'An instant connection'--but girlfriend keeps plugging

One viewer's impressions of the desires and deceptions this week on Fox's island of seduction.

        On last week's episode of "Temptation Island 3," Chicago's Anthony explained his attraction to Ashley this way: "There was an instant connection. I couldn't help it."
        What he couldn't help was lying next to her in a hammock, stroking her hair and possibly kissing her as they hid their faces behind a pillow.
        "[Ashley has] pretty eyes, pretty smile. I like her a lot."
        Watching this on tape later, his girlfriend Stephanie tried to keep a positive outlook. "She seems sweet," she said. "He likes nice girls. He looks happy. He was smiling in the hammock."
        Grimacing, she admitted, "It is tough to see."
        Though Stephanie went on a date with Jeff, much to Kara's chagrin, she spent most of her free time with hottie Derrick. Watching a tape of the two of them hanging out, Anthony was obviously jealous, but he dealt with it by putting the blond model down.
        "He's nothing," Anthony said. "Maybe he actually has something to say. Maybe he is deep."
        Then he laughed, probably 'cause Ashley is such a deep thinker. Yeah, that must be it.
        Kristin's three pals looked annoyed when she said that at least her boyfriend didn't do anything as bad as the other guys. You know they're just hoping he sleeps with someone now to do her in.
        As it was, there was no love lost between Stephanie and Kara. After Kristin did an "oh, no she didn't" move by asking out Derrick -- when she knew he and Stephanie were tight -- Stephanie asked out Jeff, whom Kara had already sunk her teeth into.
        Bad news for Kara: Jeff likes Stephanie better. "When I'm talking to her," he said, "it's like I'm talking to myself."
        Bad news for Kristin: Derrick likes Stephanie better, too. He said he wouldn't go out with the dizzy blond again.
        Melissa had a minor breakdown watching her boyfriend Michael grope Tiffany yet again. I can see why the immature lug still lives at home with his parents. Too bad they hadn't taught Michael some better manners.
        On tonight's episode, he talks dirty to Tiffany. And host Mark Walberg will make sure Melissa gets to hear all his overtures.
