Behind the Screen: Temptation Island- USA Network

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

For real tho I don't get this show. Why would anyone go on it...

— Challenge 17

I'm so excited that this show is getting rebooted. It's first run was during the original golden era of reality tv and it was a classic...

Temptation Island- USA Network

PinkRose ·

Trailer:

The show will follow four couples at a vulnerable time in their relationship, where each will decide “whether to commit to a lifetime together — or ultimately give in to the temptation.”

Together, the couples travel to Maui, Hawaii, where they are joined by 24 love-hungry men and women, ready to compete to steal hearts.

Temptation Island premieres Jan. 15 at 10 p.m. ET on USA Network.

I'm so excited that this show is getting rebooted!!  It's first run was during the original golden era of reality tv and it was a classic!  I'm surprised they even got Mark L Walberg to come back as host again!

How would that even work?

I guess USA got tired of those NCIS reruns and now trying to steal MTV’s programming. ⚰️

Does no answer mean that you admit it wouldn't work?  Cuz it wouldn't

wutzrenzi#14

maybe they didn't see your post because they didn't return to the thread lol

LucciVee#15

Bringing LGBT couples could work though. The format is basically trying not to cheat on your significant other in a house for a couple of weeks, based off my understanding. I don’t know how that wouldn’t work when you could just bring in those couples. ⚰️

Are you that press i did not response to you? Yikes.

Since you want a response so bad. The singles will know which person they would attract too. Plus it could be ******** couples. It's not really hard to understand.

lol--you're just looking for a reason to be mad.  It doesn't even make sense to have a LGBT couple.

The shows first season was lit. After the first season it sucked. 

anon333334#19

I saw not one indication that CB was mad about anything.

A damn shame.

It could work and actually be interesting, get a ******** person and have a lesbian or gay guy as the temptation. Shit aint rocket science 

shboogies#21

Idk I liked the original so I’m kinda excited for this lol

So how many groups of people do you want?   They keep these things simple because the people watching it can barely keep track of the main 8 people let alone 50 or whatever you want

Debut Album#23

None of y'all are gonna watch this so IDK why this argument is even happening.

Did you miss the fact they are joined by 24 people? I'm suggesting a couple with a bi person then ONE Gay or lesbian person, what's hard to understand

Becuase it doesn't work.  Then you have to have a group of gay/lesbians for that person.   They have 24 straight men/women with 4 straight couples.  If you want a show full of LGBT people then don't watch.  It's not necessary.

It is necessary but you probably would not understand.

Lol smh

I don’t think they are talking about the whole cast being lgbt. But how entertaining would it be if a female/female couple came in, one was like Nicole Z. And turned all the straight women out. I’d watch.

because it was riveting television when Nicole did it...

Kari_daddy#30

When I say like Nicole, I mean a woman who is capable of turning a bunch of straight girls out. Not someone actually like Nicole. It was an example lol.

It isn't...just like a show doesn't need straight people either but push your agenda.
