Mark L. Wahlberg, who hosted the controversial reality show when it aired on Fox from 2001 to 2003, will return as host when Temptation Island premieres on USA on Jan. 15. On the show, couples will live the "single life" while living with 24 eligible men and women. The new Temptation Island arrives while CBS is developing the similar-themed Love Island, based on the hit British reality show.

I saw the preview advertising the Temptation Island reboot on USA and what I can guarantee is that it will last a week or more before USA cancels it because what I can tell you is that USA bought the rights to Temptation Island from FOX after FOX cancelled it after two seasons and when the original Temptation Island aired on FOX Mom and I saw only the first season and from what we saw of it Mom and I disliked Temptation Island because it was simply a show that that was not worthy of watching because every single episode of Temptation Island had repeated the same thing over and over and it had no big deal money prize to win at the end and wasn't that much great and at the finale of Temptation Island was simply a question to ask each couple if they chose to get engaged or stay together. The only thing that will probably get Temptation Island great ratings is Mark L. Walberg because he hasn't done any other shows besides Antiques Roadshow and Mark L. Walberg was a huge star for FOX by starring in The Moment Of Truth and the original Temptation Island but I bet USA chose him to host the Temptation Island reboot because Mark thinks that USA will choose him to host a game show or star in a drama series for USA. But this in general is the worst reality show in the world and why USA chose to revive Temptation Island is something i'll never figure out

I wasn't a fan of Temptation Island, but I do like Mark L. Walberg, but I wish that GSN or some other network brings back Russian Roulette and have Walberg hostin' the show, to me, it's his best work, but yeah, the Antiques Roadshow was the only thing he has done
USA Network, Good Luck to ya on The NEW Temptation Island

USA Network has set the bait for another visit to "Temptation Island". The cable net has renewed its reboot of the 2000s reality series for a second season, just six episodes into its freshman run.
Mark L. Walberg, who hosted the original series that aired from 2001-03 on Fox and was based on a European format, is back to oversee the fun. Season 2 will get an extended 12-episode run and include a reunion special.
The NBCUniversal network notes that "Temptation Island" has grown its audience by double digits in viewership since its January 15 debut — up 34% in 18-49, 36% among 25-54 and 23% total viewers, per Nielsen, and ranking as cable top new series of the year for social engagements.
It’s also the No. 1 original cable series in its time period among 18-34.
