Tonight the twists that made the first season of Paradise Hotel so insane returned. Not only did the casino reward return but the double elimination returned as well. Since we are down to the final hotel guests they have to start leaving more often and that means more twists to come. Tonight was no different as we started off by taking a look at the two sides.

It seems like right now the new people alliance is somewhat falling apart. With Zack now in the game it seems like he wants to sway Chris to his side and with him both Stephanie and TD. Although this is the case it seems that Chris wants Aaron to stay in the loop as well even though Zack does not want Chris in his “clique”. It’s interesting to see how Zack kind of ripped the newbies alliances part by simply telling Chris he wants to work with him. It’s almost like Chris wanted to drop Aaron for awhile now and Zack just gave him that chance.

Myrna was another one who was kind of on the outs of both alliances. She’s liked by all the guys but none of them really want her in the game. Zack believes she’ll just hurt the new guys while the OG’s just want her out for getting Tanya out last round. Myrna wasn’t shown too much this episode other then explaining flashing back to her fights with both Zack and Aaron.

On the originals side it was more of last weeks James and Lauren drama. Nobody from the originals caused any drama this week other then Lauren who everyone now believes is playing all the guys. James and Zack mentioned it at different times how Lauren is trying to get all the guys to like her in order to be safe on all accounts. Little did she know the one guy who she didn’t try to as Amanda would say “cozy up to” would be the one who send her out of Paradise.

It was then time for another envelope to appear and it was to announce the return of the Paradise Hotel Casino. If I remember correctly the casino caused tons of drama last season so I was excited that they brought it back. A game of poker with a “special prize” at the end was played with James taking a win over Zack. Amanda then appeared to let everyone know that she would announce what his prize was at the next elimination, which just happened to be right then and there.

Everyone was then sent down to the pool where the next elimination was to occur. The guys outnumbered the girls this week so that meant one of them would be going home. With his win of the poker tournament, James was told he was safe and was also given first pick. He quickly went to TD and every one’s mouths dropped as they knew this would screw over the newbie alliance. They had it all planned out who would go to who, but with James having immunity and him going to TD everything was very screwed up.

Zack was then up and if he was smart he would have went to either Lauren or Krista since this would have surely sent one of the OGs home. Instead he went to Stephanie, ensuring that either Chris or Aaron would leave. Ryan was up next and went to Lauren as normal while Chris went to Myrna. Mike was next up and went to the only remaining original girl who was open and that was Krista. Aaron was last and was obviously upset. He knew that Chris had made a deal with Zack then and it hit him hard. He walked over to Myrna and probably knew she would send him home.

Amanda then shocked us with another twist to the game as James was allowed to choose who would go home between Aaron and Chris. Usually Myrna would have done this as she was the one with the two guys who chose her. She was going to keep Chris in the game but James had other plans. He quickly told Chris that his time in paradise was over, saving Aaron who thought he was a goner. Chris was then told that he wasn’t leaving empty handed and was allowed to choose a girl to also take out of the running for the grand prize. It was between Myrna, Lauren and Krista. He would have never chose Myrna as she was going to keep him in the game and stuck to his guns to take Lauren out. With this sudden move and the several twists, both sides are down by one. Next week it seems that more twists await as Raheim, the seasons troublemaker, returns for some reason. Amanda did say that Zack would be the last “new” person entering paradise so technically Raheim could return as he is in fact not new to the season. Who knows what “twists” will come from next week but I’m sure it will be just as dramatic as tonight was.
