“Temptation Island Polska” was one of three large reality shows that were Polsat’s autumn novelties. Four couples took part in the program and went to the titular “island of temptation” to test their relationship. They are separated on site. Women go to one luxurious villa and men to another. Singles join women and singles join men. Every few days, each participant in a relationship watches his or her partner’s recordings. He can check whether they are faithful to them or whether they have succumbed to temptation. At the end of the program, each person must decide whether they remain in their current relationship, start a new one, or leave the program without a partner.
Michał Figurski was chosen as the host of the show, and Endemol Shine Polska was responsible for the executive production. The photos were taken in July this year. in Crete.
– “Temptation Island” is the most difficult format. Television stations in Poland have never decided to do so. The program traveled halfway around the world, achieved great successes, and is being continued. We’re trying it for the first time. When the format was created, it was recorded in the same way as “Big Brother” in its first edition. Now there is streaming, technologies have changed, it is no longer an easy production – he told us in August this year. Edward Miszczak, Polsat’s vice president for programming, emphasizing that “Temptation Island” had been following him for many years.
The audience for “Temptation Island Polska” is decreasing from episode to episode
Apart from the implementation difficulties, it turned out that it was also difficult to attract Polsat viewers to watch the program. Nielsen data shows that the first three episodes of “Temptation Island Polska”, shown on Wednesdays at 21/10, watched 230 thousand viewers, which translated into 2.11 percent. share in the 4+ group, 3.26 percent in the 16-49 group and only 2.89 percent in the group 16-59. This result is definitely below the station’s average, which in September this year in the group 16-49 it was 7.42 percent, and in the group 16-59 – 7.31 percent.

Due to poor viewership, from the fourth episode the program was moved to 23.10, but e.g. last Wednesday it started only around 23.28, because the film broadcast at 20.00 was longer. Later in the day, the audience dropped even more – the sixth episode gathered only 79,000 views. viewers. The average after six episodes is 160,000. viewers, which gave the station an average of 2.20 percent. share in the 4+ group, 3.28 percent in 16-49 and 2.86 percent in 16-59. The data shows that each subsequent episode was watched less than the previous one.
The poor results may have been influenced by the fact that “Temptation Island Polska” is an old format – the first edition was shown in the USA 22 years ago (it was broadcast by Polsat after its premiere in the USA). Against the background of a dating format of a similar nature produced by Netflix – “Love Never Lies. Polska” Polsat program looked outdated.
“Temptation Island” debuted on “Love Island”
Moreover, Polsat initially broadcast the program in the same band in which its sister station TV4 broadcasts another dating reality show – “Love Island. Love Island”, which is more popular (in spring this year, the program was moved from Polsat to Czwórka).
If the program were successful, Polsat was considering recording the next edition in October this year, when the weather is still warm in southern Europe, and showing the second season recorded then in the spring of 2024. However, the opposite happened – the program turned out to be a flop, with results far below the station’s expectations. This is why The broadcaster is not currently planning to produce a second edition.
The station even canceled “Reunion”, which ended the season. In a special episode, the program participants were to meet after filming to talk about what happened in the reality show and what their lives look like now.
Polsat also decided to change the time of another Wednesday reality show, “Real Housewives. “Wives of Warsaw” from October 21 to October 22, it performed slightly better than “Temptation Island.” This show will end with “Reunion” – two special episodes featuring the format’s heroines were filmed last week. The host of “Reunion” was Krzysztof Ibisz.
Next year, Polsat plans to launch a new program “My Mom, Your Dad”. It may initially appear in the spring schedule, but the final decision on this matter has not been made yet. Castings are currently underway.
