Too Hot To Handle: How much does each rule break cost?-Elizabeth Atkin-Entertainment – Metro
Even a kiss costs an eye-watering sum.

Netflix’s sex-free dating show Too Hot To Handle is back for a fourth series.
Hmmm, well it’s supposed to be sex-free, as an attractive line-up of singles from around the globe getting to know each other on a deep, meaningful level – or at least that’s what the show’s ever-watchful ‘virtual assistant’ Lana tells us anyway.
But the celibacy (supposedly a surprise for contestants) never seems to last very long.
After all, they’re all scantily-clad, lounging around in gorgeously sunny beachside villa – with little else to keep them occupied but getting with each other.
However, Lana really doesn’t appreciate rule breaks, and docks the $200,000 (£163,554) or $100,000 (£81,777) prize money every time a contestant engages in any sort of sexual contact.
So, how much does a kiss cost them? A fumble under the covers? Or having sex? Here’s what we’ve learned from past seasons.
How much does each rule break cost on Too Hot To Handle?
From past series, we’ve been able to gather how much each rule break on Too Hot To Handle costs.
Perhaps the most common of all the rule breaks is a simple kiss.
The price isn’t so simple though, as just one snog can set the prize pot back $3,000 (£2,453).
That was the case in series one and two, but in the third series, kisses cost double that at $6,000 (£4,906) for the likes of Izzy and Truth, along with Stevan and Georgia.

In series two, Cam and Emily engaged in sexual activity on a few occasions – one costing the group $4,000 (£3,271) and another $5,000 (£4,089). Though it’s not entirely clear what happened.
Back in series one, Francesca said she ‘went down under’ on then-partner Harry, costing the group $6,000.
In series two, Chase and Tabitha also engaged in sexual activity, with their rule break costing $7,000 (£5,724).
Full intercourse cost an eye-watering $20,000 (£16,355) a pop – as Melinda and Marvin found out in series two, and Francesca and Harry discovered in series one.
The price went up in series three for Holly and Nathan, after a night together cost the group a whopping $36,000 (£29,439).

We’d be remiss not to mention Holly and Nathan’s collective rule breaks, which tallied $141,000 (£115,305) in total – a show record – though they did manage to win back $90,000 (£73,599) for the group in the end.
Even masturbation comes at a price – $2,000 (£1,635) to be precise.
How much the contestants will be fined this series is up for debate, as Lana might decide to hike her prices.
Guess you’ll just have to wait and see what happens…
Too Hot To Handle series 4 is back on Netflix on December 7.
