Warning: This story contains spoilers for the first season of Too Hot To Handle.
You've seen Netflix's latest reality dating show, Too Hot To Handle by now, right? The eight-episode series places a group of young, attractive singles from around the world on a resort in Mexico. And then tells them when they arrive that they can't have any sexual contact with each other while therenot even kissing.
Anyone who violates the rules will lose a portion of the group's $100,000 cash prize. The goal is get these sex-crazed singles to form deeper relationships with each other. And some of them actually do (*cough Francesca and Harry cough*).
But as with any reality show, not everything that happens on camera makes the final cut. Rhonda Paul, one of the cast members , caught up with Women's Health to share what moments she wishes viewers could have seen.
For starters, her relationship with Harry was just a friendshipnothing more. Remember that scene when Francesca and Harry were mad at each other and Francesca came into the bedroom to find Harry and Rhonda in bed together? Well, Rhonda's gotten questions about whether or not something went down between the two of them. And according to her, that scene was totally innocent.
"Me and Harry are so cool. That was like my brother," Rhonda said. "It was like a friend confiding in a friend. We did that so much. We'd all just kind of jumped into each other's beds and just kind of talked to each other got to know each other."
But Rhonda and Harry's friendship wasn't the only bond that viewers never got the chance to see develop. "With the time that we had, I feel like people weren't able to see the relationship that we all bonded together," Rhonda told Women's Health. Instead the show focused on the romantic relationships. But everybody there felt like family, she added. Even she and Francesca had formed a sisterhood at one point.
Rhonda's open personality was another thing she felt was omitted from the series. "There's things that weren't seen where my personality was coming out," she said. "I feel like I went in there with an open mind and open heart."
There were also apparently some powerful workshops that were left out of the Netflix premiere. "I'm not sure how much detail I can give about those. But there were definitely some more workshops that were just as good as the ones seen," Rhonda said. If they had shown everything, the reality star said they could have had three seasons. "It would have been too good. It would have been wayyy to hot handle," Rhonda told WH.
I guess only Lana knows what really went down.
