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!"

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.

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.

How about Fuck Mountain?

We'll get there in 10 years, is my guess.

Bill Needle

Oh hell yeah.

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

Original Desmond

Yay !

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?

PhantomStranger

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

Yeah it was the Spouse House, both marriages didn't last

Still the guys got a few roots out of it

The new season of Temptation Island will premiere on USA Network, Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 10/9c: https://tvline.com/2018/11/13/tempta...twork-reality/

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.

lwhy?

Here's a sneak peek of the new season:

Bluelitespecial

Wow they brought back host Mark Walhberg too that's awesome.

From Tvline.com:

USA Network has released the Temptation Island premiere online, one week before its official debut (Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 10 pm). You can watch the episode on Youtube, via USA On Demand, the USA app and USANetwork.com. https://tvline.com/2019/01/08/paradi...al-series-fox/

He needed the work

From a really old post:
Ah, when conservatives were *against* reality show sleazebags.

lwhy?

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?

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.

Spiderbite

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".
