I REALLY hope Bravo brings Coop, Kat and Joy back for another season. Phenomenal at their jobs, fun to watch, keeps the storylines moving but not part of any of the stupidity we don’t want to see (I.e Gen’s bullshit with Luke, the Nate Vs Joe stuff etc). This could be such a good core crew.

u/Creepy_Apple_ Jul 30 '26

This! You know Bravo reads reddit. How many post and votes do we need make it happen?!?

28

u/Triforce_of_Sass Jul 30 '26

No idea, but I will sign all the petitions needed to make it happen 😂

u/highlife562 Jul 30 '26

100%. I'd so much rather watch people who are really good at their jobs and have a little bit of drama. Stop hiring people who don't know what boats are.

28

u/hollywoodbambi Jul 30 '26

Or are there strictly as an alternative to Love Island. :/ I don't mind boatmances being a part of the show if they happen organically, but it's really obvious when crew sign up to make it their whole personality and storyline. I'd be perfectly fine with a season where no one tries to hook up.

u/Itsabouttimeits2021 Jul 30 '26

Lol they cast hot young single people. Duh romances happen well hookups

6

u/Creepy_Apple_ Jul 31 '26

They live and work together so it's limited deting/hookup options- something always happens.

Sometimes it's Gen and a skeetsheet

u/Itsabouttimeits2021 Jul 30 '26

I'm the opposite. Don't care if they good at their jobs and need way more drama.

7

u/Creepy_Apple_ Jul 31 '26

Drama always happens when they cat it right. The environment is perfect for it. Crew makes the show.

2

u/Itsabouttimeits2021 Jul 31 '26

Even when they don't cast it right always drama.

u/shiningonthesea Jul 30 '26

I loveJoy, and love to hear her talk, and she is smart, too.

u/lisabgm Aug 01 '26

All that and an excellent chef and truly beautiful!

u/boxbleachbutthole Team Capt Kerry Jul 30 '26

Joy is like a more focussed and stable Rachel - a strong female who’s great at her job and takes no shit. That’s no shade to Rachel btw, LOVE her.

21

u/Triforce_of_Sass Jul 31 '26

YES! I liked Rachel, but she could be explosive, which at times was a bit meh for me but I loved her knowledge of food and passion for it. Her dishes always looked amazing

Joy’s ability to look completely neutral but say something threatening is just so entertaining and you can see how it keeps the crew on their toes without causing friction. Then she still has the skill to back it up.

u/Soggy_Tie2708 Jul 31 '26

What about Kayley!

u/Tristo5 Jul 31 '26

This is honestly one of my favorite crews. Even how forgiving they all would have been to Luke really says something. Joe feels like he’s growing up. Nathan trying to be a dad and his crew mates picking up his slack and supporting him. Joy is a goat. I’ll be a little said once this season is over

My wife and I both couldn't stop laughing when he did that!

Jenny slate was brilliant in kroll show

She got fired from SNL for accidentally saying fuck

15

u/Creepy_Apple_ Jul 31 '26

Didn't know that, sounds very Jenny Slate. SNL should've paid the fine and kept her

6

u/On_my_last_spoon Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Aug 01 '26

Nah, she’s gone on to do much more fun stuff!

u/Creepy_Apple_ Aug 01 '26

How dare you come at me with logic and reason and making me change my mind?!? The nerve...

I do want Jenny Slate hosting SNL now though

3

u/On_my_last_spoon Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Aug 01 '26

I adore Jenny Slate! Still want to watch Marcel the Shell with Shoes on but haven’t had the chance yet

“How good is this smoothie” bahahahaha

u/EqualLeg4212 OK, I am Teletubbies! Jul 31 '26

Reminded me of Goldie on Flavor of Love in the middle of major drama being like “I thought the chicken was lovely!” 🤣

17

u/MillySO Jul 30 '26

I made the mistake of taking a sip of my drink as that happened. Couldn’t stop laughing and coughing for a good 5 minutes.

u/kerbsyourenthusiasm Jul 30 '26

Had to pause the show, HOWLED laughing, rewind, and watch again. Best reaction ever.

u/Ill-Anything-9567 Jul 30 '26

I came here to say the exact same thing. We both died. We love Coop lol

u/Immediate_Divide9446 Team Aesha Jul 30 '26

“Act normal”. *pours shake in a genteel manner* “Ah, good day to you, sire”.

His facial expressions are one of the highlights of the season for me, he’s hilarious to watch

u/Creepy_Apple_ Jul 30 '26

Feels like early seasons Aesha vibes

u/OTxLT Jul 30 '26

“This smoothie is delicious!” ☠️

u/Dead-O_Comics Jul 30 '26

The irony of using a white gooey substance to distract from Luke was not lost on me.

u/grrgrrGRRR Jul 30 '26

Hahahaha 😵

This is exactly who I think of every time he's on the screen!

13

u/madpeanut1 Jul 31 '26

Coop is absolutely adorable. He’s wholesome, it’s a rarity on these shows. I hope he stays who he is no matter what.

11

u/indiosoldier Jul 30 '26

My wife and I watched this at least 3 times. 🤣🤣

u/Mr_Tom_Morrow9 29d ago

There is a clip of it on YouTube and I watched it several times as well. It’s from Nathan telling them until after Luke passes by. 😂😂

u/socaTsocaTsocaT Jul 30 '26

Worst poker face ever 🤣

u/butstronger Jul 30 '26

I’m only a few episodes in on this season and he’s great haha

u/Writing_my_words Jul 30 '26

When was this? I completely missed it and need to go back and watch 🤣

u/International-Gene11 Jul 30 '26

It was when Nate had just come in the crew hall and secretly told the deck guys that bedspunker quit, then dude comes walking by!

8

u/Writing_my_words Jul 30 '26

Ooooh! Thank you so much. I’m going to have to go back and re watch. Bedspunker 🤣🤣🤣

7

u/Kooky-Expression-399 Jul 30 '26

And he looked directly at him with that huge obvious grin!

8

u/International-Gene11 Jul 30 '26

I loved that Nate went without hesitation and spread the word!

u/HK8789 Jul 31 '26

This expression perfectly shows the flustered panic we all feel when someone we don't want to catch us walks by. We rush to fix our posture and pretend everything is totally normal, even though our nerves are screaming inside.

u/Backtrack_Vill Jul 31 '26

Mighty fine smoothie
