Has anyone been watching Paradise Hotel? It's sorta like... well, I don't know what it's sorta like. The whole "sexy singles on an island resort" bit makes it seem like "Temptation Island" (which my first year university house was freakishly into...) except each week, an audience member watching from home gets to replace one of the aforementioned "sexy singles."

Now fair enough, there's enough eye candy to go around... even the token "I'm so hot with my model haircut I can afford to be bitchy" girl - Charla. (Think Chantille from "Are you hot" but waaay bitchier!) But here's the thing - there is no point to the show! There is no cash prize, no competitions/challenges, no objective other than to stay in the hotel! And then they intersperse the action on the island with shots of a supposed "live" studio audience back in L.A. who are hooting and cheering away so enthusiastically that it's obvious they are being paid to be there.

It's pretty boring to watch Paradise Hotel to be honest and right now I can't quite figure out why I'm still watching it... hmm... I keep watching expecting a huge "twist" that will suddenly turn this scantily-clad version of "The Lofters" into something well... scandelous. But no such luck yet. And now I'm also realizing that probably no one watches Paradise Hotel except for me and so I have wasted the past 15 minutes on nothing...

Anyone watch Fame?
