Too Hot To Handle offered contestants the chance to win $100,000 – but the prize money was deducted if any of them caved into temptation by kissing or having sex.
Telecommunications company Mazuma ranked the popularity of the Netflix stars and estimated their potential profitability as influencers.
With three million followers, model Francesca Farago, 26, could earn AU $26,139 (US $16,997 / £13,767) per sponsored post, according to the research.
Francesca’s boyfriend, Harry Jowsey, 22, has estimated earnings of AU $20,330 (US $13,220 / £10,708) per post thanks to his 2.4 million followers.
By the looks of it, the couple have not shared any sponsored posts so far, but they have promoted their own clothing and eyewear brands.
