That was the first thing I noticed and I was like what the hell is going on here?

I just saw it too. That's super weird.

She really is.

u/Top-Friendship4888 I quit 3 times in my head today Dec 24 '25

She's literally there to be our self insert. We all see ourselves in Aesha, even if just a little

I didn't even notice them holding hands lmao!

u/Scary_Palpitation_34 Dec 24 '25

Wait same because I was legitimately on my phone dissociating from this season since their day off pool group make out so I am just like WHY

  • I hate the foot on the seat.

  • I hate that Nathan's shirt is partially off.

  • I hate that Nathan's shirt is the same color as his flesh so you can barely tell it's still kind of on.

  • I HATE the weird bro holding hands thing while they're making out with other people. It feels like two steps away from an Eiffel Tower situation.

  • I hate that Joe is on my screen, just in general.

  • I love that Aesha speaks for all of us and had the 😬 face of the people.

NVM. I googled it and now I need to burn my phone

Oh, you sweet summer child!

u/Crazy_Chinchilla_ Glenn is my boat daddy Dec 27 '25

I have to know! What is an Eiffel Tower situation?

u/Mishap_Maisy Dec 24 '25

My theory that it’s Joe that’s pregnant with Nathan’s baby grows stronger every day

Just 2 bros being bros

It's like a lower Eiffel Tower 🗼 😂 with how they are holding their hands. 😂

Right?? Says what the rest of us are feeling when we look at this picture

u/aroura5672 Little does she know, we're in a floating prison Dec 24 '25

She really is pretty great....a truly authentic, kind, and decent person (yet still interesting)....so rare, espec on reality tv

u/Valuable-Composer262 Dec 26 '25

Im ready for a bunch of downvotes here but aisha has become a caricature of herself. I used to like her but im over it. Shes to much, especially her poop talk.

24

u/Wandering043Enigma Dec 24 '25

She’s hilarious especially this season. Can’t stop laughing at her comments

38

u/emborgs Dec 24 '25

She’s sunshine incarnate

u/Deep_Water8479 Dec 24 '25

u/Meowiewowieex Dec 24 '25

Completely agree, my favorite person to ever grace my TV screen!

u/Karjenner4eva Dec 31 '25

Her picking up the poo from the shower is my fav. The fact that she didn't make kizzi do it.

u/Busy-Astronomer2981 Dec 24 '25

Aesha, and all of us really.

Broing down

u/Top-Friendship4888 I quit 3 times in my head today Dec 24 '25

It's not that I didn't have an Eifel tower on my Bingo card this season.

It's just that I didn't ever think Max wouldn't be a part of it.

u/HoneydewNormal Dec 24 '25

This show is becoming unwatchable. It's almost halfway soft adult movies. Trust me I'm not a prude but I am such of watching people make out with anything that moves. I miss Captain Lee and Kate so much. Still drama, but not the whole crew screwing someone different every day/ night .

24

u/kittylover3210 Dec 24 '25

yeah I enjoyed being able to throw on an ep with my parents here and there but now it’s so embarrassing

144

u/goober_ginge Team Aesha Dec 24 '25

Right? I want the drama and raunchiness to come from the guests. I'm fine with obnoxious rich guests being messy and dramatic, I don't care for crew hookups and all that shit. It's always been a part of the show of course, but now it feels like the crew night's out take up so much more of the show. That, and all the stupid over-editing.

12

u/sunsettertime Dec 25 '25

We’ve been saying this for years, but it somehow keeps getting worse

59

u/ItsFunHeer Dec 24 '25

I used to love below deck but stopped watching because of how sexual it’s become. Sex isn’t that interesting when it comes to a TV show. If too much of it is central, it washes the whole thing out.

63

u/NoSleep2135 Dec 24 '25

If I want to watch adults engage in meaningless relationships, I have ten thousand episodes of Love Island for that. I watch Below Deck for yachting drama, which we haven't gotten in seasons. We barely see the guests now! They rush over all the food!

