Just a little more about that smuggled phone in Temptation Island...

Phone on temptation island

Dear dear makers of Temptation Island. You guys had one job. Make sure the candidates follow the rules this year. That there isn't suddenly a pregnant candidate (hi Channah!) in the group. That the relationship testers stick to the contract and don't pull any crazy stunts this time.

And then this season suddenly exploded because a phone was allegedly smuggled in by Melissa. But whether that stays hidden for long in a house where cameras and microphones are everywhere... Hmmm. Anyway, there must have been suitcases checked before this whole adventure started, man. I mean: really, are we really that naive to believe this was a spontaneous action by a candidate? No way, man. We all know a bit of drama sells, so let's just pretend we're surprised by that phone, okay?

At the end of episode 7, the tellie makes its entrance for the first time. Melissa and Roshina (who have spontaneously forgotten that there are cameras and microphones everywhere in the house) have an intimate conversation in the bathroom and then start talking about a mobile phone... Melissa tries to reassure Roshina after the second campfire, pulls out the phone (extremely forbidden in the house). ‘I don't have wifi... this works everywhere,’ whispers Melissa. ‘I can't turn it on too often.’

The rumor mill is working overtime, Gianni and Melissa should leave the relationship test early and gosh, we all fall for it again. Gotta love showbiz.
