Would you risk losing thousands of dollars for a passionate moment with an attractive stranger? That’s the premise of Netflix’s reality dating show “Too Hot To Handle.” The show brings together a group of objectively attractive singles on an island, luring them into thinking it’s a carefree summer party. However, there’s a twist – they are under constant surveillance by a cone-shaped robot named Lana, who charges them money for every rule they break. The more intimate the act, the higher the cost. At the end of the season, the remaining money goes to the two cast members who have shown the most personal growth. Let’s take a look at the top 5 rule breakers across the first four seasons.
Izzy Fairthorne Spent $37K During Season 3 In Season 3, when the prize pool doubled from $100,000 to $200,000, Izzy Fairthorne took the opportunity to splurge. She broke the rules with her friend Georgia Hassarati, costing $3,000. Next, she and Robert ‘Truth’ DuVaun spent $6,000 on a kiss. Jackson Mawhinney joined late in the season and quickly connected with Izzy, resulting in $22,000 in rule breaks. Before the season ended, they cost the group another $6,000, bringing Izzy’s total to $37,000.
Nick Kici Drained the Prize Pool of $41K Nick Kici incurred a hefty fine of $41,000, all with one person – Jawahir Khalifa. Their first kiss cost $3,000, and Lana doubled all subsequent fines. A night of heavy petting cost them $32,000, and the next morning, they kissed again, incurring another $6,000 penalty.
Jawahir Khalifa Racked Up $44k in Rule Breaks Having eyes mostly for Nick, Jawahir Khalifa’s rule breaks closely followed those of Nick. She and Seb Melrose shared a $3,000 kiss, and after getting to know Nick, they shared another $3,000 kiss. Their lustful night and morning cost a combined $38,000, bringing Jawahir’s total to $44,000 during Season 4.
Kayla Richart and Seb Melrose are Tied for Second Place Kayla Richart and Seb Melrose cost the group a total of $71,000. They shared a $3,000 kiss with different partners at the same time. Seb and Kayla then shared a $6,000 kiss, and their intimate moments in the shower resulted in a $12,000 penalty. Later, they were fined $50,000 for going all the way together while showering.
Holly Scarfone and Nathan Soan Together Had the Most Rule-Breaks In History The biggest offenders in the show’s history were Holly Scarfone and Nathan Soan, who cost Season 3 a staggering $141,000. Their unbridled passion led to a $30,000 penalty for kissing in one evening, and an attempt to outsmart Lana with a kiss using shorts cost them another $6,000. A test that could earn the group money back failed, resulting in a $57,000 penalty. Despite their trustworthiness being questioned, they were given a night in the suite together where they went all the way and cost the group $36,000, depleting the prize pool.
Season 5 Airing on Netflix Season 5 of “Too Hot To Handle” is currently airing on Netflix. Will this season’s contestants break even more rules and outdo Holly and Nathan’s record-breaking rule-breaking? Only time will tell.
