Within the finale, which felt abrupt after eight episodes of chaos, 4 couples acquired engaged whereas one relationship ended (two should you rely Yoly and Xander’s cut up).
However the warmth actually turned up for the reunion the place we discovered who’s nonetheless collectively and who broke up, amongst different drama.
Taryn Finley and Erin E. Evans break all of it down on this closing dialog to wrap up the season.
The Greatest Surprises From 'The Ultimatum' Reunion
I’ll say this, I used to be SHOCKED that Sam and Aussie had been nonetheless collectively. That is a kind of “you prefer it, I adore it” conditions, and that’s actually all I've to say about that. — Erin
Virtually everyone who wanted to interrupt up broke up. That’s fantastic. I don’t say that sarcastically, both. “The Ultimatum” is nice TV but it surely’s unhealthy for relationships. The premise of it's simply unhealthy and doesn’t actually remedy the problems the unique couples are available in with. The truth is, it exacerbates them and creates new ones.
That mentioned, this reunion was GOOD. I’m so glad it wasn’t stay and Netflix didn’t attempt any experimental stunts with it. But once more, nevertheless, I actually want they might’ve gotten a queer host for this present. There have been just a few missed alternatives to dive into conversations in the way in which solely somebody of the neighborhood may do. However, it was nonetheless nice TV and very slept on. — Taryn

This Reveal At The 'Ultimatum' Reunion Was Stunning
Actually, I couldn’t stand Mildred the entire season, so I'm glad she is not with Tiff. Mildred talks over individuals, and that annoys me to no finish — and per the reunion, even resorts to violence when issues get too sophisticated. I hope they each discover methods to heal after this. — Erin
Mildred is actually wild for the shit she pulled. I actually really feel unhealthy for Tiff. Although we knew their relationship was poisonous, discovering out about it additionally being abusive was a shocker. I hope they heal, too, Erin. I don’t blame Tiff for leaving the reunion. I do, nevertheless, want that the dialog surrounding their bodily altercation would’ve include a set off warning or message for the viewers. — Taryn

This 'Ultimatum' Couple Took Us On A Rollercoaster Trip
So Mal proposed throughout the finale, which isn’t stunning, however I didn’t count on Yoly to say, “Sure.” Judging by the way in which Yoly was transferring with Xander, simply head over heels, it felt like Yoly was leaning extra towards Xander. And it'd’ve been simply me, however Mal’s efforts to win Yoly over, alongside together with her proposal speech, felt a bit performative. It didn’t really feel like her coronary heart was all the way in which there 100%. And I didn’t count on it to be as a result of if it's important to give your accomplice an ultimatum for something, it's important to take it with a grain of salt in the event that they oblige. Mal didn’t need her relationship with Yoly to finish, so she appeased her as a substitute of attending to the foundation of their relationship insecurities and dealing them out.
So when Mal introduced that they had been “fortunately damaged up” on the reunion, I wasn’t shocked, however my jaw was on the bottom, child. These two had basic points from leap. And going by way of a course of the place boundaries get pushed past the restrict like that is the very last thing the connection wanted. I actually really feel unhealthy for Mal. I couldn’t think about having to observe my accomplice fall in love with another person on TV and to the purpose the place Yoly was actually chasing down Xander after rejecting her. This was all such a sizzling mess. — Taryn
Whew, watching that proposal was so robust. I really feel like I may very well be cool with Mal IRL and solely need one of the best for her. As a hopeless romantic, I initially was rooting for them to remain collectively as a result of I do assume the love there may be actual. However Mal deserves somebody who loves her absolutely and somebody who gained’t leap out of the connection on the first cutie who walks by and reveals her some affection. I favored Yoly at first as a result of she does appear to be a straight shooter, however she began to get on my nerves in Episode 8. I’m an indecisive girlie, however rattling, her forwards and backwards with Xander was actually nauseating after some time.
Now! I had a powerful feeling Mal and Yoly wouldn’t keep engaged — particularly after Mal noticed that footage from Ultimatum Day. I felt so unhealthy for Mal, and her feedback on the reunion — saying Yoly made her look dumb — simply ruined me. I would like Mal to seek out love — and I would like Yoly to contemplate polyamory. — Erin

