Temptation Island is a provocative new reality-based show produced by Rocket Science Laboratories. Four unmarried, but seriously committed, couples at a crossroads in their relationship and 30 singles that are looking for love
travel to an exotic location to test the waters of temptation.

The couples, who are willing to test their relationships, will be set up on a variety of dates with three of the singles that best reflect their ideal mate. After two weeks of exploring the single world again, the couples will have to decide between a possible new love interest and their old flame.

Interesting commerical for it, although it really doesn't say much about the show. ;)

And the protests begin. Check out this article from Associated Press. Here's a bit of an excerpt:

" An upcoming Fox television series that uses scantily clad men and women to test the willpower of four couples was attacked as shameless and destructive by critics who urged the network to drop the program.

"The idea that it is sport and amusement to see if one can destroy a relationship for the purpose of securing ratings and profit is just unacceptable," Rabbi Kenneth D. Roseman of the Temple Shalom in Dallas said Tuesday.

In a letter mailed to local Fox affiliate KDFW-TV on Dec. 12, Roseman called the six-week reality series an "assault on marriage" and urged the station to pull it from the air. "

I've seen this article too. It went even further with:

"It tells me that the people participating are pathetic, the network (Fox) and the producers putting this together are shameless, and the public that would sit down and watch this ought to be embarrassed."

Fox says: "It would be premature, however, for anyone to form a judgment based solely on promotional footage. We hope that viewers will watch Temptation Island and decide for themselves."

I know I'll watch! :)

As the chick with the weird hair in the promo says "I'm in heaven now." She looks a little ditzy to me.

I'm really looking forward to this show... I guess I'm supposed to be embarrassed for watching it (or wanting to) but I'm not (hehehehe)...

I'll be sure to right a summary of the show on Wednesday night. :)

ROFLMAO!
When I asked some people at work if they watched the show, some got excited and said "YEAHHHHH" etc. and others looked at me in horror as if I was CRAZY to watch it. My co-worker looked at me like I was insane, as I explained to her what it was about. Hillarious!!!
