Too Hot to Handle: Brazil

Yes this is guilty pleasure TV for me when I just want to shut my brain off. What I do like about this THTH unlike love island UK which I hate, is that race never really feels like a factor. Especially with this Brazilian version given how massively ethnically diverse the country is and you really see that here.

Its really fascinating to see human beings even when presented with the chance to win a pile of cash fall to their innate urge to have sex and it really shows the power of it vs money that we have been conditioned is existentially critical. But when we are faced with a highly attractive human on a hot island villa. We as humans alnoat disregard the need for money, in favour of our innate urges , we almost dismiss money entirely. And those who are a bit more strong minded still end up conflicted and they too end up breaking the rules.

I dont know whether it is the producers nailing the formula after the English version, giving them more alcohol and parties. Or whether it is a cultural differences in sexual relationships and communication or a bit of both. But right from the start they are all very outspoken and very sexually touchy feely, direct and full on with each other. It really hit me hard and they a seem to argue with each other...... Alot! There seems to be more drama each episode than 2 seasons of the English version. It is great and I think it is the best version of this series.

The title says it all. Young people are usually pretty clueless but this lot out of Brazil takes the award for the least brains ever. If they let dogs be the main characters it would show more awareness and depth than these shallow clueless participants. It's not just the sex that qualifies them as brain dead but their complete unawareness of how decent people are or at least how regular people mature out of their lustful and hurtful behavior. The hypocrisy of lecturing one's partner just to go make out with a same sex contestant and still feel morally superior is laughable. Yes, I watched the show (a few episodes) and get to give my opinion because that is what this rating is for... I'm not superior for having watched this but my IQ has gone down about 20-25 points.

I watched this with my brother every nigh while smoking and we had the best time.
