After a weeks hiatus Voyeur 4.0 is back with an all new episode. Last week everything hit the fan as Ryann betrayed his alliance, had his guinea pig die and he was placed on the chopping block. In the end Robby lost a life and sent Casey completely out of the game. This weeks episode picks up the night that left off, with the tyrant challenge. For the power to nominate it was time for the good old Scavenger Hunt. Being a participate in the first season, I know how fun the challenge can be and it seemed no different for the 4.0 cast. After searching for forks, plates and plungers it came down to Robby and Brittany. In the end Brittany removed her underwear the fastest, giving her the Tyrant position. Before she could make her nominations it was time for a new addition to the game. This season a Safety Challenge would be played where those who win cannot be nominated. Brittany began choosing pairs and after, oh seven minutes, she finally chose her partner. She and her alliance wanted to control the other side, so Brittany chose the biggest enemy: Robby. After all pairs were selected it was Jas with Alyx, Erik with Ali, Jess with Tommy, Kym with Jacko, Mikey with Ryann, Frankie with Megan, and Cam with Mark. The challenge was then revealed and each pair had to create a “Fight Night” video. Basically they had create their own version of a Jerry Springer skit: “fake fight”. The pair with the best fight video would be safe from nomination and could not be eliminated. In the end it came down to Erik/Ali and Mark/Cam. Who will take home the first ever safety challenge win? Tune in next Friday to find out! For now watch the entire third episode of Voyeur 4.0 below.

Paradise Hotel 2
No Comments
On the last Paradise Hotel James was barely saved after being named the least trustworthy out of all the guests in the Hotel. He was then given even more power to send someone home and used it to better himself in the game. This week that power came back to bite him as everyone now turned against him. He tried to talk himself out of it but nobody seemed to care. If you remember James could have chose to send himself home over Myrna and chose not too. Several of the guests, including his once best friend Krista, disagreed with that move, ensuring that he’d probably be the next to go.
The next morning it was announced that Stephanie and Zack had “crushed” and have become the new love couple since Tanya left a few episodes ago. The girls’ breakfast was then shown with them discussing the game and the random nature of it as they never know what’s going on. At lunch time an infamous envelope was presented that let Zack know that he and the girls would be getting their own excursion. The three remaining guys would be sent on their own adventure which would lead to more James drama.
Zack and the girls were taken to a ranch where they rode horses along the beach. I wish they would have brought some of these excursion into play throughout the entire show as it gives a nice break from the regular hotel setting. After their horseback riding was over the four sat down to have some desert and yet another envelope appeared. TD read it and let Zack know that he had choose one of the three girls to spend the night with him in the “romantic setting”. He chose Stephanie for obvious reasons and the excursion was then over for TD and Krista.
The three guys also got some vacation time and spent it at a small beach. They swam a bit in the ocean and threw some football and then it was all down to game talk. Well kind of… James was the only one to talk game since Mike and Ryan wanted to forget about it for the time being. Mike seems to be annoyed with James’ active game play and feels he’s playing it way to hard. Why do half of the people on the show forget they are on a competition reality show…. not a dating/hang out show.
When the guys returned to the hotel they found it completely empty. This sent them in a small panic as they expected some type of twist to play into the excursions. All three thought people would returning or someone new would be joining the game but alas they found that was not the case when TD and Krista returned. They also had some fear that a twist or sudden elimination ceremony would take place and were shocked when nothing happened.
While at their “romantic setting” one on one, Stephanie and Zack become much closer. At first they thought no cameras were present but quickly realized one was hiding in the corner. As Stephanie tried to make a move on Zack it quickly was revealed that wasn’t going to happen. Zack wanted nothing to do with a “public showing” which angered Stephanie a bit. He brought up her shower scene with Ryan a few weeks ago. Stephanie then began to cry and their romantic evening was cut short.
The next morning the two returned to Paradise Hotel and everyone was back in play. It seems new alliances were being created as the OGs fell apart. James realized that he couldn’t rely on Krista anymore since she wasn’t going to choose him last round and he continued to tell her he almost sent her home. He then started to work on TD who he was once close with week one. She realized this was all game play and seemed somewhat confused on if she could trust James or not. Another friendship that was changing was with Ryan and Mike. They were always tight but after James’ sudden change Ryan became Mike’s best buddy. It’s funny how it changed so quickly and everyone James was close with seemed to disown him. The third friendship that shifted was Krista and Stephanie. They were always close but now it seems that Stephanie may be favoring Krista over TD.
