Married At First Sight: Fans Think Jasmina's More Harmful Than Alyssa
Jasmina has been replacing Alyssa as Married At First Sight season 14's villain. Fans think Jasmina's methods are more harmful than Alyssa's.
Jasmina has been labeled a less interesting Alyssa, but the more screen time Jasmina gets in Married At First Sight season 14, the more fans believe she is more toxic than season 14's most unpopular wife. After her calamitous honeymoon, viewers didn't think any other season 14 cast member could be as difficult to digest as Alyssa, but some fans believe Jasmina's subtle efforts to hurt her husband make her more dangerous. Based on Alyssa's blunt approach to the end of her marriage and Jasmina's manipulation, Married At First Sight fans think Jasmina's more harmful than Alyssa.
From the start of Married At First Sight season 14, fans agreed that few wives in the experimental dating series' history have been as unlikable as Alyssa. After appearing to have no physical attraction to her arranged husband, Chris, on their wedding day, Alyssa swiftly threw the towel in on their relationship. While on their honeymoon, Alyssa shut down Chris' efforts to work through their differences and distanced herself from her short-term spouse. Alyssa irritated viewers by failing to take any accountability for the role she played in the dumpster fire her marriage turned out to be. Viewers were surprised to find Jasmina use similar tactics in recent episodes, and some fans even think Jasmina's more harmful than Alyssa.
Jasmina and her husband, Michael, received little attention at the beginning of their Married At First Sight journeys. While Alyssa was yelling at producers and Lindsey was starting fights on airplanes, Jasmina and Michael's relationship faded to the back of viewers' minds. In the latest Married At First Sight season 14 episodes, however, Jasmina's unfair treatment of Michael has been a hot topic for the fanbase. Like Alyssa, Lindsey has been criticized for emotionally abandoning her marriage and failing to take any responsibility for the downward trajectory of her relationship with Michael. Fans believe Jasmina's not attracted to Michael and is determined to make their lives miserable until Decision Day. Viewers think the only difference between Alyssa and Jasmina is that Alyssa ended her marriage instead of dragging it on. One Reddit user shared, "Jasmina is not attracted to Michael... Unlike Alyssa, she decided to stick it out."
Although Alyssa was brutal with Chris during their brief relationship in Married At First Sight season 14, some fans think Jasmina has been even crueler to Michael in recent episodes. Alyssa was criticized for trying to play the victim, but viewers couldn't complain that Alyssa wasn't direct about her inability to stay in her marriage with Chris. Jasmina, on the other hand, has been deemed a worse wife because she is dragging her dysfunctional relationship out longer than she should. A fan explained, "Alyssa’s method was probably better and less damaging to her husband." Additionally, viewers think Jasmina's more harmful than Alyssa because Michael's more invested in their toxic marriage. Where Alyssa's upfront style allowed Chris to avoid heartbreak, one commenter asserted, "Jasmina is really making Michael feel bad." Although Alyssa's personality cemented her as season 14's villain, a viewer simply stated, "What Jasmina is doing is worse."
No one will be able to claim the villain edit as Alyssa has in Married At First Sight season 14, but Jasmina has surprised fans by her subtle ability to hurt her husband. While viewers think both wives gave up on their marriages early, fans think Jasmina's more harmful than Alyssa by not being upfront about her disinterest in her husband. Fans can only hope Michael follows in Chris' footsteps and calls for an early Decision Day in Married At First Sight.
