- Warning: Spoilers ahead for the first four episodes of Netflix's new series, "Perfect Match."
- Francesca Farago responded to being portrayed as a "villain" in multiple reality shows.
"Perfect Match" star Francesca Farago says she is a lot "more savage" while filming reality shows than she is in real life.
Francesca stars in her third Netflix dating series, after appearing in both "Too Hot To Handle" and "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" season one. On both occasions, she ended up in the middle of major drama with her castmates, and that streak continues in "Perfect Match," which premiered on Netflix last week.
In the third episode, Francesca and costar Savannah Palacio ("The Circle") get into a fight after Savannah tries to flirt with Francesca's current partner, Dom Gabriel ("The Mole"). An episode later, Dom is brought to tears when Francesca decides to go on a date with Damian Powers due to their history on "Love Is Blind."
In an interview with Insider ahead of the "Perfect Match," Francesca reflected on how she's portrayed in her various Netflix appearances, and said she's "happy to be the villain."
"I feel like during filming I'm more savage than I am in real life," the reality star said. "I'm just more cutthroat. I don't know why. There's like some inner flame that comes out of me and it was really hard for me to make certain decisions while I was filming."
Francesca said that there were moments when she got emotional during the filming of "Perfect Match," but she is unsure if they will make the final cut.
"I don't know if they showed me getting really emotional at times, but there were a lot of really emotional times for me that was really hard for me to deal with," the reality star said.
"I tried to go home a few times, but you just never know what they're gonna show. They could cut out all my emotional scenes, or they could focus on a certain character of mine. So, I'm happy to be the villain. I've embraced it."
In the series, an all-star cast from Netflix's reality TV shows, including "The Circle," "Too Hot To Handle," "Love Is Blind," and "Selling Tampa," are placed in a villa to see if they can find their perfect love match among the other reality star singles.
