FBOY Island Australia star Caleb Duncan has revealed he was almost cast on The Bachelor Australia, and all we can say is thank GOD they went in a different direction.
The 31-year-old American personal trainer has made quite the name for himself on Binge’s new dating series. Mainly, for suggesting one of the leading ladies was cheated on because she had “bad p*ssy”.
After being dumped from the show after being confirmed as an “FBoy”, Caleb has confessed FBOY Island wasn’t his first pick of reality shows.
Chatting to Yahoo! Lifestyle after his elimination, he said he was up for a spot on the 10th season of The Bachelor.
“I was going for The Bachelor last year and I was like, top seven finalists for The Bachelor, something like that when it was all said and done,” he said.
He recalled that he underwent multiple interviews and psych assessments for the Channel 10 show, which ultimately starred Jed McIntosh, Felix Von Hofe and Thomas Malucelli.
It was after he lost out on a leading role that Warner Bros. contacted him about FBOY Island.
“They gave me a call, they were like, ‘Caleb, we’ve got a show called FBoy Island, you’ll be perfect for it’, and I hung up,” he dished.
Apparently, he wasn’t keen on the show because he’s “not an FBoy”. Mate, anyone who’s seen the show would beg to differ…
Caleb Duncan reveals his strategy for FBOY Island Australia
Caleb — who most definitely is an FBoy — then went on to explain his strategy for FBoy Island.
FYI: Should the leading ladies ultimately pick a “Nice Guy”, the couple would split $50k prize money. If they chose an “FBoy”, the guy could decide whether he keeps the cash for himself or share it.
The American said he based his “performance” on Garrett Morosky, who won the first season of the US franchise as an FBoy.
“Going into the show I was like, my story has to be the same for each girl, I’m gonna play them, and I’m gonna let people from home be mad at me for playing them like that,” Caleb explained.
“Because if I were the people at home, I’d be like, ‘Get him out of there!’. But it makes for people to really get emotionally involved with my character. And if you weren’t emotionally involved with my character, I didn’t do my job.”
Caleb Duncan reveals what he would’ve done with the prize money on FBOY Island
While the $50,000 was the reason he signed onto FBoy Island, Caleb said he wouldn’t have kept it for himself.
“Honestly, the cheeky me, the ego in me says take the money. But to flip it… I would’ve split the money with [Ziara Rae],” he dished.
“She worked hard for what she’s doing, and I just wanted to show some love.”
Forgive us, Caleb, if we don’t buy that for a second…
The revelation comes after So Dramatic! revealed that Caleb’s co-star Justin McNairn was investigated for domestic violence in Estonia.
