00:00:05Hello, and welcome to Temptation Island, the reunion.
00:00:09This season, it was the same island, but with a lot more temptation, higher stakes, and all new twists.
00:00:16Our couples and some of the singles will be joining us for the first time since leaving the island,
00:00:20and everything that was left unsaid will be said tonight.
00:00:24You don't know the mental problem that I went through when you go to the...
00:00:29Oh, damn, damn, damn.
00:00:32So, Alexis, were you sure that I was the father of this child?
00:00:38Okay, narcissistic behavior.
00:00:40Put a condom on. I was lost.
00:00:42Okay, well, get lost somewhere else.
00:00:44He put a ring on your finger, and you brought him here.
00:00:46Listen, I'm a girl's girl. I'm not doing this with you.
00:00:50No.
00:00:51You lied to me our entire relationship when I first met you.
00:00:55It's all happening right here on Temptation Island, the reunion.
00:01:01You're not gonna tempt me
00:01:03You'll never forget me
00:01:07You're not gonna tempt me
00:01:28So let's jump right into it, and we're gonna say hello to our couples first.
00:01:31You'll remember them. Paul and Caitlin, Roberto and Vanessa are here, Christopher and Maricela, and Paris and Great, and of
00:01:43course, what would their journey have been on Temptation Island without the single men and single women?
00:01:48So some of them are here tonight. Thank you all for being here.
00:01:53This season of Temptation Island was full of new twists.
00:01:57I mean, you guys never knew what was coming next.
00:02:00You never knew what you were gonna see, because the island was always watching.
00:02:04Take a look.
00:02:09I'm sure you didn't expect to be at a bonfire on your first night on the island.
00:02:12I didn't, to be honest.
00:02:13Not at all.
00:02:14For the first time in Temptation Island history, we're gonna have a party where all the singles and the couples...
00:02:22What?
00:02:22...will be together.
00:02:26Their girlfriends are looking this way.
00:02:28They're not liking it.
00:02:30Temptation light.
00:02:31When it's on, that means that one of your partners in the other villa has given in to Temptation.
00:02:41Maybe Paris really did suck.
00:02:43Bitch, you got the f***ing stuff.
00:02:45I...
00:02:51Yo, red light.
00:02:54Yo, it's lit.
00:02:59Seriously, guys, f***ing that line.
00:03:01Look at that.
00:03:02Let's light up their shit.
00:03:07Singles, you will have the option to send a message as well.
00:03:10I just hope that you're getting out of this experience what you like as much as great is on our
00:03:15side of the island.
00:03:16Thank you for bringing Hall to this island, because I would have never met my soulmate.
00:03:21This just spiced things up.
00:03:25What was the one twist that really rocked you?
00:03:27The light.
00:03:28I didn't know we were gonna party with it either.
00:03:30The video message for me.
00:03:32Definitely the video message.
00:03:33That was a lot.
00:03:34We're partying with the couples.
00:03:36And the light.
00:03:37Yeah, the light was interesting.
00:03:38Yeah, the light was a lot.
00:03:39I just think being separated, it's so easy to forget about your other half, especially with all the distractions.
00:03:44And then the light definitely brought the couples back to thinking about what the hell they're doing here.
00:03:50It was a trigger, for sure.
00:03:52And it didn't matter who set off the light.
00:03:55It affected me the same way every single time I saw it go off.
00:03:58When the light went off, did you assume naturally that it was your partner that set the light off?
00:04:03At first of all.
00:04:04The opposite.
00:04:05I mean, it can't be my man.
00:04:07Yeah, I feel like we're all like, no, it's not.
00:04:08And it wasn't.
00:04:10And.
00:04:10It wasn't?
00:04:11Well, hell no, it wasn't.
00:04:13I didn't turn that light red one time.
00:04:16You didn't turn the light red one time, huh?
00:04:18Nope.
00:04:19I mean, me too, but towards the end.
00:04:22Hey, yo.
00:04:23Shut up.
00:04:25Speak your truth.
00:04:26Yeah.
00:04:27We're early in this, so let's just move on.
00:04:30Yeah.
00:04:31Okay.
00:04:32Paris and Great both came to the island hoping Great would be able to fight off temptation.
00:04:37But both learned that it's called Temptation Island for a reason, isn't it, folks?
00:04:41Let's watch.
00:04:46I'm excited to see what happens.
00:04:48I don't know what I'm walking into, but I'm open to it.
00:04:51You better behave.
00:04:52I am going to behave.
00:04:55Keep going.
00:04:56Keep showing.
00:04:57See that?
00:04:58See that video?
00:05:01If you do any crazy stuff, I'm not taking you back again.
00:05:05Hey, it goes both ways.
00:05:09Are you excited to take it to the next level?
00:05:12I am real bad.
00:05:13If there was no cameras, I would suck his d**k, but I can't because there's cameras.
00:05:17So I seem like a good girl, you know?
00:05:20I am so tempted into doing things with Tajik, and I'm just scared that I'm going to do things
00:05:25that I shouldn't in bed.
00:05:27Explain that.
00:05:29What I saw was Paris and Tajik having sex.
00:05:35Hey, bro.
00:05:36I am a single guy now, so I'm just going to actually not hold back and worry about Paris
00:05:43this time.
00:05:48I feel disrespected.
00:05:51I feel embarrassed.
00:05:52I didn't even do anything.
00:05:52I have decided to leave the island with Mephisa.
00:06:00Okay.
00:06:00I decided to leave this island with someone else, which is Tajik.
00:06:04I hope he can keep you smiling like I did.
00:06:13Okay.
00:06:14You both left the island with other people.
00:06:19What's the status of your relationship to each other now?
00:06:22When I first came out of the house, I didn't talk to Paris for like a week or two, and
00:06:27I
00:06:27felt like, you know, I need to like get a lot of stuff out of my chest.
00:06:32Why are you rolling your eyes?
00:06:34Because, Mark, it took great two months after the island to come and ask me how I am.
00:06:40Like, I, like, I really went to crazy.
00:06:42You blocked me.
00:06:43Okay, but you could have like emailed me or something, or you could have your sister calling
00:06:47me.
00:06:47Like, he did not care about me after the island.
00:06:50Before coming here, we started talking.
00:06:52I was just telling her like, you know, I see something going on with me or her, and just,
00:06:56you know, like, this love right there.
00:06:58Were you going to get back together?
00:07:00No.
00:07:01That's, that's crazy.
00:07:02Where, where did the switch up come from?
00:07:04I'm just hurt because he left the island with Nafisa, and then a few months later, he wanted
00:07:10to get back with me.
00:07:11Like, I'm not going to be nobody else's second choice.
00:07:14Like, he was literally making connection with every single girl in the house.
00:07:18Like, he was easy to get.
00:07:19Guys, do you guys think so?
00:07:19Yes.
00:07:20Yes.
00:07:21Hey, it was only three.
00:07:22Yes.
00:07:23You only slept with one person, and everyone else was trying to get with you.
00:07:28I was a faithful Nigerian man.
00:07:29Just say that.
00:07:30You were not a faithful Nigerian man.
00:07:32I was faithful.
00:07:32I was a faithful Nigerian man.
00:07:33I was a faithful Nigerian man.
00:07:34You was over there eating ass.
00:07:36Mark.
00:07:36Whoa.
00:07:37Having sex.
00:07:37Mark, I was licking.
00:07:39I'm not taking you back.
00:07:40It was not ass I was eating.
00:07:41I was licking, what do you call it?
00:07:42Syrup.
00:07:43No, what do you call that stuff?
00:07:44Whip cream.
00:07:44Whip cream.
00:07:45Off of what?
00:07:47Mark, I was just licking whipped cream.
00:07:48That was it, Mark.
00:07:49You were playing games.
00:07:50Please, please.
00:07:51Timmy, you're just mad I didn't pick you.
00:07:53Just say that.
00:07:53No.
00:07:53Honestly.
00:07:54I'm not mad because she didn't pick me, boo.
00:07:56I'm not mad.
00:07:57I don't want you.
00:07:58That's what it seems like.
00:07:59I don't want you.
00:07:59Look at me.
00:08:00I don't want you.
00:08:01But she did.
00:08:01Carry on.
00:08:03Everybody's going to see that and just think, I got there, and I just started wilding.
00:08:06Like, it wasn't like that.
00:08:08Me and Nafisa, what we had was, I thought it was genuine, and I didn't start doing anything
00:08:13with her until towards the end.
00:08:16You don't want to even look at him.
00:08:17I don't care.
00:08:18And yet, you could say that, was it Maricela you were kissing or somebody?
00:08:23Right?
00:08:24You hold a standard to one person, but you don't hold it to yourself, and you don't see that
00:08:29hypocrisy.
