LOS ANGELES - Television personality and reality star
Kristin Cavallari is tapped to host the brand-new PARADISE HOTEL, the
innovative unscripted dating competition series in which sexy singles try to
remain in paradise for as long as possible by pairing up. In the reinvention of
the hit series, viewers will play along at home using social media to try and
influence the action on the show.
The trailblazing series will debut with a special, two-hour
premiere Thursday, May 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, and will air three
nights a week in an “as it happens” format during its five-week run. Following
the Thursday night premiere, the series will air on Mondays (starting May 13 at
9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), Wednesdays (starting May 15 at 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) and,
with LIVE elements, on Thursdays (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
“Kristin grew up on the frontlines of reality television and
is the perfect host to introduce PARADISE HOTEL to a new generation of
viewers,” said Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, FOX
Entertainment. “The show is a fun balance of romantic love, cutthroat
competition and humor, and Kristin’s unique experience, especially with live
television, makes her the best person to navigate the wild, unpredictable
moments.”
“I’m so excited to be hosting PARADISE HOTEL this summer!”
said Cavallari. “This show literally has everything – dating, love triangles,
alliances, competition – and I can’t wait to stir the pot and have a front-row
seat to all the drama!”
The modernized version of the international hit is
executive-produced by SallyAnn Salsano (495 Productions, “Jersey Shore Family
Vacation,” “Jersey Shore,” “The Bachelor”); Becca Walker (“Love Island,” “I’m A
Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!”); James Sunderland (“America’s Got Talent,”
“SafeWord,” “Lip Sync Battle Shorties”); Paul Osborne (“Big Brother,”
“Celebrity Wife Swap,” “Secret Millionaire”); and Celia Taylor (“50 Ways to
Kill Your Mammy,” “A League of Your Own, with James Corden,” “An Idiot Abroad”)
of Mentorn Media, the original creators of the groundbreaking “Paradise Hotel”
format.
PARADISE HOTEL follows a group of singles who are given the
opportunity of a lifetime – to check in to an exclusive tropical resort – and
check out with big money. Immersed in a gorgeous setting, these strangers will
be surrounded by sun, fun, flirtation and romance – all cloaked in a wild
competition. This paradise won’t last forever...it will take strategy to remain
there. Each week, one single will leave the hotel to make room for a brand-new
guest. In a new twist, viewers can play along at home, using social media to
try and influence what happens on screen, including helping to decide who stays
and who goes.
Having first aired on FOX in 2003, PARADISE HOTEL then
became an international hit, produced around the world in more than 18
countries.
