Temptation Island (2019) - General Discussion

[LakeGal]

Oh Ashley.... NO.  Someone needs to do an intervention for Ashley.  She has to get away from Lascelles.  At this point I hope Lascelles dumps her.  She doesn't seem capable of getting away from him on her own.  We can only hope he lets her go.  It was just sad to watch her take the blame for everything.

Edgar and Gillian went like I expected.  I did find it funny that Edgar told Gillian he was leaving alone.  But once Gillian left then Edgar did not leave alone.

The best 5 minutes of this entire season was Gillian losing her goddamned mind at the bonfire ceremony, on the walk back to the car, the entire car ride back, and in the house. When she was all “I’m going to burn this house down!” and she was getting Ash all worked up agreeing that “I’m going to gather all the incendiary objects!” I lost it laughing, while at the same time being somewhat fearful for the cast and crew. I believed her! I imagine the producers running around hiding all of the tiki torches and shutting down the gas line to the stove—show insurance isn’t going to cover arson on the rented villa! Did she totally forget that SHE started screwing around with Tommy first and THAT’S why Edgar hooked up with Mariel (I think that’s her name)? It’s like she totally forgot that she was trying to lock Tommy down to be her new boyfriend before Edgar did anything with Mariel. Just because it worked out for Edgar with his new love interest and not for her, somehow Edgar is the “villain” of the story in her mind, even though, by grade-school rules, “she started it.”

exactly!!!

[nlkm9]

So lol ashley wants to leave with lacessles and work things out . He gave her his blessing hoping ahe would choose to leave without him. She aplogizes to him for driving him to fall in lobe with trace. She is pathetic, and now he has to figire out how to tell her hes leaving with trace. This guy will figure out how to have both women. For a second i thouhht edgar was leaving without marissa….. i had to laugh “ we want to take it slow” lol ok.

[Fellaway]

Oh, Ashley... You can hardly call it your decision to leave alone when Lascelles already made that decision for you.

For the record, though? You're better off without him.

[Fellaway]

'Kay, I don't even remember Paige. I do not think she was the pivotal entity in Luke's transformation they're trying to make us think she was. Luke and Iris were such a non-tempted couple, casting ought to be looking at its protocols for picking couples.

Ouch. Taylor gave Ash a fake phone number? Not surprised, really. He was an obvious player from the get, just looking for face time on TV. I never got what Ash saw in him. He's not even good-looking. I guess his appeal was his ability to tell Ash what she wanted to hear, as long as there was a television camera pointed at them, that is. I feel for Ash, though, gaining strength and confidence and understanding her value, only to be suckered again.

Liking all the respect and support all the women were giving each other tonight.

Has this show been renewed for another season?

[JenE4]

A: “Lascelles, I want to leave with you.”

L: “I’m not leaving alone. Trace is too special.”

A: “Mark, I’d like to change my decision.”

Girl, the jig is up. We all know you are willing to overlook Lascelles falling in love with someone else. You can’t pretend to dump him, too, after he dumps you!

Ooh! Quite the death glare from Ash. Methinks she won’t be accepting the proposal. Good thing we already heard Mark tell Lascelles to call him any time, because after that long, caressing embrace and telling Ash she’s worthy of love and he’ll keep up with her, I thought we might have ourselves a Me Too scandal.

Ok, time for the success story, to convince future contestants that this is a good idea to bring your partner on to get them to straighten up so you can get married.

There’s another hour?! Not tonight, Satan! I need to go to sleep. Skipping everyone’s comments so I’m not spoiled on any juicy developments, but I’ll be back.

And easy sex.  If he hadn’t feigned caring and concern she wouldn’t have hooked up with him.

[nlkm9]

OK I am totally confused, last week left off with Marissa leaving with Edoardo, and then it went straight to the reunion, I never saw the rest of that bonfire episode, but we did crack me up is Jillian telling Marissa she wished they had honored her and her boyfriend‘s history, seriously you came onto the island to date other people and to have connections, you chose this venue and the temperatures did exactly what they were supposed to. Out of the entire cast, Jillian is just freaking hysterical and nuts. Don’t put yourself in a situation like this if you’re going to blame everyone else , and ash with her totally sour expression, it’s all just too funny, I don’t think Ashley will ever be done with lacrlles.

And Marissa leaving it all up to Eduardo whether he wants to be with you? You ladies all do know you were with men who had long time girlfriends and they were cheating didn’t you?

[JenE4]

AITA, TI reunion edition: Lascelles is a super-mega asshole of the highest order. Gillian is still hysterical blaming Edgar…even though she did the same thing with Tommy (she just couldn’t get Tommy to agree to leave with her)—asshole. In a surprise twist, Hania has shown some growth and Taylor turned out to be the asshole (fake number!!!). The show is pretending Deac never existed because I guess he didn’t show up. Now the show is portraying Luke as barely able to control his penis (as said multiple times!) around some girl that as far as we knew they were “just friends”? Now I’m calling the show the asshole in this situation for trying to throw the happy, engaged couple into turmoil after the show is over.

