Summary
- Perfect Match season 2 is filming and will include past winner Dom Gabriel and Harry Jowsey from Too Hot To Handle.
- Dom and Harry previously claimed they wanted nothing to do with reality TV dating shows, but their appearance on Perfect Match could be strategic for their careers.
- Reality TV stars often make similar claims but end up returning to the genre due to its growing popularity and the opportunities it offers for building their personal brand and career.
Netflix’s reality all-star dating show Perfect Match is filming its second season, and sources say a winner from last season and perhaps the most famous face of Too Hot To Handle is included in the lineup. Perfect Match season 1 was one of the hottest topics in early 2023. The cast, composed of returning reality TV stars, came together to battle it out for both love and an all-expense vacation. The Circle’s Dom Gabriel and THTH’s Georgia Hassarati won but were not indeed a “Perfect Match,” as their relationship ended almost immediately after. Their breakup was dramatically scrutinized when Georgia quickly paired up with another THTH star, Harry Jowsey.
Since the first season offered such an outstanding lineup of personalities, reality TV pundit Reality Ashley has been following the widely discussed speculation of who’s to join Perfect Match season 2. And Cosmo ME reports that Reality Ashley’s “verified sources” confirm season 1 winner Dom Gabriel and Too Hot To Handle’s Harry Jowsey will be making an appearance.
Cosmo ME pointed out a recent conversation between Dom and Harry, where they both claimed to want nothing to do with reality TV dating shows again. The magazine also referenced their interview with Harry a few months back, where he pledged his absence from reality TV “for the rest of his life.”
Why It Makes Sense For Dom & Harry To Join Perfect Match Season 2
Cosmo ME noted why it might not make sense for Dom and Harry to join Perfect Match season 2, and their open reluctance will be the reason an appearance from them will shock viewers. However, there’s reason to think it might make sense for them to. For Dom, it’s rather simple; he has a new podcast to promote. And for Harry, his recent split with Georgia Hassarati could be the factor. After their breakup went public, Harry and Georgia equally engaged in some messy drama that didn’t make him look great. Maybe he had a change of heart with the hope that entering the scene again could improve his reputation.
Reality TV stars in the past have expressed similar sentiments to Dom and Harry – that they’d never consider future appearances again. And many of them fall back on that oath. For many reality TV personalities, their first show is just the start of a journey that eventually becomes a lifestyle or a stable career. To remain relevant in the genre, they either have to gather enough social media following to create a brand for themselves or continue with additional casting opportunities. The public interest in unscripted television has increased in the last few years, making the experiences more worthwhile for its stars.
Rumor has it that Dom Gabriel and Harry Jowsey are back for more. Much talk has surrounded the cast for the dating meets challenge show, but sources have reportedly and consistently named Georgia Hassarati’s exes as part of the lineup. If filming commenced halfway through summer, as reported, the hit show’s second season should drop around the same time as the first, which would be early 2024. Dom and Harry have expressed disinterest in participating in reality TV again, but perhaps Perfect Match is the exception.