00:08:31Mark, I didn't have sex.
00:08:32I'm curious on what happened at the overnight stay.
00:08:35There was no cameras there.
00:08:36I saw you make comments about what you would do if the cameras were not around, and honestly,
00:08:44I was hurt hearing that.
00:08:45Because it made you feel what?
00:08:49Disuspected.
00:08:49Did you do what you said you were going to do if the cameras were not here?
00:08:55No.
00:08:56I didn't talk his d***.
00:08:57I didn't.
00:08:58Is that true?
00:09:02I think this is a good place to pause for a sec.
00:09:04We'll be right back, though, with more Temptation Island, the reunion.
00:09:20I want to hear the truth.
00:09:21Did you do what you said you were going to do if the cameras were not here?
00:09:24No.
00:09:25I didn't talk his d***.
00:09:26I didn't.
00:09:27Is that true?
00:09:30Nah, she needs a d***.
00:09:33I don't know if I believe it, but that comment just made me feel like he never wanted to
00:09:37be with me, honestly.
00:09:39Thank you for being honest.
00:09:42I want the best for you guys, and I'm telling you that there's a lot more for you to discover.
00:09:46I don't know if it'll lead you back together or partner.
00:09:48I just want you happy and you happy.
00:09:51Okay?
00:09:52Let's move on.
00:09:53Paris and Great both hit it off with some singles on the island.
00:09:56Paris had her eye on Tajik.
00:09:59Let's watch.
00:10:00So, you ready?
00:10:02What's going on, ladies?
00:10:03I'm Tajik.
00:10:03Just real quick.
00:10:04Why are you getting me nervous?
00:10:05Oh, I'm making you nervous.
00:10:06Hold on.
00:10:07What you trying to say?
00:10:08I'm cute as a d***?
00:10:08You are handsome.
00:10:10You do look good, but I feel like I have to get to know you.
00:10:14Oh, God.
00:10:19What's some of that?
00:10:22Lord have mercy.
00:10:23I lost my mind.
00:10:25What do you want to know?
00:10:26I want to know, like, what do you want in life?
00:10:29That's all.
00:10:30Don't ask me that until, like, the first year.
00:10:32Because when I take you off the island and we're together and all that,
00:10:36then ask me what I want from you.
00:10:38A year?
00:10:39Yep.
00:10:39That's insane.
00:10:41I was begging you to understand me,
00:10:44and I wasn't trying to understand you.
00:10:46And I'm sorry.
00:10:47Well, thank you for apologizing.
00:10:49I hate being mad at you.
00:10:51We just paint, like, where we see ourselves in the future, right?
00:10:54And I see myself moving to Miami with you.
00:10:58You know what I mean?
00:10:59I feel like this is it.
00:11:01I feel like I fell on my mask.
00:11:02I feel like I am more connected to you than great.
00:11:05Hearing that is just, like, music to my ears, man.
00:11:08For real.
00:11:09I was wondering, do you want to leave this island with me?
00:11:14Hell yeah.
00:11:15You scared me.
00:11:17You two can leave the island, and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
00:11:23A lot of emotion there.
00:11:25You look very happy.
00:11:26You left the island together.
00:11:27What happened?
00:11:29Ask him.
00:11:29What happened?
00:11:30Um, I mean, we didn't have time to exchange information.
00:11:34I gave everything to him.
00:11:36My email, my number, my social, my Instagram, my Snapchat, everything.
00:11:40He never hit me up, never said anything.
00:11:42Why you ain't hit me up then?
00:11:44I mean, damn.
00:11:44Are you serious?
00:11:45I'm going to work both ways.
00:11:46Are you going to sit here and lie?
00:11:47Because I did text you on Instagram, and you never responded.
00:11:51I get all kinds of messages, but...
00:11:53You're not fake.
00:11:54Damn, man.
00:11:56Listen, listen.
00:11:58Come on, man.
00:11:59Listen.
00:11:59I get all types of DMs.
00:12:01There's all types of stamina.
00:12:03Get out.
00:12:04Get out.
00:12:04Just be real.
00:12:05If you wasn't feeling her, just say that.
00:12:06Listen, I was rocking with Paris, man.
00:12:08Like, you can't fake that, man.
00:12:10I need a SAG card if I can fake that.
00:12:12You know what I'm saying?
00:12:13You don't know the mental problem that I went through when you go.
00:12:17Like, you don't know what I went through.
00:12:19Don't f***ing lie with me.
00:12:20I care for you, Tajik.
00:12:21And for you to go try to ghost me, bro.
00:12:24Listen, listen.
00:12:25Boy, just say it, man.
00:12:26Just say you're not into her.
00:12:27Just say it.
00:12:27If he was nying to me, Tajik...
00:12:28Get off of me.
00:12:29If he was nying to me, if he was nying to me, Tajik, like,
00:12:32you could have simply said, Paris, I'm nying to you, whatever,
00:12:34and I would have understand.
00:12:35Listen, I took a bunch of different avenues in the time that we got to know each other,
00:12:41and, you know, I hit bumps on all of them.
00:12:44You know what I'm saying?
00:12:45What are you saying?
00:12:45And we made it to the end, but I'm saying...
00:12:47Bro, bro, bro.
00:12:48Is nobody understanding what I'm saying?
00:12:51Tajik, you're going to man up right now and just say,
00:12:53sorry, Paris.
00:12:54I just didn't feel that way anymore.
00:12:57Okay?
00:12:57I'm not trying to say that.
00:12:58Just take it, bro.
00:12:59Please, bro.
00:13:03Paris, I want to apologize for not reaching out.
00:13:07I know an explanation isn't really necessary,
00:13:10but a few things I'm dealing with makes it hard for me to, you know,
00:13:17have a lot of faith in some things.
00:13:19The way you hurt me, I just hope you don't do that to the next person.
00:13:23You are not obligated to be with me,
00:13:25but I just wish you respect people's feelings.
00:13:29And that was an adult conversation.
00:13:34Okay.
00:13:36For great, things got complicated when he found himself in a love triangle with Tammy and Nafisa.
00:13:42But eventually, he changed his approach, and he gave all of his attention to Nafisa.
00:13:47Take a look.
00:13:54There's eight girls in the house.
00:13:56Three got my attention.
00:13:57I don't know how this is going to play out, but I got a game plan.
00:14:01Nafisa, would you go on a date with me?
00:14:03Yes.
00:14:05Oh my God, that was great.
00:14:08Oh my God.
00:14:10Oh my God.
00:14:10Oh my God.
00:14:11Oh my God.
00:14:11Oh my God.
00:14:11Oh my God.
00:14:13Why would you ask me on a date and then do that?
00:14:17I want to explore everybody, give everybody a chance.
00:14:19I got to do what Greg got to do.
00:14:21This is my story.
00:14:23I'm the main character.
00:14:26Do you guys see me sitting right here?
00:14:29So where do I stand?
00:14:31Because at this point, like, I just feel like you're not giving me the chance for that connection
00:14:35to grow.
00:14:36You want to hang with the thirsty bitches, you can't have the thirsty bitches.
00:14:38It's up to you.
00:14:38You choose.
00:14:39Can I have a shower with me?
00:14:40God.
00:14:41All right, dude.
00:14:42I'm going to give you another chance, but don't play with me anymore.
00:14:47My God.
00:14:50Thirsty bitches won.
00:14:52I wasn't expecting this, but I'm starting to fall for it.
00:15:00I'm going to leave the island with you.
00:15:02I'm wondering if you are just as happy as I am.
00:15:06I am very happy to hear that.
00:15:15Aw.
00:15:19What happened with you guys after you left the island, and where do you stand now?
00:15:23I went to New York, and I met Great's, like, family, his sisters, his brothers.
00:15:29Introducing the family sounds like the beginning of relationship.
00:15:32That was my understanding of it.
00:15:34But we kind of just stopped speaking, I feel like.
00:15:37I feel like things kind of, like, move fast on the island.
00:15:40So when we came out, I was like, you know what?
00:15:42Like, let's not put pressure on it.
00:15:43Let's just take things, like, slow.
00:15:45And, like, the first two months, everything was good.
00:15:48And I guess the honeymoon phase just died out.
00:15:49So he definitely has a lot going on and a lot of learning to do.
00:15:54And I'm not going to be the fixer of that.
00:15:57I definitely feel like their relationship was more just, like, physical and stuff.
00:16:01How do you know that?
00:16:02How do you know that?
00:16:02We didn't ask you.
00:16:03I mean, that's just my opinion.
00:16:05You're just mad, Tammy.
00:16:06Honestly.
00:16:07I'm not mad.
00:16:07You really are.
00:16:08I'm not mad.
00:16:08I'm not a mean girl, honey.
00:16:10I'm a fun girl.
