Too Hot to Handle season two is streaming on Netflix now after more than one year of waiting. The reality series continues to hold its spot in the Netflix Top 10 and everybody wants to know which couples are still together, who is still friends, and all of the behind-the-scenes gossip from the show.

The Extra Hot: Too Hot to Handle Reunion recently took place, where the contestants addressed their time on the show and where they are now, six months after meeting at the Too Hot to Handle villa.

When Was 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 2 Filmed?

The latest series saw 10 sexy singletons try to resist temptation in a bid to win the $100,000 prize. In the end, Marvin Anthony was crowned the winner, taking home $55,000.

Speaking at the reunion, Anthony revealed he had not decided whether he was going to split the money with his former partner, Melinda Melrose, or how he was going to spend the money once he received his rightful winnings.

Cam Holmes and Emily Miller, the only couple still together from the series have recently moved in together and have been inseparable ever since the show ended.

Filming for Too Hot to Handle took place in November 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaking to Buzzfeed, Too Hot to Handle season two contestant Holmes reflected: "[It was] when COVID was just very bad, so it was just so nice going there—but coming home was horrible because we went into lockdown the day after!"

The 10 contestants were tricked into believing they were taking part in an entirely different show—Parties in Paradise—but soon learned they had walked straight into Too Hot to Handle.

Sticking to the rules of no sex, no self-gratification, and no heavy-petting must have been even tougher for the contestants, considering they had experienced several lockdowns and quarantine before filming took place.

Season one of Too Hot to Handle was filmed in Mexico but for season two, the sexy singletons headed to Turks and Caicos in the Caribbean.

The villa, named Turtle Tail Estate, is located on Providenciales island, at the top of the Turtle Tail peninsula.

The Turtle Tail Estate is reportedly worth $25 million, and hosts five bedrooms, a pool, gym, 12 bathrooms, and two private beaches.

According to The Turtle Tail Estate website, the villa is available to the public and also sports a home cinema, a tennis court as well as a private chef.

Previous famous guests to the Too Hot to Handle villa include Rihanna and Diddy (formerly P. Diddy).

Which Couples Are Still Together From 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 2?

Only one couple from the series has officially confirmed they are still together.

Cam Holmes and Emily Miller revealed at the Extra Hot: The Reunion they had moved in together earlier this year.

Miller also teased wedding bells are definitely on the cards and shared she wants to have children with Holmes.

She even joked they would name their baby girl Lana to pay homage to Too Hot to Handle.

Sadly, Melinda Melrose and Marvin Anthony called it quits on their relationship after a fallout before they were supposed to meet in Mexico.

Melrose reflected: "I was just so sad. Honestly, at that point, I just wanted to be by myself. I was just heartbroken that a small argument would make him cancel the whole trip."

Thankfully, the split is amicable and the pair had nothing but nice things to say about each other, including admitting they still love one another.

Marvin teased: "I don't know what is going to happen, we will see."

Chase and Tabitha, Carly and Joey, and Robert and Christina all shared at the reunion they were still in touch, but managed to avoid answering any real questions regarding the status of their relationship.

Too Hot to Handle seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Netflix now.
