Since Joao and Flavia took accountability, the fine was not doubled.

She further revealed that Louis and Katherine spent $40,000 as they indulged in numerous rule breaks. Considering the collective number of rule breaks, the pot decreased to $137,000.

Louis and Katherine face the heat after spending $40,000 in Too Hot To Handle season 6 episode 5

In Too Hot To Handle season 6 episode 5, the cast spent more time getting to know one another on an emotional level but that wasn't true for some cast members who initiated physical contact despite it being strictly against Lana's rules.

To begin with, Katherine and Louis shared a shower and indulged in prohibited actions. Later at night, the two broke several other rules, but they were not the only ones. Flavia and Joao also shared a kiss, which cost the group money.

"Good morning everyone. In the outside world, you all struggle with emotional courage and honesty, which is holding you back from forming genuine romantic relationships. Today, I challenge you to find the courage to be honest with yourselves and others, even when it means owning mistakes and facing criticism," Lana said.

The cone-in-charge summoned the season 6 cast to the Cabanas where she revealed that Louis and Katherine had cost the contestants an additional $40,000. Flavia and Joao also broke the rules and their penalty was $16,000. Although Flavia and Joao also faced criticism from the group, given Louis and Katherine's history, the Too Hot To Handle stars were furious with their behavior.

Gianna wondered whether the couple didn't have "self-control" and compared their behavior to her own since she hadn't broken a rule so far on the Netflix show. Lucy told them she loved them as people but asked them what the "frickin' hell" they were doing.

When Lana revealed the two Too Hot To Handle stars had indulged in "mutual manual gratification", the season 6 cast asked them how they would justify their behavior.

"Yeah, I've let Lana down again. I just couldn't keep my hands to myself. Yeah. I really did try," Louis said in a confessional.

Lucy asked the couple whether they didn't care about the money and Katherine responded that she did. She declared she was "done doing this" and that she didn't want to break any more rules.

Joao said it was "crazy" they spent $40,000 and Flavia added that the Too Hot To Handle season 6 cast was "poor" because of Louis and Katherine's actions. Lucy added that if they continued how they were going, the cast would have less than $100,000.

In a confessional, Katherine expressed regret over her actions and said that if she and Louis continued to spend money, the cast would not be happy with them.

"So we need a change and not continue to break these rules anymore," she added.

Their actions made other contestants express wanting to spend money as well. Charlie said that while everyone else was spending money, Lucy had been strict about not breaking any rules.

Episodes of Too Hot To Handle season 6 are available to stream on Netflix.
