Biography
Cris Medina, whose full name is Cristian Medina, is a Spanish footballer and reality television contestant.

Medina arrived on the show with a group of Spanish singles who believed they had been cast in a dating programme called "Maestros de la seducción" (Masters of Seduction). Like the rest of the cast, he found out at the villa that the format was really the Spanish edition of Too Hot to Handle. In that format kissing and other physical contact are banned, and every broken rule reduces a shared prize fund.
