FBOYISLAND, according to its main character. A conversation with itswolfgangruth
Watching the chaos that is the debut season of HBO Max’s delicious reality “dating” show FBoy Island, I didn’t think it could get better than host and comedian Nikki Glaser saying “FBoy, FBye” and “Nice Guy, Nice Try” to each week’s eliminated self-proclaimed good/ bad guy. I’m proud to say I was wrong. CJ Franco, one of the three women tasked to meet, date, and ultimately identify the “FBoys” and “Nice Guys” from a group of 24 eager-for-camera-time men, came in with one agenda: to have fun.
I don’t know if it was chaotic, because the producers knew what they were doing. They had a plan, but they gave us a lot of freedom, and I think they let us also — at least the girls — weigh in with ideas we had and things you wanted to do. It was more like a creative collaboration because, watching it back, to me, it looks like FBoy Island is a parody of a dating show, the way it’s cut.
Fast-forwarding to the finale twist, where you and the girls found out that if your final choice was a Nice Guy, you and he split the $100,000. But if any of you chose an FBoy, he gained the power to decide to split it with the girl or keep it all and end the “relationship.” Did you know about it beforehand or see that plot coming?
There were some red flags — a lot of the interviews. [Laughs.] I mean, I was doing a casting call for like six months with HBO for this show. A lot of the questions were like, Oh, have you dated a player? Have you dealt with a lot of guys that are, like, bad boys? And they used more of that language. And then they started shifting to “fuckboy.” And I was like, That’s strange, ’cause I wasn’t using that expression because, you know, I’m not Gen Z. [Laughs.
So did mine. That was shocking. But he was always an advantageous person. He was looking out for himself. He said whatever he needed to say to get whatever he needed to get. Sarah handled it like nothing I’ve ever seen. I honestly would be in jail today if I was Sarah. I would not have handled things the way that she did.
[After filming,] I changed absolutely how I perceive men and dating. It changed the way I talk to my friends and give them advice. I came back like a little hurricane. All my friends, I was like, “You’re dating who and he did what?! He didn’t answer your call from what time to what time?” I went crazy. I was like, “No, we’re done tolerating this bullshit and letting these things slide.” It’s not cool. It’s not acceptable. It’s not appropriate.
