How did Charlie and Katherine end up liking each other on Too Hot to Handle season 6?

Until episode four of Too Hot to Handle season 6, Katherine and Louis were one of the strongest couples in the villa. They were unable to keep their hands off of each other, resulting in several rule breaks and the loss of the prize money.

However, in episode 5, their connection seemed to wither away after a workshop where the contestants had to introspect. The intimacy coordinator had the contestants stare into their reflections in a mirror as they thought about when they had been dishonest.

The cast members were paired with someone with whom they didn't have an emotional connection, leading to Katherine and Charlie being paired. She said she had to come across as a woman who looked like she had "all her sh*t together," adding that she just wanted to be loved for who she was.

Charlie confessed to feeling attracted to Katherine's vulnerability. When the workshop host asked them to gaze into each other's eyes, the emotional chemistry between the two became palpable. Katherine said she knew Charlie was going to be trouble since day 1, while Charlie said he felt like kissing her.
