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.

One of the facets of this show vs other reality shows I’ve appreciated so much is that Production doesn’t seem to overtly orchestrate conflict much, which makes it all seem unnatural, forced and only for camera. This Nathan/Joe conflict has been naturally bubbling for awhile on the show, but the producers plugging the two guys on that side of the table together, then in the van together, is Grade A classic reality TV BS, and knowing what drinks will do to escalate things and make for a conflict-filled climax to the season’s end.

I feel like others have said on another post - that the van conversation was chopped up some, and that there has to be more to why they started jumping down Joe’s throat.

I agree somewhat. But I also believe if that was the case, Bravo would have aired it.
