Nteflix's Too Hot To Handle season 4 aired its much awaited final four episodes on Wednesday, December 14, at 03.01 am ET. These episodes focused on the final stages of the competition, where hopeful singles were looking to establish emotional connections while resisting the temptation of physical intimacy in an effort to earn the cash prize and win the title.
The participants were put to the ultimate test as they tried not to break the rules and lose hefty amounts.
While some cast members had formed strong connections early on in the show, the arrival of new charming individuals definitely stirred the pot. Among them was Shawn, who chose Kayla as his date, putting her relationship with Seb in jeopardy. When that didn't work out, he entered the house and called Jawahir a "black queen" while trying to form a connection with her.
Jawahir, for her part, also got swayed initially and went back and forth between the newbie and her original connection Nick. Fans slammed Shawn for terming Jawahir a "black queen" and putting her relationship with Nick in jeopardy.
A look at Shawn's connection with Jawahir on Too Hot To Handle
Ahead of Too Hot To Handle episode 7, four couples - Nick and Jawahir, Seb and Kayla, James and Brittan, and Creed and Flavia - were going strong when Lana decided to rest their temptations by bringing in new arrivals Shawn and Imogen. The newcomers chose Kayla and Creed to go on dates respectively.
While Shawn's date with Kayla didn't work out as it was cut short with Seb pressing the red buzzer, the newbie entered the house and confessed:
"Kayla and Seb definitely have a strong connection. I'm definitely disappointed, but at the same time, I'm already putting my mind to the next."
When fellow Too Hot To Handle cast member Ethan asked who he found attractive amongst the group of women, Shawn hinted at being attracted to Jawahir and said:
"I love my Black queens, of course, but I'm definitely open to everything else, so."
Later on, Jawahir confessed to being attracted to Shawn and that Lana had sent him there to mess with her head. The newcomer was also open to exploring a connection with her as he realized she made a lot of eye contact. The following day, Nick noted that his connection with Jawa was stronger than ever, but with Shawn's appearance, she was acting differently.
Addressing her as his "beautiful black queen" once more, Shawn sat down to have a chat with the Too Hot To Handle star. She confessed to being curious about the newcomer and the duo had a great time bonding. But since Jawahir also cared deeply about Nick, she wanted to have an honest conversation with him.
After Lana hosted a party for the newcomers, she got to talk to Nick and confessed to wanting to get to know Shawn. However, the contestant also mentioned that she really liked Nick but was scared of commitment. In a confessional, the star stated:
"I tend to doubt myself whenever I give myself to someone. Being adopted has caused me to think that I'm not worthy of love because they will abandon me."
Jawahir connected with Shawn the next day when he revealed that he was also adopted and that they could explore their connection better when they had things in common to talk about. She, however, was still conflicted.
By the end of the Too Hot To Handle episode, Lana asked the star to take a call on whether she wanted to explore more with Shawn or stick to her original connection with Nick. Jawahir chose to stand by her original connection, following which they made their relationship official.
