Alyssa went down as one of the worst wives to ever appear in Married At First Sight, but after season 14's latest episode, fans think Jasmina is just as aggravating as Alyssa, albeit less interesting. Jasmina and Alyssa started Married At First Sight season 14 as polar opposites, but as Jasmina has experienced more conflict with her husband, viewers have discovered more similarities between the wives than they'd like. From Alyssa's immediate disinterest in her spouse to Jasmina's reluctance to work on her marriage, here's why Married At First Sight fans think Jasmina is a boring Alyssa.
Viewers believe Alyssa earned her spot as one of Married At First Sight's most infamous villains only a handful of episodes into season 14. Although she did her best to hide it, fans believed Alyssa was ready to give up on her marriage with her arranged spouse, Chris, from the moment she saw him on their wedding day. Alyssa went on to distance herself from Chris throughout their honeymoon and refused to take any accountability for their relationship issues. Although Jasmina's connection with her husband, Michael, got off on a much better note, her latest actions have been reminiscent of season 14's most unpopular cast member. Based on her apparent indifference toward her husband, Married At First Sight fans think Jasmina is a boring Alyssa.
In the most recent Married At First Sight season 14 episode, Jasmina and Michael got into a heated argument after a conversation with expert Dr. Viviana Coles. Jasmina implied that Michael had to do more work than she does and was resistant to following Dr. Viviana's advice altogether. When Michael pointed out Jasmina's unfair standards, the wife chose to step away from the disagreement rather than work through their problems. Fans think this is eerily similar to Alyssa's approach to her marital problems with Chris at the beginning of season 14. Despite Chris' best efforts to talk through their issues, Alyssa was only interested in distancing herself from her husband. Additionally, Alyssa was known for trying to make Chris look like the bad guy to salvage the way Married At First Sight's audience would perceive her. A Reddit user cemented, "[Jasmina's] just an EXTREMELY boring version of Alyssa."
While she was unanimously despised by the Married At First Sight fanbase, no viewer could complain that Alyssa made for boring television. Throughout her few episodes in season 14, Alyssa was the catalyst for several dramatic arguments and gave Married At First Sight fans someone to hate. Where Alyssa made a great villain, viewers believe Jasmina has been an antagonist that isn't interesting enough to root against. Fans think Jasmina is a less obvious villain because has been more effective in seemingly caring about her marriage than Alyssa was. A fan analyzed, "[Jasmina's] Alyssa, but trying to show off that she's 'trying' even though she's definitely mentally checked out." Just like the fate of Alyssa's marriage with Chris, viewers think Jasmina's lack of interest in Michael has doomed their relationship. Instead of fighting for Michael, one commenter joked, "Alyssa and Jasmina should marry each other."
Jasmina might not be as universally despised as Alyssa, but Married At First Sight fans think that pair of season 14 wives are birds of a feather. Based on their readiness to abandon their marriages and blame all of their problems on their husbands, fans think Jasmina is a boring Alyssa. Hopefully, Jasmina can differentiate herself from Married At First Sight season 14's villain before her marriage meets a similar fate.
