Netflix’s new dating series Perfect Match premiered on Valentine’s Day with many expectations, and so far, it has delivered on all fronts. Since its premiere, the show has had a bump in ratings thanks to the drama the ensemble Netflix stars are serving up. One of the cast members serving some early season drama is Too Hot To Handle alum, Francesca Farago. The YouTuber and social media influencer was famous for breaking the rules while on THTH, and she has quickly become the villain on Perfect Match.
Since competing on Too Hot To Handle, Francesca has gained massive fame, and many reports claimed she was in a relationship. Hence, her participation in the show was confusing until the first episode. In the first episode, Francesca paired with Dom Gabriel from The Mole, and she asserted dominance over him and got him to do her bidding. Over the next four episodes, Francesca showed herself as ruthless, competitive, and an unrivaled villain. It quickly became apparent to fans and other contestants that she was not there for love but to win. However, for Francesca, it’s not just about finding a perfect match; she has made it her duty to ensure no one else gets that opportunity.
Francesca Has Been Causing Trouble on Perfect Match
Francesca has been openly playing a game since the first day. Apart from pairing with an emotionally weak man ready to do her every wish, Francesco attempted to break up Joey Sasso of The Circle and Kariselle Snow of Sexy Beasts. It is unclear why she tried to break them up. However, the popular opinion is that she feels threatened by their status as a perfect match in the game. And there is also the small matter of jealousy because Francesca previously hooked up with Joey.
Francesca takes her villainous side to another level in episode three during a confrontation with Savannah Palacio of The Circle. After Savannah realized her Match with Nick Uhlenhuth was not working, she tried to make a move on Dom, who she was interested in from episode 1 before Francesca swooped in. Again, Francesca blocks Savannah, resulting in a catfight between the two — with the former threatening to get Savannah out of the house. In the end, Francesca got what she wanted, as fans watched Savannah leave the house later.
However, Francesca’s most dastardly act came at the end of episode four. After she won a compatibility competition with Dom, the couple got their reward- a date. After their date, the two headed to the boardroom to pick new contestants to bring into the game. When Damian Powers from Love Is Blind shows up on the board, she picks herself to go on a date, leaving a helpless Dom to sulk back to the house alone.
Fans Think Francesca Has an Awful Character
Francesca had a wrong rap sheet during her time on Love Is Blind. She had a complicated romance with YouTuber and influencer Harry Jowsey, and the two infamously plundered much of the prize money on forbidden intimate acts. Many fans hoped to see a better side of Francesca on Perfect Match but have been disappointed so far. Her actions in the first four episodes have got viewers talking on Reddit, with many of them slamming her for her bad attitude. While making reference to her time on THTH, one of the Redditors claimed:
“She was horrible in, too hot to handle, and was intentionally letting the group lose money when she knew she had no chance in winning.”
Another user revealed their dislike for Francesca, saying:
“I don’t know why people like her so much.. it’s really hard to watch her. She thinks she’s better than everybody else.”
Many commenters claimed they felt her fans misunderstood during her time on THTH. They also felt her relationship with Harry did not do her much good. However, after watching Francesca in the first four episodes, they now accept that she may have no good side. Francesca has not tried hiding her game plan from fans or fellow contestants. It will be intriguing to see how far she can go before the other casts turn on her, just like some fans already did. What will happen next on Perfect Match on Netflix?
