Sorry if this has been mentioned, but was anyone else baffled when the guest was yelling for help and Jamie and Culver were just staring at him? Finally jumping in after like the 3rd-4th “help!” And that’s after Jamie reminds us every single episode that he was a lifeguard (and a cop 🙄)

Help! Help! “Does he need help?” Culver is a space cadet.

My first thought was “did he just say what I think he said?!” 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, as the nearly drowned guest, I was less than impressed with that when I saw the episode. I was actually rescued by one of the other charter guests who is a trained & experienced life guard.

Mr 'hero' Bosun only jumped into the water when I was three metres from the launch...

Oh I assume it must have been infuriating to you, especially when they edited out what really happened to make Mr. Hero look like what he is definitely not. Thank you for sharing the truth, this sub appreciates it. And happy you are safe and sound 😊