00:16:11Okay, angry.
00:16:12You are more worried about me.
00:16:13Okay, angry.
00:16:13Like, you're literally like a stalker.
00:16:15Like, as soon as I talked to the guy, you're, like, right here.
00:16:17We were all in the house.
00:16:19We know what happened.
00:16:20Even when they formed a connection, he was still talking to Tammy.
00:16:23And I could see how that was starting to hurt her.
00:16:25This guy was never direct with anybody.
00:16:28Like, he would say this, then he'd go over there, then he'd say that, then he'd say that.
00:16:31In the beginning, yes, there was connection with me and you.
00:16:34But then again, I made it clear that I...
00:16:35Okay, but you're acting like I'm just, like...
00:16:37Tammy, did I make it clear that I want us to just be friends?
00:16:39Did I say that?
00:16:39Shut up.
00:16:40Well, I'm clear that you don't care about him.
00:16:42Although I don't believe that.
00:16:43But that's okay.
00:16:45But what you did hear was from not just her and several of them saying their experience of you in
00:16:50the house.
00:16:51I come first.
00:16:52No matter if I'm feeling somebody, I'm going to protect myself, my feelings.
00:16:56Okay, so I will say...
00:16:58Oh, God.
00:16:58...all the single girls, we came into the house, especially me, to make real connection as well.
00:17:04So the fact that...
00:17:05You feel like she wasn't there to make a real connection?
00:17:06I'm not saying she wasn't.
00:17:07But she's saying, oh, she's getting mad at Gray for talking to me and this, and she wasn't insulting me.
00:17:12Like, I have all right to talk to Gray as well.
00:17:15Just like everybody.
00:17:16Tammy, can I tell you what I hear?
00:17:18Nafisa hurt your feelings.
00:17:19She was very rude to me, yes.
00:17:21Okay.
00:17:21Yes, she was.
00:17:22I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, Tammy.
00:17:27Okay.
00:17:28I need to hear from you.
00:17:30What do you want to hear?
00:17:31How do you feel about Nafisa now?
00:17:33Um, I just want to know, like...
00:17:36Why don't you close to you?
00:17:37She didn't go see me.
00:17:39I mean, I think the love is still there.
00:17:40It's just, I want to know if I did something wrong for us to stop talking.
00:17:46It's okay, you can cry.
00:17:49So do you still have feelings for Nafisa?
00:17:51Feelings is there, yeah.
00:17:52And then you wanted to get back with me?
00:17:54The feelings is there, too.
00:17:55Huh?
00:17:56So I'm confused might be the better answer.
00:17:58Confused, yeah.
00:17:59When you hear that he has feelings for you, how does that make you feel?
00:18:03It feels refreshing.
00:18:05We shared a connection on the island.
00:18:09So you give people pieces of you little by little, and you see if they deserve things from you like
00:18:15that.
00:18:15You don't just give yourself all the way to somebody.
00:18:18I know, because it's really dangerous.
00:18:20Yes, very much so.
00:18:21Great.
00:18:22Any last words?
00:18:23I said what I had to say.
00:18:24Okay.
00:18:25Paris, anything you want to say?
00:18:27Well, I just want to say I'm happy with myself because I really open up about how I felt with
00:18:32Tajik.
00:18:33And I'm not even, like, mad at him.
00:18:35I'm not angry.
00:18:37Okay.
00:18:38Let's give it up for Paris.
00:18:39Great.
00:18:39Tajik, Nafisa, Tammy, everybody.
00:18:45We're going to hear from Caitlin and Hall about their life after the island.
00:18:49So don't go anywhere.
00:18:51This is A Temptation Island.
00:18:52The Reunion will be right back.
00:19:10Welcome back to Temptation Island.
00:19:12The Reunion.
00:19:13Caitlin and Hall came to the island after being together for eight years.
00:19:17And they've been engaged for a year, but for some reason, they weren't moving any closer to marriage.
00:19:23So they came to the island to find out why.
00:19:25Let's take a look.
00:19:26Being here, I'm, like, nervous because now he can be around single girls.
00:19:30I can't imagine a woman coming in here and changing my mind and my heart.
00:19:36We've been engaged for, like, a year now, but, like, I haven't made any wedding plans.
00:19:40All?
00:19:40I want to pick them all.
00:19:42No.
00:19:43I thought you were going with that.
00:19:44I've already broken up with her once, begged to get her back, and now I'm having doubts again.
00:19:52Woo!
00:19:54Is this part of your Imagine Mike trick?
00:19:56The light you showed on your face and the happiness when you said you want a family, I've never seen
00:20:02that from Caitlin.
00:20:03I'm not ready for kids.
00:20:05Whenever I say things like that, he thinks I'm too focused on my career and not enough on the relationship.
00:20:12And I'm like, why can't I have both?
00:20:14You have been what I've been searching for, and I'm so happy, and I don't give a shit.
00:20:22Maybe I've hid the truth from myself.
00:20:24Maybe our eight years led me here to finally figure out what I want and what I need.
00:20:30I've got to talk to Caitlin.
00:20:32We are not meant to be together.
00:20:34This is real.
00:20:35We're really done.
00:20:36This is real.
00:20:38Wow.
00:20:39I feel stupid.
00:20:40I feel betrayed.
00:20:41I just feel all the feelings I felt four years ago.
00:20:45Oh, my God.
00:20:49I clearly have a lot I need to work on, but I cannot deny I want to leave here with
00:20:57Michaela.
00:20:57I think you're very selfish.
00:20:59It took everything in me to forgive you the first time, and I'll never be fooled again.
00:21:03I hope.
00:21:09How was that watching that final bonfire moment for you guys now?
00:21:13It was exactly like I remember.
00:21:15I remember walking into the bonfire and not knowing who this person was that I was looking
00:21:18at, not the person I came in with, and me being like, this is it.
00:21:23And how did you feel?
00:21:24I, uh, like hiding my emotions and my feelings, and this show completely stripped all that out
00:21:31of me.
00:21:31Have you guys seen each other since the island?
00:21:33I went over to his townhome in Charleston to get a few, like, random remainers and to
00:21:39talk about the ring.
00:21:40The engagement ring and whether you would keep it or give it back, what's up with that?
00:21:44So the truth is, is I stopped paying for the ring, uh, when I found out I was going to
00:21:49Temptation Island.
00:21:50So you told me it was paid off?
00:21:52I sure did.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:54I mean, I'll tell, everybody knows this.
00:21:56I lied to myself for eight years.
00:21:58You lied to Caitlyn as well.
00:21:59Absolutely.
00:22:00Well, he said it.
00:22:01No shit, Sherlock.
00:22:03I've said it a million f***ing times.
00:22:04I'm clarifying that.
00:22:05Dude, that is my biggest fault, is me lying to myself to please other people.
00:22:10I cried myself to sleep every single night.
00:22:14I accept it.
00:22:15I fully take responsibility for my actions.
00:22:20So, going back to the ring, I was scared because I didn't know the outcome.
00:22:24I did not want to come on this show.
00:22:26I mean, to take an engaged man to an island with single women and freaking...
00:22:31So you could have said no.
00:22:32I did say no a million times.
00:22:34At first, when you said no, I said, okay, let's let it go.
00:22:36Then we kept going, going, going.
00:22:38I provide.
00:22:38Here we go.
00:22:39What have you done for me is coming next.
00:22:41I never felt a partnership from you.
00:22:44So why did you come back into my life three and a half years ago and waste my f***ing time?
00:22:46Because I was lost.
00:22:47That is the question.
00:22:48I was lost.
00:22:48Everyone wants to know.
00:22:49I was lost.
00:22:50Okay, well, get lost somewhere else.
00:22:51Like, what the hell?
00:22:52He's lost over here.
00:22:54Have him.
00:22:55Please.
00:22:56Do your problems now.
00:22:58But man, I came to the island lost way beyond what I thought I was.
00:23:03So the thing is, you should have said something before the island, then why?
00:23:05Hell yeah, I should have.
00:23:06Okay, well, thank you for acknowledging that.
00:23:08Yeah.
00:23:10This experience, whew, it was awful.
00:23:13I'm so glad we did it.
00:23:14It was the worst but best thing that's ever happened.
00:23:17Were you saying that facetiously or for real?
00:23:19No, I'm very grateful we came on.
00:23:20I would have married him.
00:23:21Clearly what he did was like, f*** up.
00:23:23You guys are all defending him, like, if it's some crazy ass shit.
00:23:25But we lived with him, we know the real him.
00:23:26You only know what she's heard.
00:23:27She's been with him for eight years.
00:23:29I think if anybody knows her good, it's her.
00:23:30And she said she had to find her emotions by dating random men.
00:23:33Yeah, well, she said it.
