Temptation Island (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
Four couples
who are at a crossroads
in their relationships have
decided to embark on a journey
to answer the question,
are we meant to be together?
Is he the right person
that I'm supposed to be with
for the rest of my life?
This is an ultimate test
to see if
we're really meant
to be together.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me be the first
to welcome you
to "Temptation Island."
- Cheers, guys.
- Cheers to "Temptation Island."
So you've agreed
to go on a journey...
A journey where you're
gonna date other people.
Standing in front of you
are 24 single men and women,
all here for one reason...
That's to find love.
This is huge. I'm putting
a lot on the line for this.
Let's be best friends
and maybe even lovers.
- It's crazy.
Like, we're basically single,
and these girls are confident.
They're ready to get my guy,
and my guy's fricking hot.
- I have to propose or...
- Wow.
She's gonna leave me.
I love my girl. I love her.
Sounds like that one's
a hard one to love.
Did we make the right decision
coming here?
I have no idea.
It's a fantasy experience
that will answer
their ultimate question...
Should we really be together,
or is there someone out there
better for me?
Come hang out with me.
I never thought I'd put
my relationship
in jeopardy like this.
Just having to face him
for the first time
is just gonna crush me.
- I finally have clarity.
I can... ing see.
"Temptation Island"
got the best of me,
and then it turned me
into a monster.
How is this happening?
I thought we were strong
enough to go into this.
If he participated in
something, I'm done. I'm done.
Here on "Temptation Island."
You're not gonna tempt me.
- Hello. Hi.
- Hi, guys.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Shari?
- Shari. Nice to meet you.
- Are you ready for this?
- Not really. It's happening.
You ready for me to date girls?
- Yes, we're on the same page.
- I love it.
We talked game plan.
As long as we're on
the same page.
Rules.
- Cheers.
- Cheers, guys.
I think our love will outlast
"Temptation Island."
There might be
some ups and downs,
but I think we'll make it
through.
Yeah, I don't think this
can break us.
I think it would just
make us stronger.
You've only been with one man
since you were 16.
I know. Aah!
- I'm Javen.
- I'm Shari,
and we've been together
for eight years.
We've been dating
since we were 16,
and when we were about 20,
it just became really serious.
She's my first, like,
real, authentic girlfriend
in high school, and the only
girlfriend I've had
since high school.
But, like, he's my best friend,
and I don't feel like anybody
could really take the place
in my heart
that I have for Javen.
So we've been living together
for the past five years,
and I just don't wanna feel like
we're rushing into a marriage
at 25
just because we've been together
since we were 16.
You're ready to...
to take this on?
- I'm ready.
We have our reservations,
though.
- Yeah.
- Why we are doing this
in... in, you know...
I caught him cheating
a few years ago,
but at the same time,
I just want him to prove to me
that he's actually
officially changed,
'cause there is still
reservations there for sure.
I'm making myself volatile
through this, you understand?
I don't wanna take any risks.
- You don't think I am,
especially with, like, your
past, and, like, everything?
- Yeah, my past.
That's why I'm trying to prove
that I'm different from my past.
- Yeah.
You know, in the past,
I was tempted.
I've grown. I'm mature.
I'm just gonna go through this,
confident in myself,
and just show her
that I'm, you know,
I'm... I can fight temptation.
I'm not gonna be able
to touch your body
- or see you for a month?
- Stop.
- Gosh.
- Well, no one else is.
- Yeah.
- Touch my body.
I'll get so hot,
somebody touch your ass.
So this is gonna suck
not being together.
You know, it's gonna be hard.
- I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm John.
- And I'm Kady.
We have been together
for nearly three years,
and we actually met on Bumble,
which is a dating app.
We joke and say, "Oh, we should
just tell people we met
at Trader Joe's."
Pull.
- We have a great relationship.
- Whoo-hoo!
This is a real short barrel,
too,
so that makes it harder, right?
Don't make excuses about
your short barrel.
I grew up around
more traditional men,
kind of more
of a cowboy attitude,
and John isn't so much
the mold that I was used to.
Ha ha, you missed.
Ah.
This is exactly the type
of thing
that, you know,
I want us to do more,
and I want you to do.
Kady questions my masculinity
a couple times a week.
She says she wants, like,
an alpha male,
like, a Southern gentleman,
and I'm definitely
not that type.
I'm very humble.
And so I hope that she realizes
that when she's on the island,
how good a guy I am and how,
you know, I really love her,
and that maybe I am
this dream man.
I would say this experience,
you know,
will really give us time
to reflect
on our relationship and if we're
really meant to be together.
- Love you.
- Be closer after all this.
That's right.
- Well, I love you.
- I love you, too. Cheers, baby.
- My name is Karl.
- And I'm Nicole,
and we've been dating
for two and a half years.
Nicole and I first met
at the gym.
I was like, "Man,
she works out. Fitness girl."
Beautiful. I was blown away.
At the time, I had a boyfriend,
so it didn't progress
super fast.
Through the first year
of our relationship,
the love from Karl I've never
experienced before in my life.
I don't ant you to be thinking
about any of these ladies
in a certain type of way because
you're coming home to me.
I believe we both have
some trust issues.
When I met her, she had
a boyfriend at the time,
and she broke up with him.
In my head, like, all right,
if she can do it to him,
it could happen to me as well.
- I'm kinda nervous about that.
- Yeah.
Especially if they're gonna
have a lot of women around you.
What I'm most nervous about
is Karl connecting with a woman
on a different level
than he connects with me.
Our age gap and the maturity
is a big difference
in our relationship,
and I think if he was to meet
somebody that was older,
it can happen, so that's
definitely nerve-racking.
- What could go wrong?
- What could go wrong?
A lot could go wrong.
- You know...
- Take advantage of it.
Do what you gotta do.
Figure it out.
- Do what you gotta do.
- I love you. Mmm!
I love you.
- I'm Kaci.
- And I'm Evan.
We have been dating
on and off for 10 years
and exclusive for five.
We met when we were
19 years old,
and it was very on and off.
We tried dating.
He was in college,
playing basketball,
doing that
whole single boy thing.
Whoo!
Marriage to me
is really important.
My family's religious.
They don't like the fact
that we're living together
and we're not married.
- We're living in sin.
- And it's been years.
"Living in sin."
This is not what I had planned
for my daughter.
- She's amazing.
- Yeah.
I just wish you guys
could understand
that I value that question
so much
that I will not ask it
until I know
that I can take care
of your daughter.
Yeah, my dad cheated on my mom,
and it led him down the road
to actually be murdered
by the woman that he was
cheating with's husband.
It rocked me to my core,
you know?
I love the idea of my marriage,
right?
I want to spend the rest
of my life with Kaci,
and I'm scared that I can...
That I'm gonna hurt you
like my dad hurt my mom
and for my...
But you're not going to.
Commit to me, Evan.
I'm not asking for a lot.
If I don't propose to her
before 30,
then she will leave me.
I can't get my boyfriend
to marry me,
there's a million dudes
out there
that are gonna ask me
to marry them.
- I already love this woman.
I already live with this woman.
You know? I don't understand
what difference it would make
if there was a ring
on her finger.
I think this is an experience
for couples
that are at a crossroads,
and we could not be
at more of a crossroads.
- Right.
- This is it.
Like, we're going on this
to basically be together
or start new lives.
I'm seeing Mark at shore
kinda waving us down,
and I'm thinking about
just jumping off the boat
and swimming
the other direction.
My nerves are definitely
going crazy right now.
- Welcome, you guys!
- Hi! So excited and nervous.
- I'm Mark.
- Evan. Nice to meet you.
I know who you are. Hi, Kaci.
- Hi. I'm Kaci.
Nice to meet you.
- Welcome, you guys.
- We're stoked.
- Let's get the rest of you guys
off the boat. We'll get started.
- Sounds good.
We are actually here,
"Temptation Island."
Unreal.
- I know. It's insane.
I can't believe it.
- Nice to meet you, Mark.
I'm Javen.
- Hi, Javen.
We've been expecting you.
- I'm Shari.
- Yes. Hi, Shari.
I'm feeling pretty confident
in my relationship,
but there's also that side of me
that's a little anxious
and nervous on what's to come.
- All right, Karl, welcome.
Glad to have you here.
- Nicole.
- Nicole.
- Nice to meet you.
- How you feeling?
- I'm nervous.
- Good. That's good.
I've invested two and a half
years into Karl and I,
and he's genuinely
my first love,
and I'm, you know,
putting myself out there
to kind of risk that
either going good or bad.
- John.
- Hi, John.
We've been expecting you,
of course.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.
- Hi. How are you? I'm Kady.
- Hi, Kady.
It's nice to be confident
and be like,
"Oh, yeah, we got this."
But I don't know.
Do we got this? I don't know.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me be the first to welcome
you to "Temptation Island."
- Let's go.
- I'm excited.
- Should we get to it?
- Let's do it.
- Yeah.
- Let's do it.
- Let's go.
- Let's do this.
- No turning back now.
- You look beautiful as ever.
I love your dress and your body.
I feel like this whole
experience is more of a test
to see, can we handle
being on our own,
or will Javen fold
under the pressure?
- Are you nervous?
- I'm excited and nervous.
Are you more excited
or more nervous?
- I'm freaking out.
I'm kinda wondering
what the hell we signed up for
and what's gonna happen,
what to expect.
Did we make
the right decision coming here?
I have no idea.
I'm happy to be here,
but I definitely know
that things are at stake, like,
I could lose Karl for sure.
- I'm excited.
It's a nice little house.
- This is so cute.
- I'm just scared of the unknown
because my girlfriend's
never dated anyone,
and I've never dated anyone
besides that,
so this is gonna be
an interesting thing.
