Too Hot to Handle star doesn't regret losing $20,000 for sex

Los Angeles Times

Canadian contestant Francesca Farago managed to rack up $32,000 in fines on Netflix's intimacy-banning reality show, including $20,000 in a single night with Australian contestant Harry Jowsey. "It was definitely worth it," she tells the Los Angeles Times. "Like Harry said, it was a bargain. Of course we were being selfish and of course we could have kept it in our pants if we really wanted to, but we just felt like that was the right step to take in our relationship. It was very romantic. That was the night we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend." Francesca says she did come away from Too Hot to Handle with a lesson. "The main thing it taught me was to consider other people’s feelings," she says. "And to have a bit more respect for myself. I did learn that you can form a deeper connection with somebody if you don’t put out right away. That’s obviously a given. I think a lot of people know that. It’s just hard when you’re interested in someone to not want to rip their clothes off. Every lesson that I’ve learned I’ve taken and applied to my personal life. So it’s just been the most amazing experience."
