Season 1 Review:
I can’t say whether anyone comes out of this show a better person, as Lana is supposedly teaching them to be. But I can say it’s a fantastic reality-show mechanism for making me weirdly fond of these goobers. ... Too Hot to Handle is too silly and too messy — and too weirdly nice by the end — to not be appealing.

Season 1 Review:
By the time you finally learn a contestant’s backstory in the second half of the show—that they come from a broken home, or they’ve been cheated on, or they’re a single mother—you’re already too steeped in toxicity and boredom to care. It’s unfortunate that despite the arsenal of weapons at the producers’ disposal (which include adding new contestants to test connections, tempting private suites, and watches that light up when contestants are allowed to kiss) the show never manages to be as scintillating or as meaningful as it claims to be.

Season 1 Review:
Too Hot to Handle is terrible—shoddily made and deeply uninteresting. The contestants are all bores, all clearly out to boost their influencer clout, and are awful at the game of reality show pretending. ... This is sub-basement reality TV, hastily made with the worst kind of cynicism—the one that assumes us dumdums will gulp down whatever slop we’re fed.

The people are not very deep minded. The series wants them to connect on a deeper level, but there's not a lot going on to dive deep into with this cast.

I haven't watched. I don't think I will. Let me see if I understand the premise: You are paying people for not having sex? And The Entertainment is what happens when hot people struggle with that? It even isn't original, there is an entire category of porn about exactly that.
