1. She Likes to Push Her Boundaries

When they reached out to her to be on the show initially, “I had no idea that it was Too Hot to Handle,” she says on her YouTube channel. “But the second that I saw Lana”—the show’s virtual assistant—“I knew, I just knew and first thought in my head was you have got to be kidding me. It's actually really crazy how you can like trick a group of what, like 10 to 14 people, to come out to shoot a show and then it turns out being something completely different. The fact that that's even legal is super cool. But I'm really happy that I caught the experience. It really was a journey. Like people just go on and think, oh, it's a TV show, but people forget at the end of the day, it's about self progression. We did a ton of workshops and we were pushed to the brink every day, pushing our boundaries and trying to progress ourselves as people.”

2. Yes, She Ate Well During Too Hot to Handle

“I get this question so much. I don't know why everyone's concerned about what we were eating or if we ate on Too Hot to Handle—the answer is yes, we did not not eat for a month and a half. In fact, we had a plethora of food. I was eating so much and we could have as many plates as we want. We had an open buffet, not to mention, we had a really amazing chef. I think the chef was Rihanna's chef. So we had the best food. And you would think that we were like eating salads and stuff, but like we had a lot of like pizza and like french fries and every day was a pizza party,” she said on YouTube. “So we definitely had a fun time eating. One of my favorite moments in filming was just like being in the dining room and sitting with people and we were always testing our mics. And so like, we'd have to go around and be like, testing wait to count to 10. And we'd all, you know, be around the table, singing and eating and like joking. But yes, we definitely did eat.”

3. She is Introspective

Filming the show: “It really was an intense month and a half….And even down to like the second that I started filming up until now, it's still changing my life. Of course when we were in there, we were doing workshops and personally I was struggling with the dynamic of building a relationship with myself and someone else. And then also balancing that with building a relationship with the group as a collective. And that was a complex thing for me for a while. It took me a while to really get the hang of it. But that's the whole essence of the show is just getting to know yourself on a deeper level and really challenging certain aspects and departments of yourselves that really need attention.”

4. She Likes it Out on the Water

Holly has shared an image of herself on a paddleboard in a river. “Can’t fake a smile it’s hard to wear,” she captioned it. Water-based exercises can be great for you. “Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections,” says the CDC.

5. She Has a Sweet Tooth

“Who needs a man, when Ferrell's doughnuts can satisfy you x1000000000,” she once said. Enjoy once in a while but we’re sure Holly knows that “eating too many foods with added sugars sets the stage for potential health problems, such as:

• Poor nutrition. If you choose sugar-laden foods instead of more nutritious foods, you miss out on important nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
• Weight gain. There's no single cause for being overweight or obese. But added sugar might contribute to the problem. It's easy to get extra calories when eating foods that are sugar sweetened,” says the Mayo Clinic.
