The choice clearly frustrates and confuses Nate, who said in his confessional that Shanique was his first pick.
Jake
Jake was brought into the experience by his girlfriend April, who gave him the ultimatum.
During the dating period, he quickly learned that he needs to speak up for himself more.
Madlyn
Madlyn who was given the ultimatum by boyfriend Colby was all about her dates with Randall.
Madlyn often mentions that Randall seems to have a more realistic outlook on relationships than Colby.
Randall also feels a connection, and chooses Madlyn back.
During the dating stage of the experience, she connected with Colby, Nate, and Hunter.
She chooses Hunter (another blow to Nate) and here’s where things start to get juicy.
“He is mine.
Get your hands off of him.
I want to marry him, not see him date other people.”
Even Nick and Vanessa are concerned about what Nate is doing, which is proposing to Lauren.
April’s words strike a chord with many people.
Eventually, the group gets up and awkwardly says their goodbyes.
“I was not expecting that,” Vanessa says in a post-re-coupling confessional with Nick.
Alexis and Hunter and Nate and Lauren leave the experience engaged.
Episodes 1 through 8 ofThe Ultimatumare streaming on Netflix now, with episodes 9 and 10 dropping April 13.
