Although Mark L. Walberg interacts with the cast on "Temptation Island" while greeting the couples and during the bonfires, he's not present for a majority of the action. Because of that, when he later watches the show, he and his wife, Robbi Morgan Walberg, are just as shocked by some of the twists as viewers are.
"I could probably know more about what's going on than I do," he said. "I get a briefing. I get an understanding of what's happening, but I really choose not to get too in those weeds because I really much rather just experience their experience at the bonfire with them when it happens, and then we'll go wherever we go, conversation-wise."
Walberg's reaction later, when watching all the details play out on screen, is probably quite similar to that of many "Temptation Island" fans.
"To then see what happened and what's said when I can't hear them talking to themselves really blows my mind sometimes," he said. "My wife and I watch it and go, 'Oh my God, I had no idea.'"
However, Walberg said he doesn't like seeing the "messy" moments that some viewers might enjoy. Instead, he and his wife love to observe the "growth someone goes through and see them have an epiphany of sorts that is empowering."
"Temptation Island" returns for season four on Wednesday, March 16, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network.
