(BIRDSONG)

- Since the beginning of time,

women have been subjected to the charisma,

the clean-cut charms

and the outright bullshit!

(GRUNTS, PANTS)

Must be running somewhere.

Of the type of man

we call...

Fboy.

Can I get a hooyah?!

LOW-PITCHED ECHO: Hooyah!

Hello, boy.

- # So fast.

# So free. #

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- (PANTS)

(SNIFFS)

Lynx Africa.

They're here.

I've got 20 Kiwi guys, and they're coming in hot!

(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

10 of them as self-proclaimed nice guys looking for love.

And the other 10 are every heterosexual woman's worst―

best― it's a complicated― nightmare!

Fboys.

- The nice guys are just going to be murdered.

- Don't give a fuck about them, eh.

- The nice guys definitely finish last.

- I have a 12-inch penis.

- Our guys are here to sweep one of three hot Kiwi women right off their feet.

- I'm definitely ready for love.

- I think it's important to bring the romance back.

So you are meeting one-on-one, going on dates rather than through a screen.

- If I had to describe myself in three words ―

an absolute firecracker.

If our ladies couple up with a nice guy, they get to share 50 K.

- Girls are so much more than just a fit body.

- I'm here to give love a shot.

- But if they fall for an Fboy, he can choose to walk away with all of the cold, hard cash.

- You know, that's a shitload of money.

- 50 K's a shit-ton of money.

- Us girls were talking. We were like, 'We just want Fboy, Fboy, Fboy, like, gone.'

- May the best man win. It's gonna be no hard feelings for me.

(CHUCKLES)

- I can't even trust him anymore. I can't even trust anything he said.

- (SIGHS) I just feel like a dog with a bone (SNIFFLES)

that just doesn't know how to let it go.

- # The time has come.

# I'll show you.

# Running so fast. #

- This is it ― the games I don't wanna play.

- Better watch his fuckin' back.

- This looks like Dumb, Dumb and Dumber.

- This is stupid!

- Really hoping that, outside of this, we could have a future together.

Oh my God!

- I'm putting everything on the line here.

This could be over if he takes the money.

- Oh, he has no idea what's coming.

- No way!

- Why is everyone smiling?

Is everyone smiling at my demise?

- Welcome...

to FBOY Island.

OK, now, ladies, let's have

a little bit of girl talk here.

Did you come to this island

to meet a nice guy...

or an Fboy?

- Yeah, I'm hoping for a nice guy, but I'm always drawn to the Fboys,

so I'm a little bit worried.

I'm definitely ready for love.

And even though I've been hurt, my walls are still down.

You'd think I would put my walls up,

but I obviously just want love,

(CHUCKLES) because I just keep going.

- I'm the same. I'm always drawn to them as much as I try not to find them.

- Oh, boy.

- I'm at the point in my life now where I'm looking for someone long-term, and I thought,

'What better way than meeting 20 guys at a time?' (LAUGHS)

- Shall we start with the karakia? - Yes. - Yes, please. (CHUCKLES)

- May there be really hot guys who...

aren't complete tools. Thank you, universe.

Oh, and as its New Zealand, please let none of them be your ex. - (LAUGHS)

- Kia ora.

- I've definitely dated more Fboys than nice guys.

Look, you go to an ice cream parlour, right?

Who wants to pick vanilla?

And all nice guys tend to be vanilla.

- You ready to meet 'em? - Absolutely.

- ECHOES: Release the hounds!

(HORN BLOWS)

(INTENSE MUSIC)

- Feeling any BDE, guys?

- (LAUGHS)

- Kia ora, boys. Welcome to FBOY Island.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

I gotta say, you boys ― you're looking fire.

- Cheers. - Standard.

- Thank you. You too.

- I'm seeing some sick sleeves,

some tight fades,

some TikTok-made-me-do-it teeth whitener.

(LAUGHTER)

- There are guys who are Fboys here, and I've got a pretty good idea of who is and who isn't.

But some of these are juniors; some of these young boys, so hopefully they fucking slip up.

- Allow me to introduce you to...

Kita. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- Thank you.

- Kiera. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- Gobsmacked. I see Kiera ― I'm like, 'Holy shit.'

Like, that's my type.

That's, like, all my ex's.

- And Coco. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- They all look amazing, Coco especially though.

(CHUCKLES)

I think the reaction from the boys says enough.

- So here's the deal.

Standing in front of you right now, giving you eyes for Christmas ―

10 self-identifying nice guys,

10 self-identifying Fboys.

Now, if you choose to leave with a nice guy,

the two of you will split $50,000 ― 25 grand each.

But if you choose an Fboy,

he could get all of it.

- Oooh!

- You get none of it. So you better have your BS detectors turned up to 11,

because, trust me, there are 10 Fboys over there

who are gonna do and say anything to get the girl...

to get the money.

