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

The next candidate is a 24-year-old real estate investor from Atlanta, Georgia: Bryan Krause. Bryan has a shaved head and tells us he's from down South where the players play. He says he should be on Paradise Hotel since he's been watching it like the rest of America, and the guys that are on the show need to go back to the gym. He says that being without hair makes people think he's meaner that he really is, but girls like it, so he's going to keep it for a while. He joins host Amanda in the studio, where she asks him if there is anybody at the hotel he'll butt heads or clash with. He says he learned a long time ago how to hold his liquor and not make a fool of himself, then coughs "Dave." Still, he's not naming names. Uh, I think you just did. He then goes on to say that he doesn't hang out with people like that; he only hangs out with people who know how to have a good time. Dave responds that he doesn't hang out with people like Bryan.

Time for the guests to grill the candidates. Guest Amanda is up first. She tells Matthew she loves musicians, and wants him to make up a really quick song about her. "Today I might be alone, and tomorrow it might be the same, but there is one that I'll always know, you might be my roommate someday," he sings. Well, improv musician he's not, but guest Amanda seems to like it just the same. Charla's question is for Bryan. She says he has the whole "Mr. Clean" thing going on. Does he shave anywhere else? He tells her that the only hair on him is on his chin and armpits. So yeah, he does shave other places. Charla and Kristen seem to like that answer. The men don't. Alex reminds Matthew that he said he didn't mind if girls were blond, brunette, or redheads. Is it really true, or is he just settling for what he can get? Matt responds that he doesn't care; personality says it all. He then suggests that Alex doesn't have a personality. He's just going to bring his game. Toni asks the next question. She tells Matthew he has this whole John Travolta flavor going on. She wants him to do an impersonation of Vinnie Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter, and she wants it right now. He goes up to the screen and tells her he'll walk back from there so that she can see his backside. Toni responds that is what she wants to see. Dave closes out the question round. He asks Bryan since he is from where the players play, if he makes it to Paradise, is he going to play any of them? Bryan says his bad; he wasn't listening, since he was trying to imagine Dave with a personality. Dave seems to laugh it off, but Toni opens her mouth in astonishment. We then get a glimpse of the audience, where one girl is holding up a sign that says "Dave, We (Heart) Your Man Boobs."

Host Amanda thanks the guests for their questions, and tells us that the ladies of Paradise Hotel will get to select which man will get to join them. She then offers each man a final opportunity to charm the women. The men get into position, and Matt goes first. He says the group is a family, and he likes family. He wants to go to the family and bring a lot of energy, and that's what he thinks he can do. He's going to leave the drama behind and bring the party to them.

Bryan tells the ladies he wrote a little rhyme while waiting in the studio. It goes like this:

Matt doesn't look too happy, and neither do the women at Paradise Hotel. Bryan closes out by saying he hopes to see them soon in Paradise.

So it's time to find out which guy will get the ticket to Paradise. Amy is the spokesperson for the girls. She tells both of the guys that they are both wonderful people, and it took a lot of guts for them to get up and do what they did. However, they can only invite one of them to join them. She then tells Matt to pack his bags; he's coming to Paradise! Host Amanda reminds the guests that when Matt arrives, he'll have his choice of any of the ladies to be his roommate. She then tells them that she and Matt will be there in a few hours. She closes out the show by giving the usual reminder that you can go from fan of the show to star of the show by going to paradiseonfox.com, and leads Matthew to the limousine that will take him to Paradise.

Next time, it's a special 90-minute episode. Matthew arrives, but the "rock star's" sexy moves on the women don't make fans out of the men. Zack and Amy have another fight. Guest Amanda juggles Beau, Matt, and Alex. The producers blatantly rip off the upcoming Big Brother 4: The X-Factor by bringing guest Amanda's old boyfriend to the hotel. We're promised the event will turn every relationship on Paradise Hotel upside down.
