Alexis Maloney might have exited The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On before the halfway point, but that hasn’t stopped fans from naming her the season 1 villain. Alexis failed to have a trial marriage with a fellow cast member after her frustration led to her partner Hunter Parr proposing to her and ending her time on the show. However, the first episodes, coupled with brief appearances, have solidified Alexis’ status as The Ultimatum season 1 villain to many viewers.
Alexis arrived with her partner Hunter after issuing him the ultimatum to marry her or move on. The reality star was initially attracted to Cody Kissinger and demanded an explanation as to why he didn’t want to have a trial marriage with her. When Cody politely told Alexis he wasn’t attracted to her, she proceeded to make him look bad to the cast and his partner Madelyn Ballatori. Left with no men interested in her, a frustrated Alexis expressed her negative feelings when April Marie wanted to have a trial marriage with Hunter. This led to Hunter proposing to Alexis and the duo leaving the show early.
Reddit user EllasHorseNeedsMeds called out The Ultimatum season 1 cast member Alexis by calling out the reunion producers for not showing the clip of Alexis admitting she wouldn't be with Hunter if he didn't make enough money. This quickly opened up a discussion as to why many viewers found Alexis to be the most loathed cast member in season 1. “The episode right before he proposed she was talking all kinds of shit about his salary and how she makes more money and doesn’t want to be the breadwinner,“ one confused user wrote. Many viewers were also shocked by Alexis’ comment and cited it as one of the major reasons why Cody likely wasn’t interested in her. Fans were also shocked and embarrassed by how poorly Alexis handled rejection. “This girl is so salty that she needs some fries to go with that salt,” one commenter observed.
While Alexis was slammed for her attitude in The Ultimatum season 1, many viewers also despise her mean-spirited comments. When Alexis returned for a bachelorette party, she made it her mission to hurt April's feelings by trying to convince Rae Williams to be with April’s partner Jake Cunningham. Alexis' villainous demeanor also came out at the reunion when she demanded Lauren Pounds and Nate Ruggles inform the fans whether or not they decided to have kids after they struggled with the topic. Many viewers found that while the other cast members on The Ultimatum aired some redeeming qualities, Alexis was consistently offensive and mean-spirited on the show.
Overall, many The Ultimatum viewers had mixed reactions about Alexis and Hunter leaving the show early, along with Lauren and Nate. Some fans thought that Alexis and Nate were unpleasant to watch, while other viewers voiced their disappointment at not seeing Alexis and Nate in a trial marriage. Many viewers thought that keeping the whole cast would have made the season more interesting, despite many The Ultimatum viewers being happy to see Alexis leave the show early.
