Netflix’s ‘Too Hot to Handle’ emphasizes resisting short-term intimacy urges to foster deeper, long-lasting connections. Contestants must follow strict rules, challenging them to reinvent themselves to win the game. In the sixth season, Joao Coronel was utterly floored by Flavia Laos from the moment they met. Their connection was instant and electrifying, suggesting they might give in to their impulses. However, both adhered to the rules and maintained discipline while living in the house. They connected organically, allowing them to get to know each other more meaningfully.
Joao Took the Initiative to Form a Connection with Flavia
In the second episode, when Lana announced that two contestants from previous seasons would be joining, Joao Coronel expressed his hope that Flavia Laos would be one of them, and his wish came true. When he saw her, he was captivated and tried to impress her in various ways. During her first conversation with all the male contestants, Joao spoke with her in Spanish and mentioned feeling an evident spark between them. Therefore, he was shocked when she chose to go on a date with Jordan Frank.
When Flavia returned from the date, Jordan told everyone that he felt it had gone very well and there was potential for a connection to grow. Joao then took matters into his own hands, approached Flavia, and asked if she felt the same about Jordan. She admitted that the date wasn’t as exciting for her. Seizing the opportunity, Joao asked if she would like to see how things would progress between them. Flavia was interested and agreed to share a bed with him, much to Joao’s excitement. From then on, the two were inseparable, spending most of their time together and getting to know each other better. The pair made an honest attempt to connect more deeply and were given the green light by Lana to express their feelings. Being rewarded for their efforts was quite a morale booster for them and they strived to continue in the same manner.
Joao and Flavia Have Gone in Different Directions
Joao and Flavia took their time with things and adhered to the rules of the game. However, things changed when bombshell Jalen came into the picture and the latter found herself intrigued, only to realize she was reverting to her old habits and pushing away a good thing. So, she decided to be honest with Joao, but he was hurt that she could even think about moving on and was unsure if he could forgive her. He sang a song to her through which he communicated that he could not see this relationship going forward. Flavia felt that the gesture was not appropriate but came around to understanding where he came from.
The two of them have confirmed that they are no longer together but are each other’s best friends and close confidants. Since Flavia is established in Lima, Peru, and Joao hails from Porto Alegre, Brazil, maintaining a romantic relationship would have been challenging. Their busy schedules must have impeded their connection, but working in the same industry allows them to better understand each other’s work and lifestyle. The fact that they have found a way to have a relationship different to what was seen on the season, is a testament of their maturity and the long way they have both come since then.
