Don’t call, don’t text: Season 5 of Too Hot To Handle premiered today, and I’ll be preoccupied for the better part of a month binge-watching this show. I mean, what else is a girl to do? Especially since Season 5 is full of drama (seriously, they’ve spent so much money so far), I’m gearing up to talk about this season all month long. Prepare to be sick of me.
Too Hot To Handle isn’t your typical reality dating show. ICYMI, THTH focuses on a cast of hot, horned-up singles who think they’re competing on a sexy reality show. In reality, they’ve actually been shipped off to a retreat where they learn how to form meaningful connections outside of sex. To do this, there’s a major rule: there is to be no physical intimacy of any kind. No kissing, no sex, even no masturbation. And while this may seem easy for most of us, it always proves to be harder than expected for the cast.
However, couples always form on the show — and I often find myself wondering if they’re really compatible beyond the beach. So, for the astrology-obsessed out there, I took the liberty of analyzing the zodiac compatibility of the Season 5 couples. While the signs of some key players are missing, here’s what I uncovered about the astrological compatibility of the cast members we do know.
- Isaac & Courtney: Drama, drama, drama.
-
Isaac is a Scorpio man (*clutches pearls*) while Courtney is a Leo woman. So, this union can go one of two ways: either really great, or really terrible.
Scorpios are a naturally sensual sign, as are Leos — so the physical connection is inherently great. However, Scorpios have a tendency to be calculated and closed off, and the firey Leo may grow impatient, angry, and jealous when it comes to their partner. While this duo can definitely have an amazing connection, it’ll take a lot of honest communication to have a healthy, meaningful relationship.
- Alex & Elys: This can get messy.
-
Elys and Alex are a Leo and Pisces pairing — which is oftentimes a recipe for a wild ride. The physical connection between these signs can be quite strong: Pisceans are often attracted to the charisma and energy of Leos, and Leos seek comfort in the dreamy Pisces.
However, these signs are very different, especially in terms of their communication and relationship styles. They definitely have the capacity to make it work, but it takes some compromise and trust on both sides: Leo must be willing to open up, and Pisces has to learn to give their partner the space they need.
- Louis & Christine: Unknown (but I’m still scared).
-
Finally, the hottest couple on the beach, Louis and Christine, have been through a ton of drama so far. However, it’s a complete mystery when it comes to Louis’ zodiac sign. While Christine is a Taurus, I haven’t been able to find anything on Louis’ birthday. But, once I find out, you’ll be the first to know.
