I think one of the articles linked here quoted that the producers weren’t going to flat-out reject someone who had a police record. Their logic was that they truly wanted to have all kinds, and someone who’d gotten a drunk-and-disorderly charge (for instance) when they were 23 might not be the same person they were then, but would still be an interesting subject. I’d look up the exact quote, but it’s late.

Well, they knew about the one charge. But an anonymous CBS exec was quoted as saying if they knew about the other four they would have rejected him.

Some people claim that the “Temptation Island” producers knew all along that that one couple had a kid, and decided to use that information as/if necessary. Wouldn’t surprise me.

Well, the people who claim that are Ytossie and Taheed (the couple in question), and they are doing so in their lawsuit. I’m not terribly inclined to believe them without further evidence.

At the end, when they asked us to call and vote on which item the houseguests should receive, I was thinking, “If Hardy promises to use it every day, I will gladly call to vote for the pull-up bar.” That man is so dreamy…
And I almost felt sorry for Autumn. I mean, I knew she’d get kicked out, but a 7-0 vote? That’s pretty harsh.
