“I’ve had multiple women in my life before,” Brion says minutes into his Temptation Island journey. “I’ve had threesomes. I’ve done it all.” From that moment on, a ménage à trois starts to feel inevitable — Temptation Island’s raunchy version of Chekhov’s gun. Sure enough, in Episode 5, it goes off when Brion, who came to the experiment with his girlfriend, Shanté, ends up in the shower with Alex and Courtney.

“Up until that point, everyone was talking about a threesome,” Alex, one of the singles tasked with tempting the men, tells Tudum. “Everyone was like, ‘Oh, Brion wants a threesome, who’re the girls going to be?’” Alex and Courtney agree that it felt organic when it finally did happen. The women were immediately attracted to Brion — both gave their first impression bracelets to him — and their chemistry with him and with one another continued to intensify.