- There's a load of money on the line. (LAUGHS) Like...

You can't say that that money sitting there in a big packet isn't ideal.

- Now, ladies, you each have three leis

that you can dish out to the guys who impress you the most right now.

Boys, come do your thang. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- Kia orana, ladies. It's lovely to finally meet you.

A lot of good lads to pick from. So good luck.

- Oh my God!

Greg!

Those eyebrows.

I can't. He's gorgeous.

(LAUGHTER)

Ooh, OK.

- Kia orana, ladies.

So excited. I can't wait to get to know all three of you and hopefully build a connection.

- Thank you.

I quite like what I'm seeing.

I want, like, a sort of Jack Sparrow sort of look.

And he was like― fit it to a T.

- Hey, ladies. (ALL GASP)

Sorry.

I think I'm falling for youse. (ALL EXCLAIM)

- Hola. Me llamo Martin. I'm from Chile. I'm half Argentinean. Can't wait to meet you all.

- Spicy.

- Really looking forward to getting to know all of you.

- Really looking forward to meeting all you girls.

- I can't wait to get to know you.

- Knock, knock. - ALL: Who's there?

- Arch. - Arch who?

- Bless you. (LAUGHTER)

- (SIGHS)

- How are we, ladies?

I'm Sam. I'm 22, going on 23 in a couple of days.

- Tall, big and beefy. That's, like, my type.

- Can't wait to get to know yas. So, cheers.

- I'm actually 31, so I'm the daddy of this group.

So we'll put these kids to bed, and then we'll go have some fun. (LAUGHTER)

- Really, I'm just here to provide you with anything that you might need while you're here.

So yeah, just think of me like your personal concierge that is also trying to date you.

- You guys are looking absolutely stunning.

- You're all looking stunning.

- You all look stunning today.

- All of youse are looking absolutely― Oh, fuck.

(LAUGHTER)

- Oh, fuck.

- But, nah, yeah qualified plumber and gas fitter,

so I already know how to lay that pipe, if you know what I mean. (BOYS EXCLAIM, LAUGH)

- I'm a personal trainer by day and a male entertainer by night.

(ALL WHOOP)

- Oh my God!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I've still got the singlet. (LAUGHS)

- Hey, ladies. You guys look amazing today.

Good to see Coco.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

- What was that?!

- Yeah, well, he's one of my best friends.

He runs in the same group as me.

It's nice having, like, a little bit of familiarity.

It's like― It's like a little piece of home.

(GASPS)

- Hey, girls. How are we? My name's Zac.

- What are you doing here? What you doing here?

- I'm a 27-year-old business owner from Auckland.

And I can't wait to get to know you three.

- OK. Am I getting punked?

He's here.

Oh no!

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Well, ladies, you already have men falling all over you, literally.

And you got a free strip show.

Not bad, right?

So, Kita, who do you wanna lei first?

I mean, who do you wanna give a lei to? (LAUGHTER)

- The first boy that I want to pick...

is Nathan.

- Yo. Let's go! (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- Zac.

Sam C.

- Appreciate it.

- Here we go, Sam.

- Thank you so much, Kita. - No worries. - Appreciate you.

- Kiera, girl, you're up.

- I think every girl likes the phrase strip show.

So, Dalton.

William.

I think we're gonna have a lot in common ― both tradies.

So, Taite. - Beauty.

Thank you. - Lay that pipe, bro.

- Thank you. Tradie, eh? - There you go. Thank you. Tradies.

- Thank you, beautiful. - Thank you.

Cheers for the show. - You can keep the shirt.

- (LAUGHS) Oh, thanks.

- OK, Coco.

- Oh my God. OK

Greg.

Martin.

Zac. - Hey.

- Ooh, so Zac got picked twice?

- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.

- Zac, you must be feeling good right now.

- It's a pretty good feeling. Not gonna lie.

What gives me the edge is probably my good looks. (LAUGHS)

- All right, if you got a lei, shot. You are gonna hit up the VIP section.

If you haven't been laid yet, you're definitely not one of the Fboys. (CHUCKLES)

Don't worry. There's time.

But this is my advice to you, OK?

Don't hold back too much. Be brave. Bring your A-game.

All right, everyone, go check out your new digs. (CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

(BRIGHT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Paradise!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- I was just like, 'Wow, this is sick. Where's the beers at?'

But I looked around, and I was like, 'Oh, these guys are just a bunch of vodka sodas.' (LAUGHS)

- Whoo!

- I walked in; I saw Kiera, and I was like, 'Oh!'

- Yeah, yeah, same, bro.

Same, bro. 20 guys shifting on the same one. Yeah, sounds about right, G.

- Yeah, yeah.

The nice guys in this villa are just going to be murdered.

