Paradise Hotel, July 16: Fighting Dirty

It doesn't quite work as she doesn't have any, but she asks him if he wants lip gloss instead. He then tells her she's the best thing to happen to Paradise Hotel since him. She thanks him, but knows something funny is going on. He then starts the explanation, noting that it is 11:55 p.m. He asks her to name one thing she didn't expect about him based on what she saw on television. She responds that she thought he was going to take off his shirt and show her his man-boobies. He tells her that in the old days, that might have thrown off his game, but it doesn't affect the "New" Dave. He hugs her, then tells her she must have seen highlights of the kissing game on TV. At this point, the other girls knock on the door, and Dave tells Tara to ignore it. However, the girls come in anyway, and the guys exit the closet, nothing that it was 11:59 p.m. and Dave lost. Dave makes a last minute attempt to kiss Tara, but the gong rings and he's lost the bet. Everybody yucks it up, and tells Dave to get down to his boxers. He pays off the bet, stripping down to chants of "Go Dave!", and ends by giving Toni a kiss on her cheek and wishing her a happy birthday.

After that, Alex and Kristin go swimming - with Kristin still wearing her dress. They starting holding and kissing each other. Charla and Scott go back to the Yellow Room, with Scott wanting Doritos and Charla asking him if he wants to see her toasted chachows. He tells her she looks beautiful, as always, and she carries herself like a lady, which he likes. They sleep in the same bed, but on opposite sides. Charla wonders if Scott is more fun in Chi-town. All is not well in the Blue Room, though, where Toni is crying her eyes out in front of Beau. "I'm 29 years old, and I don't have anything," she wails. Beau responds that she's young and beautiful, and he's not going to talk about it, because she's beautiful. "You don't have any idea what it's like for me to walk out and see you guys," she cries. Beau repeats that she's beautiful, repeats it again, and finally tells her to shut up because she's beautiful. She continues to cry. Over in the Monkey Room, Dave asks guest Amanda if there is anything going on between Scott and Charla. "No," replies guest Amanda, and she's right.

The next day, Dave and guest Amanda decide to visit Tara in the Single Room. Guest Amanda starts opening the door, but Dave asks her to knock first. "I don't knock," says guest Amanda. Dave tells Tara that guest Amanda wants to know if she's staying. Tara says that the only two guys that have tried to get to know her are Dave and Scott. They all finally agree that if Tara picks Beau, guest Amanda is going home. Dave tells Tara outright that nobody knows what will happen if Tara doesn't pick him or Beau. He goes on to tell her that there is an "in-group," which Tara correctly identifies as Amy, Kristin, and Toni. Tara agrees that when she goes by them, they all turn and look at her and get quiet. Dave tells her that Amy controls that group, and through Zack, the men. Apparently, Zack talked to Dave about getting rid of Charla. Guest Amanda says the others are plotting to get rid of her, and she doesn't want to go. However, Charla tells us in confessional that she's afraid she's going home, because she's bonded with the other people the least.

Later on, guest Amanda gives Alex a massage and tells him she had told Scott she wanted to room with him this week. She still wants to, but now she's afraid the guys don't want her at Paradise Hotel anymore. He tells her she'd have to ask the others about that. In confessional, Kristin tells us that everybody is ready for guest Amanda to go, and they can make it happen. Indeed, Zack and Alex are plotting guest Amanda's demise as well, with Alex saying that Kristin plans to pick any guy that guest Amanda picks. The code name for the operation is “Project: Terminate Her.” Elsewhere, Charla offers Tara a pact; if she remains at Paradise Hotel at the end of the next selection, she'll have Tara's back forever. Tara agrees, and they shake on it.

Breakfast time, and a hotel staff member brings an envelope to Tara. It's another excursion, this time to a beach, and she gets to invite everybody. The girls jump up and start screaming the news to the guys, who don't believe them. Tara continues to read the message, and finds out there is a very special surprise for her and Scott. The girls wonder what it could be, apparently not remembering the challenge that was thrown down during the selection process.

When they arrive at the beach, everybody strips down to bathing suits and goes swimming except for guest Amanda, who remains fully clothed on the lounge chair. As most of the guests have fun on a float pulled by a powerboat, Kristin and Toni lay out and guest Amanda and Charla have a chat. Guest Amanda muses that Amy, Toni, and Kristin are a clique, and if they don't want her to be there, she's going home. So why bother to fight? Charla responds that she's still kicking even though she's been excluded since day one. Guest Amanda muses that the trust is gone between her and a lot of people, and she hates feeling like that. They then note that Dave is watching them. Tara, Dave, and Charla have a chat, with Dave saying he's sick of the "in crowd," noting it's like junior high. He gleefully notes that one of them is going home this week, and he can't wait to see who it will be. Charla tells him it might be her, but Dave tells her it won't be. Guest Amanda is going home if she picks Beau. He tells Charla she has one day to convince guest Amanda to change tactics, but Charla tells him she's tried for two days already, and Scott won't keep guest Amanda either. Later, Dave tells Charla and guest Amanda that he wants them both to stay, but more importantly he wants one of the "in crowd" to leave.

Time for the special surprise for Tara. A staff member tells her that as requested, Paradise Hotel has granted her a mud pool fight with Scott. Flashback to the challenge made during selection. Scott and Tara oil each other up, and Zack plays announcer and introduces the contestants. They wrestle around, and Scott easily drops her for the three-count. Tara is totally dirty with mud from her toes to her hair. Scott thinks he's such a man - able to defeat a 110 pound brunette! Beau and Alex play rock-paper-scissors, with the loser having to wrestle Toni with only one arm. Alex loses and gets oiled up. He ends up dropping her quickly, and the three-count is highlighted with mud splashing on the camera lens. Toni and Dave go next, and this time Toni pins Dave at first, but he squirms out and eventually pins Toni for the three-count. Toni then storms that Dave grabbed her top, and notes privately that she's going to nail him so hard he'll be sweating.
