Later on in the show, she announced the three finalists who had shown personal growth – Cam, Carly and Marvin. The rest of the Too Hot to Handle season 2 contestants then had to vote for the person who they thought deserved to win.
Marvin received the most votes and went home with the $55,000 cash prize, which was what was left over after all the rule breaks.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Too Hot to Handle's Tabitha revealed why she didn't vote for Marvin and whether she thought he and girlfriend Melinda would last.
"I voted for Cam because I had that moment with him and that test with him. I related to him a little bit. I don’t know if it was because he was English so I related to him more, but it felt more real. I think he was on a bigger journey and he learned more things compared to Marvin," she said.
Who voices Lana?
Lana is a virtual assistant. Her voice was created by a team of experts and her script is programmed by the producers who watch the contestants and feed the instructions into the digital device.
