Temptation Island is where relationships go to die. There is almost no doubt the sustained temptation gets the best of everyone on the show.

How does a threesome on Temptation Island get topped? Is it even possible? Are there two relationships that have suffered irreconcilable differences at this point? Going into this season, it was an obvious bad decision for all four couples, but at least two of them looked like they had a chance of success.

Is there any success possible at this point?

Rick and Ashley G.

Last Episode Odds: LOL% chance of success.

Updated Odds: LMAO% chance of success.

Reason for the change: After getting reverse friend-zoned, Ashley G. is upset about hooking up with KB. And then she’s playful with him. She wants to leave Rick so badly, but feels guilty about looking like a slut. The fact that she says she doesn’t want to do anything further to jeopardize her relationship (LOL), means she doesn’t have a clue. And that’s why she chooses Jose for a date, because there is zero risk.

Rick chooses Medinah again, and they may as well be boyfriend and girlfriend writing notes to one another. That status is further cemented by the apparent fellatio the night of their date. It’s cool though, because the bonfire video shows Ashley G. ask to touch KB’s penis. Again. Yet, she has the nerve, THE GALL, to be upset when she sees aforementioned fellatio at the bonfire.

Casey and Ashley H.

Last Episode Odds: 9% chance of success.

Updated Odds: 5% chance of success.

More from Reality TV

Reason for the change: Casey starts the episode off by telling Medinah he’s fine with breaking up with Ashley H., and he’d like to continue play the field. (Guess what’s going to be in the bonfire video!!) Medinah calls him out as an a-hole, and he has no semblance of an idea of what’s occurring (which he later admits). Of course, Ashley H. is slowly slipping from his grasp and he doesn’t even know it. She’s starting to feel badly about picking the same people, because she knows Casey will see that as an emotional connection.

Casey apparently doesn’t care about that, because he asks Payton out on a date. And when Ashley H. hears him say he’s fine with losing her, it’s devastating. So much, in fact, the other ladies start sympathy crying.

Gavin and Esonica

Last Episode Odds: 35% chance of success.

Updated Odds: 34% chance of success.

Reason for the change: Guess what? Esonica is still feeling Kareem. Each conversation she leaves a small gap, and he drives a small wedge in between Esonica and Gavin. On the other hand, Gavin asks Mia on a date, and the first question is, “Which one is Mia?” It’s good to see some other people enter the game.

The bonfires reveal Gavin’s toe-sucking, which disgusts everyone in attendance, but otherwise there is no collateral damage.

David and Kate

Last Episode Odds: 5% chance of success.

Updated Odds: 0% chance of success.

Reason for the change: Kate was obviously going to have an issue with the threesome. Hell, she damn near vomited when she saw him flirting in the hot tub with Toneata (who was not in the threesome). Samantha’s walk of shame is hilarious, and it’s nearly simultaneous with Rick’s realization of Kate’s impending heart attack. And now on to Temptation Island‘s theme song.

Kate’s heart may be saved by Dominique, however, if he can avoid his ridiculous jealousy. He basically yells that he wants to be sent home when he doesn’t get selected for the date. Aden’s her choice, and he thinks his patience is the reason for selection. It doesn’t matter though, because she spends half the date crying about David, and actually ruins part of Ashley H.’s date venting.

The bonfire? Yikes. See above for updated odds of success.
