FBoy Island Review

I thought that this show was pretty funny at first. The host and the contestants didn’t take themselves too seriously and it seemed like a parody of some other dating reality tv shows. However, it got more serious and dramatic throughout the season. One odd part of the show was the eliminated contestants were banished to a section of the island for an extended period of time. The fboys had it pretty bad – hopefully that was just for tv and that they actually had decent food to eat and stuff. That must be true since there would be no way the first eliminated fboy would be able to survive just eating coconuts for a few weeks. It was also a bit annoying to watch how each of the girls knew that someone was not good for them but still kept them in the competition. This is probably similar to what happens in real life, but in so many of the solo camera shots, they were questioning if so-and-so was here for the right reasons etc. It was clear that the male and female contestants had things to work on such as their openness to others, communication, commitment, among various other aspects and it was cool to see the people recognize their faults and try to grow. Whether or not the growth stayed after the show, I’m not sure, but it made the show more watchable. I think the way the prize at the end was handled will make it a bit tough to have additional seasons. Unless they make changes, like how Too Hot to Handle made changes, I am unsure whether the fboys would be as willing to participate on the show, besides to have a chance to be at a vacation like resort and have the opportunity to date an attractive woman. But being self proclaimed fboys, they are supposedly already able to date a lot of attractive women so that probably isn’t too much of a draw. At the end of the show, when the girl chooses an fboy, the guy has the choice to take the money or to share the money. However, in the finale of the first season, the fboy who took the money couldn’t even use it the way they wanted and it had to be donated to charity. Like if the same rules apply in another season, all the fboys are going to share the money and then break up after the show – there’s literally no reason for them to spend all this time on the show and then end up with no money at all. I’m not saying that they should’ve given him the money, but the fact that the details about the compensation for this dating show was murky until the last moment was not great. Overall, I enjoyed watching the show, but it wasn’t my favorite dating reality tv show.
