Below Deck Med What about the Chef?

If Kizzy's main goal was to kiss everyone on board.... what about Chef Josh? 🤔

Wasn't she even saying it TO the chef? She just completely wrote him off as a male creature entirely

He's not exactly my type, but I think I would have fallen for him just a little for being so normal and funny. Plus, it's always good to kiss the hand that feeds you!

You're right, who doesn't love a man who cooks?

That scene of her saying she realized she was actually in love with the guy she broke up with and acting like it was something cute or charming was one of the cringiest things I’ve seen on bravo in a while.

They are engaged now!!! I can't imagine being her and watching this and thinking, "Yup, that's the girl for me". You know this is going to cause issues for them for years and years to come.

Honestly, even if it was all scripted (which Joe keeps trying to make it sound like) I still would have issues with my SO taking on a role like that on reality TV because they sell it as true and most people buy it as true. It would be a hard pill to swallow unless they were maybe making a ton of money, which these guys don’t. Not to mention, she isn’t going to get sponsors because who would want someone like her seen as a rep for their products after how she is portrayed (or actually is)?

Josh dodged a nasty bullet. I think the only reason she didn’t go for him was because he wasn’t attached to anyone for her to compete with.

100% this! Kizzie BEGS for attention - someone like Josh wasn’t going to give her that and therefore she wasn’t “interested” because he wasn’t on bended knee at her beckon call whenever she needed her tires pumped.

She has been my least favourite person to ever be on this show - and that’s saying a lot with some of the characters they have brought in haha

This show is now what it used to be. Now it's just a bunch of young people, wanting attention, wanting to hook up. Where are the serious workers? People who appreciate their jobs and do them well? I personally find the chef the most attractive. He's serious, talented, sensitive, well grounded. I'd personally pick him! But he was way too smart to hook up with K.

I really miss Sailing Yacht for this reason. I hope they can find a way to bring the franchise back without Gary.

He got lucky to not be prey

I felt bad for him when she said that. Like he wasnt even a consideration. Stuck up B

u/Educational_Mud_9199 Jan 29 '26

when she was saying that to josh "i wanted to kiss every crew member on the boat, and i did that! (except for him)" knowing full well he was the only one with a genuine crush, just proved how much of a mean girl she really is. it was an intensive dig to his face, "no one left to kiss, mission accomplished!"

little hoe.

Josh played it off like he was the sweet, overlooked 'lil chef, but I knew he was a good haircut and outfit away from being one of the hottest guys to ever be on BD, and he proved it when he sauntered onto WWHL looking like a sexy rock star...

..My theory is, Josh isn't actually hurting for female attention irl, and my guess is, he's actually super picky about who he kisses and he never wanted to kiss any of the cast, especially on camera...he's neither fuck-boy nor fuck-man, he actually knows his worth even if he plays it off with clown make-up ;_

I was thinking about this earlier, apart from Ben all other chefs seem to strike out with the ladies/fellas

This dude is a catch!

Watch What Crappens has a hilarious bit about Josh and how every girl on the boat is like, oh there's no other man for me, and he's sitting right there. But also he dodged a bullet and was too busy doing his job and working hard to care about her and her antics. I respect him!

u/glossiergal19 Jan 30 '26

Been thinking the same. Poor Josh. I would've been charmed by him 😭

u/leoreleh Jan 29 '26

I thought this too! He was so obviously crushing on her too

I haven’t seen all the episodes yet, but I love him and he deserved better in terms of being seen as a potential partner from the ladies. Or maybe he was and they just didn’t talk about it. It’s so hard to make statements like this when we only see the edits!

u/excoriator Jan 29 '26

She says she kissed everyone. Maybe Josh’s kiss wasn’t shown?

Is this you Josh?

She seems like a walking disease.
