The couples reunite at their final bonfire to make the most important decision of their lives. Read the latest Temptation Island episode recaps.
As the final 24-hour dates come to a close, Temptees return to the Beach Villa to swap stories and reflect on the good times, Mark swoops in and lets them know that it’s time to say goodbye. The final bonfire is coming — the couples that came to the island together are about to reunite.
“Going into this bonfire, my mind is pretty made up,” Nicole says. “I just feel deep inside that I’m not supposed to be with Karl.” She reunites with Karl at the bonfire and listens to him speak first. Karl tells her that the videos he saw “hurt [him] a lot,” and he admits that he violated the ground rules that had discussed. He says he wants to work it out between the two of them. In response, Nicole says that she was confused why they came to Temptation Island, and in her eagerness to prove her loyalty she realized she had erected a wall that prevented them from connecting on a deep level.
John and Kady head into their final bonfire together on uncertain terms; John admits that he got to know Katheryn on “an emotional and physical level,” and Kady is torn between her strong bond with Johnny and her deeper love for John.
John is the first to share at the bonfire. “Honestly this has been the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through,” he says. “One thing I’ve realized is I want a woman who’s going to build me up, not tear me down.” He tells Kady how much it hurt to her say he wouldn’t be a good father, then watch her get in bed with another guy. “That destroyed me,” he says. “That was embarrassing me to see that. Then the next day, I was the only guy that didn’t get a video message. And that just destroyed me even more.” In response, Kady confirms that, no matter how highly she thinks of John, she can’t see herself having children with him.
