Temptation Island

Why, oh why, would anyone in their right mind take your supposed love to see if they will get tempted by someone else? It's a recipe made for disaster and they already know the answer before going there in reality so why torture yourself? The worst men - they say and make promises and as soon as they get there the majority cheat. All promises out the window. Proves once a cheater always a cheater! Yet one woman who is the best still wants to see him own up to it (the threesome he has there) to her and depending on what he says how it will turn out? What? Run as fast as you can girls - you will be glad you did eventually. The host MW does seem nonjudgmental and empathetic but overall how can this be healthy?

I have never liked reality tv like this but randomly started this show because I needed something I could fall asleep to. This show might seem like another run of the mill trash tv show, but there's a lot of self reflection to be done here. The concept is genius, but no one would sign up to do this-yet they did.

Jealousy, anger, sadness, numbness, exhaustion, excitement... These emotions we have all experienced, yet watching it in this particular situation is eye opening. Men's attachment styles and need to conquer, women's paranoia and need for solidarity-it's right in front of you in a highly digestible form. It's hard to watch at times. Producer motivation aside, this made me think about relationship dynamics and where that stems from.

Why do we stay with people if we aren't happy? What happens when your partner isn't there to hold the other accountable? How do you know if you are fulfilled with your person? How easily do we fold to temptation? These are all questions posed during the show that promote clarity in a relationship. This show is about clarity and self exploration, and has more heart than any other reality TV I have seen.

Before you write this off as another vapid reality show, just give it a chance-I'd be willing to bet you'll gain introspection in relation to modern relationships. Positive or negative, this is not only a battered portrait of new age dating, but of the human condition as a whole.

Putting opinions aside on weather or not people in relationships should participate in this, this show is great!

If you are into shows like love island and too hot to handle than this is perfect for you. Absolute shout out to Mark L. Walberg (not that other Mark) he honestly makes the show. Dr Phil couldn't give the level headed advice that this man gives.

Not too sure why the show doesn't have a better rating seeing as this is about as real as reality TV can get. Definitely ticks all the boxes and keeps the episodes interesting with creative twists. And again shout out to Mark Wahlberg for sure!

I Have never had such low respect for a reality tv show before! My husband and I thought a lot of couples who clearly loved each other would make it out. But NO! We were very wrong. They are clearly trying to break up the couples. I don't want to add spoilers because I want everyone to read this. The creators are absolutely horrible! And they do everything they can to turn couples who truly love each other against each other. Manipulating and warping the truth and hiding EVERYTHING that shows fidelity and loyalty. And i have ZERO respect for this show. Do NOT go onto this show! They will manipulate the truth and then turn you against your loving partner!

It's a great show. I was hooked, and watched intently every episode. It was fun to meet the Couples, and the contestants - And see where that would go, if anywhere.

It was also pretty neat to see the relationship problems, and the way some fell for temptations.

I like that the TV show didn't hold back. They made it easy to fall for temptation, which is more challenging to a couple.

I like that the Couples had the opportunity to watch what their other half was doing, through the TV That Mark would show them.

I like that they added the "Haven", where contestants get to spend time alone.

In the beginning I also guessed who would stay and who would leave the island either alone or with someone else. That was fun too, predicting things.

I got my predictions half right and half wrong

The only couple that I felt were kind of boring and bland was the Asian woman and her bf.

But other than that, 10 out of 10.
