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?
I actually loved the show, the drama, fighting, cheating, the ********. I just think maybe they should have used all tipes of people not just the beautiful handsome and sexy. Otherwise great show. It’s even better than Love Island, much better.
There are so many other shows that could have been cancelled!! I was really starting to like this one. I’m sad that it got cancelled. I think that decision should be re thought about for sure!!
Very sad. My husband and I do not watch reality tv ever!! but this show got our attention. And we loved it. Bring back for a second season please!! Nice that it’s different then the Bachlor crap… and all the 50 cop shows ugh
Soo why no reason? There are sooo many other reality shows out there that are, in my opinion, horrible…I really enjoy watching this show. Look forward to it … mYbr another network will pick it up and change it around a little…that’s all it needs
I would love to get another season. Why not hulu? I know I dont watch a lot of things live time so that messes up ratings right?
My wife and I are saddened by this information. We have been binge watching this on Hulu. We need Paradise Hotel in our lives!
Disappointed to see the show is being cut short. Would love to see a season 2
I vote they make a season two
It’s hard to find a good reality show my husband likes. We both love this one! Please don’t cancel!
Please do not remove this show !!
Love this show…loved the first one too dont cancel!!! So mad they cut shows out!!
this show is good! And I loved the original. Don’t cancel
I love this show,
Please
Don’t cancel, I loved first one too.
I love the show and I loved the first one. Please don’t cancel.
This show is brilliant! This is the Game of Thrones of reality dating shows ! The unpredictably is geniusly crafted, not to mention the blunt British narrator that sets this show apart from others. Everyone is sick of the Bachelor, FOX should have put more into promotional advertising and audience research and it would have easily outranked it’s prime time competitors.
