The status of Gianna and Louis on Too Hot To Handle season 6 explored

Several cast members of Too Hot To Handle season 6 were baffled by the actions of Katherine and Charlie on the show as they both decided to end their connection with Louis and Lucy respectively. Katherine and Charlie paired up together in a workshop conducted by an intimacy coach, Brenden Durell, on episode 5. While Katherine previously hinted at feeling no emotional connection with Louis other than a physical one, Charlie hinted that he felt a brother-sister relationship with Lucy due to a lack of physical intimacy.

During the workshop, both Katherine and Charlie felt a spark between each other which they had been missing with their current partners. While Charlie also confessed that he wanted to kiss Katherine, Katherine felt a deeper connection with Charlie due to the unresolved feelings between them, as they had tried to connect earlier.

Katherine later confided in Flavia and Valentina about her conflicted feelings towards Charlie as she didn't want to break the hearts of Louis and Lucy. Katherine then met Charlie and confirmed his feelings, before deciding to break up with Louis. She told him:

"I feel like I really tried doing it with you... I just don't know if it could get to that point for me of having a deeper connection. Being with you, I've been kinda thinking about someone else the whole time. Sometimes I do think about Charlie."

All these events led to the cast members, including Louis and Gianna, discussing the new sleeping arrangements. Louis quickly decided to flirt with Gianna as he didn't want to share a bed with Chris.

Gianna expressed her surprise when Louis came on to her but was also enthusiastic about the prospect of pairing up with him, as she was interested as well. She said,

"Is Louis flirting with me right now? I've already fancied the man for long enough, so let's make this dream come true."

Despite both showing interest in each other, Kylisha was concerned about her friend Gianna. She worried that Louis might be flirting with Gianna as a short-term fix, to get over his breakup with Katherine. All the cast members took this sudden turn of events humorously and Louis also commented about his new connection with Gianna saying:

"Katherine dumped me, but it did not take me long to move on."

Gianna and Louis slept together in a single bed that night, but the lack of genuine connection between the two was noticed by Lana the next day. Louis, who had cost the group $64,000 for breaking rules with various contestants, was kicked off the show by Lana as Louis failed to form any genuine intimate relationship during his time on Too Hot To Handle. This ended Louis and Gianna's brief pairing.
