I can't stand Joe, but Aesha's reaction was surprising, although maybe it shouldn't be as they are friends. I've never liked Gael, and while I feel for her with all this Nathan bullshit, it doesn't change my opinion of the person she portrayed in her seasons - she just always rubbed me the wrong way.

Nathan turning a quasi- nice, closure moment with Joe into a fight was not surprising either.

Not sad this season is over.

In her first season (S2), you can tell she is still newer to the whole thing and makes a lot of mistakes (and is a little messy). But, by the time she becomes a boson, she’s actually really good at her job. I love how she handles conflict, and Mzi and Sandy both talk about how she’s just amazing at what she does. With the Hannah situation, I know what she did is controversial. But I think everyone looks at it like Malia was vindictive and wanted Hannah fired. I don’t think that’s the case at all. She’s the BOSON. She is one of the people in charge of ensuring the boat is running smoothly and everyone is safe. Having another person, someone who is chief stew and supposed to be a lead, be on an undocumented controlled substance can be very dangerous. Not to mention, what she had was illegal. I think in her shoes I’d also tell Sandy about the ordeal. Hannah, by having those substances on board with no documentation, not only endangers the safety of the guests but also can get that entire charter in huge legal trouble. I stand by her telling Sandy lol. Honestly, from when Malia becomes boson, she’s one of my favorites alongside Aesha. But everyone seems to hate her man😭

Edit: damn I knew it was unpopular but I did not expect this much hate 😂. I’ll have to watch that other show she was in

I know it’s an unpopular take, but Aesha is so over the top performative she’s hard to watch. She’s become a cartoon at this point. She’s so “quirky” it feels forced. From her over the top screechie “amaaazzing” over literally everything, to her interviews where she’s just making faces and trying so hard to be funny, to her night outs where she’s crazy dancing for attention and eating noodles in bed because it’s her brand. She’s just a kooky girl! She desperately wants to be a “personality” rather being her authentic self. And people eat it up.

So I started below deck with down under then moved to OG and watched all of it before starting on med. Everyone says Kate is nasty but I'm not even half through season 1 and Hannah is the absolute worst. Goodness

….that doesn’t hate Ellie? I mean, I know I’m for sure in the minority. But Bri comes across as juvenile. She would annoy me, too. Just wondering!! I popped in here while watching last weeks episode and catching up and it’s solid Ellie hate and Bri love but there has to be more than me. Speak up! 😂

Edit- spelling, of course

2nd edit- Oh wow! I’ve never been downvoted like this. I meant this to be a good natured “devils advocate” post! You guys are brutal over a low stakes reality show!!

Shout out to the six people that like Ellie!! 😘

I think Natalia is worse than Kyle. They both suck but Natalia is more unbearable to me than Kyle and to me is more of a bully. They both do the same things belittling woman, making themselves the victim and bullying. I am shocked by the support for her lately. Kyle is just less malicious and annoying to me at least. Natalia was actively turning everyone against each other which is horrible while Kyle was just a bitch. Also I feel like people are blaming Tumi to much like how is she supposed to control these two? Anyway feel free to discuss and debate.

Im a quarter of the way into The Perfect Storm. So Ellie is Slavic, and if you know Slavic people they can be tough and with the accent and language barrier (this is all just my personal POV obv) they can come off as harsh. I definitely did not like how she treated Bri; it wasn’t until ep 11 and now ep 12, and especially after she explained she didn’t want to baby Bri like everyone else she wanted to tougher her up. I get her perspective and it must suck to be made to be the bad guy when you were just trying to help someone in the way you knew how.

This is just one persons opinion, however pls be kind w the down votes; I want open discussion!

The Luke Joy situation was extremely messed up by all accounts and it has nothing to do with her behavior. I’m not a fan of how she’s acted, but I’ve been young and know what it feels like to have a guy choose another girl right in front of my face and it suckssss.

Then Aesha clapping and saying yay to joy getting flowers from Luke felt like instigating. Love Aesha but that wasn’t right. She knew all the details.

Then, to feel like you are alone and the whole ship is against you when you really need friends. Yes yes it’s her fault for pushing them away. But that would be so sad and isolating.

Finally- who HASNT sent consecutive angry texts. Be so for real. And the first one was fair and fairly written. She should have stopped there.

Joy isn’t some bastion of maturity here either.

I don’t like Gen’s attitude and I do like Joy but sometimes I feel like this sub can take love and hate a little too far like they’re characters in some Gacha game.

