FBoy Island season 3: Where you know Katie Thurston from (dating show history)

Finding love might be easy for some people, but for others it can be a challenge. And it seems like on of the FBoy Island season 3 leading ladies, Katie Thurston, is in the latter category. Of course there’s nothing wrong with that! Finding the one who’s your perfect match is difficult. But you should never give up, and that’s exactly what Katie is doing. So why does she look so familiar to you reality TV fans?

Katie Thurston was a contestant on The Bachelor season 25 in 2021, as well as the bachelorette herself on The Bachelorette season 17 in June later that year. On Matt James’ season, she came in 11th place and was a fan-favorite overall. In the ABC show she headlined herself, Katie chose Blake Moynes by the end of the season. However in October 2021, the couple split up. She then started daring John Hersey, who was sent home in week 2 of season 17. But the two called it quits in June 2022.

The 32-year-old is from Lynnwood, Washington and worked as a bank marketing manager before her debut in the reality television world. Today, she’s known for being a TV personality, as well as her passion for comedy. Katie is currently doing stand-up comedy shows as well! Along with FBoy Island season 3, you can also catch her on this season’s Bachelor in Paradise, where she reunited with Moynes for the first time. This lovely lady is definitely staying busy!

Katie Thurston searches for love once again on FBoy Island season 3

In case you didn’t know, FBoy Island is no longer on Max and is going to air the third season on The CW. Following its cancelation on the streaming service, the series was shopped around and has now landed on the television network. FBoy Island season 3 premieres with two episodes Monday, Oct. 16, 2023 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW. New episodes air weekly and are available to stream the next day on the company’s website, with ads.

Katie, as well as the other two gals hoping to find love, will have to work hard to figure out which of the 21 guys competing are there to win their hearts, and which ones are in it for the $100,000 cash prize. It’s the Fboys vs the Nice Guys. Who’s going to win? And more importantly, will these three lovely ladies be able to find the one? After so many tries, I’m definitely rooting for Katie and hope she finds the love she’s looking for.

Joining Katie in their search for love is 28-year-old model Hali Okeowo and 33-year-old lifestyle influencer Daniella Grace. Plus when The CW picked up the show for a third season, the network also ordered FGirl Island, which will twist things around and see a trio of guys have to find out who from the women have genuine motives. The spin-off is set to debut in the midseason schedule, which would be sometime between January and March 2024, per Deadline. I’m definitely looking forward to the new show! What about you?

FBoy Island season 3 premieres Monday, Oct. 16, 2023 at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, followed by episode 2 at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes are available to stream the next day on The CW.
