From Fox TV: The next wave of reality television is here! Following the success of Survivor and The Real World comes a provocative new series on FOX. Temptation Island is a provocative new reality-based show produced by Rocket Science Laboratories. Four unmarried, but seriously committed, couples at a crossroads in their relationship and 30 singles that are looking for love travel to an exotic location to test the waters of temptation. The couples, who are willing to test their relationships, will be set up on a variety of dates with three of the singles that best reflect their ideal mate. After two weeks of exploring the single world again, the couples will have to decide between a possible new love interest and their old flame. I think the key words are "temptation" and "test" due to their over-use. Bart Simpson said it best, "We'll sell it to Fox. They'll buy anything." ------------------ The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being. - Lao-Tzu [This message has been edited by Jeff (edited December 17, 2000).]

LOL ------------------ Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!
That's the worst show ever? Not even close. My vote goes to "Talented Australian Basketball Stars." Let's hear it for a full hour of Luc Longley! ------------------
I don't know what about 36 hours of Tony Danza! ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams fan club. Web site coming soon atheistalliance.org

How about a soon to be ex-President as weekly talk show host? www.drudgereport.com/matt.htm ------------------
yeah yeah rascal, do a comparison on sports, maybe shall we say success at the Olympics when you consider the difference in population size, do so and you find us minnows down under kick the big U S of A butt big time..... ------------------ "What is it with this girl, has she got beer flavoured nipples??" - Heath Ledger in 10 things I hate about you
rascal, As bad as "Talented Australian Basketball Stars" was, it was nowhere near as bad as "Conceited immature American NBA players whoop it up like 10 year olds in the playground at Sydney Olympics" ------------------ Maybe all the rulers are wrong. Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info
I saw a commercial for that show recently, Jeff, and it made me angry. What a disgusting concept. I feel especially sorry for anyone involved with that show, for not having more respect for the idea of love.
When I saw that commercial the first thing I thought of was a friend of mine that would be flirting with the captains all the way to the island. ------------------ Agent [This message has been edited by Agent86 (edited December 19, 2000).]

How do you get your obviously vapid, amoral spouse to agree to go on the show in the first place? You: "Honey, I've been thinking. I know we say we love each other a lot of times, and you're a pretty decent lay. How about we prove our love to the whole world?" Her: "Tee hee. You mean with a tattoo?" You: "Already got one of those on my ass. No, I was thinking of going on TV on this new Fox show." Her: "Tee hee. Not one of those boring political shows!" You: "Uh no, it's called Temptation. Basically they ship us to this tropical island with three other couples, they strip off most of our clothes and encourage us to act in a suitably lusty way, and they surround us with 26 single people whose sole mission is to seduce one or both of us. If we resist the TEMPTATION, we win like money or something." Her: "Tee hee. OK!" I hope this island is home to some yet-undiscovered disease that rots off a person's most visible extremeties. These people should be marked in a way that easily identifies them, and a big scarlet A would be too passe.
The BK Broiler at it again....love that sarcasm! The show idea is terrible. But it cold make for some interesting watching when there are no NBA games on. Davo, the gold medal count for the basketball games in Sydney is as follows: Americans = 1 Aussies = 0 Why keep bringing it up? ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
The problem is it is so raunchy and so ridiculous that everyone will have to check it out and the ratings will be sky high. How else do you explain in the past FOX actually making a huge dent in the ratings of NBC's "Must-See" TV with shows like, "Real Live Police Chases" and "When Good Pets Go Bad"? You have to love one of the original episodes of "Family Guy" that did the parody of Fox reality show with: "Fast Animals, Slow Children" Showing the tiger running fast then cutting over to the little plump boy trying to catch up to his friends, then saying, "Oh my god I just spilled honey all over my legs!" -- was priceless. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
I actually watch that World's Wildest Police Chases show sometimes. It's actually on Friday night now, though (so it isn't competing with Must See TV! It's competing with The Fugitive and Two Guys and a Girl). I don't imagine I'll be watching this show, though. I'm still waiting for the show where they chain five guys to a girl (or vice versa) and have them all hang around together for several days. I just want to see what the point is of that show, though (as in, what is the object of the "game"). It's coming soon on UPN! ------------------ Houston Sports Board The Anti-Bud Adams Page
It's not as bad to me now that I know that they aren't married. However, you have to look at it like these people don't have any idea about love if they even consider going on this show. Love is so much more than sex. ------------------ "He was under more balls than a midget hooker."-Bobby Hill visit www.swirve.com and, http://www.geocities.com/clutch34_2000 for great Rocket insight by some of your fellow BBS posters!
