Bad news Paradise Hotel fans.

After just finishing to upload episode # 3 to Dailymotion, I recieved the following email:

Looks like they finally caught up with me over at Dailymotion also.

Unfortunately this means that I will not be able to bring you the rest of the season. As I say on the FAQs page, I have no interest in playing Cat and Mouse with people, it’s a massive waste of my time to cut and upload shows that I know are going to be removed within a matter of weeks. I will keep an eye out on the video upload sites to see if someone else starts to upload it, and if they do I will post it here for you, but I won’t be uploading it myself.

Don’t shoot the messenger, it’s them who don’t want me to upload the show, not me :(

Paradise Hotel 2 – Account suspended.

Oh dear, I did suspect this would happen but was really hoping it wouldn’t. My Youtube account for Paradise Hotel has just been suspended, boooo, how long did that take? Two days?

I will go ahead and upload the first episode to Dailymotion now and see how it goes there, but if the videos are removed again I am afraid that’s that, I won’t be able to bring the season to you. Fingers crossed.

Paradise Hotel 2 – Contestant Commits Suicide

While the return of the reality show Paradise Hotel 2 reminds viewers of the summer show of the same name that aired a few years ago, it will remind others of a contestant that lost his life after the filming.

Nathan Thomas Clutter, one of the contestants that participated on the My Network TV and Fox Reality Channel show, was committed suicide in October by climbing an Alltel cell phone tower and jumping to his death in Amarillo, TX.

Both networks released the following statement on January 7 :

“As Paradise Hotel 2 comes to air, we are saddened by the loss of Nathan Clutter, who passed away on October 12 of last year,” the networks stated in a January 7 statement.

“The cast and crew, as well as Mentorn Productions and the entire Fox Reality Channel and MyNetworkTV families, join Nathan’s loved ones in mourning his loss and we hope that they are able to find some comfort in knowing that he touched everyone he encountered with his thoughtfulness and decency.”

Initial reports were that Nathan, who hails from Danville, IL was killed in a climbing accident, however it was later revealed that just four weeks after the summer taping of Paradise Hotel 2 ended, he climbed the 100 foot phone tower and leapt to his demise, leaving a 6 inch impression in the ground.

According to Clutter’s uncle, he was suffering from a bout of depression and his family wired $400 for him to come home so that he could enter a hospital for treatment. Sadly, that never happened. At the site of his death authorities found his car, with $200, and Mp3 player, and his dog, which was in the back seat, eating and drinking from a supply of food and water Nathan had left behind for him. There was no suicide note.

This is the second time in a year that a reality show contest has committed suicide. Last summer Cheryl Kosewicz killed herself after being eliminated from the reality show Pirate Master.

Paradise Hotel 2 – Episode # 1

Finally, I got my grubby paws on the new season of Paradise Hotel, hurrah :) As I have mentioned previously, I don’t think this will stay on youtube indefinitely unfortunately, I think Fox Reality is one of the production companies that actively gets their shows removed. So don’t delay, watch the episodes as soon as you see them here and please don’t shout at me if they do disappear hehe. Enjoy.
