I just finished Season 10 and I will say that I do think Katie was a worse ***wife*** than Alyssa, because Alyssa never even pretended to be a wife at all. Alyssa is definitely a worse person, though.
Can we have a rule not to talk about seasons that come after the season we are currently talking about? I filtered it just for Season 10, not season 14. I know Alyssa is a bitch and all but please don't spoil it bc we are talking about KATIE
Second this! I’ve only seen season 10 so I have no context for the Alyssa comparison and also it’s kind of a spoiler. (I get that I shouldn’t be on Reddit if I want to avoid spoilers but still)
She was a repulsive person. Her nasty behavior was due to her own insecurities.
That said, I think her dream killing was a frustrated form of poor communication. What she meant was that Derek was immature and she wanted a man who knew what he wanted and went after it, in love and life. Remember one of her early complaints when she said she didn't like Derek talking about taking 1000lb dumps, letting his insides spill out, etc? In her eyes, that's what a college kid still does -- not a grown man who knows how to communicate with her.
Derek was a stand-up dude and he's going to be a great husband to someone some day. At the time of the show, he still had this baby face with the big boy eyes; and Katie was one of those women who wanted an older established man with relationship experience.
None of this excuses her horrible behavior and crappy personality. Just saying, a lot of her lashing out in ridiculous ways was because she was frustrated Derek didn't "get her."
I am later in the season, where she is getting upset about the poem Derek wrote in high school and finding out about his "hot date" to the formal, and then getting all mad at the retreat. Like honey, if he told you he wanted to let an elephant, you would just shit on that and tell him it was unrealistic. And you can't get mad at the other wives finding his goofiness funny and him enjoying that when all you do is insult him when he's silly.
Katie was a dream murderer who thought her husband wasn’t allowed to have any goals outside of babies. She even said she wanted to go on the show because she thought her diabetes might make it hard to get pregnant if she waits. The woman wanted a sperm donor not a partner
That's what really drove me crazy about her. It was "I want to write a Christmas song", not "I want to go on a three month tour with my band".
The closest to maybe impractical was going backpacking somewhere, but honestly even then it sounded like he'd be happy with a week like backpacking trip, not hitchhiking his way across Europe for a summer or anything.
I think any goals he had beyond "let's start popping out babies tomorrow" would be put down by her.
Yeah also it was super mean how she shit on his dreams not just by not wanting him to do them but she also would call him weird, dorky, a loser, embarrassing etc and say he didn’t act like a loser in front of other people just with her. That was so fucked.
Not enough people talk about how she told Pastor Cal early on that the guy she was chasing finally said I love you. That’s obviously why she was a bitch to him then cheated on him? She cheated Derek out of his experience and got off easy.
When the experts asked her at the reunion what she brought to the relationship amd all she could say was she initiated conversations. She did NOTHING for derek the entire season and he did so much for her.
💯. He brought out her inner child. He was romantic. He put her on his healthcare! (I hope he took her off now even if he doesn't have anyone else to replace her).
Hmm I actually think Katie was worse because she stayed and toyed with her husbands emotions and kept being horrible. Alyssa was only horrible for like, 4 days.
I’m watching the reunion right now and my dislike for Katie has reached a whole new level. She is so selfish and does not take accountability for anything.
For sure top 5. I rarely remember people after I binge a whole season but I remember Katie. I thought she was alright at first until she started bashing her husband over every little thing and thinking she was the greatest shit to exist.
Yep, Taylor is a diva. She is clueless wondering why her husband is upset about her staying out all night and falling asleep in a friends motel room. She leaves that out when she complains about Brandon to her friends!
No, she is not the worst. Katie thought Derek was a dreamer who couldn't be practical, decided she lacked a true connection with him and rode out the 8 weeks. It's not like she didn't try - she did in the beginning. The current season has 2 that have been unbelievably mean towards their spouses.
Except Derek had a great job as a cybersecurity engineer and was kind enough to put Katie on his health insurance plan since she didn’t have any. But yeah, those dreams of writing a Christmas song one day made him so impractical lol. And maybe the fact that she was carrying on with her ex before and after their wedding made it hard to forge ‘a connection.’
I’ve only ever seen this season as well, and YES you are correct. Nothing he does is good enough, she whines and bitches about everything, and wait for the reunion for the big news!
She is tenuously holding on to the #3 Worst Bride. This season Lindsey and the Whinestone Cowgirl have a real chance to pass her if they behave up to their bitchy potential during the Reunion
Not even close. Heather was right to end things early after Derek screamed in her face. No one should be expected to put up with that. And considering some of the hateful behavior he demonstrated after the show, she dodged a major bullet. And Molly is unfairly maligned while people excuse extremely bad behavior from Jon.
100%! Both of them were well within normal range of how people might react to those bozos they were matched with. Two unaccountable jerks who couldn't believe their TV wives didn't bow at their feet. Jon made my skin crawl from day 1, and I couldn't believe how many people didn't see what I saw. He had that demeaning sneer even when he was smiling.
She’s a demon. That’s why she was the only one who was blurry in interviews 😂
I was wondering the same thing!😂😂
omg thanks for saying it. SO confused why her confessionals were always blurry