These “ tempters” are ridiculous. You are there to “tempt” and “ steal” a guy /girl in a long term relationship so the shock and awe when they are ditched? It has to be acting. Ash- you had sex multiple times with taylor so i dont get your overly and dramatic sour face at bonfire. 
gillian telling marissa to respect their history? You showed no respect to your history, why should she?

[call me ishmael]

I admit that i missed a lot of this season but what is up with Gillian’s acting as if what Edgar did was so different than what she did? And with his abjection?  If i followed correctly, her shower scene with Tommy was before his bedroom scene.  Is the basic narrative that since he cheated on her after one year of their three year relationship that he is forever in the wrong?  I’m confused not only by her behavior but bymthe fact that everyone on the reunion seemed to accept it.

Everyone didn't accept it. There were multiple people murmuring about her not making sense. They just didn't speak up because what would be the point? She is determined to play victim. People clearly were more on Edgar's side. He was one of the only guys that didn't get mocked or shamed by the group.

[sainte-chapelle]

I’ve been stuck inside with Covid and just discovered this mess on Crave. All of these people get less attractive and more annoying as the seasons go by. I was surprised by the love folks on the show had for Evan and Morgan during their season. Kaci was a touch messy but Evan was clearly a gaslighter. She wasn’t lying when she said she was the only one who understood what he was capable of. Slack jawed Morgan learned a hard lesson but how you get them is how you lose them honey. He took her money, used her and humiliated her on national television. Kinda deserved after she gleefully spoke about how Evan should break up with Kaci over a 30 second video.
I never bought their romance, the whole thing seemed like bad theatre and Morgan was straight up unhinged during the first few episodes.
The rest of these people are forgettable and the tempters are not attractive in the least…serious casting issues here.  I enjoyed Kirstin and Julian. They were too good for this show.

holy cow I am watching dateline and the story is focusing on Evan´s dad….they are even interviewing a younger Evan. Gavin was pretty much bankrupt due to women and addiction so all Evan’s stories about trust funds are bullshit. Gavin was. Well off but blew through all the money.  Apple didn’t  fall far from the tree, his dad was a troubled and thoughtless person.

It’s back.  

[LakeGal]

They have changed the format a bit this season.  They had them all party together.  It will be interesting that they have that white ball that turns red or whatever shade when someone cheats.  That will cause problems and everyone will worry it is their partner.  

[1011101010001]

Iris from last season was on two podcasts this week, one with Kaci Campbell from Season One and one with Reality Steve.  Let’s just say Luke was a bad boy.

On the island or after? He was all puppy dog love while on the show.

I have no hope for any of these couples.  Bunch of kids.

After.

[Fellaway]

I do not believe Vanessa knows the definitions of the words grace and elegance.

Okay, girl (Sorry, don't know her name.), when the guy (Sorry, don't know his name.) says he hates being cut off, maybe don't immediately cut him off.

It never fails to amuse me on this show when one of the tempters complains about being disrespected (On Day 1, yet.) when they're literally there to steal someone else's partner.

Got it! I did some digging and read an article that said Iris and her new guy are starting an Only Fans for sexual kinks. Go get em' girl!

Vanessa would be a very hard person to be around.  I don't think I would want to date anyone like her or be her friend.  I feel sorry for the guys around her.

Even the tempters seem over her already. If any one of them goes after her, I'll have to believe it's just for the extra airtime.

Or... that ass. I'm sure there are dudes there that would just like to smash because she thick.

[LakeGal]

I don't have much hope any of these couples will stay together.  I just don't see the true love between any of them.  They all seem too excited to get it on with someone new.  

[azprimadonna]

I have hate-watched this show in previous seasons, but I couldn't get past episode 2 without taking it off my recorder.  It looks like they have all been recruited from a strip club. Just can't do it.

I totally understand and I thought the exact same thing. But you need to keep watching so I can hate watch with you lol.

Why are the single girls able to twerk and lap dance if they're average singles? And what young man has had 96 partners before the age of 40? (Unless he's never been in a relationship or maybe he's never been with women?) That's not normal behavior and makes me think maybe these singles used to be escorts or strippers?

But I will say that the actual couples don't seem to exhibit that type of behavior and I am enjoying hate watching Vanessa. She needs to have a reality check. And her boyfriend needs to see a therapist.

I like how they have to choose their dates in front of each other. I find the guys seem a lot more sneaky if the partners aren't around, whereas if their partners are there they choose a different woman. I'm not sure what's up with that

Edited July 4, 2023 by Chalby

[Chalby]

Paris and Vanessa are the most insecure girls of the couples. When I saw them hating on two girls that were picked for a first date, that showed me their true colors. No woman with confidence would ever even show she was affected by the person her man chose.

