Be sure to get your shots

Somebody take Toni Ferrari out of mothballs, because they're bringing back "Paradise Hotel."

Fox Reality and MyNetworkTV are teaming up for another trip to "Paradise Hotel," the reality series/Petri dish for greed and sexually transmitted disease that ran on FOX back in the glorious summer of 2003.

If y'all recall (or if you've tried to forget), "Paradise Hotel" plunked a group of strangers in the middle of a remote luxury resort, where they were paired off to sleep together. Whenever a contestant was voted off the show, a new stranger was added to the mix, at least until they stopped replacing people.

You may not remember that the final two pairs on the initial season of "Paradise Hotel" were Charla and Dave and Keith and Tara. Both Charla and Keith won $250,000 with the option of sharing the prize with their alliance-mates. Charla kept the money for herself. Keith shared. Good for him.

Amanda Byram hosted the one and only season, which featured reality TV favorite Ferrari, an excitable veteran of the equally classy "Love Cruise."

FOX contemplated bringing "Paradise Hotel" back in subsequent summers -- it was cheap, could play multiple times a week and brought in a decent audience of predominantly young female viewers -- but instead tried to mix up the formula with something called "Forever Eden." Nobody watched that show, nor have any of the contestants been heard from since.

According to media reports, Fox Reality and MyNetworkTV, which strapped its plan to air telenovelas in favorite of reality, hope to have the new "Paradise Hotel" ready to premiere in early 2008.
