Unlike most dating shows, on Temptation Island, cheating is kind of the name of the game. The series makes couples pass through a gauntlet of hot singles to find out if the person they came to the island with is really their perfect mate. But some of the couples are more committed to their partners than others. Of the four couples on season three, the men and their potential to cheat run the gamut from celibate monk to Hugh Hefner.
On Temptation Island, couples are put to the ultimate test to find out if the relationship they came in with is the one they want to leave with. The couples are sent out on dates on the regular with the island’s singles to see if they can find a better connection, and it’s only a matter of time before the couples begin to slip up. These are the men ranked from most to least likely to cheat.
Kendal Kirkland
Kendal is definitely the most likely of the coupled-up men to cheat because he already has. The smooth talker has gone to bed with more than one woman on more than one occasion, and at this point, his girlfriend Erica calls watching him cheat her “new norm.” Kendal has also hinted on social media at “mistakes” he made this season, so the worst may be yet to come.
Thomas Gipson
Thomas and his girlfriend Chelsea decided to come on Temptation Island because Chelsea was upset by her boyfriend’s flirty ways. There’s no doubt the man is a flirt, but so far it has been pretty harmless. However, he’s gone on several dates with Sophia Perez, one of the island’s single women. Recently, Chelsea watched as her boyfriend got intimate while “exfoliating” Sophia and, quite clearly, felt her up. So far, Kendal is the king player, but Thomas may not be far behind.
Corey Sobczyk
Corey came on the show with his girlfriend Erin Smith because she wasn’t sure he was her best match. However, now that they’re on the island, Erin is having second thoughts and is worried she could lose Corey by the end of the show. Corey has expressed a desire to stay with Erin, but he also seems to be coming into his own on the show and is discovering his self-worth. That doesn’t mean he’ll cheat on Erin, but it does make it slightly more likely.
Julian Allen
The most solid couple this season is Julian and his girlfriend, Kristen Ramos, and it’s all because of him. Julian and Kristen have been together a whopping 11 years, but they’re still not engaged. In the past, Julian cheated, but he seems to have turned things around and is extremely devoted to Kristen. If anyone’s not going to cheat, it’ll be Julian. He has so far rebuffed any advances by the single women and spends most of his time pining for Kristen. Therefore, a tryst involving Julian seems highly unlikely.
So far this season, Kendal has been the only one to cheat on his partner, but are the other men far behind? On Temptation Island, the couples are bombarded with opportunities to cheat—it’s the entire point of the show. But not all couples succumb to that temptation. There are some real contenders this season of couples who could leave the show stronger. But only time will tell if these men (minus Kendal) can stay true to the women they love.
