In this audio-first dating experience, Jujubee leads a diverse set of contestants through a series of fun games as they get to know one another, laugh together, and just maybe, fall in “like.” Most importantly, contestants are only heard, not seen – there is no swiping, profile curation, filters, or cat-fishing to distract from the authentic connection sparked by pure conversation. Through a series of original dating games MCed by Jujubee, such as “The Bone Zone,” a sex quiz asking very personal questions or “Say It Sexy,” that challenges contestants to make a banal phrase like “where are the paper towels?” sound titillating, the bachelorX will decide if they will choose to venture beyond the mic and meet for a date in real life – courtesy of Jujubee.
Fans of 2000s-era MTV dating shows like Next and current fare such as Love Island, as well as Drag Race fans around the world, will enjoy the irresistible potion of provocative, hilarious and heartfelt that is Queen of Hearts.
