‘The Ultimatum’ wants everyone to do things the Nick and Vanessa Way on this bonkers reality television series.
, hosted by the new unassuming titans of the reality dating television industry Mr. and Mrs. Vanessa Lachey, then you know that they believe strongly in the adage, “absence makes the heart grow fonderThey also apparently believe that their relatable celebrity love story should be the blueprint marriages everywhere, so they’ve swindled some struggling, impressionable, and likely fame-hungry partners into doing everything the Nick and Vanessa Way.
which the Lacheys also hosted. In the first episode, we meet contestants who have given their partners an ultimatum and are then subjected to strange, emotional torture otherwise known as forced, unethical non-monogamy . So, what does that even mean? Well, each individual chooses another individual from a different couple to live with for three weeks, before returning to their original partner for a final three weeks.
