The couples split up and begin to form relationships with other people, and in the end, they must decide whether they want to stay together or if their romance has run its course.
However, the first few minutes of episode eight of the show has caused an uproar with fans as it details a fight between Rae and Zay getting physical.
The episode sees Rae shout "Get off of me! I don't want to talk to you. Get off me, Zay, get off!"
Rae tells the cameras: "I don't think a lot of people would accept someone staying out all night and coming home drunk.
"Smelling like the club, smelling like perfume, and he expects me to just accept that and be okay, I was so p****d when he came home, I literally punched him."

The morning after, the pair get together to discuss last night's events.
Rae begins: "I am sorry I hit you earlier, regardless of what you were or weren't doing.
"I just can't deal with someone being out all night, and not answering their phone, and not coming in until 8:15 in the morning.
"I called you four times, I texted you twice, and you just didn't answer, and your location wasn't working, and you weren't texting back.
"If you were hanging out with your friends, I don't see why it'd be off and why you wouldn't be responding to me."
Zay interrupted : "I don't have to lie to you, you know? I've been trying this hard, you think I wanted to go out and f*****g cheat or something?"
Rae replied: "Yeah, I am so sketched out I don't want you to touch me because I'm worried about where you were."
Zay said: "I don't listen, I don't have to lie, nor do I have to."

Rae continued: "This is ridiculous, stay home and answer your phone, I don't understand, this is not who we are.
"I was so upset, I literally swung on you and punched you, that's not who we are, that's not what we do.
"I felt like it was dumb to say you were ready for an engagement and then stay out all night and not come home, that shows me you're not ready, I don't wanna do this."
As Rae broke down crying, Zay apologised.
But at the end of the conversation, Rae told Zay that she was done and didn't want to be in the relationship anymore.
Viewers were shocked and disgusted by the scenes.

Taking to Twitter, one fan fumed: "Rae punching Zay because he p*****d her off? NOT OKAY! I’ve seen contestants removed & entire shows cancelled due to domestic violence, but Rae gets sad music over her apology? Where she blames Zay? I’m not here for DRAMA, not domestic violence! #TheUltimatum."
Another wrote: "Watching #theultimatum, and while Zay wasn't handling things right by any means, Rae should not be f*****g hitting him.
"That's domestic violence, plain and simple. Shocked they're brushing past this and not addressing it. Really sad to see this. Truly an injustice."
A third penned: "Can’t believe she said she punched him in the face. She should get charged. That’s domestic abuse. #TheUltimatum."
