Today we're talking about Tempition Island, season one, episode four, Rock My World. I'm Lisa and I'm sipping on Sangria today.

SPEAKER_01 0:42

I'm Mr. Lisa and I am sipping on a beer.

SPEAKER_04 0:45

Cheers.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

Salute.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

Do you have hot takes?

SPEAKER_01 0:57

Well, uh, I guess the the biggest hot take is uh Miss Anita I need an alpha male is gonna get her some some some sort of version of that, but she's gonna end up probably regretting it.

SPEAKER_04 1:16

My hot takes are pictorials and bikinis. They're literally trading one single for another. Not only does Evan get a surprise from his past, but he is in it.

SPEAKER_01 1:35

He's in it. That's to say the least.

SPEAKER_04 1:39

Katie makes a bold claim. Brittany's got scary eyes, body shots of peanut butter.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Hey, I guess some of those guys credit. They did what a lot of people probably couldn't.

SPEAKER_04 1:55

So yeah, I mean there was there wasn't a lot in this episode, but what there was, there was a lot. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 2:04

I mean the the there were big things that happened, but like in general, there was nothing. I mean, uh there was one thing of work, but like I think everything has been generally just a progression of what you can expect if you if you know people and put them in these these kind of situations.

SPEAKER_04 2:29

The episode starts off at the women's bonfire, and they show a clip of John who was I forgot who he was talking to, but he says basically that Katie doesn't think that he's been a good fit for her, and that if that's the way she feels, basically, she should just move on. And she was so upset by that clip, but it's like my lady, you have literally been shitting all over him this whole time, saying, Oh, he's he's not gonna be a good dad, and I need an alpha male. And then in this episode, you say something that is honestly kind of insane.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

I mean, she is, I think she is almost like she's almost like blinded by like everything that she's saying and or doing and trying to play, I wouldn't say like I wouldn't say the victim looking for sympathy for things he's saying and or doing, right? But like, I think if even some of the girls saw like her comments and what she was doing, I think some of the even even the girls would be like damn, like if you didn't like him that much, why'd you even come here? Because it seems like you don't you don't even love him. I think you love the thought of him like being, I guess, maybe reliable, but he's not what you are looking for.

SPEAKER_04 4:11

You know, I don't fault her for feeling the way she feels. There's no shame in that. You know, everyone is entitled to their feelings, but she can help the way she feels, but she can help the way she acts. And the thing that's really, really easy for us to sit back and watch is to say, like, well, look at her, like now she got her feelings hurt, but what about all the shit that you've been saying? I mean, she's still entitled to have her feelings hurt, but I think it is important to acknowledge also, like, we're only here because she wanted to be here.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

Correct.

SPEAKER_04 4:47

She was the one who pushed for this.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

And then on top of it, right?

SPEAKER_04 4:53

Because you were shitting all over him, saying, like, this is not the guy for you, but but now that you're here and he is exploring what's in front of him, it's like you you expected him to just kind of let you do what you wanted, but you it's like you didn't see past yourself. You didn't, I don't know, like it's just it's it was very selfish. It's it's like a very selfish position for her to take.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

I think that's the main I think that that's the main thing you take out of seeing how she's moving. It's that it it is very it is very selfish almost from the beginning, because even when she was in front of him, she was saying these things, and it's it's been an obvious thing that she she says this on a regular basis, and probably like in front of his friends, in front of her family, or I don't doubt it. Like in the first episode, she's saying it to everyone, and then to to like look at him in the way that like if he did something wrong because he's it's like you're hurting his feelings, he's taking it in strides for the most part, and he's just saying, I'm just I'm gonna be here for the experience, and I'm not going to worry about whatever it is she's doing because it's obviously hurting him. But yeah, he's just trying to lean into the situation because what else can he do?

SPEAKER_04 6:34

Yeah, and and as far as all the couple haves go, I think that for the men, he's I mean, I I I think that all the men are being they're tipping the scale of like towards respectful rather than disrespectful. But I think that he is also he's probably the the closest to respectful out of all the men, if that makes sense. Like if you could follow my crazy.

