By the end of episode 7 of Too Hot To Handle season 6, the prize fund had significantly dropped due to the contestants' misbehavior. Episode 7, titled A 99.7% Chance of Trouble, was released on July 26, 2024.
The original prize fund of a quarter of a million dollars, had shrunk to a little more than half of it, and came around to approximately $112,000, proving significant consequences of poor behaviour by the contestants.
The show, as per its rules, fines the participants for every kiss, resulting in the deduction in the prize pool. Earlier in the season, the prize money had been reduced for similar reasons as well.

Too Hot To Handle: Impact of rule violations

By the end of episode 7, the prize fund stood at approximately $112,000. This reduction reflects the cumulative fines from multiple rule breaches throughout the season. Besides, new singles were brought into the retreat, testing the strength of the contestants to keep up with the rules.

A date between Joao and newcomer Alex created significant tension. Despite Joao’s established connection with Bri, he showed considerable interest in Alex during their one-on-one outing.
