‘The island of temptations 5’ it has been an absolute bore. A getaway here, a kiss there, but nothing special. Until today. Finally, after many hours of television, the reality show has been as entertaining as one expected it to be thanks to Ana, the absolutely disappointed girl who just saw her boyfriend sleeping with another woman, her soft excuses and her ironic responses. A queen is born. But, let us start at the beginning.
braking in time
Ana and Cristian entered the island when all the plots had already started, and few suspected that they would become the protagonists. Little by little, he became intimate with one of the temptresses, María de los Ángeles, to the point of having sex (or very intimate kisses) with her. for him this It is a show of affection towards your partner because “he has stopped on time”. For her, the anger of the century, with scared Murcia included.
Sandra Barneda, the presenter, decided, for the first time in the program’s history, set up an Emergency Bonfire. It’s been hyped all the time, and we all wondered what that was, but in the end it was still a Showdown Bonfire where she could choose between going and not going, in which case their contest would end immediately. Cristian began by excusing himself and saying “I know that I have done it wrong but the blood has not reached the river”. Spoiler: yes it came, yes.
In a frankly surreal moment, the contestant began to repeat that in the end he went to the program to test himself and that, what the hell, he would like to see his partner reach the limit with another guy to see if he knows how to stop in time. Next, it was time to blame his partner: “I can understand Ana’s abandonment but I don’t understand it”; “I know her and it was very probable that she left” … What he did not expect is that Ana, finally, appeared on the scene to sing the forty. And here the real move began. Be careful, there is little twist that not even in one of Shyamalan.
I love you too much
Before Sandra could welcome Ana, she has gone with all the weapons, accusing Cristian of gaslighting her: from what she says, he accused her of being crazy with jealousy, and, apparently, oh surprise, she wasn’t crazy at all. He, cornered, between “It’s embarrassing”, “You haven’t valued me at all” and “Are you laughing at me in my face?” He has defended himself by saying that he loves her, that he has known how to stop (and that he is the one hurt because she is not able to see him) and that he loves her too much. Ah yes, hooking up with other girls, love.
They both ended up watching them together, between a wonderful audio commentary from Ana and a Cristian who little by little was running out of words until ending in a “I’m ashamed to see myself”. From “I’ve been able to stop myself” to “I’m embarrassed to see myself” in just five minutes. Record. From there, the confirmation that Cristian, off the island, is not exactly a boyfriend of ten.
“He needs a woman from his house, a working woman… He wants a girl who makes him fried eggs and chips every day, who does his laundry…”, to which he replies, the shyest of the shy, “I do it too”. Afterwards, he repeats that he would not break their relationship for two kisses when -once again, all in chorus- “I have known how to stop”.
the butterfly yoyo
Sandra finally asks that they speak from the heart, looking into each other’s eyes, before making the final decision. Cristian repeats that he loves her madlybut she replies something that should set off everyone’s alarm: “I have cried a lot in this relationship, I have always put him before meafraid that he will do something like this to me… and he has.” Please run as far away as possible, Ana.
And when she reminds him of everything he’s messed up (“The dog, man, the dog, the house, everything”), a butterfly lands in the middle of the bonfire and she recognizes it as her dead grandfather, which has become a lepidoptera and has gone to give him strength. Suddenly, ‘The Island of Temptations’ has become a Miyazaki film.
“I’ve been disappointed, but I’m in love, that doesn’t go away overnight either”, she says, anticipating a pardon that many of us cross our fingers because it doesn’t come to give something, even a little bit, as an example. Faced with the final question that she will decide her future on the island, he replies that he wants to stay for show him, in the two days that remain, that he knows how to behave. Her answer is on a cliffhanger… although if you pay attention to the images of the following week, there is the answer. Anyway.
