It will come out.
Literally speaking.
But when “Paradise hotel” makes a comeback, everything is a little too good to be true.
Don’t worry, it will get worse soon.
The first episode is mostly a warm-up.
Here’s a quick recap of the premiere, quote by quote:
“God put a little extra time into me.” (Hannah Johansson about living with, and exploiting, one’s beauty privilege.)
“Sometimes I think, then I’m very unwise” (Diego Martínez Parra)
“Mirrors and guys are the same, you can’t trust them.” (Amanda Fransson)
”Do-to-do-to-do.” (Mattias Helen)
“It’s like a God, you can’t understand when she comes in.” (Some of the blondes said so.)
The last quote expresses the participants’ worship of the host Rebecca Stella.

Comparing Stella to God is a bit excessive, even for an atheist. She spreads a special atmosphere. A bit as if Marra in Moomin Valley and Cruella De Vil have formed a bond.
Stella’s primary task seems to be to say “Remember that anything can happen at ‘Paradise hotel’” over and over again. And once again, thank you. The feeling that what she says could have been replaced by an AI program never leaves the screen.
It may all sound impoverished. But in the future, the participants will tuck their crotch into a pair of cozy pants and shake their wallet half a centimeter from the face of some poor opponent. Others suck on a toe.

However, it is difficult to call the program’s comeback a rekindling. Reality shows become reality shows after a while. Which is because everyone involved has become too aware of how the concept works. The contestants have honed their roles for years before appearing on the show. They have studied previous years and profiles that some study on the periodic table. As stupid as they sound and are, it feels like they’ve been rehearsing their lines in front of the mirror since high school. Except possibly the old classic ”Do-to-do-to-do”.
It is a slightly fascinated shift of power in favor of the participants. Today, no one can say who is the most foolish in the obvious theater. Is it the participants or the viewers? The program’s PR department or, for that matter, us who write about the program? Calling “Paradise hotel” real is like saying the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” is a documentary. It is a game with clear rules.

For that reason, “Paradise hotel” also cannot recreate the true model of the new season, the boundless vintages of 2013 and 2014 when Samir Badran and Pow made the program a political debate in Almedalen.
An unlikely feat that will hopefully never happen again.
As a soap, “Paradise hotel” is dead and pointless. As a sport, however, the program has its points. The natural continuation would be a fantasy league where the audience can put together their own teams like in the Premier League. That is, recruit players for the positions “The stupid one”, “The bad one”, “The good one”, “The kind one”, “The nicest guy”, “Fyllskalen”, “Sexdaren” and “Juckmästeren”.
Incidentally, the first episode ends with a cliffhanger that says more about “Paradise hotel” than the entire first episode.
An ass.

