... this fall.<P>I personally find the whole "reality" show stuff to be revolting, but I find this particular show the most despicable and revolting of all of them.<P>I think we truly need to mount a boycott campaign against Fox, against the sponsors of this disgusting travesty they are attempting to call entertainment.<P>Don't know how effective it would be, but maybe we can make a dent?

.....I agree and there is another show about 8 single men & 8 single women on a yacht. Show anger and frustration and they weren't even married~!!!!! <P>More hollywood being stupid at other people's expenses. But you know what? People out there enjoy watching others suffer. Wonder if that part of the Neilsen ratings are made up of OPs? <P>Funny thing? H saw the advertising for the boat show and thought it was disgusting. Hm...... <P>L.

Oh yes...<P>I still haven't taken the "block" off FOX from my dish...<BR>...it's a good thing too!<P>It's bad enough to broadcast immorality on closed(pay/per) airwaves...<BR>Why must we be abused over public airways!...<P>When I find the list of "sponsors"...<BR>(as I found last year at <A HREF="http://www.parentstv.org/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.parentstv.org/</A> )...<BR>...I will have to <B>permanently</B> boycott them this time!<P>...oh yes... I'm gearing up for more letter writing!<P> <P>Jim

I must admit that I love Survivor, but Temptaion Island needs to go. Why can't they encourage more couples shows and if they win they can go on a cruise together.

Obviously enough people watch this stuff to make it worth Fox's while to run it. Because broadcast TV is not about delivering entertainment, it's about delivering eyeballs to advertisers. <P>We are a strange society. We talk a lot about family values and the traditional family and a breakdown in morality, and yet if you run a show like this (or another Fox immortal, WHO WANTS TO MARRY A MULTIMILLIONAIRE), the ratings skyrocket.<P>The irony is that Fox, which is part of the same company that operates "All Gary Condit All The Time TV", otherwise known as Fox News Channel, and the New York Post (that bastion of dignified news), is owned by News Corporation, the company headed up by conservative tycoon Rupert Murdoch.<P>Does anyone else think there's a bit of a disconnect between devoting 24 hours of coverage to supposed moral outrage about a Congressman's infidelity (let's not even talk about the LACK of coverage given to the conservative mayor of Waterbury, CT, up on charges of soliciting 9- and 10-year-olds for sex); and putting infidelity up on their broadcast channel for entertainment?

TV programming sucks for the most part. I've not seen the "Temptation..." series and will most probably not tune in this fall. I'd much rather play on my 'puter than watch TV.....any day!

I also hated that show. It really disgusted me. I also found it very sad that people would go on a show like that and put their relationships thru it.<P>What kind of message, does it send our youth?
