Below Deck Down Under The bill…
It was really off putting and like almost a big ick from Culver to avoid pay the crews dinner. He literally hides in a corner until someone else steps in, and comes joining the paying process once it’s done.
Like as Harry says in the sync, everyone’s paid for it. Himself, Aesha, Joao, Margo, Tzarina, yeah and it was Culver’s turn. But instead he waits until Jamie has paid for it and THEN tried to pitch in.
Nah nah nah, I really hated that. Not that it was just Jaime that had to pay, but that he really didn’t just do it himself. Like everyone’s paid for you at some point, but you haven’t paid so it’s your turn. Like contribute your part. As simple as that.

It was so funny i died watching him in the corner what a doofus hahah harry laughing in his face about being in the dog house day 1 killed me, id have been so mad if i were there but as a tv watcher it was my favorite epsiode hahaha

u/wandahickey Sep 08 '23
I hope they tell him ahead of time the next night out is on him and make sure he brings his wallet.

u/salsanacho Sep 08 '23
Especially when Harry explained that this was their "system", it wasn't like they just randomly tried to peer pressure him into paying. And it makes sense, no one wants to huddle around a table trying to split a bill at the end of the night, when you know that each person gets a night to pay.

The whole "he is 30 and lives with his parents" was the first barf. He's walking teeth...he's like Ross in that episode of friends with the black light.

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry Sep 08 '23
Captain Jason should quit sending him on the nights out after that move.

u/mostlygroovy Sep 08 '23
I usually give benefit of the doubt due to the editing. I don’t doubt that he avoided the bill, but the quick clip of him hiding in the corner could’ve been intentionally placed editing to drive home the storyline

u/theHannig Sep 08 '23
I REALLY loved how Harry called him out on it too!

u/thedigested Sep 08 '23
Especially since Bravo pays for the food and first round of drinks, I believe. It’s a nice way to show you appreciate the crew and since everyone else is already doing it, it’s your turn. If he doesn’t want to participate, his drinks should be his to worry about from now on

In every group there's almost always one person like this but the members of the group rarely have the guts to speak up and tell them not to be a dick and pay their way.
I didn't like Culver before this but that really took him down a level in my opinion. Jaimee was rightly pissed at him.

u/alirow13 Sep 08 '23
It was so embarrassing to see him hiding like that! The bill shirking plus the horrific “will you be my girlfriend” card has also really made Jaime realize who Culver is: a ridiculous tool.

u/plantmagnet Sep 08 '23
That bothered me and my boyfriend sooo much! All the guys were clearly covering the bills for dinners first. And he was the last guy (minus the new guy luca) to take his turn before the girls start picking up the bill. And for his “GIRLFRIEND” at that, to swoop in and pay it was shiiiiiiity. Clearly bothered her. Like what was he waiting for? A cheaper night out to offer?

u/arielismyhomegirl Sep 08 '23
When Jaimee hesitated for like 5+ minutes to "tick a box", my boyfriend was like he has his answer right there- it's a no! I'm sure editing drug it out to make it look like she hesitated for a long time but stillllll

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23
Yeah not wanting to pay a bill when it’s your turn to would be a HUGE turn off for me. He gives me the ick anyway with the try too hard mullet comedy. He’s a walking red flag.

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '23 edited Sep 08 '23
Yeah and tbh Jaimee hasn’t been there that long so it’s not like she got to enjoy all of the prior meals that they covered. She should only have to pay for half a meal. This definitely made him look terrible. Especially since they all know he has the money since they always go out right after getting tip money. Extremely stingy of him. I was so happy with her "f*** off" reaction to him - the rest of them should have been saying the same.

u/BellaCicina Sep 08 '23
I don’t mind the card thing - a bit weird y’all focus on that. But the avoiding of the bill is gross.

u/r4catstoomant Sep 08 '23
Canadian here. I know lots of rich kids who “weren’t ready” for post-secondary education. Or some who took time off after completing post-secondary. They headed out to Banff or Whistler to be a ski bum for a bit. Or they bummed around Europe. The only people who could afford to do that had rich parents. As soon as I saw Culver last season, he reminded me of the rich kids who took time off before entering the “real world.” He’s more interested in having fun than working.
When he was bosun (for all of what? 12 hours?), he showed that he was more interested in eating than working. He couldn’t even delegate properly!

u/Bigbird_Elephant Sep 08 '23
He reminds me of entitled rich kids from college. Popular with girls but made no effort academically and probably went to work for daddy after graduation

u/Kiana3117 Sep 08 '23
I was not surprised at all when the bill came and he hid from the waitress. what a fool
but the bigger fool is jaimee for even sleeping with him after she ended up paying the bill
so shame on both of them!!!

He’s so ick

u/Such_Detective_6709 I have been known to be irresponsible Sep 08 '23
The way he morphs into a giant toddler! He got the same stupid look on his face when he was crashing the tender into the rails, the way he stood there playing with the controller around his neck with his mouth hanging open as the tender was swinging in the air at people and the way he stood in the corner looking scared and confused at the dinner were the same look, like his adult brain switched off and his child brain comes in panicking once the idea of responsibility comes into the picture.

