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.

Being gay is incredible. I love this show. It's so raw so realistic. The couples truly love each other. I myself have been with my partner for 10 years and I don't see myself being with anyone else. I love her unconditionally but this is an awesome show. It shows us as we are. This woman are so matured. Even with all the cheating they move on. They learn to move on. They put their love above all the bs. The only one who bother me a bit was Yoli but other than that I'm glad she was able to get thru. Years of being with someone knowing them fully doesn't just go away. I feel like destiny picks our partners you don't need to do much. Just be faithful and love them unconditionally because they are there for a good reason. Don't throw it all way for passion.

I'm not into reality shows, but a while ago I somehow ended up watching the Ultimatum hetero version of this. I thought it was absolute trash, with a lot of unstable narcissisticaly inclined participants. However, these lesbians ring truer somehow. This feels more balanced and (most of) the participants seem less unhinged. Although I'll never quite understand what drives people to share such personal stuff on camera with the world entire, it feels like their motives for participating aren't merely a narcissistic thirst for attention. They're quite funny at times too.

As a guilty voyeuristic pleasure, this was entertaining.

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!
