![]() In other words, it’s sick-but no one is really pretending it isn’t. That “shocking” footage is then played to the original partners in a “bonfire ceremony” designed to make them go absolutely nuts. That’s clear from its clubby up-tempo pop, tropical setting, and the way it challenges its cast to do stuff like lick whipped cream and chocolate sauce off each other and take group showers. Temptation Island, like The Ultimatum, is also ridiculous-but in its defense, the older show has the benefit of being self-aware. Separated by gendered villa, the members of each couple are preyed upon by some 12 singles, who proceed to aggressively woo the contestants. That series features four couples of various duration who, for whatever reason, want to test their fidelity. reality program that first ran for three seasons from 2001 to 2003, but was revived recently. There’s a somewhat similar show airing right now called Temptation Island-an O.G. in Santa Monica recently, and it took everything in me not to ask them why on earth they’d appear on this show.) ![]() ![]() (I spotted one of these couples dining on Ocean Ave. After that, they’ll then enter a second three-week “trial marriage” back with their original partner, and at the end of the show, they’ll decide whether to propose to the old person, propose to the new person, or leave single. B oth strangers have to choose each other mutually to enter this trial marriage. What’s crazier is this: Ultimatum has each couple pretend to break up, then makes every contestant enter a three-week “trial marriage” with another “newly single” contestant. That’s hardly the craziest thing about this show. The partner who isn’t so keen on marriage has their reasons: They aren’t ready they aren’t sure if this is “the one” only one of them wants kids only one of them is human. It features six established couples, all made up of pairs in which one has given the other an ultimatum to propose or break up. Not so with the chaotic new Netflix show The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, an experiment from the creators of Love is Blind so torturous it should probably invoke ethical review by the Office for Human Research Protections. When they see the object of their affections getting hot and heavy with someone else, their mild territorial jealousy is based on the supremely low stakes of having spent all of 48 hours together. That’s not how love works! Reality show people are weird! Desperation isn’t sexy! But at least these people aren’t already in relationships. Contemporary matchmaking shows that corral heterosexual strangers to mix and mingle, demanding that they lock someone down after mere weeks of so-called dating- Love is Blind, Sexy Beasts, all the Bachelors and Bachelorettes-are a special kind of farce.
