Lana’s back and she's better than ever. Clad with a sparkling, firework-ridden entrance, this mischievous little robot has already begun to stir the pot for the newest sexy singles on Netflix’s third season of Too Hot to Handle. The race is on to see if these ravenous guys and gals can keep it in their pants for the chance to win $200,000.
With flowers and compliments already being doled out to these lucky ladies, will one of these couples become the next Harry and Francesca?
The Season 3 Cast Arrives In Turks And Caicos
Looking to get lucky in Turks and Caicos, THTH's Season 3 cast came out of the gates with guns blazing. Anticipating an intimacy-filled adventure on Pleasure Island, each arrival dropped their guard and spilled some major tea about their intentions, each as non-committal and juicy as the last. Well, except for Patrick's. The Hawaiian native gloated that he's looking for a woman he can "share a moment of silence with." Namaste, Pat!
Tropical drinks in hand, the newcomers are welcomed to Pleasure Island by host Dariany Santana. She prepares them for the next few weeks, including the introduction of some saucy surprises she likes to call, *queue fake siren sounds* "booty drops!" Finally, she prepares them for a private, "swashbuckling Pirate Party." Starting the season off with a treasure hunt - maybe some of these new singles are headed for fame and fortune like some of their predecessors.

Then it's off to the all-too-familiar villa to claim beds. But don't worry - as narrator Desiree Burch assures us, the sheets have been changed since last season. In an unexpected turn of events, Nathan and Truth and Jaz and Izzy wind up bunking in same-sex beds. But with Izzy and Truth's mutual interest, it doesn't seem likely that these sleeping arrangements are permanent.
Truth Makes His Move On Izzy
Speaking of Izzy and Truth, the pair carpe'd the diem and stole the first - and maybe last - kiss of the show. Laying on a hammock in the blue of the Atlantic, Truth looked Izzy in the eyes and said what every girl wants to hear, "You've got sexy lips. Can I see?" To tell the truth (no pun intended), that might be one of the better pickup lines of the year.
Knowing Jaz also has her eyes on Truth, during a private confessional, Izzy told the cameras, "Jaz is a lovely girl, but I'm better." Looks like there's some competition in the air for this love triangle.
The Singles Claim Their Territory At A Glammed-Out Pirate Party
All dolled up and ready to walk the plank, our singlets began their adventure hunting for treasure. X marks the spot! Err, or licks the spot. The singles placed red X's on their most valuable treasures, enticing their favored eye candy to remove the body paint with their tongues.
Much to Jaz's dismay, she wasn't the only one whose chest Truth dug up. Holly tested the waters with Nathan, getting a closer look at his abs...and his tongue. But it was lucky Aussie, Georgia, whose jewels were the most desirable with Patrick, Stev, and Harry digging for gold. According to Georgia, "homeless chic" Stevan had the best lip action of the three. But with his bad boy attitude, it's unclear whether this frog will turn into her prince.
Dariany crashes the festivities to alert the group that one of their "regular deliveries of cargo" has finally arrived. Prompted to retrieve a wooden coffin following a fabulous light show and firework display, the guys muscle up and bring the girls back the group's first booty drop. What could it be? Champagne? Lingerie? A robot named Lana who introduces the cast members to 'Too Hot to Handle,' a show about abstinence?
After Lana Breaks The News, Things Wind Down
The gang is left disheartened and with nowhere to take out their sexual frustrations after Lana broke the news. Pleasure Island just turned pleasure-less. So, as girls do, Georgia and Izzy shared a cheeky kiss in spite of their misfortune. That's two smooches for Izzy thus far - are there more in store? As the night winds down, the singles head to bed. But be warned - Lana's always watching.
With sex officially off the table, who knows what's in store for our 10 new singles. No time is more trying than one spent being good and keeping a distance on an island full of tiny bikinis and deep v's. Will they keep to Lana's rules and abstain from sexual contact? Or will the flames they've already lit grow bigger? Find out this season on Too Hot to Handle. All three seasons are currently available to stream on Netflix.
