Plot
Paradise Hotel 2 began with eleven guests moving into the hotel. Six were women and five were men. In episode 14, the final houseguests were put into final roommate pairs of Krista & Mike, Tidisha & Ryan, and Stephanie & Zack. In episode 15, the power couple, Tidisha & Ryan chose Krista & Mike, to leave, leaving Tidisha & Ryan and & Stephanie & Zack in the final two. The last seven guests voted off were tasked with choosing the winning couple. Stephanie and Zack were chosen. But Tidisha and Ryan were given the responsibility of choosing only one member of the winning couple to claim the "ultimate prize". Zack, the oldest participant, was chosen and was presented with a US $200,000 prize - with a twist. He was allowed to share his prize with up to two other contestants. He chose to share $20,000 with Tidisha and $90,000 with Stephanie, keeping the remaining $90,000 for himself.Aaron
