The first episodes for the latest season for "Too Hot to Handle," the reality dating competition show with an abstinent twist, is set to return to screens this week.

Season 6 will stream on Netflix in July, with new episodes airing in three batches. The show centers on a group of single people who are placed in a house together in a tropical location and are forbidden from kissing (or doing anything else) in order to keep money from being taken out of the grand prize.

Previous seasons have surprised contestants with the show's chaste premise, but Netflix it put out an open casting call for Season 6, so for the first time, contestants know exactly what they're signing up for.