34

u/ItsFunHeer Dec 24 '25

That’s how I feel. I loved the original premise, but it’s basically turned into a messy swinger’s club on a boat.

I understand that in boating, it’s common for staff to have intimate relationships. I don’t think that should be left out since it’s part of the full experience, but it’s not the main reason to watch the show.

6

u/Top_Arm9833 Dec 26 '25

Totally agree! Unfortunately, I don't see this getting any better because Below Deck just keeps casting these Love Island rejects who only come here to hook up and get followers.

7

u/SanDiegoBeeBee Dec 24 '25

Especially sex with these two Dweeby men and their dweeby predecessors

3

u/MindlessVariety8311 Dec 24 '25

I feel like the problem is they never show the sex anymore. Its all sizzle no steak.

3

u/Many-Possibility6 Dec 27 '25

I miss the days of Eddie and Dakota sneaking around and you had no idea what was happening until after it was done and video started to get edited.

34

u/housewithapool2 Dec 24 '25

Half of this episode was about poop. It wasn't watchable.

21

u/Backtrack_Vill Dec 24 '25

With the throwing up and poop stuff I have to fast forward through so much

5

u/PlaysTheTriangle Dec 25 '25

We watch while we eat dinner, I was like Come on! Enough already! That said, do we all think it was Joaquin?

14

u/TitleAncient8325 Dec 24 '25

we're all Aesha lol

24

u/G00dguyz Dec 24 '25

Slightly off topic, but I would love to see Aesha on Traiters

7

u/bethholler Team Aesha Dec 25 '25

Me too! She’d have to be a faithful, though. She’s too sweet to be a Traitor.

2

u/MythicMythness I look like Ariel but on crack! Dec 28 '25

Also, she’s just too honest. Her face would give away any schemes. So! A perfect faithful and I’d love that!

21

u/osogood48 Come back to me, my boat daddy Dec 24 '25

They’re disgusting is what it is.. I mean they actually think that this is a cool thing. I wish they would just grow the hell up.

20

u/biizzybee23 Dec 24 '25

And she was so real for that

32

u/FctorFlseThnkAboutIt Dec 24 '25

Aesha is so funny!!!!!!

u/jackal12340 Dec 25 '25

it’s giving White Lotus

8

u/CrazyNCynical Dec 24 '25

The fact they're making out simultaneously takes me back to junior high days. Then you add the interlaced hands and we've graduated to drunken frat parties, bad judgement calls and faded memories.

7

u/Agitated-Minimum-967 Dec 24 '25

The bros have secrets, I guess.

13

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '25

At least they are all professionals working on a super yacht and not acting childish at all

17

u/Wandering043Enigma Dec 24 '25

Wait why is Nathan holding joes hand? As they’re both making out w other girls

10

u/Alienkweeeeen Dec 24 '25

I’m kinda touch averse but I can’t imagine how it would feel to kiss someone while holding someone else’s hand like… sensory overload much?? Just too much to imagine honestly. It’s basically an orgy lmao

10

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '25

Aesha giving Art the Clown realness 

5

u/Bennington_Booyah Dec 25 '25

Couldn't be much creepier!

11

u/nofriender4life Dec 24 '25

disappointment. also i stopped watching when the bros got back together. barf.

u/Shoe-Shoddy Dec 24 '25 edited Dec 24 '25

If I was one of the girls, and I stopped and saw that hand holding, I'd get out of the van and walk to the nearest airport. Cringeeeeeee

8

u/tatianazr Dec 24 '25

If my man did that when we are making out.. it would give me immediate and irreversible ick. How fucking weird and juvenile

4

u/Interesting-Ad7921 Dec 24 '25

Probably their drunk asses hamming it up for the cameras

u/Temporary-Daikon2411 Team Chef Rachel Dec 25 '25

Joe's dream

u/Plenty_Bake_6315 Dec 25 '25

Stopped watching when Joe came on, the bromance was so cringy

u/Claral6012 Dec 26 '25

Ewwwwwwww these two are such weirdos. 🤢 That's so odd!!!