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
This house is insane,
and it definitely makes me
nervous. I have butterflies.
- Yeah, no, butterflies...
I have pterodactyls.
- It's insane.
- Pterodactyls.
- Well, we made it.
What do you think of the place?
Nice, huh?
- Amazing.
I guess to start things off,
I'd like to offer you a toast.
So, everybody, grab a glass,
if you would. I'll fill the ones
that aren't filled.
All right, guys,
we started this thing.
Why don't you stand
and join me and raise a glass?
- Absolutely.
- And here's a toast
I wanna offer you...
Here's to you
finding the answers
you're seeking
to the questions
that you're asking.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
Good way to start the trip.
- Sit and relax.
How you feeling?
It hasn't felt real till now.
Definitely freaking out
a little bit.
Well, I can assure you that
you definitely don't know
what you've signed up for.
- Oh, God, Oh, no.
- Ugh! See?
But that's not necessarily
a bad thing.
You made the choice to come here
to the island
because you've all admitted that
you're at a crossroads, right?
That each of you have said
that you have questions
about your relationships.
- Yeah.
And you're hoping that
you'll find the answers
to those questions here.
So you've agreed to go
on a journey...
A journey where you're gonna
date other people, simply put.
Hopefully, that will help you
figure out
the most important question...
Whether you guys are meant
to be together or not.
Coming here was mainly my idea,
and I never thought
in a million years,
like, Evan would be okay
with it,
but this could be the best thing
to ever happen to us.
When you made the choice
to come here,
what did you hope to gain?
Like, what are you hoping
to gain?
I feel like I'm on a path
of redemption.
I've cheated on my girlfriend
in the past,
and so I'm kinda here to kinda,
like, you know, make a mark
and just show her
that I've changed
and for myself as well.
- I just wanna confirm
that he has changed.
I mean, we're 25 now.
The mistakes happened
when he was 18, 19.
I feel like I do trust him,
but I feel like
this is gonna make me
trust him even more,
make our bond
that much stronger.
What are you feeling
right now, John?
- I'm feeling a lot.
My... My biggest fear, obviously,
is... is if she finds country...
Country boy, that she's gonna...
fall in love with
since I'm the city slicker.
- We have one life to live.
I don't wanna waste it
on the wrong person,
and you don't either.
Hopefully, you know,
if we were meant to be,
then it'll drive me
closer to him
and drive us closer together.
I think it's a necessary pain.
Everything is at risk by
going through this experience.
My entire future is at risk.
- Hi, Ev. Hi, Kaci.
- What's up?
Hi.
Why are you here?
We're both 28 now,
and I just think
we're just kind of stuck,
to be honest.
Like, it's lots of mixed
signals. It's lots of, like,
"You're the only girl
I ever wanna be with.
I would never marry
anyone else,"
but then it's like,
"I don't wanna get engaged.
I don't wanna get married,"
so it's like...
And that, to you,
is like a mixed signal.
We've been in each other's lives
for, like, almost a decade.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It's, like, it's time.
- Yeah.
Either we get married
or I need to find someone
that wants to be with me.
I don't understand why
what we have isn't
good enough for now.
You know, it's great.
You know, what she wants
is a piece of paper
and a diamond, you know?
I... I just don't understand
why... why it has to be that.
What's your fear, Nicole?
Um, I am nervous that Karl
may connect with a woman
on a level that he doesn't
necessarily connect with me on.
Karl's 31, and I'm 25,
so there's kind of
a little bit of an age gap.
Karl, are you, um,
do you agree this maturity gap
that she speaks of
is an issue for you guys?
We're here to make sure
this is the right...
is the right thing.
Will we know that just
from this?
Maybe, maybe not, but it'll
definitely be another step
to strengthen it.
- Yeah.
- Got you.
And I appreciate
that straight answer.
And that's real talk.
- That's real talk.
- So, uh,
what'd you think of the house
when you walked up?
Gorgeous.
- Amazing.
- It was, like,
it surpassed what I imagined.
Yeah, it's pretty magical,
you know?
- Yeah.
- Well, let me let you know that
this is home... for you boys.
- I knew it!
- Ahh!
- Aw.
- Yeah. Nice.
The blue vibe. Blue and green.
I love Kaci,
but I was worried, you know?
Kaci was actually gonna be
in the same house as me.
Whoo! That just saved...
That saved the day.
Saved "Temptation Island"
for me for sure.
- So where are we staying?
- Yeah, where are we?
We've got a place for you guys
to stay as well.
Would you like to see it?
- Yes!
- I think you're gonna like it.
Why don't you follow me?
Guys, you come, too.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah, let's do this.
Now knowing that we're
gonna be separated soon,
I'm getting a little nervous.
Feel like the pressure's on,
and we will be tempted,
and it is a true test
to our relationship,
true test to myself,
so it will be interesting
to see what happens.
- Come on in, you guys.
- Wow.
- Follow me.
- It is so pretty.
Wow. Look at this place.
Look at y'all. Look at y'all.
- Not bad, huh?
- Not bad at all.
This is the women's villa.
The four of you
will be living here.
Yay!
What do you think?
- Love.
- Beautiful.
- You like it?
- Think it'll do.
- It'll do?
- It's amazing.
Well, we've only just begun
to show you this place.
You haven't seen
all of the features.
I've got something really cool
I wanna show you.
- You'd like to see?
- Yes.
- Yeah!
- All right. I'll be right back.
You guys, I'm stoked
on that house.
More room for muscles?
"More room for muscles"?
- Oh, my gosh.
This is absolutely insane.
- Oh, shit.
- Whoo.
- Okay.
- Oh.
- Oh!
- What is going on now?
- Shut up.
- Oh, shit.
Stop.
My God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, yeah.
- Right? We're all, like,
sizing each other up.
It's crazy.
I hope you're ready
'cause standing in front of you
are 24 eligible single
men and women,
but they're all here
for one reason...
That's to find love.
Hopefully, they're gonna
help you realize
whether your partner's
the one for you or not.
Tomorrow, you'll have a chance
to get to know them a
little bit better, but right now
I just wanted you
to get a chance to see them
and let them introduce
themselves to you,
because your journey begins...
right now.
Uh, not too impressed.
Oof.
- Sorry, not sorry.
- Heat immediately. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
You guys ready?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Hi, guys. I'm Hannah,
and I'm an entrepreneur,
which means I have a lot
of hustle.
When I see something I like,
I go after it.
Right now I like what I see.
They're trouble, girl.
I'm Johnny. I'm a chiropractor
from New York City.
I great with my hands,
always have your back,
and I'm here to find love.
I like him.
No adjustments from him.
- Oh, my God.
- Maybe I'm screwed.
- Hey, guys.
My name is Jeffri.
I'm a flight attendant,
and I've traveled
all over the world,
but I've yet to find love.
I'm hoping landing
on this island changes that.
Not having it.
I think so, too.
Hey, I'm James.
I'm a VP
of a computer and design firm.
I'm respectful. I'm faithful.
I'm basically husband material.
And I'm ready to find a woman
to be my wife.
- I'm Britt.
I'm from Venice, California.
I love life. I teach yoga,
and what's also important to me
is a spiritual connection.
- She's cute.
- I like her, too.
Hi. I'm Allie
from Fort Lauderdale.
I have a master's
in communications,
so I've mastered the art
of persuasion.
But don't let my degrees
fool you.
I know how to have a great time.
Persuasion. Butt cheeks out.
I guess that's her way.
Is that funny?
The fact that she was laughing
is to hide that she is
very intimidated.
I think that she can't handle
beauty and brains.
Mm-hmm.
Women are vicious.
- Hi, guys. My name is Kayla.
I'm a sales supervisor
and in control at work.
I'm on the island
to take control of my love life,
and I'm looking for a man
to be my partner.
That is confident.
Man, you're friendly
with these girls. Okay? Dang.
- I'm secure in myself. What?
- Okay.
It's all good.
- Hello, beautiful ladies.
I'm Roman, a Southern gentleman
who likes to ride motorcycles.
I look forward to bringing some
good old-fashioned excitement
into your life.
There's your country boy
right there, babe.
Hey, guys, my name's Morgan.
I'm a real estate agent,
and when I find something
I like,
I know how to close the deal.
She's cute.
She's very cute.
- How you guys doing?
I'm Tyler. I'm from New York.
And one thing I do know how
to do is win.
I'm here to win
one of you guys over.
Step it up, guys.
- Hola, chicas.
Mi nombre es Carlos.
I was born in Cuba.
For me, life is an adventure,
and I don't want
to go on it alone.
I'm looking for the right girl
to take the ride with me.
- Yo gusta.
- What does that mean?
"I like."
Hey, guys. I'm Sheldyn.
I'm sorry to break
the news to you ladies,
but odds are one of your guys
is gonna fall for me.
That's hilarious. Oh, my God.
That's, like, the funniest joke
I've heard.
She's so insecure.
She's no nervous.
Hi, guys. My name is Val,
and I'm from Brooklyn, New York,
and I'm a mama's boy,
and the only thing
that she taught me
is how to treat a lady right.
That's the only thing
she taught him?
A real important thing.
Hey, y'all, I'm Kathryn.
I'm from Nashville.
I'm a Southern belle
loaded with ambition,
and right now,
I know exactly what I want.
This whole lineup
is horrible for men.
I'm feeling for you guys.
Oh, so you think
it's good for you?
I didn't say anything like that.
So why wouldn't you say
it was horrible for you, too?
- Are you serious?
Like, you're my girlfriend.
I'm not worried about no one.
- Then why'd you say that?
I mean, if you're, like,
if you're accusing me
of being attracted to people,
I'm not.
