Well when I think of the title “Temptation Island”, I picture this island full of food and a bunch of obese people tryin to lose weight while being tempted to eat. I think this would make the show interesting. Let me in on your opinions. ---

Yeah! we could fill the island with those really skinny super models and see how they fair with people tempting them with food 24/7 🙂 ---

Well Plantman that’s a great idea too. I’m glad that you were brave enough to give some input on this idea. Thanks:) ---

Priests with altar boys. Hehe…😛 Do any priests frequent the board? if so…::d&r:: Necrophiliacs and corpses!! ---

Bill Clinton and ugly, over weight White House interns. But, to quote Chris Rock, that would “be like playing basketball with a retard, and calling him for double dribble.” ---

I think this would make the show interesting. Let me in on your opinions. Lord knows I don’t want to go all PC on everyone and I don’t want to be a spoil sport, but really, Amber. As someone who is trying to lose weight (and I speak for my husband as well)…it’s not so funny to have people use us as their little court jesters, laughing at us and thinking that all we do is sit around and stuff our faces all day, running after food like Augustus Gloop. :: shrug :: could be the PMS talking, but this rubbed me the wrong way. jarbaby ---

I’m with jarbaby…not real funny, IMO. I _do_ like Cheese Head’s idea, though. ---

My opinion: It would be painful to watch. It would not be funny but sad that people were being exploited like that. How about watching trolls try to resist online message boards?😉 ---

Dear Lord, give me the strength to resist the overwhelming temptation to dive through this computer screen and throttle the pimple-faced, “Look’ee me, I’m so adorably cute”, Britney Spear wanna be, dick tease virgin. I fear my strength is weakening, oh Lord, the temptation to rub skank blood over my body, too strong. I pray the power to escape these evil urges. Forever and ever, amen.
