The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On

I know, I have reviewed few dating reality shows but trust me, this one is a new one and I think it is a little bit cringy but informative at the same time. We all know that dating reality TV shows end up either you get a chance to go home with a partner or just go home still single but this one is way in the flip side of things.

The Ultimatum, is a new show hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, the hosts of Love is Blind. It is a bout couples who wanted to give their partners an Ultimatum whether they want to get married or move on with their lives without each other. There were at least six couples who were tested in the show. All they need to do is meet other couples and choose a potential new lover, it’s like couple switching in which the main challenge is, after the weeks of being with their new chosen partners, are they going to still go back to their previous partners or they finally realized that they just met someone who has change their lives in just few weeks.

Bridgerton S2: The Viscount Who Loved Me

For everyone who isn’t familiar of the title, it is actually the title of the novel by Julia Quinn in which the Season 2 of Bridgerton was based on. The first one was The Duke and I (Season 1). The Netflix Original series is produced by Shonda Rimes, the producer who made our beloved Grey’s Anatomy possible, and yes this is by far the cutest series focusing on royalties in the year (1813-1827) that we all have wondered about. It’s the era of the romantics as I call it.

Since this is another book adaptation, we all know that I go crazy on books and yes, I have read the whole series which consists of 8 romance novels, so the question is, are we gonna expect 8 seasons for Bridgerton? Well, I shall not keep you from reading my review and getting in the zone.

For those who have not yet set eyes on the series, please refrain from scrolling my article as this might ruin the excitement of your viewing…ah, yes, as always, it will be your own risk to read spoilers…go ahead then…

Reality Shows For Singles (Too Hot to Handle & Love is Blind Moview)

They said that love is blind and that you can fall in love with just knowing someone and having a deeper connection and folks, that’s what these dating reality shows are proving to us. Love is Blind is about finding a fiancé and marrying them in the span of weeks but the twist is that they will be going on a date with 14 different people inside a pod where they won’t be able to see each other. They will be all dating blindly. If after few days and they found their match, then they can propose to the other person on the other pod whom they think they want to spend the rest of their life. If the other party accepts the proposal, they will finally meet each other outside the pods and will be able to spend few weeks before their wedding. Sounds a bit impulsive right? Wait until you read about Too Hot to Handle, coz this show is way different.

The truth is gift or no gift, I’m just as special as everyone in my family.

He’s All That! (A Moview)

Talk about latest and trending, there’s this movie that was actually a remake of the 1999 movie “She’s All That” in which after the popular guy loses his girlfriend and social status, he went on a bet to make an unpopular girl in the campus be the PROM Queen and later on get his status back and maybe more than that as well. We all know those 90s teenage movies, like the Clueless movie as well and many more, these are the kind of movies we all grew up watching. It’s where the popular do a makeover to the geeky or not so beauty person in the campus and make them part of the society only for them to realized that they were part of the bet. Obviously many movies have done that through out the years and surprisingly, here’s another attempt of doing such but in the modern 2021 world. Uh, when I say 2021, I mean, this is the era where social media is ruling everything. Like 90s shows doesn’t have social media, instead they only have those flip or sliding phones where they talk to each other, trying to plan stuff and other things unlike now, high schoolers will just post everything on Instagram, Snapchat and people can view their stories even the ones whom they don’t know.

So let’s the movie, as you all know I don’t need to talk about the plot because we all know how it begins and ends but let’s talk about the actors especially the ones who are actually from the Tiktok world

Swiped: New Normal Dating

Okay, in 2016, I wrote this blog post Modern Day Dating (just click that to read the 2016 article before scrolling through this post…Well, might give you a refresher.)

In 2021, in the middle of pandemic where no one can even travel a few miles away from home or dine out, are the ones in my previous list still holds their stand or do we have a new version of New Normal Dating?

During pandemic, dating apps were getting famous again; Tinder, Bumble & Hinge are actually saved on my phone (Not proud but….yes.) What really happens when you’re single during a pandemic? For what I have seen in the internet for the past few months, people (not only single ones) learned how to cook, bake, plant and even make soap & candles; but most of all, they did Tiktok (A video app that showcases musical, comedy acting and dancing talents) and since it was a lockdown situation all over the world ,any couples have tried doing the tiktok and showing the world how lonely singles are in their homes. Yes, you all deserve to hear that coz I know, you’ve been watching with envious eyes while they do sweet stuff in their videos.

So let’s go back to the real deal here, the million dollar question is…how can singles find love in the middle of the pandemic using the internet and other dating apps? I have listed some few points for the New Normal Dating;

Dating Apps are not yet an old news. Now that we have established that no one can interact in person, the new normal, well, we may refuse to believe it but yes, it still involves the very large pool of dating apps. Admit it or not, at some point, you or one of your friends or colleagues have engaged into having a dating app profile. Although you are not expected to flaunt it everywhere but during this new normal, it is easier for someone to swipe right than to go out and engaged with a eyeball or meet ups.
