Too Hot to Handle season 3: Who won and who lost the most money (2024)

Too Hot to Handle season 3 spoilers below.

We might be in our winter months but Too Hot to Handle season three has proven so spicy that even AI robot Lana struggled to keep up with what the latest group of singletons were up to.

With 10 stars sent to a picturesque island in Turks and Caicos under the promise of a summer of love, island-hopping and bed-hopping, the cheeky Netflix series has once again proven that money does nothing to stop horny singles from getting as randy as possible.

Not even a newly doubled prize fund of $200,000 (£146,175).

So what exactly went down this season? Well… for the first time ever, the cast managed to hit rock bottom, incurring so many fines for their rule breaks that they ended up with nothing in the bank.

We're not sure whether to be disappointed, impressed, or whether to join islander Patrick to mourn the loss of their serious cash.

Thankfully, they were able to claw at least some of it back by the time their duration in the villa came to an end.

So… who were the biggest culprits? And how did they manage to splurge such a significant amount of money in such a short space of time?

Here's the full breakdown of what went on – and who became the worthy winners of what remained of the prize fund.

Who won Too Hot to Handle season 3?

While season one saw the prize split between the entire group, and season two gave the bank account boost to just one lucky winner, this year they went a different route once again.

In the end, for the first time in the show's history, the prize went to a winning couple – British duo Harry Johnson and Beaux Raymond.

They beat South African model, Nathan Soan, and Australian midwife Georgia Hassarati to the pot.

Harry, a 29-year-old tree surgeon from Middlesbrough, arrived on the island boasting his credentials as a Harry Styles lookalike, with the cheeky personality to match.

Legal secretary Beaux, 24, arrived shortly after him, but their relationship was far from immediate.

In fact, after both setting their sights on other people, they initially started their time on the island as friends and confidantes.

But during Lana's workshops, the couple's bond soon became apparent, and it only got stronger as they shared a bed together and had quiet chats away from the rest of the group.

Eventually, it was Harry who admitted that he was beginning to fall of Beaux, with the quick-witted blonde taking her time before finally opening up to him.

Between them, they managed to largely stick to Lana's rules – although Harry did manage to lose a $4,000 after his pent-up sexual energy resulted in him needing some alone time. Though to be fair to him, he paid more than the $4,000 when he had to confess his moment of self-love in front of the rest of the group, including Beaux. We think he might have learned his lesson fairly quickly from that experience.

By the end of the series, they had officially declared themselves boyfriend and girlfriend, with Harry even admitting he'd fallen in love with her.

Time will tell if they've managed to stand the test of time since the show ended – because sticking to Lana's rules, they've revealed nothing on social media that would suggest either way as of yet.

How did the Too Hot to Handle cast lose $200,000?

If we're talking technically, the cast actually managed to do the unthinkable and spend more than the $200,000… but seeing as they couldn't go lower than zero, the buck had to stop there.

Lana knew they would be trouble from the beginning, with two cast members sharing a snog before the Too Hot to Handle twist was even put into motion.

Believing they were on a series called Pleasure Island, British babe Izzy shared a kiss with American stud Truth within hours of arriving at the show's piece of paradise.

… And then the twist was revealed, the sex ban was put in place, and everything started going a bit wrong.

It took Izzy a whole nine minutes to break the rules again, only this time with Georgia, sharing a snog in a deliberate act of defiance against what had been put in place.

In response, Lana doubled the fines from there on in, and it was all downhill from there as couple Nathan and Holly couldn't keep their hands off each other – even when given the opportunity to save themselves.

This is the full breakdown.

• Georgia and Izzy: Snog: $3,000
• Izzy and Truth: Snog: $6,000
• Georgia and Stevan: Snog: $6,000
• Holly and Nathan: Snog x5: $30,000
• Stevan and Olga: Snog: $6,000
• Holly and Nathan: Snog through cloth: $6,000
• Holly and Nathan: Chastity Test fail: $57,000
• Holly and Nathan: Snog x2: $12,000
• Georgia and Gerrie: Snog: $6,000
• Izzy and Jackson: Snog: $6,000
• Izzy and Jackson: Snog: $6,000
• Izzy and Jackson: Inappropriate touching: $10,000
• Izzy and Jackson: Snog: $6,000
• Harry: Masturbation: $4,000
• Nathan and Holly: Numerous rule breaks including sex: $90,000

So technically, at their worst, they were -$54,000 in Lana's debt. Good job Lana doesn't have an overdraft fee, and called it quits once they hit zero.

Only Patrick, Beaux and Jaz stuck to the rules throughout. By far the biggest culprits were Nathan and Holly, who alone racked up a $141,000 bill, including one night when they blew $69,000 after failing given a chastity test that the rest of the group bet on them passing.

British lass Izzy was the next big hitter, losing the group $37,000 bill for snogs with Georgia and Truth, and then later making several discrepancies with newcomer, Jackson.

After the group ran out of cask, and with morale between the group at an all-time low, Lana threw them a lifeline on the final night, when repeat offenders Nathan and Holly were delivered a wake-up call. Nathan was booted from the island which, as far as anyone knew, was permanent.

But instead Nathan was taken to an intensive therapy workshop in order to figure out how to channel his urges, considering he was the instigator in most of the clinches with Holly.

On his return, the couple were given a chastity test, and told to spend a night in a room together alone. If they succeeded in keeping their urges at bay, Lana would return the $90,000 they had racked up during a night of passion that included having sex as well as a number of other major rule breaks.

They succeeded, and as a result the rest of the gang had $90,000 to play for on the final day.

So in theory, Harry and Beaux, who were voted to win by their fellow competitors, took home a cool $45,000 each, as well as a new significant other.

Ain't love (and money) grand?!

Too Hot to Handle season 3 is available now on Netflix.