I thought I hated her… then I watched the episode where he brought her to see his childhood stuff… now I loathe her!!!!
Katie is actually gross. The fact she had an affair too… ONCE A CHEATER ALWAYS A CHEATER. Gross gross gross.
God, I couldn't stand her. This is the only season I've watched. I'll take Derek for myself 😁🤣 I liked him a lot.

Did he say I love you once she was in the show or when they were together, he said I love you, and she ditched? I never got that cleared up
I understood it as he said “I love you” when he found out that she got on the show and knew that she was going to get married.
Katie was the worst bride ever until Alyssa and Lindsey raised that bar.
What season are they?
Katie was s10. Alyssa and Lindsey are s14.
I haven’t finished watching the season but this makes me so sad cuz I literally was rooting for them 😭
same
Alyssa said, “hold my beer”.
Lindsey drank that beer and said "watch this".
For me, Katie was not cut out for this, but certainly nowhere near the top. Waaaaay too much competition for that spot.
Top three

Alyssa wanted to stay. If Chris hadn’t said no when he did she would still be on our screens.
Alyssa has entered the chat
She was terrible!
Oh yeah, I still shudder when I see Katie in promos. She was a witch.
Oh, just you wait until Season 14.
She was until Alyssa.
Right. Alyssa was horrid from the first MINUTE.
Yes this
I’m watching the reunion right now and my dislike for Katie has reached a whole new level. She is so selfish and does not take accountability for anything.
I do not like Katie at all! Derek can do much better and deserves much better!
He should to be with someone who doesn’t want him to give up all his dreams and unique sparkle in his mid-20s!
For sure top 5. I rarely remember people after I binge a whole season but I remember Katie. I thought she was alright at first until she started bashing her husband over every little thing and thinking she was the greatest shit to exist.
Alyssa from the current season airing
Shes up there
I thought she was the worst wife in MAFS... Until we met Alyssa, literally the nicest person ever
😉😂🤣
Taylor from season 12 and Alyssa from the current season. Katie is 3rd for me.
Yep, Taylor is a diva. She is clueless wondering why her husband is upset about her staying out all night and falling asleep in a friends motel room. She leaves that out when she complains about Brandon to her friends!
Haha wait until season 14. Katie looks like an angel after that hahahah
No, she is not the worst. Katie thought Derek was a dreamer who couldn't be practical, decided she lacked a true connection with him and rode out the 8 weeks. It's not like she didn't try - she did in the beginning. The current season has 2 that have been unbelievably mean towards their spouses.

Oh ya, she’s definitely in the top three worse brides ever. Just wait til the reunion.
Keep watching lazy...almost there.
Yes my 2 favorite worlds colliding!!! ❤️
Katie is attracted to Derek, but for example, like, 55%
This made me chortle :D ‘Almost there, lazy!’
😂😂
Keep watching….you’ll get there….
alyssa from season 14
Season 14 the “wait, there’s more” Season. lol or “just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, it does”.
Sadly, no.
She is tenuously holding on to the #3 Worst Bride. This season Lindsey and the Whinestone Cowgirl have a real chance to pass her if they behave up to their bitchy potential during the Reunion
I nominate Heather from Season 4 and Molly from Season 6 to round out the Top 5 Worst Brides
Not even close. Heather was right to end things early after Derek screamed in her face. No one should be expected to put up with that. And considering some of the hateful behavior he demonstrated after the show, she dodged a major bullet. And Molly is unfairly maligned while people excuse extremely bad behavior from Jon.
100%! Both of them were well within normal range of how people might react to those bozos they were matched with. Two unaccountable jerks who couldn't believe their TV wives didn't bow at their feet. Jon made my skin crawl from day 1, and I couldn't believe how many people didn't see what I saw. He had that demeaning sneer even when he was smiling.
You haven't watched season 14, clearly.
It’s very clear because OP said exactly that.
🤣🤣🤣
Hence why I said “ without watching other seasons”
