FBoy Island Australia Season 2 just dropped its biggest bombshell ever, with bartender-turned-intruder Nathan Giastis revealing to Nicole Mitrov that he’s not only an FBoy — he’s gay too.
During Episode 5 on the BINGE reality show, host Abbie Chatfield showed the women the FBoy Island men‘s social media profiles.
A video of Nathan with a rainbow flag raised some questions for the ladies, leading Nathan to reveal his true sexuality during a one-on-one date with Nicole.
Why did Nathan Giastis go on FBoy Island Australia if he’s gay?
In an exclusive chat with Chattr, Nathan explained how he ended up on a primarily straight dating show and what was in it for him.
“I didn’t apply and it wasn’t really at the forefront of my head to apply for a straight dating show when I’m gay,” Nathan laughed.
He went on to say that going on FBoy Island Australia Season 2 was an opportunity for him.
“I’m not open on social media, on Instagram especially, about my sexuality,” Nathan explained to Chattr.
“So if it did come about, it was a big relief for me if it did. I’m not saying it would’ve.”
“I’m there obviously not for the right reasons but I was asked to be a part of this show obviously just to cause a bit of drama, a bit of controversy,” Nathan told Chattr.
“I’m not there to hurt anyone. I’m definitely not a horrible person at all.”
Did Nathan tell anyone on FBoy Island that he’s gay ?
“No one knew at all,” Nathan told Chattr.
“Playing one role but playing two roles as well was a big effort — especially hiding it from all the boys too. No one had any interlink that I was gay.”
Nathan explained that he also had to be careful when talking about past relationships.
“It was always ‘she’ or ‘they’,” Nathan recalled. “No one really picked up on it which was good.”
He went on to say that he was very careful and spoke slowly in order to not trip up.
How Nathan ended up as the FBoy Island mole
While Nathan initially told Nicole he was straight when she first questioned him about his sexuality, he eventually came clean during a one-on-one. So why then?
“Nicole is such an amazing girl, on camera and off camera. I wasn’t going to do anything to hurt her or her feelings,” Nathan explained.
“It’s a dating show and things can potentially happen. You don’t know whatever way it twists and turns but respecting her was my biggest thing, and the other girls as well,” he continued.
“The way it came out was a bit better than I expected.”
“I think I had all that pressure of lying to her face,” Nathan recalled, noting that there was another opportunity in which he was honest but still got to stay on the show.
At the end of Episode 5, it was revealed that Nicole kept Nathan on the island after he suggested he go undercover as a mole for the leading ladies — telling them what the boys are saying and up to.
“Helping the girls was the biggest thing I could get off the show,” Nathan said. “If they could walk off the show with love that would honestly make me so happy.”
Nathan admitted to Chattr that his backup idea of being the mole was in his “back pocket” ready to go but that he wasn’t aware he’d get found out so early on.
“I’m sure everyone had their own gameplay. You don’t know what to expect on this show so having a backup was a big thing.”
You can catch Nathan in the finale of FBoy Island Australia.
