[S01.E06: Episode 6]

The fact that Graham has no problem pointing out AshLee's crazy makes me like him. His "AshLee's gonna cut someone..." after he didn't get the date card made me almost fall off the couch in hysterics! 

 

 

The editors were killing it tonight when Lacy finally told Marcus that she loved him & the entire jungle rejoiced. Then when Christy said something about God willing or in His hands the church music started & the majestic scenery was highlighted. They're having fun. The camera or sound guy, whoever tried to help Lacy with stalagmites & stalactites was obviously close to laughing.

And this was the other part that had me giggling. I LOVE that the story producers and editors are having so much fun with the post side of production. Because I'm sure being in the field with this crew couldn't have been all that thrilling. 

[Episode Discussion: TFGH]

Is it wrong that I muted the Shawn scenes and just enjoyed the view of him in his boxer briefs? 

 

Tell me no. Tell me no. Tell me no.... 

[S01.E02: Episode 2]

 

Meanwhile, as a Wrong Reasons watcher, I think this is the most incredible display of must-watch train wreck TV that I have ever seen in my life.

JenE4, count me as one of the Wrong Reasons watchers. This show is so wrong...but so, so very right! 

[S01.E01: Premiere]

 

I think the wedding planner shows up for dessert on Date One.  Why wait?

It'd be the easiest way to get wedding cake tasting crossed off the list, don't you think, KerleyQ? 

[S01.E01: Premiere]

Oh. My. God. You guys.... this show is so deliciously bad!! 

 

To quote Willy Wonka.."I hope it lasts..." 

 

I don't even know where to begin conversating about it. 

 

All I can really say is Marquel, Dylan... if you like older women, call me. If not? This show should give you reason why you should start. We 40 somethings can carry on a conversation, we know what vistas are and we can add up to 100. Oh, and we don't scare off raccoons with our crazy chatter. 

[There's Not Enough Valtrex in the World: BiP General Discussion]

 

Jen4, the first season of Paradise Hotel is still the gold standard for me, especially season one. It's still the most wonderfully tawdry dating reality show EVER! Is it on DVD, per chance? Temptation Island tried, bless its heart.

I remember the Fox Reality channel would re-run it back in the day... I haven't seen it anywhere on DVD. Sad face.  

 

I'm hoping that BiP lives up to the hype... and I'll happily watch Dylan, Marquel and Marcus walk around shirtless. 

[S10.E10: Andi's Men Tell All]

 

I couldn't sleep last night and found myself on Josh's twitter (I know, for shame!) and re: Andrew RaceGate he actually said something interesting: "Everything that everyone says at Rose Ceremonies is recorded bc everyone has microphones on...Ponder that & then come to ur own conclusions."

Um.. I stand corrected on my thought of the use of the boom mics. ;) 

 

 

I would think that the show probably does not have 26 microphone packs. I would assume it's too costly to have that many people miced (that spelling doesn't look right--miked?) when 10 or so people are going to be sent home that first night anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if they only mic a handful of guys at a time, so we can't be sure that there is audio. I have no doubt they would play it if they had it.

Well, at the point in question of the show, there weren't 26 people there.  

 

Also, they use several cameras for this show, and it wouldn't be inconceivable to have a certain amount of mics synced with each camera, so even at the initial rose ceremony, yes they could have had 26 mics. I wouldn't want to be that editor. Or those editors.  

 

And I agree with the above poster who said that validating either side of this whole Andrew/JJ mess is a fail for everyone involved. 

[S10.E10: Andi's Men Tell All]

 

Does Harrison actually expect us to believe those ultra-sensitive microphones at the rose ceremony did not pick up EXACTLY what was said? Come on now.

My guess is that for the Rose Ceremony they use boom microphones and they're not as ultra-sensitive as the lavs they normally wear during dates and whatnot. Also, I'm with those who think Andrew said "black guys." 

 

I always had a soft spot for Dylan. I've felt his pain, having lost a brother as well (not by exact circumstances but similar enough). It was definitely too soon after everything that happened for him to be on a reality show.  It's nice to see that he seems to be in a better place.  During the season, I told my friend that if he cut his hair and smiled more, he'd be ridiculously hot. Glad to see I was right on that. :)  I hope Bachelor In Paradise doesn't make me change my opinion of him.