Let's just get through this.
- I'm not worried about nobody.
Okay, so don't...
Don't put stuff in my mouth,
any ideas in my head
that's not there.
I don't know what's wrong
with you.
Are you kidding me?
She's scary.
Mm-hmm.
Same with me.
The guy up top to the right,
he was just entire time
looking down.
That's a sign of weakness,
my man.
The troops are coming in, pal,
and you better watch out.
You better not cry.
And I'll tell you why,
'cause Val's in town.
Hm. How you doing?
Hard to make a first impression,
and that's all tonight's about,
is a chance for you to get
to meet these people.
I thank you.
You did a great job.
Head on out and have
a good evening.
Thank you.
What were you saying about me?
It just doesn't matter
anymore. It's over now.
Is anyone else scared
of that bitch?
Oh, hell.
- I'm not impressed by any...
Anyone here.
Now you say it.
She's so scary.
Here's what I'll say
to you guys.
These 12 men and these 12 women
were chosen not randomly.
They were chosen specifically
for you.
This experience really depends
on you opening yourselves up
to each one of them
and letting them get to know
the real you.
Now let's talk about tonight.
Tonight...
you'll all be separated.
- Say good night.
It is not goodbye.
And I'll see you guys tomorrow.
- All right.
I'll see you in the morning.
- I love you.
- Okay.
- Act like you you li...
You love me, at least.
Smile. Be confident.
- Take your own evidence.
- You're the queen that you are.
- Take your... I am the queen.
- Okay, then act like it then.
- But I'm arguing with you.
I don't care. I'm not worried
about the singles.
I'm confident as ever.
- Okay. Don't mention it then.
- Okay.
- Love each other.
It's gonna be the last night.
Love each other.
Love each other.
These are still our last few
moments together,
and you're, like,
you're carrying this on.
I know my girl,
and she knows me.
If I feel a certain way,
I'm gonna express myself
If she feels the same way, she's
gonna express herself to me.
We've been together
for almost nine years.
This is us. I love her.
That's my baby girl.
That's my girl for life.
Waking up this morning
was a little bittersweet for me
because I wasn't too happy
with how me and Javen left
each other yesterday.
Because you, like,
got me started.
- Okay, okay. No, no, no, no.
- Let me say one thing.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
- Good morning.
- How are we doing?
- Good.
- Pretty good.
- You look rested.
- Yes.
- Got a little sleep.
- I didn't sleep
that well, actually.
I had a lot on my mind.
I felt like we had, like,
unfinished business,
and I wanted to, like, text him
and be like,
"Hey, what the hell
was that about?"
You guys were in it last night.
- Yeah.
- How were you feeling
after having met the singles?
Well, we just thought the guys
were acting like
a bunch of nervous pussies.
So... so...
- Last night was just about
first impressions.
Some of those were accurate.
Some of them might have left
a little meat on the bone.
Gentlemen, come on in.
You look well-rested.
I didn't expect this.
I didn't think we were gonna
have to see these guys again,
at least, like,
not this morning
when I'm with my girl.
Wow, we can see 'em
so much better
now that we're, like, up close.
Actually, they've been
kinda busy pulling together
a cocktail party.
- Oh.
And so, gentlemen, if you
would escort our ladies,
you're gonna head back up to
the mountain villa right now...
- Oh, my God.
- Where you guys will have
a chance to get to know
one another a little bit.
- Sounds good.
- Ladies...
- Hello. Love you.
- Oh, you're coming back here.
- Hi.
- Hi. Let's go.
He came in, just literally
in front of me,
took her hand
and pulled her away.
I mean, I thought
it was bullshit.
Nah, bro.
- There was a lot of you guys.
I don't really remember.
Honestly, I'm kinda upset
seeing Nicole walking away
with these guys. Maybe later
that picture will go away,
and I'll be able to have
some more fun,
but that's just something
I can't forget.
Stunned you a little bit
by having those single guys
come in,
but I'm not gonna leave you
sitting here alone,
so let's bring in some ladies
for you to get to know.
- Oh, you shouldn't have.
- Hello!
- Here we go. All right, babe.
Take care.
First time with all
the single guys.
We're having a good time.
Conversation seems
really natural.
He gave me
a little pink umbrella.
They're hot.
I feel the hormones here
kicking in.
- I know, right?
- Yeah.
My name is Carlos. I was
born and raised in Cuba,
and I currently live
in Houston, Texas.
- Carlos. Carlos.
- Carlos.
- Carlos, yeah. There you go.
- Kady.
- Kady.
- Yes.
- Nice to meet you, Kady.
- Nice to meet you.
He seems very deep
and very passionate.
- Yeah, yeah.
- My boyfriend is not.
I come from a culture
where we open doors.
We treat a woman with respect.
You need someone that will
go along with you
and get out of your daily life.
- Yeah.
I like to make the person
that I am with feel like they're
the only person in the world.
I feel that they're definitely
gonna fall for that.
Like, I learned so much
about you.
I know. I really hope I get to
definitely keep learning more.
- Hey.
- Hello.
A bunch of attractive
single ladies walk in,
and I feel like a lot of guys
are gonna relate to me going,
"Got this girlfriend
that will not stop,
you know, nagging on me,"
so fair game.
- Ladies, this house is yours.
Cocktail party is on.
And I'll catch up with you guys
later.
Let's go get some drinks!
Guys, let's do it.
Yeah.
I haven't been around,
you know, single girls like this
since, you know,
my college days, almost.
I'm like, I'm worrying
about Kaci.
I'm worried about me
and temptation.
- I'm Brittney.
- You're Brittney, right? Okay.
Nice to meet you. Yeah.
But I gotta be true
to myself, you know?
Kaci and I chose this,
and we're here.
It's time to get busy.
My heart's going
a little bit fast.
- Are you going?
- Yeah, just trying to breathe.
- I'm trying to breathe.
So let's do this together.
Big deep breath, okay?
- Should we?
- Yes.
- Okay, here, hold my hand.
- Ready? Ready?
- Close your eyes.
- It's better, right?
- That was nice.
- That's better, right?
- Yeah. You know, you can
literally control
your heart rate with breathing.
I mean, like, you're the yogi,
right?
- Where are you from?
- Well, I'm from L.A.,
but, you know, Agoura.
Agoura Hills.
- Yeah. Oh, my God.
I went to Agoura High School.
- Did you really?
- I swear to God.
- Oh, my God. That's...
- That's crazy.
It's scary to say, you know,
it's easier to take the plunge
into "Temptation Island"
than to take the plunge
into marriage.
I have to propose or...
- Wow.
- She's gonna leave me.
- What?
I'm a little anxious
to meet the singles
because I don't really know
what I'm walking into,
but they're here to impress me,
so it's gonna be up to them
and how comfortable
they make me feel.
This is just bizarre to me
that I'm even,
like, going through
with all this.
All I remember about you
is you said
you're not impressed.
I'm Dr. Johnny.
I'm from New York City.
I'm a chiropractor.
I'm 31 years old.
I'm here to find
my perfect match for my
soul mate and my best friend.
Are you just here to, like,
bring yourself up,
or are you actually
trying to meet us?
I-I'm here, right?
Whether it's a good thing
or bad thing,
you're gonna know exactly what
I'm thinking at all times,
so at least these women
will know
that I'm gonna be honest
with them.
I'm gonna be upfront with them,
and if they're getting games
at home, they're not gonna
get games with me.
- You're a little aggressive.
I'm like, calm down.
Some of the single guys kinda
made me feel
just a little uneasy,
but I'm open-minded
to this whole experience.
It's gonna take a lot for me
to get used to Javen
not being there.
- I mean, you're cute.
I like you.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Javen.
- Javen? That's a nice name.
I'm Jeffri.
- Jeffri? Okay.
- Yeah. Nice to meet you.
I am here in hopes to find
real love.
- I love my girl. I love her.
- I'm glad you do, honey,
'cause, whoo.
- I love her to pieces.
Sounds like that's a hard one
to love.
I think the girlfriend should
probably be a little concerned,
because I know what I want,
and I'm not afraid to go
after that.
That's kind of the theme
of my life.
First I'm-a compliment
your red dress, 'cause that...
Red is my color.
- Oh, is it?
- I wore it today.
We're matching today.
- Perfect.
- Yeah.
Sounds like a match
made in heaven to me.
- Standing talking to a wall.
- Hey.
Let's go over here
and have a drink.
Yeah, sure.
I think these men's minds
are going to be blown.
Going into waters that
are uncharted, you know?
Yeah, infested with sharks.
There's so much temptation
out there.
That's why you have
to take care of your man,
or you'll lose him.
Let's have fun.
Let's be friends.
- Okay.
- Let's be best friends.
- Yeah.
- And then maybe even lovers.
All right.
Definitely excited
about a date with her.
Does anyone wanna know
about me at all,
or like, what, attractions are?
Thanks, honey.
I'm here on "Temptation Island"
to find love,
but I think there's a lot
of strong personalities.
- So packaging.
- You get the Oreo.
You get the chocolate,
and you get the vanilla.
Okay, okay, all right.
So I definitely see
some people clashing.
- I don't know about you.
Like, that's...
That's what I'm gonna pursue,
bottom line.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hope you had a good time.
You having fun?
- Yeah!
- Everybody's getting along?
- Yeah!
All right. Unfortunately,
I've got a call an end
to the party,
'cause we've got some business
to take care of.
So let's all gather around here.
We don't know what's coming,
but I just know that
it's game on now,
and anything can happen.
- Hello, ladies.
- Hi!
Now that John and I are here,
it's really scary.
I feel like there was a lot
of girls
that I could see him
being physically attracted to.
