Paradise Hotel, July 7: But I’m A Cheerleader!

After dinner, host Amanda gathers the guests together and tells them that in a few moments, they'll be picking roommates. At the end of it, one of the women will be left unattached, and will have to leave Paradise forever. This time, there are no rules. The women can pick whichever guy tickles their fancy. Guest Amanda, as the outsider, gets to select first. In an unsurprising move, she picks Beau. She tells host Amanda that the two of them have come to an understanding, and the emotion is definitely there. Amy is up next, and selects Alex. Host Amanda questions her - when Kavita picked Zack, Amy said she'd get Zack back if she could. Amy responds that she and Alex would be roommates sooner or later, so why not now? Zack doesn't look too happy about it. Toni is third to pick, and makes a beeline straight for Scott. Why is she picking him now when she rejected him last week? Toni tells us that she broke her word with Scott last week, so she's making up for it now. If she leaves, her conscious will be clear. Kristen selects Zack next. Time for Charla to pick. Host Amanda reminds us she's been living with Dave and he's still available, but she can pick anybody she wants. Dave doesn't look like he wants Charla to pick him. Charla acts like she's picked Beau, but then goes over to select Dave. Host Amanda questions her decision, noting they had words over the Pandora's Box game. She tells her that Dave has forgiven her, and accepts her for who she is, and that's awesome. Kavita is the last to select a roommate. Host Amanda reminds us she picked Zack last week, and we're treated to some flashbacks of their relationship: her asking him if he wanted her, their making out, Zack's comments about her being dumb and cocky, and her giving him the cold shoulder before he went off to sleep in the Monkey Room with Beau and Amy. Kavita goes out and kisses Dave, but ends up selecting Scott. With that, four couples have formed, and they are instructed to go to the couch, while Scott has to make his decision between Kavita and Toni.

Scott tells Kavita he's liked her since the moment she arrived, and that she speaks her mind. He respects that. Toni starts to look worried. Scott goes on to say it's the toughest decision he's had to make since he's been at Paradise Hotel. With that, he tells Kavita he has to go with Toni. He kisses Kavita on the cheek, and tells her he's sorry. Toni isn't. Zack doesn't look too happy either. Host Amanda tells Scott and Toni to take their place on the couch. Turning to Kavita, she tells her she knows the rules, and she has to get her bags and leave Paradise forever. A few people look sad, but nobody is crying like they did the last time somebody had to check out.

OK,. Kavita, here is where you went wrong. The group is pretty tight, but there were cracks in it. In particular, you should have selected Dave as your roommate. Charla hurt his feelings when she said she didn't like him touching her bare skin, and he might have been ready to dump her after that went down. In addition, Charla isn't well liked by the group, and Dave might have jettisoned her to make the rest of them happy.

We switch from Paradise to Los Angeles, with host Amanda noting that Kavita had the shortest stay in Paradise ever (as if the show has been on for years). She went from fan of the show to star of the show back to fan of the show in just one week. Still, the rules remain the same: when a guest checks out, a new guest of the opposite sex will check in. She goes to the monitor, where the existing hotel guests are introduced via satellite. Host Amanda asks how they are all doing. "Great" is the unanimous reply. She then notes that they selected Kavita last week, but now she's no longer there. Host Amanda asks Zack to tell everybody about his up and down relationship with Kavita. He grins, and says that Kavita was too much of a cheerleader for him. He couldn't talk to her without wanting to fall asleep. Zack gets booed by the audience. Host Amanda goes on to Alex, reminding us that he and Beau had a huge fight the other night. Flashbacks are shown of their fight. So, have they kissed and made up? Alex says they have; they let a stupid girl get between them, and it won't happen again. The rest of the hotel guests drop their jaws at the "stupid girl" statement. Guest Amanda is obviously displeased by the remark. Host Amanda asks guest Amanda to comment. She says that apparently she's the stupid girl who got between them. She didn't mean any harm, and wants them to be OK with each other. Host Amanda puts Dave on the spot next, asking him if he used any particular technique when he and Kristen were kissing during the kissing game, or was he just holding on for dear life (flashback to Kristen kissing him; she was the only one who went at him hot and heavy). Dave tells her that when you're the new guy around, you take what you can get. Host Amanda thanks the guests and introduces the new contestants.

The first contestant is a 27-year-old musician from Dallas, Texas: Matthew Jacee. His audition video features him in a muscle shirt giving his background and telling us that he likes to have a lot of fun. Scenes are flashed of him playing his guitar and kissing girls. He claims that what makes him different from the rest of the people on the show is that he has heart. He doesn't care if a girl is blond, brunette, or redhead - it's all in the personality. What sticks is talking with somebody and having a connection. He's sure that the five girls at the hotel will pick him. He joins host Amanda on stage in a sleeveless shirt and leather pants. Host Amanda asks him who he's going to clash with on Paradise Hotel and why. His selection is Dave, because he's competition. When asked what kind of competition, he says athletic competition, and that he can bring it on. Dave tells us that he's not worried. Host Amanda repeats the statement, and Matt responds that Dave looks worried. Host Amanda assures him that he'll shake things up at Paradise Hotel - if he's selected.
