The show will probably try to "shock" the guests with another so-called twist about the fact that the newest guest cannot be voted out on the first week. Otherwise, the current 10 people can basically make a pact and just vote out all the newcomers every week.

Catch 21

I havent watched the show yet, any couples had sex yet?

Blaster1

That one girl had sex with the guy that was trashing her and acting like he was disappointed she picked him the first night there. I guess girls just like a**holes.

Patman

That would be Amy and Zack. I like Amy, but Zack is like Joey (from Friends), but without any charm or redeeming qualities.

B.A.

You're killing me w/ that comparison.

I like Amy, too - she's a cutie. Seems like a guy's girl.

Patman

Good grief, this show is plenty unpredictable when it comes to who will get the boot.

What do women see in Zack?

Dave is pretty pathetic. He's complaining about being the "nice guy" and getting dumped by women who go for the hotties, and all the while, he's got the social graces of a rhino in heat.

That whole thing with Charla and her reservations about Dave were actually funny in a shallow pathetic way.

That whole quivering pinkie finger of Toni's when she had to make her choice among 3 guys was so annoying. What a fake drama queen. No one could be like that in real life.

The 2 new women candidates were spicy enough, but that Desiree was probably a little too much woman for all those guys combined. They went with the "safe" choice, like the women *thought* they did with Dave last week.

Red Dog

Somebody needs to shoot me to get me to stop watching this show.

Why did they create this crap when they could have done another Temptation Island. Now there was a reality show that had lots of hot chicks and far better drama.

B.A.

This show does make Temptation Island look Emmy-worthy. You are right - the girls on TI were much, much better than these girls.

Toni is one of the most pathetic and annoying women in reality tv history. She scares the hell out of me.

Red Dog

I don't care what anyone says. TI (especially the 2nd one) was the best dating/romance/relationship reality show ever. In the 2nd one, one couple could not take it and left after 2 episodes. 1 couple survived and 3 couples were broken up by the singles. Great stuff.

B.A.

I completely agree w/ you. Temptation Island is still my favorite. It was one of the first and it is still the best. They need to bring back Mark Wahlberg and do another show soon to show the networks how bad these current crop of shows are. He was one of the best hosts for these shows, too. A lot of them are really lame.

Patman

Who were the folks on TI2? I'm trying to remember if I saw that season of shows.

B.A.

Here are the Couples:

IIRC, Tony and Genevieve are the couple who left the show, then Mark and Kelley replaced them.

Here are the Singles:

Red Dog, I found this in an article about summer reality TV that was written at the end of May.

here's the excerpt:

"Among the planned summer shows that didn't have a premiere date at this writing are Next Action Star (NBC); Big Brother 4 (CBS), another battle of the bickering; Race to the Altar (NBC), with couples competing to win a great wedding; Temptation Island 3 (Fox)."

We may be in luck.

Red Dog

I knew that a TI3 was being planned. FOX even has it on their website, but the show site has not been updated for months, so it made me wonder if they have actually filmed it yet. FOX has already announced their entire summer program schedule and TI3 is nowhere to be found.

B.A.

Oh, my bad - I didn't even know it was being planned. Maybe they will bump it back to the fall or spring - hopefully. (crosses fingers)

Patman

Where do they find these "pretty" but "delusional" people?

I was cracking up when Toni wasn't about to get kiss Dave as passionately as she had the other guys (giving Dave a "I love you like a brother" kiss). Dave's got to understand that he's just not that lovable smart guy he thinks he is. He reeks of desperation, and women smell that on him in spades.

Watching Dave on the show is like watching a remake of "The Last American Virgin". Some of the women can be so mean to the not-so-hot guys. I guess 2-way superficiality is on full display here.

You have to admire Kristin's commitment to these kissing games. I think she made Dave's year...

Zack has the mentality of a 14 year old boy who finally has muscles for the first time, and has no clue what to do about double standards in relating to women (he might care about) in general.

Beau is also in the double standards quagmire as well. It was hilarious to see Alex go off on Beau for his insecurities and his avoidance of truly dealing with his feelings towards Amanda.


Is Amy headed for therapy?

Is Toni headed for Elimidate?

Is Dave headed for unintentional celibacy?

Is Scott headed for the priesthood?

Is Charla headed for the adult film industry?

Is Beau headed for the jealous un-boyfriend meltdown?

Is Zack headed for House of the incredibly self-obsessed?

Is Kavita headed for Black Widow training?

Is Alex headed for Playa season 2?

Is Amanda headed for a stay in the House for the insanely self-absorbed?

Is Krisin headed for Olympia Gardens?

B.A.

Amanda needs to stick up for herself more, the guys crap all over her and she just takes it.

Zack is the one of the biggest retards I have ever seen on one of these shows. What a freaking idiot. Why does Amy put up w/ that? She's so cute and sexy and could do much better.

Charla needs to get off of the crack - and fast. That shot of her in the headband as they picked the one of the two guys for the show scared the crap out of me. How are is she still on the show? And how is Toni still on the show? They need to boot her so she can go join the WWE.

I want to see more Kristin. She hardly get any screen-time and she actually spices things up when she does.

I can't believe I watch this p.o.s. show w/ my wife. It's really bad.

B.A.

Also - the producers of the show need to learn a thing or two about editing. When Scott had to decide between Toni and Kavita, you knew before they returned from the commercial break who he picked, because Toni was in an upcoming scene. They could at least make it appear that a high schooler is not editing this thing.

Red Dog

I noticed the same thing.

The only redeeming quality of this show is that between their "Coming Up's" and "Next week on's," I can watch this show in less than 30 minutes.

Patman

And again, is there an endgame to this modified high school clique of a show?

If you don't force one of the original regulars to get the boot on a regular basis, it's going to be a stale show really really soon.

Red Dog

Judging by the previews for next week, it looks like they are finally getting some hot tail to check in.

Trigger

I don't really watch this show, but the new guy looks kinda like a young John Travolta with a mullet.

Patman

Can't stand Beau's voice, he sounds like a weasel.

I would love to see the look on Toni's face if/when she gets the boot out of Paradise, I've had enough of her faux dramatic reactions to "stressful" situations/choices.

Matt is a playa.

Dave may or may not be a goner.

Zack is a lunkhead through and through.

Amy is running on hormones.

Variable697

whoa, Zack is a total psycho; I hope Toni gets kicked off soon.

B.A.

Zack and Toni have to go and they can't go fast enough. And yes, Beau is a retard to, too.

At least it looks like they did a better job of picking two girls next week.