At dinner another envelope was brought into play and all were told that the next elimination would be the last. This meant the couples would be locked in and no more room selections would occur. Everyone seemed stunned but it was obvious this was to happen. It also sent everyone into thinking what twists could accompany the news and all ideas were being spit out. The largest was that whoever was chosen to be the odd man out would also take out a couple. Everyone assumed that James would be the one eliminated so they feared the worse. He and TD formulated some sort of plan in case the twist was brought into play but it was never really said what the plan was.
At the elimination things went as predicted. The girls were the ones sitting and the guys were on the chopping block. Zack was up first and although he and Stephanie were fighting he went to her. Mike was up next and kept his same roommate in Krista as they both are “being themselves”. Next were Ryan and James and both ended up going to TD as planned. What happened next sent James packing with no more power in the game other then saying goodbye. TD, for some strange reason, chose Ryan to stay and sent the latest trouble starter: James out of paradise and out of the game.
Next week the power is given to one more player as someone is given the chance to send a couple out of Paradise. Those voted out since Zack came into the hotel then return to crown the winner in some sort of vote. Drama once again ensues as old enemies turn into friends and friends turn into enemies. Which couple will take home the grand prize? Make sure to tune in next week as I’m sure it will be a shocker!

Paradise Hotel 2
No Comments
On last weeks episode we were left with a teaser that Raheim, the hotels bad boy, would be returning to the game for a very special reason. This week he did just that and his choices resulted in another double elimination. It all started as the guests were put through another Pandora’s Box. Once again the explosions occurred as this time it seemed Myrna was being targeted. In his question James outed Myrna as having no connection to any of the remaining guys. Another question was then asked about Myrna where she failed to defend herself. When it was her turn to ask a question she turned it around which erupted in an argument with Mikey. She ended up making herself look even worse but that’s what usually happens when Pandora’s Box is brought into play. The last question of the night was then read by a very special guest. Raheim walked through the door to let everyone know he was there and there to “do a job”.
With Raheim there everyone was on their toes. Some where scared, such as TD and Stephanie, while others were excited to see his return. He wanted the night to go well so he told them all to simply party the night away and that they did. James, Stephanie and TD seemed to cling to him right away knowing he would have some sort of power in the game. Myrna and Zack did the opposite and thought if they tried to stay as “outsiders” they would avoid the drama Raheim was sure to bring.
The next morning things changed quickly as everyone tried to get their chance to talk to Raheim. While most were doing that Zack pulled Krista aside to let her know that James, who she trusts, wanted to get Ryan out last round when Zack was immune. She didn’t like this too much and realized then that James was playing the game “too hard” and she felt that was a bad thing to do. Throughout the rest of the episode Krista’s hatred towards James builds but it ultimately helps both him and her in the end.
When it came to discussions with Raheim everyone seemed to patch things up. When he talked to Stephanie she let him know that everything between them was a huge misunderstanding. He seemed to believe her, even though she was telling the truth, and it somewhat assured that Stephanie wouldn’t be going home thanks to Raheim. TD was next up and the conversation was very similar. He told her that he understand why she did what she did and wasn’t upset that she had to make an alliance with the new people to further her in the game.
Next up was a crucial one as Krista pulled Raheim aside to let him know about James. She told him how James would tell her he had to get Raheim out and also mentioned what Zack said about getting out Ryan. He wasn’t happy with the news she just dealt him and pulled both James and Mikey inside. He asked both if they ever wanted him out of the game and both said no. Later Krista told James what she told Raheim and also told him she couldn’t choose him as her roommate. It’s interesting how one person coming back into the game changed several relationships. It almost brought everyone together in a way which I would have never have predicted.
James and Raheim then had a private conversation before the elimination could occur. Here James admitted that he did say he wanted Raheim out at some point but blamed anger and beer. Raheim seemed to understand but then laid it all out. He told James that nobody in the game trusts him anymore and anything he does there really isn’t anyone he can choose that will keep him in the game. James seemed to know this was the case but I don’t really think he knew how bad it was for him, game wise.
