Married At First Sight: Why Alyssa & Lindsey Cause Drama In Season 14
Alyssa Ellman and Lindsey Georgoulis clash, and they are rubbing other castmates the wrong way in Married at First Sight season 14. Alyssa was the first to lead the drama when, hours after her wedding to Chris Collette, she made it clear she was unhappy with the experts’ choice for her husband. She was not attracted to him and never gave the marriage a chance, refusing to even share a hotel room on the first night. Her castmate Lindsey was thrilled with her match, Mark Maher, though she has since thrown shade at him. The two women’s strong personalities clashed with each other and turned off the other couples as well.
Real estate agent Chris was excited to meet his new bride and was patient with Alyssa from night one when she said she felt uncomfortable about some things he had said, though she never revealed specifics on camera. It all went downhill from there. Alyssa walked off each time Chris tried to talk to her and constantly cried out that she’s “a good person,” something that Lindsey found hilarious during the MAFS afterparty. Castmates all consoled Chris as Alyssa refused to engage with him, even while on their honeymoon. When Chris finally closed the door on the marriage weeks before decision day, viewers praised him for leaving one of the most despised wives on MAFS to date.
The other drama lead, Lindsey, is still very much in the mix, but her boisterous personality doesn’t sit well with everyone. During one of Alyssa’s rare appearances at a group honeymoon gathering where the couples discussed their plans for moving in together, she suggested that Chris move into the apartment for the first half of their time together and she for the second half. Upon hearing this, Lindsey, not one to stay silent, laughed and said quietly, “I need alcohol.” However, their friction started earlier, at the bachelorette party, when the outspoken and brazen Lindsey clashed with the quiet Alyssa, resulting in Alyssa blocking Lindsey on social media.
Now that Alyssa and Chris have left MAFS, Lindsey is left to bring the drama on her own, and she has no problem doing just that. When Lindsey was on a boat ride with the other wives, Katina confronted her about an argument she’d had with Katina’s husband, Olajuwon, about whether to speak Spanish on their trip to Puerto Rico. In a harsh confrontation, Katina said to Lindsey, “You poke people. You’re like five years old….Then when you get a reaction, you play victim so much. You’re manipulative.”
Although conflicts are common when marrying a complete stranger, Lindsey took her drama with Mark to new heights on bowling night when she shut herself in the bathroom while on a rampage. With a few drinks in her, Lindsey complained about her husband and his roach-infested apartment. She also threatened to return to South Boston. Considering Lindsey and Alyssa's behavior this season, it's no wonder their Married at First Sight castmates have had a hard time keeping up with their drama.
