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! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

The Fox Network stated that this show is not about sex.
Yeah, right! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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.

TheWobble that was a bad John Wayne impersonation.

TV just doesn't offer much today. I hardly watch it anymore. Would like to see reruns of "Have Gun Will Travel".
-
1776, I have every episode in a boxed set,
long live Palidin!
-
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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

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 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
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).

I don't watch anything on TV but Discovery, Wings Discovery, Fox news Network,History channel and sporting events. Everything else sucks.
-
Well Rip, I agree but I gotta add StarTrek Voyager, Seven of Nine is not to be missed!
SOB, I think you ain't drinkin' enuff beer.
Wobble, you have a dark sense of humor, I like it.
Sure AKDjV, and we all buy Playboy for the articles.
Eagler, I think you hit the nail.
The show will be a massive hit, sad commentary indeed on us.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

Here's an example of Army marketing. They are showing new commercials soon for young adults to join the Army, and targeted audiences are the following TV shows:
"Friends"
"The Simpsons"
"Buffy, the Vampire Slayer"

-
I never even heard of the show. It sound like true trash. America you gotta love it! Now why can't we here in the good old USA do a Junkyard Wars? (I understand thats a British production) Because the general public doesn't want to think any deeper than there crotch! Excuse me, but I could go on and on and on about this. I don't mind sitcoms, some are quite funny. But this so called "real" TV makes me sick.
-
Heh, how freakin' absurd. But if people tune in... :::shrugs:::
Alright, this is a blatant hijacking of the thread for humorous purposes. What do you think will be next years hit Fox show?
My entries...
Custodians
A gritty, ultra-realistic documentary show starring New York's garbage collectors. Follow in their footsteps as they wage war on the nation's toughest trash. Theme song will be AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds (done dirt cheap)".
Who Wants To Marry A Billionaire And Spend Their Honeymoon On Temptation Isle?!
The season begins when four Billionaires (Donald Trump, Steve Forbes, Ross Perot and Michael Dell) start bidding on the rights to marry one of four silicon-optimized beauties. Once they are all married off, the happy newlyweds are all placed on Temptation Isle for their honeymoon. While there, the Billionaires all toss insane ammounts of money at each others brides, attempting to entice them into threesomes and orgies. The season ends with a surprise twist when Donald Trump winds up sleeping with Ross Perot for 265 million dollars.

Lance, now we're talking! That's quality TV. I think both would be more socially enlightening. I think the surprise twist should be shown at grade schools so that kids know that the rich will pay for an alternative life style.
Must see TV in my book. Two thumbs up!
-
Sure AKDjV, and we all buy Playboy for the articles.
Believe what you want. People don't race to crash.. they race to win. There will always be people waiting for a wreck.. but there will aslo be those waiting for a great pass. SCCA/IMSA-GT/Camel and such are some of the most fun to watch. Just pure racing... little else except the occasional spinout.

What amazes me about shows like "Temptation Isle" is that I don't know a single person that is willing to watch it/them. However, I'm sure it will get good ratings. It just makes my world seem a little smaller.

remember the movie "running man" ?

No but I remember the TV show Run for your life with Ben Gazara. Any connection? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) lol
-

Yep.. but I remember the book too.
The movie was hollywood thinking they made the difference. The book said otherwise.

It's a sad commentary on society. However, no one is holding a gun to the heads of the couples appearing on the show. I won't watch it, but I'm sure it will get it's ratings.I'm with Rip, if I happen to be in front of the TV, it's tuned to Discovery, History, etc. Been watching the Junkyard Wars on TLC past few weeks.

This is the sleaziest idea to come to TV in a long time.
There is no way in hell that I would watch it.
The very concept is abhorant to me.

"My personal opinion I hate amercian TV"
Dont get me started on the bizzarre toejam I saw while I was in Europe, apparently in France, it is just dandy to show naked people in every single commrecial no matter what the product, kinda simple minded marketing...at least ours is evil (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
The networks only show us what we want to see. They do extensive market research to determine with high degree of accuracy that they will not lose money. That is why they do not have that many original ideas.

-
I think the Network's angle is basically this
"our viewers are sick stupid diddlys that get a kick out of watching people suffer, as long as there is some tits and bellybutton along with it"
and thus we have "temptation isle"
-
I think it is incredibly offending that they target only the males in the show. They don't talk about half naked guys prancing about on the island to seduce the females. This show obviously must have been thought out by females 'cuz men are such disgusting evil bastards who can't stay in a relationship. I mean come on!!! I'm sure (gasp) that women cheat on men too. Anyone else catch that?

Wait! A TV show about where a longtime girlfriend sleeping with another man! Sounds like my love life before I met my wife!
I should watch the show. Some of my ex-girlfriends are probably on it!
I watch West Wing. So I guess I'll have to tape it!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The only part of the race where I like to see a crash is if #24 is involved. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) I cant stand that little bastige.

"Temptation Island" is sick. I couldn't imagine wanting to watch it. The "contestants" must either be incredibly stupid, or looking for an easy way to get laid.
My girlfriend wanted to watch it. She thought it might be "interesting". The concept of that TV show is so disgusting to me that I told her I would break up with her if she watched it. Foutunately, she didn't call my bluff (I wouldn't actually leave her over a TV show) and I didn't have to be subjected to that awful slop FOX calls a TV show.
"Temptation Island" reminds me why my TV usually sits in the corner unplugged, gathering dust. The TV shows available aren't worth the electricity the TV uses.

#24 is the car I target every time I play NASCAR Racing '99. I see him, he goes bye-bye! I remember when he "winked out" rounding turn 4 at Texas and hit the wall, totaling his car. This was during a pace lap! My neighbor was over at my place watching it with me, and we both cracked up laughing! My neighbor asked me "Maybe he was figurin' his take from his Pepsi commercials in the car?".
I spit soda all over the floor.

Yea baby YEA!
A buddy told me that survivor was voyeurism without the sex. I guess FOX figures if survivor got the ratings it did without...
I didnt watch survivor and DEFINATLY wont watch this. I basicly watch same things as rip, cept news, I get that off the radio and have to add ST voyager...only 11 new episodes left till series finally (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
