Netflix has is back with its most bizarre dating show, Too Hot to Handle, releasing their cast for season three, which is expected to drop on January 19.
With the second and third seasons of the show filmed back-to-back, we’re expecting a return to the stunning Turks and Caicos Islands for a bout of escapism.
The bizarre dating show, which first aired in April, 2020, sees a number of hot, horny singles head into a villa for four weeks, but they’re banned from kissing, sexual contact or any self-gratification.
Watched by a cone-shaped AI overlord named Lana, the group of 10 are entitled to $100,000 in prize money after completing the show, but money is deducted each time they break the rules.
The premise, we suppose, is to teach the group – who are not only categorised by their hotness, but an inability to commit – that connections can be deeper than physical attraction.
And we’re under the impression that – maybe – it works? Last season’s Cam Holmes and Emily Miller established a relationship when filming ended, and have been together ever since, celebrating their first anniversary in December 2021.
While it’s not an excellent hit rate, it’s rare that a reality TV show leads to relationship success, so we’ll take it.
While we were as surprised as the cast in the first season when it came to Lana’s rules, the second season crew seemed pretty shocked too. While we’re sure they haven’t changed for season three, we’re dying to find out how this new group will fare, and if any lasting connections will be made.
Here are the new sexy singles!
Beaux Raymond
“I’m not a romantic at all, I’m happy with a date at KFC to be fair,” reads the provided quote for Beaux, a 24-year-old legal secretary from Kent. She describes herself as a ‘cockney Elle Woods’, a vibe we can definitely get behind.
Georgia Hassarati
Hello Aussie! Georgia is a 26-year-old student midwife from Brisbane, and the first Australian to appear on the show since season one’s Harry Jowsey. “I flirt with anything and anyone, I love a little snog,” her given quote reads.
Harry Johnson
“I’ve kissed a lot of frogs to find a princess,” Harry tells us, and we wonder if that means he found the one on Too Hot To Handle? Harry is 29, hails from the UK, and is reportedly a tree surgeon. We’re looking forward to finding out exactly what that is.
Holly Scarfone
Holly says they call her ‘Hurricane Holly’ for a reason. The Canadian model apparently “finds relationships boring and isn’t looking to settle down any time”.
Izzy Fairthorne
British babe Izzy claims she’s a “player on and off the hockey pitch”. A 22-year-old personal trainer from Manchester, England, it seems like Izzy has come to play.
Jazlyn Holloway
At just 25, Jaz is already a fashion designer, entrepreneur and model – business acumen that we love to see! Describing herself as a “sucker for a bad boy” and more of a ‘situationship’ than ‘relationship’ girl, it seems she’ll have her career sorted long before her romantic life.
Nathan Soan Mngomezulu
Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, and referring to himself as ‘an international playboy’, we’re sure Nathan is here to cause trouble in the villa.
Patrick Mullen
“If you’re a bee and you’re just right, you’ll get the sweet honey, baby,” says Patrick, a 29-year-old model and actor from Hawaii. And you bet he’s also 6”5’ and plays the guitar.
Stevan Ditter
“I’m definitely a wild one, I like to break all the rules,” says Stevan. This clearly applies to his name, which was apparently created when his mum wanted to name him Steve and his dad wanted to call him Evan. We stan, Stevan.
Truth
We’re unsure of Truth’s last name, so we’re secretly hoping he’ll adopt a one-name moniker, a la Cher or Madonna. A 23-year-old criminology student with a basketball scholarship, Truth seems like a man of many hats.
