Another batch of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episodes was out on December 11. Episodes 6 to 8 saw the contestants leaving their trial partners and moving back with their original partners for the phase of the experiment where they saw if they were still compatible.

Episode 8 of the season was titled You're Playing With Fire and saw the couples discussing things that they wanted from each other. Sandy asked Nick to let her go if he wasn't going to be consistent with his actions. J.R. admitted that he wasn't as much in love with Zaina as she was with him.

Aria cried when Scotty said she needed to change some things for him. She stated that she wanted to and was trying, but she just wanted some acknowledgment from Scotty. The latter refused to sympathize, so she left the table. Mariah also got emotional when talking about her feelings, but Caleb comforted her.

Sandy and Nick ended the last night on a good note, being grateful to each other. Scotty was still unsure about Aria's willingness to change, so she left Scotty.


What did the couples talk about on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 8?

At the start of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Sandy was unsure about Nick reciprocating her love. He accepted that he had his flaws, but he wanted to work on them with Sandy by his side. Later in the episode, Sandy took him to meet her mom and sister. Here, they discussed their individual experiences with the experiment and the outcomes. When Sandy said she felt neglected, Nick reassured her and her family by saying:

"I've never been this in love with anyone....I'm also fully taking ownership of all the things that I've done and committed to staying and show up no matter what".

When her mom asked her in private about her experience with Nick compared to her one with J.R., Sandy said she was calmer with J.R., so she still didn't know if she would say yes to Nick on the last day of the experiment.

By the end of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On episode, on their last dinner, Nick hoped that Sandy would forgive him for his inconsistencies. When they went to bed together, they were grateful to be there. On the other hand, J.R. and Zaina talked about how he wasn't so sure about marrying her yet, which he said meant that she loved him more. This was a "fundamental problem" to Zaina because she didn't want to be with someone she had to chase.

At dinner, later in the episode on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, Zaina stated that she was happy he was paired with Sandy because she brought them closer. J.R. echoed her sentiments, saying he started valuing her more after The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On experience. They ended the day telling each other how much they loved each other and understood each other's inhibitions regarding topics like marriage.

Scotty acknowledged that Aria, after the experiment, approached conversations with more love instead of how irritated she used to get before. He also pointed out that she had tried to validate him more recently. But he said:

"One area where I feel like I don't think we're still on the same page is the non-s*xual physical touch".

Aria cried on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On because she felt there was no acknowledgment of her efforts. Scotty said he wasn't going to comfort her because he couldn't let go of the things he wanted from a relationship. Aria said she was irritated and left the room. At the end of the episode, she said she couldn't continue to be with someone who didn't have faith in her, so she chose to leave.

Mariah told Caleb that she exhibited self-sabotage because it was scary to be with someone as perfect as Caleb. She felt it was unusual for someone like Caleb to be interested in her, as she wasn't secure herself. She got emotional as she said this and was comforted by Caleb. By the end of the episode, Caleb told Mariah that he wasn't sure about marriage because he needed to do a lot of "growing up."


New episodes of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 will be out on December 8 on Netflix.
