Wasn't Worth the Effort and Time
The only thing that drew me to this reality show was the constant buzz on our website. Readers have constantly flocking to the “Season One Review”, maybe in the hopes that they might find something connected to the sequel. I wanted to know what all this buzz was about. Even though, our team member who reviewed Season One warned me against it, I still decided to give this show a chance. Presumably, I was surprised but also disappointed. While the show doesn’t dare to draw comparison to the recently concluded popular dating shows like “His Man”, “Sparks Camp” or even “The Boyfriend”, it is definitely missing the uniqueness that would set it apart from them. Hosted by Vinci Wong, who is also the producer of “Boyscation Too”, this LGBTQ+ dating reality show is set against the stunning backdrop of Bali and features a diverse cast of participants from Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.Read the complete article here-

a m/m reality dating series with a goal/message
Overall: I think this improved on the first season (which was spread out over a few months). 20 episodes about 25 minutes each. Aired (free to watch) on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4786/boyscation-too-2024-e01 and YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdXIknoSRTzuXCiH2eohX0CKbhki0h9Of&si=5uf86CF1tLF2qAxFNote: When watching "reality" series, I always keep in mind that producers might tell the guys what to do/say and that editing can be extremely misleading (not showing things, change the order, etc). This production/emcee appears more involved in Boyscation but that doesn't mean the other dating series productions weren't involved/manipulated things. My goals were that the guys have some fun and being on the show helped (or at least doesn't hurt them) in their personal and professional lives.
What I Liked
- the family/friends and message of the final episode
- that they followed the pairs that matched when they were back in Hong Kong (though it dragged on a bit too long)
- highlighted non profit organizations at the end of some episodes
- that on the first vote they could vote for up to 3 people & they showed a graphic of the vote givers/getters
- nametags in the beginning
- questions about their habits game was likely useful for the guys to think about compatibility
- released 5 episodes each week
Room For Improvement
- that the first game was touching people while being blindfolded
- the roommate choosing should not have been totally random
- that the mutual matches ate breakfast right in front of everyone
- some of the announcements of matches/who people liked/didn't like was a little too brutal
