"Temptation Island" is a reality dating show in the vein of "Love Island" and "Too Hot To Handle" – send a group of young singles (or couples) to an island destination and set them a challenge. In "Temptation Island" the challenge is just that, temptation.
Couples are sent to a tropical island where they will live in separate villas, joined by tempting singles, to test their relationship. The exciting part? Each week, the contestants are shown footage of what their partner has been up to during often dramatic bonfires.
The format started in the U.S. but has spread all over the world, and it was a bonfire scene in the Spanish series ("La isla de las tentaciones") that recently took the internet by storm. Contestant Montoya was shown live footage of his girlfriend Ana getting intimate with another man, and had a fairly dramatic meltdown in response, culminating in him running along the beach as the host cries "¡Montoya, por favor!". You don't even have to speak Spanish to know it's iconic.
If you got hooked by that wild clip, you might want to watch the whole show to see how we got to that moment, and what the fall out has been. But can you watch "Temptation Island" Spain around the world? And is it free? We've got all the answers below.
