Reality shows are known to have drama that keeps viewers entertained. “The Ultimatum” was no different as it put couples to the test in an unconventional way. As intriguing as the show was, many speculated it was scripted. However, producer Chris Coleen put those rumors to rest (via E! News).
The Cinemaholic revealed that many producers from Netflix’s “Love is Blind” worked on “The Ultimatum.” Both shows involve romantic connections and an individual’s journey to find love. According to Life&Style, speculation that “Love is Blind” was scripted was denied by one of the contestants’ siblings. Melissa Cuevas, whose brother was on the show, took to social media to answer fan questions and denied the show was ever fake.

Similarly, “The Ultimatum” producers have tried to keep their show as authentic as possible. According to E! News, Coleen and fellow producers recruit individuals for the show via social media. He shared, “We obviously do everything that normal casting teams do in terms of being out on social media, but also, we really do try to dig deep into the community and talk to people and go out to the community groups and bars and anywhere you can go in this time.” Coleen shared that the recruitment process determines whether the couples are authentic to what the show is about. The potential couples are interviewed, and producers even speak with their loved ones to truly ensure the couples are, in fact, credible.
