Too Hot to Handle season 6 ended on Friday, August 2, 2024. Eligible singles from various walks of life arrived at Lana's retreat to try their luck at love. While Bri and Demari won the show with the $100,000 prize, two other couples were able to find compatible partners and forge romantic connections.
Katherine and Charlie, along with Chris and Sabrina, reached the finale of the Netflix show, after pairing with each other in episodes 5 and 8 respectively. While other couples got the time to develop their relationships and test their connections, Chris and Sabrina had relatively less time to spend together. Despite that, their budding romance appealed to the audience.
Viewers saw Chris struggle to bond with the ladies at the retreat. Although he tried his best, the female cast members preferred moving on from him to explore other options. When Sabrina entered the retreat in episode 8, she was immediately drawn to him. The duo paired up and remained together through the remaining episodes.
Too Hot to Handle fans took to X to react to the couple's journey.
"I’m happy for Chris dude was slept on the whole show then boom Sabrina came and sweep my boi off his feet, she also top 3 baddest in the retreat to me #toohottohandle," a fan wrote.
"Chris is such a genuine soul. He’s shown more self-awareness and growth than anyone else this season. Sabrina - don’t let us down! #teamchris #toohottohandle," another fan commented.
"Chris seems like a really good guy. He’s been such a great friend to Demari all season, he’s always been respectful to every woman there, he took it seriously, was so funny and lovely. And in the end finally also had a connection & handled it beautifully toohottohandle," a netizen tweeted.

"I really like Sabrina and Chris together #toohottohandle," one user wrote.
"Chris and Sabrina is cute ASF #toohottohandle," another person wrote.
"I really like Chris & Sabrina. Awww #toohottohandle," one fan tweeted.
When Chris and Sabrina incurred a fine of $6000 for sharing a kiss, the other cast members disapproved of their actions. However, fans criticized the cast because it was Chris' first rule break after he formed a genuine connection with someone in the retreat. They believed he deserved the leeway.
"I just feel like the other people on too hot to handle shouldn't have been SO mad at chris since all of them have broken MULTIPLE rules, and he hasn't broken any. Give the guy a break. #toohottohandle," one fan tweeted.
"I'm gonna let Chris pass on his rule break cause he waited ALL season for someone to come in for him! #TooHotToHandle," another netizen commented.
Too Hot to Handle season 6 host Lana urged Chris to form connections
Chris shared his first kiss with Bri. He believed their spark could grow, but Bri chose to explore her connection with Demari. When Bri and Demari's relationship hit a rough patch after Demari kissed Valentina on their date, Chris thought he might be able to reconnect with Bri.
However, the Too Hot to Handle cast member stopped pursuing her when she confessed she wanted to reconcile with Demari. Chris then approached Flavia, finding himself attracted to her. With time he realized he was competing with two other men, Joao and Jordan. Seeing Flavia's connection with Joao, Chris knew he lost his chance.
The Too Hot to Handle cast member struggled to connect with anyone after that. Host Lana warned him not to play safe and urged him to mingle with the ladies, failing which, he would be eliminated from the show.
Chris genuinely wanted to find someone. So when Sabrina entered the retreat in episode 8 and expressed an interest in getting to know him, he reciprocated her advances. They shared a kiss and consolidated their relationship. While other couples tackled the challenges of their relationships, Chris and Sabrina shared a peaceful and comfortable bond.
Too Hot to Handle season 6 is currently streaming on Netflix.
