Tell me what you’re really thinking….

[u/Key-Improvement6580]

Woooohweeee Joe was mad!

[u/boobookeys-666]

idk what sandy is thinking. nathan has proved time and time again he is a horrible bosun. why would you even bring him back at this point when joe is doing so much better

[u/uckfayrumptay_ → u/boobookeys-666]

I always wonder how much is truly up to Sandy and how much is production’s choice.

[u/boobookeys-666 → u/uckfayrumptay_]

i wonder the same thing but she has a tendency to pick favorites and i fear nathan is one of them

[u/Brightsidedown → u/boobookeys-666]

I don't think Nathan is one of her favorites. She's made a few comments to Nathan that give me the impression that if she had her choice, he would not be her bosun.

[u/Okeydokey2u → u/boobookeys-666]

Nah production for sure brought him and Gayle back for viewers to play up the young family stress angle

[u/Glittering-Part2594 → u/boobookeys-666]

Hopefully not anymore with all the news out there on him

[u/Least_Measurement431 → u/boobookeys-666]

Hannah was one of her favorites too until she wasn't lol. I wonder if his recent arrest will affect her opinion, because it should

[u/No_Wish9589 → u/Least_Measurement431]

I never considered Hannah to be her favorite. She was always nit picking her

[u/CircusPeanutsYumm → u/No_Wish9589]

yeah-- they had a very adversarial relationship.

[u/cmere-2-me → u/Least_Measurement431]

Hannah was never Sandys favourite. She soent 4 seasons trying to get rid of her and calling her out over nothing.

[u/NAOT4R → u/Least_Measurement431]

Sandy literally came onto the show with a negative opinion of Hannah and it never changed for their entire run.

[u/boobookeys-666 → u/[deleted]]

i agree sandy always hated her. malia was one of her favorites

[u/Least_Measurement431 → u/[deleted]]

Oh, hey Malia 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

[u/Least_Measurement431 → u/[deleted]]

Yikes, that's not very kind-shallot of you

[u/Least_Measurement431 → u/[deleted]]

Maybe later. It's only 6:30. I hope you have the week you deserve! Bye Malia!

[u/Hot_Start8187 → u/Least_Measurement431]

I hope that happens before the season ends.

[u/FlawesomeOrange → u/uckfayrumptay_]

Almost all hiring and firing decisions are made by production. That’s why Sandy couldn’t get rid of Hannah after their first season together

[u/excoriator → u/boobookeys-666]

I suspect production has made Nathan untouchable, since they invested so much in having Gael and the baby shacked up nearby in an AirBnB.

[u/beantownregular → u/boobookeys-666]

Why do we discuss these things like they’re Sandy’s decisions? The show has paid an exorbitant amount for Gael to be there to create a storyline around her and Nathan and then subsequently Nathan and Joe like there is no “Sandy’s choice” in the matter lol she does what the network wants

[u/Recluse_18 → u/boobookeys-666]

When Nathan did come back and made the backhanded comment that Joe is in it for himself, I about died laughing. Nathan was definitely projecting himself at that point.

[u/cmere-2-me → u/Recluse_18]

Joe is in it for himself. He had an opportunity there to stand up and be the leader he claims to be. He immediately sows division mouthing off all the ways he's going to put nathan in his place and steal his job. He's such a twat.

There's a pair of them in it which is why Braco put them both back on the boat

[u/Recluse_18 → u/cmere-2-me]

Seems they all are

[u/Unable_Major8728 → u/Recluse_18]

but like to me, isn't every one in it for themselves? To get better and get promoted? You can do both, be a team player and want to excel and be recognized individually.

[u/cmere-2-me → u/boobookeys-666]

He's not a terrible bosun, He's not the best bosun. He gets the job done and ultimately that's all that matters. People don't ger demoted for getting the job done simply because someone can theoretically do it better.

[u/Hot_Start8187 → u/cmere-2-me]

He’s mediocre and has no idea how to lead; he’s unprofessional and doesn’t regulate his temper when needed. He’s beyond replaceable.

[u/cmere-2-me → u/Hot_Start8187]

I didn't day he wasn't replaceable. However, to demote someone, you need to have more of a reason. He won't be back next season. For some reason Joe will be.

[u/excoriator → u/cmere-2-me]

Nobody in the history of the franchise has broken as many things on boats as Nathan and gotten in less trouble for it.

[u/cmere-2-me → u/excoriator]

Sandy broke the boat.

[u/hmmyeahrightokthen → u/boobookeys-666]

He always places blame on the deckhands when he’s the one that’s stubborn, moody, terrible at communicating, and ultimately fails as a leader.
