I dont usually like reality shows. I accidentally got sucked into this one when the wife had it on. But to honest, I like the concept. Season 1 was good. Interesting couples, and all their stories were good. Season 2 was by far the best. Hard not to root for Kate. Season 3 was such an incredible disappointment. Boring boring boring. Bland couples that you cannot possibly become invested in. Boring singles. A sexy scene or two but thats it. Hope Season 4 is better.

Not a bad show but definitely not a great show. Provides a good amount of entertainment for 45 minutes. The characters can get annoying/downright stupid. All things considered if you're into drama shows like this then you will enjoy it.

I accidentally recorded this mid season 1 and got hooked by the "so bad it's good". Seasons 1&2 the couples were almost all morally flawed and/or unlikeable. Season 3 flips it and is awesome and engaging. 6 of the 8 (4 couples) have a reasonable moral compass and you can feel for their challenges. The host also takes a new role, digging deep on their personal journey in positive ways instead of just stoking the drama. Worth nothing that 3 of the 8 in season 3 have IMDB profiles as actors in other shows, which is not what their profession is said to be, so how much is real vs scripted?

If you love watching train wrecks mingling with dumpster fires, this show is for you. There are no redeeming qualities, no merit, no greater message... just the guilty pleasure of seeing ruined souls collide with alcohol and sex in a tornado of schadenfreude!! God I can't wait for the next episode!

The idea seems fairly well, throw single Girls to an engaged men and look whats Happening. But please don't call it "Prove how strong your love is!" It is just destined to fail. It is just in the nature of People, especially when Girls throw themself half naked and whillingly onto guys. Same goes for the women, talking about their relationship with single guys who act as if the understand, listen closely, pour them more wine and giving them a friendly shoulder massage. I mean the director of the Show went so far to even invite Striptease Dancer as the Singles. This is just freshly made Drama. Nevertheless is quite some entertaining Drama. But really - no one in their right mind would choose this way to proove the endless love.

I find this show very entertaining and look forward to it each week

This is the embodiment of human decay... The result of a slow but inescapable death of the potential of western civilization...

Full Disclosure: In brief, this is a reality TV show designed to cause maximum drama, all under the guise of testing the strength of four couples' relationships.

If you're into drama just for the sake of drama, then you'll love this show. However, unlike what's become of the Bachelor and so many other reality TV shows where it's a shameless attention grab for half the people participating, everyone on this show seems to be searching to find something out either about themselves or about their relationship. The contrast between those who succeed in doing this and who fail is what provides the intrigue to this show. The people who are giving this show bad reviews are clearly not seeing the forest for the trees; obviously the show isn't designed to build healthy relationships. The show has never professed to wanting that. The host of the show sometimes seems to be actively trying to create doubt if nothing else. But if you watch this season from start to finish, you'll see things that will make you sick to your stomach, right alongside things that will restore your faith in humanity. I'm gonna knock two stars off because the push for drama by the producers can become obvious sometimes, but it's an otherwise entertaining, very well edited show.

Shows such as this are a statement of the current state of humanity. Created drama, conflict and an attempt to titillate the target audience (who are obviously around 12 years old). We will be much better off when "reality TV" finally comes to an end.

First, I LOVE reality TV with some brain (can't stand "Real Housewives," but seen 30 seasons of "Survivor").

Unlike Love Island, Temptation Island actually has brain. Whoever casts this show is the silent hero. These aren't a bunch of vacuous losers just trying to get followers on social media. I'm sure some are, but, for the most part, these are real people with real relationships being "tempted" by people that are at least real enough (I think there's a big spectrum of quality on the temptation side, which is exactly how it should be).

Also unlike Love Island, there's no immediate incentive for the people to lie in their solo camera time (Love Island's viewers vote, so the people are obviously just feigning whatever they think the viewers want to hear to stay on the island-- it's annoyingly fake).

The Host! To Love Island's credit, the guy narrating is actually funny, which is extremely rare for Network TV, but TI's Host, Mark Walberg (no, not the one and only pimp daddy Marky Mark) is EXCEPTIONAL. Total pro. He knows exactly when, and how, to interject. Adds class to a show that could easily go in the direction of some brainless Jerry Springer trash. The producers manage to keep the show respectable, which is important for attracting the quality people I'm only interested in watching.

