Temptation Island

First, I LOVE reality TV with some brain (can't stand "Real Housewives," but seen 30 seasons of "Survivor").

Unlike Love Island, Temptation Island actually has brain. Whoever casts this show is the silent hero. These aren't a bunch of vacuous losers just trying to get followers on social media. I'm sure some are, but, for the most part, these are real people with real relationships being "tempted" by people that are at least real enough (I think there's a big spectrum of quality on the temptation side, which is exactly how it should be).

Also unlike Love Island, there's no immediate incentive for the people to lie in their solo camera time (Love Island's viewers vote, so the people are obviously just feigning whatever they think the viewers want to hear to stay on the island-- it's annoyingly fake).

The Host! To Love Island's credit, the guy narrating is actually funny, which is extremely rare for Network TV, but TI's Host, Mark Walberg (no, not the one and only pimp daddy Marky Mark) is EXCEPTIONAL. Total pro. He knows exactly when, and how, to interject. Adds class to a show that could easily go in the direction of some brainless Jerry Springer trash. The producers manage to keep the show respectable, which is important for attracting the quality people I'm only interested in watching.

I didn't give it a 10 because S1 had some cheesy music that they did NOT repeat in S2. Also, there was a brief time in S1 where I felt unengaged (the slowest time in both seasons is their 30 second videos). And in S2, one of the coupled ppl made it clear they weren't interested in someone JUST because that person wasn't interested in them, and I was pretty disappointed their partner wasn't shown at the bonfire that they were the "backup."

Highly recommend. 👍👍

Not a bad show but definitely not a great show. Provides a good amount of entertainment for 45 minutes. The characters can get annoying/downright stupid. All things considered if you're into drama shows like this then you will enjoy it.

I recently streamed both seasons of this show and while I can say I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the contestants in the first season develop their relationships deeper through the show, the second season was a complete chore to watch as nobody really seemed to have that same emotional growth or evoke as much sympathy for their evidently difficult decisions. I wanted to watch another season of "Temptation Island", not a season of Adultery Island, and I lost complete respect for everyone on the second season of the show very quickly, and the casting department should definitely be scrutinized for picking such terrible contestants. Ashley H. was the only person seemingly growing from the experience but I was hugely disappointed by the outcome of her experiences as described in the Reunion.

I really enjoyed the first season so I would be interested in watching a third as long as there are serious casting improvements. I would prefer to see more intelligent people capable of self reflection, with stronger relationships, and stronger moral values be truly tested by the conditions of this show rather than some unintelligent and emotionally weak imbeciles run around having threesomes on a free vacation and pretending to be remorseful.

I find this show very entertaining and look forward to it each week

The idea seems fairly well, throw single Girls to an engaged men and look whats Happening. But please don't call it "Prove how strong your love is!" It is just destined to fail. It is just in the nature of People, especially when Girls throw themself half naked and whillingly onto guys. Same goes for the women, talking about their relationship with single guys who act as if the understand, listen closely, pour them more wine and giving them a friendly shoulder massage. I mean the director of the Show went so far to even invite Striptease Dancer as the Singles. This is just freshly made Drama. Nevertheless is quite some entertaining Drama. But really - no one in their right mind would choose this way to proove the endless love.