00:23:34I saw a guy that said, for eight years, didn't feel an emotional connection with somebody for
00:23:38eight years.
00:23:38How the f*** do you not know?
00:23:39That's a two-way street.
00:23:40I was searching, bro.
00:23:41Eight years.
00:23:42Are you the love doctor over there?
00:23:44You don't come back into someone's life if you're unsure.
00:23:47And you don't take them back unless you're sure.
00:23:49I was sure.
00:23:50I said, yeah.
00:23:51And then you brought him to Tentatian Island.
00:23:52That's not being sure.
00:23:53He put a room on your finger and you brought him here.
00:23:56Listen, I'm a girl's girl.
00:23:57I'm not doing this with you.
00:23:58I'm not engaging.
00:23:58I know.
00:23:58I am too, but I'm also not going to let people drag home.
00:24:00You don't know anything about me in my past eight years.
00:24:03I've never had romantic, emotional feelings with her.
00:24:07I've never had.
00:24:08What you actually are saying is that you had a friendship connection, but you didn't have
00:24:11an emotional connection.
00:24:12So, again, why do you propose to someone?
00:24:15Because I thought it was the right thing to do.
00:24:17Right.
00:24:17That's the shittiest answer I've literally ever heard.
00:24:19Shit.
00:24:20I know that.
00:24:20That's what he's saying.
00:24:21I wasn't trying to comment at him.
00:24:23I was trying to let her know not to defend.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25It seems a little crazy that you were staying in a relationship for eight years, but if
00:24:28you don't know you're lying to yourself and something has to shake that up, you're not
00:24:32the first that that's happened to.
00:24:33And on the same token, there was something stopping you.
00:24:36Like, you felt something too.
00:24:38And that's why you said you're grateful for the experience, I assume.
00:24:40Right?
00:24:41Very grateful, yeah.
00:24:41I should have never gone back into your life.
00:24:43I love your family and your friends, and I have love for you and your-
00:24:47Family.
00:24:47You talk about family a lot.
00:24:49Yeah.
00:24:49And have you reached out to my family?
00:24:51I was waiting for the right moment.
00:24:52Her family means a lot to me.
00:24:54You might consider this.
00:24:56There's never going to be a right time for bad news.
00:24:58I mean, I'm in a lose-lose situation.
00:24:59I might as well lay on the ground and get run over by a train, because all y'all told
00:25:03me to do is speak about my feelings and be true to myself, so I'm finally doing it.
00:25:07Right.
00:25:07But I won't get just run over 400 freaking times for being real.
00:25:11You seem angry.
00:25:12I am.
00:25:13And defensive.
00:25:14I am, because I'm a good man, and I come from a good place.
00:25:17And you feel that people think what?
00:25:19That I'm an asshole.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:20And that I break women's hearts.
00:25:22Because you are.
00:25:23Well, who's not?
00:25:23We were best friends.
00:25:24It was definitely comfortable.
00:25:26But I would have married you.
00:25:28I'm very happy we're both in better places now.
00:25:30And there we go.
00:25:31That's a good place to take a break.
00:25:32But when we come back, we're going to hear from Mike and Seb.
00:25:36Don't go anywhere.
00:25:37This is Temptation Island, The Reunion.
00:25:44You're not going to tempt me.
00:25:55Welcome back to Temptation Island.
00:25:57The Reunion.
00:25:58I'm here with Caitlin Hall, Michaela, Sebastian, and Mike.
00:26:03Both of you formed relationships on the island with singles.
00:26:06At first, Caitlin, you formed a connection with Mike.
00:26:09And the two of you started to get closer and closer.
00:26:12But then out of nowhere, Sebastian showed up.
00:26:14He made a move.
00:26:15And a romantic connection was formed.
00:26:17Let's take a look at that.
00:26:19What's your type?
00:26:21You guys.
00:26:22More my type than my southern gentleman.
00:26:26First date in what, five years?
00:26:28First date in a long time, yeah.
00:26:29Long time.
00:26:30I just feel comfortable with Mike.
00:26:31I literally got up from the conversation with him and was like, why did I just tell him so much?
00:26:35Finally, Caitlin.
00:26:36I think he might just be the one.
00:26:46Seve's like the bad boy, like, tatted, like, sexy, attractive.
00:26:51Oh, yeah.
00:26:52Goodness gracious.
00:26:54All right.
00:26:55Sebastian likes Caitlin.
00:26:56It's whatever at this point.
00:27:00Oh, I got jealous.
00:27:02I know for a fact.
00:27:05Seve is here for different reasons.
00:27:07I think it's turned into a little competition with Mike now.
00:27:10I want to get to know you both, but not like this.
00:27:12You're the first girl that I've had feelings for since my ex.
00:27:15Here we are, catching feelings.
00:27:17Caitlin is single.
00:27:19Paul just let go of a girl that's not only beautiful, but she has her shit together.
00:27:24She's smart.
00:27:24She's funny.
00:27:25Her personality is amazing.
00:27:26So, like, yeah.
00:27:28I don't even want to talk about him.
00:27:30I'm officially single.
00:27:31I, like, don't know what to feel.
00:27:33I'm going to just call off my engagement.
00:27:34It's been a night.
00:27:38I don't take it for granted.
00:27:39I don't want you to feel taken for granted.
00:27:40But I don't want to hurt you.
00:27:43Like, I want to be friends.
00:27:44Caitlin basically friend zones me.
00:27:46So, cheers to whatever this is.
00:27:50Cheers.
00:27:51I never thought I'd have a connection like this with someone else so soon.
00:27:55I do think there is something there.
00:28:01So, Seb.
00:28:03Mark.
00:28:04Did you guys stay in touch after the island?
00:28:06We talked for a little bit.
00:28:08But then, you know, I did in my ex long distance as well.
00:28:11And I know it's tough.
00:28:12So, when I got back home, all those, like, fears came back to me.
00:28:16And it just, I'm the type to, like, run away.
00:28:18Pretty honest.
00:28:19If we lived in the same place, it would have for sure continued.
00:28:22So, how do you feel about Caitlin right this second?
00:28:25I don't fake feelings.
00:28:26So, I still obviously feel all those feelings that I felt.
00:28:29And do you still feel a connection?
00:28:30Yeah.
00:28:31I mean, I like Sebby.
00:28:32I was, like, intrigued to see where it went.
00:28:35What can you say Sebastian's contribution to your journey was?
00:28:39Oh, I mean, between Mike and Sebastian, like, I would have tried to leave the island every
00:28:42morning if it wasn't for them to.
00:28:43Like, they were so helpful.
00:28:46And I appreciate them so much.
00:28:48More than they'll ever know.
00:28:49Because it's a lot.
00:28:50Why don't we bring Mike into it?
00:28:52So, Mike, what do you think happened between you and Caitlin?
00:28:54Obviously, there's affection.
00:28:56But what happened?
00:28:57Be nice, Mike.
00:28:58I think we did have a real connection.
00:28:59I truly do.
00:29:01I guess my thing was, what was it for you?
00:29:03I mean, and it's not, it's okay if it was just a friendship.
00:29:07But I guess what I would have appreciated if that was a little bit more forthright.
00:29:10I really am sorry.
00:29:12It was like, you remind me of my ex so much.
00:29:15I think I just started running away.
00:29:16And, like, what I've learned from this experience is to run towards that.
00:29:20So, um.
00:29:21I'm glad you said that.
00:29:21One of the things I love about this experience is that whether it works out as a love thing
00:29:26or not, that if you look closely enough, there are some real great lessons that we get to
00:29:31take to our next relationship.
00:29:33Anything you want to say to Mike?
00:29:35Mike, love you.
00:29:36You're my man.
00:29:38Nothing but love for you.
00:29:39So, thank you for everything.
00:29:40I love her too.
00:29:41Sebastian, any last words from you?
00:29:42Are we going to see each other after this?
00:29:47I'm sure we'll talk after this.
00:29:49Uh, Hall, we're going to turn our focus on you a second.
00:29:52He came to the island hoping he and Caitlyn's relationship would become stronger and possibly
00:29:56lead to marriage.
00:29:57But then he met Michaela.
00:29:58He got some pretty strong feelings and everything changed.
00:30:02Let's take a look.
00:30:03I'm very family oriented.
00:30:05So, to create my own, especially with someone that you love, like, to create life with them,
00:30:10like, that's half of me, half of you.
00:30:11He is beautiful.
00:30:13I mean, so this is talk about temptation.
00:30:17It would be hard to leave here and not have you in my life because whatever this is,
00:30:26like, I'm just never going to find it in another person.
00:30:28I needed to go have a conversation with Caitlyn myself.
00:30:32I'm no longer engaged.
00:30:34I know I did the right thing tonight.