Like, there's just nothing that they do that is gonna work.

- Well, you boys must be super stoked with your leis, then.

- Yeah, bro. Bit of a battle going on there, eh.

Yeah, bro. - I'm ready to swing, you know?

Just maybe take him down. - LAUGHS: 'Oh!' Full of it.

- I got a lei. I'm so happy.

Thank God I would fuckin' weird clothes, cos I stand out. (CHUCKLES)

- Who's got the best chat, eh? (LAUGHS)

(HIP-HOP MUSIC)

- (LAUGHS)

- How unreal is this experience? Like, oh my God, I'm so glad that we have each other.

- I know. I'm gonna be, like, blind.

Like, I feel like I'm just gonna fall for everything that they say.

So you're gonna have to help me out.

Love bombing is like a big red flag for me.

It's when, like, a guy is obsessed with you in, like, 48 hours.

I didn't realise that was happening to me, but it definitely was.

I need to remember that, like, if a guy likes you, they're actually nervous

and they're not gonna come on to you, like, hard.

That sounded... (LAUGHS) bad.

- But it is quite hard when they're really good looking. Yeah.

I'm really over dickheads.

I actually do wanna find someone, and I know I'm so dubious.

Like, who finds the love on a reality show?

Oh my God. Get real. But I wanna be proven wrong.

- Hello, my ladies!

- Hello, hello!

- Oh my gosh. That was some big boy energy.

Are we good? Are we OK? - Yeah.

- So, OK, you've had a bit of a look at them.

Do you feel like you've already gone, 'He's an Fboy. He's a nice guy.'

- I think Zac looks like an Fboy, who we've both picked.

- You both did pic Zac. - Yeah.

- So I actually do know Zac.

(SIGHS) He's in my DMs.

- Oh, he slipped right into them, did he?

- He actually made it from Tinder into the DMs.

And I never usually let Tinder guys graduate to the DMs anyways,

But yeah, he made it to the DMs, and he was funny.

- I think we've got our work cut out for us.

I mean, like, I thought it was gonna be easy, but for me, at least, I'm starting to wonder now.

I think of myself as quite a trusting person.

So maybe when it comes to lying or red flags, I'm slightly colour-blind.

Am I attracted to Fboys?

Absolutely.

But I'm trying to stay away from that now. (CHUCKLES)

- OK. You know what you have to do.

And remember, you always can lean on each other, and I can see you're already doing that.

So you're sweet, right? - 100%.

- OK. I'll leave you guys to it.

See ya. Bye! - See you!

- We've got this. We can do it.

(LAUGHS)

(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- Pool party time.

It's gonna be pretty hectic, quite rowdy.

Competition has ramped up quite a bit.

All of the guys wanna make their mark.

- We made it. - Yeah, we made it. - Lads on tour.

- So what are you gonna do tonight? What's the plan?

- I'm relying on this God-sent personality.

- We've done well, bro. And these girls are not bad.

- Thing is ― there's 20 of us, bro.

We look like dogs on heat around them.

- Bro, just like another Saturday night. (BOTH LAUGH)

- Yes!

All these guys got great chat, but it's gonna be interesting

to see what boys' balls shrink and what boys' balls grow.

And I'm a grower.

- I don't know if the bro code exists on this island. - Well, yeah, not here.

(ALL EXCLAIM, WHOOP)

- Wow!

- All righty, who's getting this party started? (ALL CHEER)

Yeah?

Really excited. I'm just like,

(PUFFS) let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's have these chats!

- How's it going? What's your name?

- How do you not know my name?

- Hi. Nice to meet you again. - Very nice to meet you. - I'll give you a hug. How areyou?

- Hi, sweetheart. All good? - And Sam.

- How are ya? - Good.

- There's my Johnny Depp. (LAUGHS) - Oh! I'll take it.

- My head is, like, spinning.

I'm so nervous cos it's literally, like, a swarm of boys all around us.

Really intense.

(LAUGHTER)

- Get in there, boy! (LAUGHTER)

Can you find my ring, eh? Can you find my ring?

- I'm absolutely stoked you picked me. - Yeah?

- So, like, when I― When I first walked in, I was like, 'Oh, shit. She's definitely, like, abit of me.'

- Oh, really? - 100%. Like, if I was to say out of all three of you,

if anyone ticked, like, the boxes, it's definitely you.

- I know Sam's talking right now, but I actually can't even hear what he's saying

cos I'm just looking at how cute he is.

(DISTORTED SPEECH)

Yeah.

Do you know what your love language is?

- Physical touch and, um...

words of affirmation. - Oh, that's my top two. - LAUGHS: Oh.

- I'm actually really shocked with Sam right now.

I was expecting him just to be a pretty face,

but I'm actually surprised at how many things we have in common.

