Joining the cast of Temptation Island season 4 is Mike Melnick, a 29-year-old software salesman and DJ from Marina Del Rey, California. Mike's last relationship ended a year and a half before he started filming the show. This risky reality show features four couples who are struggling with their relationships. Some are floundering because of distance, and others have been together so long that they're having a hard time finding excitement in their relationships. The Temptation Island season 4 couples will get to live on an island with 24 sexy singles - 12 men and 12 women - to mix things up a bit. The upcoming season takes place in Maui, and if the trailer is anything to go off of, it's bound to be a wild ride.
Although this is the fourth season of Temptation Island on the USA Network, it's actually the seventh season in total. FOX aired three seasons of the show back in 2001 but canceled it after low ratings. The show was revived by USA Network in 2019 and has is much more successful this time around. Mike is one of the seven singles on Temptation Island season 4 that hail from California. Keep reading to learn more about Mike as well as understand his intentions for appearing on the new raunchy reality show.
In addition to working in the software field and being a DJ, Mike's Instagram shows that he also loves to skateboard. The reality star also recently launched a videography company for filming concerts and other events. However, it seems the Marina Del Rey native doesn't post very often, despite his 11,800 followers on the social media platform. When he does post, Mike includes short, to-the-point captions. Additionally, a majority of Mike's few posts are about skating, and some even featured a recent skating accident he endured. He also has a recent photo showing him hanging out with his fellow California resident and Temptation Island co-star, Olivia Chapman. His latest posts advertise the show, including a perplexing video in which he proclaims he wants to "be on a leash."
In a recent USA Network YouTube trailer for Temptation Island season 4, Mike shared what his "ideal outcome" would be after his appearance on the show. He confesses that he plans to fall in love with someone who's in a relationship and get intimate with her. The California skater says that she hopes she will then dump her boyfriend, and the two of them will "dip out" in a helicopter to go back to "L.A. to grab my stuff." Then, he concludes, he plans to jet off to Paris with his new love interest. He recently shared the clip to his Instagram Story with the caption "I'm a simple dude." The trailer then shows Mike, a Temptation Island single like Ray Rock, explaining to the cameras that if he were coming into the show as part of a couple, it would be an indication that the relationship "was s**t."
Other careers that the singles of Temptation Island have followed include modeling, fitness instructors, bartenders, yoga instructors, and a therapist. Despite the show's dramatic premise, most Temptation Island couples have gone home together after their season. However, nobody knows what's going to happen this year. The new season will also feature Deac Conti, a single from Temptation Island season 2, who has experienced the trials and tribulations of the show before. Deac's presence is sure to make season 4 even more dramatic than it already looks. Based on Mike's comments about helicopters and leashes, it looks like he will definitely be an interesting cast member for fans to follow once Temptation Island season 4 airs on USA Network on March 16.
