Are you ready to witness conventionally attractive individuals discover the art of true love? That is the primary objective of Netflix’s hit show, Too Hot Too Handle. Debuting in April 2020, this reality dating series quickly gained popularity due to its unique premise and the fact that most people were on lockdown. The goal of the show is to challenge these beauty-obsessed “hotties” to delve deeper and form genuine romantic connections, rather than engaging in superficial encounters. However, there’s a catch – they must resist the temptation of physical intimacy. No touching, no kissing, and definitely no sex. They can’t even pleasure themselves. How is this enforced? Through an all-seeing robotic presence named Lana, who closely monitors their every move. If anyone breaks the rules, the prize money is deducted from everyone’s pool. Who would be willing to sacrifice $25,000 for a momentary make-out session? In this economy, the answer is a resounding no. Most people would easily be able to resist to win the grand prize of $200,000, but these contestants are not like most people.
In its fifth season, Lana is back and ready to guide a fresh batch of Too Hot To Handle contestants in finding deeper connections. This time around, the contestants believe they are participating in a thrilling new dating show called “Love Overboard,” but they are in for a rude awakening courtesy of Lana. Can they resist the urge to touch and maintain their focus on forming meaningful connections? Well, let’s just say their willpower will be put to the test. The cast members this season are undeniably attractive.
Let’s meet our contestants, starting with Alex Snell. Alex is a 28-year-old personal trainer from London, England. He calls himself a “Modern day Greek god” on Instagram, but some might argue that he veers closer to the mythological Narcissus in reality. Many consider him a “Prince Charming look-alike,” and it seems he agrees with that assessment. The only things he truly cares about are his hair and taking luxurious vacations. One can only imagine how many people he has ghosted in the past under the guise of needing some time off. How will he handle a situation where escaping real emotions is not an option?
Next on the list is Christine Obanor, a self-proclaimed “Houston Hottie.” Tall and stunning, Christine is a 26-year-old model who stands at an impressive 6’1″ on the runway. As a fellow Houstonian, she finds it easy to meet men but is quick to discard them the moment they start to show interest in someone else. Could it be a fear of emotional attachment that Lana will help her overcome?
We then have Courtney Randolph, a 25-year-old real estate agent from Houston, Texas. Unlike most contestants on Too Hot to Handle, Courtney is highly focused on her career but also values her physical appearance. Described as incredibly loyal, her loyalty will undoubtedly be put to the test in the Too Hot to Handle house.
Now, let’s not forget about Dre Woodard. Dre is a 23-year-old actor, model, and entrepreneur from Atlanta, Georgia. Always a gentleman, he dedicates one day of the week to each person he dates. Unfortunately for Dre, Lana’s presence means he won’t be able to have relationships scattered across different locations. Will he be able to commit to just one person?
Elys Hutchinson, a 23-year-old ski instructor from Switzerland, takes her job so seriously that she has broken almost every bone in her body on the slopes. People describe her as the perfect combination of tomboy and ladylike, and she has no trouble attracting men when she travels. But when Lana prevents her from running away, how will she respond?
Hannah Brooke, a 24-year-old musical artist from Los Angeles, California, is a triple threat – she sings, she dances, and she has an obvious fear of commitment. Can she prioritize a romantic partner over her desire for attention?
Next up is Hunter LoNigro, a 24-year-old influencer from Arizona who considers himself a “full-time fun-haver.” Hunter has a carefree spirit that allows him to get along with anyone. While he may effortlessly attract friends and lovers, can he find a genuine connection at the retreat?
We also have Isaac Francis, a 24-year-old banker and model from the UK. Known for hosting parties on the Jersey Shore, he is considered quite the head-turner. He may speak eloquently about romance, but Lana will be the judge of whether he can truly walk the walk.
Louis Russell, a 22-year-old model from Hampshire in the UK, relishes a challenge. He loves boxing, football, and going through women as if he were in a track meet. Some might describe him as a menace, but he embraces that reputation. Viewers will have to see if Lana can tame the wild side within him.
Last but not least, let’s meet Megan Thomson. Megan is a 26-year-old personal assistant from Cambridge in the UK. Known for her light-hearted personality and love of the British boy band JLS, will she become too starstruck by the attractive contestants to find genuine love?
This new group of contestants is sure to keep things interesting in this season of Too Hot to Handle. It promises to be entertaining and, for those of us on a budget, slightly frustrating. Yes, they may be attractive, but is there more to them as individuals? Make sure to add this series to your Netflix watchlist – the new season premieres on July 14th.
