Francesca Farago and Harry Jowsey arguably had the rockiest relationship of any of the show’s contestants. They fought, got back together, and managed to burn through $32,000 of the group’s money by hooking up on numerous occasions.

The two got off to a rocky start after Harry convinced Francesca to break the “no kissing” rule early on in the series — which cost them $3,000. Instead of owning up to the group, Harry instead told people it was Francesca who initiated the kiss.

The betrayal led to a mini-Cold War between the two that lasted for half the season.
