Speaker 0 00:00:01 Netflix released a new season of it's hit reality TV show, too hot to handle on January 19th. Everyone's favorite robot Lana returns to ensure this new round of contestants will be able to form genuine relationships with each other without having to rely on physical affection with more prize money involved than ever before. The stakes for this season are higher than ever with its addictive quality and bizarre scenarios to aught to handle has been able to gain a loyal following. I was able to binge the new season with my roommate, Weinberg freshmen, Kier Ambler, who has been a viewer of the show since its debut.
Speaker 1 00:00:38 Uh, so I started watching too hot to handle was season one. Uh, cause I remember it came out, uh, like during the, during quarantine, I think it was in 2020. Um, and I didn't really have them to do so. I, I watched season one. Yeah.
Speaker 0 00:00:55 Weinberg freshmen, Austin shoe also found himself pulled in by all the excitement.
Speaker 2 00:01:02 Um, I haven't really watched reality shows it just my friend recommended to me. And then I thought was pretty interesting cause like every episode ends on a cliffhanger. So you just want to like keep watching it and see what happens. So yeah, the first two shooting pretty quick,
Speaker 0 00:01:19 Um, blur noted that the contestants are a major part of what keeps her coming back with each new season.
Speaker 1 00:01:25 I always think the people on the show are really funny. Um, I don't think they're trying to be, but they're always really funny to watch and just there, they always find really entertaining people
Speaker 0 00:01:36 For a shoe. It's the entry created by Lana the show's resident robot surveillance system.
Speaker 2 00:01:43 So I think she like makes the whole show. Interesting and yeah, so like, I don't know, just like her rules are kind of like what you look forward to.
Speaker 0 00:01:56 So what makes the show so addictive here are their responses.
Speaker 1 00:02:01 I honestly don't know. Like it's one of the only reality shows that I've actually sat down and watched entire season. Usually when I watch dating shows, I always end up just Googling who ends up with who? But like I think it's just, it's short, it's shorter than a lot of shows. Um, certainly 10 episodes and it also just has that fun, dramatic aspect. I think it's, it's like a little bit different than other dating shows.
Speaker 2 00:02:29 I just thought the last, like every season, no, like every episode ends on a cliffhanger. So you just want to see what happens next. And it seems like any rules abroad in the next day or like, cause like every episode ends on like a big event. So someone see what happens next,
Speaker 0 00:02:47 Despite tuning into the show with each new season, Ambler noted some major problems with its themes.
Speaker 1 00:02:53 I mean, I think for some in some ways, yes, to watch just sort of throw away thousands of dollars, just sort of, you know, it's, it's a bit insensitive, not a bit it's very insensitive. Um, so I do think that's yeah.
Speaker 0 00:03:14 Finally I asked her opinions on the new season. Here's what she had to say,
Speaker 1 00:03:20 Honestly. Um, I thought it was worse. It's not like a super high quality show, so it's a hard thing to judge, but um, I thought the, I didn't really like a single man on the show. The C like the, it was just not a good group of men. So I think it was worse. I mean, I like, I, I only really like watching it with other people. Like I don't, it's kind of one of those shows where you have to be sort of watching it and making fun of it with a lot of people. So I wouldn't say, you know, this is a show you have to sit down and watch
Speaker 0 00:03:54 While there has been talk about the release of a season four. It has not yet been confirmed for now. Seasons one through three are available to watch on Netflix for WMUR news. This is Izzy Perrera.
