just a lot of kissing -

the camera caught Shannon writing letters to her boyfriend, and then the producer??? had mark go to the latrines and try to find their hiding places. which were underneath the sink, inside the cabinet, on the pipes. they were from Shannon though. I dont think the guy ever left any. all he did was take them out and read them.

one of the girls came back from her date and brought her date to her room, was making out, and another girl saw, went and got rossi and showed him too.

G. Noel Gross 01-25-02 12:41 PM

Yeah, they made such a big deal out the letter writing, but then didn't confront them about it. Grrrr.

immortal_zeus 01-25-02 01:06 PM

Geez, I HATE Shannon....freakin' whiny biatch. :rolleyes: They should have kicked her ass for leaving letters for John.

Tommy looked like he was about to kill somebody after he saw Nikkole and Tommy NY (although I don't think he could tell it was Tommy NY) making out.

Edmundo was funny..."nobody likes to see their chick getting played" or something like that. :lol:

Catherine has some issues....she can't seem to decide between Brian and Rossi....I kinda feel bad for Rossi (-eek- I can't believe I said that), but I have a feeling she's going to take Brian on her final date.

It was good to see Ali FINALLY go on a date. I think that was his first date ever (on the show). I was beginning to feel sorry for the guy.

Temptation Island 2 - 1/31
 
Tommy had the surprises last night. First it looks he got freaky with Kristen. Then he pulled a total surprise and picked Katie for his final date. I was thrilled with that since I think she was the hottest of the single girls and she has had little to no airtime. It will be interesting to see how that goes since they have not gone out before.

immortal_zeus 02-01-02 11:59 AM

No, I'm pretty sure Tommy's gone out with Katie before...besides, I'm pretty sure that you have to have gone out with the person before to pick them for your final date.

Who do you guys think the girls will pick for their final dates?

<b>Catherine</b> - my gut tells me that she'll go with Rossi because Brian pissed her off a little bit...but I still think she'll go with Brian because she's lusts after him.

<b>Nikkole</b> - no brainer. Tommy NY.

<b>Kelley</b> - hopefully she'll pick Ali...cause that other dude...the marketing guy....he's a frickin' player. Besides, Ali has pretty much been "the fun guy" who never got to go on any dates and just had fun...until Kelly finally went out with him.

<b><strike>Biatch</strike>Shannon</b> - who cares! Frickin' whiny biatch! :p Nah, I think she'll pick Kevin....the windsurfer dude.

Katie never went out with Tommy. Acc'd to the episode guides on fox.com, she has only been on one official date and that was with Tony, who isn't even there anymore. Remember how she had 2 blocks against her in the beginning. I think they got rid of that having-to-date-before requirement (especially since they brought back singles who were dismissed from the start).

I agree with you about the ladies' picks, especially Shannon. :D I would love to be in Ali's shoes. Kelly is a hottie and judging from the previews, Ali must go pretty far with her.

Oh, okay. My bad. :o I remembered that she had gone out on a date, but I couldn't remember who with...so I just assumed it was Tommy since he picked her for his final date.

Re: Outcome
Spoiler:
One of teh couples you see in the Girl's Choice/Male parings becomes a new couple. She leaves her BF that she went to the island with. They live in SoCal and were on the Radio. She said she had a "New BF" and couldn't say who it was. I think it was Shannon, but I could be wrong...I was waking up to it and may have missed the right girl's name since I don't watch the show...

Red Dog 02-08-02 11:47 AM

Temptation Island - 2/7
 
Interesting episode. Looks like Tommy just wants this thing to end so he can get to the final talk with Nikkole.

I am still drooling over Kelley in that yellow bikini. Wow!

In the preview for the season finale, they said that there will be a break-up. Who is your money on? Edmundo and Kat seem to be favorite to break-up, but I'll go with the dark horse: Kelley and Mark.

Patman 02-08-02 12:40 PM

Damn, forgot to watch my weekly dose of T-n-A again!

Applejack 02-08-02 08:52 PM

I also think that Edmundo and Catherine are the obvious choice. Kelly and Mark are the darkhorse though.

A big reason that I don't think it will be Kelly and Mark though is because they live together. Maybe if they didn't live together, but the effect of a breakup probably aren't worth it.

I tried to get into this season, but it wasn't as good as last season. They seemed to spend an awful lot of time at the girl's camp, and they were too nonchalant about cheating.

