On The Ultimatum: Queer Love


Listen Later

This week’s seminar is all things Ultimatum: Queer Love. Christina rants, Em cries, what’s new? We unpack our journeys with each contestant from Episode one through the Reunion, and boy did our impressions change over the course of this season!!! Em caps the episode off with an office hours segment that sheds light on why some people seemed to feel more sympathy for Rachel/Raquel after the VPR reunion. Plus a smattering of other coverage in homeroom (Love Island UK, Stars on Mars, Love Allways, and more), you might say this episode has it all. We hope you enjoy!
