TKCA 1ZZ, TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS: On 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6, Episode 7, things got really hot when Lana decided to take a swing at two of the competitors. Everyone was surprised on the retreat when Lana decided to exclude Season 5 alum Louis Russell from the show.

Lana focused on Louis after eliminating Kylisha Jag and offering Chris A Alli a second chance in the competition. According to the AI host, Louis should have known better than to repeat the same mistakes over and over.

Even when Louis has developed love relationships, they have been solely physical. For these reasons, the second individual to leave the retreat became Louis.

'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 star Louis Russell feels reckless and a bit stupid

Louis stated in his confessional that he was reluctant to leave the retreat. Louis believed that it was appropriate at the time, but he spent an astounding amount of money on something that he felt meant something, which he now believes "was just reckless and a bit stupid" of him.

"I came in here thinking I was Louis 2.0," Louis told the cameras.

Katherine LaPrell's news that she wants to get to know Charlie Jeer is somewhat humiliating for Louis. Then he swiftly moved on from the issue with Gianna Pettus, which he subsequently realized was not appropriate.

And, he understands that now. "But I just can't control myself sometimes," he sighs.

Louis Russell cost 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 cast over $50K

During their initial encounter, Katherine and Louis engaged in an impromptu makeout session that resulted in several awkward moments. The three times they kissed nonstop cost $6K apiece, for a total of $18K spent by the group.

Episode 5: According to Lana, the group was punished for many rule violations that were committed by individuals who were unable to take responsibility for their actions. Louis and Katherine were the pair that disregarded the rules the most.

Together, they took a shower that was more about touching than it was about cleaning—the mammary glands in particular. Not only that, but their four kisses and mutual manual fulfillment have cost the group $40K.

Although Lana never said if Louis' kiss with Gianna cost the group anything, his most recent sexual encounter did cost him his seat in the retreat.

Is 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 star Louis Russell single now?

It should come as no surprise that Louis posts smoldering selfies and modeling photos on his Instagram. In addition, he is active on TikTok, where he shares dances, lip-syncs, and sly commentary about his experiences on 'Too Hot to Handle'.

Although Louis presented himself as a Hampshire, England-based semi-pro football player, his true occupation is that of a fashion model. He is represented by Forte Model Management, and the agency's website features his portfolio.

Louis is probably single, although he recently posted a number of pictures to Instagram, two of which included a woman without her face showing. Louis appears to be doing well thus far.
