The latest season of “Temptation Island” will test more than the strength of the couples’ relationships … it will test them for coronavirus, and perhaps.
The risque reality show is making its way to Hawaii this weekend as the cast and crew prepare to film for the next 2 months on the Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort amid the pandemic. Maui’s Mayor, Michael Victorino, made the announcement, but he is far from upset.
The mayor says he is not worried about about 100 people setting up shop on his island for a TV production, but that it was approved by the State Filming Commission, and he hopes all the necessary COVID-19 protocols instituted by Gov. . David Ige will be followed.
Victorino says the cast and crew will operate in a bubbly atmosphere at the Andaz resort and are constantly monitored by medical professionals, but he is still not happy, and adds … “If something goes wrong, we will shut it down if as soon as possible. “
The mayor says the only reason he is not pushing harder to put the kibosh on the show is because it offers work to the hotel workers who have been out of a job for 4 or 5 months.
This will be the 6th season of “Temptation Island” as it makes its way through filming … the third of the updated version on USA Network.
