It looks like she rejects one of the guys for the final date (I'm guessing Eric) because she probably thinks she made some sort of connection to Michael.

IMO it was a pretty weak season for Temptation Island. Couldn't touch the first two, or even Paradise Hotel for that matter. Jason was my favorite character on the guys side, I kept waiting for him to flip out and break something but sadly he seemed to mature as the show went on. On the girl side, I found Stephanie quite nice to look at :)

I liked both those shows

Any chance of either of them returning >?

The third TI absolutely tanked in the ratings. I was surprised that they never did a 2nd PH because the first one actually did pretty well. PH was the epitome of trash TV - I don't think I had ever felt so ashamed watching something. ;)

The new FOX reality channel may show these someday.

Graftenberg 04-23-05 01:06 PM

I believe that they are shown continually in hell. At least that's what I heard.

Yahtzee ! Game on !

This show was a complete mess. It was originally called something else I thought. There were really no rules per se. It seemed like they made up "twists" as they went along. According to a poster on TVTome in March '05:


FOX is in talks to bring Hotel back to life for a second season. The show did real well in Summer of 2003 but conservative groups heavily criticized it. Mike Darnell, head of reality programming, is working to have the show back this summer.
It was a guilty pleasure admittedly because the contestants were just so loose, slutty and ridiculous.

I'd kill to see Paradise Hotel again! The one reality show I absolutely loved. I don't know if they can recreate the magic that was that first season, but I'd love to see them try. And it would be awesome if Dave was a guest once again.

Has anyone know any "update" type info on the guests?

RoQuEr 04-24-05 12:48 AM

what ever happened to the guess who is gay reality show?

I never watched it, but I heard somewhere that it is or was going to be made available by the network on-line somewhere, but for a fee.

ATX 04-24-05 08:13 PM

I loved Paradise Hotel, i was addicted to that garbage...probably the best social experiment done in a long time, i'd buy that on DVD if they ever put it out

remember Fox attempted to bring back Paradise Hotel in the form of "Forever Eden" aka PHo 2.0 but it tanked pretty fast and left some unaired episodes

all these Fox favorites will air on the FOX reality channel (on Directv) starting May 24th i believe also they will air stuff like tha bach/bachrette and crap from other networks they aquirre the rights to

Patman 04-24-05 08:22 PM

Yeah, whatever happened to Forever Eden? Ruth was quite a tasty treat as a nasty hostess at times.

That was the worst excuse for a show in the history of bad excuses for shows.

"Let's put some marginally decent looking, yet extremely obnoxious people on an island and make them play a game with no rules. Since there are no rules, and no goal, the show could theoretically go on forever!" :lol:

Close, they only missed by about forever. I think the show lasted for 3 episodes.

Temptation Island is being revived by the USA Network. http://tvline.com/2018/06/06/temptat...l-usa-network/

FOX became respectable.

I wish Pat Summerall was still around so he could do promos for these shows.

Pat - "Al Bundy visits a strip club. Tonight on FOX"

I kind of think Temptation Island went too far, I remember the one couple who got removed from the show because they had a kid together. I think Paradise Hotel would be a better show to bring back, but Bachelor in Paradise is kind of similar to it.

I was reminded of Paradise Hotel recently when I was watching MTV's Ex on the Beach. When I saw this thread bumped my heart skipped a beat in excitement. I can't recall much about Temptation Island, in fact maybe I never watched it. I'll give it a shot this time though.

Great. I can’t wait until The Moment of Truth comes back too. There isn’t enough TV out there based on ruining people’s lives. :sarcasm:

I wish America would remake the Japanese reality show where a man has to sing karaoke while receiving a handjob.

ABC has The Proposal coming on in less than two weeks... premise is that hot people parade around and two of them get engaged by the end of the show. It's a match made in heaven; what could go wrong?

One of the reality channels had a similar show last year. People would meet and pair up within a week. If you didn't get a proposal, you got kicked off the show. Of course none of the "marriages" worked out more than a few months after the show. These people just want to be on a reality show.

The one show that doesn't get discussed here is Marriage At First Sight. Their track record over the past six years has been abysmal at matching lasting marriages.

Original Desmond 06-07-18 05:31 PM

Re: What happened to Paradise Hotel and Temptation Island ?
 
Yeah it was the Spouse House, both marriages didn't last

Still the guys got a few roots out of it :)

10 episodes means it should be over before Game of Thrones comes back, so no worries about being torn over which one to watch live.

From a really old post:

Ah, when conservatives were *against* reality show sleazebags. ;)

I watched the premiere on YouTube and liked it. There are a few hotties to tempt everyone, but there are also some not so hot people cast too. I like bad reality tv, so I'll be watching the whole season. Also, this will be airing after live wrestling so make sure to pad your DVRs.

lwhy? 01-15-19 12:42 PM

Re: Temptation Island --- Discussion Thread
 
Just a reminder that the new season starts tonight at 10pm/9pm Central. If you're recording this, you will probably want to pad your DVR by 30 minutes, in case the live wrestling that airs before this runs over.

I watched the first two episodes. It was just as I remembered the old show. Lots of sleazy reality show fun. I find this show much more interesting and sleazier than The Bachelor/Bachelorette.

Good mix of couples though the really skinny couple are kinda unattractive.

You can almost see who has no chance of staying together on this venture. The singles are decent on both side though some of the girls look almost plastic. I like big tits as much as the next guy but doctors can still give you big tits that move some. Jeez.

I look forward to seeing the madness unfold.

I had forgotten the option of watching a video clip of the partner's "adventures".
