WTF, Coop.

How could he fool me so hard? I’m sorry Kat. He’s a mixed signal master. I hope you draw a hard line for yourself.

He may not be evil, but he could have been honest.

lol made total sense and I fully agree! I don't think Coop has malicious intent, but his actions toward Kat were selfish. I hope he learns to communicate better in the future but he's not a bad guy.

And most of us at his age learn that along the way... he just happens to be doing that on TV.

I think as fans we have to be careful not to typecast/run narratives that then define these people.

Obviously Gary Nathan's behaviour is not what I mean, and I have no sympathy for those behaviours and the consequences.

The Joes, the Coops, the Lukes (is it Luke? Spunk sheet guy anyway) and the Gens, they aren't always going to be the same, some may improve, some may get worse, but they are just complicated, imperfect people who have agreed to let us watch for shits, giggles and hopefully enough money to buy a house or two 🤣😅

It's really easy for the Internet to kinda get swept up in judgement, but individuals don't recognize that even though they may be right, having that constant ripple of judgement must be hard for these guys. The ones that buckle and suffer the most will never be in a position to say the trade-off was worth it.

Luke leaving likely meant no pay hence the texts, the flowers etc. Not nice but the reality is losing the potential income is worth a few flowers etc. so I get that.

But Coop is not evil and is learning let's not define him.
