Here’s who came out looking the worst after the chaos of The Ultimatum reunion

You already know who’s at the top of this list


The Ultimatum season three reunion was wild, and some of the contestants came off looking the worst we’ve ever seen them. Crying, arguments and an iconic acrylic nail made up the hour-long episode which released on 18th December, but who actually came off looking the worst? Here’s a ranked list: You already know who’s getting awarded first place.

10. Zaina

Zaina came out looking the ABSOLUTE best and I’ll have no argument about it. Fight with the wall.

She became the most iconic person on reality TV when she whipped out a perfectly manicured fingernail with a QR code which took Nick and Vanessa Lachey to text messages between her and J.R. It was the perfect revenge on a man who had lied to her about kissing Sandy. A huge fan of this diva!

9. Aria

If it weren’t for Zaina’s fingernail, Aria would be claiming the top spot of the best person at The Ultimatum reunion. She looked gorgeous, was well-articulated, and opened up on some incredibly emotional topics that made us all teary-eyed. The courage it must have taken her to admit everything she’d been through in the last year was incredible, and she made Scotty look so small compared to her. Their engagement didn’t work out for whatever reason, but Aria has proved herself to be such a strong and resilient woman!

8. Vanessa

Vanessa’s honesty and down-to-earth vibes throughout the reunion is honestly what kept me going. She was really calm and collected when addressing quite hard issues about why she left the show. She spoke about the “uncomfortable” things that happened behind the cameras with Nick, but wouldn’t bad-mouth him when it came to serious issues.

“It’s not my dirty laundry to air. It’s not my trauma. You haven’t accepted that you have a lot of work to do to process your trauma,” she told him.

7. Mariah

I don’t really have any feelings towards Mariah. She was sweet and unproblematic, although I did feel for her when Aria and Caleb were talking about their connection. There was obviously one there, and it must have hurt to watch back. Nonetheless, she kept a brave face and a united front. A win, I guess?

6. Nick

Nick has been one of those people all season that I just cant tell if I like or not. He’s really had his moments, but like Vanessa said, he obviously was going through a lot. I won’t send him any hate for that.

5. Dave

via Netflix

On the whole I was very mid about Dave, he didn’t wow me but he didn’t disappoint me. I absolutely lost it laughing when he said he used to be a real “smooth talker” with the ladies, and then the producers showed him having the most humbling, quiet conversation with Sandy. Way to disappoint xx.

4. Scotty

I have literally never been a fan of Scotty, and the reunion didn’t change that for me. I just really feel like he didn’t fight for Aria at all, and after everything she went through she really needed someone fiercely on her side. He really lost a gorgeous gem of a woman.

3. Caleb

Caleb very much disappointed me during the reunion. I was happy to see he was back and thriving with Mariah, who deserves a great partner, but he basically admitted to two-timing Aria and Mariah on the show. I know he and Mariah are engaged, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was so much sadness behind both the girls’ eyes. I feel very torn, hence Caleb’s low rating.

2. Sandy

With most of the audience on Zaina’s side, it wasn’t looking good for Sandy at the reunion. She and J.R. had spent most of the show kissing each other and then lying about it even though it was literally caught on camera. While they definitely had a connection, neither of them wanted to admit that.

1. J.R.

It’s an undebatable truth that J.R. came out looking absolutely diabolical at The Ultimatum reunion. He was ENDED by Zaina’s QR code receipts on her fingernail, and ended again by the producers who made a montage of all the times he was “here for a hall pass.” He KNEW exactly what it looked like and there was no way anyone could deny it.
