ICYMI: Why “The Ultimatum: Queer Love” Ultimately Fails

On today’s show, Candice and Rachelle are joined by Lindsay Lee
Wallace, a culture writer who recently reviewed the second
season of Netflix’s reality dating show The Ultimatum for
TIME. The three discuss how the show’s unhinged conceit fares when
all the contestants are queer and how the season’s reception on the
internet. They dive deep into the chaos subsumed The
Ultimatum subreddit, where one of the contestant’s name was
briefly banned because so many critical threads were being posted
about them. And they determine the show achieves of its two aims:
to be messy and to show the interior lives of queer couples. This
show is produced by Se’era Spragley Ricks, Daisy Rosario, Candice
Lim and Rachelle Hampton. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