So you― You are looking for a girlfriend, then?

- Yeah, that'd be nice.

- Yeah? - Yeah. Preferably someone that looks like you.

- Oh. (SCOFFS) - (LAUGHS)

- Oh my God. All these pick-up lines.

- Hey, sorry, Sam. Mind if I pull Kita for a chat real quick?

- Yeah, mate. Go for it. - Sweet.

- OK. I'll catch up with you later. - See you later. Sweet as.

- OK, come sit down.

What's going on?

- Thought I'd just come here to save you from potentially going for fuck boy there.

I consider myself an Fboy.

(CHUCKLES)

Coco's out. She's my mate.

Kiera's out She's got all the guys gagging for her.

So Kita's who I'm gonna go for.

- What star sign are you? - Gemini.

- I don't get along with Gemini girls. So it'll be interesting to see if we get along.

- I think we'll get along. Yeah.

My strategy coming in here is get rid of the biggest competition and act like a nice guy.

All I see is 50 G's.

I only just found out what Sam did today.

Like, when we were talking, I asked him, and he said he was a pornstar.

(LAUGHS)

- Oh my God.

No. - Yeah.

- Oh, yuck.

See, I bloody knew it. I always pick the... mm.

- Fast game's a good game. Sorry, boys.

This shit's on like Donkey Kong.

- Party's on, boys.

- I'm stoked. Get in there, eh? I'm like, boys, watch out, eh? Let the sausage fly.

(WHISTLES, CHORTLES)

- What star sign are you? - I don't know―

Yeah, I'm a tradie, so... - (LAUGHS)

- We are exceptionally pretty boys.

It's like a pack of dogs tonight, to be honest.

Like, have you ever walked into a bar, and there's three birds and 20 geezers sitting in there?

- Mwah.

- But I'd probably walk back out again.

- Oh my God. OK.

- I'm sorry, but, like, is he in NSYNC or some shit? - (LAUGHS)

- Such stupid hair!

- Uh― Oh my God, I feel like there's a bug on me.

Sorry. Oh my God. I think it's in my dress.

- I would help, but I'm not gonna (LAUGHS) put my hand up your dress.

- LAUGHS: Crawling up my arse. - (LAUGHS)

- Crawl up in there. Like, it's fine. - He wants to date now.

- Hey, hey, hey, we don't do anal on the first date.

I have my eyes on Zac.

But, like, he is the biggest Fboy.

I mean, look at him!

Does that not scream Fboy?

Hoo!

- Didn't you slide into my DMs? - You slid into mine.

- Are you sure? - Yeah. No. OK, so we matched on Tinder first,

and then you slid into my DMs. - Oh, that's right.

- Oh, do you feel catfished yet? - Nah. You actually look better in person.

- Really? - Yeah.

- I hope you're not a douchebag. - Nah, I'm definitely not.

I feel like people will look at me and just assume that I'm and Fboy.

Like, I don't try to be.

I'm 27 now. Like, older than a few of the boys here.

Yeah. I'm not really, like, interested in going out and pulling and doing all that stuff anymore.

Like, I've settled down a lot.

- I didn't expect this. Like, he's not as shallow as I thought he was gonna be.

He's surprising me a lot, and I kind of like it.

(CHUCKLES)

- Hello, Nathan. - Hi. How you doing?

- Good. Come have a seat. - Thanks.

- Yeah. How are you? - I'm― I'm good. I'm better now.

Competition is super, super tough.

Everyone's super good looking.

Everyone's in much better shape than me. (LAUGHS)

I'm hoping with Kita, we're looking for the same thing.

- So tell me what you're looking for in a girlfriend.

- Blonde. - Mm-hm.

- Likes yellow dresses. - Oh, that sounds like me.

- Oh my gosh, it does! You're right. Pretty incredible. - Oh my God.

- Listen, that guy is coming for your girl, bro.

You look jealous, bro.

(SNICKERS)

- Are you ready for a dog as well as a boyfriend? - Yes. Definitely.

- Then you've definitely come to the right place. - Oh my God!

- Here's my little baby boy, Theo. - Oh, cute.

- And he would absolutely adore you.

- Bro, I think he's faking everything, eh.

He's just chatting some yarns.

Mate, these guys are git. They dress well.

They all seem like they know what they're doing.

These guys are the best of the best.

- I am vibing with Nathan right now,

but I just don't know if he's genuine or not.

- You're actually― you're beautiful, beautiful, by the way. - Thank you.

- Truly. I'm really happy you picked me.

- I'm worried it's just a little too good to be true that he's this nice to me.

(LAUGHTER)

- Did you― have you had a chat? - Uh...

I've been more kind of hanging out with the boys at the moment.

Have you talked to Kita?

What does she do?

Did anyone have any banter there, or what?