SPEAKER_01 7:07

And I think that you're saying he seems the most out of all the things that he's towards her, yes.

SPEAKER_04 7:15

And not that any of the other types of things. Any of the men, yeah. But I'm saying if let's say let's say there was a scale one to a hundred with zero being disrespectful, one hundred being respectful, um what I'm saying is that while all the men are past 50, right? They're they're all tipping that scale towards respectful. I think that John would be the furthest towards a hundred. Because everybody now he seems to be very considerate of her feelings, and I think that more than anything else, he seems like he's just trying to kind of figure out what the fuck he's doing there. He he he seems the least likely, he seems like he wants to be there the least out of all of them, and then when you flip it on the other side, I feel like Katie is the one who's closest to zero. I mean, I feel like all the women have been pretty close to respectful, you know. I mean, you've got Shari who's dealing with her whole shit, and you know, out of Casey and Nicole and Shari, they're all kind of like still trying to figure out how to navigate this with exploring the experience versus being respectful versus like trying to figure out their own internal shit. But Katie is like she's running out of like a 25. Yeah, honestly, that's like a lot. So that's what I meant. Shari was very calm watching the clip of the lipstick, and she's like, Well, he likes attention. Nicole was happy for Carl and seemed to have empathy, which is I hope that that was genuine, but other than that, like I don't even know what to do with it. And Casey was upset because you know she sees him and she knows him well enough to be like, oh yeah, okay, like back at the house. Nicole gets put on the spot by Matt because he's like, Oh, you have you haven't even um had looked to have a date with me, and you and I watched this part together. We both kind of were like ew, but also I I feel like I understood what he was trying to get at, but it was just it was very uncalled for in the moment.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

It was uncalled for cringy, but I think uh she took it like a little too heavy, like it could have been more of like I got that's kind of weird, and then you know, here comes Captain Saberho, who you know has to you know, like I granted.

SPEAKER_04 9:58

I think that was kind of you know I hope he was genuine.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

I hope he was genuine, but it honestly with all these guys, it just feels like what you would expect, even with the girls.

SPEAKER_04 10:10

I mean, they couldn't be able to do that.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

They're only saying or doing things what's put in front of them just to make themselves look better. So you don't generally know if they're if that's a genuine feeling or expression, or it's just part of you know their gimmick to get what they want, which is to be on TV and be picked, you know, because at the end of the day, this is a this is a a talent show, and it's just like pick me, pick me, pick me, pick me, and like you win only if you get picked, and then you walk around with your boobs out of your your man boobs out, and like it's funny because boobs out.

SPEAKER_04 10:48

I'm sitting here, you're in my seat today, and I'm looking at your face behind you, yeah, and my boobs. And it's weird looking at your face next to your face because all you really see is like your face and my boob.

SPEAKER_01 11:06

But like it, you know, in general, like it's I don't know if it was genuine or not. It it just you know, it just definitely was like it was like it wasn't called for, but I don't think he meant it the way it came out.

SPEAKER_04 11:20

I think he would he meant to be like I I want to always see the good in people, but if I was there, there's there's a part of me that would have been like, did Tyler set that up so he can come in here and look like because I'm also a cynic. So you know, I'm a New Yorker. What can I say? Like we have a healthy trust and distrust of people.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Hopefully it was, but I it was cringy and it definitely It was cringy.

SPEAKER_04 11:49

I don't think he meant it to be cringy. I think all in all, he just I think he just didn't have game to show interest.

SPEAKER_01 11:56

Yeah, he just didn't know how to he didn't know how to do it. Like he wasn't smooth about it.

SPEAKER_04 12:00

He wasn't like something like that and not um to ask a question like, hey, so Or he could have just said, Hey, I I would love to get to know you and I would be honored if one of these days you picked me on a date. Or, you know, just
