Admin | Tuesday, January 02, 2001 - 08:25 am  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. |

Max | Wednesday, January 03, 2001 - 07:05 pm  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. " |
Enb | Saturday, January 06, 2001 - 01:41 pm  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!  |
Doc99 | Saturday, January 06, 2001 - 04:05 pm  As the chick with the weird hair in the promo says "I'm in heaven now." She looks a little ditzy to me. |
Enbwife | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 08:00 am  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. |
Digilady | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 11:21 am  Me too, Lisa. This is the evil kind of stuff I like (YES I watch Blind Date and laugh myself ill!) |
Flint | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 03:25 pm  Blind Date is hilarious!!!!! interesting comment about the show destroying marriages in that article. The couples aren't married. |
Digilady | Sunday, January 07, 2001 - 03:44 pm  YOU too?? That is scary... remember the one where the dude farted all the time? I laughed for days! |
Doc99 | Monday, January 08, 2001 - 03:55 pm  I'm one of those pathetic people they talk about. I won't miss it! |
Flint | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 12:50 pm  It almost makes me wish I were in a relationship so i could participate and be tempted. ;) |
Mishamisha | Tuesday, January 09, 2001 - 04:41 pm  did someone say "tempted"? |
Flint | Friday, January 12, 2001 - 06:22 am  Tempt me bay-bee! Tempt me and maybe you will get the Dance of a Thousand Thongs, and 1 Blisk. ;) |
Digilady | Friday, January 12, 2001 - 07:53 am  "Your kiss is on my blisk tonight"... <sung> |
Enbwife | Saturday, January 13, 2001 - 05:23 pm  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!!! |