00:30:37And, uh, with Caitlyn and I, we can now start building something special together.
00:30:43I'm in love with you.
00:30:45I love you.
00:30:54I love you, too.
00:30:55I would love to walk out of here with you if you would take the honor and be my girlfriend.
00:31:04I would love to leave the island with you.
00:31:07Come here.
00:31:08Come here.
00:31:09Oh, yes.
00:31:10Oh.
00:31:21Um, how are you feeling?
00:31:23Amazing.
00:31:24I'm afraid to ask, but what's the status of you two right now?
00:31:27We are very good.
00:31:29And how do you feel?
00:31:30I'm over the moon.
00:31:33And we've, uh, we've been hanging out, traveling together.
00:31:37And she's been in Charleston with me a lot of this time.
00:31:41I've met her family.
00:31:42She's met my family.
00:31:43I've met her friends.
00:31:45She's met my friends.
00:31:46And I've never felt this way.
00:31:49You know, we don't often hear the love word.
00:31:57But when it's said from the heart, it's a shock.
00:32:01Um, how did that feel to hear that?
00:32:06I was definitely speechless.
00:32:08But as soon as he said it, we both, I feel like, knew that we were feeling it because we
00:32:13would look at each other with a certain look.
00:32:16You called Hall your soulmate.
00:32:18Mm-hmm.
00:32:19Still true?
00:32:20Yeah.
00:32:20I know that true love exists.
00:32:22And I'm experiencing it.
00:32:24And I will never settle now.
00:32:25And I'm super happy.
00:32:27You know, I'm sitting here listening to you, but my head's going a mile a minute because I know how
00:32:33wonderful you are, Caitlin.
00:32:35Right?
00:32:36And I know what a great guy you are, Hall.
00:32:38But this wasn't great.
00:32:41But why can you be that transparent, that vulnerable with her?
00:32:45She makes it easy for me.
00:32:47She accepts me for me and my flaws.
00:32:51How did it feel taking her to meet your family?
00:32:54Easy.
00:32:55Fun.
00:32:56Free.
00:32:57Caitlin, I know this is hard to watch this, but how does it feel to hear him tell Michaela that
00:33:03he's in love with her?
00:33:04I just think it's crazy.
00:33:06I just don't know how you get out of engagement and find your soulmate at Bonfire One.
00:33:09Let me say something.
00:33:10Go ahead.
00:33:11Do you think I was expecting to come to Temptation Island and meet a girl and fall in love with
00:33:17her?
00:33:17Hell no.
00:33:18Are you kidding me?
00:33:20There's no way I was going to leave here with somebody else.
00:33:25So my question, Michaela and Hall, is what's next?
00:33:30Well, the next thing would be for you to move in with me.
00:33:34Is that an offer?
00:33:36Move in with me, Michaela?
00:33:38To trust.
00:33:53The next thing would be for you to move in with me.
00:33:56To Charleston?
00:33:58Is that an offer?
00:33:59Will you move in with me, Michaela?
00:34:01I definitely will.
00:34:04Charleston's not big enough for all three of us.
00:34:07So that's a good thing.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:10I mean, I feel like that's what we've been doing, kind of, because traveling together.
00:34:13He's coming to Oregon.
00:34:14I've been going there.
00:34:16Life's just been good.
00:34:17You love somebody this isn't a thing.
00:34:19Sorry.
00:34:20Mm-hmm.
00:34:21Let's give it up for Caitlin, Hall, Michaela, Sebastian, and Mike.
00:34:28Maricela and Christopher both came to the island in a codependent relationship.
00:34:31But as they experienced their new single lives apart from each other, both found their independence.
00:34:37Let's take a look.
00:34:38I am Maricela.
00:34:39My name is Christopher.
00:34:40We're good together.
00:34:42We just have a lot to learn.
00:34:44We communicate very differently, and we still don't know how to talk to each other sometimes,
00:34:48and we end up fighting.
00:34:49Do you guys want kids at all?
00:34:51She wants something else.
00:34:54A dog?
00:34:55Okay, never mind.
00:34:56Not yet.
00:34:59Nothing, never mind.
00:35:01Actually, no, it's okay.
00:35:03I want a sister wife.
00:35:04She wants a girlfriend.
00:35:04Yeah, I want a girlfriend.
00:35:05He used my story to communicate with other females.
00:35:09I really don't know how I feel.
00:35:11I know these past two-plus years, I've been very critical of you, and I just want to say
00:35:18I trust you, and I love you.
00:35:29She having sex.
00:35:36I'm not here to please anybody else or seek validation anymore.
00:35:40I love that you've gotten answers.
00:35:42It's the lightest I've seen you, actually.
00:35:44I know.
00:35:46Happier each day, growing closer to who I want to be each day.
00:35:50What I'm most grateful for is that I have you.
00:35:56I appreciate that.
00:35:58Maricela, I made a beautiful connection with Alexis.
00:36:03I'm choosing to leave the island with her.
00:36:06I have to love myself before I even have the ability to love anyone or anything else.
00:36:12I'm leaving the island on my own.
00:36:16Bye, Mr. Fe.
00:36:17Maricela, how are you?
00:36:22So, have you guys spoken or talked since you've been on the island?
00:36:27Yes, we spoke November a handful of times in December, sometime in January as well.
00:36:33How would you describe your relationship, if any, with Christopher now?
00:36:37We don't talk.
00:36:38How does it feel?
00:36:39Feels free.
00:36:40Something's been on my mind.
00:36:42It came up on the show and it's something that we need to talk about.
00:36:44That your sexuality is fluid and then that got revealed but was an awkward moment.
00:36:49Did you have that conversation with your family?
00:36:51As soon as we wrapped up, got my phone.
00:36:55How did it go?
00:36:56It didn't go as scary as I thought it would be.
00:36:58I love that about life.
00:36:59Yeah.
00:37:00Christopher, watching yourself, do you have any clarity from that moment?
00:37:04I understand that it's Maricela's truth but at the same time, we're in a relationship
00:37:10and this is affecting our relationship.
00:37:12Why do I have to protect her if she's not confident enough to share this side with herself?
00:37:19Why do I have to protect you?
00:37:21I'm going to answer your question.
00:37:22No, no, no.
00:37:23That's not how it works.
00:37:25Healthy relationship is the support of and respect of the individual.
00:37:29I get that.
00:37:30That's why in the moment I apologized.
00:37:33But yeah, it wasn't my truth to share at all.
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:36Christopher, when you think of Maricela, where is she in your heart?
00:37:40These days when I think about Maricela, I feel hurt because I've just tried to respect
00:37:45her boundaries and when we had closure right after the island, she stated she didn't want
00:37:49to talk to me anymore.
00:37:50So to receive phone calls from her like in December, in January, you know, to get the
00:37:55visit when you came over and we had sex.
00:37:57Oh.
00:37:58Like, you know, it just was very inconsistent with what you were telling me.
00:38:03And then also, just so everybody knows, I don't have the best relationship with my
00:38:07father for very toxic reasons.
00:38:09And you know that.
00:38:11So I told you what my father's intentions were.
00:38:14Did you not reach out to my entire family and talk mad shit about me?
00:38:17That was when we were in a relationship.
00:38:19We were not in a relationship.
00:38:20Why are you talking to my father post-relationship?
00:38:22Island, you reached out to my family, did you not?
00:38:25All I'm saying is that I was not in a relationship with you.
00:38:29You knew the relationship I had with my father.
00:38:32And what?
00:38:33And I asked you not to entertain him because I told you what his intentions were and you
00:38:37still reached out to him.
00:38:39I reached out to him, yes.
00:38:39No, he reached out to you and you entertained it.
00:38:41Why would you do that?
00:38:42That shit hurt.
00:38:43You know I have a relationship with my father and you think that it's okay for you.
00:38:48But it was okay for you to reach out to my family.
00:38:49That was when we were in a relationship, Maricela.
00:38:51When were we in a relationship?
00:38:53After the island, we were not in a relationship.
00:38:55You never came back to Atlanta.
00:38:56You went to L.A.
00:38:57You had all your stuff in the house.
00:38:58Then why are you talking to my family?
00:38:59Because I had to coordinate with your mother and how she was going to pick up your car
00:39:03from the Airbnb that we were staying in that you neglected while you were being free.
00:39:08Chris, you told me you spoke to Maricela's mom.
00:39:11Yeah, I spoke to your mom.
00:39:12Yeah, but y'all weren't dating.
00:39:13This was after the island.
00:39:14Exactly, because we...
00:39:15But you just said that you only talked to her mom when y'all were in a relationship.
00:39:19Well, I had a more...
00:39:21I had a deeper relationship with her mother and father while I was in a relationship.
00:39:24Okay, I was closer to your dad than I was to your mom or your sister.