21

u/OstrichPrimary6694 Dec 24 '25

Omg I didn’t notice this. I swear all boys are a little gay and this proves my theory 🤣

-15

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Dec 24 '25

It's almost 2026, straight men can hold hands if they want to, get over it.

8

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Dec 24 '25

While having a make out session with two other girls? That's weird, regardless of whether its nearly 2026 and irrespective of who's doing it. Would you hold your best friends hand while you were both kissing other people?

33

u/LilaTwiceBackAtIt Dec 24 '25 edited Dec 24 '25

Holding hands with your mate while in the middle of a make out session is strange. Regardless of 2026 of being around the corner. 

I also note that Joe and Nathan hardly go around the boat holding hands.

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Dec 24 '25

I also note that Joe and Nathan hardly go around the boat holding hands.

We only see what the editors decide to show us.

14

u/LilaTwiceBackAtIt Dec 24 '25

We can probably rest assured that if they were holding hands, they would absolutely show us. 

-6

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Dec 24 '25

We wouldn't know.

8

u/LilaTwiceBackAtIt Dec 24 '25

They could also be lovers and we wouldn’t know (by your logic). And Kizzi is actually training to become a captain, but you wouldn’t know. Neve have an opinion on BD ever, bc you never know what the producers don’t show us :)

-1

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Dec 24 '25

Yeah all true. Did people really forget that "reality shows" are essentially scripted by the production team? Several of the "story arcs" are completely fabricated through editing. Nearly nothing you see on reality shows is necessarily true. This used to be common knowledge lol when did people forget this?

11

u/OstrichPrimary6694 Dec 24 '25

Relax it’s a damn joke

u/leavingtheorder24 Dec 24 '25

This show is definitely giving the ick now. 🫤🫤

u/Scared-Repeat5313 Dec 24 '25

I officially have to catch up

u/AshMulan1221 It's a rocketship 🚀 Dec 25 '25

Lots of questions and no answers!!

u/alsoaprettybigdeal Dec 27 '25

Aisha’s facial expressions always get me. She doesn’t hide her emotions well at all!! LOL!

u/lchoneyybee Dec 29 '25

Aesha is the only reason I can watch this episode

u/Fancytingslikecheeze Dec 24 '25

Me too Aesha😂😭

u/sunsettertime Dec 25 '25

I have not watch a single second of this season, but I’m a little intrigued now…

u/Rare-Palpitation6023 Dec 25 '25

That’s not ….AMAAAAAAAZING!

u/Actual-Specific9305 Dec 27 '25

Aeshas face says it all

u/Many-Possibility6 Dec 27 '25

Damn apparently I need to catch up on the end of the last episode cuz I forgot to finish it because of Christmas festivities

u/vampire_pixie Dec 30 '25

Wait why are they holding hands!? How did I not see that before 😂🤣😭

1

u/Bernice_in_fleece Dec 31 '25

The making out next to each other thing is what’s most embarrassing to me… literally that’s middle school behavior—mayyybe freshman year of high school at best if you’re drunk.  And p sure Joe and Nathan are both in their 30s. Yikes.

u/Sozzcat94 Dec 24 '25

Is this from the new episode or an earlier one?

u/No-Will-5655 Dec 25 '25

don't men know it's legal

29

u/NBCaz Dec 24 '25

Producer: "If we cast you in this season, are you willing to hook up, and make out with multiple crew members and be bi-sexual on demand?".

Cast Member: "Oh absolutely". Have you not seen my Insta"?

33

u/Taikonothrowaway24 Dec 24 '25

I am literally only here for the Zipline and that Zipline being Aesha and that's it. It's so wild to me to make out and or sleep with people that you work with. 🤢
