In a group conversation, host Nick Lachey acknowledged the challenges contestant Nick faced during the experiment, noting the emotional toll it took on him in episode 7 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On. Scotty supported this sentiment, saying,

"I just have to commend Nick, I mean to be in this experience, alone, vulnerable. I gotta shout you out for that, man." Nick thanked him and admitted, "I made mistakes through this experience. I am not perfect. I'm trying to grow."

Sandy, however, expressed doubts about Nick’s growth, responding,

"It doesn’t seem like that for me."

Caleb intervened, defending Nick by bringing up his immediate apology during a boys’ night, stating,

"I watched Nick come into the boys’ night and immediately, before he shook anyone else’s hand, came in with an apology."

Caleb said Nick’s effort to acknowledge his mistakes deserved recognition. J.R. countered Caleb’s defense, saying he wasn’t involved in their relationship and therefore shouldn’t comment.

J.R. added that Caleb hadn’t witnessed Sandy’s daily distress caused by Nick’s actions. Caleb maintained his stance, emphasizing Nick’s attempts to apologize. J.R. dismissed Caleb’s defense, saying it was not his business to talk about their relationship.

"I thought the relationship was over, so I did all that. I’m sorry."

Sandy revealed that Nick’s actions had escalated recently, leading her to block him. She explained,

"It progressively has gotten worse, to the point where I had to block him."
