Does Temptation Island make any sense? Not even a little bit, but I’m not sure it really matters all that much; the show could not be more captivating, though it does require a total suspension of disbelief. Temptation Islandoffers a trip to a tropical locale for couples who find themselves at a crossroads and wish to test their relationship. Four couples split up into two villas, one designated for the men and one for the women. Awaiting them at each villa are a dozen singles of the opposite sex, with whom they will cohabitate, party, and prove (or disprove) their loyalty to their partners. Viewers are asked to believe that these couples are genuinely coming to Temptation Island to improve their relationship and that singles are on the show earnestly looking for love with someone who is currently in a failing relationship. I’m far from convinced that any part of this is remotely real.
