Surprisingly, Fox's very skeevy Temptation Island — on which sexy singles attempted to seduce men and women struggling in their relationships — tried to prove it had some sort of morals by kicking off Watson and Patterson. The two were accused of lying on their application to the show, by omitting that they had a child together. (Apparently, TI drew the line at breaking up families.) Of course, Fox couldn't resist extending their airtime a little: Watson and Patterson (and cameras) were taken to a hotel to work out their problems before leaving the island. Later, in a defamation lawsuit against Fox, Watson and Patterson claimed show producers knew about their son all along, and they were having a hard time finding acting work as a result of Fox making them out to be bad parents.
