It’s been a year and a half since The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On graced our screens—but thankfully, we’re about to be fed yet again. Season 4 hits Netflix on Wednesday, July 15 (aka tomorrow!!), introducing six Las Vegas-based couples as they decide whether they’re going to commit, quit, or maybe even couple up with someone else.
Say what you will about ultimatums, but of all the Netflix reality dating shows, The Ultimatum may have one of the best track records. In its three-season run, a whopping 11 couples have ended up staying together after appearing on the series (and that’s not even counting the success stories from The Ultimatum: Queer Love, which resulted in five engagements over two seasons). Who will end up staying together in this latest season? Thanks to this sneak peek from season 4, we have some idea.
In this exclusive clip, hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey sit at a table with the six new couples (Blake and Hayley, Luke and Monica, Edris and Jessica, David and Casey, Jebin and Alex, and Killian and Ashley), where it’s revealed that Alex received a secret note from Jebin—but according to her, “The producers actually took it from me. I didn’t read any of it.”
As it turns out: The Lacheys now have said note. After reminding the participants that all communication should occur on camera, Nick gives Alex (who’s the one who issued the ultimatum in her relationship) an opportunity to read the note out loud. Jebin sweats it out while Nick hands Alex the note—and though you’ll have to wait to see what happens next, Alex does tell Jebin one last thing before she starts to read: “This is what you got yourself into.”
As a reminder: Following this tense dinner, everyone will choose new partners from the rest of the group and then move in with them for three weeks for a trial marriage. Then they move in with their original partners for three weeks for a second trial marriage. By the end, they must decide: Will they get engaged to their original partner, get together with their trial partner, or end up leaving single?
Time will tell what happens in Sin City, but I, for one, am ready to find out! The first eight episodes premiere on July 15, with the season finale and reunion special dropping the following week on July 22.
