The Second Horseman Of The Apocalypse: Paradise Hotel 2, Baby! YEAH!

Paradisehotel

(The First Horseman was that whole Two Girls One Cup thing, natch.)

As sure a sign of The Endtime as any, Fox has reanimated the putrefying corpse of what was perhaps The Best Awful Reality Television Show EVAR ("Temptation Island" is the only other possible contender for that somewhat confusing title, methinks). Oh yes, yesssssss mah pretties, prepare yourself now for the unimaginable cringe-and-nausea-inducing horrors of PARADISE HOTEL 2! WOOT!

Perhaps recognizing the pure, slimetastic evil of their own creation, Fox programming has relegated PH2 to its self-made D-List, AKA Fox Reality Channel. And who can blame them for wanting to put some distance between themselves and this guiltiest of guilty pleasures? After all, Fox has an unblemished reputation for quality programming of the highest order of integrity to uphold! snort.

Even the description of the show on their incredibly annoying, lame theme song looping website seems a little, well, half-assed:

Fox Reality Channel's original series, PARADISE HOTEL 2 brings a sexy new cast of eleven singles who check-in to a secluded hotel for an adventure-filled experience to win a cash prize.

"A cash prize"?? What the hell is that, exactly? Money for a bus ticket home and a little extra to cover a round of antibiotics to treat your complimentary VD?

The first episode aired last night, and thanks to my handy-dandy TiVo season pass I won't miss a millisecond of this delicious televisual trainwreck. For those of you who, like me, have no problem coat-checking your soul for an hour or two every week, this is reality TV awfulness at its finest, friends. A taste of the goodness badness goodbadness we have to look forward to:

Oh, I miss the writers.

Seriously, it's my guilty pleasure ....... the same way chocolate is no good for my ass ;) I cannot help it, I already can't wait for next weeks episode.

DO. NOT. GET. IN. CANADA.

I cannot even stand this.

I may have to renounce citizenship, because, what good is a country that shoves beer commercials down my throat but WILL NOT AIR what is possibly the longest and most engrossing beer commercial-cum-reality show ever made?

I spit on you, Canadian broadcasting standards persons.

(And? AAARGH.)

That is SO AWESOME. The Husband and I gobbled this crap up with a spoon last time around - oh wait. I just realized this is not on Fox proper but Fox Reality. I don't get that channel.

I'm so sad now.

The first one was AWESOME! The cute girls and the cute boys LOST! To the nerdy kids!!

And suddenly the high school years were totally vindicated!!!

Ugh. I seriously need to open a book.

I'm with HerBadMother... stuck in Canada, with too much hockey on TV and not NEARLY enough trash-tactular Paradise Hotel. **sigh**.
