Fans are wondering if the show is scripted?

Since the show made its debut almost a decade ago its audience has been wondering if the show is scripted and from what current and former contestants have said, the answer is no.

According to Distractify – who spoke exclusively to season 4 contestant Madelyn Rusinyah – the show is 100% authentic, she explained to the interviewer:

For me, [Temptation Island] was 100 per cent real. Every time I had emotion, and it shows on-screen, I was genuinely feeling that emotion.

Madelyn, aka Juicy, was adamant that contestants’ emotions were all real and though it may seem bizarre to the outside world, the breakups and makeups are all real.

Former contestants say the show isn’t scripted

It isn’t just Juicy who has defended Temptation Island’s authenticity. During an interview with Chicago Tribune, ex-contestants Karl Collins and Nicole Tuteworkl spoke about how real the show is and explained that everything people say on the show is what they are really thinking and feeling. 

Friends, they ask, ‘Is it scripted?’ I just tell them no, it’s not. It’s as real as it gets. I think it’s important for viewers to know that. No one told us to do this or told us to say that.

Unfortunately, it seems that the people who do cheat and leave their significant others on the show genuinely do that. The producers themselves have agreed and said its real, so its looks like to many fans’ surprise – Temptation Island is as authentic as it can get.
