't stand her or Myrna. Goodbye Tanya you will be missed girl keep your head up they will be taken care of!!

Kaz | Apr 7, 2008 11:48:34 PM | #P.S. Tanya, you are one classy chic the way you committed hara-kiri/seppuku. Godspeed, we will all miss you very much!
Kaz | Apr 7, 2008 11:51:06 PM | #Oh please don't let Raheim back on this show, he was the WORST jerkoff I had seen in a long time - almost basically like a male version of Myrna actually! LOL
But in Myrna's defense here... she at least made the show interesting again. It totally needed to be shook up some and get some eyebrows raised.
Now I am awake!
PH2_Watcher | Apr 7, 2008 11:51:06 PM | # I thought Tanya was genuine and totally cool from the start. I loved the relationship with Mike.
I hate that asian chick who thinks she is all that. She is a very very cold b**ch. She's not even all that pretty in my opinion.
I hope she gets fat and vericose veins pop out on her legs like a road map.
God, I want to slap her!!!
Myrna sucks!! Her voice is like scratching nails down a chalk board. It's so nasal. Hope they let Tanya come back in a couple episodes!
Amanda | Apr 8, 2008 3:43:51 AM | #i liked tanya, just so a previous post knows, it won't be nate, he died shoirtly after the airing or taping.
kerri | Apr 8, 2008 6:36:48 AM | #OMG! How did Nate die?
Donna | Apr 8, 2008 7:33:56 AM | #They are probably going to bring Chelsea back..the asian girl from the beginning..the first one to go...she was cool
bo | Apr 8, 2008 7:44:18 AM | #Sad to see Tanya go. She was one of my favorites. Next guy to go I'm guessing is Aaron.
Jason | Apr 8, 2008 11:05:47 AM | #I heard Nate committed suicide, which surprised me, since he seemed very level-headed on the show.
Marina | Apr 8, 2008 12:01:57 PM | #Nate did commit suicide. But I think it was after the entire show was done, so he could definately come back to visit. If you do a 'google' on nate, paradise hotel 2, there should be a story that explains what happened. RIP Nate ......
Banga | Apr 8, 2008 1:02:50 PM | #i think it is zach from season 1 that is coming back...it said no stranger to paradise so it could be someone from the first show...its to early for someone from this season
linda | Apr 8, 2008 1:58:15 PM | #the old girls should have voted out chris at the pandoras box instead of johnny..now they are doomed
linda | Apr 8, 2008 1:59:56 PM | #Personally, I like Chris. I think he's my favorite because he's the only SMART one on the show. He's playing the game... which is what Paradise Hotel is about. Geez, who the hell in their right mind would want to go to a place like that, hang out with skanks and man whores willingly if there was not a big cash prize in the end? that is why I like Chris, he understands the show for what it is and is trying to win the prize, which should be the objective. In my books, he's the only SMART one who is not getting emotionally attached to people that probably would not even give each other time of the day in the real world. GO CHRIS!
angy | Apr 8, 2008 4:10:03 PM | #I'm with Linda, I think someone from the first season will comeback. Zach came to mind first but it could be Toni or Dave as well.

LINDA | Apr 9, 2008 12:47:15 PM | #Tanya was on millionaire matchmaker a few weeks ago
bree | Apr 9, 2008 1:07:39 PM | #Nate passed away in October so it wont be him.
kymmie | Apr 9, 2008 7:16:27 PM | #I liked Tanya, too, but please, name one thing Myrna has done, except eliminate your favorite playa? And why shouldn't she?
The real sleeze woman is Lauren. What an annoying, petty, and self-entitled twit she is!
