Nice try, CW.
Season 3 of FBoy Island debuted on Monday, and another trio of women are setting out to find the Nice Guy in a sea of “manipulative douche-baggery,” as host Nikki Glaser so eloquently put it. But, audiences don’t appear to be taking note.
The reality format, which was scooped up by The CW after being canceled at Max following the first two seasons, aired to pretty abysmal ratings during primetime.
An average of about 158,000 people tuned in across the two-hour premiere, which also flatlined with a 0.02 rating among adults 18-49, according to live+same-day Nielsen data.
It’s not exactly a surprise that FBoy Island isn’t starting off as a hit for the network, whose parent company Nexstar has repeatedly stressed that the average CW viewer is 58 years old — which was also used partially as the justification for canceling nearly all of its young adult-focused scripted series last year.
The CW also isn’t necessarily known for dominating broadcast, especially as linear TV viewership continues to dwindle across the board. However, these ratings are still pretty low even for The CW. For context, All American (one of the network’s last remaining scripted series) put up an average of close to 500,000 viewers per episode for Season 5.
On the unscripted front, Whose Line Is It Anyway? also managed about half a million viewers throughout its Season 19 run. Season 9 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us did even better, pulling almost 700,000 viewers out of its hat.
Ratings for the original run of the first two seasons of FBoy Island are hard to come by, since they debuted strictly on streaming. All HBO said at the time of its Season 2 renewal was that it had put up consistent week-over-week audience growth.
