Dating can be a drag, so why not turn it into a game? In this blind-dating game show, host Jujubee (RuPaul’s Drag Race, Dragnificent) guides singles through a series of sexy games to see if they can find their one true love-for-now. This is how it works: We have a contestant. We give them three daters to choose from, but the only thing they get from their potential love connections are their voices. We play some racy games before eliminating all but one potential dater. And that’s when the cameras come on and things get personal. Can they win a date on Jujubee’s dime or will she send them back to the apps?Listen to Queen of Hearts on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