I didn't give it a 10 because S1 had some cheesy music that they did NOT repeat in S2. Also, there was a brief time in S1 where I felt unengaged (the slowest time in both seasons is their 30 second videos). And in S2, one of the coupled ppl made it clear they weren't interested in someone JUST because that person wasn't interested in them, and I was pretty disappointed their partner wasn't shown at the bonfire that they were the "backup."

Highly recommend. 👍👍

The show revolves around four couples at a crossroad and this could have been as interesting as watching a vegetable grow in your garden. However, I find that the couples they hired really made for an entertaining show. They were diverse in maturity level, they were diverse personalities and had a certain level of commitment and goals in mind. Also, the fact that the men as well as the women engage in conversation and we can see how they have each other's back while processing their own thoughts is nice to see. They are having real conversations. One whose honesty I can appreciate is Nicole. Nicole actually adds a difference to the show considering that she acknowledges and was not afraid to say that her love in the relationship is not as deep as the other girls. That is very difficult thing to say, and yet she is not afraid to tell it like it is. Shari is another interesting character in the show, because at the beginning she has you thinking if she is so closed minded will she get to open up and grow? She certainly surprises us as the show continues to grow and we can begin to understand her because Javen is the only man that she has ever known. I also can appreciate the fact that the cast has been very engaging in social media and that also helps shed some perspective into what we are watching. They've done a great job this season with the casting of the couples and singles, I hope that they can have another great season come season 2. Definitely, the success will be in the casting because at this point social media is what fuels the show as their cast is very likable and relatable. The show should look in the future to work a little more on their editing. Nonetheless enjoyable, entertaining, do recommend watching.

The people are trash and the show is trash. I thought Jersey Shore was trashy but these couples are disgusting

I recently streamed both seasons of this show and while I can say I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the contestants in the first season develop their relationships deeper through the show, the second season was a complete chore to watch as nobody really seemed to have that same emotional growth or evoke as much sympathy for their evidently difficult decisions. I wanted to watch another season of "Temptation Island", not a season of Adultery Island, and I lost complete respect for everyone on the second season of the show very quickly, and the casting department should definitely be scrutinized for picking such terrible contestants. Ashley H. was the only person seemingly growing from the experience but I was hugely disappointed by the outcome of her experiences as described in the Reunion.

I really enjoyed the first season so I would be interested in watching a third as long as there are serious casting improvements. I would prefer to see more intelligent people capable of self reflection, with stronger relationships, and stronger moral values be truly tested by the conditions of this show rather than some unintelligent and emotionally weak imbeciles run around having threesomes on a free vacation and pretending to be remorseful.

The first 3 seasons were so good!! Great group of couples. Season 4 is so boring, the cast is just blah. Literally not one person I like on season 4. I honestly have a hard time remembering their names because they are so unmemorable. I hope season 5's cast is better.

Reason for 3 stars.

1 star for being my hate watch program.

1 star for making me laugh.

1 star for knowing how right I am.

The show is total B. S., a joke.

Still waiting for a program with every day people other than models. But even then the show will be ruined by the producers.

This is a step too far, as it literally ruins peoples lives in front of our eyes.

The premise of the show is flawed. Irrespective of how many times the host tries to reinforce / justify the nature of the show, does not change the fact that it is designed to break couples up.

Seeing one short segment of a conversation / event involving your other half, with no context provided - is never going to end well. Which is then debriefed in a negative way by Mark, and then the member of the opposite sex - who's sole purpose is to break all the couples up.

I hope the show provides therapy for the contestants afterwards, as I don't see this show ending well long term. All it takes is 1 scandal.

Garbage show, I never watched it but after seeing clips on tv I dont need too, I remember when season 3 came out in 2003 and it was all new episodes AT 2 AM IN THE MORNING, because the show sucked and the network didnt want people to see it obviously, I kinda felt sorry for it, the show is so stupid.

Sorry Walberg, you look like you have terminal cancer and it is a downer. I hope you are health however if one is watching a shallow show you are very distracting.

I watched this show expecting to see "temptation", instead I saw a bunch of women that I wouldn't give the time of day, let alone cheat with. I guess the casting director was too busy making sure we got every race included that they forgot to choose attractive women?

What's sad is people get paid to make these terrible choices and they get paid a LOT. Give me a few days to sort through hundreds of women and I'll give you a cast that has 99% of men tuning in week after week. Fire whoever's in casting.
