Francesca Farago might have been the queen of season 1, but Georgia Hassarati is taking over her throne as she appears on Too Hot To Handle season 3. Netflix released season 3 of its hit dating competition series on January 19. Since then, viewers have been in agreement that Australian beauty Georgia is following in the footsteps of Canadian bombshell Francesca when it comes to being the it-girl of Too Hot To Handle.
Too Hot To Handle became a big hit when it premiered on Netflix in 2020. The show challenges a group of attractive singles to abstain from physical contact in order to build deeper connections. All intimate rule-breaking deducts money from the prize fund, but many contestants prefer to break the rules than to win big. Each season has seen a female cast member rising quickly in popularity. Francesca currently boasts almost 6 million Instagram followers, while season 2 standout Emily Miller won the heart of her boyfriend Cam Holmes and grew to 2 million followers. Though Georgia has yet to reach the fame of past show it-girls, she shares many traits that hint at her being a thriving influencer.
Both Francesca and Georgia immediately shook up their respective seasons of Too Hot To Handle, as the majority of men were interested in capturing their hearts. Not only were Georgia and Francesca incredibly popular with the men in the house, but both the Canadian and the Australian reality TV stars had prior Instagram followings. Francesca was already building up her social media profile before appearing on the Netflix show, while Georgia already had 60,000 Instagram followers prior to filming. Both Francesca and Georgia had the it-factor that drew people to them and established them as successful reality TV contestants and online influencers.
In addition to their popularity, the two women share the same confidence and mischievous nature. Georgia and Francesca prefer to shake things up and break the rules despite who they might anger. Francesca memorably made out with her housemate Haley Cureton, while Georgia made the same move with her friend Izzy Fairthorne. Francesca and Georgia showed that they were primarily focused on having fun and causing controversy, following a rule-breaking strategy over thinking about the house as a whole. This makes both Francesca and Georgia good fits for reality TV as they know how to playfully stir up drama. It also contributes to their overall popularity with viewers.
Overall, Francesca and Georgia share many similarities after their Too Hot To Handle stints. Georgia might only have a fraction of Francesca’s online presence, but she is expected to see her followers continue to climb as more people tune into season 3. Since Francesca and Emily have maintained their followings and profited off of their newfound fame, it’s safe to say that Georgia is on her way to becoming a thriving influencer thanks to Too Hot To Handle.
