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.

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!
