As they work to decide whether to take their relationship the next the level, given the ultimatum to either commit to marriage or move on, they each choose a new potential partner from the other couples, giving them the “life-changing opportunity to get a glimpse of two different possible futures” over the course of eight weeks before deciding whether or not to say “I do.” New episodes of The Ultimatum air weekly.