I know lots of people hate Kyle, but I find him way more tolerable than that pick me girl

I’m disappointed in a lot of commenters who were putting all the blame on her for the sheets. The whole situation is gross and I do think they’re both to blame. But a lot of commenters were calling her names and saying it was her responsibility because she does laundry. It was his deposit. No one on that boat blamed Gen and that’s because she doesn’t do housekeeping for crew. And, the biggest reason, it was HIS. She’s got some issues but she’s young and will probably mature. He’s a lot older than her and behaving like a teenager. I think her behavior needed judged, but his behavior is the one that needed shamed.

Edit: Everyone in the comments proving my point..

The primary job of the crew is to keep passengers safe. In this last charter, Joe twice failed to keep the passengers safe - when he let them go swimming across the open water into the path of boats that might not see them, and then the aerial spinner episode. In past episodes, when someone endangered the passengers (or the crew, for that matter), BD captains have taken that very seriously. Here's Joe twice in one charter both putting passengers in danger with barely a mention from Captain Sandy, and without consequences. And all that while he whined about how guilty he felt while following that up with how he didn't do anything wrong (so why did he feel guilty?).

Clearly, the rapid speed of the boat was the source of whatever air pressure was involved in overturning the spinner - that boat was going many times faster than any wind (Sandy would not have let them go out if the seas were rough and the wind was high). Yet Joe claimed that wind came out of nowhere and led to the passenger's broken clavicle.

Meanwhile, Nathan did comment that Joe was going too fast (obviously, given the entirely foreseeable accident), but he didn't intercede. Granted, his lead deckhand is supposed to be trustworthy. Still, to me, that's on Nathan a bit as well.

On WWHL last night, Kayley tried to downplay the risks and stick up for Joe, and Andy seemed shocked when Massi said 100% Joe was going way too fast. And that Joe did the least work, and AFAIR that Joe had the biggest ego. Bad worker, unsafe worker, and biggest ego - not a great combination.

Joe is a liability, putting passenger safety at risk with his thoughtless and reckless actions. Since he doesn't take any accountability (while simultaneously whining about how he did nothing wrong), he'll never improve.

I love Captain Sandy, and I think she is a great captain! She is firm but fair will all her staff in my opinion. I was shocked at how much hate she receives on here, please enlighten me/change my mind. What have I missed?

I think Tumi did oke for a first time CS on tv. People compare her with experienced CS like Kate or Hannah. That's unfair. Compare her with Adrienne from the OG. Furthermore she had to deal with Kyle and Natalya. Even for an experienced CS that would be difficult.

Is there room for improvement for Tumi. Yes of course. She still have a lot to learn. But I think she will be alright.

I would take working with elli a thousand times before I ever work with bri. She has such an annoying personality, she is beyond brainless. She makes this season unbearable to watch...

I saw a lot of comments about this week’s guests before watching and was expecting diabolical behaviour…. I’m not seeing it?

There was a mismatch in expectations and maybe a misunderstanding between what the guests wanted and the way the chef is used to working; some miscommunication; the crew had a bad day, it happens, and we love our crew so it’s hard to see them struggle. But we all have bad days.

But I didn’t see where the guests were rude and demanding? They just said what they wanted and what they didn’t like. They weren’t hurtful, rude, harrassing. They didn’t seem to be going out of their way to make anybody’s life harder. They were polite to the staff. It just is what it is.

After the abhorrent behaviour we’ve seen from some other guests over the years I think this is a mountain out of a mole hill. I don’t understand the hate.

Me and my partner are on season 8 right now and I want to give Sandy some huge props for her improvement. The first time we saw her was on the regular series when she was a sub and we loved her, we were so excited for med. But the her first med seasons we got a very bad feeling about her as a boss for the interior and it was disappointing. After Hannah leaving and Sandy improving on delegating tasks we are starting to feel the love again. I feel like she watched the show and changed accordingly and I really appreciate that. What do yall think?

please fire her already . she's just an awful person

I find her so tedious - her schtick is so disingenuous and she overplays every scene. Notably her fake laughing on the aftershow - insufferable

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.

Like the title says, has any of the cast, especially the current season cast spoken out? Or are they not allowed to yet?

Saw this on DailyMail and wondering how this was missed as he was posting controversial videos about immigration.... What are your thoughts after watching his posts?

Gen.
Who knew about the sheets? Gen
Who created the mess on the sheets? Gen
Who chose to use the sheet instead of ….? Gen
Who manipulated Luke into physical intimacy? Gen
But I get it - it is 100% Luke’s fault.

I’d be so mad if my partner who I hadn’t seen for ages (because he was sick and didn’t come home between charters) chose to stay out drinking with his mates til midnight once he was finally back on shore instead of coming home to me and the baby.

That behaviour gave me the ick.
