🚨WARNING: Spoilers ahead, obvs.🚨
Waddup? It is I, back at it again with yet another "I watched this so you don't have to" post. Everyone and their mother keep talking about this show called The Ultimatum, so I decided to give it a watch and see what all the hoopla was about!
Now, I don't know much about this series, but I think it's about couples who are on the fence about getting married, so they date other people to see if their original partner is actually the one for them?
So even though no one asked, I decided to watch the first episode of the series and give you my thoughts anyway:
Before we dive in, here's the synopsis that Netflix gives for The Ultimatum:
1. IS THAT NICK AND VANESSA LACHEY? Man, between this and Love is Blind, Nick and Ness are working hard for the money!
2. Listen, Madlyn, is it? If you feel this way, THEN BREAK UP WITH YOUR MAN!
3. SIS! YOU'RE 24! YOU'RE STILL A CHILD!
4. OK, what Randall is saying about why he isn't ready yo marry Shanique...makes sense? He doesn't wanna bring his personal debt into their marriage, which is...fair?
5. I already forgot his name, but if this is how you feel and it's not about your CURRENT GIRLFRIEND, then BREAK UP WITH HER!
6. OK, the gist is that after spending time getting to know other people, they're gonna move in with a different partner for three weeks, and then move back in with the partner they came in with for three weeks, and see who's a better fit! I see no flaws there, she said sarcastically.
7. GWORL! If you're already feelin' this type of way, then you should not be considering marriage, let alone be in a committed relationship:
8. So far, no one has been, like, "I wanna spend the rest of my life with this person." It's always answers like this:
9. DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO GET MARRIED???
10. 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
11. Live reaction of me listening to all these children wanting marriage but none of them being "financially stable":
12. OK. HOLD UP. If someone wants kids and the other person doesn't...then there's no "compromise."
13. One person's full package is another person's "OK, me too, what's your point?"
14. So far, I'm 20 minutes in and everyone who wants to get married isn't giving nearly as good enough reasons for wanting that over the people who don't want to get married:
15. RAE CAN'T EVEN TALK TO THIS MAN...YET SHE WANTS TO MARRY HIM???
16. So far, Randall and Zay are the ones making all of the sense.
17. I mean...I see nothing wrong with moving in together before marriage???
18. WHY IS THIS EVERY WOMAN ON THIS SHOW'S PERCEPTION OF MARRIAGE????
19. OMG, OK the couples are now uncoupled and are dating around to see who they want to conduct the experiment with. What could possibly go wrong*?
20. This is the first time April has said anything worth a damn this entire episode:
21. Randall asked Madlyn how things are between her and Colby and her IMMEDIATE response was that he was annoying... Honey save all of us some time and just break up with that poor mans:
22. Unpopular opinion, but I see nothing wrong this.
23. OK, first April and now Lauren? These ladies are seeing something that Madlyn is clearly missing.
24. The common through line I'm sensing is that all of these couples just needed to gain another perspective on their current situations, whether it's having kids or what it means to be financially stable. But YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME ON A DATING SHOW TO FIND THIS OUT! THERE ARE PAID PROFESSIONALS TO HELP YOU WITH THESE THINGS!!!
25. LMAO, Colby really said, "Madlyn WHO??"
26. Jake's like, "April? I've never heard of her."
27. Jesus, take the wheel.
28. OK, I hate to say it, but I'm kinda shipping Jake and Rae 😬
29. AND THINGS JUST GOT AWK!
OH ME, OH MY! Well, ya girl is officially invested. At this point I don't think ANYONE should go home with who they entered this experience with, but only time will tell! Catch me watching the rest of this series in a single setting with a bottle of red wine.
