PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS, AND CAICOS ISLANDS: 'Too Hot To Handle' star Ethan Smith arrived on the show later than the rest of the cast. The self-proclaimed "bad boy", who won every girl's heart upon his arrival, left earlier than expected. However, fans don't seem to mind as his conversations gave them the "ick".

Season 4 of 'Too Hot To Handle' revealed Ethan Smith as a wild card participant. The reality show emphasizes emotional bonding over sexual intimacy. When the first few episodes of 'Too Hot To Handle' were released, contestants began to bond emotionally as well as physically. Lana introduced two newcomers, one of whom was Ethan, to test the depth of the bond between these sizzling couples. With his tattooed body and manly figure, he won over every girl's heart. When Ethan arrived, he picked Sophie Stonehouse but was unable to get Creed McKinnon out of her heart. Later, he developed feelings for Brittan Byrd, who was linked to James Pendergrass.

Ethan's appeal caused a schism between two couples in the first few 'Too Hot To Handle' Season 4 episodes he appeared in. In the episode titled 'It's Raining Love Triangles', the cast was shown dancing to the new tracks. Lana, however, interrupts to inform that two individuals will be departing as they are not dedicated to the process. Ethan was the first one announced to be going home. "Ethan, you have chosen to focus your attention exclusively on physical desires," Lana stated. He moved from Sophie to Brittan before complimenting newcomer Imogen Ewan about her boobs. Ethan further said that he'll shag as soon as he gets home.