The Reality of “Paradise Hotel” – A Blend of Entertainment and Manipulation
The popular reality TV show ”Paradise Hotel” has made a comeback, and with it, a wave of drama, catty conflicts, and cringe-worthy moments. But beneath the surface of this supposedly “real” reality show lies a carefully crafted script, designed to entertain and manipulate its audience.
In the first episode, host Rebecca Stella sets the tone for the season, repeating the mantra “Remember that anything can happen at ‘Paradise hotel'” ad nauseam. While Stella’s presence is undeniably charismatic, her lines often come across as rehearsed and lack any real substance. It’s a feeling that’s hard to shake off, especially when the contestants themselves seem to be following a similar script.
The participants on the show have clearly honed their roles over the years, studying previous seasons and profiles like they’re cramming for an exam. Their lines often sound rehearsed, and their behavior is calculated to provoke drama and tension. As one contestant, Mattias Helen, so aptly put it, “Do-to-do-to-do” – a phrase that’s become a laughable meme, but also a telling commentary on the show’s artificial nature.
Despite the show’s obvious manipulation, it’s hard to deny its entertainment value. The contestants’ antics, from sucking on toes to flaunting their beauty privileges, are undeniably captivating. But at what cost? The show’s artificiality raises questions about the nature of reality TV and our own complicity as viewers.
As the show progresses, it’s clear that the contestants are aware of the game they’re playing. They’ve studied the rules, and they’re not afraid to bend them to their advantage. The show’s PR department is also complicit in this charade, presenting a carefully curated image of the contestants that’s often at odds with reality.
“Paradise Hotel” is less a reflection of real life and more a scripted drama, carefully designed to keep us hooked. While it may not be the most high-brow entertainment, it’s undeniably addictive. As one contestant, Hannah Johansson, quipped, “God put a little extra time into me” – a sentiment that could apply to the show itself, which often feels like a guilty pleasure that we can’t help but indulge in.
But is it worth it?
In a world where reality TV shows are a dime a dozen, ”Paradise Hotel” stands out for its sheer audacity and willingness to push the boundaries of good taste. But at what cost? The show’s manipulation and artificiality raise important questions about our own consumption of media and our willingness to suspend our disbelief.
“Paradise Hotel” is a show that’s equal parts fascinating and repulsive, a guilty pleasure that we can’t help but indulge in. But as we watch, let’s not forget to take a step back and examine the show’s true nature – a carefully crafted illusion designed to entertain and manipulate us.

Interestingly, while researching this topic, I stumbled upon a completely unrelated game called ”Propagation: Paradise Hotel” which has received positive reviews from gamers. With its AAA-quality visuals and solid gameplay, it’s a
Sucks on a Toe – Then It Gets Worse: The Return of Paradise Hotel
The popular reality TV show, Paradise Hotel, has made its comeback with Rebecca Stella as the host. The show’s premiere episode has set the stage for what promises to be a drama-filled season, with contestants vying for attention and fame. But as the show progresses, it’s hard not to wonder if the participants are taking it too far.
Sucking on a Toe – The Ultimate Reality TV Stunt
In what can only be described as a bizarre and cringe-worthy moment, one of the contestants was seen sucking on a toe. Yes, you read that right. While it’s unclear what the contestant hoped to achieve with this stunt, it’s clear that they were trying to grab attention and stand out from the rest. But is this what reality TV has been reduced to? Desperate attempts to shock and awe audiences?
The Paradise Hotel Cast: A Mix of Beauty and Brawn
The current season of Paradise Hotel features a diverse cast of contestants, each with their own unique personalities and quirks. From Hannah Johansson, who believes she has been “blessed with beauty privilege,” to Diego Martínez Parra, who admits to being unwise, the contestants are a mix of beauty and brawn. Then there’s Amanda Fransson, who compares mirrors and guys, saying you can’t trust them. And let’s not forget Mattias Helen, who uttered the now-infamous phrase, “Do-to-do-to-do.”
Rebecca Stella: The Host with a Special Atmosphere
Rebecca Stella, the host of Paradise Hotel, has been praised for her unique atmosphere and style. Some have even compared her to God, saying she spreads a special energy that’s hard to ignore. However, it’s worth noting that her primary task seems to be reminding contestants that “anything can happen at Paradise Hotel.” While she’s certainly entertaining, it’s hard not to feel that her role could be replaced by an AI program.
The Shift of Power: From Host to Contestants
In recent years, reality TV shows have become increasingly formulaic, with contestants honing their roles and studying previous seasons to gain an edge. This has led to a shift of power from the host to the contestants, who now seem to be calling the shots. It’s unclear who’s more foolish – the participants, the viewers, or the PR department. One thing’s for sure, though: reality TV has become a form of entertainment that’s hard to look away from.
the return of Paradise Hotel has brought with it a mix of drama, controversy, and cringe-worthy moments. While it’s hard to deny the show’s entertainment value, it’s worth wondering if we’ve reached a point where reality TV has become too formulaic and staged. One thing’s for sure, though: with Rebecca Stella at the helm, Paradise Hotel is sure to be a wild ride.
