‘FBoy Island’ Season 2 Is Summer Sleaze at Its Oiled-Up Finest
HBO Max’s delightful thirst trap of a dating show, FBoy Island, has all the sex appeal a person could possibly want. Like most dating shows in 2022, the cast is replete with professional pretty people. Washboard abs, sexy tattoos, and those dangly earrings that catch the light just right in the club are all regular fixtures, and the entire series might as well be sponsored by Big Protein Powder.
None of that, however, is what really makes this breezy summer fling so refreshing. Like most hot items on the dating market, FBoy Island’s secret weapon is a killer sense of humor—especially in Season 2, which unveiled its first three episodes Thursday on HBO Max.
The game is simple: On FBoy Island, three women date their way through 26 men in a search for love. (*Cough* plus a $100K cash prize and major exposure for their brands.) The season’s leads must choose wisely. While half of the men competing for their hearts claim to be “Nice Guys,” the bros that remain are self-proclaimed “Fboys”—all of whom have the option to take the women’s prize money and run in the end.
