TKCA 1ZZ, TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS: Lana's back, baby! And this time, Netflix's hottest reality show, 'Too Hot to Handle', has undergone a huge transformation.

Newbie Cristian Lager was added to the show in Season 6, Episode 4, and he caused some important ties to shake. When Lana decided to add newcomers to the retreat to test contestants's ties, Cristian proved to be a stumbling block in Louis Russell and Katherine LaPrell's burgeoning romance.

Are Cristian Lager and Katherine LaPrell still together in 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6?

Louis, a Season 5 alum, returns to Lana's retreat in Episode 2 of Season 6. He professed interest in Katherine, and the two have already broken numerous rules.

They did, however, face the final test by spending the night away from the others while adhering to all the rules. They were challenged again when Katherine was taken on a date with new lad Cristian, and while she appeared to enjoy the evening, she later informed Louis that she was only interested in him.

Will their romance last? Guess we'll have to wait till the next episode to find out.
