This finale episode of Too Hot to Handle
is starting with so many unanswered questions.
Who is going to win the prize fund?
How are the two biggest men sharing the world's smallest sofa?
And how is Creed going to get himself out of this pickle?
I have given Creed one final chance to be honest,
as honesty is the foundation of a successful relationship.
What he does not know is if he cannot pass this test,
his time in my retreat will come to an end.
Wow.
Okay, buddy, it's time to 'fess up.
Oh, my God!
I will now give you an opportunity to be honest with Flavia and Imogen
about your actions over the last few days.
So you haven't been honest?
I really don't know how I'm getting out of this.
I'm fucked.
Oh, my God!
Somebody get me some popcorn in here.
Is there something we're missing?
Creed, come on.
It's really not that hard. Tell the truth.
A bit of me wants to come clean,
but the other part of me is just like, no, no, no.
Gotcha, so you're just going to lie, lie, lie.
Creed, you said there was nothing in between you and Imogen.
I told Imogen that I thought we should be friends.
Creed is pissing me off. We both know he's not telling the truth.
Which is crazy! Because everything in this place is on camera.
Oh…
You don't have anything to worry about.
Really?
Are you, like, sexually attracted?
-To you? Yeah. -Yeah.
I don't think you should close anything off.
How do you feel about her?
More like…
friendship-ish.
Right now what I have with you is not worth giving up.
I want to see how far we can go.
Yeah, me too.
Creed and I had an instant connection.
Fucking fuck. Fuck.
He was never set but…
I never got a solid no.
Oh, fuck! Creed's been lying.
Imogen, you just going to out me like that?
The shit has hit the fan.
So I guess that's a little curveball.
Imogen is not lying, Creed is guilty.
Interpret that how you will.
There's only one way of interpreting it.
I tried to be as honest and open as possible.
Creed, you guaranteed that you cut things off with Imogen.
-So… -l did cut things off.
I've got no choice, but to just stick to my story
and wait to see what happens.
Damn.
Creed, you're dead.
I don't know why you've played like that, with my feelings.
Oh, my God, this is fucked!
This is so awkward.
Creed, do you have anything else to say?
I think now's the time for some honesty.
I have no idea what I want to do. I'm way too deep into this lie.
Just tell the truth.
I don't know, I made it pretty clear to both.
You've got to be kidding me.
Creed. I just gave you the chance to be honest
with Flavia and Imogen, once and for all.
You did not take that opportunity,
which shows me that you're not deserving of a place in the final.
Wow.
What is… Oh!
Oh, shit!
Please leave my retreat immediately.
Oh, my God! Wow.
Damn.
Didn't end the way I wanted it to end.
-Cheers. -Sorry.
Lana made the right decision, but it still hurts.
Creed is my best mate in here. Fuck.
-Love you, man. -You know I got you, brother…
-Thank you. -It's all good.
Nobody wants to see Creed go. But Creed has been playing both sides.
I think Creed really needs to learn that he can't have his cake and eat it too.
I feel hurt. I feel disappointed.
Creed played with fire and he got his fingers burned.
Enjoy the last day, everyone.
I feel terrible.
I wasn't 100% honest and I wish I could be.
I just wanted that fairy-tale ending,
but they're both just so amazing, I genuinely couldn't make a decision.
And now that you've had more time to reflect,
are you ready to pick?
And I still can't.
Oh, well.
It's going to be okay.
Tonight has been bittersweet.
Creed has left, but Nick said "I love you" to me,
and I am appreciating this moment.
You're a handsome man.
Creed did do me wrong and Flavia wrong.
We don't deserve this.
I really need to talk to her.
-I didn't expect this at all. -Yeah.
-My heart, like, dropped.
The only thing I wanted from him was the truth.
I think he was a confused boy.
-A very confused boy. -Yeah.
But I'm glad we have each other now.
I'm glad you came.
How do you feel about me taking his spot in your bed now?
Do you want to share beds?
-Please! -Yes!
Well, you know how the old saying goes,
"Creed made his bed,
and now the girls get to lie in it instead."
I have a new partner.
New sleep buddies. Who would've thought?
Creed's gonna be like, "What the fuck?"
Creed, the main chick and your side chick in the bed laughing.
Mmm.
Can you believe we made it to the end?
-Oh, my God!
Obviously, someone is going to win tomorrow.
I feel like I've won.
Aw…
I'm the luckiest man leaving this retreat.
I can't believe Kayla's my girlfriend, considering what I was like at the start.
