Your Tuesday Temptation Island Talk Ep 5 Recap and Open Thread

Welcome back to the Tuesday Temptation Island Talk Open Thread! Let’s get right to it!

***

What Happened?

The Boys got their bonfire. Eliminations. Threesome. Girls got a new bonfire.

Yes, you read that correctly. There was a threesome. Surprise surprise, it involved Kendal and Alexcys.

Let’s get to it.

***

Was there anything juicy or were there funny moments?

Let’s take them chronologically:

• The title of the episode is “Three’s Company” and I highly doubt that Jack Tripper is stepping through that door.
• We start off with the “Previously on” and it is just so much bullshit…
• It’s the Boys’ turn to have their bonfires and Corey starts by seeing Erin talk to Shaquille and him saying that he’s better than her boyfriend.
• Surprisingly, Corey doesn’t disagree. He thinks he needs to open up and I’m not sure if he’s talking about Erin pegging him but I’m pretty sure Shaquille would let her do that to him. Your move, Corey!
• Kendal and Erica are so done, it’s not even funny. Kendal is already moving on to figuring out who works better for him.
• Tom knows what “Dirty Mack” is and I feel ok knowing that what I think is a Dirty Mac is different from what Tom thinks is a Dirty Mack.
• On the ride back to the villa, Julian tells Tom that Chelsea is a hypocrite and I’m starting to like Julian.
• “You are going to be the best momma!” That is a really weird thing to say to Erica after she saw Kendal banging Alexcys. Apparently, watching your partner cheat on you makes you strong? If that was the case, she should take on Magnus Von Magnusson because every partner she has ever had has cheated on her.
• Julian is crying in his bed because Kristen is still having doubts while Kendal is waking up with naked Alexcys next to him.
• “I’ve never opened up this early”. Sure, Alexcys, whatever you say. Oh, you meant the butthole? I still don’t believe you.
• Kendal is the only one that gets a hot tub in his room because he’s the only one “getting after it”.
• Elimination Time!! The Boys can eliminate as many as they want. Kendal is ready to fire somebody!
• The boys choose the model chick and two brunettes that I haven’t really mentioned before, so it makes sense.
• The girls choose the troublemakers: Evan, Tommy, Trent, and Rocky.
• This is the BEST part of the show because the Single Boys give the coupled girls shit! This is GREAT!
• No one likes Kristen. I’m loving this.
• At the Boys’ Villa, it’s Taco Night and Kendal knows what that means…
• Meanwhile, the Coupled Girls and the Single Boys are having a Glow In The Dark party.
• Erin pushes everyone away that gets close to her. She says this as she’s talking to Shaquille and pushing him away.
• One of the girls dares Nickole and Alexcys to skinny dip and Julian can’t believe it.
• Apparently, Nickole is bisexual and guess who is going to be the third person in the threesome tonight?

• Alexcys says the threesome was something out of her comfort zone and something new and I don’t believe her for a second.
• Nickole, on the other hand, is a very polite threesome participant as she thanks them for the good time when she leaves the bed.
• Alex from Sacramento has only had gummy bears and scotch while he’s been on the island and I’m telling you that he would fit in perfectly at DFO!
• Kristen has a Deep Dark Secret that she can’t reveal and she’s jealous that Erica can open up and talk about her problems so easily.
• Mark L comes in and tells the girls there’s a bonfire tonight.
• “I don’t think I’m going to see anything worse than the last bonfire”. Oh, Erica. Just you wait.
• Chelsea goes first and sees Julian calling her a hypocrite. Then Tom picks up Sofia. Mark L tells her that her effort to control things is why she’s in pain and that’s TRUTH.
• Erin sees the girls talking bad about Erin. They think Erin wants to break up with Corey. Erin disagrees.
• Erica sees the threesome. There is nothing really to say here.
• Kristen sees Julian crying and that makes her sad.
• Mark finally asks, “What happened?” and it turns out her brother overdosed and died.
• A bit of a downer if you ask me, but that’s where the episode ends.

Which couples are breaking up?

Couple #1

I bash Chelsea a lot and for good reason, but then you get to the point where you start wondering if Tom is an idiot for being with her despite knowing all her faults. Is he that stupid?

Couple #2

Erica is beyond help if she sticks with Kendal after this. Sadly, she’s stuck with him before, so…

Couple #3

See? I’m not the complete asshole everyone thinks I am! I still see hope for these two! Of course, it helps that she’s the only sane one in the female group.

Couple #4

Julian crying over Kristen was the saddest thing I’ve seen in a long time because she is SO NOT WORTH IT. Go find yourself a good lady, young man!

***

Are there any Singles that stood out/you’d like to bang?

Amanda looks good without makeup and that’s the sign of a keeper right there.

I think the only other Single I think is tolerable is Alex from Sacramento. He’s a goofy bastard and we’re all better off for having him on the show.