I could see him liking
their personality.
So that's
a little nerve-racking.
Y'all in our house now.
Ooh.
- Already the smack talk starts.
- Oh, my God.
Well, the evening is waning,
so let's get down to business.
We have some business to handle
right now.
You good to do it?
- Let's do it.
Yeah, we're ready.
I have this box right here,
and in this box,
I have necklaces.
These necklaces simply
are for you to wear
while you're here on the island.
They correspond with your
partner's color of necklace
and just is a simple reminder
of your relationship, okay?
I think my biggest fear
has been and still is
that these women are gonna
be aggressive towards my man,
and I can't stop that.
- I have another necklace
to give you right now.
These are matching necklaces
to your color.
Each one of you can use this
to block a single
from dating your partner.
If you'd like to,
you'll simply place this
around the neck of the single
that you'd like to block
from dating your partner,
and then they will not
be allowed to date your partner
all the way through
the time on the island
up until the final dates,
where the blocks
will be removed.
Now just because they're blocked
doesn't mean they can't hang out
at the villa all they want.
They just simply can't be
chosen for a date. Understand?
So would any of you
like to use your block?
I do.
Oh, God.
Just go up to the girl
that you'd like to block
and give her the necklace
and put it around her neck.
Okay.
Here you go.
You called it. You did.
I knew you were gonna do that
to me. John.
Kathryn was the hottest
out of all of them.
It kinda make me feel like
Kady's now really
getting concerned.
- It's okay, John.
We'll still live together.
That's pretty true.
Southern girls
know Southern girls, don't they?
- That's right.
- Okay.
Guys, do any of you want
to use your block?
No.
Yes, I would like to.
Leapt right out of his chair.
- It's you, buddy.
- There you go, man.
I blocked Roman. She's a big
sucker for country boys.
I was like, all right, that's
a deal-breaker.
If anyone would like to use
their block,
this is your chance.
You all feel good
about your decisions?
- 100%.
- Yeah.
- Kaci?
- That's not why we came here.
We came here to date people.
Honestly, we came here
for the full experience,
and he would not be getting
the full experience
if I blocked one of them.
- Okay, very good.
I honor your choices,
and they will stay in place.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I thank you very much
for this evening.
Those of you who are wearing
a little extra jewelry,
um, consider it a compliment.
Game on.
- Game on, sista.
- Game on.
I'm definitely am
going to pretend
that this isn't even here,
and other than, you know,
obviously we can't date
outside of the house,
but that's not gonna stop me
inside the house.
There's nothing that's gonna
stop me from talking to him
or interacting with him
as if he was a boyfriend...
which he probably will be.
All right, we'll see
you guys later. Thank you.
You guys will hang out
a little bit.
I have a lovely dinner prepared
and we can hang out
and talk a little bit.
Sound good?
- Sounds great.
- Yes.
I'll be there
in a couple minutes, okay?
Sounds good.
- I blocked Kathryn.
She's got the fangs out,
and she's here to play dirty.
So I definitely made
the right decision
by blocking Kathryn.
Now this looks like
a lovely dinner...
Hi.
With some of my favorite people.
Can I join you?
- Please.
- Yeah.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. You look great.
A little more relaxed
than the last time I saw you.
- Big-time.
Anything you wanna share
that's on your mind
after having met the singles?
It's just wild to be put
in this situation, you know?
I've purposely kept myself
out of situations like this.
Well, that's Kaci's
sticking point.
- Yeah.
- She trusts you except
if you're in an environment
with alcohol and gorgeous girls.
- Yeah.
- I've grown.
- He really, truly has.
- I've become a man, you know?
And it's, uh, I mean,
I'm not gonna say it's
not a test, you know?
But I have... I have all
the confidence in the world
that I'm gonna pass it.
- Yeah.
But you know I'm not grading
any papers.
No, it's not you. It's this
one's grading the papers.
- No.
- Well, we definitely
found out today I think
the guys can say this, too,
that those girls
were pretty aggressive.
- I think the men were pretty...
They were okay
when it came
to the cocktail setting.
I mean, they made...
We were all nervous.
They wanna get to know us,
but they were respectful
about it.
We'll say most of them
were respectful about it.
I had a guy who was actually
angry, and, like, aggressive
towards me.
- In what way?
He just seemed kind of, like,
angry, like,
"Why are you here then?
Like, what do you...
"Like, what do you need to know
if you've been with your man
for eight years?"
It was kind of like...
And I called him out on it.
And he's douchey. He's so
douchey. Like... Oh, my God.
- I'm saying it.
I'm saying it now.
When I asked you,
you didn't say anything.
I just didn't think about it
until she brought it up.
The element that I am gonna
keep bringing up to you guys
is the element
of the lightning strike.
When I met my wife,
I locked eyes, and I went,
"Oh, God, my number's up,
and I don't even want it
to be up," right?
That's like my dad and mom.
And there's nothing you can do
about that.
So, Javen, what happens if
you're like,
"I'm all about Shari.
I'm all about Shari,"
and then one of these girls,
like, kapow,
and the lightning hits you?
You prepared for that?
I don't think any girl can
flip me off my feet
at this point in my life,
I don't think ever.
I'm pretty solid
in my relationship.
All right. That... That said,
all of you are here
because there are some blind
spots in your relationship.
In other words,
Shari is your everything,
but you wouldn't be here
if there weren't some things
that weren't fiery.
Unfortunately, dinner is over.
This is the last time
you'll be together
until you leave the island.
Really?
And it's for real,
for real this time?
- It's for real, for real.
- For real, for real.
- Whoa.
- Wow.
And if that's not
heavy enough for you,
there's a very real possibility
that for some of you guys,
this is goodbye... forever.
Ah.
- That's a big word.
That's a big word.
I suggest you say everything
you're afraid to say
to one another right now as if
you are never getting
a chance to say it again.
I'll see you in 10 minutes.
Good luck.
I love you.
You're my best friend
in the whole, wide world.
Have fun but keep figuring out
yourself without me.
Mmm!
I love you.
- I love you, babe.
You're my best friend
in the whole, wide world.
- You're my bestie.
- You're my bestie.
- You're my person.
You're my everything.
- We'll be fine, baby.
- I love you so much.
I love you.
- You're my baby.
- You're my bang.
- My...
- My bing.
My bing bang.
I'm sitting on the couch.
There's, like, six guys
sitting there.
- I know... I know how...
- Okay, but you tell me
you want me to explain, and I'm
painting the picture for you.
- I was just giving you...
- So stop cutting me off.
- Dialogue. I was responding.
- Stop cutting me off.
Let me speak.
- Go ahead.
Like, seeing these other
couples, especially them...
- Mm-hmm.
- And, like, their issues,
I'm like, so we really don't...
We're not that bad off,
actually.
- Yeah, we are golden.
Why are we here?
Have you, like, thought of it
in your head,
like, we're not gonna see
each other for 20-plus days?
- I'm well aware.
We signed up for it.
Okay, so then act like
it matters when you see me.
I realized that when
we separated and I slept alone.
- Okay, so act like it then.
- Okay.
All right, couples,
that's 10 minutes.
This is it.
- I love you so much, baby.
- I love you.
- Come give me a hug.
Bring it in.
Gosh.
Let's have fun.
Like, we're here on Maui. Like...
Yep, I'm sure you're
gonna have fun.
Saying goodbye to my
girlfriend is definitely hard.
This is my life here,
and so I'm trying to put myself
out there
and take my time to figure out
is Shari the one for me?
Come with me, Shari. Let's go.
Am I in the right relationship?
Or should I take
a whole different route?
Fellows, I'll see you soon.
I came to "Temptation Island"
because I don't feel 100% sure
that John is the one for me.
- This way.
Now I feel like I should not
be sitting there picking on him.
I'm not perfect either,
so hopefully...
he still
loves me at the end of it.
Goddamnit.
I'm hoping that, like,
he stays strong
and just realizes everything
that we've been through
and how close we are...
and how much, like,
we love each other because
he's... he's my person.
Like, he really is my person.
This is
the craziest dating experience
anybody could ever have
in their entire lives.
I'm excited to date in paradise.
Come hang out with me.
So your girlfriends
better watch out.
I didn't come here
to fall in love.
I came here to resist
temptation.
I've yet to not get what I want.
Can I trust her?
You're kinda coming in
for the kill.
You're... ing cute.
I'm afraid that those
old traits of mine
are gonna resurface.
- Hello there.
He keeps saying things
to another girl that he
normally says to me.
This experience has been
a lot more real
than I ever intended it to be.
I wish that we hadn't
signed up for this.
I don't think you guys
are really, truly getting
how hard this is for me.
I never thought that I would
come here
and actually develop
feelings for somebody.
Are they hooking up in there?
What the hell are you doing?
I feel really betrayed.
Things are getting intense.
People's feelings
are on the line.
You have to apologize to her
for that.
ing corny, dog.
You just insulted me
in the worst way.
- Shut the... up!
- Listen to everybody else!
Shut up!
I think there is potential to
fall in love with him someday.
I would be so lucky to have
a guy like him.
He's wanting to, like, leave
his girlfriend for me.
Somebody's falling in love.
Aah!
"Temptation Island"
got the best of me.
Am I a scumbag?
Now's the time for you
to finally answer
the ultimate question
you came here with.
Are you gonna stay together,
or are you gonna break up?
They're more than likely
gonna go home
in a new relationship.
Now's the time
to make a decision.
Oh, my God.
I need to know what you think.
I came here looking for answers,
but these were not
the answers I was expecting.
Temptation.
who are at a crossroads
in their relationships have
decided to embark on a journey
to answer the question,
are we meant to be together?
