You can't take this show seriously when everyone's job is 'social media influencer' or 'Bitcoin investor' lol.

Not that serious

Interesting idea, gutless execution
mstangescu25 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
While most reality shows choose an unrealistic representation of people as participants, this show goes above and beyond in choosing the most vapid, plastic influencers.
What's worse, though, is that this show doesn't have the courage to be honest or even consistent with itself. It constantly changes its rules to favor the Instagram model females who already have all the power of choice. Even so, they still make all the wrong choices and instead of suffering the consequences the Fboys choose to split the prize money with them because that way they don't damage their social media careers.
Season 2 was particularly insulting due to the ending being engineered at the last moment so that a woman could screw over the guys, then proceeding to compliment herself on how well she played the game even though she theoretically had no foreknowledge of the last minute rule change to allow her to craft a strategy of any kind. Also she at all times had all the power for every minute of the game so her risk factor was 0.
This show wants to be empowering for women but it fails spectacularly while sending the most awful messages possible: that women choose with their vajayjay over their brains, that reformed fboys who take a chance and open up to actually find a relationship get screwed but those who pretend to be reformed can save face by sharing their money with the girl and then dumping them after the show.
Oh yeah, and for a show that considers Fboys bad it's surprising how nobody is even allowed to question the women making out and having sex with dudes left and right. Apparently it's ok when women do it.

Finale ruined the show/sequel possibilities

SPOILERS- It was sleazy and dumb not to pay Garrett M. The show can't pretend to have the moral high ground when it lies like that, to a person who consistently delivered what he promised from the outset. Also, why would anyone participate in another season or watch? I loved the show until this nonsense, so congrats on screwing up another ending HBO (GOT-style) and ruining a show. Start asking me before pulling these bs moves. Happy to help.
OG Jared was genius btw. Best character since Cartman.

I love Nikki Glaser. I think she's extremely funny and charming and she brought some life into the show. The rest of the it wasn't that hard to watch until the finale where they decide to change the rules and screw a guy who just played the game the right way. I wonder how they plan on making a sequel to this. There's no turning back. I doubt anyone is gonna wanna watch it again.

At the end of the first season they didn't pay up to the "winning" f-boy but then payed up to the winning f-girl in the second season. Wasn't the whole point that the women were looking for love. Yet they cast a woman who blatantly didn't give a f and just wanted the money. Then they cheered for her being a f-girl but punished the f-boys the whole time.

I expected this to be a typical reality island hot stuff show but toward the end of the first episode I started having my suspicions that this is a scripted comedic stab at those exact shows. Which if so, is so much more brilliant and will definitely change my rating. Once I figure it out I will update!
Promotes FGirls and punishes both Nice Guys and FBoys

Warning: Spoilers
I am probably never gonna watch this show again. After 2 seasons. They took the money from Garrett who won it fair and square and let Tamaris take the money. I don't think anyone should hurt anyone and be praised for it whether it's a man or a woman. The worst part is that FBoys had to reveal that they are FBoys but the girls don't have to. They act like guys don't have feelings too.
It's Satire
jeremyjware10 August 2021
People aren't understanding that this is poking fun at the ridiculousness of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Nikki Glaser is hilarious whenever she appears. The contestants take this so seriously and it's fascinating to watch these unsuspecting contestants catch feelings. The fact that these people are attractive makes for a fun shallow aspect that hurts no one. Lighten up people, and have a laugh. I watched every episode out so far in one night. Instantly hooked. Keep hitting em with the Hein Nikki.
Spoilers .. both seasons pretty good until the final episodes.

LOVE Nikki G and her standup!!!!! This FBoy Island series is a "reality" show, so we'll never know how much is spontaneous and how much is scripted. Nikki has a knack for cracking dirty jokes, and turning a clever phrase on serious subjects. BUT.... the rules at end of both seasons were altered at the very last second, and not told to the guys! Not cool. As douchie as some of the guys were, they were playing by the rules and totally got goofed over. If there's a season 3, the dudes better not expect to come out winners.
Fun but.... (Micro spoiler)

UPDATED This is fun if you like the humor of the host Nikki Glaser you will like the rest. Until the final.
They don't explain the price rules before the last episode and after the competition !HAS ENDED! They change the rules to screw someone over... They go 100% PC/SJW in the last episode likely because the show is made by a woman and most audiences will be girls so "girl power", but it took away any lessens learned by the girl/girls.
Season 2 promise to hold up to the rules that are set but in last episode is changes the rules aging........ Hate the player not the game, these people hate their own game...