[Drogo]

WTF Marjorie. Stanky attitude was right.

[Crazydoxielady]

Could Vanessa shut up for a moment? She has to "host" the elimation and the talent show? She is doing the MOST, and its all coming off as overt the top showy and desperate.  

[Drogo]

Things I would not have thought after episode 1 that I think after episode 6: 

-Hall sucks. He has no idea who he is or the type of partner he wants- he just wants whatever’s in front of him.  (Pretty sure Makayla is full of shit, too. She looks way too excited to hear him shit-talking the woman he allegedly loved 12 days ago.)
-I like Vanessa. Seems like she’s built an entire “Back up I got this” persona when she does want to be cared for through and through. Brice aka wet paper bag she’s hot tubbing with isn’t that, but I would love to see her give Massage and Tea Party Christian a shot.

[denae]

Hall is a piece of work.  I agree with you Drogo that Malayala is full of it. I don’t see them as a couple outside of the show.   
I don’t see any of the existing couples leaving together, but Paris and Great may surprise me because they are both sloppy and have unrealistic expectations and ideas about a real relationship. Don’t think they would last long afterwards if they do leave together.  
Marcela surprised me that she hooked up with someone as quickly as she did.  Can’t stand the guy she came on the show with, he’s a dangerous type of man in my book. Acting as if he is her savior when he is actually controlling , belittling and gaslighting her. Not to mention that it was not his business to share her desire to be with a woman.  Not saying she is perfect, obviously she wasn’t devoted to him if she hooked up with someone virtually right out of the gate.  

[LakeGal]

I don't know what it says but I still don't remember most of their names.  I have been disappointed with this season.  I really don't believe any of these couples were serious when they came on the show.  They all seem eager to cheat.  The guy that wants a baby so badly really makes me laugh.  He believes that woman he is so taken with wants the same things he does.  Yes, she says she wants babies too.  But I don't believe outside of this show that she would be interested in him at all.  But he it ready to just give up his longtime girlfriend for her.  I think he will be surprised after the show.

[LakeGal]

Nobody is posting so I guess everyone is as bored with this season as me.  

Hall still annoys me.  

It is hard to remember who everyone is.  It often takes me a moment to even figure out if we are seeing the guys or girls villa.  They all just blend in together.

[nlkm9]

gosh they are all such hypocrites!!! and all the twerking, shoving themselves into each other. i was amused the first nite, but wow how does this not get old for them.and yes everyone seemed very willing to cheat. worst season for sure. zI cant get over some of the outfits either. vanessa booty outfit was gross

[Drogo]

Christopher leaving the island with his third choice after his attempts to slut-shame Marisela into a reunion fell flat.  Alexis honey, he’s no good.

[Crazydoxielady]

Christoper can kick rocks. So happy Marisella got away. She is lovey and good on her to choose herself. 
Vanessa and her boob sling acting all cool until “you slept in same bed.” Woops, there she is!  We remember you from the first night. Where did that growth go?

I fast forward thru all Hall and his bimbo and will continue to do so. He’s absolutely the worst and couldn’t wait to further insult his fiancé as he gets his rocks off. Fast forward thru his diatribe is my only option.

Kind of loved Mike being like "I don't know you but I've been paying attention and you're a fucking narcissist." 

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out... or did it.

What a season. I'm not sure if thats good or bad. 
As usual fast forwarded thru all things Hall and his bimbo.

Christopher and Mariesela...we knew Chris was a douche. But Maresela sending nudes and going back to him for sex? Chatting up his dad? THese two deserve each other. He was disgusting to Alexis, and I was touched at Mark shedding a tear.

So little boy Roberto lied thru out final bon fire. Tsk tsk. Vanessa needs to move on, to a nice man who can handle her, not a boy who needs to grow up.

I am bored by Great and chiclet teeth. She has zero self awareness and is very immature. No surprise green eyed boy dumped her. He was all about the camera.

A nice man is not going to put up with her attitude.  Roberto lied to her, but it was because he knows she explodes at everything.

[LakeGal]

I enjoyed the extra scenes and stuff with Mark more than the season.  Maybe they should edit this show a bit differently.  

I am not surprised that none of the original couples are still together.  They seemed ready to cheat from the beginning.  I would not be surprised if some couples that are ready to split up make a deal to come on the show.  They pretend they are still a couple and they get to be on TV and get followers and have a nice vacation.  

Hall is still a jerk.  I do wonder if his bimbo's friends and family will still like him after they have watched him on the show.  They might be dragging her away from him right now.  I can believe a woman rethinking her relationship with him once they see he is quite disliked by the viewers.  

I hope next season is cast better than this season was.  

[mirandroid]

I really like Mark. One of the best reality hosts in my opinion.

And Hall? Ugh. What a wet noodle.

Even though the show is over, and I've seen the reunion, I STILL cannot remember any names other than Hall and Vanessa. I think that sums up this season's participants, and overall show. They're not memorable.
