Exclusive: Tiffany Pollard On Season Two Of Her NSFW Series ‘Hot Haus’

So what is it about Pollard that has kept her star on the rise? Well, for one thing, she knows how to make a viral moment. But secondly, she knows how to create a balance of being wildly open and outspoken while also remaining a bit mysterious. Who is the real Tiffany Pollard? You’re not sure, but you’d really like to know.

In some ways, Hot Haus might be her most revealing gig yet because it allows her to show a more vulnerable and softer side — although still with all the sass we’ve come to know and love her for.

A proud member of the community, Pollard is proud not only to support the queer and trans adult entertainers who make up this season's cast, but to help destigmatize sex work on a show that doesn't just show off their skin (though it does plenty of that) but presents performers’ hopes, aspirations, and fears as well.

For the uninitiated, Hot Haus follows a group of adult entertainers who participate in a series of steamy challenges while vying for the title of The Next Queer Sex Symbol and a cash prize of $25,000.

Pollard once again serves as the host and mentor, but also the contestant’s cheering section, offering encouragement and constructive criticism. It's a gig that Pollard tells PRIDE she was thrilled to return to.

PRIDE: Congrats on season two of Hot Haus! Tell me about how you found it was coming back and your first thoughts when you heard the news.

TIFFANY POLLARD: Honestly? I teared up. I was so happy to keep working with OUTtv to offer a platform to queer performers. Nothing like Hot Haus exists in the world, and that’s why it’s so important.

What is your favorite part of hosting Hot Haus? What is the most challenging part?

My favorite part is connecting with the Hotties and learning their stories and seeing their incredible talents shine. I’m not a judge, so I get to just sit back and enjoy the show!

The most challenging part? Two words: The. Heat. We filmed this season in Las Vegas and when we had to go outside I had sweat dripping into the crevasse that I only let my man touch!

What did you learn from your experience on season one that you wanted to apply or do differently this time around?

Season one was such an amazing experience. And I’m SO proud that several of the season one Hotties have gone on to become producers on the show! The family energy love you saw on season one wasn’t fake — and I wanted to make sure the season two hotties felt the same love.

You have an extensive reality TV background, what has that taught you? How does it impact your connection with the contestants having been on both sides?

It’s taught me to always remind people how to watch the show! Go stream Hot Haus on OUTtv every Thursday.

In terms of the Hotties, I understand what it is to be judged on this huge scale and doubt yourself sometimes. Which is why I’m so glad I get to be their cheerleader and remind them to be true to their own brand and personality, cause it worked for me!

This show is very sexy, and very sex-positive which I love, has there ever been a moment where you were like, ‘whoa, now that's too far! That's too crazy?’

Now you know damn well nothing is too crazy for the HBIC! (laughs)

What qualities are you looking for in a winning hottie?

Because I’m just the Hottie’s host and guide, they’re ALL winners to me. Truly. I could never do what the judges, Matt and Nicky, have to do. This cast is SO talented, I was on the edge of my seat every night when someone had to be eliminated.

Would you ever do another romance competition series? What I really want now is a reboot of A Shot at Love, but with Tiffany Pollard!

Right now I’m at the point in my life where I want to focus on hosting and executive producing projects like Hot Haus. There’s some other projects coming soon too, so stay tuned.

As a member of the queer community, what does having a show like Hot Haus on the air mean to you?

Hot Haus is all about joy and passion and creativity. We need more of that in the world. It means everything to me. Everything!

We’re living through a scary time for queer and trans folks — and even drag queens — with all the anti-LGBTQ+ laws being passed. Do you have a message to the queer community to help inspire them to keep their chins up?

You are seen. You are valid. And your spirit shines brighter than any hate in this world. This is the time to lean on the community and support each other no matter what.

Hot Haus season 2 is streaming now on OUTtv.
