Spoiler warning.

Too Hot to Handle season 5 crowned its winner: Elys Hutchinson.

After 10 episodes of observing cone Lana lay down the law at her sex-free retreat in paradise, the forged used to be tasked with choosing between costars Elys, 23, and Dre Woodard for the impressive $100,000 prize fund. (The financial pot were diminished from the initial $200,000 after numerous rule breaks throughout the season.) After going back and forth, the Switzerland-based ski teacher used to be proclaimed the champ.

“My head is actually spinning, however I don’t assume it’s me,” Elys — who (*5*) — quipped in a confessional moments prior to Lana said her name. “Me! What?”

While Dre, 23, famous that he “may have completed so much with that cash” to beef up his family, he was ecstatic for his pal Elys. The newly topped victor then surprised the cast and viewers alike together with her plans for the $100,000.

“I was no longer anticipating this to happen to me and this is simply, like, severely humbling. This retreat has actually modified my lifestyles and $100,000 is life-changing,” Elys gushed, earlier than turning to Dre. “Would you prefer to split the money [in half] with me?”

Dre humbly accredited Elys’ offer — and their fellow Too Hot to Handle contestants were touched via her gesture. Christine Obanor, for her part, even noted by the use of confessional that it further proved that Elys used to be “deserving” of the victory.

“She is a beautiful, sort soul,” Dre — who served as the self-appointed Too Hot to Handle “detective” to stop guests from breaking the rules — gushed in his personal confessional. “Elys, I love you. You have single-handedly modified my existence and allowing me to give my family their very best lifestyles, but she has a special place in my center.”

He continued: “I like you, Elys. You’re a gem, a fantastic gem. You’re a hidden jewel, straight-up.”

Season 5 of Too Hot to Handle premiered previous this month as a new class of sexed-up singletons had been despatched to Lana’s tropical retreat to learn how to prioritize emotional connections over purely physical ones. After Isaac Francis and Hannah Brooke had been eliminated hours earlier than the final day, Lana had some other trick up her sleeve, which might probably disqualify Louis Russell and Alex, 28, from being eligible for the general prize.

Both Louis, 22, and Alex expressed doubts about committing to their respective companions — Christine, 26, and Elys — before Lana issued them an ultimatum. The virtual robotic presented them a possibility to go away the retreat early without their partners in alternate for $25,000. If they grew to become down the offer in a Love Island-esque “love or money” twist, they might forfeit the chance to win the grand prize. The twosome ultimately made up our minds to decline Lana’s surprise be offering, which for Alex intended transferring forward with Elys after she asked him to be her respectable boyfriend.