Is he the right person
that I'm supposed to be with
for the rest of my life?
This is an ultimate test
to see if
we're really meant
to be together.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me be the first
to welcome you
to "Temptation Island."
- Cheers, guys.
- Cheers to "Temptation Island."
So you've agreed
to go on a journey...
A journey where you're
gonna date other people.
Standing in front of you
are 24 single men and women,
all here for one reason...
That's to find love.
This is huge. I'm putting
a lot on the line for this.
Let's be best friends
and maybe even lovers.
- It's crazy.
Like, we're basically single,
and these girls are confident.
They're ready to get my guy,
and my guy's fricking hot.
- I have to propose or...
- Wow.
She's gonna leave me.
I love my girl. I love her.
Sounds like that one's
a hard one to love.
Did we make the right decision
coming here?
I have no idea.
It's a fantasy experience
that will answer
their ultimate question...
Should we really be together,
or is there someone out there
better for me?
Come hang out with me.
I never thought I'd put
my relationship
in jeopardy like this.
Just having to face him
for the first time
is just gonna crush me.
- I finally have clarity.
I can... ing see.
"Temptation Island"
got the best of me,
and then it turned me
into a monster.
How is this happening?
I thought we were strong
enough to go into this.
If he participated in
something, I'm done. I'm done.
Here on "Temptation Island."
You're not gonna tempt me.
- Hello. Hi.
- Hi, guys.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Shari?
- Shari. Nice to meet you.
- Are you ready for this?
- Not really. It's happening.
You ready for me to date girls?
- Yes, we're on the same page.
- I love it.
We talked game plan.
As long as we're on
the same page.
Rules.
- Cheers.
- Cheers, guys.
I think our love will outlast
"Temptation Island."
There might be
some ups and downs,
but I think we'll make it
through.
Yeah, I don't think this
can break us.
I think it would just
make us stronger.
You've only been with one man
since you were 16.
I know. Aah!
- I'm Javen.
- I'm Shari,
and we've been together
for eight years.
We've been dating
since we were 16,
and when we were about 20,
it just became really serious.
She's my first, like,
real, authentic girlfriend
in high school, and the only
girlfriend I've had
since high school.
But, like, he's my best friend,
and I don't feel like anybody
could really take the place
in my heart
that I have for Javen.
So we've been living together
for the past five years,
and I just don't wanna feel like
we're rushing into a marriage
at 25
just because we've been together
since we were 16.
You're ready to...
to take this on?
- I'm ready.
We have our reservations,
though.
- Yeah.
- Why we are doing this
in... in, you know...
I caught him cheating
a few years ago,
but at the same time,
I just want him to prove to me
that he's actually
officially changed,
'cause there is still
reservations there for sure.
I'm making myself volatile
through this, you understand?
I don't wanna take any risks.
- You don't think I am,
especially with, like, your
past, and, like, everything?
- Yeah, my past.
That's why I'm trying to prove
that I'm different from my past.
- Yeah.
You know, in the past,
I was tempted.
I've grown. I'm mature.
I'm just gonna go through this,
confident in myself,
and just show her
that I'm, you know,
I'm... I can fight temptation.
I'm not gonna be able
to touch your body
- or see you for a month?
- Stop.
- Gosh.
- Well, no one else is.
- Yeah.
- Touch my body.
I'll get so hot,
somebody touch your ass.
So this is gonna suck
not being together.
You know, it's gonna be hard.
- I'm gonna miss you.
- I'm John.
- And I'm Kady.
We have been together
for nearly three years,
and we actually met on Bumble,
which is a dating app.
We joke and say, "Oh, we should
just tell people we met
at Trader Joe's."
Pull.
- We have a great relationship.
- Whoo-hoo!
This is a real short barrel,
too,
so that makes it harder, right?
Don't make excuses about
your short barrel.
I grew up around
more traditional men,
kind of more
of a cowboy attitude,
and John isn't so much
the mold that I was used to.
Ha ha, you missed.
Ah.
This is exactly the type
of thing
that, you know,
I want us to do more,
and I want you to do.
Kady questions my masculinity
a couple times a week.
She says she wants, like,
an alpha male,
like, a Southern gentleman,
and I'm definitely
not that type.
I'm very humble.
And so I hope that she realizes
that when she's on the island,
how good a guy I am and how,
you know, I really love her,
and that maybe I am
this dream man.
I would say this experience,
you know,
will really give us time
to reflect
on our relationship and if we're
really meant to be together.
- Love you.
- Be closer after all this.
That's right.
- Well, I love you.
- I love you, too. Cheers, baby.
- My name is Karl.
- And I'm Nicole,
and we've been dating
for two and a half years.
Nicole and I first met
at the gym.
I was like, "Man,
she works out. Fitness girl."
Beautiful. I was blown away.
At the time, I had a boyfriend,
so it didn't progress
super fast.
Through the first year
of our relationship,
the love from Karl I've never
experienced before in my life.
I don't ant you to be thinking
about any of these ladies
in a certain type of way because
you're coming home to me.
I believe we both have
some trust issues.
When I met her, she had
a boyfriend at the time,
and she broke up with him.
In my head, like, all right,
if she can do it to him,
it could happen to me as well.
- I'm kinda nervous about that.
- Yeah.
Especially if they're gonna
have a lot of women around you.
What I'm most nervous about
is Karl connecting with a woman
on a different level
than he connects with me.
Our age gap and the maturity
is a big difference
in our relationship,
and I think if he was to meet
somebody that was older,
it can happen, so that's
definitely nerve-racking.
- What could go wrong?
- What could go wrong?
A lot could go wrong.
- You know...
- Take advantage of it.
Do what you gotta do.
Figure it out.
- Do what you gotta do.
- I love you. Mmm!
I love you.
- I'm Kaci.
- And I'm Evan.
We have been dating
on and off for 10 years
and exclusive for five.
We met when we were
19 years old,
and it was very on and off.
We tried dating.
He was in college,
playing basketball,
doing that
whole single boy thing.
Whoo!
Marriage to me
is really important.
My family's religious.
They don't like the fact
that we're living together
and we're not married.
- We're living in sin.
- And it's been years.
"Living in sin."
This is not what I had planned
for my daughter.
- She's amazing.
- Yeah.
I just wish you guys
could understand
that I value that question
so much
that I will not ask it
until I know
that I can take care
of your daughter.
Yeah, my dad cheated on my mom,
and it led him down the road
to actually be murdered
by the woman that he was
cheating with's husband.
It rocked me to my core,
you know?
I love the idea of my marriage,
right?
I want to spend the rest
of my life with Kaci,
and I'm scared that I can...
That I'm gonna hurt you
like my dad hurt my mom
and for my...
But you're not going to.
Commit to me, Evan.
I'm not asking for a lot.
If I don't propose to her
before 30,
then she will leave me.
I can't get my boyfriend
to marry me,
there's a million dudes
out there
that are gonna ask me
to marry them.
- I already love this woman.
I already live with this woman.
You know? I don't understand
what difference it would make
if there was a ring
on her finger.
I think this is an experience
for couples
that are at a crossroads,
and we could not be
at more of a crossroads.
- Right.
- This is it.
Like, we're going on this
to basically be together
or start new lives.
I'm seeing Mark at shore
kinda waving us down,
and I'm thinking about
just jumping off the boat
and swimming
the other direction.
My nerves are definitely
going crazy right now.
- Welcome, you guys!
- Hi! So excited and nervous.
- I'm Mark.
- Evan. Nice to meet you.
I know who you are. Hi, Kaci.
- Hi. I'm Kaci.
Nice to meet you.
- Welcome, you guys.
- We're stoked.
- Let's get the rest of you guys
off the boat. We'll get started.
- Sounds good.
We are actually here,
"Temptation Island."
Unreal.
- I know. It's insane.
I can't believe it.
- Nice to meet you, Mark.
I'm Javen.
- Hi, Javen.
We've been expecting you.
- I'm Shari.
- Yes. Hi, Shari.
I'm feeling pretty confident
in my relationship,
but there's also that side of me
that's a little anxious
and nervous on what's to come.
- All right, Karl, welcome.
Glad to have you here.
- Nicole.
- Nicole.
- Nice to meet you.
- How you feeling?
- I'm nervous.
- Good. That's good.
I've invested two and a half
years into Karl and I,
and he's genuinely
my first love,
and I'm, you know,
putting myself out there
to kind of risk that
either going good or bad.
- John.
- Hi, John.
We've been expecting you,
of course.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.
- Hi. How are you? I'm Kady.
- Hi, Kady.
It's nice to be confident
and be like,
"Oh, yeah, we got this."
But I don't know.
Do we got this? I don't know.
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me be the first to welcome
you to "Temptation Island."
- Let's go.
- I'm excited.
- Should we get to it?
- Let's do it.
- Yeah.
- Let's do it.
- Let's go.
- Let's do this.
- No turning back now.
- You look beautiful as ever.
I love your dress and your body.
I feel like this whole
experience is more of a test
to see, can we handle
being on our own,
or will Javen fold
under the pressure?
- Are you nervous?
- I'm excited and nervous.
Are you more excited
or more nervous?
- I'm freaking out.
I'm kinda wondering
what the hell we signed up for
and what's gonna happen,
what to expect.
Did we make
the right decision coming here?
I have no idea.
I'm happy to be here,
but I definitely know
that things are at stake, like,
I could lose Karl for sure.
- I'm excited.
It's a nice little house.
- This is so cute.
- I'm just scared of the unknown
because my girlfriend's
never dated anyone,
and I've never dated anyone
besides that,
so this is gonna be
an interesting thing.
I don't know
what's gonna happen.
This house is insane,
and it definitely makes me
nervous. I have butterflies.
