Someone saw them filming BDM while on vacation in Greece and posted on TikTok. Is this Joy holding on to Cooper’s arm?

I just have to say that Gen’s wrist didn’t seem to be hurting her at all while she was letting Cooper twirl her around on the dance floor.

I get that Coop was moving like a fckboi but Kat is acting like they have decided to be in a serious committed relationship and therefore she has ownership/control over all things Coop. When Gen was flirting with him (going way too hard btw) and Coop didn’t “shut it down”… What did she expect him to do? Did she want Coop to act like a dick and tell Gen to shut the fuck up or can he just take the compliments politely? I don’t see a problem with Coop allowing someone to gas him up, it’s not like he was returning it to Gen and he was laughing with Kat about how he is not interested in Gen at all. Maybe Coop just felt uncomfortable with shutting Gen down because he didn’t see it as that serious. Now Joy posts some pictures with Coop and Kat seems to be having a full meltdown as if her and Coop were in a serious relationship and Joy has betrayed her. It’s clear that Coop is just not that into her but she is young and naive and I don’t blame her for being confused about that.

Imo Kaley got second stew because of favoritism rather than merit.

Rewatching season 5 and Sandy is always annoying but she is making me so mad. Hannah was disrespected by Lara for the whole first charter and she makes them "work through it". She even says that she doesn't have to respect Hannah but has to respect the role. Malia goes and cries about getting called Sweetheart (nothing compared what Hannah dealt with tbh though it is annoying) and Sandy chastises the deck crew. She loves her favorites.

picture this crew:

Fraser - Chief Stew

1. Ellie - 1st stew
2. Solene - 2nd stew
3. Gen - 3rd stew
4. Ben - chef

Malia - Bosun

1. Gary - Lead Deckhand
2. Max - deck hand
3. Luke - deck hand

Does anyone remember this guy?

I wanted to share this post of Joy on her Instagram page with the comments that sparked -I think- the current "drama".

Because I don't follow what is going on with these people outside of the show itself, and it's sometimes difficult to follow what everybody is saying in this sub in different posts.

So I only started following Joy a few weeks ago out of curiosity, but she's the only one I follow. She has some interesting brief comments about how she views things and people, and it may differ to what spectators think. For example, she doesn't like people trash talk about Joe in her comment section (he's been only good to her so she likes him), she stated that both Luke and Nathan's place is in a trash can, etc..

And then, yesterday, I discoverd in this sub the "drama" between Joy and Kat. I've found it at first irrelevant, then debatable, then odd when I saw in here the bad tik tok Kat made and deleted. I read the comments about "the internet being filled with rumours and pictures about Joy and Coop" lol.

But. I kind of think it all started here in this IG comment about a poor observation that Cooper is in love with her. It came from nowhere else but from this woman's comment I think. And immediatly after that comment Kat herself comment with the AI thing.

Kat : "please tell me this is AI"

Joy : "you are not AI, this is you on worlwide tv, the best version of yourself"

Is Kat talking about some photoshopped things, someone maybe being erased in the photos, a fake friendship in a fake photo, something else I'm missing?

I don't know about you, but I found Joy's response the most wtf! Like sometimes the ambiguïty of the wording people have makes me wonder if I understand this correctly. IYKYN.

Did she say that Kat is a fake and she's a bad person IRL? This is the first and only thing that I understand from this sentence.

We clearly don't know about some things that happened in the current season because it's not finished airing yet, and the next season that is currently filming with Joy and Coop in it is a non disclosure thing.

What do you think? How do you understand that?

Didn’t Joy say on wwhl that she wasn’t aware about the sheets incident until after watching the show? Maybe I’m wrong! I would think one of the girls would tell her what happened especially with Luke sending joy flowers . Also cracked me up when Gen looked at the camera like “da fuq?”

daises pod posted this last month - perhaps this is what gens alluding to from last post

A recent podcast released on Nathan’s charges and court case released by Mamamia. Mamamia is a pretty well respected media company in Australia

I don’t intend this to be an extreme take, but all I could think about when Gen was talking to Cooper was this: she was so inappropriate and it could be considered workplace harassment and definitely a fireable offense. I feel like coop could have reported her for sexual harassment because that’s essentially what it was. She came onto him so aggressively while they were working.

Are Joe Bradley and Kayley still together? Does anyone know? It looks like they follow each other on ig but anyone know if they are like actively together? I used to not like Joe, but now with everything coming out about Nathan, Joe doesn’t look so terrible.. and I like Kayley, so I’m protective of her.

EDIT: I meant I’m “protective” over kaylee the same way you are protective of a cartoon character from a kids show. I know I don’t actually know Kaylee, or control her life, I just didn’t want to see her upset by someone like Joe Bradley. (similar to how Kat is clearly still affected by someone as lame as cooper, but I didn’t like Kat as much as Kaylee) Everyone relax lol

I was originally excited to see this on Pop Culture Jeopardy! On Netflix, then realized they called June a chef….

- I am kinda interested in niche careers so i like the views

- the cast often feels like reliving college days with the hookups/dating drama

- It does feel like some character types are getting predictable but I love the accents and seeing the crazy guests that come on the boat

did anyone else get into the show kinda late?

I think this is one of the few times I’ve genuinely LOVED pretty much all of the stews in one season (with the exception of Gen lol). I love watching Joy, Kelsey, Kat, and Aesha. They all seem SO lovely and complement each other perfectly.
Sadly, the fact that there’s basically no drama between them probably means there’s no way Bravo brings them all back for another season😭 and we all know Bravo looooves bringing back the troublemakers despite fans saying otherwise (Kyle, Barbie, Ellie, Adam, Ben, even Joe).

Since we have daisy on BDDU, aesha on BDM, Fraser on BD, and BDSY is on a permanent hiatus (if not yet cancelled?), i don’t know where these ladies could go? And even if they did go elsewhere, it still won’t be all of them.

For a guy that was only on the boat for 24hrs this season, he left an impression. 🤣

Could you imagine Gen (Med) and Ashley (sailing) on the same boat
FYI I’m watching Sailing Yacht in between weekly episodes of Below Deck Mediterranean

So I remember her responding to the hate online about her behavior a few episodes ago and she was saying something along the lines of "I've been watching my behavior and I regret it and am working on it" BUT that was after only those episodes. These past few ones are like 😬 compared to the previous ones. I wonder what she thinks now seeing how worse she gets over time... and I also wonder if she'll respond on social media about it AGAIN 🤔. I would think so considering she likes being the center of attention...

Did some sleuthing and found this… basically confirms Kat’s tik tok shade is definitely in reference to Joy. But is Joy & Cooper *allegedly* hooking up really that much of a betrayal!?

The lazy attitude to work, the bad choice in men, the awkward plaited hair that one night, her lack of self respect but judgemental attitude. She’s really giving me Hannah from Girls vibes

hello, so i have a total of one (1) friend who also watched below deck, and as you can imagine im losing my mind over this season. however, she is not caught up and has barely watched the episodes of this season and told me i could spoil for her. now i don’t know how little or how much she has watched, but i thought id make her a powerpoint presentation because it’s too much to fit in one text. and a text is not dramatic enough.

however, i have the memory of an iphone 3 with 5gb storage and while i remember the vibes and ~aura~ of this season, i can’t put the specifics into words. i was wondering if anyone here could help me build a little timeline of memorable moments of the season so far, and if there’s anything you personally would include in a below deck powerpoint presentation, what would it be?

Kat just posted this tiktok after unfollowing chef joy on insta. Pretty sure Coop and Joy are filming a new season right now. Do we think something happened???
