FBOY Island (or Fboy Island) was a reality dating series that features three women who moved to a tropical paradise where they navigate a dating pool in order to find a lasting love connection. According to the tagline, this is the show where "Some hunt for love, others love the hunt".
Premise[]
As the three women try to find their soul mate, 24 men (i.e. 12 self-proclaimed "nice guys" looking for love & 12 self-proclaimed "Fboys" who are there to compete for cold, hard cash [i.e. $100,000]). By the finale, all will be revealed where we ask the all important question: who is a Nice Guy?, who is an FBoy? and who the women ultimately choose? Can FBoys truly reform? Do Nice Guys always finish last?
