‘FBoy Island’ is the greatest thing Nikki Glaser (and humanity) has ever done

She walks during her days on the Atlantis River FBoy IslandNikki Glaser can’t stop using the word “great.” A stay in the archipelago, which is teeming with cryptocurrencies whatever they may be, is “a great and wonderful life.” Comedy heavy production team “Awesome”. A trio of girls on top of the show? Also “great”. Hell, even the FBoys themselves can be pretty cool. Focus on Canbecause most of the time they screw up like Mark Zuckerberg on FBoy steroids.

Of course, it wouldn’t take long for the comedian to declare the HBO Max reality TV show “the greatest thing I’ve ever done.”

And she’s right. While Glaser has done many great things in her life (Rule RuPaul’s Drag RaceAnd the Alec Baldwin roasted at Comedy Centraland some hilarious specials, including a new show airing on HBO Max later this week), it’s easy to see why she’s calling for hosting FBoy Island The greatest thing I’ve ever done. This is because show is the greatest thing Anyone since when.

Certainly, Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. The Wright brothers discovered a method by which humans could fly. Shakespeare wrote all of those plays. But none of them coined the phrase “FBoy, F-BYE!” None of these men was wise enough to mix a dozen of the hottest men and dozens of nice boys together and scatter them among three charming young women. And they didn’t think about getting these guys to compete for $100,000 under strange romantic circumstances.

But FBoy Island It’s more than just a dating game. Loaded with many twists, FBoy Island It seems like a new competition with each new episode. (Players can return after being eliminated, if they escape purgatory “Limbro”. This season, an astonishing number of returning players come back into the game. There’s more, but we won’t spoil.) However, with a purposely hokey tone in each episode, watching FBoy Island It feels as foolish as watching your boyfriend, incredibly drunk, try to flirt with the most beautiful human on the planet.

Glaser likes the show to be fast-paced, and skip the boring guys to focus on characters who are toxic or overly ambitious instead.

“Our show says, ‘Yeah, you wouldn’t know these people. “We’re not going to waste our time acting like you should know about them,” Glaser says. “We’re recalling these real-life tropes that we’ve seen for decades, and that we’re all aware of. We’re not going to pretend this date went well. We’ll just tell you this date wasn’t good, and we’ll cut it short.”

It is said, you be We’ll see every second of FBoy locking himself up to cry in the bathroom, yelling at the camera crew to leave him alone. You’ll see a lot of FBoys spilling oil all over their etched bodies in transition shots. And Nikki Glaser and I can promise you that you’ll love every second.

Glaser compares the show to a zoo. Here’s her theory: If you put a male panda and a female panda in an enclosed space, they will naturally have sex. What you see in the zoo is, in fact, real panda sex – as opposed to staged sex, I guess? – but that’s only because they’re the only pandas in a 100-mile radius.

And just as you can’t control pandas, you can’t control FBoys either. And you can’t control girls who crave the love of their lives — or any other human being, for that matter. We are all animals, after all.

“Those people can’t be good actors,” Glaser says. “The trick is you get people on an island, you just hang out with guys they might like, and then you just talk to the producers about those guys, And they don’t have phones to do anything else. You will fall in love.”

Thanks to the reality of it all, Glaser also sees that she’s found herself a “shortcut” in the entertainment industry. On top of relaxing in a new paradise each season (Season 1 took place in the Cayman Islands; we’re now in Cabo San Lucas), Glaser also wasn’t busy completing restoration after restoration for the perfect shot. Fuck the Oscars!

“I don’t understand why anyone would do a script,” she says. Apart from a bunch of cameos in Amy Schumer movies like train wreck And the I feel beautifulFor the most part, I strayed from the written world. It takes a long time to learn the lines, [and] To then learn how to represent these lines, memorize the lines. If you are writing the offer, [you have to] Write lines, build combos, and wait for the cameras to change position. FBoy IslandAll you have to do is set it up and go. “

It might be easy Host The show, but at first, Glaser thought she’d actually be in a different seat: as one of the three leading ladies. When creator Elan Gale (former producer of BSC Franchise) Getting to the comic, Glaser assumed she would fight the FBoys herself, in the trenches with the other ladies.

