The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 released its second batch of episodes, i.e., episodes 6 to 8, on December 11. These episodes saw a couple reset as the participants went back to their original partners after spending a few weeks with their trial partners to see if they were still compatible.
Aria and Caleb were trial partners who left their original partners, Scotty and Mariah, to pair up with each other. They shared a distinct chemistry, which was seemingly better for the fans than the chemistry they shared with their respective partners.
Aria had fair conversations with Caleb, unlike the fights she had with Scotty. He appreciated her and made her feel worthy, unlike Scotty, who complained about how she wasn't validating him. Fans of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On took to X to urge the two of them to be together after episode 8 of the show witnessed Aria leaving Scotty.
"Aria and Caleb please stay together like I beg," said one fan.
"Caleb constantly down playing what him and Aria have is so heartbreaking because they’re literally SOULMATES BRO! I'M SICK TO MY STOMACH AHHHHHHHH," another fan said.
"I understand Caleb and Aria are being respectful, but I need this show to turn into Love Island or something and they recouple!!! The chemistry, the laughs, the emotional awareness, the face masks .. 10/10," added another.
"Honestly, I wish that Caleb went into this to find a romantic connection. Cause he and Aria seem so perfect for each other. they look good together, and they connect so well," another wrote.
Fans of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On acknowledged Caleb's behavior towards Aria and asked them to recouple.
"Ow the conversation between Aria and Caleb in the sunrise. I need them together for real. they did the experiment so beautifully and so respectful," an X user said.
"Caleb and Aria are so cute I just hate how Caleb is trying to downplay his feelings to everyone. I understand he probably doing it to protect Mariah feelings and still preserve that relationship but bby that’s dead. you found something good, go for it," another user said.
"Since the rules have changed, I want Aria and Caleb to end up together at the end of this. They actually fit and balance each other in a seemingly healthy way," commented one.
"May Aria and Caleb jump into bed naked," another added.
Aria and Caleb's respective relationships before the Decision Day on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 8
While talking to Mariah a day before Decision Day on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Caleb shared that he was scared of getting married because he had a lot of growing to do. Mariah's feelings about marriage differed because she said the thought of marriage excited her.
Caleb, on the other hand, wanted to strengthen his communication skills before he could think of a future with Mariah. With Aria and Scotty, the latter thought Aria didn't validate him enough and said that she still hadn't worked on giving him the "non-s*xual physical touch."
Aria got emotional, saying she was trying and that Scotty didn't acknowledge her efforts. So by the end of episode 8, Aria said she couldn't be with someone who didn't have faith in her, packed her bags, and left.
New episodes of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 come out on December 18 on Netflix.
