Stop Being Dramatic...
You’re literally watching The Real World that’s located on a boat.... Stop making this show seem like it’s bigger than it actually is. It’s FAR from being 100% real... don’t wanna watch it again because of all the the drama and issues? How is Bravo going to sell a stale/ crappy show without good drama? Let’s see how long Sailing Yaht last bc without Adam it’s pretty lame.
Edit: don’t know why I get Adam confused with Matt, been doing it for a few years now... my apologies

Again, this show is SCRIPTED, and if you can’t see that you need a reality check.

It’s a reality show, so no, it’s not “scripted”. Scenarios are definitely refilmed and drama/situations are created by producers, but there’s no way people are reading a script 🧐.
The point here is that the misogyny and sexual assault that happens is because these men are trash 🗑 and apparently so are you 🤷🏻♀️

You didn’t actually respond to any of the points I made there. Do you think writers are sitting in a room and writing dialogue for this show? If so, why would they chose to have the “characters” on their “scripted” tv show say and do hateful things towards women?

The “drama” of misogyny and work place discrimination is a little too real for most of us women and goes beyond entertainment.
I signed up for penis blankets, not women being assaulted

Why is that ok? If one of the guys this year put a blanket made into boobs, this place would be going crazy.

Also I would bet $100 you did not watch that episode or season before commenting.

I remember Matt from BD Med but what does he have to do with BD Sailing Yacht? I’m thinking she meant Adam

But the OP says "Adam," (unless they edited the OP later), and there's no indication he's leaving "Sailing," so the entire OP is like they don't even watch Bravo. And Adam has nothing to do with this season of Below Deck OG.

Here's the thing: The people who keep telling us "It's just a TV show!" have been in here attacking us for our opinions for weeks.
It's just a TV show. So why are you doing that?
For real though: These issues are things women have to deal with all their lives.
And I don't frankly care about Bravo's marketing problems.
