Alyssa hasn’t starred in Married At First Sight season 14 since the dramatic end of her relationship during a premature Decision Day, but fans argue that none of the remaining newlyweds have risen to the level of notoriety Alyssa achieved throughout her brief journey. Unfortunately, several other season 14 cast members have made worthy attempts to become a villain of Alyssa’s magnitude but neither Lindsey, Olajuwon, nor Jasmina have left fans with the same impression the ex-wife did in her days in Married At First Sight. From Alyssa’s victim complex to her over-the-top personality, here’s why Married At First Sight fans believe Alyssa remains season 14’s top villain.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Alyssa only had half of the screen-time the rest of the Married At First Sight cast has received in season 14, but the unpopular bride proved that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to making an impression on audiences. Although she is remembered in all the wrong ways, Alyssa proved to be one of the most memorable villains in Married At First Sight history and the most compelling facet of season 14. For better or for worse, fans loved to hate Alyssa and no other antagonist has come close to exceeding the unpopular wife’s infamy.

Although they might not be up to Alyssa’s level of unpopularity in Married At First Sight, Olajuwon, Lindsey, and Jasmina have done their best to create captivating conflict throughout season 14 in Alyssa’s absence. Olajuwon, Lindsey, and Jasmina have all succeeded in rubbing fans and their spouses the wrong way, but, remarkably, none of the cast members have replaced Alyssa as the ultimate nemesis of the experimental dating franchise’s fanbase. Despite Olajuwon’s emotional abuse, Lindsey’s smear campaign, and Jasmina’s apathy, here’s why Married At First Sight fans agree Alyssa remains season 14’s top villain.

Why Alyssa’s Worse Than Olajuwon

Olajuwon has managed to become one of the most despised husbands in recent Married At First Sight memory thanks to the manipulative way he treats his arranged wife, Katina. Viewers were instantly concerned about Olajuwon’s chances of participating in a healthy relationship as he confessed he cheated on most of his girlfriends before opting to settle down in season 14. Olajuwon made his case even worse when he asserted his outdated belief that his wife needed to cook and clean for him. Although Olajuwon managed to win over Katina during their honeymoon, the husband quickly started showing his true colors once the couple returned to Boston. Olajuwon shared that Katina wasn’t woman enough for him because she was reluctant to cook and clean for him. Recently, Olajuwon was accused of being emotionally abusive for yelling at Katina after discovering she had a dating app on her phone.

While Olajuwon has been successful in making himself one of the most unpopular husbands in Married At First Sight history, the experimental dating show’s audience believes Alyssa outdid Olajuwon when it comes to enraging viewers. Fans assert that Alyssa is worse than Olajuwon because of her eagerness to give up on her arranged husband, Chris. While all of the other season 14 couples, including Olajuwon and Katina, were enjoying their honeymoon, Alyssa was ruining Chris’ experience by establishing that she didn’t want to even try out their relationship. Although she asserted that she wanted her relationship to work, fans agree that Alyssa never gave Chris a real shot to win her over. Even Olajuwon believed Alyssa only stayed on the honeymoon because she wanted to enjoy the vacation, not to give her marriage with Chris a chance. At least Olajuwon can argue he’s invested in his relationship with Katina.

Why Alyssa’s Worse Than Lindsey

Even though she hasn’t been able to surpass Alyssa as season 14’s top villain, Lindsey has done her best to give Married At First Sight fans a wife to universally root against. Like Olajuwon and Katina, Lindsey and Mark started off their marriage on a high note. Although Lindsey rubbed all of her fellow Married At First Sight season 14 co-stars the wrong way from the jump, Mark seemed to be charmed with the partner the relationship experts selected for him. After Mark requested he and Lindsey slow down the pace of their relationship, however, the controversial wife launched a smear campaign against him. From yelling at Mark in bowling alleys to confessing that he has pursued women already in relationships, Married At First Sight fans agree Lindsey has done her best to humiliate Mark in season 14. Despite her bullying, viewers believe Alyssa remains season 14’s top villain.

While Lindsey’s criticism of her husband has made her an unpopular Married At First Sight cast member, viewers think Alyssa is still the worst season 14 newlywed because of her victim complex. Where Lindsey was open and honest about her issues with her husband, Alyssa did her best to disguise her aversion to Chris in an effort to make herself look like the innocent victim. Although every word out of Lindsey’s mouth is expressed to break her spouse’s self-esteem, fans find Alyssa’s attempt to put all of her relationship’s problems on Chris to ensure she came off as a good person even more difficult to stomach. Where Lindsey is honest about her feelings, Married At First Sight fans agree Alyssa remains season 14’s top villain because she refused to take any accountability for her ambitions to ruin her marriage with Chris.

Why Alyssa’s Worse Than Jasmina

At the beginning of Married At First Sight season 14, Jasmina and Michael’s marriage faded to the background as all of the other couples’ marriages were stricken with conflict from the start. Sadly, as the season continued, Jasmina proved herself to be one of the least popular newlyweds in season 14. Although she might not be the loudest wife in Married At First Sight‘s history, viewers have agreed Jasmina’s behavior has been uncalled-for. Specifically, fans assert that Jasmina is unnecessarily rude to her husband and takes any shot she gets to lower Michael’s confidence. Additionally, fans suspect that Jasmina’s harsh approach to her husband is the result of her disinterest in Michael. Fans don’t approve of Jasmina because she’d rather criticize her husband than work on their marriage.

Coincidentally, Jasmina and Alyssa were accused of committing similar wrongs against their respective arranged husbands in Married At First Sight season 14. Like Jasmina, Alyssa was slammed for not putting any effort into her relationship and sabotaging her marriage because she wanted to be separated from her husband. Married At First Sight fans agree Alyssa remains season 14’s top villain, however, because she has more personality than Jasmina. Although Jasmina might be more effective in hurting her husband’s self-esteem, viewers believe Alyssa made for a more memorable antagonist because of her over-the-top personality. Ultimately, Married At First Sight fans found Alyssa the easiest season 14 cast member to hate.
