Paradise Hotel: A Preview and Meeting the Hotel Guests

Welcome to Paradise Hotel, the most exclusive resort in the world, and a reality TV show to boot. Eleven single people are staying in Paradise, complete with a hotel staff to take care of their every need. Unfortunately for the guests, paradise can't last forever; each week one of the guests will be forced to leave. However, the number of guests will remain the same, because somebody new will be joining Paradise Hotel - and that somebody could be you!

Each week, eligible contestants will play a studio game, and the hotel guests will decide which new single joins them at Paradise Hotel. To qualify, you must meet eligibility requirements and fill out the application (which will be available on their web site, www.paradiseonfox.com, when the show premiers on Wednesday, June 18th). Contestants will then play a game, and a new single will enter Paradise Hotel to replace the departing guest. The "object" of the game is to remain in Paradise Hotel as long as possible. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be a prize like Big Brother or Survivor. You just get to be on TV and mingle with the other singles.