Vanessa Is All About Her Ego
I’m so pleased with Xander for selecting herself and sticking to it! We’ve mentioned this time and time once more, however Vanessa is a manipulator and a narcissist. And Xander appears to be too good of an individual to be with somebody who thinks their shit doesn’t stink. Even in how Vanessa handled Xander telling her that she doesn’t need to marry her, there was one thing very ego-driven. Breakups all the time suck, and I don’t doubt that, but it surely was as if Vanessa was performing greater than grieving the connection. I’m comfortable Xander caught to her determination and didn’t fall again underneath Vanessa’s spell after filming. On the reunion, you possibly can inform there was plenty of love there. However there was a mountain of harm, too. — Taryn
Sure! Vanessa is all about ego, and I hope she does some internal work on her points. I positively nonetheless assume she went on the present to turn into an influencer or one thing — as a result of in so lots of the on-screen moments, I used to be like, this woman HAS to be joking! Xander appeared to have essentially the most progress on the present, and I actually recognize how open and sincere she was all through. She simply appeared like a real actual one who randomly ended up on a actuality present, and I like that. — Erin

Yoly Was Enjoying With Hearts On Nationwide TV
For what it’s value, I cherished seeing how affectionate Yoly and Xander had been all through the present. They appeared to seek out in one another the issues they had been missing of their precise relationships. However child, on Ultimatum Day, I used to be so turned off by how touchy-feely Yoly was with Xander after saying sure to Mal’s proposal. I used to be screaming at my TV. After which to seek out out that in any case that, they determined that they weren’t going to truly be in a relationship after Mal and Yoly broke up? What a waste. — Erin
Similar, Erin! I actually mentioned Mal is just not going to love this. Yoly pushed so many boundaries in her relationship with Xander. She might have been sincere about her emotions with Mal, however she was nowhere close to clear or respectful. Hours after you say sure to marrying Mal, you’re chasing Xander up the driveway and saying you simply misplaced the love of your life. Yoly, should you felt like that, you actually ought to’ve simply put the engagement on ice till you figured your shit out. Now, you up right here enjoying with each Mal and Xander’s coronary heart on nationwide TV. I can’t really feel that unhealthy for you. — Taryn

This 'Ultimatum' Couple Will Absolutely Fizzle Out
This couple nonetheless provides me nothing. I actually like Sam, and I actually have admired her progress this season. She appears extra empowered to make her voice heard, and I hope that continues. I additionally cherished how she confirmed up for Tiff throughout the reunion. Aussie appears to need to do higher for self and Sam. I simply hope that there’s extra to the engagement than empty guarantees.
So far as that little rock stunt? It couldn’t be me. I'd actually chuck that rock into the woods. I really need higher for Sam. I actually do. — Taryn
It was tremendous telling when Sam mentioned that Aussie didn’t actually know what it meant to be engaged. Aussie simply appears to be in her personal world, and I don’t get why Sam needs to cope with it. Sam confirmed plenty of progress all through the season (and I cherished how she was there for Tiff, too, within the reunion.) However this relationship looks like the kind that can fizzle out. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to be in a wedding with somebody who repeatedly walks out on me simply because I ask them a query, like GTFOH. God bless them, although. — Erin

This 'Ultimatum' Couple Is Giving Pretend It 'Til You Make It
It gave pretend it ‘til you make it towards the tip. I’m sorry, however the points these two have may solely be resolved by a break up. All alongside, Lexi wished stability and for a accomplice to have her again as a lot as she had hers. And Rae was nonetheless not sure of what she wished. Neither may actually give what the opposite wanted — and Lexi was very unfair to Rae alongside their ultimatum journey.
So after they acquired engaged on the finish and had been nonetheless collectively on the reunion, it appeared like perhaps they had been working issues out in a mutually useful method, I assumed. I actually gagged once we discovered that they broke up two weeks after the reunion. It’s actually for one of the best, although. Go be younger, Lexi! And go work out what you need, Rae! — Taryn
OMG, so I used to be watching the present whereas working and because it ended I regarded away and nearly missed that closing breakup line earlier than the credit! I couldn't imagine it when Rae acquired on one knee to suggest. My jaw was on the ground. However such as you mentioned Taryn, Rae was so not sure of what she wished and ended up simply succumbing to the strain and proposing. I do hope they continue to be associates, however I feel each of them have to stay a bit extra life earlier than settling down. — Erin
