PERFECT Match fans were outraged after newcomers Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones won season 2.
Christine and Nigel were together for just two days before securing victory by one vote in Thursday night’s baffling final.
The Netflix stars – who originally appeared in Too Hot To Handle – were voted the “perfect match” by their co-stars who were no longer in the villa and were awarded an all-expenses-paid holiday.
The couple – and their co-stars – appeared shocked when the host Nick Lachey they announced that they had won and were going on a “pre-honeymoon” together.
They beat other couples like Stevan Ditter (previously on Too Hot to Handle) and Alara Taneri (Dated and Related), Micah Lussier (Love Is Blind) and Kaz Bishop (Dated and Related) and Tolú Ekundare (The Trust: A Game of Greed ) and Chris Hahn (Too Hot to Handle).
Elys Hutchinson (Too Hot To Handle) and Bryton Constantin (Squid Game: The Challenge) were also in contention after Elys chose to team up with Bryton in the previous episode.

Viewers were furious at the ‘joke’ result, arguing that lovebirds Alana and Stevan should have taken the crown instead of Christine and Nigel.
“Crap?????? Christine and Nigel are the winners????? That season sucked,” said one of them on X, formerly Twitter.
“I’m genuinely in shock right now, what a HORRIBLE way to end a GREAT season,” added another.
“I waited three weeks to see the couple appear in two episodes to win the whole damn show?
“Alara and Stevan deserved this shit idcccc,” someone else agreed.
“The ending was a joke. There’s no way they were the winners,” another viewer commented, while one critic called Christine and Nigel “the worst winners in reality TV history.”
Elsewhere in the finale, Harry Jowsey was exposed for lying to Jessica Vestal about kissing Melinda Melrose at a boys’ pool party, away from his partner.
Harry has repeatedly insisted he didn’t secretly kiss Melinda away from the cameras and accused her of making up “lies” for her “15 minutes of fame.”
However, the truth came out during the finale when producers screened footage of Harry kissing Melinda.
HARRY’S SECRET KISS
The Dancing With The Stars alum was seen saying: “I’m going to get you pregnant” to Melinda as she sat on his lap on a sun lounger.
He then picked her up, carried her to the bathroom and appeared to try to kiss her as she said, “No, no, no, no. Look around,” apparently hinting at the cameras.
They then went behind some trees and Melinda was heard whispering, “Nobody’s watching, no cameras. Go ahead, nobody’s watching.”
As they walked back to the lounge chairs, she said, “Treacherous kiss. I just wanted to rip your face off.”
“Oh yes, I want to fuck you,” Harry replied.
“I don’t mind climbing that tree,” Melinda said back.
Later, talking to Chris, Harry admitted: “I did something really bad. I can’t say that on camera.”
He then asked the producers, “Did you guys get footage of me and Melinda kissing or what? I didn’t want to do that.”
After seeing the footage, Harry – who said during the show that he is using therapy to become a “better man” – claimed he gets “a bit frisky” and “self-sabotaged” his relationship with Jessica.
At the beginning of the finale, Jessica, who has a 10-year-old daughter, chose not to remarry Harry and left the villa.
FAN FURY
Viewers said they felt vindicated after seeing footage of Harry and Melinda kissing.
“I’m so tired of people giving toxic men the benefit of the doubt or ‘seeing their potential’ after showing us how trashy they’ve been for years,” one wrote on X.
“This guy lied the first time we met on TV and four years later he’s still lying on TV. Yuck.”
“Harry is really crazy, how you keep lying and lying and then admitting it and being like ‘I sabotaged the relationship,’” added another.
“I knew my girl, Melinda, wasn’t lying on Harry’s giant bean-stalk ass.

“Melinda also said on TikTok live that Jess knew and now we know that’s why she didn’t match with him and left the house!”
Harry has had several controversial relationships in recent years after finding fame on Too Hot To Handle.
His ex, Francesca Farago, who he met on the Netflix dating show, called him “a piece of shit” and said he was “extremely disrespectful” to her online.
Last year, his other ex, Georgia Hassarati, criticized Harry for accusing her of cheating on him following their June 2023 split.
The Too Hot To Handle star claimed Harry was unfaithful to her early in their relationship and accused him of trying to “ruin” her exes, pointing out a pattern of him accusing the other party of cheating.