Obviously she was wrong. Still, Glaser I thought what character she would be if she ended up checking 24 Men in the name of money.

“Maybe I’d convince myself I could turn F-Bowie,” Glaser says with a chuckle. “My strategy would be: I’m going to be involved a lot. I’m going to try to kiss as many boys as I can and have a lot of fun. My goal will be to find someone, and if it’s the last time I do that, I’m going to have a good time with all these sexy guys.”

But Glaser also admits that she may not be smart enough to handle FBoy. She was “looking for Garrett” until the end of Season 1, shocked by FBoy’s double betrayal of Sarah. “I couldn’t believe how much manipulation he was able to concoct, live on the spot, for this girl.” Sorry Nikki. Some of us saw it coming from a mile away.

Since she doesn’t have to worry about fending off the FBoys, Glaser doesn’t have to do much planning for her role on the show. It helps that she’s funny (duh), not afraid of her financially manipulative brethren, and ready to make up for anything right away. Hell, Albert Einstein’s genius-level farewell shows (“FBoy, f-bye!” and “Nice guy, nice try!”) were designed just an hour before the first episode was filmed.

“They didn’t give me a lot of feedback,” Glaser says. Then she corrects herself: “They didn’t give me Which Notes. They stepped back and said, “You know what you’re doing.” I didn’t know what I was doing! “

This must be a lie, because Glaser definitely acts like she knows what she’s doing. And she speaks with great conviction as she tells me about one of the show’s most exciting, cheesiest, and best parts – roasting from FBoys – and takes it seriously.

It turns out, if you don’t pit women against each other on purpose, it won’t, often.

“It’s very consensual for me. I don’t like roasting people unless they score,” she says. “Even so, a lot of them don’t have it.” Bombing in front of the trashy guy – that’s just part of the job.

Fortunately, a few men returning to the cast (we won’t spoil who!) made Glaser’s life a little easier. The fan-favourite, knocked out early, returns as does one runner-up and one winner. In season one, the three were FBoys. Is Glaser ready for the problem? No, “I was moved when these guys were picked again,” she says, unafraid of the drama. “I have a lot of things [redacted returning FBoy] Than I have with any of these people.”

After watching the first episode of season two, you might have a guess as to who the revised FBoy Return might be — and it might just get you more excited to keep watching.

But while the FBoys are the show’s stars, and Nikki Glaser serves as host with most of them, the show’s real heroes are always the leading ladies. Somehow, even though they all go after the same group of men, every woman falls in love with a different man. “It wasn’t manufactured,” Glaser asserts. “It turns out, if you don’t pit women against each other on purpose, it won’t happen, very often.”

This is a game changer. despite of FBoy Island Full of joyous delights, you won’t be dismayed after watching several episodes in a row – because the show Actually respect Women put them in the center. It’s like eating a really good Caesar salad with lots of sauce and Parmesan cheese: comfort food, sure, but healthy. Somewhat healthy.

While watching reality shows, viewers are not always trained to respect the woman who leads the show. Viewers are quick to punish dating show contestants, especially women, for their inappropriate mate choices — even though they haven’t (and will) Start) tread on a realistic dating series.

“I implore everyone to be nice to them [the three leading ladies] Online. It’s really sweet,” she says, an appeal to people who will inevitably plaster every hilarious moment all over social media. They have all this pressure on them. I’ve had a lot of respect for them, for being young and secure enough with themselves to put themselves in a position to be judged. harshly upon them.”

“I’ve seen a lot of myself in these situations,” Glaser says. “Not even my younger self, my present self, as I see these girls fall in love with the men I absolutely love.”

So, maybe this season is led by Nikki Glaser FBoy Island Not very far, after all? With so many twists and turns lurking behind every corner of the reality series, don’t rule them out completely just yet.
