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.

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

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.

Again no it doesn't. They really just need 2 lgbt people. A bi person in a relationship and a gay or lesbian as a temptation. It's not hard to grasp

Btw I'm 100% sure production tells the temptation who to go for before the season starts and they pick them for specific reasons for the couples

I honestly feel like some aren't even interested in this and logged on just to argue.

The first episode is on free on YouTube. I haven't watched yet, but these are my thoughts going in.

The show seems like an MTV-esque concept, with a bunch of bachelor contestants. Based on their bios they all seem too mature and too smart to completely embarass themselves the way MTV people do. I know people don't like MTV casting, but AYTO/ EOTB pepole seem much messier than Bachellor people.

Also, I'll be surprised if any of the couples end up breaking up on this show. I think the worst that will happen is one of the men will get a little too handsy with one of the girls, but his girl will forgive by the end of the season, and there will be very little actual drama.

Hopefully I'm wrong though, I'd love for this to end up being great.

the part about the bachelor is so true that show is ***, I hate "cl***y" love drama like that shit is so vanilla and boring

I may have been wrong about this show, I'm cautiously in. The show may still end up being boring, but I can already tell Javen and Shari are a mess

KVM is one miserable hating *** *****

lol--it's adorable that you think I'm the miserable one.  I thought others were crying about the casting...

PinkRose#41

I watched it and it wasnt thiag bad lol

My money is on John and his gf cheating on each other

croatoan00#42

I watched the first episode and WOW Shari & Javen may have dated the longest but she was immediately threatened by the women. I don't see their relationship surviving this show.

My brother in law knows the cuban guy that lives in Texas.

Can anyone verify if these are actual couples on this show? I haven’t watched and although I shouldn’t be after AYTO I am surprised people are thirsty enough to sacrifice their relationships for a little fame.

Not sure what you mean but these are real couples that have been together for years and they’re walking into the show to basically test their relationship for a quick check.

Anyone know how the ratings are doing for this show?

I think last episode got like ~800k viewers and a 0.3 in the demo, but it airs after Smackdown so those numbers aren’t exactly great

Saw PR posting the Lohan Beach Thread and its doing good.

It's doing good as far as the premiere last week. Last night ratings would come out tomorrow 

Chicken_breast#52

Wait do people get eliminated from this show?

Would be messy if one of the couple's partner gets sent home by them lol.

PinkRose#53

The ratings went up to 922k and it was on top 5

I think I’m enjoying this show more than I should. & I guess it’s catching on with that rating boost. 

JUMPY#55

I could see Katheryn crossing over to The Challenge (or Ex on the Beach) soon.  She would fit in well on MTV.  

shboogies#56

This show is so good.

I'm going to dread when Evan inevitably dumps Kaci. Him being interested in someone else was WAYYYY too instant lol.

JUMPY#57

I can't wait til Kady inevitably cheats on John (who she treats like trash) so John can finally "go savage" and hook-up with Katheryn lol.

Yes! and apparently the next few episodes will be even better

Does he have the balls to do that?

JUMPY#59

YAY John gets to hook-up with Katheryn now!!  

Daddy DAF#60

Kady is TRASH 

JUMPY#61

renewed for season 2 and casting now!     https://deadline.com/2019/02/temptation-island-renewed-season-2-usa-netw...

Tonight's episode was so riveting.  This is the best drama on tv right now. 

Jaden is so sweet and funny and too pure for this show tbh.    Evan should crossover to The Challenge cause he would be good friends with Paulie lol.  

Kady is a terrible person but a great villain.  My body is ready for John to get his revenge on Kady by banging Katheryn next week!
