FBoy Island


FBoy Island is an American dating reality television series which focuses on three women trying to identify the male contestants as either womanizers or seeking a serious relationship. The series is hosted by Nikki Glaser and premiered on July 29, 2021, on HBO Max.
In August 2021, the series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on July 14, 2022. In December 2022, the series was canceled, with STXalternative planning to shop the series elsewhere. It was also removed from the streaming service. In March 2023, The CW picked up the show for a third season, along with its spinoff Lovers and Liars.

Premise

Hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, the show centers on three female contestants and 24 male counterparts. Of the men, 12 are self-professed nice guys, while the other half identify as fboys, the former being interested in forming a relationship and splitting the $100,000 prize, while the latter are competing for the $100,000 cash prize.
During the progression of each episode, the women select men to go out with. The ending of the episode consisting of three men being chosen to be eliminated and afterwards revealing if they are a nice guy or not. While the nice guys that are eliminated are sent to a mansion called "Nice Guy Grotto" in a limousine, the fboys, sometimes also called Lotharios, are sent to "Limbro". This place lacks luxury and consists of huts made from bamboo, cots and hay-filled pillows. At some point in the first half of the series, the remaining male contestants reveal their own labels to the women and audience. The show always uses the abbreviation fboy; never during the complete run of the show is the full term fuckboy used by the contestants and host.
Apart from being entertainment, creator Elan Gale has stated that the show's alternative purpose is "to try to see if people can change for the right person," with the playboys becoming better partners and the "nice guys" getting recognition for their personality.
