FBoy Island’s secret weapon is a killer sense of humor—especially in Season 2. ... The women provide a reality check for one another, which allows all three to proceed through the show with more confidence. As a result, we see fewer emotional breakdowns on FBoy Island than, say, during a season of The Bachelor. Instead, it’s the dudes of FBoy Island who bring most of the emotional intensity—often in the most hilarious, embarrassing ways.

This show isn’t really about the women (allegedly) looking for love; much as Satan is the most interesting character in Paradise Lost, FBoy Island is built on its villains. ... By the end of season two, I was rooting the hardest for the FBoys’ success. ... Even when some of the men are bad at being bad, FBoy Island remains a fascinating anthropological document of what dating in the 2020s is like for a very specific demographic tranche.
