The Ultimatum: Queer Love

I liked the show a lot, mainly because there are little to none lesbian reality tv shows.

It was very raw and emotional and represented a lot of real issues of relationships that are very much relatable.

It had an interesting concept, especially since any person could potentially end up with anyone else participating in the show.

I did not like however that almost all the couples consisted of one masc and one fem partner, since this can be a bit of a stereotype, it might be the reality for many lesbian couples but by far not for all.

I also would've preferred a queer woman hosting the show instead of a straight one.

I'm not a fan of reality shows at all, the drama & emotions are usually too over the top & exaggerated for my liking, but I am OBSESSED with this show! I did not expect to get so invested in all the couples & their individual journey of growth. I got really emotional seeing how things evolved throughout the series, following through everyone's discovery of what they want & don't want in a partner. As a queer person myself, I found this show to be one of the best media representation of queer love. And for that I thank the producers & everyone who participated in the show, putting themselves out there so bravely.

The Ultimatum earns 8 bags of popcorn. Absolutely gripping and worth binge watching.

There's highs, there's lows, there's a Vanessa and stainless steel cups. If you love reality tv and couples drama then you'll love this show.

I wasn't expecting to get so caught up in these individuals' lives, but by the end of episode 1 I knew all their names and already had my opinions about who should be with who and who should leave who.

The structure of the show is great. You get a good introduction to the couples but then are quickly thrown into their new relationships. By the time they go back to their original partner, it feels like they've each gone through a genuine experience and there's this incredible tension that you can't wait to see resolved.

Grab your favorite stainless steel cup and enjoy these relationships develop and break and stengthen over the course of The Ultimatum.

I won't give a review season per season, the first season is good, the second season is good. The first season was to me personally maybe a little less drama, while the reunion episode of season one was way more dramatic than the second season in my humble opinion.

It is easy for us to sit behind the tv and judge everyone, in the meantime how would any of us react. It is also reality tv so in reality we need to keep in mind that all of these things are being edited, as in why do they go out for dinner and drinks and still have those prison-looking metal cups.

There's plenty of straight couple versions as well as international, but I think I'll stick to my queer couples as I think it'll be hard to beat those!

Gay or straight, Queer or not people can do the dumbest things in a quest for the immortality that television can offer. The premise of the show is that one member of a couple wants to get married the other doesn't. That should really be the end right there. Staying in such a relationship is self defeating behavior. Break it off and get some counseling - OR go on television and show the world.

This is reality television at its - I hesitate to say finest - but most real probably works. It does say something about us as society. Not a good something but something none the less.

Since my mother said to always try to be nice, JoAnna Garcia Swisher in a stunning green gown did manage to keep my attention. Voyeurs will disagree with my assessment and perhaps if you can submit to more than the first episode you will find something of worth - I doubt it.