What's she like up close?

Yeah, it's a little bit hard. Everyone's kinda―

they're like bloody sharks around berley at the moment.

Old mate just swooped in.

- Listen, I thought you needed this. - Thank you so much. - Been a long day.

- I'm not really one to do that, so I'll just pick my time and then―

but hopefully I can do it before the elimination.

- So how did you get into― was it male entertainment? - Male entertaining.

Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. (CHUCKLES)

- But I can hear my dad right now just being like, 'What are you up to?' (LAUGHS)

- I hear my mum right now being, like, same thing.

So the first thing that always come up is the word 'red flag' when I go on a date.

And I can really, like, narrow down these red flags

and bring more positive on to my green flags, hopefully.

Dating within, like, male entertaining and stripping ―

it makes it hard. - Yeah.

- Cos people think you want one thing when you want the other. - Mm.

- I've been dancing for four years, and it would be nice to find someone to take me out of theindustry.

- Yeah, cool. - Yeah. - OK.

Could you show me a move?

Could you― Could you give me a wee, like, little taster?

(GIGGLES)

He starts, like, grinding on me, and all I think of is like, Dad's face...

(LAUGHS)

...watching like, 'What the... are you doing?'

(GASPS)

Oh my gosh!

- He's doing backflips again. This guy's crazy. - Oh my God.

- You have your own business? - Yeah.

- Wow. OK, so,...

brains as well. - Yeah.

Oh my gosh.

He's, like, sweatin'.

Like, really, really, sweatin'.

I don't know if he's terrified of me.

Do you have a tissue? I wanna wipe away your sweat.

You're, like, sweatin'. - Yeah, It's warm.

- Am I making you nervous?

- Um, a little bit nervous. I'm not gonna lie. - Really?

He is so sweet.

But I'm not getting enough from him.

I wanna know more about him.

- These guys are a lovely bunch of lads.

- Yeah.

- But pick me. - (CHUCKLES) - Again.

- Greg, I'm gonna figure you out.

One way or another, I'm gonna figure you out.

- We were talking, bro. Great chat, bro. Actually top tier chat.

- You caught my eye straightaway.

- Really? - Yeah.

- What is your usual type? - Tell you what, girl, look in a mirror.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Classic. - All the girls here are beautiful,

but you are definitely, like, my type. Yeah.

- Scribbling down me. - Just checklisting off.

Her eyes are so lovely.

You have to make eye contact the whole time.

I was just like...

(GROANS)

Keep talking.

I'm a free spirit.

And, like, the one for me is gonna be doing free-spirited things,

something crazy, adventurous, risky, challenging.

- William's my type, 100%.

His looks are really good, and his personality matches the looks as well.

So he's at the top of my list at the moment.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

(MEN WHOOP, WHISTLE)

- Yeah!

- When Coco walked out in that bikini, I lost my head, eh.

That bum's unreal. (CHUCKLES)

- See ya later. - Oh, OK.

- Come on, ladies.

- Sorry, I don't think I've introduced― I'm Ro, by the way. - Hi. Nice to meet you.

I'm Kiera. - Kiera, nice to meet you.

Illumination is coming up very soon.

I'm definitely very worried about that.

- Yeah, I'm gonna sit down, eh. If you don't mind. - Oh. No, you're all right.

- Yeah, go ahead, mate.

It's very difficult to get that time.

There's only a certain amount of time in the day.

- Everyone's like, swoop in. Like, no one cares.

You can't just, like, float.

- I'm really interested to see how things go.

(INTENSE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

(SERENE ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- Do you know why they call them avocados?

It stems from the word meaning testicles.

Whoa! Whoa! - Holy shit.

Here we have the wild Kaue in his natural habitat... - In his natural habitat.

- ...grabbing testicles.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Honey, I'm home!

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- Coco looking like a snack. (CHUCKLES)

- Oh, I see.

- Who's keen to go on some dates?

(ALL CHEER)

- Yeah, some dates!

- How are we? - Hello. Just waiting for you.

- Is there, like, anything you wanna do?

- Something like snorkelling or something would be insane. - Snorkelling would be dope, yeah.

- OK, well, since you wanna go snorkelling,

do you wanna come with me, get in the water? - Absolutely.

Love to come snorkelling with ya. - Great. OK. Let's go.

OK. See ya. - I'll see you guys shortly.

Definitely thought Nathan was my biggest competition, just cos he had longest chat.

So, yeah, fuckin' gobsmacked. (CHUCKLES)

- The boy that I was wanting to get to know a little bit more

was actually... Ross.

(INAUDIBLE)

- Cheers, boys.

- I've known Ross for five years.

- See ya, boys!

- I think I'd be so surprised if he was an Fboy.

