Paradise Hotel is an American reality television program that aired on Fox in 2003, MyNetworkTV and Fox Reality Channel in 2008. In the show, a group of single people live in a luxurious hotel resort, competing to see who can stay in the hotel the longest. Periodically, someone is removed from the show, and others are brought in to replace them. Each week couples pair off and must share a hotel room together. One person is left over, and he or she has to leave. That person is then replaced the following episode. The format was created by Mentorn, a UK production company, which has produced various versions of the show around the world.

The first season of Paradise Hotel aired on Fox from June 18, 2003 to October 1, 2003 with thirty episodes and was hosted by Amanda Byram. Paradise Hotel became a summer hit in the US, and a similar show called Forever Eden was produced the following year, but didn't achieve the level of success that Paradise Hotel had received. A second season followed four years later on MyNetworkTV and Fox Reality Channel, both of which are sister networks to Fox. It was speculated[who?] that Fox didn't bring Paradise Hotel back for a second season was due to the difficulty of selling advertising spots during the show.
The winners of the first season were Charla Pihlstrom and Keith Cuda with Dave Kerpen and Tara Gerard finishing as the runner-ups. In the finale Charla and Keith won $250,000, but had to decide whether to split it with their partners. Keith decided to split it with Tara Gerard while Charla chose to keep the money for herself and Dave received nothing.
