Netflix has put out some relatively unhinged reality TV shows recently. There was that one where they literally shut people in apartments for three weeks and had them catfish each other. And there was that other where they put people in boxes and had them get married. But this new show, Too Hot to Handle, might just be their best work yet. It’s like Love Island, but the contestants can’t hook up with each other. Yeah, you read that right.

Here’s the deal. The show takes 10 hot singles who are notorious commitment-phobes when it comes to relationships, and it puts them in an island villa together for what they think is going to be a four week sexcation. But when they get there, they’re told there’s prize money involved, and it depends on all of them remaining abstinent for the four week retreat. You can watch the trailer up there ^^.

Twitter got wind of this and people’s reactions are about as unhinged as the show seems to be.

I mean, this show has it all: Hot people, a pretty location, the reality that most millennials have no idea how to date anymore, the crippling fear of rejection, and, yes, lots of abs! if there’s anything to give us comfort in these trying times, it’s reality TV, right? The show drops next week Friday. Grab the wine!
