Abbie Chatfield says her new series FBoy Island is a ‘feminist’ dating show where ‘women are in control’
Abbie Chatfield has branched out further into the realm of reality TV dating with a concert featuring Binge’s new series, FBoy Island.
With filming wrapped on the cheeky match-up show, the 27-year-old media personality revealed some thoughts on the series to the daily telegraph Thursday.
She said that despite the premise of ‘ladies’ trying to convince the leads that they are not ‘FBoys’, the show is actually a ‘feminist’ piece of humor.
“We’re not The Bachelor or Love Island, and we’re not claiming to be a political documentary about feminism,” Chatfield said.
“But as far as reality TV and the scope of that goes, it’s pretty feminist in that we call out the FBoys constantly and the women are in control.”
27-year-old Abbie Chatfield (pictured) has stepped even further into the reality dating realm with a gig as the host of Binge’s new series, FBoy Island.
She continued: ‘We do it in a humorous way and we don’t intend to be a serious show. Everyone knows what they’re getting themselves into. It’s like we’re all in on the joke.
Chatfield went on to say that the series is intended to “bring to light” the “bad behavior” of the Fboys.
“The whole point of the show is that when people do things that are a little overcooked, I call them in real time,” he said.
With filming wrapped up on the cheeky match-up show, the media personality revealed some thoughts on the series to The Daily Telegraph on Thursday.
It comes after Chatfield was questioned by several fans who called out the show for needing to include more body size after a question on the app asked for contestants’ weights.
While the new host encouraged plus-size women to apply to the show, more impactful questions from the application form came to light.
As her Instagram followers flocked to apply, some were surprised to find that they were asked to detail how many people they had slept with.
The radio host agreed that it’s an inappropriate question, but couldn’t explain why it was there, saying he didn’t have the “power” to change it.
She said that despite the premise that ‘womanizers’ try to convince the female leads that they are not ‘FBoys’, the show is actually a ‘feminist’ piece of humor.
