With our little trouble maker Raheim gone I wasn’t sure if the others could hold there own. But we seem to have a new trouble, or rather ‘drunk’ trouble starter in Ryan who basically stole the show and was the center of everything. First things first though, the new girl. Myrna entered the hotel as a ‘fashion designer from LA’ who just happens to be Asian. Apparently Mikey, the guy who has been clung to Tanya since day one, loves Asians so I’m sure producers put Myrna in there to try and break up the love birds. I personally don’t see that happening.

Myrna seems to be straight from the valley as every last syllable of every sentence lingers on for at least 3 seconds. She says like about twenty time every five minutes and I swear she said ‘totally’ sometime during the show! Myrna doesn’t seem to have any clue what she got herself into and didn’t seem comfortable at all on the show. I guess you always need a ‘fake’ person on a reality show and I believe she may just be the first one on Paradise Hotel 2 who actually acts fake. Of course they are mostly all there to get famous, but I think she knows she’s there to get famous and isn’t hiding it one bit.

After picking Aaron in the “Mr. Paradise Hotel” contest, Myrna got to spend some time with him at dinner where he basically begged her to join his alliance with Chris, TD and Stephanie. After some small talk Aaron got straight to the point, telling Myrna “It’s me or Chris going home next if you stick with the originals, and you’ll be gone short after.” Hmm sure weren’t waiting for the right moment were you Aaron? When they got back at the hotel it was time for drinking of course! Ryan, once again, got a little tipsy and officially took over for Raheim. After he told Myrna that he was told she likes guys with real jobs (Ryan is a lifeguard don’t forget) the two got into a little tiff. It was more against him and Tanya I guess since she took Myrna’s side instead of Ryan’s and that didn’t make him too happy. He went straight into tell Mikey what Tanya said, which backfired of course. Now why would you tell the guy who is ‘crushing’ Tanya that she is ’stupid’? Oh I forgot, he was drunk out of his mind!

The next day more drama went down and it’s basically Ryan’s fault as well. Lauren was told by Ryan that Stephanie and Aaron kissed, so she asked Aaron if they did and he denied it. Aaron once again used his bad timing skills to run down and tell Stephanie that Lauren was spreading rumors that they hooked up. As Stephanie floated in the pool, she told Lauren that she never kissed Aaron. Lauren wasn’t too happy that Aaron let the cat out of the bag and said, right in front of Stephanie, that Aaron should leave. But here is where Lauren was smart. Instead of waiting for Stephanie to tell Aaron, she went and told him herself. He wasn’t too fond of the comment and let it slide for now.

It was the time for the official twist of the episode. New girl Myrna was to have a one-on-one conversation with each of the guests at Paradise. After sitting through a boring 10 minute segment of her talking, and once again looking very fake and uncomfortable, we finally got to the good stuff. Myrna got to choose new roommates for each of the guests, basically making the night where they actually chose roommates pointless. She used a good strategy in my part in choosing people who don’t get along. James and Krista were paired up, once again, so I’m sure that will help them. Tanya and Chris being paired up wasn’t too exciting either as both of them haven’t really connected it seems.

The interesting pairings were the next few. TD and Mikey were paired up. In their one-on-one Mikey told Myrna that TD should be the next to go. Let’s hope she finds out so we can see some brawling going down between TD and Tanya! Another interesting pairing is Ryan with Stephanie. Both have ‘finger painted’ together a few times this season yet the feeling isn’t mutual. Stephanie is loving Ryan just a little more then he loves her. He basically calls her a one night stand and actually wants her to be the next to go. Hopefully Myrna spills those beans and Stephanie has a classic freak out! The one that I find most interesting and brilliantly done by Myrna is the pairing of Lauren and Aaron. As I said before, they HATE each other, so it should be very amusing to see how they react when they have to live together. Next time it seems like Stephanie does find out Ryan’s true feelings. Hopefully she freaks out as expected and goes down in crazy reality girl history!

Why oh why do people complain when they get played? I mean the show opens up with Erik saying that the “playing field has been lowered to lying”. Seriously dude, do you know what show you are on? People lie since day one! I mean seriously, he had to realize what he was getting himself into. You can’t go on Survivor and expect to win by not lying to anyone or anyone at all to lie. He wasn’t even voted out and he’s complaining. Erik has just got on by bad side and I really hope he gets played harder then Joel was.

