 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!!

The only part of the race where I like to see a crash is if #24 is involved.    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.

I don't even need to watch one second Temptation Island to know it is probably the most asinine idea ever conceived by a human being on the planet Earth.

 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