Tommy_Harn 02-08-02 11:12 PM

After watching the 1st T.I., its obvious that most of these couples aren't too bothered by their significant other's escapades (as long as they get to have some of their own). I mean, explain to me how Shannon (from the first season) was in love with her final date, yet turns around and excepts a marriage proposal from her boyfriend the next day. After everything that went on in the first season, and nobody broke up. Just doesn't add up.

IMO, it will be Tommy and Nikkole who split up. Catherine and Edmundo are both complete morons, and thus perfect for each other. They probably realize this, so they'll probably survive.

As for the other two couples, they'll probaly stay together too.

Temptation Island 2 (2/14/02 - SEASON FINALE)
 
I correctly predicted who the girls would pick for their final dates. :D

Anyway, the season finale is tonight....be sure to tune in. What great Valentine's Day programming. :lol:

Spoiler from last week's preview:
Spoiler:
One couple will break up tonight. My money is on Tommy and Nikkole.


http://www.ameritech.net/users/dvdtalk/rome.gif

Red Dog 02-14-02 04:00 PM

My money is on Kat and Edmundo with Mark & Kelley being the dark horse. The way Tommy behaved and talked last week makes me believe he and Nikkole will stay together.

Spoiler:
I agree about Tommy....but I don't think Nikkole will want to stay in the relationship...despite Tommy's pleading. She really fell for Tommy NY....they were making out throughout the entire last episode! Plus, she said he's the "sexiest man alive"...whatever that's worth. I think she loves Tommy...but Tommy NY has shown her what she's been missing out on.

As for Catherine and Edmundo...yeah, that's a definite possibility. I think Edmundo will learn to appreciate Catherine more, though. "Seeing [his] chick get worked over by some guy" really got to him, I think.

JMLEWIS1 02-15-02 01:46 AM

I really liked this episode...

Spoiler:
especially the fact that they gave updates at the end. I though that was pretty funny about katherine and edmundo breaking up later that night and Nikole moving back to Chicago after two month in LA. I was pretty surprised that Kelly and Mark broke up, I felt sorry for the guy, but oh well...she kind of left me with the impression that she came on the show to latch onto someone to get out of tampa, but anyway...good stuff :)

Red Dog 02-15-02 09:25 AM

It didn't look good for my prediction after the bonfire, but I nailed it dead on when they had the updates.

I could not believe Edmundo's speech. He basically said that he made a connection and could explore it but he was willing to stay together if Kat wanted to. Then she actually went along with it...at first. -rolleyes-

As I said before, Kelley leaving Mark doesn't surprise me. She had been saying that she wished that they had another week on the island.

Nikkole and Tommy's post-bonfire discussion was a riot. I was laughing my a$$ off.

Great show. I certainly hope there is a TI3 with at least equally hot chicks.

immortal_zeus 02-15-02 11:21 AM

Well, I was kinda surprised...

<b>Kelley & Mark</b> - Wow, that was kind of surprising. I felt bad for Mark...that was kind of funny how he just got up and walked away after she made her decision. I can understand him being upset, though.

<b>John & Shannon</b> - No surprise there. Everybody knew they would stay together....although I was secretly hoping that John would dump that whiny biatch.

<b>Catherine & Edmundo</b> - Dude, Edmundo has some brass ones. His speech at the end totally sucked. I thought for sure that he would realize that he's been taking Catherine for granted...but then he goes and tells her that he wants to explore being with Linda...but he'll stay with Catherine if she wants! -rolleyes- Damn! I thought his speech would affect her decision...and I thought she was going to dump him....and I was really surprised when she said that she'd stay with him. It's funny that they said they broke up later that night. :lol: I think they're both better off for it.

<b>Tommy & Nikkole</b> - I was kinda surprised here, too. I thought for sure that Tommy would grovel and tell Nikkole how much he loved her and how he wanted to be with her because I thought seeing those videos of her making out with Tommy NY would make him jealous and realize what he had in Nikkole. I was surprised when he said he didn't think they were good together. Nikkole, on the other hand....I expected her to totally not want to be with Tommy...I really expected her to want to pursue Tommy NY...I'm surprised that she moved from Chicago to LA for 2 months...I would've figured she would have gone to NY instead. And now they're back in Chicago living together!?!?! WTF!?!?! Man, those two really don't seem like a good match....because it seems like Tommy totally takes Nikkole for granted. Oh well.

Good call!

