‘The Ultimatum’ Season 3’s Sandy Gallagher Responds to Jess Vestal Comparisons: ‘Such a Compliment!’

There’s no denying that The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 star Sandy Gallagher looks very similar to Love Is Blind’s Jess Vestal. Sandy recently responded to fans making comparisons between her and the single mom of one.

Sandy, 27, posted a TikTok video on Wednesday, December 4, joking about how her “complicated love life” was about to air on Netflix and would “be on millions of people’s TV screens.” Her comments section was quickly flooded with fans of the show making remarks about how much she and Jess, 30, look alike.

“I thought this was Jess from Love is Blind,” wrote one person.

Sandy replied, “She is STUNNING such a compliment!!”

Several other TikTok users made similar comments and Sandy responded that she thought the comparisons were “so funny.” One fan, however, said that they felt like Sandy looked more like sadcore queen Lana Del Rey. Unsurprisingly, Sandy had gotten that comment before.

“That’s the one I normally get! Lol,” the Netflix reality star wrote in response.

Sandy made her television debut when the first episodes of The Ultimatum season 3 premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, December 4. She and her boyfriend, Nick Tramontin, have been dating for two and a half years. While Nick, 38, is ready to settle down and make the leap into marriage, Sandy isn’t so sure she’s ready. Their age gap has posed a bit of a problem as Sandy questions whether or not she’s at the stage in her life where she’s ready to tie the knot.

During the couple’s time on the show, they explored potential new relationships to see if they felt anything that prompted them to decide whether to marry or move on. Nick was paired with Vanessa Hattaway, but their relationship came to a screeching halt on the third day of their trial marriage. When Nick arrived at his apartment, he discovered that Vanessa, 30, had packed her things and abruptly departed from the show overnight.

“I came back to the apartment and I’m alone,” Nick told the cameras during the episode. “Vanessa packed up her things and left. There was no goodbye.”

Producers then gave viewers more information regarding the cast member’s decisions to leave.

“Earlier in the day, Dave [Adams], Vanessa, Micah [Hardeman] and Chanel [Watkins] secretly met off camera,” a title card for the show read. “That evening, surveillance cameras captured them packing. Dave, Vanessa, Micah and Chanel quickly departed, abruptly ending their experience.”

Showrunner Chris Coelen revealed that he felt like something was “off” with those particular cast members when they made the selections for their potential new partners.

“My understanding and impression was that people within that group were a little unsettled,” Chris, 56, said in an interview with Variety published on Wednesday, December 4. “But I feel like we’ve seen this in every season. “You saw it when Lauren [Pounds] was going to pick Colby [Kissinger,] then in season 2 with Lisa [Horne] and Brian [Okoye]. They ultimately decided to leave.”

Chris added that while “most of the participants really commit to the experience,” some realize they can’t handle the process once they get into the depths of it. While Chris wasn’t able to reach Micah, 28, he did speak to Vanessa, Dave, 34, and Chanel, 27.

“We support whatever you want to do,” Chris said he told the group. “You want to fully participate, awesome. If you change your mind, that’s OK too. We’re interested in the story, regardless of how it develops. But it was very clear they wanted to leave. And we’re always going to be supportive of that.”
