What happened in Too Hot To Handle season 6 episode 2?

Too Hot To Handle season 6 episode 2 started with Bri and Charlie being instructed to go to “Banishment quarters” by Lana. Everyone thought they were eliminated.

Both of them got a closed room with two bunks, one on top of the other. This arrangement shocked them. There was a television, which both Bri and Charlie were excited about. They were also given uniforms while they were in the banishment.

Charlie expressed,

"This has been the craziest day of my life, I think."

Soon, Lana shared,

"Bri and Charlie, your behavior today suggest that you would have been serious threats to the prize fund. That is why you have been banished for a period of 24 hours. Starting now. "

Contestants then discussed who kissed whom for Charlie and Bri’s banishment.

Charlie was frustrated because he liked Lucy and wanted to spend more time in the villa. On the other hand, Bri was worried about Dimari and her bond with whom she liked.

Next day in the villa: New twist with new guests

Lana announced two new guests, which she described as,

"You will say hello to two of my previous guests. Like you, they are single and ready to mingle."

Everyone was quite excited about the new arrivals. Lana instructed the female contestants to welcome one male guest while the male contestants were supposed to welcome one female guest.

Lana gave them the punishment task for the two banished contestants. It was to count paper clips, which described it as a “meditative activity.”

She also said,

"When you have counted them all, let me know by providing me with the correct number of paper clips."

While Charlie was hoping Lucy would wipe her tears because of his banishment, Lucy, along with the other female participants, was dancing in excitement for the “New Boy.”

Two tables were set in different parts of the villa. One was where girls awaited the male guest, and the other was where boys waited for the female guest.

Lucy shared in the confessional,

"If this new person is my type, I 100% am gonna turn up my flirting game. And I normally get what I want."

Jordan also shared in the confessional,

"When it comes to the ladies and competition, it’s getting a little more intense than I thought it would. I feel like it’ll only escalate. If it’s Flavia, I am leaving this retreat in a relationship."

The female guest turned out to be Flavia from Lima, Peru. She told the boys that they looked like Greek Gods. As she arrived, Joao shared in the confessional that he would go for her.

The male guest was Louis, from London, UK. As soon as he arrived, after seeing the girls, he shared in the confessional,

"F*ck me. I’m literally speechless. I’m just seeing sexy girls all around me."

Lana also welcomed both guests and told them to explore potential romantic connections. She added they would later be sent on a private date.

In the banishment, Bri and Charlie finally counted the paper clips. The final number was 590.

Bad Lana in banishment with Bri and Charlie

Soon, the television in the banishment area was turned on, and it was Bad Lana. She informed Charlie and Bri about the updates regarding the new house guests that day. Bad Lana offered to show the live feed for $5000, and they agreed. The television showed the live feed, which Bad Lana described as “Pay-Per-View.”

Charlie and Bri got a live view of Demari and Flavia applying lotion and oil on each other in the sun. Bri didn’t like it at all and walked out of the room.

Later, when the new houseguest, Louis, goes to chat with Lucy, Bad Lana asks for the same prize of $5000 to watch the live feed. Charlie agreed, and they got access to the live feed.

New house guests on their dates

Louis was confused by Katherine and Lucy, and Flavia was torn between Jordan, Demari, and Joao. After chatting with all the housemates, Louis and Flavia were ready for a date. Flavia chose Jordan, while Louis went on a date with Katherine.

Bad Lana once again offered the banished contestants a chance to learn about the date situation. Both Bri and Charlie were tempted to find out if Lucy and Demari were picked for the date, so they were ready to spend $5000.

Jordan went on a date with Flavia, while Katherine and Louis went on their date. Their dates went fine until Katherine wanted to kiss Louis. He tried to resist, but Katherine wanted to break the rules, and they kissed.

After they had returned from their dates, Katherine denied kissing Louis. For Flavia, she wasn’t sure about Jordan, but Jordan was pleased with Flavia. Louis told the boys that Katherine wanted to break the rules, but they didn’t. Soon, the exile was over for Bri and Charlie.

Joao did not believe Jordan when he said the date was amazing, so he talked with Flavia. He asked if she wanted to spend the night, but she didn’t answer immediately.
