A funny, addictive, shrewdly executed twist on a familiar format. ... Crucially, the women not only come off as relatively intelligent and perceptive, but also generally have each other’s backs, collaboratively sleuthing to sniff out FBoys and saving each other from unpleasant dates.

Nobody in the show wants to be rejected, but even more importantly, none of them want to lose. But that only makes the show honest in its artificiality. ... It's a longform study of bad human decision-making while drunk on an emotional craft cocktail that might as well be named "I Can Fix Him." And for anyone who has shunned the whole "Bachelor Nation" discourse, it's something you may never have expected to discover in this TV genre: a good match. Read full review

“FBoy Island” is “The Bachelorette” meets “Bachelor in Paradise” meets the kind of judicious producer interference that makes a summer-treat show like this delectably icy. Glaser, who effortlessly rises to the top tier of reality hosts with this single season, embodies the vengeful wink at “fboys” underlying the series. ... “Fboy Island” works so well because it takes the “fboy” part seriously: They’re there to be ogled, judged and ultimately taken down a peg.

If you’re a fan of The Bachelor franchise or Love Island, Love Is Blind, and Too Hot To Handle, just jump right in. Don’t even think about it, you know you’re gonna love this. Read full review

FBoy Island somehow manages to teeter between an exciting, funny concept and a half-baked idea that needs to work out its kinks. Read full review

“FBoy Island” isn’t totally unaware of how bonkers it is, as evidenced by Glaser’s pointed jokes about the cast’s macho nonsense and the fact that eliminated “f-boys” get exiled to a beach shack labeled “Limbro.” But it also never quite interrogates its own premise enough for it to make much sense, either. ... Every episode brings a new set of arbitrary rules and allowances for when the contestants don’t feel like adhering to them; by the fifth episode, practically the entire premise crumbles in front of our very eyes.

Nikki Glaser is fantastic. So funny. However I’ve never felt tricked by a show before. Screwing Garrett out of what was promised to him crossed the line for me. I wanted to reach out and pay for his attorney fees. Because of it, I feel betrayed as a viewer. I get it, the dude didn’t haveNikki Glaser is fantastic. So funny. However I’ve never felt tricked by a show before. Screwing Garrett out of what was promised to him crossed the line for me. I wanted to reach out and pay for his attorney fees. Because of it, I feel betrayed as a viewer. I get it, the dude didn’t have good intentions, but that was the entire premise of the show. These girls get a treat these guys like puppets and when finally the puppet can turn on a puppet master the show rips his reward out from under him. There is no way I will ever watch future seasons. What’s the point. The girls always win. I do not recommend this to anybody. This show is a complete waste of your time. I wish I had my time back.
I have never posted a review before. That’s how pissed I am… Expand
