What is Temptation Island ?
Temptation Island is a unscripted series in which four unmarried
couples with no children travel to the Caribbean to test and explore the strength of their relationship.
Once on the island, the couples are introduced to eligible 26 singles and then separated from their partners
for two weeks. Over this period, each couple will get the opportunity to answer questions about themselves and
one another, and find out if what they think they want is actually what they do want.
They are on camera 24/7. After their "dates" they have a meeting and
take turns on deciding if they want to see unedited highlights from their mates
date. First choice went to the men, they were asked if they want to view what
the women did. If you decided to see the tape your mate has no choice and has to
view yours if you decide not to see it, neither will your mate. Your ONLY contact
with your significant other is a 1 minute video tape that you can make for them
after the meeting.
There have been many organizations against
this show. But lets face it, its our life and we decide what to do with it.
Those people made the decision to go on the show knowing well what it was all
about. No one forced anyone to do anything against their will. Also it is
not the first show that explores strengths of a relationship. Take for example
change of heart its a show where a couple is set up an blind dates and have a
camera crew follow them. At the end of the show the couple must make a decision,
between their mate or the date. Several people admitted to having sex on the
date and many couples broke up. Unlike Temptation Island, Change Of Heart has no
rules against kids. If you don't like it simply don't watch it, no one is
forcing you. But don't tell others what to do.
My personal opinion on the ending, as
I posted in many clubs
I really don't know what to think
!!! My first reaction was this show must be scripted ! I mean come on
after all the shit that happened no one broke up ? Plus would an average
individual keep their partner in suspense like ( Shannon, Kaya, and
Billy ) did ? Up to the last sentence they said even their partners
assumed they were getting dumped. A little too much drama for an "unscripted"
show.
Plus Fox did some major editing here, where did Shannon comment of
" I fell in love with someone else" go ? We all seen the
comment in the previews ! Maybe this show was all scripted with amateur
actors and Fox just wanted to see what kind of reaction a show like this
would get, before they make a "real" show.
However if it wasn't I am happy for the couples, not all of them
resisted the temptation but they realized that the relationship they
have is more important. After all for us it was 6 weeks (well 7 since we
had a week off) that we watched these people be on the island. For them
it was only 2 weeks. I would say it's kind of hard to ruin a 1 1/2 - 5
1/2 year relationship in two weeks, especially knowing you are on camera
all this time and the singles are PAID to be with you.
I also think that the couples have more trouble to come, after they
reunited they were happy, they missed each other and were filled joy
that the other picked them. What will happen if they do watch the show
and see how their mate REALLY acted and what they did ?
If Shannon decides to watch the show she will see Andy lied about his
time on the show, Andy will see just how close her and Tom really got.
Valerie will see what Kaya meant by "two connections" and well
Kaya will see ........ nothing. Billy will see that maybe that intimate
moment Mandy had was with Jon and not her first date Johnny like he
probably assumed and Mandy will hear and see all Billy had to say about
his "date".
But I do wish them luck, its nice to see love succeed for now anyway.
I know I am kind of contradicting myself here but that just because I am
really, shocked and confused with the ending.
Note From WebMaster.
We tried very hard to bring you up to
date information about the show and the people on the show. We did a lot of
research including buying magazines that otherwise we would not be interested
in. As fans we did it for the fans. However we just got an e-mail from someone
claiming to be from the US Weekly magazine threatening legal actions for using
pictures that we used out of a magazine we PURCHASED ! As you all know all "fan web sites" use
information including pictures from magazines. Without that resource we would
not exist. Its not like an average individual will get to go and do an interview
with the cast or be allowed to take photos of them. We support copyright laws,
however what is this world coming to when you can use pictures you PAID
for. If you ask me its sad that a big corporation such as US Weekly would go
after a small web site like us. We do not make any money for making this site.
Our only satisfaction for doing it, is the kind words of all the fans we get in
e-mails and guest book. We will continue to bring you information on the
show. However, we had to take down all the pictures and quotes from the US
Weekly magazine. We apologize to all the fans overseas who are unable to get the
get magazine and read the information for themselves. If you want to e-mail
them, their e-mail address is provided in the "news and gossip"
section of the site.
