‘FBOY Island’: Meet the Women at the Center of HBO Max’s Reality Series
HBO Max’s new reality series FBOY Island is taking a familiar format and flipping it on its head as three women looking for love must weed out the nice guys from the fakes.
The 10-episode season sees 24 men (12 “nice guys” and 12 “fboys”) vying for the affection of bachelorettes Nakia Renee, Sarah Emig, and CJ Franco with varying motivations. While the nice guys are supposedly there for romance, the fboys are more focused on securing the cash prize that awaits the season’s winner.
While you can get to know the men a little more here, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Nakia, Sarah, and CJ, below.