I know he can't act for shit, so... (CHUCKLES)

- I feel like I want to get to know this person a little bit better

cos I feel like they need to open up a little bit more.

So I wanna take Greg on a date.

- It's my birthday! - Is it? - Uh-huh.

- I dunno, I feel like she's only really making eye contact with me, and then she picked Greg.

Feel like she's trying to keep me on my toes.

Treat 'em mean; keep 'em keen.

Challenge accepted, you know?

Gonna put in some work.

- Beautiful.

'Coco's the one that I've got my eye on.'

Even matches our colours. Look.

My game plan

is to come up with a game plan

very quickly.

- I feel like you're quite shy. You're a little bit reserved.

Is that, like, normally, like, your personality?

- Yeah. No, I definitely take time to warm up. For sure.

I'm pretty bad when it comes to, like, lying or faking.

So the fact that we're, like, you know, planted here

is a little bit― takes a little bit of getting used to.

- So you're like a slow burner, eh? - Yeah, I suppose so.

- Bit like a mushroom. You grow on people. (CHUCKLES)

- Yeah. I'm like a fungi. Yeah. - A fun― (LAUGHS)

- I'm afungi.Like, I swear I'm fun, but...

- I can just tell. We're talking.

He's a nice guy. Like, he's so, so nice.

I'm kind of getting butterflies.

- I love, like, looking after someone.

I believe in, like, equality, but I love being, um, 'chivalrious'.

Is that the word? 'Chivalrious'? I love...

'Chivalrish'. Chiv―

Chiv―

I love... the act of chivalry. (CHUCKLES)

- (GIGGLES)

It's really warm. You're actually really warm.

- You calling me hot? - Ah, OK. Flatter yourself, why don't ya?

- It's just really natural.

I feel like I've known her for ages, and it's been two days.

- (LAUGHS)

Oh, you gonna lei me now? - Yeah, I'm gonna lei you.

- I really, really wanna see where this goes with Greg.

Is Greg the nice guy I've been looking for?

Is he?

- I've got heaps of questions up my sleeve.

I picked Sam as my first date because he caught my eye

as soon as he walked in.

When we had our chat in the VIP section, it was quite serious.

So I'm hoping the snorkelling brings out more of, like, a funny side to both of us.

- # Bright lights in the distance.

# Nobody else but us.

# There's no place I'd rather be.

# You're everything I was missing.

# Now I can't get it off.

# Tell me what you did to me.

# Yesterday, I didn't know your name.

- It's definitely surreal. Like, it almost hasn't sunk in yet.

Like, I'm swimming on a tropical island with a beautiful girl.

Kita and I definitely have a really good connection just straight off the bat.

Really looking forward to seeing where it could potentially go.

- # I know there's no one like you.

- Sam did a handstand in the water.

And I just saw a lot of stuff that I probably shouldn't have seen yet.

CHUCKLES: I was like, whoa.

I thought there was a sea cucumber in there. (CHUCKLES)

- # I know there's no one like you. #

- I don't know if you've heard this, but one of the guys was like,

'Oh, yeah, Sam said he was a pornstar.' - Oh, Cooper. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm shocked that Cooper's even brought this up at all.

Firstly, who even does porn in New Zealand?

Like, that's just...

- Oh, so you know it was Cooper that said that? - Yeah, I know.

Cooper was asking everyone what they do.

I'm like, 'Oh, I'm a pornstar,' and we all just start laughing. - OK.

- 100% a joke, but obviously he thought he can use it as ammo. - Yeah.

- I can't believe Cooper's this desperate, like, straight off the bat.

That gives you a little bit of fuckin' insight. - Yeah.

No, that's so interesting. OK.

- He's obviously got a game plan in mind.

We'll see how it goes.

(FUNKY MUSIC)

- OK, so what rhymes with room?

- Um...

the bedroom. - You can't rhyme room with room. Come on, Kaue!

- Uh, spoon.

- Came up with a plan last night.

If I didn't get a date, I need something to do today.

What we ended up planning to do is write a jingle.

# Welcome to the tea room.

So that's where we're kind of ending up, right?

Now, The Tea Room is ― basically at the end of a long day,

you come back, and you brew some tea together.

We can just share and feel― feel held.

- BOTH: # Fboys or nice guys ―

# We are all good lads.

# So sit back, relax

# and enjoy this teabag.

- I think if Nathan went up on the chopping block and said he's an Fboy,

I don't know anything.

Every inch of his body, his bones just screams nice guy.

- # Welcome to the tea room. #

- Yeah.

- # I mean, you couldn't ask for a better location for a date today.

Yum! - I know.

- I'm not normally a seafood guy, but when in Rome...

- You don't like seafood? - Um...

I like fish, and I like oysters.

But I don't normally branch out much more than that. - Oh no.

LAUGHS: Brought you on a seafood date.

