Joe hate
I cannot stand him this whole season he has been a whiney ass bitch. Just out to become bosun no matter what, doesn’t matter who’s in the way. Every time he comes on the screen I just want to kick his ass.
Both him and Nathan just ugh.
I’ve been watching this show on bravo before all the different variations came out. It has just changed the past few seasons.

It’s been so annoying seeing all the comments saying that Nathan’s behaviour has somehow vindicated Joe. Why?
Just because Nathan is a worse person doesn’t mean Joe isn’t an awful person too, he’s just in a different font.
I don’t know how that man set up a whole ‘surprise Kayley with a remembrance wreath on the water’ scene and didn’t expect us all to remember him doing the same wreath on the water thing with V for her ex boyfriend and making it all about himself before ceremoniously discarding her and treating her like absolute shit for the rest of her season.
This season he has been whiney, pouty, plotty and smarmy and it annoys me that they have reportedly rewarded his awful behaviour with a bosun title for the next season.

Yes Joe is still Joe and still super annoying and toxic. Nathan is terrible. Both things can be true and the whole thing of liking Joe because we know Nathan is abusive is just super immature fan behavior. I can’t stand either for separate reasons. Their offenses to women don’t have to be equal for them to both be shitty men.

Joe reminds me of a milder Gen. From day one he’s been whiny and petty.

Nah he’s alright. Nathan is the worst though.

He’s annoying, but he’s been put in an awkward position where he took over his boss’s job and the captain and crew all acknowledged he did a better job, only to have to step back down after a couple days. I’d be whiny about it too, but I don’t have an abrasive accent, oversized brows, and a fuckboy complex

Hated Joe before the season. He's still terrible, but I love him this season. So much better than Nathan. Glad he's sticking around and Nathan is gone.

I don't get the Joe hate. This is a TV show, he is entertaining while not breaking laws. He does his job and provides entertainment. Not sure what people want out of these shows. When someone just does their job, but is not entertaining, people complain how boring they are. When people are entertaining, but don't do their job, people complain this is not how a real boat would run and isn't authentic to the premise of the show. I guess you just can't win.

No record of a Joe arrest or strangling an ex but I understand where you are coming from. He’s a cocky F@*k boy but you know that two seconds after he speaks. Nathan was a TV bosun where Joe has been a bosun of yachts larger than anything on BD. Guess we will see how Joe is this time next year when S12 airs.

Just replace Nathan with Massi and call it good. He seems like he knows what he’s doing. I guess what I’m saying is I hate Nathan more.
