(CNN) Dating apps might be great for reminding people that there are plenty of fish in the sea, so to speak, but 30-year-old attorney Madison Kucker has been on 127 dates in the past two years and she tired of fishing. So she's putting her future in the hands of the producers from Fox's "Love Connection."

"I feel like maybe the person [I'm looking for] is somebody who's a little bit quirky and out there and willing to try something this crazy, too," said Kucker, a New York City native with a self-described "big personality." "So overall, it kind of seemed like, 'Why not go for it?'"

The reboot, which premieres Thursday, is in concept much like the Chuck Woolery-hosted game show that aired in the '80s and '90s. But the execution is slightly different.

In this updated version, a single person is tasked with going on three dates and offered a chance to go an overnight date with the person of their choosing. If the contestant's pick matches the audience's prediction, the contestant gets $10,000. If they choose someone other than the audience's pick, the contestant must choose between their possible love connection and the money.
