Temptation Island: Five Winners of the second season
Considering the turmoil, there were not many winners from Temptation Island season two. A few participants, however, have a mark in the win column.
Last season of Temptation Island made things pretty clear: If you saved your relationship like Javen and Shari, chalk the experience up as a win. Conversely, if you found a new relationship like Evan and Morgan, that’s also a win.
While the complete dumpster fire of a reunion show may have muddied the waters a bit, there are still a few people who survived the relationship apocalypse.
1. Rick is a winner.
There is zero doubt whatsoever that Rick came away as the big winner of the first season.

Originally thought of and painted as a serial cheater and playboy, Rick ended up being extremely loyal, caring, level-headed, and an all-around good guy. He calmly handled Ashley G. giving up all her cookies like a Girl Scout trying to win the regional sales title.
Then, he followed up the emotional devastation by forming a real bond with Medinah.
Ultimately, however, what makes Rick a winner is the aftermath of the reunion show. The aforementioned dumpster fire had quite a bit to do with Ashley G’s inflammatory language, petty jealousy, and just plain saltiness. Lucky for Rick, he and Ashley G. are no longer together, despite leaving the island with one another, and the bond with Medinah appears to have blossomed into a non-toxic relationship.
