Is this the most frustrating cast of a reality show ever?

Am I the only one who thinks this might be the most annoying cast of a reality show ever?

I mean I'm getting a bit of motion sickness from shaking my head at every dumb thing that these people say. There is nothing more laughable than hearing people pontificate about relationships who take being voted off a resort like an execution. It seems to be a common theme in most of these shows though of how they form the super close bonds with everyone in a matter of hours which always makes me wonder if they've ever had any friends outside the show.

I am in total agreement with you. The way these people act, you would think they never been around well mannered, friendly, and morally upstanding folks who could teach them even common sense let alone social skills. I guess it is due to editing, but it also surprises me that(unless I missed it) they have not left the hotel property, gone to a beach, or toured any other local scenic attraction. I'm surprised they don't at least try to show them having a restful vacation at some point.

Where is this supposed Paradise Hotel located? Is it an actual tropical resort or is it just on a studio backlot somewhere? From the angst and stress they seem to be under, it looks like Hell Hotel rather than Paradise Hotel. :

So how long do you think it will it be before one of the guests poisons another one's dinner?

I finally just read this...that would be quite the twist, wouldn't it??

Paradise Hotel is just a fake name for the Fox show to attempt to disguise the true name and actual location of where this show is being filmed at. The name of this exotic resort is really called Casa Arabesque and is located in Acapulco Mexico. To learn more about it visit their website at http://www.susanapalazuelos.com/lugares/arabe.html The site is all in Spanish, even if you don't know Spanish you can view photos of the resort. I bet it costs a bundle to stay there, but it would be worth it. It's a beautiful place.

From what we've seen so far, I think it would be a welcome relief, actually.

They should have named the show "Idiot's Paradise" because that's what all those people are.

Toni should have been a B-movie actress the way she can make her entire face shake when she pretends to be shocked. When Kavita selected Scott (dumb move, K!) Toni actually tried to look terrified as if she and Scott hadn't made a deal to stick together.

Zack continues to be the biggest a**hole there, but followed very closely by Dave Horseface whom I detest and despise for his needy ways. He pretends to be Mr. Personality (argh, that name brings back bad memories) but shows his vulnerability when he feels attacked by anyone. That's when he lashes out and gets nasty. Why do the guys suddenly like him? I just don't get it.

I doubt they really like him CG, they were just trying to get him to go along with whatever plan they had.

That's exactly what I think too. The guys are totally setting Dave up to take the fall next week. Adios, Dork.

Well, ok JR and YA, I feel better. That's a huge load off my mind.

However, I will say this after watching "Cupid" tonight. Paradise Hotel is looking better and better.

P.S. I wonder why Zack's mom dropped him off at the grocery store? Was it safer than leaving him at home? Hmmmm.

Heh. My mom told me when Zack said that: "I would have left him too, and not thought twice about it."

Heh, Yellow Apple, I told my son the same thing last night. Your Mom and I are in total agreement!
