Summer Heats Up on FOX with Two New Unscripted Series in June
Get set for summer with the series premieres of two hot new unscripted series Paradise Hotel and Anything for Love on FOX.
For the first time ever on an unscripted series, viewers will have an ongoing opportunity to become participants on Paradise Hotel, premiering Wednesday, June 18, (7:00-8:00 PM) on FOX.
This innovative and groundbreaking series follows 12 guests (six single men and six single women) who are given the opportunity of a lifetime—to live together in the most exclusive resort ever created. But paradise doesn't last forever…each week the hotel guests will vote off one of their fellow residents to make room for a new guest.
Viewers at home can become the new guests of the hotel by calling a toll-free number for a chance to be a studio contestant. Contestants must win a unique studio game where the studio audience, and ultimately the guests at the hotel, will decide which contestant will be the next guest at Paradise Hotel. The studio winner will literally leave immediately after the show and fly to the resort to appear on the next episode as a
hotel guest, who will be pampered and spoiled beyond his/her wildest dreams at the exotic, sun-drenched Paradise Hotel.
The series will air new episodes on Mondays (8:00-9:00 PM) and Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM). On Monday shows, viewers at home will watch along with the studio audience as every tantalizing moment unfolds at the hotel. On Wednesdays, the in-studio contestants compete to become the newest addition to Paradise Hotel. Meanwhile, at the hotel, it is the goal of every guest to remain in paradise as long as possible. The Monday episode
will premiere June 23 .
Then, how far would you go for the one that you loved? Would you propose to your lover in front of thousands of people? Would you subject yourself to the ultimate rejection and ask your ex-lover to leave his fiancée and return to you? What would you do if you found out your girlfriend had another boyfriend? Hosted by Mark Walberg and Claudia DiFolco, Anything for Love tries to answer all these questions in front of millions
of people when it premieres with back-to-back episodes starting Monday, June 16 (8:00-8:30 PM) and (8:30-9:00 PM). The show will move to its regular time periods, Mondays 7:00-7:30 PM and 7:30-8:00 PM, starting June 23 .
Each week, Anything for Love will focus on the amazing stories of love and heartbreak of its participants. You will see emotional reunions with ex-lovers, extravagant blind dates and elaborate marriage proposals.
Anything for Love is produced by Endemol U.S.A. and is executive produced by Paul Buccieri.
