Too Hot To Handle season 5 introduced Louis Russell, a British babe who came to the series ready to break a few hearts. While Louis seems sweet, he's a hot commodity, so much so several women found themselves vying for his affection immediately. Though Lana's ban changed things for Louis' relationships, he's still one of the most memorable personalities from Too Hot To Handle season 5; however, after finding out he was going to have to play by Lana's rules, Louis took matters into his own hands. He eventually tried to take Lana's teachings seriously in the first episodes.

He broke the rules multiple times with his original bedmate, Hannah Brooke, and then on the side with Christine Obanor. While he cost the rest of the Too Hot To Handle season 5 cast quite a bit of money, Louis saw the error of his ways and expressed that he felt tremendous guilt surrounding the fact that he was doing more harm than good at the retreat. Once he decided to pursue his relationship with Christine, Louis seemed to settle down and open up a bit more, and the two ended up leaving the villa together.