- Yeah, no, butterflies...
I have pterodactyls.
- It's insane.
- Pterodactyls.
- Well, we made it.
What do you think of the place?
Nice, huh?
- Amazing.
I guess to start things off,
I'd like to offer you a toast.
So, everybody, grab a glass,
if you would. I'll fill the ones
that aren't filled.
All right, guys,
we started this thing.
Why don't you stand
and join me and raise a glass?
- Absolutely.
- And here's a toast
I wanna offer you...
Here's to you
finding the answers
you're seeking
to the questions
that you're asking.
Cheers.
- Cheers.
- Hear, hear.
- Hear, hear.
Good way to start the trip.
- Sit and relax.
How you feeling?
It hasn't felt real till now.
Definitely freaking out
a little bit.
Well, I can assure you that
you definitely don't know
what you've signed up for.
- Oh, God, Oh, no.
- Ugh! See?
But that's not necessarily
a bad thing.
You made the choice to come here
to the island
because you've all admitted that
you're at a crossroads, right?
That each of you have said
that you have questions
about your relationships.
- Yeah.
And you're hoping that
you'll find the answers
to those questions here.
So you've agreed to go
on a journey...
A journey where you're gonna
date other people, simply put.
Hopefully, that will help you
figure out
the most important question...
Whether you guys are meant
to be together or not.
Coming here was mainly my idea,
and I never thought
in a million years,
like, Evan would be okay
with it,
but this could be the best thing
to ever happen to us.
When you made the choice
to come here,
what did you hope to gain?
Like, what are you hoping
to gain?
I feel like I'm on a path
of redemption.
I've cheated on my girlfriend
in the past,
and so I'm kinda here to kinda,
like, you know, make a mark
and just show her
that I've changed
and for myself as well.
- I just wanna confirm
that he has changed.
I mean, we're 25 now.
The mistakes happened
when he was 18, 19.
I feel like I do trust him,
but I feel like
this is gonna make me
trust him even more,
make our bond
that much stronger.
What are you feeling
right now, John?
- I'm feeling a lot.
My... My biggest fear, obviously,
is... is if she finds country...
Country boy, that she's gonna...
fall in love with
since I'm the city slicker.
- We have one life to live.
I don't wanna waste it
on the wrong person,
and you don't either.
Hopefully, you know,
if we were meant to be,
then it'll drive me
closer to him
and drive us closer together.
I think it's a necessary pain.
Everything is at risk by
going through this experience.
My entire future is at risk.
- Hi, Ev. Hi, Kaci.
- What's up?
Hi.
Why are you here?
We're both 28 now,
and I just think
we're just kind of stuck,
to be honest.
Like, it's lots of mixed
signals. It's lots of, like,
"You're the only girl
I ever wanna be with.
I would never marry
anyone else,"
but then it's like,
"I don't wanna get engaged.
I don't wanna get married,"
so it's like...
And that, to you,
is like a mixed signal.
We've been in each other's lives
for, like, almost a decade.
- Yeah, yeah.
- It's, like, it's time.
- Yeah.
Either we get married
or I need to find someone
that wants to be with me.
I don't understand why
what we have isn't
good enough for now.
You know, it's great.
You know, what she wants
is a piece of paper
and a diamond, you know?
I... I just don't understand
why... why it has to be that.
What's your fear, Nicole?
Um, I am nervous that Karl
may connect with a woman
on a level that he doesn't
necessarily connect with me on.
Karl's 31, and I'm 25,
so there's kind of
a little bit of an age gap.
Karl, are you, um,
do you agree this maturity gap
that she speaks of
is an issue for you guys?
We're here to make sure
this is the right...
is the right thing.
Will we know that just
from this?
Maybe, maybe not, but it'll
definitely be another step
to strengthen it.
- Yeah.
- Got you.
And I appreciate
that straight answer.
And that's real talk.
- That's real talk.
- So, uh,
what'd you think of the house
when you walked up?
Gorgeous.
- Amazing.
- It was, like,
it surpassed what I imagined.
Yeah, it's pretty magical,
you know?
- Yeah.
- Well, let me let you know that
this is home... for you boys.
- I knew it!
- Ahh!
- Aw.
- Yeah. Nice.
The blue vibe. Blue and green.
I love Kaci,
but I was worried, you know?
Kaci was actually gonna be
in the same house as me.
Whoo! That just saved...
That saved the day.
Saved "Temptation Island"
for me for sure.
- So where are we staying?
- Yeah, where are we?
We've got a place for you guys
to stay as well.
Would you like to see it?
- Yes!
- I think you're gonna like it.
Why don't you follow me?
Guys, you come, too.
Yeah, come on.
Yeah, let's do this.
Now knowing that we're
gonna be separated soon,
I'm getting a little nervous.
Feel like the pressure's on,
and we will be tempted,
and it is a true test
to our relationship,
true test to myself,
so it will be interesting
to see what happens.
- Come on in, you guys.
- Wow.
- Follow me.
- It is so pretty.
Wow. Look at this place.
Look at y'all. Look at y'all.
- Not bad, huh?
- Not bad at all.
This is the women's villa.
The four of you
will be living here.
Yay!
What do you think?
- Love.
- Beautiful.
- You like it?
- Think it'll do.
- It'll do?
- It's amazing.
Well, we've only just begun
to show you this place.
You haven't seen
all of the features.
I've got something really cool
I wanna show you.
- You'd like to see?
- Yes.
- Yeah!
- All right. I'll be right back.
You guys, I'm stoked
on that house.
More room for muscles?
"More room for muscles"?
- Oh, my gosh.
This is absolutely insane.
- Oh, shit.
- Whoo.
- Okay.
- Oh.
- Oh!
- What is going on now?
- Shut up.
- Oh, shit.
Stop.
My God.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
- Oh, yeah.
- Right? We're all, like,
sizing each other up.
It's crazy.
I hope you're ready
'cause standing in front of you
are 24 eligible single
men and women,
but they're all here
for one reason...
That's to find love.
Hopefully, they're gonna
help you realize
whether your partner's
the one for you or not.
Tomorrow, you'll have a chance
to get to know them a
little bit better, but right now
I just wanted you
to get a chance to see them
and let them introduce
themselves to you,
because your journey begins...
right now.
Uh, not too impressed.
Oof.
- Sorry, not sorry.
- Heat immediately. Okay.
Mm-hmm.
You guys ready?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Hi, guys. I'm Hannah,
and I'm an entrepreneur,
which means I have a lot
of hustle.
When I see something I like,
I go after it.
Right now I like what I see.
They're trouble, girl.
I'm Johnny. I'm a chiropractor
from New York City.
I great with my hands,
always have your back,
and I'm here to find love.
I like him.
No adjustments from him.
- Oh, my God.
- Maybe I'm screwed.
- Hey, guys.
My name is Jeffri.
I'm a flight attendant,
and I've traveled
all over the world,
but I've yet to find love.
I'm hoping landing
on this island changes that.
Not having it.
I think so, too.
Hey, I'm James.
I'm a VP
of a computer and design firm.
I'm respectful. I'm faithful.
I'm basically husband material.
And I'm ready to find a woman
to be my wife.
- I'm Britt.
I'm from Venice, California.
I love life. I teach yoga,
and what's also important to me
is a spiritual connection.
- She's cute.
- I like her, too.
Hi. I'm Allie
from Fort Lauderdale.
I have a master's
in communications,
so I've mastered the art
of persuasion.
But don't let my degrees
fool you.
I know how to have a great time.
Persuasion. Butt cheeks out.
I guess that's her way.
Is that funny?
The fact that she was laughing
is to hide that she is
very intimidated.
I think that she can't handle
beauty and brains.
Mm-hmm.
Women are vicious.
- Hi, guys. My name is Kayla.
I'm a sales supervisor
and in control at work.
I'm on the island
to take control of my love life,
and I'm looking for a man
to be my partner.
That is confident.
Man, you're friendly
with these girls. Okay? Dang.
- I'm secure in myself. What?
- Okay.
It's all good.
- Hello, beautiful ladies.
I'm Roman, a Southern gentleman
who likes to ride motorcycles.
I look forward to bringing some
good old-fashioned excitement
into your life.
There's your country boy
right there, babe.
Hey, guys, my name's Morgan.
I'm a real estate agent,
and when I find something
I like,
I know how to close the deal.
She's cute.
She's very cute.
- How you guys doing?
I'm Tyler. I'm from New York.
And one thing I do know how
to do is win.
I'm here to win
one of you guys over.
Step it up, guys.
- Hola, chicas.
Mi nombre es Carlos.
I was born in Cuba.
For me, life is an adventure,
and I don't want
to go on it alone.
I'm looking for the right girl
to take the ride with me.
- Yo gusta.
- What does that mean?
"I like."
Hey, guys. I'm Sheldyn.
I'm sorry to break
the news to you ladies,
but odds are one of your guys
is gonna fall for me.
That's hilarious. Oh, my God.
That's, like, the funniest joke
I've heard.
She's so insecure.
She's no nervous.
Hi, guys. My name is Val,
and I'm from Brooklyn, New York,
and I'm a mama's boy,
and the only thing
that she taught me
is how to treat a lady right.
That's the only thing
she taught him?
A real important thing.
Hey, y'all, I'm Kathryn.
I'm from Nashville.
I'm a Southern belle
loaded with ambition,
and right now,
I know exactly what I want.
This whole lineup
is horrible for men.
I'm feeling for you guys.
Oh, so you think
it's good for you?
I didn't say anything like that.
So why wouldn't you say
it was horrible for you, too?
- Are you serious?
Like, you're my girlfriend.
I'm not worried about no one.
