L'Ultimatum: On se marie ou c'est fini

This show is literally horrific and these people are remarkably shallow and stupid but for some reason I cannot stop watching. Also what the F is this whole concept? So toxic and cringe even if it's scripted there were some scenes that was hard to watch but then I remembered those people stirred the sh*t for themselves so then I was ok again.

I'm a reality show addict, like most girls... I'm not even sure why that is.... its all so cringey. The show is so cringey, but I'll watch it!! I'm not sure how real this show is, but it's kinda ridiculous. When you first meet a "date", everyone puts on a front. Guys act like they care about your feelings and girls act like they're willing to cook, clean, and rear the children at the same time freaky in the sheets. EVERYONE does this, but nobody seems to remember 2 years later in their relationships.. Its funny how these people go into this show 'believing' one thing, but as soon as they meet someone else they're attracted to, their 'beliefs' suddenly change. So comparing someone you're with for 2 years to someone you first meet is just absurd in thinking they're 'different'.. YOUR PARTNER ONCE DID THIS TOO!! Are these people naive af?! Looking for their 15 min (Alexis and Hunter obviously)?! Who knows? But I'll keep watching!

..even for reality show standards. Love is Blind has a ridiculous premise, but seems mostly real, aside from the expected reality tv editing and staging. This is very hard to believe any of, to me. These people are being put in a situation (let's watch my partner (who I want to marry) date and potentially "fall in love" with & leave me for someone else whilst in the same room as me) that would trigger primal feelings of stress, jealousy and misery in the vast majority of people. But these people are all as flat as can be. It just doesn't look like real human behaviour. Entertaining but less so because of the seeming fakeness.

Boy howdy. It would be easy to give this show a 1/10 if you rate it on the people in the show alone, because nearly ALL of these cry baby lunatics are truly deplorable. But if you watch it with the intention of exploring the completely malformed psyches of the 20 somethings that are walking the streets today then you won't find a better show. I wanted to hate this show, I wanted to not be able to bear a second of the vapid, insipid pseudo intellectual musings of self absorbed morons, but then something brilliant happened. I found myself drawn in and watching with the same mode that I would a Ben Stiller cringe comedy, the likes of "Meet the Parents" or "Something about Mary." It's a feast of watching selfish self absorbed people with virtually zero self awareness try to convince themselves that they are ready for a lifetime commitment to each other. It's a hysterical, laugh a minute slow motion train wreck. And the fact that some of these morons think that they're ready for the responsibility hey of having children makes this feel like this show is teetering on tragedy. Don't get me wrong, there are three kids who don't complete suck, in particular a guy named Randall. With some more experience and maturity under his belt he will make a fine addition to the real world, but he is the only one that can even remotely articulate how he actually feels, what he wants and his rationale behind his beliefs. But watching him to to relate to a bunch of immature spoiled cry babies makes the shows cringe factor reach all new heights of hilarity. ALL and I mean ALL of these people NEED and would be better served with intense therapy than wasting nearly two whole months on a reality tv show is evident. How these people function and are able to hold down employment of any kind is incomprehensible. But enough. Watch it and enjoy how your life can't be anymore messed up than These peoples.

Five couples swap partners for 3 weeks essentially living as married couples while doing so. Without the sexual activity for the most part, though some couples do get tactilely intimate.

Obviously this disrupts the various relationships and the outcome is pretty predictable. I wouldn't necessarily call it toxic since all it is doing is exposing the nature of human interaction on a very personal level. True, some people consider this a societal low, but realistically its really only exposing human nature in a very blatant manner, stripping away the the underpinnings of intimate relationships for all to see.

Actually I think it's quite a healthy way to explore the realities of serious romantic partnerships; especially since so much of what constitutes healthy pair bonding is really undisclosed misinformation with honesty and truth buried under pretence, façade and fluff.

Having said this, I'm not sure it's for everyone. If you don't want to colour your notions of love and romance, or explore the reality of what exists under the covers of perceived romance, then give this a miss. Even though it isn't uncouth, dirty or 'for the most part' tasteless, it is pretty raw in places with notions of love and compatibility unearthed for the reality of complexity that actually exists between the various couples.

I liked it, no real surprises, and exactly what you'd expect from a modern reality series. In fact given what's on offer, its actually a pretty good production.
