Brand new dating show Too Hot to Handle is part Love Island, part Love is Blind, and totally addictive.
The reality show from Netflix puts a brand new twist on the tried and tested genre. While we’ve seen sexy singletons stranded in a villa before, Too Hot to Handle requires its contestants to remain celibate in order to win a share of $100,000. Any sexual contact – be it just a kiss or more, results in money being deducted from the pot.
While some of the contestants have decided to use this time to focus more on building emotional connections with one another instead of relying on the physical, Haley Cureton seems less invested in the process.
After instigating a steamy kiss with Francesca Farago in order to deliberately subtract money from the prize fund, the sixth episode saw the show start with the news that Haley had left the retreat.
Here’s just why Haley had to exit Too Hot to Handle…
Why did Haley leave Too Hot to Handle?
It seems there’s more to Too Hot to Handle Alexa-esque’s Lana than barking out orders – as it apparently has the power to ‘evict’ contestants.
Backtracking to the night before she was asked to leave, Lana told the group: “Haley. I have been evaluating your performance so far.

"Having a positive impact on the group as a whole: fail. Showing signs of personal growth: fail. Obeying the rules: fail.
"Insufficient progress has been made. Haley, your time in the retreat is over."
It seems only right Haley had to leave the process; earlier, she was overheard saying she wished there was some sort of ‘elimination ceremony’ so she could quit, and she seemed distinctly unruffled at being asked to leave.
She’d also mightily annoyed the other contestants after she kissed Francesca and kept it secret.
However, Francesca said she missed Haley when she left – but it wasn’t unexpected she’d be forced out.
Speaking to Women’s Health, Francesca explained: “She always had my back 100-percent, but it was foreseen that she was gonna go."
Haley’s exit also paved the way for newcomers Kori, Madison, and Lydia to cause more temptation in the retreat.
