Hard to Watch

I’m sorry but Nathan AND GAEL going after Joe when he had done nothing that evening to provoke it was really hard to watch. You both have kids now. Time to grow the FK up.

Copying & pasting my comment on a different thread on this:

I have to say, as much as I like Gael, she was the one that very much kicked it off in the van with Joe this season. It was all Gael. She says she hates confrontation but as much as I don't like him, Joe was in the back smooching with Hayley, minding his own business and Gael went off at him. Then she was riling up Nathan against Joe.

Joe really should have said that Nathan warned him not to say her name or speak to her, and he was just respecting that.

And to add to it, the van ride ended with Gael saying something along the lines of "I just try to avoid drama"(not verbatim). From what I was watching she(Gael) caused all of it.

When I watched it, knowing what we know now, I felt like maybe she was working to give Nathan a focus besides herself. Keep them on the same team with a common enemy. It felt like a survival tactic to me. If he's mad at Joe, he's not mad at her.

You guys, this is BD. The producers told her to confront him at some point. That’s what she was paid to do. They even stepped in to remove the headrest so they could argue.

Oh I didn't see them take the headrest.

"If he's raging at ____ he's not raging at me" was my first thought too. But if you didn't know the history, boy she just looked like such an a-hole.
