The Cast of 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 4: Your Guide
Meet this season's cast of sex-starved Instagram models.

Too Hot to Handle has returned just in time for viewers to snuggle up on the couch and dream of warm Caribbean weather. The Netflix reality show is famous for gathering sex-crazed beautiful people and not letting them have sex, as a piece of surveillance tech named Lana tries to turn them from commitment-phobes to vulnerable, monogamous daters.
For their fourth season, the show has raised the stakes, both in its initial false reality show set-up (they even recruited Mario Lopez!) to the prize pot, which has increased to $200,000. The first five episodes dropped on Wednesday, so let's meet the Too Hot to Handle season 4 cast members who will slowly chip at the pot for some very expensive kisses.
Brittan
Brittan, 22, is a model born and raised in Hawaii whose name is "like the country, but spelled better." She is "addicted" to sex, hates the term "make love," and says that in 2022, loving casual sex makes her an icon.

Creed
Creed, 24, is an entrepreneur from Perth, Australia, who grew up working in a spray tan salon. He has more female friends than male friends, which he says is great because he can't live without women. He's also a nerd and a mama's boy, so he can work all the angles while dating.

Jawahir
Jawahir, 22, is a model from Amsterdam who speaks several languages and whose ideal type is Michael B. Jordan. She's a sucker for bad boys, though she's sure that her choices are frustrating her ancestors who would want to see her with a good guy. When she discovers the Lana twist, she says that it may be karma.

Nick
Nick, 28, hails from Michigan and is an artist, model, yogi, and Instagram poet. He's very in touch with his spiritual side and he's good with his hands. (Yes, he's confirmed that's a sex thing.) He also has an open mind, saying he would volunteer to mate with an alien species.

Nigel
Nigel, 29, is an entrepreneur from New Jersey who describes himself as a businessman by day and "Naughty Nigel" by night. He loves being single, thinks about sex all the time, and refuses to tie himself down to one woman. Jury's still out on whether Lana's experiment will change his ways.

Sophie
Sophie, 22, is an event manager from England. Though she's often compared to Kate Middleton, she describes herself as "equally girly and grubby." She also knows her way around a riding crop, thanks to the pony she had as a girl.

Ethan
Ethan, 26, is a model from Bristol, England. He's a self-advertised bad boy but he also says he's a mummy's boy deep down (still, there are things that his mum shouldn't know). He has two cats, and he's happy to break the rules.

Flavia
Flavia, 25, is a singer and actress from Lima, Peru, who recently won a People's Choice Award for Latin influencer of the Year. She says in her intro that she's not good at following rules and doesn't take "no" for an answer. Also, she plans to be forward and win guys over with her ass(ets).

Imogen
Imogen, 24, is a beauty therapist from Sydney, Australia, who previously appeared on the Aussie game show Take Me Out. She describes herself as the female version of a bad boy.