And I just love the person that she's made me be.
Somebody's about to be $89,000 wealthier.
-Wow. -Hmm.
That's crazy to think about. It doesn't feel real.
I need this money because I've got flights to Scotland to pay for,
and that shit ain't cheap.
Let's hope no one breaks the rules
'cause that could be the difference
between a first class ticket and flying coach.
How did y'all two sleep?
-Amazing. There's good energy here. -Yeah.
Welcome to your final day in the retreat.
We'll make the most of it!
Later on today, I will announce who has won the $89,000 prize fund.
We knocked that down to 59 last night.
What? Did I totally miss that?
What?
What? Nick and Jawahir had sex? Is this for real?
I'm joking.
Kill the tension music.
Phew! False alarm, everybody.
Your faces. Oh, my God!
Me and Jawa, we were the most persistent rule breakers.
But now our connection is something deeper than that.
I'm so in love with her.
There is nothing else in the world that matters.
There are 12 hours left of my retreat. Use them wisely.
-Let's get excited!
Pillow fight!
No!
The countdown is on,
but Lana's not clocking off for vacation just yet.
Correct, Desiree.
My guests still have time to impress me,
and I still have time to surprise them.
In fact, this time, I have devised a brand new set of criteria
to select my finalists.
Gosh, Lana, four seasons in and you still keep me on my toes!
We've all been through something
that's been tough, a bitter pill to swallow.
A few things, man, a few things.
Some more than others. Both of you have been through the war.
It's been a whirlwind for me.
Lana, I'm not going to beg you for this money,
but I would like a check, honestly.
A handwritten check from Lana.
Last time I checked, Lana didn't have hands, James.
Who do you guys really think will win?
I honestly think Seb.
I mean, obviously, we all want to win, so I'm going to back myself first.
But you can't choose yourself so…
If it's not me, I would say Kayla.
Somebody is going to be winning the prize fund today,
and hopefully it's me, but even if it's not,
I will be happy for whoever wins the money.
What would you guys do with $89,000?
Whoo! I want one of those vibrating panties.
Who about to win this money?
I think it might be Nick. Nick just endured a lot of shit here.
Yeesh. Know your audience, Nige.
-Jawa would be a good candidate. -Really?
She came in wild,
she met Nick and then she was, you know, on a good path.
Then she saw me and kind of went off of it,
but she came back and got her green light.
Yeah, they did.
A lot of people went through a lot.
But I ain't go through shite.
My chances of winning? If it's based on connection? Zilch.
If this were a self-awareness retreat, I'd give you top prize.
But before Lana picks her finalists, she's arranged one last workshop.
This final workshop will allow my guests
to look back on the growth they have made in the retreat,
and look forward to their new beginnings
as well-adjusted individuals,
capable of forming healthy, long-lasting, romantic relationships.
And leading today's workshop
is relationship expert and Too Hot fave, Brenden Durell.
Today's workshop is all about
the guests recognizing the growth they've made
since they entered the retreat, this is an opportunity for them
to think about the life they want to live before they return to the outside world.
In front of you, you've this beautiful flag
that's going to represent how your experience has been,
and your life after the retreat.
So you're going to draw what that will look like for you.
Whatever you want to put on this big flag, express yourself.
This is your time to do it.
Yes, let's go guys!
This workshop, it's scary
because it's all about opening up in front of everybody.
Talking about the future makes you feel vulnerable.
I cannot draw for shit.
Everybody is looking like they're drawing like Picasso,
I'm over here on stick figures.
Oh, Shawn, don't wave the white flag just yet.
All right y'all, markers down. Good job.
All right, Nick, let's see your flag. Let's see what you expressed.
All right.
I'm in the middle of the Sun.
The Sun is the life force of everything we got going on.
And I feel, since my time here,
it's really showed me to be vulnerable, to put myself out there
and face those fears as they come.
I was so closed off to the idea of opening up to someone.
But I never expected
that I'd actually find someone who I wanted to open up to.
And in that far left corner, I got a little butterfly
and that represents you.
I've never felt these emotions, I've never felt this type of way.
Thank you, baby.
Me and Nick were on different roller coasters,
but it brought us to one destination, and I am super happy about that.
Ting!
I decided to draw a wave, because even after they crash,
they still bring themselves back together and change into a new form.
That's big.
I have shifted and changed so much in here.
Seeing how hurt James was when I was with Ethan
has made me realize that I am hurting people
when I'm being selfish with my actions.
