Hosted by Kristin Cavallari, the show will join Fox's roster of super popular reality shows like 'Hell's Kitchen,' 'So You Think You Can Dance,' and 'The X Factor'

There's a new reality show in town and even though it might seem like the perfect setting for some summer fun, the paradise won't last forever. Called 'Paradise Hotel,' the Fox show takes onboard a group of singles who have to survive in a tropical resort amidst romance and drama, with each week seeing the elimination of an existing resident by popular vote, as new guests keep getting added simultaneously.

Hosted by Kristin Cavallari, the show will join a slew of other very hit and super popular reality shows by Fox, such as 'Hell's Kitchen,' 'So You Think You Can Dance,' and The X Factor'.

Release date  

The show premieres on Thursday, May 9, at 8/7C on the network.

Plot

According to the official synopsis of the show, as provided by the network, 'Paradise Hotel' will follow a group of singles going through what they call an opportunity of a lifetime.

The singles get to check into an exclusive tropical resort and as they spend their days surrounded by sun, fun, and romance, there will be a wild competition on in the background. The participants will have to strategize their stay to ensure they get to reside in the resort until the end of the show, following which - whoever emerges the winner - will check out with the handsome prize money.

Each week, these singles will vote off one of their fellow residents to make room for a new guest. But the biggest perk, of course, is the twist in the tale, that will allow viewers to play along at home, using social media to try and influence what happens on screen, including helping to decide who stays and who goes!

Host

The host for the debut season of 'Paradise Hotel' will be Kristin Cavallari - the reality star turned frontwoman of fashion and lifestyle brand Uncommon James, who is also the star of her very own reality show 'Very Cavallari.' Cavallari rose to fame after being cast in the reality television series 'Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County', which documented the lives of her and her friends and originally aired on MTV from September 28, 2004 until November 15, 2006.
