Will the real FBoys please stand up?
That is what’s asked of the men in this week’s episodes of FBoy Island Australia after a contestant went rogue last week and revealed their status.
On the BINGE reality TV series, 24 men fall into one of two categories: FBoy or Nice Guy. And the premise of the program is for them to try to win over three women – Molly O’Halloran, 26, Sophie Blackley, 26, and Ziara Rae, 21 – without revealing their status.
Well, one certain intruder named Vernon confessed he was an FBoy to Molly – and the game was turned on its head.
So in this week’s double episode, host Abbie Chatfield asks all the men to reveal their statuses to level out the playing field.
The Nice Guys happily did, while the FBoys mentally packed their bags for Limbro.
Here’s how it all unfolded …
The big reveal
The first rule of FBoy Island: You do not talk about your FBoy Island status. Did Vernon not get the memo … or the call sheet?
No one is more pissed than fellow contestant Caleb, who is then forced to reveal he is an FBoy. No surprises there. But, you guys, he says he’s “a nice FBoy”. Whatever that means.
For the record, the real Nice Guys in the house are Izaya, Cory, Benny, Josh and – believe it or not – the bleached-blond, tatted-up contestant Justin.

Sophie is floored at Justin’s status as she was convinced he was an FBoy. Good thing she doesn’t judge a book by its cover and still gave him a chance in the competition despite her reservations.
But all may not be as it seems with Justin, so maybe Sophie should keep him at arm’s length. More on this later.
Meanwhile, standing in the FBoy corner with Caleb, we have Sean, Ben, Clay and Joshy. Yeah, we can all hold the applause.
Sophie is again left scratching her head as she was certain Joshy – her frontrunner – was a Nice Guy.
“Honestly I wanna cry. I am so confused right now,” she says in a confessional after getting her wires crossed.
As the guys explain their statuses, you’ve gotta give it to Clay who says the realest comment all season. When asked why he came on the show, he admits he wanted to boost his social media following and career as a YouTube video creator.
But the grossest comment goes to Sean, who admits his MO as an FBoy is to take “pretty girls down a peg and then you can get in”.
Molly is not impressed and, needless to say, eliminates him later in the show.
But not before he pretty much sl*t-shames her for kissing Nick and Vernon at the mixers after she previously told Sean she “wouldn’t feel comfortable kissing in a public space”.
A girl can change her mind, you know.
Besides, someone who doesn’t know Molly’s name four weeks into the competition doesn’t get our vote.
In a confessional before being eliminated, Sean says: “I don’t think much is going on anymore between me and Holly.” Um, maybe because her name is Molly?
Thank u, next.
Photo shoot antics
Pirates, pilots and Playboy bunnies – what better way to see if you have chemistry than a dress-up photo shoot?
Host Abbie Chatfield organises a shoot day where the girls invite their Top 3 guys to their villa for a fun little exercise called Show Us Your Kink Bits.
Disclaimer: No actual “kink bits” were actually shown, but Sophie did rub her “giny” on Joshy’s knee during a sexy poolside photo shoot.
He says he’s never washing said knee again … and there goes his #sponsad for Palmolive.
It’s Ziara and her men’s turn to raid the box of props. Ziara dons matchy-matchy military gear with Caleb: plays angel to Izaya’s devil; and dresses as a lingerie-clad flight attendant with Cory, who plays pilot for the day. TBD on whether or not they joined the Mile High Club.
As for Molly and her men, she set temperatures rising as a cowgirl to Nick’s cowboy. He starts off wanting to keep it PG, but Molly says she’d rather straddle him. Ride that pony, girl.
She then channels her inner Playboy bunny with Vernon, who wears a red Hugh Hefner-style robe.
“Is it bad if I have a boner?” he playfully ask Molly. Hugh would be so proud.
Elsewhere, Molly goes all cops-and-robbers with Sean, but the chemistry just isn’t there. Nick and Vernon play super-sleuths and spy on the pair, concluding that they’re embarrassed for Sean as he’s meant to be an adult entertainer in the outside world.
No chemistry, a shady sl*t-shaming comment and a prior appearance in a reality TV show? Three strikes, Sean’s out.
Old comments resurface
A comment that was made episodes ago resurfaces this week. No, it wasn’t the crude “p***y” comment made by Caleb of which we shall not repeat.
Rather, Benny is not happy Justin makes it to Sophie’s Top 3 as he said from the start that none of the girls were his type. So he tells Sophie what’s up.
“Justin’s not right for you. He’s not been real with you,” Benny tells her.
He says he didn’t stick up for eliminated contestant Nico when he brought up the comment previously. But now Benny wants Sophie not to make a mistake in choosing Justin as he’s “going to end up f***ng you up”.
After his convo with Sophie, Benny confronts Justin, urging him to admit to his remarks.
Justin fires up as well and slams Benny for bringing the cameras along to staunch him.
Did someone fail to tell him that’s how reality TV works? Cameras. In your face. 24/7.
When the “V” word gets thrown around – “villain” – you could almost see Justin morph into Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter, as he has been compared on the show.
As the drama unfolds, Vernon watches on literally sipping his iced cocktail, while Cory chants “Jerry, Jerry” as if he were in the audience at a Jerry Springer taping.
However, Molly misses it all because she and Nick – who’s nicknamed “Big D**k Nick” by the contestants, BTW – snuck away for some private time.
After labelling Nick “predictable”, Molly is thrilled over their secret rendezvous, which she says saw her get some “Big D**k Nick action”.
We kinda want her to elaborate, but we also kinda don’t...
Later, Caleb is unsuccessful in his FBoy Redemption Tour and is eliminated by Ziara. But it’s all good between the pair and they hug it out.
“Am I leaving the island different? No. Come on! You gotta keep it real,” he says in his exit interview.
“Hopefully if people see this, they can just send me a DM and see if we can make it work. Because I’m single and ready to mingle with the right person.”
Benny is also eliminated by Sophie despite him trying to warn her against Justin.
It seems Nice Guys never finish first … or in the Top 2.