- Then why'd you say that?
I mean, if you're, like,
if you're accusing me
of being attracted to people,
I'm not.
Let's just get through this.
- I'm not worried about nobody.
Okay, so don't...
Don't put stuff in my mouth,
any ideas in my head
that's not there.
I don't know what's wrong
with you.
Are you kidding me?
She's scary.
Mm-hmm.
Same with me.
The guy up top to the right,
he was just entire time
looking down.
That's a sign of weakness,
my man.
The troops are coming in, pal,
and you better watch out.
You better not cry.
And I'll tell you why,
'cause Val's in town.
Hm. How you doing?
Hard to make a first impression,
and that's all tonight's about,
is a chance for you to get
to meet these people.
I thank you.
You did a great job.
Head on out and have
a good evening.
Thank you.
What were you saying about me?
It just doesn't matter
anymore. It's over now.
Is anyone else scared
of that bitch?
Oh, hell.
- I'm not impressed by any...
Anyone here.
Now you say it.
She's so scary.
Here's what I'll say
to you guys.
These 12 men and these 12 women
were chosen not randomly.
They were chosen specifically
for you.
This experience really depends
on you opening yourselves up
to each one of them
and letting them get to know
the real you.
Now let's talk about tonight.
Tonight...
you'll all be separated.
- Say good night.
It is not goodbye.
And I'll see you guys tomorrow.
- All right.
I'll see you in the morning.
- I love you.
- Okay.
- Act like you you li...
You love me, at least.
Smile. Be confident.
- Take your own evidence.
- You're the queen that you are.
- Take your... I am the queen.
- Okay, then act like it then.
- But I'm arguing with you.
I don't care. I'm not worried
about the singles.
I'm confident as ever.
- Okay. Don't mention it then.
- Okay.
- Love each other.
It's gonna be the last night.
Love each other.
Love each other.
These are still our last few
moments together,
and you're, like,
you're carrying this on.
I know my girl,
and she knows me.
If I feel a certain way,
I'm gonna express myself
If she feels the same way, she's
gonna express herself to me.
We've been together
for almost nine years.
This is us. I love her.
That's my baby girl.
That's my girl for life.
Waking up this morning
was a little bittersweet for me
because I wasn't too happy
with how me and Javen left
each other yesterday.
Because you, like,
got me started.
- Okay, okay. No, no, no, no.
- Let me say one thing.
- Good morning.
- Hi.
- Good morning.
- How are we doing?
- Good.
- Pretty good.
- You look rested.
- Yes.
- Got a little sleep.
- I didn't sleep
that well, actually.
I had a lot on my mind.
I felt like we had, like,
unfinished business,
and I wanted to, like, text him
and be like,
"Hey, what the hell
was that about?"
You guys were in it last night.
- Yeah.
- How were you feeling
after having met the singles?
Well, we just thought the guys
were acting like
a bunch of nervous pussies.
So... so...
- Last night was just about
first impressions.
Some of those were accurate.
Some of them might have left
a little meat on the bone.
Gentlemen, come on in.
You look well-rested.
I didn't expect this.
I didn't think we were gonna
have to see these guys again,
at least, like,
not this morning
when I'm with my girl.
Wow, we can see 'em
so much better
now that we're, like, up close.
Actually, they've been
kinda busy pulling together
a cocktail party.
- Oh.
And so, gentlemen, if you
would escort our ladies,
you're gonna head back up to
the mountain villa right now...
- Oh, my God.
- Where you guys will have
a chance to get to know
one another a little bit.
- Sounds good.
- Ladies...
- Hello. Love you.
- Oh, you're coming back here.
- Hi.
- Hi. Let's go.
He came in, just literally
in front of me,
took her hand
and pulled her away.
I mean, I thought
it was bullshit.
Nah, bro.
- There was a lot of you guys.
I don't really remember.
Honestly, I'm kinda upset
seeing Nicole walking away
with these guys. Maybe later
that picture will go away,
and I'll be able to have
some more fun,
but that's just something
I can't forget.
Stunned you a little bit
by having those single guys
come in,
but I'm not gonna leave you
sitting here alone,
so let's bring in some ladies
for you to get to know.
- Oh, you shouldn't have.
- Hello!
- Here we go. All right, babe.
Take care.
First time with all
the single guys.
We're having a good time.
Conversation seems
really natural.
He gave me
a little pink umbrella.
They're hot.
I feel the hormones here
kicking in.
- I know, right?
- Yeah.
My name is Carlos. I was
born and raised in Cuba,
and I currently live
in Houston, Texas.
- Carlos. Carlos.
- Carlos.
- Carlos, yeah. There you go.
- Kady.
- Kady.
- Yes.
- Nice to meet you, Kady.
- Nice to meet you.
He seems very deep
and very passionate.
- Yeah, yeah.
- My boyfriend is not.
I come from a culture
where we open doors.
We treat a woman with respect.
You need someone that will
go along with you
and get out of your daily life.
- Yeah.
I like to make the person
that I am with feel like they're
the only person in the world.
I feel that they're definitely
gonna fall for that.
Like, I learned so much
about you.
I know. I really hope I get to
definitely keep learning more.
- Hey.
- Hello.
A bunch of attractive
single ladies walk in,
and I feel like a lot of guys
are gonna relate to me going,
"Got this girlfriend
that will not stop,
you know, nagging on me,"
so fair game.
- Ladies, this house is yours.
Cocktail party is on.
And I'll catch up with you guys
later.
Let's go get some drinks!
Guys, let's do it.
Yeah.
I haven't been around,
you know, single girls like this
since, you know,
my college days, almost.
I'm like, I'm worrying
about Kaci.
I'm worried about me
and temptation.
- I'm Brittney.
- You're Brittney, right? Okay.
Nice to meet you. Yeah.
But I gotta be true
to myself, you know?
Kaci and I chose this,
and we're here.
It's time to get busy.
My heart's going
a little bit fast.
- Are you going?
- Yeah, just trying to breathe.
- I'm trying to breathe.
So let's do this together.
Big deep breath, okay?
- Should we?
- Yes.
- Okay, here, hold my hand.
- Ready? Ready?
- Close your eyes.
- It's better, right?
- That was nice.
- That's better, right?
- Yeah. You know, you can
literally control
your heart rate with breathing.
I mean, like, you're the yogi,
right?
- Where are you from?
- Well, I'm from L.A.,
but, you know, Agoura.
Agoura Hills.
- Yeah. Oh, my God.
I went to Agoura High School.
- Did you really?
- I swear to God.
- Oh, my God. That's...
- That's crazy.
It's scary to say, you know,
it's easier to take the plunge
into "Temptation Island"
than to take the plunge
into marriage.
I have to propose or...
- Wow.
- She's gonna leave me.
- What?
I'm a little anxious
to meet the singles
because I don't really know
what I'm walking into,
but they're here to impress me,
so it's gonna be up to them
and how comfortable
they make me feel.
This is just bizarre to me
that I'm even,
like, going through
with all this.
All I remember about you
is you said
you're not impressed.
I'm Dr. Johnny.
I'm from New York City.
I'm a chiropractor.
I'm 31 years old.
I'm here to find
my perfect match for my
soul mate and my best friend.
Are you just here to, like,
bring yourself up,
or are you actually
trying to meet us?
I-I'm here, right?
Whether it's a good thing
or bad thing,
you're gonna know exactly what
I'm thinking at all times,
so at least these women
will know
that I'm gonna be honest
with them.
I'm gonna be upfront with them,
and if they're getting games
at home, they're not gonna
get games with me.
- You're a little aggressive.
I'm like, calm down.
Some of the single guys kinda
made me feel
just a little uneasy,
but I'm open-minded
to this whole experience.
It's gonna take a lot for me
to get used to Javen
not being there.
- I mean, you're cute.
I like you.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Javen.
- Javen? That's a nice name.
I'm Jeffri.
- Jeffri? Okay.
- Yeah. Nice to meet you.
I am here in hopes to find
real love.
- I love my girl. I love her.
- I'm glad you do, honey,
'cause, whoo.
- I love her to pieces.
Sounds like that's a hard one
to love.
I think the girlfriend should
probably be a little concerned,
because I know what I want,
and I'm not afraid to go
after that.
That's kind of the theme
of my life.
First I'm-a compliment
your red dress, 'cause that...
Red is my color.
- Oh, is it?
- I wore it today.
We're matching today.
- Perfect.
- Yeah.
Sounds like a match
made in heaven to me.
- Standing talking to a wall.
- Hey.
Let's go over here
and have a drink.
Yeah, sure.
I think these men's minds
are going to be blown.
Going into waters that
are uncharted, you know?
Yeah, infested with sharks.
There's so much temptation
out there.
That's why you have
to take care of your man,
or you'll lose him.
Let's have fun.
Let's be friends.
- Okay.
- Let's be best friends.
- Yeah.
- And then maybe even lovers.
All right.
Definitely excited
about a date with her.
Does anyone wanna know
about me at all,
or like, what, attractions are?
Thanks, honey.
I'm here on "Temptation Island"
to find love,
but I think there's a lot
of strong personalities.
- So packaging.
- You get the Oreo.
You get the chocolate,
and you get the vanilla.
Okay, okay, all right.
So I definitely see
some people clashing.
- I don't know about you.
Like, that's...
That's what I'm gonna pursue,
bottom line.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hope you had a good time.
You having fun?
- Yeah!
- Everybody's getting along?
- Yeah!
All right. Unfortunately,
I've got a call an end
to the party,
'cause we've got some business
to take care of.
So let's all gather around here.
We don't know what's coming,
but I just know that
it's game on now,
and anything can happen.
- Hello, ladies.
