And so, the Too Hot To Handle season 5 has come to an end 😌.

We don’t know about you, but for us it was a looong journey. Definitely worth it tho!

We saw all the ups and down that the contestants went through and their growth. Very well done peeps. But let’s talk about winners, shall we?

Too Hot To Handle season 5 was actually very different from others. Instead of picking a winner-couple Lana paid tribute to those who were on the *beautiful* journey of self-rediscovering. And we are so here for it.

Two contestants were chosen as finalists. First was Elys who struggled with commitment and didn’t want to open up. But the blondie ended up asking Alex herself to be her boyfriend. Screaming “equality” rn.

The second one was Dre who came to Too Hot To Handle season 5 as a real player who eventually switched his focus to money 🤑. He did ghost Linzy after the share a spicy ~smooch~ in bathroom but later reflected on the reason for it and grew.

Who won Too Hot To Handle season 5?

In the finale, contestants need to vote for a person who deserves to win the most. Yup, back to tough decisions. Elys became a winner and got $100,000 grand prize. But that’s not all!

She decided to split the money with Dre, so they got $50,000 each. Christine said it showed that Elys was well-deserving of the prize, and we could not agree more. Kudos to the angel the blondie is 🥹!

But… Did Louis and Alex leave the show and chose money over love? Find the answer here.
