The girls all come in holding hands, how sweet. But it's night. Didn't the old bonfire drummer guy start pounding away during dinner? When it was light out? Damn, these girls walk slow.
The girls are getting their chance to see footage of the boyfriends when they "may or may not of known the camera was taping". Shannon starts and gets "No headphones, right?" from Nikkole so they have obviously given her an ultimatum for her "no one looks but me, but I'm looking at yours" policy. Shannon is obviously hoping for a nice shot of John in bed looking at a picture of her. Well, he's in bed, but he's holding something a little more substantial. It's the bedtime cuddle session with Nayla. Nikkole peaks over Shannon's shoulder looking pleased. Shannon says that she doesn't mind what she's seen, as they were not in an intimate place. Well, I don't know about you Shannon, but most of us get pretty "intimate" in bed!
Next Catherine says "Gather round" for her video, making it a group thing, much like her love life. This time she sees Eddie cuddling up to Linda and paraphrasing George Michael, I want Your Sex with "You're not a sister, You're not a mother…" He is a lover, too! Catherine feels pissed that she's dating an idiot. Two, actually, if you count big, dumb and sexy Brian.

Cheeseball Marky Mark hands the TV to Kelly next, saying "I hope it gives you answers". Uh, don't you mean "I hope it gives us ratings."? Kelly gets an eyeful of Mark and Debbie exchanging accusations about whose heart is beating louder. I'm starting to feel a bit nauseous.
Nikkole gets it next and Shannon snuggles in and says "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger". Cough, gag, I'm definetly getting sick now. The scene begins with Tommy in bed with someone, I've lost track of who, and he takes off his pants. Shannon looks shocked, but Nikkole looks relieved, probably feeling better about her pump and grind session with Tommy NY.
The discussion on the way out of bonfire is all about Shannon's insecurity. First she tells Nikkole that she heard a "crinkle of plastic" meaning a condom wrapper crackles as Tommy grabbed it from the night stand. A replay shows that, nope, that didn't happen. Of course all the means is that the scene ended with no condom on Tommy, hmmm… Temptation Island 3: The Offsping. Then Shannon talks about her kind boyfriend "comforting" the "crying" and "sad" Nayla. Kelly and Nikkole exchange looks of "Yeah, right!".

John plays therapist to the other guys as he was the only one who didn't see his girlfriend grinding up against another guy. He kindly tells Tommy "I don't think our women made the first move." Haaaaaaaaa, it looks like he's inherited Shannon's blind faith.
Tommy goes back to his room to sulk with Edmundo and rips off his clothes! Well, ok, he just rips off his necklace and throws it on the floor. However, in his next scene he's put on another necklace. Damn, that Tommy can accessorize!
Ladies Lagoon
Marky Mark interrupts a drinks party with the advice that no more footage will be shown to the boyfriends and they should now get it on. Hey, I'm starting to think he actually doesn't get to watch those tapes or he'd know that his advice is completely unnecessary!
Brian gets some kind of a concience while making out with Catherine in the water and gives her a lecture. His very words, and I quote, are: "I am not about comin' here and sleepin' with someone else's girlfriend, it's more about making her realize she should be with me." He forgot to add "naked and French kissing me" which seems to be a prerequisite for both him and Catherine whenever they are near each other.
Boyfriend Bay
Everyone starts drinking and in no time at all, the dancing and frolicking begin. The women are soon taking off their clothes. Yes, of course lap-dancing, Edmundo-satisfying, Tommy-lusting Amanda is one of them. The "Sarong Bandits" flash Edmundo and lie in a heap on his bed while he is in the bathroom. What is it about Edmundo in a bathroom that seems to drive women wild??? Mark makes out with Debbie while a voice over says he's thinking about Kelly. Uh, ok, whatever gets you going Mark.
Ladies Lagoon
Looks like there is partying on both sides of the beach. We get a nice shot of Tommy NY jumping into the pool naked, holding a glow stick where it counts. At least I assumed it was a glow stick…maybe the boy's got hidden talents…or glow-in-the-dark condoms!
The sweetest scene then unfolds: Ali, the underdog nice guys starts to get some! Kelly makes out with him in the pool, straddles him on the beach, then they get it on in the hammock, making boyfriend Mark's hammock encounter look like a nice polite chat in comparison! Go for it Ali!
The Morning After - Boyfriend Bay
The single women start packing and sobbing. BORING! White eyeshadow girl makes a fool out of her self, saying that it has been an experience "about life and love". YAWN. Then Nayla brings out the quote of the episode "Everyone here has touched somebody." Yeah, and then some!
Dream Date Selection - The Boyfriends
Mary Mark blabs on about the significance of the final date. Snooooooorrrree. Then suddenly he slips in a comment about them sending the stripper home a few days ago. Huh? They've stretched this show out to 12 episodes and we don't get to see that? Maybe she ripped off all her clothes to show the guys what they'd be missing. Hmmm, well, better that they skipped that, then.
Edmundo's choice: Eddie talks about the physical and emotional bond he's made with many, many women on the island. Oh wait, no, he's just talking about one right now. And it's…. Linda, the tent-riser, who must have made an impression on the beach a few nights ago.
Amanda and Caneel look depressed that Edmundo didn't pick them. ("How often do we have to flash this guy to get some play?")
Mark's choice: Mark says that "At the moment we crossed eyes, we had a connection." Uh, ok, crossing eyes at someone is now the hip, new way to drag them away from their girlfriend! And it's…. Debbie, the skinny-dipper with the loud beating heart.
Tommy's choice: Says he's changed his mind, and is going for the "oddball, the one who wasn't wanted" Translation: The one who would be the most "grateful". Tommy says he's been on the bottom and he's all about balance. Prepare yourself, cause Tommy wants to be on top…Katie, who for some reason feels it's appropriate at this point to SHAKE HANDS with Tommy.
John's Choice: Says that his pick "taught me so much about what was going on in her mind." Hmmm, uh, nice I guess. But wait, he goes on: "When I went down…(ooops, sorry) When I WAS down, she was there." And it's….Nayla, no big surprise there.
Dream Date Selection - Ladies Lagoon
The guys line up for the final date selection. Rossi looks desperate, he's actually wearing a suit! And good god, New Age Tom is wearing bright yellow overalls.
And that's all we get. Arrrrrgh, leave us hanging again, we're going to have to tune in next week, you bastards!
Next Week on Temptation Island 2: Voice-over tells us that "tensions mount" and there are "heart rendering choices" for the girlfriend's final date selection.
There are a variety of scenes with the guys on their dates, a whole bunch of Mark kissing Debbie, Edmundo kissing Linda, and one of Nayla and John hugging. A blurry shot may tell us that Shannon chooses the surfer Kevin for her date.
Two episodes left! Who will hear the "crinkle of plastic" next? Who will be the next to give in, on TEMPTATION ISLAND 2!
