Every so often, I take a few days' break from doing all this hard work on blog posts like this and my YouTube vlogs, and drive with my family over for a weekend with my sister, brother-in-law and their kids. There, we get to spend some quality time in the peacefulness of their gorgeous house replete with an amazing backyard, a nearby wine vineyard and a local golf course as this blogger/vlogger unwinds from working my tail off and just relaxing. That is, even if I have to deal with their newest family member - an adorable little puppy.

In many of these visits, I've had the fortune of getting an entire family room to myself to sleep on the couch and enjoy the over 160+ videos I've posted on YouTube of my Vegas adventures. And in one of those this summer with everyone fast asleep, I decided to use my sister's Netflix account to briefly sample the kinds of shows that you all are obsessed with, but those that feel foreign in my own house because my parents mainly watch slot videos, news, sports and The Bachelor franchise, and of course me with being into MTV Reality shows, sports, music and everything related to Las Vegas.

You might remember back earlier this summer we made a mention about this King Kong of streaming platforms making a deeper dive into its own original reality programming even with having just added the first two seasons of Are You The One? and about to add two each seasons of The Challenge and Teen Mom to a couple Survivor seasons to their lineup - and the first one now being a top ten series on the platform. And while we discussed a star of Love Is Blind who is now both engaged and expecting, another one of those Netflix shows is this post's subject, and not long ago he joined with the most visible alum of the same AYTO season that gave us the Real Deal.

Back last spring, Too Hot to Handle premiered on Netflix and unlike Love is Blind and The Circle which were released on a week-by-week basis, the entire first season was made available all at once like most other series on the platform. When the fourteen singles that comprised the show's cast from all over the world moved into a beach-side resort in Mexico, they thought that they would be going onto that standard run-of-the-mill dating show to try and look for love. And on the first night, they were led to believe that this was just gonna be another one of those shows... but after a night of kisses and hookups, they got a mix of both good and bad news.
