Season 3 of Netflix's mega-popular reality dating show Too Hot To Handle provided no shortage of highly entertaining cast members. While two of the ten original contestants were eliminated halfway through the season, their departures gave way to new arrivals who did their best to stand out, play the game, and find true love. Others took their fate into their own hands and simply left the show on prematurely.
From lovable lotharios like Holly and Nathan to model citizens Harry and Beaux to the wildly entertaining personality of Patrick and Stevan, Too Hot To Handle season 3 delivered an amusing cast of characters.
Truth
Truth be told, the brash Texan native and skilled basketball player shot to score way too often on the show. Real name Robert, Truth made no secrets about his desire to have as much no-strings-attached sex as possible. When he learned that Paradise Island was all a celibate ruse, Truth lived up to his name by flat out admitting to Harry that he had zero interest in making a genuine connection. That has to be a series first.
Yet somehow, Truth still came off as one of the coolest, smoothest, and funniest cast members in the history of the beloved Netflix reality dating show. Whether speaking in the third person or stirring up a love triangle with Izzy and Jaz, Truth's honest intentions made give him an authenticity most others failed to live up to.
Brianna
Aside from her highly attractive and bubbly personality, Brianna immediately made her presence felt when she crashed the party in the middle of the season. Self-described as "classy and sassy," Brianna instantly went after Nathan despite his clear attachment to Holly.
When Nathan resisted Brianna's advances during a nighttime beach date, Brianna wisely respected his wishes and apologized to Holly for being insensitive. Still, Brianna was no pushover and remained confident. When she subsequently paired up with Obi, Brianna felt far more comfortable being herself and letting her hair down. Who knows, had she joined the villa earlier, she and Nathan might have had a better chance.
Olga
Few cast members had as much zany energy or as wild a personality as Olga, the hilarious Surrey, England native who entered the villa on episode 3. Fiery as can be, Olga tried to steal Nathan from Holly before setting her sights on resident bad-boy Stevan.
Never afraid to speak her mind candidly or at a breakneck pace, Olga ultimately became less interested in Stevan when she met new boy Jackson. However, when Jackson chose Izzy instead, Olga's hilarious confessional about not wanting to crawl back to Stevan with her tail between her legs was one of the more amusing moments in the season.
Holly
Holly spent most of the season in one of two modes. She was either callously breaking rules with Nathan or grieving over the prospect he would leave her for another girl. However, at no point were her true feeling for Nathan in question.
Loyal, loving, and loaded with glamorous star power, Holly (along with Nathan) was the de facto lead character of the season, with most of the drama and airtime dedicated to their complicated coupledom. Despite breaking Lana's celibacy rules to the tune of over $100,000, Holly never once wavered in her dedication to Nathan and redeemed herself at the end by obeying the rules in the overnight suite, which replenished $90,000 back into the reward till.
Stevan
Other than perhaps Patrick, Stevan was the overall funniest cast member during season 3. Armed with some of the most caustic quotes like "Lana has an STD" and countless others, the self-described bad-boy's hardened image ended up cracking by season's end.
Blunt as can be and unafraid of confrontations, Stevan had some of the most painfully awkward exchanges on the show. His time coupled up with both Georgia and Olga flamed out when they shared a bed with him and got to know his true personality, reducing the tattooed tough guy into a puddle of tears by the end. Way more emotional than he initially let on, the revelation of Stevan's true colors was a true joy to behold.
Patrick
If he hadn't walked out on his own by episode 8, Patrick might have been the best cast member in the Netflix's show history. The towering Hawaiian gentleman was the spiritual guide of the entire household. He imparted wisdom, he recited majestic poetry, he serenaded Georgia in the most awkward moment of the season, he crooned to Lana in the bathtub, and he even led his own yoga meditation retreat.
Alas, the one thing Patrick didn't do is find any semblance of romance in the villa. He tried courting Georgia through a song but it backfired ingloriously. Seemingly out of place compared to the others, Patrick never seemed like someone interested in Paradise Island, making him a genuine fit for THTH as someone looking for a true connection. When he realized such, he simply up and left on his own accord.
Georgia
By far the most popular THTH contestant followed on Instagram, Georgia was also the most sought-after single to being the show. Nathan, Patrick, Stevan, and Harry all voiced interest in the Australian native, but her fear of commitment prevented earnest intimacy.
Despite ditching both Stevan and Jackson at the first sign of being clingy, Georgia was voted as a top-three finalist due to her ability to abide by the rules (for the most part). Whether or not her intentions were true, there's no denying how much time Georgia spent as the center of attention from her suitors and the producers alike.
Nathan
Along with Holly, Nathan was essentially the main character of THTH season 3. The silky-smooth South African lothario was the object of every woman's desire from day one, doing his best to avoid sexual temptation out of mutual love and respect for Holly.
Although Nathan denied the advances of Olga and Brianna to remain with Holly, the two couldn't keep their hands off each other and repeatedly broke Lana's no-contact rules. After costing the house more than $100,000, Nathan went on a grueling one-on-one workshop with a spiritual shaman to avoid eviction. When he returned to the house, Nathan showed how much he grew and learned by obeying Lana's rules in the suite and reimbursing $90,000 back into the reward pool. As such, Nathan finished as one of three finalists.
Harry
Outside of a $4,000 instance of self-gratification in the shower, Harry was an absolute gentleman the entire season of the drama-filled Netflix reality show. Following the rules to a T, Harry did exactly what the game expects of players. He refrained from physical activity in order to forge a meaningful emotional bond with his partner, Beaux.
Aside from the chivalry, Harry did one better by overcoming his crippling fear of commitment and mustered the courage to ask Beaux to be his official girlfriend outside of the villa. As such, Harry and Beaux rightly won the $90,000 reward.
Beaux
Everything that was said about Harry can be equally applied to Beaux, except for the fact that she never broke a single rule during her time in the villa. Her easygoing attitude allowed for her relationship with Harry to blossom naturally and in an unforced manner, leading to ultimate victorious bliss by the season finale.
Beaux set her sights on Harry on day one and never let her lusty feelings lead her astray. Moreover, there was not a single negative dramatic moment Beaux was a part of during the season. She played the game as perfectly as can could and was afforded twice the award for her efforts. She found true love and got to split the $90,000.