I think Ross is a nice guy because...

the fashion. Like, no Fboy's gonna dress like that.

Have you been in a relationship before?

- I've had one very serious relationship. - Yeah.

How long was that for? - It was only, like, a year and a half.

And then the final straw was over Christmas.

I had family I hadn't seen in four years come to New Zealand.

And so I was like, 'Hey, listen, I know that your family is huge at Christmas,'

'and I know you've been telling them all year that you're excited for me to hang out with youthis year

'at Christmas ― cos you asked last year, but I had to be with my family last Christmas―

'but, like, unfortunately, I can't do it this year.' - Yeah.

He's a super talkative guy.

Kind of find myself zoning out a little bit.

- I make a killer scrambled eggs. - Scrambled eggs?

- Yeah, it's mushrooms, chorizo,... - Yeah.

- ...tomato, spinach,

chives and basil pesto and maybe a dollop of creme fraiche if I've got it with a...

ECHOES: 'Half an avocado on the side.

'My go-to would be steak and potato though, if I'm honest.'

- Mm. - ECHOES: 'Yeah. Scalloped potatoes.

'Also, I don't have a sweet tooth or, like, anything.

'I'm not huge into chocolate or, like, sweets.' - Yeah.

- I'm having a fantastic time.

I'm in a beautiful beach with a beautiful girl.

Yeah, absolutely buzzing. I hope she feels the same way.

So, you know the Hubble Space Telescope?

- I'm― (CHUCKLES) I'm lost.

He was asking me about telescopes and stuff.

- And it took six months to get it to its location and cool down enough to, like,

not interfere with the light that it's collecting. - Yeah.

He's very sweet, but maybe a bit boring.

(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- So, how was your day?

- Yeah, it was Sam. Oh, it's so dangerous, guys.

We literally just got on like that.

Like, we just were, like, constantly talking.

Like, we just― We have that― - (GASPS)

- Like, we just― I know. We have that vibe.

I do like him, but... I've just gotta be careful, because I just don't wanna be tricked.

But then I also don't want to notgo for him.

You know what I mean?

CHUCKLES: So, he did a handstand...

in the water when he― he was wearing white shorts.

I could fully see everything.

- No! - And I was, like,

trying not to laugh. - Oh my God.

Would you say it's like...

pornstar big, like―? - I wouldn't say pornstar vibes, but it's, like― it's not bad.

- Ooh. - (GIGGLING)

- What about Greg? - Ahhhhhh!

Like, it's really, really hard to figure him out, you know? - Right.

- Like, he doesn't give it away really easy,

but then at the same time, like, he says such nice things ―

but not in a fuckboy way, either.

- Coco thinks that Greg's not an Fboy, but he 100% is.

I can tell from his, like, personality

and his look that he's an Fboy.

Just cos they're nice doesn't mean we should trust them, as well. - Yeah, I agree.

- Do you know what I mean? - But then at the same time, it's like...

you know, they're throwing us off, but it is still a game ―

you know, they could be, like, trying to play us... Yeah.

- ...and we don't know. - Yeah.

- And that's, like, so scary. - Yeah.

- Like, these could be, like, the world's best manipulators.

I mean― But we just don't know. - Yeah. We'll see tonight how it...

- Yeah, we will see how it plays out tonight. - Yeah, for sure.

- 100% the guys should be worried. They need to step their game up

if they're gonna be safe in this competition.

(DRAMATIC ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- # I'm gonna take you down, take you down

# like a cold-blooded killer. #

- Well, ladies, you've had the lay of the land now.

Vibing with anyone? - Yeah, definitely.

- Anyone given you the ick yet? - Maybe.

- Ooh! - (LAUGHTER)

- There are guys here who've screwed up in some ways ―

they either haven't talked to them or they've talked too much.

- They get the ick, you get the flick, which is why we're here. - (CHUCKLING)

Elimination.

Fboys,

have you done enough?

have you charmed the pants off our ladies?

And nice guys,

have you done enough,

or have you friend-zoned your way into helping her move into her next flat?

Because here on FBOY Island, we don't muck around.

Right now, three of you...

have gots to go.

- Fuck, I'm shitting myself. If it's me leaving,

I'm gonna be gutted, bro,

cos I'm gonna have custard pie all over my face, man.

No one wants to get pied first night, bro.

- Fboys and nice guys,

right now, three of you...

have gots to go.

- I should be OK. You know, I've talked to Kiera, and I felt like it went really well.

- Ladies, I'm going to ask you to nominate your bottom two.

Kita.

- Denny.

- I definitely needed to put in some more groundwork. It's not really surprising.

Didn't catch me off guard or anything. (CHUCKLES)

- Nathan.

- MAN WHISPERS: What the fuck?

- I'm surprised. I'm thinking, like, 'Ref, can you play that back?

