This sounds like it’s gonna be a really fun time.”
Let’s let Thurston define these categories for us: “An FBoy is someone who makes decisions selfishly.
You know, they’re not taking into consideration the person that it could impact.

They’re doing things for their own gain, pleasure, reward, whatever that is.
But if they pick an FBoy,hegets to decide what to do with that $100,000.
The show’s emphasis on fun was a distinct change of pace for Thurston.

“A lot of the guys were very light-hearted, and it was funny,” she says.
“Oftentimes in a show likeThe Bachelor, that’s not the tone, right?
You’re almost kind of redirected, like, ‘Okay guys, like let’s be serious now.’
Whereas onFBoy Island, we really got to just have fun and laugh, and that was embraced.”
The uninterrupted conversations made for a dating scene that better mimicked real life, Thurston says.
“I got to sit down and just have uninterrupted, organic, non-produced conversations.
There’s no, ‘So do you want to get married and have babies?’
Another obvious distinction from theBachelor-verse?
Thurston had some company.
Okeowo, 28, and Grace, 33, had no idea that Thurston was already a reality star.
The new season ofFBoy Islandpremieres Oct. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
