More about the show

Too Hot to Handle will put ten good-looking, young singles together in a lavish villa and guide them towards a life of love and away from lust. Much like the previous seasons, the cast of the show will initially be unaware of the show they’re on, and the name of the fictional show this season is Love Overboard.

The singles will spend their time taking part in various workshops, which will help them get to know themselves better. These workshops will in turn help them form deeper connections that they usually run away from in real life. The show will start with a pot of $200,000, but every act of intimacy, it will result in money being deducted.
