Temptation Island

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 dont usually like reality shows. I accidentally got sucked into this one when the wife had it on. But to honest, I like the concept. Season 1 was good. Interesting couples, and all their stories were good. Season 2 was by far the best. Hard not to root for Kate. Season 3 was such an incredible disappointment. Boring boring boring. Bland couples that you cannot possibly become invested in. Boring singles. A sexy scene or two but thats it. Hope Season 4 is better.

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.

The show revolves around four couples at a crossroad and this could have been as interesting as watching a vegetable grow in your garden. However, I find that the couples they hired really made for an entertaining show. They were diverse in maturity level, they were diverse personalities and had a certain level of commitment and goals in mind. Also, the fact that the men as well as the women engage in conversation and we can see how they have each other's back while processing their own thoughts is nice to see. They are having real conversations. One whose honesty I can appreciate is Nicole. Nicole actually adds a difference to the show considering that she acknowledges and was not afraid to say that her love in the relationship is not as deep as the other girls. That is very difficult thing to say, and yet she is not afraid to tell it like it is. Shari is another interesting character in the show, because at the beginning she has you thinking if she is so closed minded will she get to open up and grow? She certainly surprises us as the show continues to grow and we can begin to understand her because Javen is the only man that she has ever known. I also can appreciate the fact that the cast has been very engaging in social media and that also helps shed some perspective into what we are watching. They've done a great job this season with the casting of the couples and singles, I hope that they can have another great season come season 2. Definitely, the success will be in the casting because at this point social media is what fuels the show as their cast is very likable and relatable. The show should look in the future to work a little more on their editing. Nonetheless enjoyable, entertaining, do recommend watching.
