After four seasons, the core tenets of Netflix reality series Too Hot to Handle are easy to identify among even the most casual viewers. A group of sex-crazed singles who think they're signing up for a debaucherous vacation (and the influencer fame that follows) are instead met with Lana, a sentient cone who challenges them to form meaningful relationships rather than fleeting hookups. The contestants have differing responses to the prize fund reveal; one noble soul becomes the cone cop, trying to make sure the pot stays up (and at the same time blocking their own chances at winning the money), while the people who rule-break with abandon get most of the screen time. After so many installments where even the workshops don't change much, each season lives or dies on the personality and charms of the main cast.
The first four episodes of season 5 arrived on Netflix on July 14, and so far the season 5 cast of Too Hot to Handle has been focused on lustful competition. Each couple that has formed has been relatively fleeting, as screen time focuses on groups of contestants competing for a person's affection, and moments of sweet chemistry are hard to find. However, there is a chance that a standout couple could emerge from all the chaos of the initial episodes. (Look at season 4's Kayla and Seb, who are still together as of June 2023). Read on for our breakdown of season 5's couples, and any clues we could find of who's still together after filming.
