We could not let a season a go without a dose of a reality tv dating show so we’re back with a episode discussing the Netflix hit, The Ultimatum South Africa. There’s so much to unpack so had to make sure our reality tv correspondent, Dona, joined us as we got into it. We cover our thoughts on the flavour & authenticity the South African cast brought to a show that was getting tired & all the dynamics at play in this twisted couples’ swap. We also ask some burning questions like… Why did Khanya bring that man on here when she clearly didn’t like him? How long had Ruth & Isaac really been together? At what point did Courtney & Aiden realize they’d an error coming & when will Nolla stop lying? That and so much more. We hope you enjoy!