00:39:27So I spoke to your dad.
00:39:28I didn't talk to my father for 18 months while I was with you.
00:39:31What the hell do you have to talk to my father about?
00:39:32Anything I want to talk is about.
00:39:34That's disrespectful.
00:39:35Bro, how do rules apply one way and not the other?
00:39:39It's two different dynamics, bro.
00:39:40Like, if I'm in a relationship, obviously I have some type of...
00:39:43Yeah, but you just lied.
00:39:44You spoke to her afterwards, bro.
00:39:45You just said you weren't.
00:39:46You weren't in a relationship.
00:39:48You didn't come to Atlanta.
00:39:58You're not gonna tell me.
00:40:01You left all of your shit in the house.
00:40:03Why would she go back to you when she's just got out of this toxic-ass relationship?
00:40:08And I could share less about my possessions at that point.
00:40:11Well, then you should have communicated that and I wouldn't have to talk to your mother.
00:40:14No, no.
00:40:14You should have communicated that.
00:40:15I spoke to my family after the show.
00:40:17I told them, hey, I learned this, that, and the third.
00:40:19I'm happy.
00:40:19After he spoke to my family, they came at me like I was crazy.
00:40:24And what did you hope to accomplish by speaking to her family?
00:40:28I was super close to Maricela's mom.
00:40:30Could that not also be true for Maricela talking to your dad?
00:40:33That's my father.
00:40:34And that's the last time he spoke.
00:40:36She knew it would hurt me.
00:40:37Let's pretend for a moment that both of you crossed and blurred lines
00:40:41because your relationship is not just the two of you, it's two families.
00:40:45And Maricela, you know, whether it was your intention or not,
00:40:49that talking to his dad is right at his heart.
00:40:52Is that fair to say?
00:40:53Yeah, I'm sorry that I hurt you when I spoke to your father.
00:40:56It wasn't my intentions.
00:40:57I really just, I was mad that you spoke to my family so poorly about me.
00:41:00What I'm asking you two, are you willing to actually break up?
00:41:05Or are you just going to have this version of a relationship,
00:41:07which is not much different than the relationship you brought to me when you came to the island?
00:41:11Feel me?
00:41:12Feel you.
00:41:13So, now your choice is what do we do now?
00:41:16Everything that occurred, like, after the island, like, it just taught me so much about myself.
00:41:21Things that I needed to learn.
00:41:22It took some time to separate myself.
00:41:25I'm done now.
00:41:26We're already way in it, but there were two people who were a big part of your journeys,
00:41:30and I want them to join us now.
00:41:31For Maricela, it was Christiane, and for Christopher, it was Alexis.
00:41:36And when Maricela and Christiane first started to get to know each other,
00:41:40they really didn't share a connection.
00:41:41But as Maricela started to open up and find herself a romantic connection form that really took off,
00:41:47let's take a look at their journey.
00:41:50Christiane, do you want to go?
00:41:52I'd love to.
00:41:53All right.
00:41:55Oh, wow.
00:41:57Maricela is a little firecracker.
00:41:59I can see she loves to have fun, and the way she feels shut off,
00:42:03that only made me more attracted to her.
00:42:09He looks so good.
00:42:12It's the first time we spend the night together,
00:42:15and I'm starting to feel Christiane a lot more.
00:42:26I've never been this horny in my life.
00:42:31I'm really enjoying just getting to know someone physically.
00:42:37I don't have these kind of connections and these feelings with girls often.
00:42:43I like you a lot.
00:42:44I love the vibe we have.
00:42:46I've made a very strong connection with Gries Diana.
00:42:54How was that for you, Christiane?
00:42:56We were kind of beefing at the start.
00:42:57We had a terrible date, and neither of us really wanted to be there.
00:43:01I think she was missing Christopher, and I just, I was like, how did I end up here?
00:43:04I don't know what I'm doing.
00:43:05And then it's where we started to actually make a connection and kind of help each other grow.
00:43:12He doesn't put up with shit.
00:43:14He's like, no, you're going to say things how they are.
00:43:17So it helped me discover that, like, no, I need to be honest with myself.
00:43:22I can't keep lying to myself.
00:43:23You sit back, and you're being facetious and calculated.
00:43:26It only ever comes across as like you're playing at something.
00:43:29So I just said how I feel and got her to say how she felt, and it helped us kind
00:43:35of find comfort with each other.
00:43:37So where are you now, you guys?
00:43:39I don't think I'm personally looking for love right now.
00:43:42I'm focusing on myself, but we remain friends.
00:43:47We speak every so often, and...
00:43:50You speak, or you actually see each other?
00:43:52We speak.
00:43:52We've seen each other, and we remain friends.
00:43:55He's my island buddy.
00:43:57Your island buddy.
00:43:59Yeah, we...
00:44:00Is that how you describe your relationship now?
00:44:02We had Anne have such a strong physical connection, but I was like, the last thing I would ever want
00:44:08to do to her is put her in a relationship where she feels limited when she just wants to be
00:44:13free.
00:44:14Whether you've said it or not, what I'm feeling is some open-endedness, that your relationship isn't defined particularly, but
00:44:22it is still a relationship of some sort.
00:44:24I'm a big proponent of friendships.
00:44:27That's the hard part.
00:44:30And by the way, where do you live?
00:44:32LA.
00:44:32You live here?
00:44:33Yeah, yeah.
00:44:33And you're living here?
00:44:34Yeah.
00:44:35Look at that.
00:44:37You know, Christopher...
00:44:39Hey.
00:44:39My guy initially made a connection with Abby, but then he shifted his sights onto Alexis, and that relationship started
00:44:46to grow. Let's take a look back at those two.
00:44:49So why are y'all here?
00:44:50I'm here for an emotional connection.
00:44:52Chasing men is exhausting, and it's bad for my ego, and I hate it, but whatever.
00:44:58Christopher.
00:45:00Lexus.
00:45:00Of course.
00:45:01Let's go on this date.
00:45:02I'm feeling a lot closer and connected with him, but I'm also scared because I'm feeling very vulnerable.
00:45:10I just really appreciate the vibe that we have together.
00:45:17I had an amazing date last night. Let's just say we're connecting on every type of level now, and I'm
00:45:24not mad about it.
00:45:26I think we both know how I feel deep in the heart about you.
00:45:29Yeah, I am going to support you.
00:45:31It's going to be okay.
00:45:32If you say so.
00:45:34Will you leave the island with me?
00:45:36Of course I will.
00:45:42Hi, Alexis.
00:45:43Hey.
00:45:43So what's up?
00:45:45We left the island together as, like, in an exclusive relationship, basically, and he came to visit me in Dallas,
00:45:50and I went to go visit him and his family for the holidays, and it was a lot of fun.
00:45:56Until it wasn't, um, I found out I was pregnant, and then I thought he was talking to Marisela, and
00:46:05I'm no longer pregnant, so, yeah.
00:46:07Yeah, that's what I've been up to.
00:46:09It was great until it wasn't was the first thing you said.
00:46:13I want to slow it down a little bit because I can see some emotion, which you get to have.
00:46:18It's just fresh, and I'm still dealing with it.
00:46:22I'd like to know how it went from this part where you're meeting family and stuff to that.
00:46:26We just started bickering about everything because, you know, shit starts getting serious if a kid's involved.
00:46:32And I also was pregnant, so, like, I was really emotional.
00:46:35Like, I'm pretty sure, I've never, yeah, because you're shitty, like, I'm sorry.
00:46:38But every day, I literally was just crying.
00:46:41I mean, I could be shitty.
00:46:42Like, I could be shitty.
00:46:44No, it's what you want.
00:46:44You don't have to try.
00:46:44You can be shitty, too.
00:46:45We all can be shitty, so.
00:46:47I don't know you, and we don't get beef.
00:46:48But I know what I saw, and I know what I'm hearing, obviously.
00:46:51You're a narcissist, bro.
00:46:52It's true.
00:46:55I've accepted myself.
00:46:56You would know that if you knew me.
00:46:58So, yeah, so him and Maricela had a conversation or phone calls, so I don't know if you guys want
00:47:04to go in detail of what actually happened when you guys talked.
00:47:08Yeah, so you sent a representative to the island, which I can understand.
00:47:12What?
00:47:12What does that mean?
00:47:12No, answer my question.
00:47:13I'm answering your question.
00:47:14No, no, no.
00:47:15Not about the island.
00:47:15You have to be quiet in order for me to answer it.
00:47:17So, let me answer it.
00:47:18Appreciate it.
00:47:19Why are you so rude?
00:47:20He's so rude.
00:47:21It is what it is.
00:47:22It isn't what it is.
00:47:24You're so rude.
00:47:25He's a shit show.
