Viewer Reactions to Too Hot to Handle
1. Some Viewers Asked: Is the Cast Even Hot?
The promo photo for Too Hot to Handle season 5 didn’t do the cast any favours; the editing and lighting were questionable. Luckily, some (but not all!) viewers have now changed their minds after seeing the first episodes.
2. Elys Apparently Looks Like Billie Eilish
On Reddit, several fans have pointed out that Elys looks like the famous singer Billie Eilish. Can you see the resemblance?
3. Opinions Are Divided Over Christine
While some viewers admire Christine’s confidence, others have suggested her pursuit of Louis is ‘desperate’. Time will tell!
4. Redditors Are Happy That the Men Don’t All Fancy One Woman
In previous seasons of Too Hot to Handle, the men all often fawned over one woman (e.g. Francesca Farago or Kayla Richart). That isn’t happening so far in season 5—and Redditors are finding it refreshing: ‘just wanna say i love how this season doesnt revolve around one pretty girl’.
5. Hunter’s Quirkiness Isn’t For Everyone
In the spirit of Patrick Mullen and Nick Kici from previous seasons, Hunter appears to be on a slightly different wavelength to some of the cast members and people at home!
Some viewers weren’t impressed when Hunter said he chillaxes for a living and considers a coffee date to be his most impressive rendezvous.
6. Megan’s Behaviour Reminds Some Fans of Chloe Veitch
Megan quickly developed feelings for Alex and was very upset when he rejected her. Viewers feel sorry for her, and some have compared her to Chloe Veitch (from The Circle, Too Hot to Handle, and Perfect Match). Why? Chloe also seems to fall fast and was misled as a result on The Circle.
7. Kissing Someone So Soon After Meeting Them = Controversial
When Isaac and Christine each went on a date with a new arrival, they both looked tempted to use their free pass and kiss their date. While one Twitter user questioned this forward behaviour, another replied: ‘It happens so much more than you can imagine. And the people in this show are the champions’.
8. People Predicted Isaac’s Betrayal of Courtney
Although Isaac and Courtney seemed to be going strong on the surface, several viewers interpreted his body language as distant and distracted, so they weren’t surprised when Yazmin turned his head.
9. Some Viewers Think a Power Couple Is Missing
Previous seasons of Too Hot to Handle gave us couples like Nathan and Holly, and Cam and Emily, who weren’t afraid to make serious (and entertaining) rule breaks. Redditors observed that a power couple is missing so far from season 5. Could it be a reason why some viewers are underwhelmed?
10. Is Season 5 Scripted and Too Predictable?
This is a question on many viewers’ lips. One Twitter user said ‘Every season feels like it’s the same characters in different fonts’. A prime example is Dre this season, whose protection of the prize pot closely mimics the behaviour of Kelz Dyke and James Pendergrass from previous seasons. Is Dre a paid actor as some Redditors say?
Some viewers also think that the conversations in season 5 are stilted and even scripted. Other viewers didn’t believe that the contestants had no idea they were on Too Hot to Handle. Is the show too repetitive now and beyond its best days?
…And that’s a wrap! You’re now up-to-date with all the gossip and opinions so far about Too Hot to Handle season 5. We’ll review the next episodes, too, when they air—so make sure to return to Tbreak and don’t miss out on the tea!
