Too Hot To Handle season 3

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

It may be chilly outside, but Netflix is back with the third season of its reality series Too Hot to Handle.

The competition challenges a “batch of horned-up hellraisers” (Netflix’s words, not ours) to abstain from any kind of sexual contact in order to “form meaningful connections” and hold on to the prize money.

Last year, the prize money was set at $100,00 (£74,000) but even a kiss between contestants removes $3,000 (£2,200) from the pot. In 2021, the sum was reduced to $75,000 (£55,400) by the end the series.

The winners of Too Hot To Handle are those who have achieved “growth” and “spiritual connection”.

Last year, there were 10 winners of the $75,000, meaning that they each received $7,50 (£5,540)

There’s a wide range of contestants this year, from a legal secretary to a tree surgeon. Meet the whole gang and find out their Instagram handles below.
