But if you look at some of the other reality shows about hotels and how they work or who's running them you will see a not-so-startling pattern: reality shows featuring hoteliers and hotels suck.

That may be a harsh statement but let us now present the evidence: Casino, Party @ the Palms With Jenny McCarthy, Inn Love, Welcome to the Parker and Real Housewives of New York City.

Keep on reading for more of the hard evidence.]]> juliana 2008-04-23T17:23:14-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/1/23/234522/523 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/tori_ownerBB.png" class="imgborder"><p>[<b>UPDATE:</b> Tori be <a href="http://intouchweekly.hollywood.com/2008/01/toris_baby_joy.php">pregnant</a> again!]<p> Never mind that the <a href="http://www.chateaularuebandb.com/">website</a> for <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Chateau+La+Rue/local/409"><b>Chateau La Rue</b></a> is still telling guests to make a reservation even though we all know the place was simply a TV set, Tori Spelling and her trophy husband Dean McDermott will be back for a third season of <i>Inn Love</i> on the Oxygen network.<p>The show will be called "Still Inn Love," although it will largely be about Tori and Dean's new business interests since they left the B&amp;B behind at the end of last season.<blockquote><p>Set for eight one hour episodes, this season of Tori &amp; Dean follows the couple as they leave the B&amp;B behind, buy a new house and search for pre-schools juliana 2008-01-24T10:30:01-05:00 33.306833 -117.24593 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/12/30/234425/63 <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Chateau+La+Rue/local/409"><b>People's Choice Awards: Chateau La Rue</b></a><p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/chateau_larue.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p<img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/2007_awards_hc.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Despite being nothing more than a set for a faux-reality TV show that never hosted any actual real guests, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Chateau+La+Rue/local/409"><b>Chateau La Rue</b></a> was the most popular hotel of 2007.<p>Tori Spelling and her trophy husband Dean McDermott got into the B&amp;B business at the start of the year after much hype that Tori Spelling was using her tiny inheritance to set up shop.

Tori Spelling admitted on the last episode of Tori and Dean: Inn Love that their B&B venture, Chateau La Rue was no more.

So she and hubby Dean McDermott have moved onto newer things. Well she has at least. She's been hawking her latest jewelry line from HSN and we think she secretly wants to be on the series of Dancing with the Stars since fellow 90210-ers Ian Ziering and Jennie Garth have done it.

But we're a hotel blog so we really want to know what's happening with the B&B.
