Is it just me or does it seem like every reality dating show, by nature of the fact there are so many, has to “up the ante?” It’s almost like the selling point to get people to tune in is to make them say, “No way are they going to do that…and put it on camera!” That’s the case, in my opinion with the return of Netflix’s “Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.”
This new season is about to air on the streaming service and features two Charlotte couples. Lisa Horne, Brian Okoye, Kat Shelton and Alex Chapman are putting their love on the line in a way that makes me go, “Wow.” So here is the premise of the show according to Popsugar Five straight couples try to figure out if they should get married or break up once and for all. To come to that decision, they enter into trial marriages with other participants on the show and then return to their original partner. At the end of the season, if the couples don’t agree to get married, they go their separate ways.
Now, before you dismiss this with the thought of why watch, there’s no way this works out. The couples from the first season of this show? They are all still together. Now to be fair, a recent season of the spinoff, “The Ultimatum: Queer Love,” saw almost every couple parting ways at the end of the experiment.
So, what will happen this time? Get ready to watch our brave and perhaps naive Charlotteans when “Ultimatum: Marry or Move On” bows on Netflix on August 23. Once again, it will be hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey (pictured above). Wanna catch a shot of the Queen City in advance?
