Is ‘FBoy Island’ Still Just as Perfect on a New Network?
If I were ever blessed with the power to convince the entire world to watch one television show, I would force everyone to watch FBoy Island. Raunchy, foolish, and totally entrancing, FBoy Island is nothing short of a masterpiece. All other reality programs should take notes from creator Elan Gale’s war of the fuckboys and the nice guys. The show is an accomplishment worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, primarily for solving womankind’s uphill battle against idiotic men, but also for introducing me to the phrase “FBoy, FBye.”
As it heads into Season 3 on The CW—moving from its original home, Max, where it was wrongfully canceled last year—FBoy Island hasn’t changed a bit. Premiering Oct, 16 on The CW, the show is as genius as it has always been. The three girls feel the same as year’s past: There’s the presumptive “main character,” Katie Thurston of The Bachelorette, who’s flanked by her fellow daters and partners-in-crime, Daniella Grace and Hali Okeowo. All three have the same problem: They can’t stop dating emotionally unavailable “FBoys.”
Two-dozen men will be fighting for these ladies‘’ undying love. Half of the guys are labeled “Nice Guys,” supposedly sweet gentlemen who are looking for love. You might find an engagement ring ready in their suitcases. The other half, however, are self-proclaimed “FBoys,” men who will try to deceive the girls into thinking they’re good. If a girl ends up with a legitimate Nice Guy, the duo will split a $100,000 cash prize to continue their relationship together. But if she ends up with someone who turns out to be an FBoy, he’ll be given the chance to run away with the money on his own.
