TKCA 1ZZ, TURKS & CAICOS ISLANDS: Even if your partner kissed someone else during their single date, and you had the opportunity to do the same, two wrongs don't make a right, right? In the second batch of Season 6 episodes of 'Too Hot to Handle', Brianna "Bri" Balram wrestles with this dilemma.

Just when she and Demari Davis have restored their fledgling romance, Lana decides to place Bri on a date with Jalen Olomu-Brown, a novice "grenade" coming to spice things up.

Everyone, including the narrator Desiree Burch, asks if Bri kissed Jalen as Episode 7 comes to a close. And since Demari is finally all in and has no interest in anyone else, it is also the first priority on his mind.

But given how severely Demari's identical offense hurt Bri, would she truly want to even the odds in this manner?

Did Bri Balram kiss Jalen Olomu-Brown during 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6 date?

'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6, Episode 7, closes with the question of Bri kissing Jalen hanging in the air. Additionally, viewers could have a decent picture of what probably transpired between Bri and the new guy, even if she doesn't tell Demari what occurred on the date.

Based on the teaser for the following season, it seems unlikely that Bri and Jalen shared a kiss. There's a scene where Bri and Demari are making out on the beach that you won't want to miss.

And for the finale, Bri and Demari are seated together on a couch.

'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6's final few episodes suggest that Bri and Demari are still together, which suggests that she did not kiss Jalen despite her intense desire to do so.

Jalen catches sight of Flavia Laos in another scene in the teaser, however, she isn't seated next to her current partner, Joao Coronel, at the end.

Will Demari Davis quit 'Too Hot to Handle' Season 6?

Demari declares that he is "done" if he discovers that Bri kissed Jalen on their date, which is another reason one might think that Bri and Jalen did not share a kiss. Bri most likely didn't kiss Jalen because Demari is shown in the trailer for Episodes 8–10 and is present.

Or maybe, just because it's a remote possibility right now, Demari broke his vow and decided to stay with Bri.

Demari Davis kissed 'THTH' Season 6 newbie Valentina Rueda Vélez leading to split from Bri Balram

Bri and Demari first broke up when Demari succumbed to temptation and kissed Valentina Rueda Vélez when she came as a grenade, then went on a solo date with him. In theory, Bri would have plenty of ammunition to confront Demari on her own date with a new person at the retreat.

But she and Demari could be in such a good position that she doesn't want to jeopardize what they've accomplished. Lana must feel proud.