Stereotypical shallow and occasionally funny
Rainy-0130 July 2021
If you're into abs, too-good-to-be-true looking guys that you can meet in almost any club, combined with the stereotypical superficial girl who believes in Mr. Right (now), then this show is definitely for you.
It plays into all those Bachelor and Bachelorette shows, with a touch of Temptation Island mixed in. The girls have to choose their dates. Any number of the boys that look like the typical frat boys. They want to date nice guys and sort out the so called fboys. After watching an episode of this show, the word "fboy" will cause a reaction in your mind, because they use it so often. We find out who the "nice guys" and the 'fboys" are, only that outwardly, there isn't much of a difference.
The three girls are picking the guys and each one sends one of the boys home at the end of the episode. Sadly, the girls are very superficial and don't come across as very smart. The overuse of vocal fry, the word "like" and just general cluelessness is overwhelming at times.
For people who are into clubbing, in their mid to late 20s and completely not concerned about having a good and meaningful relationship, this is the perfect show.
For those that are more serious about relationships who aren't necessarily in the superficial things, this isn't going to be very appealing.

The ending of this show was absolutely terrible. Save your time and do not waste the countless hours I did. The F boys were promised $100k if they win the show. Garret won and the twist at the end was he could not keep the money but instead was forced to donate it to a charity. (Because everybody has to be nice and we can't reward those who actually played the game to play it.) This whole PC world we live in has destroyed reality shows. Sarah knew he was a F boy when she chose him. The whole show you are predicting who they will choose. If they choose a nice guy the girls win and if they chose a F boy, then the F boy will get the chance to pick who wins and keeps the money. This is the whole premise of the show. This makes me feel the creator was burned in his actual life and is using this show to get back at people.
Terrible do not waste you time watching this trash.

vaughn-1484229 July 2022
Listen-is it stupid? Yes. This show is silly and trashy and low-brow...but you already knew that. You're looking up a reality tv dating show, of course it's gonna be trashy. But you know what? It does trashy WELL. The episodes are full of action and every episode has enough drama that you don't get episodes like you do in The Bachelorette that just feel like boring "filler" episodes. First realty tv show in awhile to be unapologetically stupid; it doesn't take it self to seriously. Will this show form long meaningful relationships for its contestants? No. But that's not what reality tv is about. On top of that the cast is always diverse and the host's humor is funny because she knows what she's saying is goofy. So as far as a reality show goes...one of the best ones to come out in awhile.
Great show until the end

Great show until the end, one of the worst endings I have ever seen. This poor guy played within the rules set out and after winning the producers totally screwed him out of his winnings. While totally screwing themselves out of a second season as well. The sad part is the show truly seemed like a fresh idea within the trashy reality TV show world. That being said do not waste your time.
This is not Games of Throne...

Honestly, to all rating this "1" and calling it shallow. Wake up, you're watching a reality show called "Fboy Island". What kind of depth are you expection here? Once you saw somebody's job title was "Bicoin Investor" - it was more than obvoius that the whole thing is a JOKE, it's a parody of the dating genre of reality shows.
I don't even watch dating reality shows, byt this one really grabas attention. It's funny. It's kind of like those old dating VH1 reality shows of 2011 but less trashy.
Host is VERY funny.

These people are so shallow and ridiculous. It seems all are Influencers and many BitCoin Investors.
It's cringe times 10.
Everyone acts like they are so intelligent and like to tell you, but come across as a pathetic joke.

It is hysterical to see these delusional self absorbed plastic surgery victims get their dreams shattered when they try to find true love on a game show. It is crazy to see shallow women with caked on makeup, fake hair, and "enhanced" bodies call out guys for being fake. This show is not for everyone. It is not for anyone into tv that finds true love and inner beauty. The men have no business being in a relationship but are funny. A true dumpster fire.
Pure Drivel

I thought this would be trashy fun, but all I wanted to do was go deaf and blind after seeing it. The people on this show are incredibly dumb and vain. I feel like I lost some brain cells that I will never get back. Don't waste your time.

Like a cancer. It's like this generation is fighting to be the first ones to the bottom. How low can we go? How much worse can things get? Sickening. I'm no prude, but this has to stop. It's not empowering, it's disgusting for both men and women.