When it was time for the elimination to occur everyone wanted to know why Raheim was there and what he would be doing. Amanda then very simply asked Raheim who was most trustworthy and least trustworthy still at Paradise. He chose Mikey to be the most and James to be the least (oh what a shocker! not). The twist the producers probably had in mind then backfired as Amanda revealed that both Mikey and James were safe and were actually given the power to send one person home each. It’s kind of unfair but I guess the twists in Paradise never are. Raheim chose both people who were his friends and it guaranteed that two newbies would be leaving. In the end Mikey sent Aaron home while James chose Myrna to leave. Raheim also left the hotel leaving the game in its final seven. Next week more drama ensues thanks to James and it seems even Mikey is turning on him. Then we get back to normal as a single elimination occurs that declares the final three couples.

Last week on Paradise Hotel Tanya left the game, leaving Mikey without his girlfriend and the originals (OGs) in a state of weakness. That drama continued first thing tonight as everyone realized Tanya was gone. Mikey was hit the hardest as Myrna, his new roommate who was the same girl who sent Tanya home, locked him out of his own room. She said she was scared of what he might do or say, but that’s her own fault. The rest of the OGs weren’t happy with the decision of Tanya going either. All said that Myrna was now enemy number one and wanted her out first chance they got.
The next day a new arrival stepped foot into Paradise…. kind of. Zack, who was on the first season of Paradise Hotel, is the new arrival for season 2 and is also the last person entering the game. If you’ve seen the first season you know that Zack is very explosive. He was kicked out for saying he would beat up another guy on the show. Zack also fell in love on the first season. He was on the “Tanya” end of things with Amy as a new guy sent him packing as Myrna sent Tanya packing. I never expected to see anyone from the first season turn up again, besides Toni maybe, and Zack returning will surely stir up the pot.
With the game completely split down the middle it’s obvious that Zack will decide which group moves on to the “grand prize”. He seemed to gravitate more towards the originals, maybe because he was once one himself. He seemed to click well with Mike after reading Tanya’s letter. She let him know how close her and Mike was and it seems like Zack came in with perfect timing. Both he and Mike felt similar feelings on Paradise Hotel so they will obviously have a bond. The question is will that bond turn into some sort of alliance, we shall wait and see.
Since we are getting close to the end the people at Paradise let the guests out on a little trip. The guys were sent on a deep sea fishing trip while the girls got almost everything waxed. Now I can see how fishing is fun but how is waxing a reward? Maybe it’s a girl thing. On the guy’s trip they all let Zack know about the girls. Myrna was the one brought up the most and the OGs continued to work on Zack that she’s one to watch out for.
While the guests were lounging at the pool some interesting things happened. The OGs basically swarmed around Zack, not allowing any of the newbies to talk to him. This could be a plan of attack but it doesn’t seem that way. Zack could easily go and talk to the others himself but he just doesn’t seem to want to. It was then announced that the originals and newbies would split up and each have a separate dinner. I’m not sure if the show wanted Zack to finally have some time with the other group or if it was all planned out before hand. It was interesting to see Myrna put on the spot for once and told she’s very “valley girlish”. Zack told her to not put any makeup on or get dressed up for dinner but she didn’t care to listen. It then turned into a semi-fight so I assume anything between the two was quickly squashed.
After dinner everyone regathered for a good old game of “truth or dare”. That game can never lead to any good and it actually seemed to hurt the OGs a ton. Lauren was asked to pick the person she found most attractive and kiss them. Her and James have been close the entire season but she decided to pick Zack. James didn’t like this too much and retaliated by doing the same to Myrna. Lauren didn’t seem to care, which angered James more. It also set Zack up for a switch to the newbies as he realized he would never be safe with the OGs. It is smart what he’s thinking as Lauren and Krista would never select him over Mikey, James or Ryan. At the very end we saw the start of something new as Zack woke Chris up to tell him that he wants a final four deal with himself, Chris, Stephanie and TD. Should be an interesting next episode as it seems the Paradise Hotel casino is back up. If I remember correctly, that caused some drama last time around so who knows what it will bring this time.
