The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On

Just another toxic dating reality show, glad I don't watch these type of shows often, I can feel my brain melting. These people need therapy, not a reality show. Poor things. I do hope they all get the help they need.

The show is cringy at time not believable, I know these shows are scripted but the rules and the layout of 3 living together and 3 weeks coming back together while the same time being involved with the other couples is messy and strange.

As a woman who doesn't want to have kids, it was pretty offensive to watch a woman who's main boundary was to not have children (she said she doesn't feel comfortable around them!) have her FIRST conversation with a man be plowed over and ultimately be asked to overcome it, as if it's a fault, and despite not fully understanding where she's coming from. He was eager for her to admit it was about pregnancy affecting her body, rather than the lifelong consequences of raising a human being that she's not comfortable with. Then for her to actually acquiesce to it like it's not even that important of a concern, is absolutely mind blowing and reinforcing of the persistent sexist mindset that still exists. So much for women representing the rest of us, not that I should have expected it from such a shallow show.

As a drama vampire I draw sustenance from the delicious drama. I wish I could watch all the tasty divorce hearings down the road. It's like watching a drawn out swinger party full of broken codependent narcissists.

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.
