Pete Davidson

Yes, Pete's already got a Peacock show on the way. And no, “FGirl Island” doesn't exist yet. But what if the post-Kardashian tides carried this newly single ...

It sure seems like an FGirl Island is on the way—assuming, of course, that Warner Bros. Discovery doesn’t drop the ax on the show as it has so many HBO Max titles in the past week. I understand that for Davidson—a guy starring in his own summer slasher and an upcoming show based on his life co-starring the great Edie Falco—appearing as an accessory on a dating show populated mostly by influencers might feel like a step in the wrong direction. Last week, FBoy Island Season 2 ended with a shocking twist: When offered the surprise option to “choose themselves” and run off with the money, rather than split the cash prize with one of their finalists, one of the women chose to do so—and gleefully branded herself an “FGirl” in the process. Publicly, at least, his vibe recaptures the magic Breckin Meyer brought as the good-hearted stoner Travis in Clueless. The comedian’s popularity among women of Hollywood has already garnered premature comparisons to the infamous womanizer Warren Beatty, but really it just seems like these women love a guy who’s funny, knows how to listen, and always brings good weed on a date. But I will say that Davidson’s public image—the hot Nice Guy with, for lack of a better term, Big FBoy Energy—feels like a perfect spiritual match for the show, which just wrapped up a second season of tongue-in-cheek reality-TV perfection. Half the men are “Nice Guys” who’ve vowed to split the $100,000 cash prize with the women, should they be chosen; the other half, the “FBoys,” if selected as winners, can take all the money and run, should they choose to do so.
