'Too Hot To Handle' recently dropped on Netflix, and while it's been almost a week, most fans have already binge-watched the entire season. Though there have been favorites because of the relationships they made, or the drama they created, there is one particular contestant that fans are currently fawning over — David. 

David might not have left the series with a relationship like Francesca and Harry or Rhonda and Sharron, but he did leave with the title of a best friend. David was that friend we all wish we had. He put his feelings aside so his friend can form a bond and get into a relationship with the same woman he had his eyes set on. 

Rhonda was a hot commodity ever since she entered. In the beginning, Sharron and Rhonda became close and formed a bond together. But that came to standstill when Rhonda realized Sharron wasn't making any efforts in opening up to her.

After the producers paired David and Rhonda for a workshop together, the two started to form a bond and David who always had an eye for Rhonda started to develop feelings for her.

But then there was a glitch. David and Sharron turned out to be good friends and Sharron revealed that his last relationship ended because his ex left him for his best friend. 

Seeing David and Rhonda together upset Sharron more. This caused him to drift away from his friendship with David. When he noticed that, David confronted Sharron and decided to step aside and not pursue Rhonda because he didn't want to ruin the friendship he had with Sharron. 

Fans who watched their friendship grow stronger affirmed that David is the best friend that anyone would be lucky to have. "David is a solid man & a solid friend... holding your friend accountable is not easy #TooHotToHandle," a fan wrote. 

"David literally let his best friend have the girl he's in love with excuse me as I go cry #TooHotToHandle," a fan said wile another shared, "David is a real af ! He is a real friend ! Okay I’m getting into this show." 

"Everyone needs friends like David and Nicole in their lives, they’re so unproblematic and genuinely care for people. #TooHotToHandle," a fan shared. Another said, "So David Is legit a real friend Even though they just met, that little speech he gave Sharron." 

"David putting his own feelings aside for the happiness of his friend shows how much a great man he is. The better choice. #TooHotToHandle," a fan shared.

Another wrote, "David has me tearing up by how amazing a friend he is and how he was willing to step back and let Sharron open up more to Rhonda he's so mature and deserves the world #TooHotToHandle."
