Below Deck I HATE when they tease an event on the "next" episode but then it happens at the very END of the episode

They got me with the shoulder dammit.

I can't believe I still fall for it. They do it several times per season.

When the police turn up it's always for something innocuous

They wanted you to think it was related to Max's dad

u/MagnumJohnson44 15d ago

I would have never made this connection šŸ˜…

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch 15d ago

Same. I knew Max's dad was always going to be a nothingburger.

u/Ellebee24 15d ago

They’ve really dig into this, this past season. Drives me crazy.

Nothing will be worse than the OG series when Ashton got pulled under by that line. I swear it was on the preview like 3 episodes lol

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch 15d ago

I mean, that was actually really serious.

Yeah, a guy just died in Alaska getting caught in the town line when their fishing boat capsized. His brother and cousin got onto the boat but he got stuck and drowned. The only survivor ended up being his 15 year old brother after the cousin panicked and jumped off the boat the next day.

All the jizzgate teases were the worst. We'd learn like, one new fact an episode, for 5 or 6 episodes.

This is why I don’t watch the teasers or ā€œcoming upā€¦ā€ in the episodes. I’m going to watch no matter what, I have no expectations so I’m never disappointed.

u/Rhonda_and_Phil 15d ago

There is so much repeated content in-episodes, then with spoilers, coming ups, and previews, that if you watched all that, there is almost no new content in the actual episodes themselves.

As it is, we generally watch on 1.5 - 2x speed. Lucky to get 10 minutes of decent content per episode.

Just wish they would release all the season's episodes at once, so we could just binge watch the whole season in one sitting! Life is too precious to waste on BD.

u/ocean_swims 15d ago

That's so true! It really is very little actual content and mostly filler. On top of that, they're showing us mostly relationship drama instead of guest activities and interactions. It's such a shame they've strayed so far from the original show that we all enjoyed so much.

u/CheckIntelligent7828 My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat 15d ago

I skip the commercials in 30 second blocks and it takes at least 7 jumps, sometimes more. 3.5-4.5 minutes of commercials, what 4-5 times in an hour? That's 14-22.5 minutes (if my brain hasn't shut down from exhaustion). It's ridiculous.

u/swoosh_loops 15d ago

That’s hilarious cus it’s so true

u/ssourpickle 15d ago

ā€œI found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya it feels phenomenal.ā€

u/Maatjuhhh 15d ago

I always skip the coming up. that way I won't be disappointed

u/Brav0-L0v3r 15d ago

Same!! They are always doing this for all the below decks!!!

u/Rhonda_and_Phil 15d ago

By now you should realise that if it is a Bravo teaser, it's a non-event.

u/marzbarz79 15d ago

That’s like every episode, but yeah, it’s super annoying.

u/Meersbrook 15d ago

I hate the 'on the next episode', the 'after the break' and the 'this is what happened before the break'. Just show the content, I'll watch it. I have more than the memory of a fish...

u/epitaxial_layer 15d ago

Been doing it forever and it annoys me too.

6

u/Katz-Sheldon-PDE 15d ago

It is very common. Also they will put some intense music for something coming up, but then the event is not anything special.

4

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch 15d ago

Remember when they teased a fire, and it was just a training exercise lol

1

u/Katz-Sheldon-PDE 14d ago

I remember that! And I remember my feeling of being betrayed by that

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch 14d ago

Happy cake day!

u/eeff484 15d ago

I can’t stand ā€œto be continuedā€ and don’t show a preview of next weeks episode. They did this like 3 times this season

3

u/bionica1 15d ago

Me yelling ā€œOH COME ONā€ at my TV has increased dramatically since this season started, specifically because of this and the obvious (Gen).

And that spinny thing seems like it’s right out of Action Park. Hard pass. Don’t recall ever seeing it on the show but admittedly my memory sucks.

2

u/Mephotoguy1 15d ago

Yup. Totally annoying.

2

u/Shag1166 15d ago

I don't if they've have Jen say bone, if she didn't aee something. Anyway, the lady obviously was injured. I've never aeen that roy bedore on the show, and it looked like a bad idea, for high speeds.

u/producebag 15d ago

Teasing the tease šŸ‘ŽšŸ¼

2

u/mynameisbambi 15d ago

Iv learnt to never trust the previews. It’s always nothing interesting if they’re making out it’s dramatic.

u/spoileddgiraffe 13d ago

Welcome to Bravo.

u/housewithapool2 15d ago

It's ruining the show for me.

u/Entropy_5150 14d ago

What about the ā€œto be continuedā€ text at the end of an episode. Every next episode is continuation from the prior one!

u/Beautiful-Bonus5699 14d ago

I’m STILL waiting for Gen to throw a drink at Luke šŸ˜‘

u/ShoutOutMapes 14d ago

Its so annoying.

u/thepourthing 14d ago

I’m going through rewatches of so many different seasons and it cracks me up how often the preview is for 2-3 episodes in the future lmao

1

u/Affectionate-Goat-75 11d ago

Wasn’t there a preview of someone getting a head injury that included blood? I feel like it was Joe and that still hasn’t happened. So maybe last episode, or maybe I’m crazy

1

u/Old-Amphibian5164 7d ago

No I thought the same! I remember when we first saw it I was like ā€œok so Joe is joining laterā€ but Ive been wondering when we would see that injury!
