That was a great line ...Wasn't it the cute massage therapist? I can't believe Billy dropped his bracelet in front of him to make him bend down and get it. So mature...and his girlfriend loved it.

A very good line! One that some folks here didn't ever figure out during BB or Game I.

I think Billy is the kind of guy that while decent in normal life, would be the trash talker on the field. From a guy perspective, it was that "upper hand" thing. He had to show that he was not intimidated by the guy, and was telling him "you better be intimidated by me". Not saying it's mature to do...not saying that at all. Just trying to provide a method to the "madness" beyond just a lack of maturity.

My guess is that he knew she'd like it. As she points out, she feels she needs to see him try and make a move on another girl. It's almost as if she's looking for a stimulus to push her to that next level of commitment, and she's thinking some old fashioned jealousy might do it. IMHO, a person like that is someone who will start a fight just to get make-up sex. I'm probably stepping on Adven's area by saying things like that.

Adven, if you care to correct anything please jump in.

Oh, while I'm at it with the "guy things" that Billy was doing, did anyone notice the "guy thing" the host did??

When the single women were shown walking up, the host only verbally greeted them. When the guys same up from the boat, he shook the hand of each one and at the same time, said something to each one. That is a very "guy thing". I wonder why he didn't shake the hand of each woman?

Sorry, but I can hate the player more in this situation that I can in the one referring to BB. In this case people knowingly signed up for a situation which has the potential to destroy lives. How can I not "hate" (don't hate them but they do royally disgust me) people who are such media whores that they'll either sign up to be a temptor (essentially go on TV in order to parade around in tiny clothing and hit on people with sig. others) or to be a man or woman supposedly in love who is more than willing to go on dates with people who admit they'd love to break them up? I'm sorry but these people are below respecting in anyway.

And I think I do completly hate the couple with the child/children...that is beyond trashy to HIDE YOUR OFFSPRING so you can be on a cheap tv show and get a free trip to Belize.

Why the hell didn't they banish the massage therapist if they hate him so much!!??? What were they thinking!?

I think the point was they didn't really think about it until they banished their guy and then the girls said "We were thinking it should be the massage therapist instead"... then they caught on

Well, if you've been watching the news....Little Rock was ICED OVER for about two weeks. We had no power. I wrecked my car....sucks. Then I spent the rest of the holidays in Texas, so I have definitely been out of pocket. My car is STILL in the shop after 26 days...

BUT....I'm Back!!! And sooooo excited about The Mole and Temptation Island. I'm a new person!! You'll be seeing plenty of me around now that Reality TV is back....

Moon...didn't you think the massage therapist had GREAT teeth...I loved his smile!!! YUMMY!!

Oh gag.

Throw the guy the Kama Sutra and he's Superman. Take it away and he's just another Clark Kent.

Dilli--great to have you back!! Sorry to hear about your car though.

Max, if that were true, wouldn't these girls be as hot over their guys doing something like that as they are over this other guy?

Hey Dili!!! Guru - you are just jealous... I agree that massage guy is a cutie pie. I also think Billy is quite something (redhead girl's partner). Looks like she's gonna break his heart.

Lance,
Possibilities include:

  1. They do like it when their boyfriends break out the Kama Sutra, however the idea of a new cute guy is just what they're looking for.
  2. Their boyfriends think things like Kama Sutra oil are for sissies.
  3. The thought of a professional's hands rubbing that yummy oil over their bodies is just too luscious!
  4. Being hot about their boyfriends using Kama Sutra oil on them just doesn't make for good TV and they want more than anything to be "noticed" on this series so they can get their "big break" into the business.
Of course, I'm sure there are other possibilities, too!

Max, providing only MHO, I'll give the ranking based on what the other reality shows have been all about for these folks so far.

4.
4.(again)
1 and 2 tied (although I bet Billy is a guy willing to do most anything for his girl)
3.
4.(once again)

I'm wondering how many LMT's there were watching this saying "geez, just what our profession needs--one of our own using this to get women that are having a tough time in their relationship"

Tukuul, True that ...True that !

Enb, I just knew the Men were going to pick Sean. I said his head will be first on the chopping block ! I couldn't believe it either when they didn't pick him. This is yet more proof that Women are much smarter then Men ! Sorry guys you just don't have a clue !
