Now that The Ultimatum season four has wrapped, let's try to unpack what made this season particularly difficult to watch. While some couples certainly demonstrated growth throughout the experience, some only left me more frustrated by their choice to get engaged on the final episode. I'll overview my thoughts on all six couples from the season (including those early dismissed ones that came back for the reunion!). Plus, I'm airing my frustrations with the show's production team - in particular when it came to Hayley's safety - and viewer commentary on what kind of threats are or are not justified against cast members (spoiler I think no threats are ok!!). I'm also highlighting some questions I would have loved to see asked at the reunion and some threads that I feel were dropped.
