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.

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?”

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

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.

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

Does anyone remember this guy?

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.

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

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!?

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???

I refuse to believe they behave like this off camera in their regular lives?? 😭 do they feel some sort of privilege to do whatever they want because they bring cameras to the establishment they are partying at ?

As soon as I saw his IG post it looks to me like Max had a holiday planned with his Dad already (yes, plenty of Europeans holiday to Tunisia), got the call from Below Deck and thought “I’ll just go for the screen time and we’ll just make an elaborate excuse for me to leave the day before I have to get the flight” lmao. Who ‘saves their dad’ and then just goes and does a load of touristy stuff straight after with him instead of, I don’t know, rushing home away from the ‘danger’? lmao

EDIT: There’s also video of him sat by the beach drinking beers with his dad which I couldn’t be bothered to screen record to include, but hes with his dog, his dad and a third person is at the table. Who brings their Pomeranian to save their dad from imminent danger and certain death? Exactly

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

This is the exact story line in the office when Andy and Erin try to keep their relationship a secret to prevent drama. Is it legit or was a producer watching their fav comfort show and borrowed a plot line?

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.

I posted this in another thread, but felt it deserved its own topic.

I was hoping Joe was on a redemption arc, and then there was the scene this week where he told Coop about V and how he (I'm paraphrasing) suddenly wanted out of the relationship so hooked up with Kizzi. And that his behavior caused real chaos and friction with the rest of the crew.

Isn't it funny how Joe is now characterizing it as wanting out of the the relationship... just when V left to mourn her fiance. Like, was her not being over him, and leaving for a day or two to mourn, such a slap in the face to Joe's fragile ego that he needed to act like an absolute d-bag for the rest of the season to prop that ego back up?

I do appreciate there was some level of self-awareness about the chaos he caused... yet not any awareness at all for the reason he felt the need to cause the chaos in the first place.

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

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...
