The producers of
Too Hot to Handle must really have it out for Canadians. In its debut season, the viral Netflix dating show framed its sole Canuck contestant, Vancouver’s Francesca Faraga, as the show’s villain straight from the jump. And in its second season, which dropped last month, they do it all over again: in the very first episode, Toronto’s Carly Lawrence, the sole Great White Northerner on the show, is quoted as being a rule-breaker, “crazy,” and “a man-eater.”
Nevertheless, Lawrence, who’s 24 and a model in her non-reality show life, goes on to do the 6ix proud in the series, becoming a fan favourite by standing up for her romantic rights—even if she does sort of bend the rules til they break.
