BOGOTA, COLOMBIA: The second new face we meet in 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6, Episode 4, is Colombian model Valentina Rueda Velez, who is 23 years old. Having a reputation for treating boys like "playthings," she asserts that her success rate with guys is 1000 percent since they are powerless over her.

Valentina was searching for a strong man who could handle her fiery Latina personality when she arrived at the retreat.

Valentina remained primarily alone for the rest of the season after a brief time with DeMari Davis, which nearly ended the relationship between the eventual 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 champions, Brianna "Bri" Balram and DeMari. However, this did not last long, as the Colombian model left the program in Episode 8, citing ‘personal reasons’, according to the producers.

What happened between Valentina Rueda Velez and DeMari Davis in 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6?

Before Valentina arrived, she was given complete freedom in selecting a date. Valentina opted for a private date with DeMari.

Before she arrived, DeMari had Bri as his connection. The date went well, so DeMari kissed Valentina.

Bri was upset with DeMari after suspecting such things. DeMari decides to stick with Bri, with whom he originally connected, and let Valentina handle things on her own after having to make a difficult choice about her and 'Too Hot to Handle' rookie Valentina.
