Italian Temptation Island 2026 – record ratings & fallout

Entities: Filippo Bisciglia · Sabrina · Temptation Island · Giovanni Grazioso · Maria De Filippi

Overview

The sixth episode of Temptation Island 2026, aired 22 July, drew 3.74 million viewers (31.6 % share) and cemented the series as Canale 5’s summer flagship. Contestants’ social‑media followings surged, with Alessandra Ciociola up 85 % to 80 k and several others gaining 70‑80 %.

The debut attracted more than 2 million viewers, and a mid‑month peak of 4.1 million on 20 July pushed the cumulative monthly audience beyond 6 million, boosted by strong on‑demand replays. Mediaset scheduled a three‑night finale (27‑29 July), turning the closing week into a primetime event. Highlights included Diamante Crispino’s proposal to Bernadette Cinquegrana after 16 years together and tensions between Giovanni Grazioso and Sabrina Soussi.

Episode 7 (27 July) set a new early‑night record with 4.39 million viewers (34 % share). Episode 8 (28 July) edged higher at 4.405 million (34.1 % share), establishing a historic prime‑time benchmark. A follow‑up “un mese dopo” special on 29 July brought back all seven couples; Giovanni declared he felt nothing for ex‑partner Sabrina, who accused his family of judging her, while Cristian Mascolino announced a new relationship with tentatrice Nicole, prompting a sharp reaction from Soraya Sabetta.

Host Filippo Bisciglia faced growing criticism on social media for perceived bias in mediating confrontations, with many accusing him of defending certain women too aggressively. The show's hashtag #TemptationIsland trended as Italy’s most‑clicked topic.

Post‑filming, only two pairs remained together: Andrea and Iris (ring exchanged) and Bernadette and Diamante, now planning a wedding after sixteen years. The remaining couples split, citing lingering mistrust. The backlash against Bisciglia persisted, underscoring the programme’s cultural impact beyond ratings.
