Paradise Hotel is an American reality television program that aired on Fox in 2003, MyNetworkTV and Fox Reality Channel in 2008. In the show, a group of single people live in a luxurious hotel resort, competing to see who can stay in the hotel the longest. Periodically, someone is removed from the show, and others are brought in to replace them. Each week couples pair off and must share a hotel room together. One person is left over, and he or she has to leave. That person is then replaced the following episode. The format was created by Mentorn, a UK production company, which has produced various versions of the show around the world.
The first season of Paradise Hotel aired on Fox from June 18, 2003 to October 1, 2003 with thirty episodes and was hosted by Amanda Byram. A similar show called Forever Eden was produced the following year. A second season of Paradise Hotel followed four years later on MyNetworkTV and Fox Reality Channel, both of which are sister networks to Fox.
The winners of the first season were Charla Pihlstrom and Keith Cuda, with Dave Kerpen and Tara Gerard finishing as the runners-up. In the finale, Charla and Keith won $250,000, but had to decide whether to split it with their respective partners. Keith decided to split his winnings with Tara Gerard, while Charla chose to keep the money for herself and to give Dave nothing.
The second season began airing on February 4, 2008 on MyNetworkTV and Fox Reality Channel. It was aired four years after on Fox. Amanda Byram returned as host and Mark Thompson returned as the announcer.
New episodes aired on MyNetworkTV Monday nights at 9/8c with encore episodes airing Saturday nights at 9/8c. Fox Reality Channel aired more explicit, but still censored, same night TV-MA versions of new episodes at 1:00 a.m. (ET) / 10:00 p.m. (PT) with encores throughout the week. Episodes can also be seen on Hulu.
