The fifth season of ‘The island of temptations’ continues giving trouble to Telecinco as far as the audiences are concerned. Not only did the start of the latest ‘Debate of temptations’ become the worst premiere in the history of the format, with a minimum share of 5.7%; also the first gala of the new edition, despite crowning last Wednesday night, was the worst debut for reality since its inception.
The healthy competition
Unfortunately, the night of Wednesday the 28th has brought bad news again for the general channel, being affected by the counteroffensive of an Antena 3 that decided to open the first episode of ‘The Gypsy Bride’; the series that adapts the novels by Carmen Mola and that can be seen exclusively on Atresplayer Premium.
Atresmedia’s bet, which was preceded by similar maneuvers with productions such as ‘Cardo’ or ‘Veneno’, ended up beating Mediaset during its direct competition time slotrecording a 16.5% share and 1,747,000 viewers compared to a 15.5% share and 1,649,000 viewers for ‘La isla de las tentaciones’.
To add insult to injury,The audience data for the second gala of ‘The island of temptations 5’ fell almost four points compared to its predecessor —specifically, 3.7—, losing 250,000 viewers and remaining at a 16.8% share and 1,364,000 viewers compared to 20.5% and 1,613,000 viewers on Wednesday 21.
