Too Hot to Handle is a dating show that encourages players to form a deeper connection by practicing "self-control." Season 6 of the show has given fans insights into the connections cast members are forming in the retreat. An AI virtual assistant, Lana, has control of the retreat and establishes rules for all cast members. Money from the grand prize is deducted each time someone breaks a rule.
Two couples, Bri and Demari, alongside Louis and Katherine, were separated in episode 4. Demari and Katherine were sent on a blind date with new guests Valentina and Cristian respectively. This date was arranged by Lana, who gave both Demari and Katherine a "temptation timer" during which their loyalty was tested.
When Lana gave them both an option to extend their date for 35 minutes or go back to the retreat, Demari and Katherine chose to continue their date. Katherine said she was keeping her options open on the show and wanted to get to know her date better to make a final decision. Demari admitted Valentina was exactly his type and felt an attraction toward her.
Meanwhile, Louis and Bri were in banishment quarters, waiting for their partners to return. Until then, they had to stay put.

"Everyone's wondering whether the rule-breakers passed the celibacy challenge, until two new singles arrive, and take temptation to a whole other level."
Too Hot To Handle stars Demari and Katherine wanted to keep their options open and get to know their dates better
On Too Hot To Handle season 6 episode 4, Demari and Katherine go on a beach date with Valentina and Cristian respectively. During her date, Katherine realized Crsitian was interested in getting to know her personality, which Louis didn't exactly do. She admitted that she and Louis had great physical chemistry, but the two haven't connected on an emotional level just yet.
Cristian's genuine curiosity to get to know her career goals was impressive in Katherine's eyes. Demari, on the other hand, was starstruck by Valentina's presence. During his confessional interview, the Too Hot to Handle star confessed:
"It's gonna be hard for me to stay focused but I'm gonna try and we'll see how that goes. Valentina is literally everything that I on paper would want. I do have Bri in my mind, but this is gonna be a huge test for me."
Lana informed Bri and Louis that both their partners had extended their dates. Bri felt she could trust Demari and that they were one of the strongest couples in the retreat. Louis, on the other hand, doubted Katherine's actions due to her "flirty personality."
However, Katherine was the one who didn't break any rules or give in to temptation. Demari kissed Valentina knowing he had already pressured Bri romantically.
He also couldn't decide if he wanted to let Bri out of the banishment quarters. The upcoming episodes will give details of what happens next between Demari and Bri.