Remaining at the Malakal beach we learned that all the fans were feeling the heat of just voting out Joel. Tracy knew she had to do it to keep her alliance of Chet in the game but realized the numbers were now not in her favor. I’m not sure if they have Erik on their side, I’d assume they do but it isn’t clear. Tracy is proving to be a very big player and pulled Ami aside. Ami realizes she’s low on the favorite totem poll as the other three, Amanda, Ozzy and Cirie were all in an alliance pre-swap. It seems like Ami holds the power on Malakal as she could go either way right now.

Over as Arai it seems the favorites are in power as well. Jonathan and Eliza know they have to get either Parvati or James out, since they are too close, and set a plan of attack. They both want to join the fans to get either of the two love birds out and would control the game over there if they did. The only problem there was Jonathan’s knee which he says was getting better. I’m not sure if he really was getting better or just telling everyone that so they wouldn’t worry…

 At the reward challenge the survivors had to first barricade a tunnel and after 10 minutes they would switch and have to remove the other tribes barricade and crawl through the tunnel. The winning tribe would get a visit from two natives to the camp who would show them how to live off the land. Malakal was in an early lead, as usual, but was once again quickly beaten by the new Arai. I’m kind of sad this is happening and it’s like deja vu for Ozzy who had the same problem in the Cook Islands. Plus Malakal losing meaning my favorite Cirie loses and that just sucks!

Before they returned to their beach Jonathan was asked to be looked at by the medics. I had a bad feeling this moment was on it’s way and it was very hard to watch. I liked Jonathan in the Cook Islands and thought he was playing a great game once again. I really didn’t want him to go but knew it was best for him. It was so hard to watch though, and is one of the saddest moments I can ever remember watching the show. I’m glad Jonathan was able to recover but sadly it was at the loss of the game for him and for us, the loss of a great player and personality on the show.

As Arai returned to their beach it was a very bitter sweet feeling. They had to deal with Jonathan being evacuated but won a great reward that would give them a much better camp life. James was the only guy remaining after Jason went to Exile and seemed very uncomfortable. Luckily two Micronesia men named Joe and Edwin visited the beach and gave them some excitement. The two taught the Arai tribe how to fish and how to catch crabs. It was nothing major, at least from what they showed, other then a huge feast for the group which they made up for after their last feast was washed away b the waves last time.

At Malakal things suddenly changed. They realized that they were on the outs as they haven’t won a challenge since the swap. Ami knew things weren’t going well and decided she would change things up. She told Tracy that she will stay loyal to her and the other fans to get Cirie out of the game. They felt Cirie should go since she’s been playing the game hard yet still is nice at heart (that’s what I love about her) and well apparently that makes her more a threat then crazy challenge threat Ozzy. Not much else really happened on Malakal but over at Exile Island some fun foreshadowing was sure a brewing!

Both Chet and Jason were sent to Exile after the reward challenge and both had different agendas. Chet, who has a “foot injury” decided to basically vegetate some more and let jungle boy Jason run around island hoping at will. Jason, which we knew thanks to the spoiling preview, found the fake idol and is apparently a complete idiot. He believed a freaking stick with a little face carved into it was a Survivor big production immunity idol and I just can’t WAIT until he tries to play it. Seriously it will really make up for the leave of Jonathan.

At the immunity challenge everyone learned that Jonathan was evacuated and thanks to Jason’s big mouth that Ozzy has the hidden idol. Of course not everyone believed him but I’m sure it put the idea in some people’s minds. Plus it probably put a huge target on Jason’s back as now people will think HE has the idol, or at least found where it is. The challenge was a rehash from a few seasons ago but this time people got smart, at least Arai did. They carried both Parvati and Eliza using one pole instead of two and basically cut their time in half. It gave them such a huge lead, once again, that Malakal had no chance to catch up and giving them another notch in their immunity win tree.

Malakal once again had to decide who would be leaving and Chet made it obvious that he wanted to go since his “foot was infected”. Seriously someone just went out of the game for a REAL infection, so stop complaining. Although the plan was already set basically, Tracy and Erik came up with an idea to oust Ozzy. It was a great idea and would have been CRAZY if he had happened, but Chet couldn’t mester up the strength for even three more days. He basically gave himself his own walking papers and saved Ozzy, giving us a very unexciting end to a very exciting, yet sad, rest of an episode. Next week it seems that Kathy goes even more crazier, if that’s possible.