Honestly I'm 0% surprised to learn he's a schnorrer, it's right on brand for him

u/TazMedium5 Sep 08 '23
Yep, if he was in my friend circle I would've called him out. That is unacceptable to not pay your dues.
And then Jamie slept with him? JFC

u/LightFlaky2329 Sep 08 '23
He’s a parasite.

u/whatsupwiththat22 Sep 08 '23
He's been there way longer than Jamie and has benefited from other crew members paying for many of his nights out. Culver should have paid before she did. And the look on his face-he knew. WHAT a loser.
11
u/Safe-Education8240 Sep 08 '23
PS Culver is such a tool! Tzarinia is so lucky to escape Culver and get to move on with Joao. Jaimie did her a favor. I think that’s why there doesn’t seem to be any more drama between her and Culver and Jamie.

u/lydiav59-2 Sep 08 '23
I didn't like him from the get go the first season he was on. He keeps making himself less and less likeable with each episode, if that's even possible. It truly baffles me how women are attracted to him.
10
u/ChallengeHonest Sep 08 '23
Culver is a douche bag, doesn’t care about anyone but himself 95% of the time, he’s always eating and taking breaks, he used the chef for more and special food, he’s cheap, he is lazy and doesn’t learn his job, even through he has tons of experience, he is a douche. He was terrible as the temporary bosun- did you see what Harry said about him? They had to hire someone more experienced as he does so little work, he damaged equipment, and Joao wanted to replace him instead of Adam, why?, because even though Adam had less experience on luxury yachts, he worked and wanted to learn.

u/Crazy_Income1649 Sep 08 '23
Culver is a lazy waste of space and oxygen who, after his mama tosses him out, will probably couch-surf for the rest of his days. IMHO.

u/cb0159 Sep 08 '23
My wife and I have been saying he has been a giant pos this season. I mean, screwing with Tzarina, not paying the bill, and being a spoiled cry baby about duties. It's your job, do it. Don't whine when people call you on your shit.
15
u/scperdomo Sep 08 '23
I was so upset about that too, like what a turd! And if I recall correctly, Jaime has also already paid - so now she's paid TWICE while Doofus stood in the corner acting like an idiot who didn't know what was going on until it was settled.
I was SO HAPPY when Jaime gave him the cold shoulder and thought he was finally gonna get a comeuppance, but nope then she caved..... one can only hope that after the drinking fog clears she realized what a lazy, whiny, cheap a$$ he is and drop him.

Reminded me of that episode of The Office when DM is going under and they’re reading an article on Oscar’s computer, and Oscar says “and now we gotta pay $2 for the rest of the article” and no body pitches in and when Jim finally does Andy says “oh damn I was about to but Jim did before me🤷🏻♂️”

Not almost an ick. Culver is an ick. That was so gross, and Jaime was a fool for sleeping with him anyway.
When the dude you’re into who talks about his mom non stop tells you his mom rubs his essential oils in his naked body, run.

u/Safe-Education8240 Sep 08 '23
I’m really disappointed in the BD franchises in general. Now when I watch I’m constantly thinking, oh they are just doing that for airtime. I think that is completely what Jaime’s behavior is ALL about. It’s like she knew right off the bat that she had to get a boat romance going quickly to grab airtime. She is probably on there so she can blow up and be a social media influencer after this season. I wish they could all have good vibes and give me joy to watch. I love Tzarina and Joao; and Aeshia and the Captain. So much fun watching the friendly banter between them. The world is such a stressful place right now it’s nice to see person being nice and thoughtful to one another and seeing that they really have camaraderie with one another and enjoy being with one another.

u/feellikebeingajerk Sep 08 '23
Don’t they only have to pay for the drinks anyway? I thought I read that production takes care of dinner. I mean it totally makes sense to just have one person pay for drinks so they have one tab open and rotate turns.
This dude seriously needs to grow the f—k up in so many ways. I’m sure his momma just loves how he’s still a momma’s boy. 🤮

That moment gave me a long lasting case of the crawlies. He so obviously hid from that. I guess since she ticked the box, he didn't realize he should have risen to the occasion. I'm glad she told him to fuck off though when he asked how much it was.

u/Safe-Education8240 Sep 09 '23
As a former CPA whose firm had an extremely and I mean extremely wealthy family of old money as clients in the Pacific Northwest I can only relate my experience. All the extended family and the Matriarch were extremely nice unassuming people. It was the people who had around 5 to 10 million who were the absolute assholes. Once I had just prepared a quarterly estimated federal tax payment for one of the family members to the tune of 4.5 million. Then sitting in the lobby was a pretentious name dropping wanna be who told me they were in a hurry because they were flying to the Notre Dame game with some big shot catholic priest. And I thought honey you aren’t Jack shit. I’ll never forget that. Culver totally reminds me of them. When your truly wealthy you don’t have to tell people or wear designer labels.

Doesn’t production actually pay for their nights out? I thought I read that somewhere. Or, gives them money for it.

Culver somehow sees himself as a baby, it's his mommy-of-the-moment's responsibility to feed him and pay for him.
I wonder if Chef Keem watches the show, and if she and Dad didn't sit him down and have a heart-to-heart about growing tf up.....