00:47:26I'm being real and direct, so just respect it, bro.
00:47:29Chris, just be quiet.
00:47:30Maricela, can you please share with us what happened?
00:47:32I'm driving to Atlanta.
00:47:33He's like, hey, send me some nudes.
00:47:35And you sent them.
00:47:37Can't I?
00:47:37Well, I'm just too much pregnant.
00:47:39I didn't ask him what his relationship was with Alexis at the point.
00:47:42After the fact, I'm like, hey, are you and Alexis still talking?
00:47:45Oh, my God, yes, we're still talking.
00:47:47Don't tell her.
00:47:48I can't have her find out.
00:47:51And I'm like, don't worry.
00:47:52I mean, and he's like, are you going to say something at the reunion?
00:47:55And I'm like, I don't know.
00:47:57Am I?
00:47:57So that's when he goes and tells Alexis, like, hey, I had a conversation with Maricela.
00:48:01And this is what happened.
00:48:03I mean, I didn't know if Alexis was pregnant for real.
00:48:05Like, there were a lot of...
00:48:06I'm just crying every day, sending you pictures.
00:48:08I mean, I don't know you.
00:48:09I'm still getting to know you.
00:48:09We had unprotective sex on TV multiple times.
00:48:13So, Alexis, like, were you sure that I was the father of this child?
00:48:18Are you for real, Chris?
00:48:20Okay, narcissistic behavior.
00:48:33So, Alexis, were you sure that I was the father of this child?
00:48:38Are you for real?
00:48:40Okay, narcissistic behavior.
00:48:41No, cast for the ghost on this island me, and I got pregnant, I guess.
00:48:46Okay, I mean, it's a legitimate question.
00:48:48It's okay, because, look, the universe got me, God got me, and everything.
00:48:51And I'm sure he said the same thing when I got pregnant by him.
00:48:54Exactly.
00:48:55You literally, you got three girls pregnant.
00:48:57Look at this.
00:48:58If we're talking three pregnancies, we got to talk about this, man.
00:49:02It's a pattern.
00:49:03Don't make me be a dad up in here.
00:49:05Put a condom on.
00:49:06Oh, for sure, for sure.
00:49:09I'm never having sex again, so.
00:49:11When your girl says she's pregnant, it's about stepping up and be supportive.
00:49:16Uh-huh.
00:49:17Alexis, was I not supportive?
00:49:19Do you think it was supportive for you to ask your ex-girlfriend, not only for nudes, but
00:49:24to come over?
00:49:25It was not supportive.
00:49:26That's not supportive.
00:49:26It was not.
00:49:27Especially when you knew how emotional I was.
00:49:29It was not supportive, but I made a mistake.
00:49:31It was a lot going on.
00:49:32I didn't know what to do.
00:49:34Are y'all in a relationship of any kind now?
00:49:37Uh, no.
00:49:37No.
00:49:38Okay.
00:49:39Sorry.
00:49:40Don't apologize for being human.
00:49:43It was just a hard experience.
00:49:46I feel like no matter how you lose a child, it's still something hard to go through, and
00:49:51it's, I don't know, it's confusing.
00:49:53You're absolutely right.
00:49:55And it's a confusion that all the men in your life will never be able to relate to, no matter
00:50:01how hard we try.
00:50:04Right?
00:50:05Mm-hmm.
00:50:07Okay.
00:50:08Okay.
00:50:09Okay.
00:50:11Okay.
00:50:13Maricela and Christopher, I want to thank you for being a part of this experience.
00:50:17I also want to thank you for letting me come at you, because I don't do it with people I
00:50:21don't care about.
00:50:21It's not worth my time.
00:50:23Christiane, thank you for your experience, and your part of her journey, and who you
00:50:28became.
00:50:29And Alexis, thank you for sharing something that was really intimate and didn't have to
00:50:34be shared.
00:50:39So Vanessa came to the island concerned about the age gap between her and Roberto, while
00:50:43Roberto wanted to prove that he could stand up and be the man that she wanted him to be.
00:50:47But as is often the case, the island had a different plan.
00:50:51Check this out.
00:50:53I'm here because I question his maturity, his loyalty.
00:50:58There's a 10-year age gap, and I feel like sometimes she views me as a little boy, and
00:51:04I'm here to show her that I'm a grown man.
00:51:05I love you so much, bae, and I promise you I wouldn't do nothing to disrespect you.
00:51:11I trust you.
00:51:13I have definitely lowered my standard.
00:51:16I've been in such a bad relationship for so long, and I'm really glad I got to know you.
00:51:23Me too.
00:51:29Oh, my God.
00:51:31Hey!
00:51:36The more and more I let Vanessa go, the happier I am, the lighter I'm becoming.
00:51:41You may be exactly the guy Vanessa needs.
00:51:44I'm so conflicted, like, ugh, that bonfire just made everything so hard, bruh.
00:51:51I wanted her to do a little worse, you know, in a way?
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:54I'm not ready to let Vanessa go because I still love her.
00:51:58He came through for me.
00:52:00He finally came through for me.
00:52:03She saw your d***?
00:52:04No.
00:52:05Have you seen her naked?
00:52:07No.
00:52:08Do you plan on keeping in touch with her after this?
00:52:11I don't.
00:52:13Okay.
00:52:16Vanessa, I love you.
00:52:17I want to leave this island with you.
00:52:19Every queen needs a king, and I want to leave with you.
00:52:24I love you.
00:52:24I love you.
00:52:25It's easier with you.
00:52:34So we have four couples come to the island.
00:52:36Only one couple made it to the end and decided to leave together.
00:52:40That's you two.
00:52:41Can you tell us all what the status of your relationship is today?
00:52:44After we left the island, our relationship was perfect for 72 hours.
00:52:49It's longer than a lot of people get.
00:52:51Yeah, so basically, I did Dez really dirty, and, you know, I wanted to call her and tell
00:52:57her about everything that happened at the final bonfire.
00:53:02And then she was like, what the f*** you need to talk to her for?
00:53:04Why you care about her feelings?
00:53:06I'm like, because she's a human being with feelings, and, you know, I would like to explain
00:53:09to her everything that unfolded.
00:53:11And then she completely flipped out.
00:53:12She started punching walls, punching doors.
00:53:15She threw all my stuff down the stairs.
00:53:17I just found myself being my worst self with him.
00:53:21The worst of you is better than that worst.
00:53:23I know you.
00:53:25What got you that point of anger?
00:53:26What he led me to believe when we left that island together was that it was just that
00:53:32we just kissed, like, I didn't feel that way, completely downplayed you guys' relationship.
00:53:37And I seen it for myself, and I didn't understand why you were upset in Houston.
00:53:40I'm like, I don't get it.
00:53:41What do you need to talk to her about?
00:53:43What type of explanation do you owe this woman?
00:53:45And I see it now.
00:53:47You owe her an explanation because you led her on, and you made her vulnerable and have
00:53:52these emotions towards you, only to leave with me in the end.
00:53:55And so I didn't see why that conversation needed to transpire.
00:53:59But had he been honest and upfront and been like, I need to talk to her because this is
00:54:03the type of relationship we had?
00:54:05What I'm trying to figure out is that maybe you didn't know the whole story about what
00:54:08went down between he and Desk, but what set you off was because he wanted to reach out
00:54:12to complete that.
00:54:13I did her dirty.
00:54:14I was wrong.
00:54:14But I asked him before we left that island, do you plan on speaking to her after we leave
00:54:19here?
00:54:19That was the deal breaker for me.
00:54:22If you say yes, we're not leaving together.
00:54:24He looked me in my face and said, no.
00:54:27Okay, let's leave together.
00:54:28Well, I guess if we just cut to the chase that although you have love for one another,
00:54:33I guess you came to the fact that you weren't meant for each other?
00:54:36Is that what it is?
00:54:36Yeah, I came to that conclusion.
00:54:38I want to talk a little bit about her journey if I can.
00:54:40Vanessa came to the island for her own reasons.
00:54:42She had firm boundaries in place and she formed a connection with Bryce, but she stayed true
00:54:48to those boundaries.
00:54:49Take a look.
00:54:52Bryce, would you like to go on a date with me?
00:54:54Yeah, please.
00:54:55I want to like love on you.
00:54:57I want to adore you.
00:54:58I want to feel on your bitch.
00:54:59I want to you.
00:55:00I want to just be husband and wife in this bitch.
00:55:03I just really feel very close and connected to Bryce in this moment.
00:55:07I'm still feeling conflicted.
00:55:09Yeah.
00:55:09My heart's telling me one thing.
00:55:11My mind's telling me something else.
00:55:12I'm a little nervous about our overnight date.
00:55:15I just feel like I want to maintain my composure, but he definitely makes me weak in the knees.