Edmundo's in some fantasy world. I have no idea what he was trying to get away with in that speech, but the fact that it apparently did not sink into that that thick skull of Catherine's was embarrassing!


Nikkole and Tommy's post-bonfire discussion was a riot. I was laughing my a$$ off.
Their speeches struck me as the most mature. They're right - they're not good with each other. Of course, that naturally means they have to completely ignore it.

Doubt it. Weren't the ratings crappy?

What the heck else is FOX going to put on? Whatever they put on will get crushed by CSI anyway.

TI-2 was so much better than TI-1. That's probably why ratings were bad - people didn't like the first one because it was a snore-fest.

I don't know - Glutton Bowl II? :) Or whatever they're replacing Family Guy with.

New Temptation Island on Life network.
 
Tonight it looks like the life network is airing Temptation Island. Anyone know any details? Those pictured aren't from any I've seen.

Red Dog 01-28-03 01:27 PM

According to their website, this is the UK edition.

The 1st Temp Island on FOX was kind of lame. The 2nd one was really good - lots of hot chicks and if I remember correctly, 3 of the couples ended up breaking up. Unfortunatley, because the 1st one was so lame, the 2nd one never got good ratings. Plus it didn't help that it was going up against CSI and Will & Grace.

I would like to check this out but unfortunately, it doesn't look like I get the Life Network on my digital cable system.

Temptation Island 3 premieres Thursday, Aug 28 on FOX! (some spoilers inside)
 
From fox.com:


GIVE INTO TEMPTATION A THIRD TIME WHEN
‘TEMPTATION ISLAND’ PREMIERES
THURSDAY, AUG. 28, ON FOX

Summer may be nearing its end, but Thursday nights are about to get hotter as the provocative and dramatic unscripted series TEMPTATION ISLAND premieres Thursday, Aug. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Television personality Mark Walberg returns to host the third installment of this one-hour series chronicling the relationships of four couples seeking to challenge the strength of their love and trust on TEMPTATION ISLAND.

The four couples embarking on this journey are:
• Anthony, a sales manager, and Stephanie, a hairstylist/model, from Chicago, IL. Dating three years.
• Eric, a caterer, and Kristin, a student, from Farmville, VA. Dating three and one half years.
• Michael, a bartender/model, and Melissa, a promoter/model/former Miss New York, from Long Island, NY. Dating two years.
• Jason, a massage therapist, and Kara, a receptionist, from Las Vegas, NV. Dating one year.

In the tropical Caribbean paradise of the Bay Islands off the Central American Coast, these four couples from across the United States are joined in their island adventure by 28 eligible singles, 14 male and 14 female. Early on, the couples are separated and forbidden from speaking to one another until the final day of their stay, giving the fantasy singles an opportunity to spend time with each member of the couples.

During the series, each partner will have the opportunity to choose dream dates from the pool of 28 eligible singles and jet off on a series of romantic rendezvous throughout the island and on the mainland. During their stay, the couples are seeking answers to questions about themselves and their partners, and to find out what they think they want is actually what they do want. New loves will spark, some loves will rekindle, bonds will be tested and hearts may be broken -- all in the name of TEMPTATION.

fumanstan 08-04-03 03:06 PM

Cool :) I've actually watched both temptation islands with my housemates in college and it was good fun talking about whose hot and whose going to break up. Too bad i transferred schools :(

shanester 08-04-03 03:11 PM

:up: I love this show too..Wait a go FOX!!!..Bring on the sleeze!!

Jeremy517 08-04-03 03:15 PM

They should have a Temptation Island that only has couples that got together on reality shows.

B.A. 08-04-03 04:30 PM

Hallelujah!!! It's official and it's been a long-time coming.

I can't wait for this show - looks like they have another massage therapist on board - too bad it's not a woman. :(

You know Fox won't disappoint w/ this one.

Red Dog 08-05-03 09:35 AM

Acc'd to zap2it.com, it will be an 8-episode run ending in early October and will probably have some back-to-back episodes.

I hope it does well before CSI and W&G start their new seasons in late September.

Red Dog 08-28-03 08:48 AM

Bump for season premiere tonight!

According to Television Week, a trade publication, TI 3 will be a 6-episode run that ends right before the baseball playoffs.

B.A. 08-28-03 12:51 PM

Note to self: don't forget to tape this before you go to Busch Stadium tonight!

I'm so happy to see that a good reality dating show is back on the air.
