Kiki's Temptation Island babbles: episode 8
Oh, you know? It doesn't even make sense to start this intro with ‘You’re not gonna temptttttt meeeee’. Everyone is being tempted this season, there's no stopping it. Sorelis has left with Gulcin, Jaydi has joined Team Ricky, Karina is ‘smashing‘ with Darryl, whatever that may mean, and slowly but surely, Love or Leave seems more and more like a Leave or Leave.
Denise and ‘MallorcaMarco’ seem to be our only hope for true love. Oh yes, and the new couple of course. But that always feels a bit like a half Tempah for nothing, don’t you think? Tempah for nothing, what a disgusting phrase by the way. As if those English people are happy about that. Anyway, we need to talk about a few things again as we head towards the end.
1. And the award for the most poetic statement of this season goes to… Greg and his mouth.
*Here follows a melodramatic tune…
‘I’m just afraid she’ll let go before I could hold on…’
2. Yeah, yeah, Anne the photographer and her sporty morning date with Kevin. Dear creators, we’ve passed the point of forced first dates, we’re already at the point where relationships are over, bye bye.
3. ‘Greg needs to go through the pain first.’ Okay, you know, I think I just want a relationship with Liyah.
4. By the way, it’s quite juicy to know that it seemed like she was crying this episode over her feelings for Greg, but that’s a lie. Liyah was crying because she found the ATMOSPHERE unbearable in the house and as an introvert was overstimulated and needed to recharge alone, something that’s not possible on Temptation Island. ‘I don’t mind that I was crying, but this edit is rude as f*ck. I wanted to go home, but now it seems like I’m the sad girl because Greg kept his distance from me, but I was actually cool with that.’
5. Marielle: ‘I wanted to say no to his invitation.’
A single who doesn’t want to go on a date?
SONNY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HUMANITY, HAHAHAHA.
6. Mariëlle is on a roll and is dissing away
*Sonny hits the target during archery.
‘I think that’s the only time he’s going to hit the target this Temptation.’
Mariëlle, you are my person.
7. Oh lord, the campfire. I just can’t handle this form of awkwardness versus excitement well from the couch, I notice. Those kissing scenes Sonny has to watch: ooooomg, taking it all in to the max. I still find it sad…. until he starts talking. Okay, you know what, never mind.
‘I hope she finds happiness. But not under my wings anymore.’
‘How can you throw away three years of help in a week?’
HELP?
Ai ai ai Sonnyboy… You were her friend.
Not her housing group supervisor.
8. Oh wait, a new award for the poetic statement, again from Greg.
‘Maybe I should also open my eyes. And look into the light. Because before, Karina was my light…’
Let’s see how things are going on the other side with his lady/light? Karina: ‘Yeah really, huh? Darryl is definitely a guy I can spend the rest of my life with!’
9. You know, 2020 is the year when everything really changed. But the biggest change?
This is the first Temptation where I’m ashamed during the campfire for the images of the WOMEN AND I LOVE IT WOOHOO HAHAHAH.
10. Or the tweet that sums everything up:
Gregory and Sonny pretending to be tough at the beginning that they hustle chicks
Final score: both their girlfriends break up with them and suddenly they’re sad little boys.
P.S.: I’ve recently been chatting with participants about reality TV. Yes, that’s another new adventure. Just look here.
P.P.S.: Maybe I’m a little bit in love with Pretty Ricky myself. Heart if you can relate.
P.P.P.S.: NEXT WEEK KARINA KISSING LIPGLOSS ERRRRWHERE WOOPWOOOP.
