Tempa Talk: episode 11

Nooo, nooo, nooooo, you don't have to go, shaaaat. But it's going to happen anyway. The end of Temptation Island is in sight. And I don't agree with it. Is it so unreasonable to separate those couples for three weeks instead of two? Doesn't seem like such a crazy demand to me. Tempa 2.0. I'm going to miss my drinking game too. The words of this week? ‘Process’ and ‘realization’. Bottoms up.

1. Is anyone actually interested in the romance between Antonio and Fleur? Girl, why would you want to be with such a guy? And then say you're afraid of getting hurt. Uhhh... I have news for you: that's going to happen.

2. Ah, of course we won't see anything from Whitney, Iris, Ivo, and Maris in this episode. Leave the milking to Temptation Island; of course they can easily fit all four into one episode, but that would be a waste. Stretch everything out as much as possible.

3. Monica: ‘There are no more images of René.’ When even the presenting duo and the creators know that this relationship can't be broken anymore. So much love for Annebel and René.

4. Sincere confession: I deliberately didn't put on any makeup for this episode. I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to keep it dry.

5. Suspicion confirmed: it doesn't even matter that ‘processes’, ‘developments’, and ‘realization’ are being thrown around everywhere. Annebel has been proposed to. This is the sweetest EVER.

6. No, sorry: the sweetest thing that has ever happened in Temptation Island. It's not that bad for me that this is the pinnacle of romance.

7. Kaj's hair is really distracting me so intensely. What kind of crazy haircut is this? He looks just like a little boy at the hockey club.

8. HAHA. René totally misses the sarcasm from Kaj with his question ‘I think you guys are going to sleep, right?’ ‘No, we're going to chat and PARTY!’ Yes, René, we kind of had that suspicion already.

9. Well, I still don't believe that Cleo and Antonio were actually a couple. This confrontation is going to be the deciding factor for me. Real or fake?

10. Okay, fake. HAHAHA. Nooo, what's happening here? The man can't even sit for a moment or it's immediately: ‘Do you feel tough now?’ Straight leg to the max in there.

11. Antonio: ‘You are embarrassing me...’ *loses his words* ‘to break the relationship...’ *loses his words again* ‘...on television.’

12. Why do Cleo and Antonio both talk as if they've lost their entire script and hope the director points that out as soon as possible? Especially Cleo talks to him as if she's reading a grocery list. I'm already more annoyed if my Thuisbezorgd order is wrong.

13. Cleo: ‘Well, I'm not walking with you.’ You both need to go the same way, to the same bus. There's only one way to walk this path, but I understand your feeling.

14. Cleo: ‘You can't call me Cleo anymore.’ That's literally your name? How wonderful that Cleo is turning into a real joker in this last episode.

15. She admits she has to laugh ‘because she's already over it.’ No no, don't lie, Cleo, you have to laugh because you also see how hilarious this situation is just like we do.

16. Wait, what? We're back in the Netherlands? With... Jan Sietse? Are we already starting the reunion and completely skipping the other couples? I totally disagree with this.

17. The Swing of Love has occurred three times this season: when Monica announced it, when Linde and Jan Sietse took it, and now in the recap. In between, everyone has completely forgotten that this is a part of the show.

18. I mean: if it still existed, then René and Annebel would have taken it at the end too, right?

19. And we already know through the always up-to-date juice channels that Linde and Jan Sietse are no longer together? NEXT.

20. Let's take a moment for Annebel's glow-up after the recordings: so much prettier with fewer lip fillers. Looking good.

21. I've lost count of how many times people have ‘realized’ things in this episode, but I dare to bet I'm over a hundred. By the way, I'm not responsible for any alcohol poisoning. I didn't see this overkill coming either.

22. Last realization of the episode: Cleo is still the dream woman for Antonio and he wants to do everything to get her back. Due to lack of credibility, this realization counts for two shots instead of one. Generous of me, huh?

23. Next week finally the polyamorous duo and Iris and Whitney. The latter is of course the one in trouble, because she last-minute went off the rails.

24. So much info in the very last second. Ivo jumps right in with his concepts; not surprising.

25. Tune in next week to Temptation Island to find out how the little one was for Whitney. Haahaaa, what a question.
