Does anybody plan on watching this or know anyone that is planning on it?

I just don't get it.  Not one bit.

I think the Idea is apalling!!!

From what i get out of what the gist is is that you take Couples that have been together a long time and are now maby having some problems and you deleibratly try to make the cheat on eachother so that the viewers can get the satisfaction of watching someone's life being ruined and their heart broken.  I think this is perfect testiment to how pathetic and selfish networks can be in persuit of some ratings.  I mean it may be easy to not be reminded over the TV but the goal here is to throw one or more person from each couple into total misery and despair by getting the other to be unfaithful to them, all for your viewing pleasure.

Can we say network sponsored prostitution??? If Wobbles description is accurate, that is what it is. Perhaps it is a remake of the last 8 years in the oval office!

The Fox Network stated that this show is not about sex.

Yeah, right!

The show's on Fox...not much more of a description needed.  That being said, I must humbly admit that I found myself watching re-runs of that survivor show - not sure why, since I considered most of 'em idiots, but I'll probably watch the next one too if I'm in front of the tube when it's on...sad really

Oh, and Wobble, that was a John Wayne impression

If it's not about sex, then why were the participants screened for sexually transmitted diseases? If this shows popularity is high, it'll confirm the low morales and lack of self respect today's society is now entrenched with.
Personally, it looks like televised prostitution to me. Someone is receiving money to have sex with someone else with the sole goal of devastating a mates happiness. Think FOX is playing the role of the pimp in this one.

I watched Survivor for the weekly challenges. The ending of that show with Richard the back stabber winning the $$ and Susan the loudmouth, really turned my stomach as I saw what it all was really about.

Where will it stop? Next we'll "Pervert Island" where they'll drop off 25 kids under the age of 12 and 5 pedophiles. If Sodom and Gomorra had tv, this would be it.

TV just doesn't offer much today.  I hardly watch it anymore.  Would like to see reruns of "Have Gun Will Travel".

Ok the deal with the show is..

Each member of each couple is set up with three dates in which their date will try to seduce them into cheating on their boyfriend/girlfriend, when all 3 dates are finished each will sit and watch his/her mate with the rest of the world and see everything that happened.  This is so diddlying disgusting! it makes me sick! I mean these are people just like You and me and this whoopee network is setting out to ruin theri lives and is doing nothing to hide it, their basic hook is "watch while people are made suicidally depressed and have their lives ruined and scarred forever"

Hey FOX I got yer next big show idea right here!

I can see the commercial already.

"1 small island.
300 retarded kids (prefferably severe down syndrome)
50 randomly placed landmines and hidden shotguns for the kids to find.
What fun it will be to watch lots of sped kids kill and with a little luck rape each other, and then revert to cannabalism cause they have no food."
wow and whatever kid is left alive at the end gets to...i dunno talk to a coathangar or something.....

Then again isn't it along the same reason most ppl watch car racing? Waiting for a good crash? Good clean shows don't get the ratings. Just a mirror of today's value system or lack there of as demonstrated by the administration the last 8 years...

Should we fault FOX for wanting to make a buck off us sick perverts or fault the perverts.....

Then again I wonder if the whole "Temptation" isn't staged and they are going to laugh all the way to the bank

LOL!  I was just noticing Fox advertising NASCAR racing coming up.  The whole commercial was full of crashes.

I don't watch car racing for the crashes.  I watch it for the racing.

Arggg I hate TV people should spend more time learning, reading, and reliving history threw WWII mass multiplayer flight sims  

My personal opinion I hate amercian TV. I hate tv talk shows like Jerry springer, I hate those dating games where people date another person and then decide who they want to be with. I thought who wants to marry a millionare was sick. I thought servivors was stupid and low. Now this. God I wish peopl ewould stand up for thier morals if they have any. I wount watch it I will send the company a nasty letter.

God TV sucks Only star treck on is voyager. No wounder I like Anime (and no I don't watch hentia).
