January 10 - Premiere

The premiere of Temptation Island was aired tonight, with the Host explaining that 4 couples will spend 12 days on the paradise island of Belize, with 26 beautiful, single men and women. They will be separated on the island, and faced with temptation at every turn. The couples are:

Shannon & Andy - Been together for 5 years; Andy loves women; Shannon wants to settle down.
Mandy & Billy - Been together for 1 1/2 years; Mandy is a flirt; Billy loves Mandy.
Ytossie & Taheed - Been together for 5 1/2 years - Ytossie loves Taheed; Taheed is known to cheat.
Valerie & Kaya - Been together for 1 1/2 years - Valerie wants to settle down; Kaya is a model.

Day 1 - The 4 couples are brought by boat to the beautiful island. Mark Walberg, the Host, brings in the 13 single women. The girls don't look impressed; the guys can't help but look, and make jokes. Ytossie said she's not worried; Shannon said she's jealous; Mandy felt insecure since the women were individually chosen based on the guys' tastes. The single men were then brought in, and the reverse occured. The guys looked worried while the girls checked out the single men. Andy called them "punks"; Billy thought they were arrogant.

The couples were then separated for the evening, and they all admitted to feeling insecure. The reality of what they were doing seemed to suddenly hit, and most felt they were tempting fate, and felt a little scared.

Day 2 - The women head to the mens' resort and the couples gather together around the pool. The 26 singles then took turns individually introducing themselves to the couples. When the introductions were finished, Mark the Host advised the men that they would be given 3 minutes to decide as a group, which of the 13 single men they wanted to kick off the island. The men huddled together, and agreed that Ace (cute, dark business guy) should leave. The women had their turn, and agreed Yvonne should go. Ytossie had received some bad vibes off Yvonne, and convinced the 3 that she needs to go. Next, the eight were given a bracelet, the same colour as the necklace that hung around their own and their partner's necks. They then had to give the bracelet to the single they felt most threatened by. The bracelet would mean that their partner could not date that single person. They could see them, and talk to them, but no dating.

Next, the couples were separated again, and the women taken back to the girls resort. Andy immediately struck up a conversation with the woman he was blocked from dating. The other 3 men gathered in their rooms, talking about how much time Andy was speaking to his blocked date. Later that evening, the couples were brought together for their last dinner together. They discussed how blocking their partner from dating one of the singles could actually draw them together; Taheed called it a "magnet". Tensions were high immediately, and Ytossie began to interrogate Taheed. Andy admitted to speaking with his blocked single for over 1 hour, and Shannon did not look impressed. Mark then gave the couples 10 minutes to say goodbye. It appeared that Ytossie could not get past her insecurity, and walked out of the room not saying goodbye to Taheed. Shannon and Mandy cried while saying goodbye to Andy and Billy. Ytossie was shown extremely upset outside alone.

Thirty minutes later, the guys were shown partying with the single women at the mens' resort. Taheed admitted to being pissed off at Ytossie's behaviour. Ytossie cried to the 3 women, telling them how much it hurt her that Taheed cheated on her.

The show ended with some previews of future episodes. The second episode airs next Wednesday.
