Jane, you got that right! Am I ever ready. I leave 5/5. I made reservations last May to go in November. Boy oh boy, I have been waiting a long time. I have been so good. . .

FOX paid for a cropduster to spray for mosquitos just before they started shooting. The crew had been cussing for days, but when the plane came by, no bugs for the whole 2 weeks of shooting.

Just after the shoot, of course, Keith hit. Then it rained a frog strangler for weeks. Everybody who knew anybody was begging for that spray plane to come by cuz we were worried about disease. Finally came by and we got some relief.

Mata Chica, like most everyone else lost some nice palms. They have re-planted some medium and small ones...Also royal palms, which other folks have done and will be a nice addition to North Beach.

From all comments, the photography was good. They had fabulous weather the whole time they were shooting.

I agree with everyone that the scenes of the island are beautiful as always (makes me more homesick)...but did I miss it or did they NEVER mention the name of the island? They just kept refering to it as Temptation Island. I also laughed when they said "an island with 4 (four) resorts". Wonder what happened to all the rest of them...since this was before Keith? How are people supposed to know where it is? I heard them say an island about 12 miles off the coast of Belize but that was all. Maybe it will get more tourist coverage in upcoming episodes.

I also enjoyed the Island footage - didn't really care about the Temtation stuff. Like Imarquis I am making my first trip this May. I have thought about Belize for over 5 years - just never booked a trip. I can't wait!!

They did a spectacular job showing the sun rise. I always wake up before 6:00 AM and am on the beach or a dock for those magic moments when the sun paints the sky pink and gold. I think sun rise on A/C is better than any sunset I have ever seen. Maybe it is special because, unlike sunsets that seem to last forever, it only lasts a few minutes.

Just like you all, I thought the show was great!!! With the landscape.... you all should of heard the radio stations here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area,, It was Great!!!! I can't wait to see all the fecis fly on the next installment.... but as far as promoting the island Fox did great on that part so far!!!! Can't wait to be there again during Easter.. My wife and here family and My dad and his wife are coming down for the 1st time to Belize it should be Great!!!! If you all know Neil Bradley over in Caye Caulker, tell them Hi for us... They were here during the holidays!!!!! WE'LL see you all soon... Rick and Cheri

Belize Mama: you are right, they did keep calling the island "Temptation Island". I noticed as I am a stickler for details. But, they did have a written insert that flashed briefly right before the kids arrived on the island which idenitfied it as San Pedro, Ambergris Caye. Still, I am thousands of people think it is called Temptation Island!

yes laurie, i saw it say s.p., a.c. at the beginning too. of course, an attorney would never miss a detail like that!. i think the "4 resorts" refer to those north of the cut, where the show was shot: capt morgans, mata chica, journeys end and capricorn, i assume are the 4. or maybe sundiver rather than capricorn. i am guessing, but it made sense to me.

hello everyone!! i'm back! my husband and i are going to be on temptation island next sat. yeah!!!! finally i get to see paradise!!
bill, sandshaker, orionhunter, lets meet up! bill i got my bib packed for you!! i'm so excited, i can't be still very long. give me your phone no's and i'll call you when we get to san pedro. we will be swining from the vines first, then we will be on paradise jan.24.
i've been having fun with my new car, it's hard to go the speed limit, it wants to go 80. i feel like a nascar driver in it! as soon as i figure out how to posta picture on the message board, i will.
i watched the fox show, i knew it was going to be sleezy, but i wanted to see paradise. it's a shame they picked belize to show this show..i wondered how everyone felt about it.
i'm ready to party! are yaw?

Most of us here are thrilled with the show. Doesn't matter that it's silly, it shows our island beautifully!
Sorry but only Sandshaker lives here, all the rest are elsewhere.
