The Block Gets Wild on G4

South Lake Tahoe, CA, January 31, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The Block reality show on the G4 Network is pushing the envelope with the "Vivid Girls" episode. If you have not started watching this snowboarder documentary-style reality show, now's the time.

The Vivid Video room at  The Block Hotel has long been the hotel's most requested signature room. "The Vivid room is popular, no doubt, really popular, but with padded walls, a stripper pole, and enough Vivid videos to feed a small country, it makes sense to me," says Liko Smith, Managing Owner of  The Block Hotels. "Naked Vivid girls, grown men and women getting paddled, just another day at  The Block. You don't want to miss this episode," he finishes.
