The ClubHouse: Temptation Island 2 : I don't get why the ratings are so low........
Gadzooks | Saturday, January 19, 2002 - 01:32 am   I absolutely love this show. I just don't understand why more people aren't watching it. Access Hollywood is always slaming it. O.K. so it's not a big mental challenge, but my god, it's so great to let yourself escape into this island flirt fest. The tropical climate is so soothing and the emotional turmoil is engrossing. I find myself removed from this earth for the whole hour. Why does everything have to be so West Wing and Law and Order? I'm sure we'll never see Temptation III and that's a sad reality. Hey CBS, why don't you add this one to your summer schedule following Big Brother III. Bring on the sunshine. |
Joan | Saturday, January 19, 2002 - 07:20 pm   You don't think it will be continued for another season? I think this one is better than the first one! |
Gail | Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 04:44 am   I didn't care for the first one, though I watched it - it just seemed like all you saw were people crying all the time. This show just doesn't interest me at all - it's not the people, I just don't care for what this show is about. |
Dahli | Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 09:26 am   I watched the first one too, but felt like I really shouldn't be... so this time I'm taking a pass, since I agree with you Gail, I just don't care for what this show is about either. As tempting as it may be to be a voyeur I don't like what it says about me when I spend my 'valuable' time watching it. |
Realrealityfan | Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 10:25 am   I find this group just very uninteresting. In fact, I fell asleep during the last show. |
Muse | Monday, January 21, 2002 - 12:50 am   Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I find this season hilarious. I watched last season, but not every episode like I do this season. This time around it seems much more outrageous/interesting (and yes, sleazy and perhaps staged at times). I laugh throughout much of the shows. That's probably not the reaction the creators were looking for, but it's just so ridiculous. I especially love Mark Walberg's (aka the King of Cheese) expressions at bonfire. Some of my friends and family tease me for watching it. Ah well. Good escapist fun, I say.  |
Joan | Monday, January 21, 2002 - 01:04 pm   I agree Muse, this season is a lot more outrageous. People are getting a lot more physical this season is seems. We also have not had to go without a couple leaving. heh I guess Ytossi and Taheed have started a trend. |
Llkoolaid | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 12:34 pm   I hate what this show is about, the people are sleasy and cheesy and I hate what it says about me for just loving watching it. It is hilarious, I don't for one minute think this show is for real, it is kind of like a night time version of Jerry Springer. These people are so fake, just like Catherines boobs, where do they get these people anyway. I figure they raid some sleasy strip clubs. Anyway I don't miss a show, guess I am just a sick, sick girl. |
Grooch | Tuesday, January 22, 2002 - 12:43 pm   Catherine's boobs are fake?  |
Crazydog | Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 09:22 am   Grooch, LOL, they sure look like it... and I'm sure Brian could tell us! I watched every episode of the first TI, and have tried to watch this one. I missed a lot of the earlier episodes (I would rather watch Charmed and it is only recently that I got two VCRs... on my main TV I have a cable box and you can't record something and watch a different channel). I think I picked it up after the girly-looking guy and his controlling girlfriend left. Then for some reason just as I was getting into it, they took three weeks off, ostensibly for Christmas, but even Survivor aired during this time. Puzzling. I think they market the show oddly... they should market the fun and the sex, and not the relationship thing, and more people would find it enjoyable. I think a lot of people won't watch it just because they don't think it's right to be entertained by a show that exploits dysfunctional relationships and actively seeks to cause problems. Personally, I cannot stand the bonfires, I think they are utterly ridiculous. Why on the last show didn't they show Nicole having sex with that guy, or Catherine tumbling on the beach with Brian? Now THAT would have been something to see the look on their boyfriends. I cannot stand Mark Wahlberg's fakeness, especially when he asks them "what did you see". Do they honestly think he doesn't know what's on it? It just sounds so stupid... he should just ask them for their reaction. BTW, where have we seen this annoying little man before? |
Joan | Thursday, January 24, 2002 - 07:08 pm   Mark Whalburg gets on my nerves too. Like tonight when Edmundo pretty much said he was unhappy and Mark says "Well...obviously you're upset about this" as if this is something Edmundo is hiding. He is no Jeff Probst. =P |
Misslibra | Wednesday, February 13, 2002 - 11:03 pm   I watched the first one and tried to watch this one... I really tried. I just couldn't bond I guess would be a good word with these couples. And the crying about what their boyfriend and girlfriends were doing got on my nerves. And Mark showing them what their partners were doing and who with, while waitng in anticipation for their reaction to it has just become to predictable. I know, this show did the same thing last year. But the show was also new then. I also think these couples whine more about it. Like I said I just had a hard time bonding with these couples. I also wonder and think it also if it has something to do with the fact that I don't find very many of the couples and the people they put on the island for them to play with attractively appealing. That might also explain why ratings are down. IMO |
