Married At First Sight season 18 star Madison Myers and her husband, Allen Slovick, are already on a downward path just days after their wedding. Madison, 29, was looking to settle down with a husband who shared her sense of humor. Allen, 35, won Madison over before they even met with his pre-wedding gift of a banana. Although Allen didn’t fit the bill of Madison’s typical pursuit, they surprisingly hit it off at their wedding.

Allen and Madison share similar professions and made each other laugh from their first moments together. But the dynamic shifted on their Mexican honeymoon. Madison grew more critical as Allen attempted to forge a deeper connection. Madison opened up to her castmate, David Trimble, about the awkwardness of being married to a stranger. David’s wife, Michelle Tomblin, has become the villain of Married At First Sight season 18 for her cold and dismissive attitude toward David. As Madison’s treatment of Allen worsens, she’s beginning to rival Michelle with her negative energy.

Madison Has Made It Clear Allen Is Not Her Type

Her Comments Are Tearing Down Allen’s Confidence

Allen’s physical appearance is very different from what Madison typically seeks out. Allen grew self-conscious following the brunch with Madison’s family, who admitted they were worried she wouldn’t find him attractive. Allen’s personality quickly reinforced her family’s faith in the match, but the meeting left Allen shaken.

Allen confronted Madison, who confirmed he’s not the type of man she used to date. She described her usual type as “metrosexual” and obsessed with the gym. While Allen is a good-looking guy, he’s the polar opposite of what Madison would generally gravitate toward.

This revelation shattered Allen’s confidence. Madison’s honesty is commendable, but she could have been more gentle in her delivery. She admitted she would have to work up to finding Allen physically attractive. Even if Allen wasn’t Madison’s type, she could have told him she still thought he was good-looking. Instead, after their great start, Allen began feeling unworthy of Madison.

Madison Doesn’t Want Allen To Be Himself

She Seems Embarrassed By Him

Madison’s criticism of Allen’s appearance didn’t stop with his looks. She also bashed his wardrobe choices, beginning when he wore broccoli underwear on their wedding night. At the time, Madison laughed about it because she was impressed with Allen’s sense of humor. But her negativity continued during their honeymoon.

While on a paddle-boating date, Allen was opening up about how he’s learned to love himself and feel comfortable in his skin when Madison again brought up his clothing choices. Madison interrupted him to point out his “outlandish” outfit and then complained about his “rambling” when he explained the sentimentality behind his choices. While Madison said she appreciated his authenticity, she couldn’t get past his “out there” style. Madison even admitted she would be embarrassed to be seen in public with him.

Is Madison A Villain Like Michelle?

Madison and Michelle Both Tear Down Their Husbands

Madison’s attitude toward Allen is disappointing, considering they had such a strong connection right away. She gave Allen a false sense of security and then took it away. She’s tearing Allen down as he tries to build their relationship, leaving him rejected and without a clear path forward.

While Madison’s behavior is harsh, Michelle’s is worse. Michelle was even less gentle about her lack of physical attraction to David, with her body language literally pushing him away. She doesn’t show any interest in getting to know David or asking questions about his life. Although Madison often responds critically, she at least engages in conversations with Allen and asks him about his feelings.

Madison and Allen have great potential, but her continuous criticism will eventually lead him to shut down and stop trying.

Married At First Sight season 18 has yet to arrive at the biggest storyline of the season. It’s rumored there will be a swap between couples for the first time in the show’s history. Madison and David’s chemistry during their workout session has viewers speculating whether they will be the offenders. If Madison betrays Allen in such a hurtful way, this would be worse than anything Michelle has done.