'Cos I need a slo-mo replay to see where I went wrong.'

- Kiera, Maori Barbie ― you're up. - (CHUCKLES)

Dalton.

Samuel W.

- Coco. - SIGHS: Oh my gosh.

Ro.

Sorry.

- Definitely surprised. Uh, I know I didn't make that much of an impression,

but I definitely thought I'd made more of an impact than some of the other guys there.

- OK, boys, if your name was called, please take the line.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Time to find out why you're up here.

Kita. - Hi, Denny.

- CHUCKLES: Hello. - If I'm being honest,

I actually didn't know you were here until about a couple hours ago.

I don't even think we said hi to each other.

So I think if you wanna be here, you need to put in more effort ―

like, come have a chat.

- Yeah, I have been a bit quiet, bit slack.

I'm a pretty laid-back person.

But, yeah, I'll definitely come and have a chat to you if you keep me in.

- You think you're a slow burner? - Slow burner.

- Nathan...

we did have a date yesterday, and I did feel like it went well,

but thinking about it afterwards, I feel like you were just saying things that, like, I wanted to hear.

It just didn't come off as genuine.

I'm just not quite sure if you're actually here for the right reasons.

- (EXHALES) Boy, Honestly, I'm― I'm really shocked.

I thought our chat went really, really well.

It's really surprising to me that that came across as disingenuous.

I hope you keep me on, because I really did enjoy that hang

and I wanted to do it again. Yeah.

- OK. Kiera.

- Dalton, I feel like...

perhaps, maybe, you're playing a game,

and personally, I don't see myself being with a stripper in the future, so...

- I thought our chat went all right.

Um, I was nervous as fuck through it.

And you even asked me about, like, the future with my job ― I've been in it for four years, made my money;

like, I'm looking for someone to help me retire from that industry.

- Kiera, why Uncle Sam?

- I feel like potentially he hasn't made quite a connection with any of the girls just yet.

Just gotta remember, maybe, it's not a lads' holiday.

- For me personally, I'll always withdraw myself a little bit till I get to know the real person,

but I'd love the opportunity, you know, to show you the real me, so...

I'd love you to give me that shot, babe.

- Coco.

- Ro.

I felt that you've blended into the background a bit too much.

- I understand it's really hard to get to know all 20 of us in such a short amount of time,

but I think if you chose for me to stay, I think you'd realise

there's a lot more to me than meets the eye ― a lot of layers to unravel.

- It's the moment of truth.

Kita,

who are you gonna eliminate right now?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

- Nathan.

- Kiera.

- Dalton.

- WHISPERS: Oh my God. - EXHALES: Fuckin' hell.

- Coco.

- Ro.

- Boys whose name wasn't called ―

congratulations. - Oh, thank God.

- (LAUGHS) You can breathe now.

Congratulations. You are safe.

But don't get too complacent, all right?

Take a seat.

- Good job, man. - Pleasure.

- It's not normally my style to be so aggressive with it,

and I've realised now I need to be.

- We're all dying to know ― what did these boys come here as, yeah?

- Who are you really? - (MEN CHUCKLE)

- Hey, Kita, um, I apologise again. I'm not too sure what happened.

I came here as a nice guy.

- (EXHALES)

- Whoops. (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

- Dalton.

- I came here as an Fboy.

- (CHUCKLES) What did I say? - (LAUGHTER)

- Ohhhh! - What?!

- Never trust a stripper. - Oh!

- Come on, now. Come on.

- Ro-boy. - Coco, I know you work in marketing,

so maybe I should have marketed myself a little bit better ―

I came here as a nice guy. - Ohhhh...

Sorry.

- So you've eliminated two nice guys and one Fboy.

What do you ladies really want? - (GIGGLES)

- Nathan... - Mm-hm.

- Ro ―

nice guys.

Nice try.

Dalton ― Fboy...

Fbye.

See you later.

- We need to do better next time, because the ratio's (CHUCKLES) not looking too good for us now.

Now there's more Fboys than there is nice guys,

and that's not what we want.

- Oh, bro. - Oh, sorry, lad.

- Guess I'm not going with you guys. - I'll find you.

- I love you. - Have a good one, bro.

- Shot, big man.

(EXHALES)

How far away is this place?

- Cheers to being a nice guy. - Hey, at least we've still got each other.

- Amen. - Mm.

- CHUCKLES: Fuck.

(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

- Oh, fuck.

No.

(HIP-HOP MUSIC)

What the fuck is Limbro?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, hell, no.

(UPBEAT HIP-HOP MUSIC)

- # It's night. All right.

# You lookin' real good.

# Hold me tight ―

# oh, I wish you would.

# Da, da, da, da.

# Da, da, da, da.

# I like them boys.

# I like them boys. #
