Yes indeed: You can sign yourself (or your friends) up for Temptation Island now

Whether I like it or not, I have completely become fascinated by it. Almost all of us have. The biggest real-life television cheating orgy in Thailand has made a deep impression. Are you also a Temptation fan? You can sign yourself (or your friends) up now. Ha.

And yes, I know, this is the same Temptation Island of which I also said that your brain cells can die from it, but still we want to see it. At least with someone else, because then it's fun. I would find it pretty awful if your partner suddenly nudges you and seriously says: ‘Hey darling, shall we sign up? I think it would be cool.’ The look that would come from that would be even more terrifying than an unhinged Cruella de Vil mixed with Grumpy Cat. Seriously, I would immediately try to find out Parastoo's address and have half of his belongings delivered there. Here, save yourself the trouble, please.

“I'm sorry to tell you that you are still too smart, maybe next year? NEXT!”

But well, we all know that the casting for Temptation is not done by blissfully happy couples. There is always something fishy going on (or an intense naivety in your face), otherwise you wouldn't sign up. Right? Still, I am secretly very curious about what such a casting day looks like. Is there an IQ test for the couples? ‘I'm sorry to tell you that you are still too smart, maybe next year? NEXT!’ Do the candidates first have to admit in a secret interrogation booth that they want to let loose before they are dropped on that island? Do you need to have at least three tattoos and one piercing in an inexplicable place before you can move on to the second round? (Or should I remind you of the 400 cc titty piercing of titty person Pommeline? The lovely Karla the Cow-nose ring of Saartje?) Are your boobs measured first in round 1? Anyway, you get me. There are quite a few types participating, which makes you unable to stop watching.

But let's think differently for a moment. Do you know what Oh Oh Cherso has produced with those eight Hague residents, man? The Netherlands was captivated by, let's say: a group of ordinary drunken teenagers. You see: sex sells. And not only is it smart for the producers to cast a ‘certain type’ for a series like Temptation, it also seems that a television program like this is the only chance for the participants to gain real fame. In one fell swoop, you gain thousands of followers on Insta, sponsorship deals come flying at you, and you might even get a free breast enlargement offered, YAY! No, but seriously; I would love to be the casting present. Just to see what happens there. A bit of wandering around, watching monkeys, checking out breasts; the whole shebang. So makers, please invite me to do an internship for a day, because it seems like the funniest thing ever.

If you are now thinking: ha, that world fame is for me or for that friend; for the tenth season they are still looking for participants for 2018. Not only couples who want to test their relationship, but also seducers. What do you have to do? Anyway, send in 3 photos (a close-up of your face, a photo showing you from the waist up, and a picture where you are fully visible). Meat inspection? What? What do you mean? Anyway, check this video it out. My last tip? Do not try this at home, people, do not try this at home…
