Fans of Love is Blind might have a while to wait for season 2, but Netflix has a new reality TV show called Too Hot To Handle coming that fans can sink their teeth into in the meantime. In a world where singles everywhere are currently unable to actually hook up, what better than a show that pays them not to?
Netflix isn't just getting the hang of the reality TV market, they are killing it. The Circle and Love is Blind both captured the whole country's attention even before they had no place to go. Now, under lockdown, anyone who didn't seen Love is Blind is watching it and everyone is still talking about it. So what now? As we begin to approach a time when the shutdowns will start to impact viewing options, Netflix has us covered. Starting April 17th, fans will be able to binge all 8 episodes of Too Hot To Handle.
The show has a concept that is as unique as Love is Blind, with the same overall goal of singles getting to know each other in a different way than we normally see on reality TV. In this show, the 10 singles gathered from select pools of hotter than normal people around the world, have no idea that the show they are signing up for won't follow the typical tropical island hook up format. No, the twist for Too Hot To Handle is that there is a complete moratorium on physical intimacy of any kind. The only way to win the money is to keep your hands to themselves, and off themselves as it seems that every kind of intimacy is banned. Every violation reduces the potential 100k prize pot.
Netflix already proved that it's possible for singles to make a lasting connection with someone they've never seen. But what if you can see the person and that physical attraction is there but you don't act on it? Now they are attempting to test the theory that singles who are used to a casual sex world can make deeper connections with the physical aspect removed or will temptation get the best of them?
While this would be an interesting concept any time, the concept seems more timely than ever. In a world on lockdown, singles everywhere are trying to find new ways to connect. If Netflix can prove that you're even better off not being able to hook up with the hot fellow single you met on Tinder, then I think we're all ears. If it doesn't work then it still should prove fun entertainment for those of us unable to jet off to a tropical island full of beautiful people at the moment due to quarantine. We'll just pretend it's normally an option for the rest of us. One thing is for sure, between their reality programming and Tiger King, Netflix has proven they do unscripted TV just as well as scripted TV, and they clearly know what we want to see before we do.
Too Hot To Handle premieres April 17th at 3am EST on Netflix.
