Between The Pages is BACK for a fun new miniseries dissecting some of our favorite TV shows through the lens of gender, sexuality, sex, and power.
We're excited to welcome Shelby Graves (@seriously.shelbs), a fellow public health nerd and reality TV enthusiast, to unpack the mess and (maybe?) magical moments of Netflix's The Ultimatum: Queer Love, the first Netflix reality dating show to feature an all-queer cast.
We break down gender roles seen on the show, how the producers deal with (or don't deal with) gender presentation and pronouns, what to think about "Fingergate" (ughhh), and so much more.
Follow Caitlin @caitlinviccora on Instagram, @cquinnv on TikTok.

Caitlin and Kristen also loosely discuss The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling for BTP October Book Club (very cute but needs more boning). 'Tis the season for humans and ghosts to have sex, we're just saying.
