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.

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.
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.

Well, I was kinda surprised...
Kelley & Mark - 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.
John & Shannon - No surprise there. Everybody knew they would stay together....although I was secretly hoping that John would dump that whiny biatch.
Catherine & Edmundo - 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! 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. 
I think they're both better off for it.
Tommy & Nikkole - 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.

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.

Or whatever they're replacing Family Guy with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though not on the "guide" schedule they are playing it after the football game and the news.
