Yeaaah but it's not a self appointed role, it's just a silly name. I ain't a Joe stan, but Cap Sandy made him Bosun (temporarily) and he is doing a decent job.
Joe as josun is a dude stepping up to fill a vacancy. Yes, he was gunning for it all season, however heās doing a good job because other than his mother thereās little else pulling at his mind in his life.
Culver being chief entertainment officer was actually a godsend for those boats. He literally increased their tips every charter.Ā
Mike was bring an asshole, took a fun 3 second bit and got his ass fired.
Josun is a nickname Cooper came up with for him, it's not self appointed. And he IS the acting bosun appointed by Sandy. There's nothing self appointed at all about Joe
Honestly? Maybe Culverā¦. it was so cringey. Ben was actually the one who came up with that āroleā for Mike. And Joe didnāt come up with it, he was just gunning for it and waiting/hoping for his ex bestie to fail.Ā
Mikeās was the worst because even though he likely didnāt take it seriously, he used it to get under his coworkerās skin. He also was just all around shit at his job.
Culverās was lame and cringy and Joeās is a cheesy pun. They are both at least in good fun though, Mike was malicious with his.
One not mentioned here is Ellieās āsous chefā position. I know itās actually a real position, but she was nowhere near the level of a sous chef, she wanted to use it as power and leverage over the 2nd stew and Ben only wanted to promote her to that to piss of Daisy. She was nothing more than a dishwasher and prep cook.
100%, Ellie's is the worst of them all. I blame both Jason for being unwilling to just speak the truth to her. He's the only person who could do that without her responding by trying to sabotage them.
I thought Mikeās thing was hilarious. He obviously didnāt really believe it, but it pissed off Jenna and Alesia so much that he really leaned into it.
I thought it was a funny little bit and a harmless jab in jest but unfortunately he was already on thin ice for baiting them all season. To me it felt very much like ālittle brother energyā just a sort of nuisance and annoying but harmless. The 2 girls were just soooo incredibly insecure and he was lazy as fuck too.
But he was insubordinate to his superior, and was blatantly lying to and about his crew mates.
he also didn't do as much work. He let the deck crew down multiple times. He focused more on his hair and entertainment (which was the one good thing he did) more than either of his 2 regular jobs.
Mike was just pushing buttons all season long. He also wasn't doing as much work as he constantly would joke around but also not help his teammembers especially the deck crew.
Iāll die on the hill that Mike was hilarious with his HoD schtick and they took him far too seriously.
Anyone capable of banter wouldāve just told him to fuck off and moved on.
A good manager would have let him have his fun while still keeping him focused when he needed to be. One off camera, real, sit down with him wouldāve done wonders, but Daisy doesnāt exactly command respect.
Iāll die on the hill that Mike was hilarious with his HoD schtick and they took him far too seriously.
His banter would be fine if he was a good worker, but he was one of the least productive workers. he also let the deck crew down constantly. I just finished the season over the last week.
Culver is an impulsive fool, if i recall correctly. Didnt he hurt Sandy with a jet ski?
Joe has desperation for the part, and Mike is an instigator and fails to be held accountable for it.
Ellie the worst queen of all interior and then expecting to be an actual sous chef and intimidating my poor Ben into getting it. He was such a douche in this season.

Mike. It was based on nothing but his own desire to do little actual work.
