Too Hot To Handle is Netflix's new show that promotes celibate relationships amongst it's sizzling hot cast. Arguably, the most notable relationship to arise from the show is between contestants Harry and Francesca.
Harry and Francesca initially hit it off when meeting for the first time on the show. Little did they know that they would be prohibited from sexual intercourse with one another. These rules were implemented in an effort to provide the contestants with a chance to build more meaningful connections. Furthermore, contestants that broke the rules subjected the entire group's prize fund to be reduced. But Harry and Francesca paid (literally) little mind to this.
While on the show, the couple not only was the first to commit a rule break but also committed the most infractions. All in all, Harry and Francesca cost the group a total of$29,000 in fines. But they also exhibited unprecedented toxicity within their relationship. After their initial rule break, AI regulator Lana fined the group $3,000. In order to save face, both Harry and Francesca shifted blame onto one another in front of the group. After witnessing more events along the lines of this, fans were shocked to see the couple end up winning a portion of the prize fund at the end of the show.
Frankly, Harry and Francesca did not deserve to win any money. They didn't follow the premise of the actual competition. Not only did they break the rules to no avail but they also showcased highlights such as when Francesca dated Kelz in an act of revenge towards Harry. Not to mention, at the end of the show when the couple was supposedly deeply in love, Francesca still went on a date with series bad boy Kori Sampson. But this wasn't the only oddity about the prize fund allocation.
The show's producers, in a liberal sense of judgement, decided to simply give all the remaining contestants money. This included four contestants with no relationships and two who were absolute newcomers late in the season. The disorganization of the writing process on the competitive aspect of the show was very apparent. In fact, the series seems to have focused more on it's aesthetic appeal if anything. The show was based in the high-end Casa Tau resort and it's contestants are 10/10 material. Suffice to say, Harry and Francesca may not deserve to win any money but, fans can't be too angry because neither did six other contestants. Hopefully, Too Hot To Handle addresses these issues if and when it returns for season 2.
