*Spoilers ahead for Too Hot to Handle season 5*
Over the years, there have been a number of horny couples on Too Hot to Handle, but few have come close to the pure desire displayed by this season’s pairing of Christine and Louis. The two connected instantly when they met in the first episode, and despite a rocky start, they’ve been unable to keep their hands off each other ever since—which goes against the entire ethos of the show.
Too Hot to Handle premiered in 2020, and it follows a group of singles that believe that they’re on a dating show to hook up with each other, but soon realize that they’re actually on a sexless retreat designed to help them focus on making emotional and mental connections rather than physical ones. There’s no kissing, sexual contact, or self-gratification allowed, so if they break the rules, they lose money from the grand prize that’s promised at the end of the show.
Christine and Louis seemed eager to break those rules from the very beginning, even after Louis decided to couple up with Hannah, despite telling Christine (and Hannah and Megan) that he would sleep in their bed for the first night. Christine still decided to make her move on Louis while he was with Hannah, and after a secret nighttime kiss, he promised that he would tell Hannah what had happened and break things off with her.
However, Louis didn’t keep his word, and when Lana, the virtual assistant in charge of the retreat, gathered the group together to discuss how much money they had lost because of Louis’ breaches, Christine took it upon herself to reveal to Hannah, and the rest of the group, that the reason for the large dock in the grand prize was because Louis had kissed both her and Hannah.
Louis and Hannah broke things off, and he then met with Christine to apologize to her. She was initially wary about giving him a chance, but decided to go forward with their coupling, and things were going pretty well with the couple until there were some new arrivals on the show. Here’s what we know about Christine and Louis.
Are Christine and Louis From Too Hot to Handle Still Together?
While Christine was picked by newcomer Trey to go on a date and their meeting went well, she ultimately declined a kiss from him, and let him know how strong her connection was with Louis, which further strengthened their bond. Unfortunately, that bond has made them want to have sex with each other even more, and during a night of kissing and “prolonged, mutual gratification,” (the show’s words, not mine!), they cost the group $48,000, which disappointed and angered everyone.
Lana then offered the couple a test—if they could spend the entire night together without breaking any rules, she would give the group back their $48,000. During the test, Christine seemed eager to break the rules, but Louis stayed strong, and the couple was ultimately able to recoup the previous $48,000 loss.
That excitement was short-lived once newcomer Linzy picked Louis to go on a date. Sadly, he didn’t show the same loyalty that Christine had shown him, and he eagerly took Linzy up on her offer to touch her boobs. Lana then offered Christine the ability to cut Louis’ date short, and swap him out for another member of the retreat, which she decided to do after hearing about Linzy’s assets.
Typical to his previous behavior, Louis wasn’t honest with Christine about what happened on the date once he got back to the house, and he resolved to keep the two girls apart so they wouldn’t be able to compare stories. As for where the couple are right now, there are three more episodes of the show to go, so we’ll just have to wait and see if they cost the group any more money—and if they ultimately leave the show together.
