The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On: Sandy, Nick, and a candid conversation with her family
A key moment in episode 8 of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 came when Sandy and Nick joined her mom, Lori, and sister, Liz, for lunch. The conversation brought to light the challenges the couple faced during the experiment. Sandy explained how the experience was unbalanced for Nick after his trial partner, Vanessa, exited early.

“It was just... threw off the whole thing because he didn't have that, which obviously made him go a little cray-cray.”
Nick admitted that watching Sandy grow closer to her trial partner, J.R. was difficult for him. He said,
“Sandy essentially had her cake and eating it, too, because she got to be with somebody she enjoyed. And she knew I was alone, so there was no risk to her.”
However, Sandy refuted the notion, stating she didn’t feel like she had her way during the process. She explained that missing out on seeing Nick with someone else left her questioning the strength of their relationship. Reflecting on his struggles, Nick told Lori,
“I’ve never been this in love with anyone, and that’s cool, but it’s also scary. And I think I reacted to that poorly in our relationship because I was scared.”
When Lori privately asked Sandy about her dynamic with J.R., Sandy described him as grounded and calm. Lori commented that J.R.’s steadiness brought out a calmer side in Sandy, while Nick’s emotional intensity felt like a rollercoaster. Sandy admitted she was overwhelmed at times, expressing concerns about whether her old patterns with Nick would resurface after the experiment.
