Comedian and actress Jade Catta-Preta is the host of the unique dating show with a twist called ‘Hotties.’ This cook-off dating show on Hulu puts together a bunch of attractive singles on blind dates on each episode to compete against the other pair by preparing some delicious food, throughout the date, in a food truck. While doing so, they would be fed a variety of spicy foods every 15 minutes to look at their unfiltered reactions to these challenges.
