Too Hot To Handle season 2 was released on Netflix in June 2021, so a lot of fans are now curious to find out what the season 1 winners have been up to. The viewers have gotten the chance to watch this second cycle of Too Hot To Handle and learn who the winner was. Now that the search for deep meaningful love is over once again, let’s take a look back at the season 1 winners and discover what they’ve been up to since. 

After much anticipation, Too Hot To Handle season 2 became available on Netflix in June. These new contestants were just as scandalous and steamy as the cast featured in season 1. The pot of money once again started off with $100,000, but rule-breakers made deep cuts to the grand prize. As an example, a single kiss cost them $5,000. By the end of Too Hot To Handle season 2, contestants were left with only $55,000 to win. Following a vote from all of the remaining contestants, Marvin Anthony was picked as the winner. With season 2 behind us, let’s check in on the season 1 winners.

The contestants featured on Too Hot To Handle season 1 also started with $100,000, but they were left with $75,000 after a number of rules were broken. Unlike season 2, there were various winners in season 1. In fact, the only contestants who didn’t get a chunk of money were Madison Wyborny, Kori Sampson, and Haley Cureton. That means that the winners were Bryce Hirschberg, Chloe Veitch, David Birtwistle, Francesca Farago, Harry Jowsey, Kelz Dyke, Lydia Clyma, Nicole O’Brien, Rhonda Paul, and Sharron Townsend. Of all the winners, Harry and Francesca were asked to stand up first to claim their prize money. For this reason, some fans technically consider them the season 1 winners. Even though they broke rules the most, Harry and Francesca did make the most effort to form an intimate deep bond.

Harry Jowsey and Francesca Farago left Too Hot To Handle as a couple, but they’re no longer together. Their breakup was highly publicized, and both people took stabs at each other. Francesca claimed that Harry cheated with Madison, who was another contestant in season 1. She also claimed during a lengthy YouTube video explaining that Harry ended things because he couldn’t handle long distance anymore. In Harry’s recount of events, he said that he “never lied to her about anything. I’ve always had my location shared with her so she can see where I’m at all times,” which was in reference to those infidelity allegations. Since the show ended, Harry started a YouTube channel called Just Harry Now and a podcast called Tap In w/ Harry Jowsey. He has also been cast on MTV’s new reality series, Match Me If You Can. Francesa has amassed over 5 million followers on Instagram and frequently partners with brands like Fashion Nova, Boohoo, and Lounge Underwear. Besides being an influencer and a content creator, she also has her own bikini collection called Farago The Label. 

The winners of Too Hot To Handle season 1 were able to build great carers after appearing on the hit Netflix series. For the contestants who didn’t win, they were still able to learn more about themselves and why they’re so drawn to hook-up culture, which is a prize on its own. We hope that all the contestants can find love in the future! Hopefully, season 3 will make its way to Netflix soon.
