Temptation Island

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.

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.

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!

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.