- Hi!
Now that John and I are here,
it's really scary.
I feel like there was a lot
of girls
that I could see him
being physically attracted to.
I could see him liking
their personality.
So that's
a little nerve-racking.
Y'all in our house now.
Ooh.
- Already the smack talk starts.
- Oh, my God.
Well, the evening is waning,
so let's get down to business.
We have some business to handle
right now.
You good to do it?
- Let's do it.
Yeah, we're ready.
I have this box right here,
and in this box,
I have necklaces.
These necklaces simply
are for you to wear
while you're here on the island.
They correspond with your
partner's color of necklace
and just is a simple reminder
of your relationship, okay?
I think my biggest fear
has been and still is
that these women are gonna
be aggressive towards my man,
and I can't stop that.
- I have another necklace
to give you right now.
These are matching necklaces
to your color.
Each one of you can use this
to block a single
from dating your partner.
If you'd like to,
you'll simply place this
around the neck of the single
that you'd like to block
from dating your partner,
and then they will not
be allowed to date your partner
all the way through
the time on the island
up until the final dates,
where the blocks
will be removed.
Now just because they're blocked
doesn't mean they can't hang out
at the villa all they want.
They just simply can't be
chosen for a date. Understand?
So would any of you
like to use your block?
I do.
Oh, God.
Just go up to the girl
that you'd like to block
and give her the necklace
and put it around her neck.
Okay.
Here you go.
You called it. You did.
I knew you were gonna do that
to me. John.
Kathryn was the hottest
out of all of them.
It kinda make me feel like
Kady's now really
getting concerned.
- It's okay, John.
We'll still live together.
That's pretty true.
Southern girls
know Southern girls, don't they?
- That's right.
- Okay.
Guys, do any of you want
to use your block?
No.
Yes, I would like to.
Leapt right out of his chair.
- It's you, buddy.
- There you go, man.
I blocked Roman. She's a big
sucker for country boys.
I was like, all right, that's
a deal-breaker.
If anyone would like to use
their block,
this is your chance.
You all feel good
about your decisions?
- 100%.
- Yeah.
- Kaci?
- That's not why we came here.
We came here to date people.
Honestly, we came here
for the full experience,
and he would not be getting
the full experience
if I blocked one of them.
- Okay, very good.
I honor your choices,
and they will stay in place.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I thank you very much
for this evening.
Those of you who are wearing
a little extra jewelry,
um, consider it a compliment.
Game on.
- Game on, sista.
- Game on.
I'm definitely am
going to pretend
that this isn't even here,
and other than, you know,
obviously we can't date
outside of the house,
but that's not gonna stop me
inside the house.
There's nothing that's gonna
stop me from talking to him
or interacting with him
as if he was a boyfriend...
which he probably will be.
All right, we'll see
you guys later. Thank you.
You guys will hang out
a little bit.
I have a lovely dinner prepared
and we can hang out
and talk a little bit.
Sound good?
- Sounds great.
- Yes.
I'll be there
in a couple minutes, okay?
Sounds good.
- I blocked Kathryn.
She's got the fangs out,
and she's here to play dirty.
So I definitely made
the right decision
by blocking Kathryn.
Now this looks like
a lovely dinner...
Hi.
With some of my favorite people.
Can I join you?
- Please.
- Yeah.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. You look great.
A little more relaxed
than the last time I saw you.
- Big-time.
Anything you wanna share
that's on your mind
after having met the singles?
It's just wild to be put
in this situation, you know?
I've purposely kept myself
out of situations like this.
Well, that's Kaci's
sticking point.
- Yeah.
- She trusts you except
if you're in an environment
with alcohol and gorgeous girls.
- Yeah.
- I've grown.
- He really, truly has.
- I've become a man, you know?
And it's, uh, I mean,
I'm not gonna say it's
not a test, you know?
But I have... I have all
the confidence in the world
that I'm gonna pass it.
- Yeah.
But you know I'm not grading
any papers.
No, it's not you. It's this
one's grading the papers.
- No.
- Well, we definitely
found out today I think
the guys can say this, too,
that those girls
were pretty aggressive.
- I think the men were pretty...
They were okay
when it came
to the cocktail setting.
I mean, they made...
We were all nervous.
They wanna get to know us,
but they were respectful
about it.
We'll say most of them
were respectful about it.
I had a guy who was actually
angry, and, like, aggressive
towards me.
- In what way?
He just seemed kind of, like,
angry, like,
"Why are you here then?
Like, what do you...
"Like, what do you need to know
if you've been with your man
for eight years?"
It was kind of like...
And I called him out on it.
And he's douchey. He's so
douchey. Like... Oh, my God.
- I'm saying it.
I'm saying it now.
When I asked you,
you didn't say anything.
I just didn't think about it
until she brought it up.
The element that I am gonna
keep bringing up to you guys
is the element
of the lightning strike.
When I met my wife,
I locked eyes, and I went,
"Oh, God, my number's up,
and I don't even want it
to be up," right?
That's like my dad and mom.
And there's nothing you can do
about that.
So, Javen, what happens if
you're like,
"I'm all about Shari.
I'm all about Shari,"
and then one of these girls,
like, kapow,
and the lightning hits you?
You prepared for that?
I don't think any girl can
flip me off my feet
at this point in my life,
I don't think ever.
I'm pretty solid
in my relationship.
All right. That... That said,
all of you are here
because there are some blind
spots in your relationship.
In other words,
Shari is your everything,
but you wouldn't be here
if there weren't some things
that weren't fiery.
Unfortunately, dinner is over.
This is the last time
you'll be together
until you leave the island.
Really?
And it's for real,
for real this time?
- It's for real, for real.
- For real, for real.
- Whoa.
- Wow.
And if that's not
heavy enough for you,
there's a very real possibility
that for some of you guys,
this is goodbye... forever.
Ah.
- That's a big word.
That's a big word.
I suggest you say everything
you're afraid to say
to one another right now as if
you are never getting
a chance to say it again.
I'll see you in 10 minutes.
Good luck.
I love you.
You're my best friend
in the whole, wide world.
Have fun but keep figuring out
yourself without me.
Mmm!
I love you.
- I love you, babe.
You're my best friend
in the whole, wide world.
- You're my bestie.
- You're my bestie.
- You're my person.
You're my everything.
- We'll be fine, baby.
- I love you so much.
I love you.
- You're my baby.
- You're my bang.
- My...
- My bing.
My bing bang.
I'm sitting on the couch.
There's, like, six guys
sitting there.
- I know... I know how...
- Okay, but you tell me
you want me to explain, and I'm
painting the picture for you.
- I was just giving you...
- So stop cutting me off.
- Dialogue. I was responding.
- Stop cutting me off.
Let me speak.
- Go ahead.
Like, seeing these other
couples, especially them...
- Mm-hmm.
- And, like, their issues,
I'm like, so we really don't...
We're not that bad off,
actually.
- Yeah, we are golden.
Why are we here?
Have you, like, thought of it
in your head,
like, we're not gonna see
each other for 20-plus days?
- I'm well aware.
We signed up for it.
Okay, so then act like
it matters when you see me.
I realized that when
we separated and I slept alone.
- Okay, so act like it then.
- Okay.
All right, couples,
that's 10 minutes.
This is it.
- I love you so much, baby.
- I love you.
- Come give me a hug.
Bring it in.
Gosh.
Let's have fun.
Like, we're here on Maui. Like...
Yep, I'm sure you're
gonna have fun.
Saying goodbye to my
girlfriend is definitely hard.
This is my life here,
and so I'm trying to put myself
out there
and take my time to figure out
is Shari the one for me?
Come with me, Shari. Let's go.
Am I in the right relationship?
Or should I take
a whole different route?
Fellows, I'll see you soon.
I came to "Temptation Island"
because I don't feel 100% sure
that John is the one for me.
- This way.
Now I feel like I should not
be sitting there picking on him.
I'm not perfect either,
so hopefully...
he still
loves me at the end of it.
Goddamnit.
I'm hoping that, like,
he stays strong
and just realizes everything
that we've been through
and how close we are...
and how much, like,
we love each other because
he's... he's my person.
Like, he really is my person.
This is
the craziest dating experience
anybody could ever have
in their entire lives.
I'm excited to date in paradise.
Come hang out with me.
So your girlfriends
better watch out.
I didn't come here
to fall in love.
I came here to resist
temptation.
I've yet to not get what I want.
Can I trust her?
You're kinda coming in
for the kill.
You're... ing cute.
I'm afraid that those
old traits of mine
are gonna resurface.
- Hello there.
He keeps saying things
to another girl that he
normally says to me.
This experience has been
a lot more real
than I ever intended it to be.
I wish that we hadn't
signed up for this.
I don't think you guys
are really, truly getting
how hard this is for me.
I never thought that I would
come here
and actually develop
feelings for somebody.
Are they hooking up in there?
What the hell are you doing?
I feel really betrayed.
Things are getting intense.
People's feelings
are on the line.
You have to apologize to her
for that.
ing corny, dog.
You just insulted me
in the worst way.
- Shut the... up!
- Listen to everybody else!
Shut up!
I think there is potential to
fall in love with him someday.
I would be so lucky to have
a guy like him.
He's wanting to, like, leave
his girlfriend for me.
Somebody's falling in love.
Aah!
"Temptation Island"
got the best of me.
Am I a scumbag?
Now's the time for you
to finally answer
the ultimate question
you came here with.
Are you gonna stay together,
or are you gonna break up?
They're more than likely
gonna go home
in a new relationship.
Now's the time
to make a decision.
Oh, my God.
I need to know what you think.
I came here looking for answers,
but these were not
the answers I was expecting.
Temptation.
