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.
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.
Since the long awaited Paradise Hotel season 2 episode 1 aired just under two days ago I have already had several people asking me where the heck it is, you guys are really desperate to see it I know…I know because I am also! Unfortunately I am reliant on other people to make the show available online, as I am unable to cap it myself - I had assumed the show would be available like most are, within a matter of hours of it airing - but for whatever reason it has not yet surfaced. I am sure it will, once people realise there’s a lot of people wanting to see it, but unfortunately I cannot give you any estimation as to when that will be…I, like you, just have to sit and play the waiting game on this one.
Rest assured I am checking several sources several times a day and as soon as I do have it and will get it out
Big Brother 9 (premieres Tuesday, February 12 at 9PM ET/PT on CBS)
Thanks to the writers strike, this long-running CBS reality series will — for the first time ever — air a non-summer edition. The show will once again air thrice weekly, and since it’s making Big Brother history by being broadcast in the spring, the show’s producers are promising it will be different and stand-out from any previous installment. Also expect a heated swimming pool and any contrived scenario that might maximize bikini use during the “chilly” Los Angeles winter.
Survivor 16 (premieres Thursday, February 7 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS)
Although CBS still isn’t confirming that Survivor’s next edition will feature another group of returning “all-stars” castaways, it sure does seem to be shaping up that way — especially when you consider the lame Survivor 16 title CBS has initially given the show.
Paradise Hotel 2 (premieres Monday, February 4 at 9PM ET/PT on MyNetworkTV, and with a TV-MA version at 1AM ET on Fox Reality Channel)
This sleazy Big Brother-like reality series is back after more than four years off the air, featuring a mix of 11 male and female singles living, playing and hooking-up with one another in a secluded resort for the chance to win a cash prize. Whether or not the participants’ experiences can be considered “paradise” remains to be seen, however home viewers following their exploits should find it entertaining.
American Idol (premieres on Tuesday, January 15 and Wednesday, January 16, with both two-hour broadcasts beginning at 8PM ET/PT on Fox)
Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson have gushed that the seventh-season of this Fox mega-hit will include some of the best talent ever to grace the Idol stage — and no, that doesn’t mean Fox has decided to replace Ryan Seacrest — although if the strike doesn’t end by the time the show’s semifinals begin, viewers will presumably get to see how charming and funny he really is without the aid of writers. (For the record, Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron seemed to handle it just fine.)
The Biggest Loser 5 (premieres Tuesday, January 1 at 8PM ET/PT on NBC)
So much for building anticipation, as NBC will debut the fifth season of this weight-loss reality series exactly two weeks following its fourth-season finale. Contestants trying to shed the pounds will be competing while paired in teams with somebody they have a pre-existing relationship with — and they’ll have to do so without former Red Team trainer Kim Lyons — who replaced Jillian Michaels prior to the third season only to be replaced by Michaels prior to the fifth season.
