Too Some fans of Too Hot To Handle believe Lana rewards rule breakers which is unfair to those that observe the rules. With young, attractive, and sexually active singles together in a secluded environment with the right ambiance like the Turks and Caicos villa of Lana’s retreat — things are bound to get heated up. The show’s format sets the stage perfectly for the contestants, but in Netflix’s hit series Too Hot To Handle, there is a twist. For contestants to win the $200,000 prize money, they must not get physical with each other- No kissing, touching, or engaging in any sexual activity.
The introduction of this twist is what makes Too Hot To Handle different from other similar shows. Seeing singles who have relatively formed a deep connection struggle to hold back their feelings can be quite entertaining. However, nothing beats the anger that ensues when someone breaks a rule, which leads to some deductions on the prize money.
Another factor that makes things more dramatic is the show’s omniscient host Lana, who sees everything. Lana quickly calls out any offenders and metes out the corresponding deductions. There’s still a lot of mystery about the virtual host, but there is no doubt about Lana’s efficiency on the job. Lana’s efficiency in dishing out penalties was prominent in season 2 when the $100,000 prize money dwindled to $55,000 as a result of the couple’s breaking rules. Still, fans are not satisfied with the show ended, and Lana seems to be significantly responsible.
Fans Believe James Should Have Been a Finalist
During the just concluded season 4 of Too Hot To Handle, one couple that caught the eye was Brittan Byrd and James Pendergrass. The duo won over many fans because they did not break any rules during their stay. However, James should receive most of the plaudits for following the rules and remaining committed to only Brittan. Still, James did not make it to the final, and fans of the show were not too impressed with the decision. In the days since season 4 ended, many Too Hot To Handle fans have continued to call out the virtual host for being unfair and seemingly rewarding serial rule-breakers.
Fans Believe Lana Rewards the Most Glamorous Casts
At the end of Too Hot To Handle season 4, two couples made it to the final: Jawahir Khalifa and Nick Kici and Kayla Richart and Sebastian Melrose. For context, Jawahir and Nick were the season’s most prominent rule-breakers, with the former racking up $41,000 in fines on her own. Meanwhile, Kayla and Seb came in as second, jointly racking up fines totaling $68,0000. Eventually, Jawahir and Nick emerged as the winners.
However, many of the fans have aired their displeasure about James not making it to the final and questioned the motive of the show’s host. While reacting to a post shared on Reddit, one commenter declared that the show always rewards contestants that broke the most rules. Another commenter slammed the series for rewarding the more “glamorous” contestants who create a lot of drama by breaking the rules. Many other comments agreed that Lana was unfair and raised many questions about the direction of popular TV series.
Some Fans Believe Producers Expect Couples To Break Rules
While many viewers have voiced their disappointment in Lana over the outcome of season 4 of Too Hot To Handle, some fans have thrown their support behind the embattled host. In response to the thread on Reddit, one user explained that the producers expect couples to break some rules on the show. The user explained:
“no tbh, I genuinely believe u should break rules and then stop breaking rules to win lmao, to show growth. if u never show any affection towards anyone bc ur scared of “breaking them” there’s no growth.”
Despite the criticisms from fans, there has been no word from the producers or Lana. However, it is perhaps safe to assume that the twist of Too Hot To Handle is there for a reason — and that is certainly not to make the ride easy.