00:55:22No, it's not goodbye.
00:55:24Let's see you later.
00:55:25Mm-hmm.
00:55:27I like that.
00:55:32So, unfortunately, Bryce isn't with us tonight, but let's talk about your connection with Bryce.
00:55:36What attracted you to him?
00:55:38He's gorgeous.
00:55:39He's tall.
00:55:40He has a beard.
00:55:41Like, he just, you know, he's my type.
00:55:43Nice stature.
00:55:44What did he provide for you in the house?
00:55:46Oh, man, he was my support system.
00:55:48I could talk to him about everything that I've seen during bonfire clips, how I was feeling
00:55:53in the relationship, certain areas that I was neglected in.
00:55:56He took care of me.
00:55:57He would serve me food all the time, like, just very nurturing.
00:56:01And yet, all that nurturing, all that good looks, you kept your boundaries right where
00:56:06you said you would keep them.
00:56:07I did what I said I was going to do.
00:56:09Why was that so important to you?
00:56:10I really value being a woman of my word.
00:56:13And, you know, if there was an opportunity to explore that further, it needs to be when
00:56:19Rob and I agree that, you know, this relationship is no longer mutually beneficial.
00:56:24Have you stayed in touch with Bryce?
00:56:25No, I left with Rob, and I felt like that sent a message to Bryce.
00:56:31And so, just out of respect for his peace and my relationship, no further contact.
00:56:38Um, so Rob, you also met someone on the island.
00:56:41Rob came to the island hoping to prove himself to Vanessa, but then he met Desiree.
00:56:45You guys formed a relationship that ultimately went to another level.
00:56:48We're going to take a look.
00:56:50I'm a little upset that I didn't talk to you earlier.
00:56:53You know, we only get here a couple days.
00:56:55It's only different.
00:56:55No, I'm not mad.
00:56:57I'm not.
00:56:57Everything happens for a reason.
00:56:59You know, I just want to get to know you more and more every day.
00:57:17Rob deserves a partner who is open-minded, empathetic, and emotionally available, not a partner who's controlling.
00:57:27So, do you feel like if she says the right words, then that's going to spell your answer on the
00:57:37day of your last bonfire?
00:57:39I'm going to be completely honest, like, yes.
00:57:42Thinking about this date, at no point did I wish it was Vanessa.
00:57:45And all that I want, and all that I want, is for you to regret this, is for you to
00:57:59feel helpless.
00:58:02Oh, my God.
00:58:04Oh, my God.
00:58:06Shit.
00:58:08That's amazing.
00:58:14Oh, shit, it's about to go down.
00:58:16Oh, yeah.
00:58:18Okay.
00:58:22Oh, gosh.
00:58:23I'm scared.
00:58:25I believed you.
00:58:28He's in trouble now.
00:58:29You've lied to me throughout.
00:58:31I know.
00:58:43I believed you.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:46I believed you.
00:58:48You've lied to me our entire relationship when I first met you.
00:58:52It's about to go down.
00:58:54You've lied to me throughout.
00:58:57I'm sorry.
00:59:00What's going on, you guys?
00:59:03Well, um, I lied because I'm selfish.
00:59:08I wanted my cake, and I wanted to eat it, too.
00:59:09I'm sorry.
00:59:10You're just going to leave, like, with her, and you did it after they hooked up.
00:59:14Yo, you really did my bitch dirty.
00:59:16Exactly.
00:59:17That's mad rude.
00:59:19Yeah.
00:59:20So y'all had sex?
00:59:21Yeah.
00:59:23During the final overnight?
00:59:25I'm not going to be the one to lie.
00:59:27If you have questions, I'm here to answer them.
00:59:29Yeah.
00:59:30Did y'all use protection?
00:59:31No.
00:59:36You know what he told me in his little speech at the final bonfire?
00:59:39I made out with her.
00:59:40I kissed her, whatever the verbiage was.
00:59:42But that was the extent of our intimacy, because that was a deal-breaker for me.
00:59:45And that was disrespectful of him.
00:59:47He should have been honest with you.
00:59:49I don't know why he would want to do that.
00:59:51I see why he owed you a f***ing explanation.
00:59:53I f***ing get it.
00:59:55It didn't make sense.
00:59:56I'm like, how?
00:59:57What is this?
00:59:58I f***ing get it.
01:00:01I'm just so hurt by how everything played out.
01:00:05He knows what I've been through.
01:00:06I've been very vulnerable with him.
01:00:09I took care of him.
01:00:10You did.
01:00:11I'm talking as demanding as I was, was as attentive and caring and compassionate as well.
01:00:19Vanessa, I tried to make sure that your every need was met.
01:00:22It wasn't all about me.
01:00:24The only thing that highlighted my flaws was the fact that I had an adverse reaction to when my needs
01:00:30weren't met.
01:00:31Vanessa, I just want to let you know that Rob, he is an amazing person, but maybe not for you.
01:00:38And it was like eating him alive, trying to live up to you.
01:00:41I gave Rob several opportunities to exit the relationship.
01:00:45Just, hey, listen, this isn't for me.
01:00:47And he, no, it is.
01:00:48It is.
01:00:49Because I loved you.
01:00:50I loved you too.
01:00:51And I just wanted to make it work however which way we can make it work.
01:00:55I was so hard on you.
01:00:57I'm sorry I treated you that way.
01:01:00You didn't deserve that.
01:01:01You didn't deserve that either.
01:01:02You're a good dude, man.
01:01:03You're a really good dude.
01:01:04You're an amazing woman too.
01:01:05I'm sorry.
01:01:07Aww.
01:01:10I want to jump in here.
01:01:13First of all, I want to commend both of you.
01:01:15It's not at all what I expected of either of you.
01:01:18Have you considered, you two, that it's possible to love somebody deeply and be miserable at the same time?
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:27Because he was not fulfilling your needs and you were making him feel terrible.
01:01:31But that doesn't mean that you don't have deep, deep love for one another.
01:01:35Dez, you're in this too.
01:01:37And you have some feelings.
01:01:38I'd like to hear what you're feeling.
01:01:39Well, I left the island very confused because the last time we spoke, it was up in the air that
01:01:44you might leave.
01:01:45And you said it was a 10% chance.
01:01:47Not a lot.
01:01:47But in my mind, if you're not 100, then I'm out.
01:01:50And so, once we left, I was hurt.
01:01:54So, I do appreciate you reaching out, but I did state, I think you should focus on your relationship.
01:01:59You left the island with a woman, and if you feel like she was the one, then go after that.
01:02:05All my feelings for you was real.
01:02:06Everything I told you was the truth.
01:02:08But then, like, we said our final goodbyes, and I didn't miss you.
01:02:12And I wanted to, but it was just, it was big that I didn't miss you.
01:02:16And I'm just like, she's not my person because, like, I don't want for her.
01:02:21This is one of the most honest conversations I've heard tonight.
01:02:25And there's not a lot of contradiction.
01:02:29So, Des, like, I just, I hope there's no bad blood.
01:02:32Like, I want to consider you a friend.
01:02:34Yeah, no bad blood.
01:02:35I appreciate that you did reach out, so that kind of helped turn the page.
01:02:40I would say I'm sorry that things didn't work out for the two of you.
01:02:45But I would also say that things always work out for all of us.
01:02:49Yeah.
01:02:50Whether we accept it or not, it's another story.
01:02:52So, I wish you both the best.
01:02:54Des, thank you.
01:02:56Let's give it up for Vanessa.
01:02:57Vanessa, Roberto, and Desiree.
01:03:02You got a hug?
01:03:06You lied to me.
01:03:08I did.
01:03:09I'm so...
01:03:09You lied.
01:03:11I treated you so badly.
01:03:14No, you did.
01:03:15I mean, you kind of did, but...
01:03:18I think Mark wants to get moving.
01:03:20I just want a hug, too.
01:03:22I see you trying to get complete on this, you guys.
01:03:26Let's sit down and wrap this up, okay?
01:03:27Then you'll have time to do this in privacy and all that.
01:03:30That's cute.
01:03:30Listen, you guys, I want to thank you all for being here.
01:03:33I'm talking to you guys.
01:03:34You really made this season of Temptation Island a memorable one up to tonight, and you know
01:03:40I wish you nothing but the best.
01:03:42To my studio audience, thank you for being here and for participating in this experience.
01:03:48To the singles, thank you for your experience sharing what's going on, your journey.
01:03:52You are very much a part of it.
01:03:53Thanks for sharing that with us.
01:03:54And most importantly, thanks to you guys at home.
01:03:57Thank you for being here and for making this season truly amazing.
01:04:00And we will see you on the next one.
01:04:02Good night, everybody.
01:04:04Be good.
01:04:04Mahalo.
