There seems to be big trouble in paradise. After four airings, FOX has decided to pull the Paradise Hotel TV show from the network’s Monday and Wednesday night timeslots. The series will continue to air on Thursday nights and it appears that episodes are being condensed so that the season will still wrap on June 6th.
A FOX dating competition series, Paradise Hotel follows a bunch of sexy single people to a tropical getaway resort. They’re surrounded by sun and fun but they have to pair up and thrive in a wild competition to stay in the game and hope to win a cash prize. Each week, one contestant must leave the hotel to make room for a new guest. Home viewers get to play along and influence the game via social media. Kristin Cavallari hosts the series.
The four aired episodes of the first season of Paradise Hotel on FOX have averaged a disappointing 0.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.20 million viewers.
For the next two weeks (May 20th and May 27th), FOX is filling the Mondays at 9:00 PM timeslot with reruns of 9-1-1. On the following Monday (June 3rd), the network will be launching the 16th season of So You Think You Can Dance. The summer staple had been set to debut a week later, on June 10th.
On May 22nd, May 29th, and June 5th, the now-vacant Wednesdays at 9:00 PM timeslots will be filled with reruns of Gordon Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back.
While FOX hasn’t issued any sort of official decree, it seems sure that the revival of Paradise Hotel has been cancelled. Two other incarnations of this reality series aired in 2003 and 2008. They only lasted one season apiece before being cancelled and it appears this one won’t be any different.
What do you think? Did you like this incarnation of Paradise Hotel on FOX? Would you like to see it return for a second season? Should it be cancelled?
Omg I love this show! I hope it comes back for season 2! Hopefully they’re checking the demographics of people who stream the show or record it vs. Watching it live, because everyone I’ve talked to also loves this show. So it seems quite popular to me!
This show is great they should not cancel has a lot of twist and turns a lot better then the bachelor
Please don’t cancel. I am loving this show.
Don’t cancel! I’m loving this season.
Don’t cancel….I love this season!
Really like paradise hotel. I like that it comes shows on Thursday. Entertaining show. Better than the bachelorette right now.
I love this show. Please don’t cancel it! I was so happy to have it return.
I love this show please don’t cancel
I love Paradise Hotel! I watch it on Hulu. Please don’t cancel it!
Are these networks keeping statistics on how many viewers stream? The majority of the population now streams and looking at rating during air time doesn’t give a true picture of how much of the population is watching the show.
I do not like reality tv shows but am addicted to paradise hotel! I am the biggest fan ! Please do not cancel and extend the air dates for more episodes! Dont vote Ro off she is way to real.
I love Paradise Hotel! I wasn’t expecting me to like the show because I’ve never been into reality shows, but this one I loved. I wanted to see an ending. If you don’t want to air it live on TV, the should continue to play it on Hulu. That’s where I’ve been watching it since I don’t have a lot of time to watch it! I’m excited to have my summer show to look forward to since Game of Thrones is over!!
I absolutely love Paradise Hotel and looked forward to it on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s! I’m very upset to hear this news!
I love paradise hotel! It should not be taken off the air! I’m very upset reading this! Very good show and intense!
I watched the previous 2 seasons and was excited to see it return. I have been checking each day for the missing 2 episodes from last Monday and Wednesday and was so confused by Thursdays episode. Then I came looking for last night’s episode and when I didn’t find it I decided to google the show and found this article. Now I know it was condensed. I enjoy this show and will definitely be disappointed to see them cancel it and we don’t get to see who wins. I am SHOCKED to see they’d rather air RERUNS than this show.… Read more »