-Like you feel different? -Yeah.
-100%. Thanks. -I'm super proud of you.
Thank you.
All right, Seb, you're gonna show everybody
the vision you have for yourself post retreat.
So what we have here is the mountain symbolizes the retreat
and the journey I've gone to get to the top.
I'm glad that Kayla's with me at the top.
It's not been easy to climb, but we've managed it.
I used to be very closed off, but now I feel so open.
I came in here as the rascal.
I was scared of commitment,
and with Kayla, I have done the complete opposite.
She's got my heart. And I'm allowing her to have that.
The future is the stars.
We've all learned that we can dream big and nothing's impossible.
It's gorgeous.
I'm extremely proud of Seb.
He trusts me with his heart and I feel like he's learned so much.
So this is the tree of life. I symbolize it as women.
When I find my perfect tree, I'mma water her,
I want to plant my seeds one day, build a forest.
My flag is a phoenix.
I came in here thinking that I was a strong woman,
but I'm leaving actually being one.
I came in cocky, but little did I know, I got knocked down.
I can see that there's more than just beauty,
there's personality, a connection that can be found,
and Jawa definitely helped me find that. Thank you.
Flavia, let's show your flag.
The X here is Peru. The orange is Australia.
After this love triangle, I think friendship is more important than a boy.
Sisters before misters.
Believe it or not, a three-year-old did not draw this.
I've got little people holding hands in there,
and that represents us being able to find friends all around the world.
And there's also fire at the bottom because we are all hot.
-Yes!
-Thank you. -Too hot.
James, what do we have here?
I have Earth as me, the Sun as Lana, and the Moon as Queen B.
How do you see your future together with Brittan?
The possibilities are endless with us.
We set the foundation in this retreat to make something special.
One thing I've learned that I have not been great with,
hearing Brittan out for her opinion and her thoughts,
and I lost Brittan, but I got her back.
I'm the moon, huh?
Mmm-hmm.
All right, Kayla, let's see your flag.
I drew a bunch of butterflies.
I feel in this process,
I've gone from a caterpillar to a butterfly.
I came in a player, but I've really learned
that being open and vulnerable is actually a sign of strength.
It's not just about the chase. The catch is a lot more exciting.
-Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful. -Yeah, thank you.
I'm leaving this retreat with a boyfriend.
I've never been happier.
-That was nice. -Thanks.
Jawahir. Let's see your flag.
This is my flame.
I've always felt like I had some type of fire in me.
And I've been through a lot.
I have learned to let my guard down.
It's okay to feel loved, to deserve love.
I have also learned
that the next best thing isn't always the next best thing.
I've come from very, very, very far.
This retreat has changed me.
I have learned to let love in and to show my vulnerable side,
and I am so, so proud of me today.
This fire is fiery, wild and hot,
like my passion for this beautiful man here.
-Hi, Nick. This one's for you. -Hi. Thank you, babe.
I think Jawa's incredible.
Watching her become the woman she is
and face her fears, it has been absolutely beautiful.
All right, y'all.
This is literally the completion of your work.
This is your flag, like you're hanging your flag high for yourself,
for what you've accomplished.
This will act as a symbol for the new life you want to live.
This is for your future.
This is your moment to celebrate yourself.
You're going to wave your flag to the ocean.
Let's do it!
-Y'all ready? You with me? -Ready.
-Let's do it, let's go!
I admit I can be skeptical, but this is giving me all the feels,
and not a red flag in sight!
Being in this retreat has actually taught everyone so much.
It wakens you up on what you need in life.
One of the things that I learned is that it's okay to be vulnerable.
It's okay to put yourself out there, even though it's hard sometimes.
And I feel loved at this moment and I feel appreciated by Nick.
He sees me for who I am and he doesn't judge me,
and it feels good.
With her final lesson complete,
it's time for Lana to narrow down which of these
newly enlightened souls is going to win that sweet cash prize.
Hello, everyone.
-Hi, Lana. -Hello, Lana.
As you know, the prize fund now stands at $89,000.
It's a whole lot of money!
$89,000?
That is a big amount of money!
This money would change my life.
If I won, I would buy a house covered in mirrors.
Imagine, a Nigel everywhere you look.
That's a wonderful thought.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the least humble of them all?
Since your arrival in the retreat,
I have been observing your behavior.
Your ups and downs, your mistakes, and breakthroughs.
-She knows everything about us. -Everything?
Everything.
Now it's time to announce my finalists.
This is so scary!
