Season 2 of The Floor Is Lava was released by Netflix on June 3rd, and while the obstacles have changed, the 100,000 gallons of fake lava haven't. The first season of the show was a smash, hitting nostalgic gold by combining elements of Wipeout with the childhood game of furniture hopping.
This season, the show upped the ante in a big way, with celebrity contestants and a second obstacle course featuring a giant erupting volcano. While they might not be as recognizable when covered in orange goo, there's no doubt that fans will eventually be able to pinpoint who these stars are and why they look so familiar.

Recruited by Christina Aguilera on season 2 of The Voice, Chris Mann made it all the way to the finale and came in 4th place. While the first season of The Floor Is Lava was being released in 2020, Mann was busy producing viral song parodies about parenting during the Coronovirus pandemic (via Today).
His sons have also inspired his The Floor Is Lava team, the Bad DADitudes, where he is joined by two other father figures in the first episode.
Harry Jowsey (Team Too Hot)
Too Hot To Handle Season 1
Competing to see if he really does have game, notorious playboy Harry Jowsey appears in the celebrity episode of The Floor is Lava. The Australian model became a well-known name in the tabloids after winning season 1 of Too Hot To Handle. He currently has 4.4 million Instagram followers and hosts a podcast on Youtube.
Up to now, it appears that Jowsey is off to a good start as several clips have shown that the former Too Hot To Handle contestant isn't afraid to let his competitive spirit out. Whether they go all the way is yet to be determined, but if he keeps this determination up, Team Too Hot are in with a chance.

While he is still very active on social media, Holder recently turned his attention to starting a music career, releasing his single "I Hope" on the 8th of June. He wasn't on Too Hot To Handle like Chase and Harry but Holder is still a perfect addition to the 'bad boys' of team Too Hot.

Back for redemption, the identical triplets return for a chance at 10,000 dollars and the coveted 'floor is lava lamp.' The homegrown stars of the franchise won the hearts of viewers with their self-deprecating humor and awful run at the basement obstacle course in season 1 of the show.
