    We're still a few weeks away from its premiere but The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On is already getting some major hype before its debut.

While one partner is ready to settle down, the other has yet to pop the question.

    Over the course of eight weeks, these couples will be separated and live with other partners to help them decide if they're actually ready to marry their love or break up for good. They may even end up bringing home someone new!

There was just one way to escape the heat of the inferno — if they matched with a partner to take to paradise. Only there could the contestants reveal their ages and professions, forcing them to get to know each other on a deeper level while on the island.
