Too Hot to Handle season 3 spoilers follow.
Too Hot to Handle star Holly Scarfone reflected on that infamous night that lost the group $69,000. Holly made it quite far through season 3 of the show, losing out in the finals, but there was one stand-out moment that proved to be quite costly and very memorable.
When Lana (the AI command robot) sent Holly into a private room with Nathan Soan Mngomezulu, there was only one rule – no funny business.
Meanwhile, the rest of the contestants bet on their success with the price-tag of $69,000. But that all backfired after Holly and Nathan shared a forbidden kiss.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Holly revealed her perspective of that night. "I, hands down, can say that was the most expensive interaction that I've had in my entire life. You know what I mean? Wow. To put things in perspective, I didn't know this kiss was gonna cost $69,000, first off."
Proving to be one of the most costly contestants in the show, Holly joked: "I told everyone, I was like, 'I will never take any of you guys to Vegas if you're gonna bet $69,000 on me given my track record!'"

But even with hindsight, she added: "Would I have changed everything I've done? I don't know, because I don't regret a thing on the show. I had an amazing time. Yeah, $69,000 definitely a hefty price tag for a kiss! But I don't know, Nathan's worth the $69,000 I guess!"

Reflecting on the nature of the bet, Holly explained: "I mean, I feel like you need to take risks to succeed. So I mean, we didn't, but I respect it!"
Although Holly had been trying not to "piss off everyone" around her, she concluded: "I feel like I did a lot of growing, and I am now on really great terms with everyone. I made incredible friends, so it all worked out. Everything in life always works out."
Too Hot to Handle season 3 is now available to stream on Netflix, along with the first two seasons of the game show.
