Temptation Island

Reason for 3 stars.

1 star for being my hate watch program.

1 star for making me laugh.

1 star for knowing how right I am.

The show is total B. S., a joke.

Still waiting for a program with every day people other than models. But even then the show will be ruined by the producers.

If you love watching train wrecks mingling with dumpster fires, this show is for you. There are no redeeming qualities, no merit, no greater message... just the guilty pleasure of seeing ruined souls collide with alcohol and sex in a tornado of schadenfreude!! God I can't wait for the next episode!

Full Disclosure: In brief, this is a reality TV show designed to cause maximum drama, all under the guise of testing the strength of four couples' relationships.

If you're into drama just for the sake of drama, then you'll love this show. However, unlike what's become of the Bachelor and so many other reality TV shows where it's a shameless attention grab for half the people participating, everyone on this show seems to be searching to find something out either about themselves or about their relationship. The contrast between those who succeed in doing this and who fail is what provides the intrigue to this show. The people who are giving this show bad reviews are clearly not seeing the forest for the trees; obviously the show isn't designed to build healthy relationships. The show has never professed to wanting that. The host of the show sometimes seems to be actively trying to create doubt if nothing else. But if you watch this season from start to finish, you'll see things that will make you sick to your stomach, right alongside things that will restore your faith in humanity. I'm gonna knock two stars off because the push for drama by the producers can become obvious sometimes, but it's an otherwise entertaining, very well edited show.

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

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.