I trust Lana's decision.
She knows everybody's journey, and I don't think she's been wrong so far.
While I acknowledge
that you have all shown impressive emotional development…
I agree.
We came really far.
…I have identified four individuals who stand out
for their transformative journeys.
-Four people? -Four?
Wow.
Four finalists? Let's go, Lana. Who you got?
The first finalist is…
I've come a huge distance, but I honestly think everyone deserves it.
Please, Lana!
I have been touching my crystals every night instead of touching myself
and I'm manifesting that you pick me.
…Kayla.
-Please stand.
I'm so happy. Oh, my God!
The second finalist is…
Come on, Lana! Spit it out.
…Seb.
Yes!
Individually, you have both grown.
However, as a pair, you have enabled each other to flourish.
Therefore, I have decided
to nominate you together as a couple.
Being a finalist with Seb means everything to me.
I just know I would never be in this position if it wasn't for him.
Seb and Kayla. You both entered here as players.
You sought out casual connections,
which led to making frivolous relationship choices.
Hi!
When you did connect,
you focused entirely on your physical desires.
Fuck!
But you eventually learned the error of your ways.
You're being selfish and stupid.
I'm so stressed about that now.
Started to feel guilty about what I'd done.
And began to look beyond the physical.
I haven't felt how I feel for you about someone since I was 16 years old,
and I hope it doesn't scare you away.
A hundred percent not.
As a result, your bond has deepened.
To me, she's not a notch. She's more than that.
I feel it every day. It's stronger.
You have left behind your player ways,
and finally learned how to commit.
For as long as I can remember, my emotions have been so shut off.
I've never felt like how I feel with you.
I would like to go the next step, and if you would be my girlfriend…
Yes, Seb, I'll be your girlfriend.
-Couldn't have done it with you. -No, it takes two to tango.
Kayla and Seb have overcome so many hurdles.
They definitely deserve to be in the running for this prize.
I had no expectation whatsoever when I first came in here.
And now look. I've got a girlfriend and I'm a finalist.
That's just mad.
The third finalist is…
Two spots left, Lana. Come on, say my name.
…Nick.
Oh, my God, Nick!
What the hell?
Jeez, it's crazy.
The fourth finalist is…
Lana, please, I need Jawa standing by my side.
Lana, oh, my God, my heart is racing.
I really want it to be me or James. I'm giving you the eyes, Lana.
…Jawahir.
Again, as a pair, you have empowered each other to change.
Therefore, you too, are nominated as a couple.
Oh, my God. Me and Nick are… finalists.
I feel like Jawa deserves it so much.
She has been growing non-stop,
and for her to be standing up with me right now just feels perfect.
I always know what to say, but right now I don't know what to say.
Jawa, you're speechless? What?
Nick and Jawahir.
You both arrived unable to look beyond the physical,
breaking multiple rules.
But the workshops taught you to refocus your sexual energy…
Yeah, so good.
…and also open up emotionally.
My parents gave me away, I was adopted,
so I have this fear that I'm not worth loving.
I don't want people to come so close to me that they leave me or hurt me.
Your bond has been tested.
Why do they call you Big Shawn?
You're going to have to find out.
What the fuck, man?
I am going to sleep next to Shawn tonight.
Yeah.
Even when facing adversity, you did so with honesty and openness.
You need your space. I will give you your space,
but you need to tell me what it is you want.
And, after digging deep,
you've realized your relationship was worth fighting for.
I've never opened my heart to anyone.
And I am terrified, I'm terrified.
I've said "I love you" in my head so many times.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Finalists. Later this evening, I will reveal the winning couple.
Seb and Kayla, Nick and Jawahir.
Please make your way to the beach and await further instructions.
-Yes, Lana. -Thank you, Lana.
-Thank you, guys. -I love you guys!
I've actually got to agree with Lana on this.
Both couples have grown so much and really deserve to be finalists.
I just feel like, "Ahhh! What is going on?"
From rulebreakers to finalists!
Okay, I know you're excited, guys, but keep it down.
You're distracting the others
from holding their seriously, serious important moment faces.
Remaining guests.
You have been with Seb and Kayla,
and Jawahir and Nick, every step of the way.
Therefore, the decision for which couple will win lies with you.
This is a very intense moment.
Tough one.
We have to separate friendship from growth.
We gotta choose wisely.
Says the man who'd spend 89 grand on a house of mirrors.
But, seriously, do choose wisely.
It is now time for you to privately place your votes.
