Wait a minute, is Temptation Island permanently off the air?

In case you missed it: there is a crisis at RTL. After the reality show De Villa was taken off the air last week due to sexual misconduct, Temptation Island and Free Love Paradise have also been temporarily halted. Why? Peter van de Vorst wants to investigate whether the programs are still being made in an ethical manner. I can relate to that; in De Villa it was shown how two male participants drunkenly imposed themselves on a woman who clearly had no interest in that. What were the creators thinking by filming? Where is the line between entertainment and humiliation? I mean: broadcasting images of people being touched against their will = not okay. Man or woman. Everyone understands that. But what does this news mean for Tempah fans? There is talk of a ‘temporary’ halt, so the door is not being closed permanently. However, Peter tells RTL Nieuws that the temporary TV stop is necessary to regain trust in the genre. ‘I was shocked. It is shocking what happened on location. Especially the creators of the program have gone far beyond their ethical boundaries.’ You understand: the final word has not yet been said on this. But for now, no Tempah therefore.