Okay.
I feel like it's two good couples, but one hard decision.
Both of these couples are very strong.
Seb and Kayla have been through so many tests and passed them,
and so have Nick and Jawahir.
To me, there's really only one couple that can win this.
I've seen them go through trials and tribulations
to make it to where they are.
Both couples have been on a crazy ride, so it's a hard decision.
This couple stood out to me
because of their honesty and commitment with one another.
I do see both sides, but for me I think I know where my vote's going.
Considering everything…
I'm going to vote for…
The couple who gets my vote…
I'm voting for…
-I'm going to vote for… -I'm going to vote for…
So the couple I'm going to vote for is…
Zip it, folks.
Lana will announce the winner tonight,
and not a moment before.
And everyone will be wearing white!
Been a long time coming, boys. Long time coming.
You know the crazy part? I don't feel like having sex.
What the hell? Oh, my gosh! Man, Nigel's a changed man.
-Changed man. -Don't wanna be late.
Is that prosecco?
Yes.
-Cheers to Lana! -Cheers!
Cheers!
And our long, hard, sexless summer!
And it's coming to an end.
I can't believe what we've been through to how we are now.
-It's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. -It's nuts.
We've just all been going through so many emotions
and pushing ourselves to be better.
But I'm so happy
that I've been able to share this experience with these people.
It's beautiful.
-We just needed to learn… -Yeah.
…the physical and emotional can actually be separated.
Came in a player, and now I'm leaving with my head high and a smile on my face.
But, of course, I would love to win.
-Thank you all very much. Love y'all. -Thank you so much. I love you!
Thank you, guys. Love you.
Whoever Lana is about to say, they completely deserve it. 100%.
Cue smoldering slo-mo sequence of our smoking hot finalists.
-Hey! Here are the couples! -Finalists!
Am I really here? Is this real?
It's so crazy to think about this is coming to an end,
but I'm so happy
that I've been able to share this experience with everyone here.
Okay, guys.
Thank you for the beautiful experience, the beautiful memories,
and I will hold them dearest to my heart for the rest of my life.
-Turn to the drink. -100%.
We've all been on our own journey, and we've all come so far.
It's the same faces, but different insides.
-Feces? -Same faces.
Come on, guys, let's not poo-poo his accent.
-Faces. -I know.
That's nasty as fuck.
Honestly, the crap I have to put up with.
Good evening, everyone.
Good evening, Lana.
During your time at my retreat, you have broken my rules 12 times.
-Geez! -Oh.
-God damn! -Safe to say y'all was having fun.
Sorry, guys.
Over the course of your stay, I've observed people commit to the process,
and ultimately make a significant change.
You did a good job, Lana, so credit's to you.
-Yeah, that's a big thing. -Yay!
Finalists, your fellow retreat guests have been voting for the winning couple.
Fuck.
I'm glad I wasn't in your shoes 'cause I wouldn't know who to choose.
The time has come to announce the winners.
Finalists, please stand up.
It is nerve-racking!
The votes have been counted,
and only one couple can check out with the $89,000 prize fund.
I know who my vote is, but I'm not sure what everybody else's is.
My heart is pounding. Who is Lana going to give the $89,000 to?
It could go either way right now.
The winning couple, by six votes to one, is…
I trust that the guests are going to pick the right person.
…Nick and Jawahir.
Hey!
Oh, my God!
-$89,000! -$89,000!
Whoo!
Yeah.
-Oh, my God! -Yeah!
-What the fuck! -Yeah!
We may not have won,
but I think I still win because I have the best man here.
Money is easy to make, love is hard to find.
Yeah, well said.
Yo!
I love you, bro!
Always wanted the best for Jawa. I care about her unconditionally.
They deserve it, they deserve this so much.
In the end, I think they have the most genuine connection.
You go, Nick and Jawa!
I'm so excited!
Nick and Jawa deserved that money,
they earned it, and that's why I voted for them.
I think this is definitely the right decision tonight,
and I'm so excited to see where their journey takes them.
Guys, we're all winners, let's party!
My retreat is officially over. The rules no longer apply.
No rules! But wait, who am I kissing then?
I'm so proud of the guests and how they've grown.
Any final words of wisdom, Seb and Kayla?
It was such an amazing experience
and we can't wait to get out of here and shag.
-Shag? -I said it!
-You wantin' to pump me? -Yeah.
Oh, well, Rome wasn't built in a day.
Ooh!
At least he said his heart was swelling instead of his--
