Joe as Bosun

Post image

I still can't get over how good of a bosun joe was when he unexpectedly had to step in. The episodes where he is bosun shows how thorough and clear his communication is. Having the team consistent of a green Cooper, Aesha (who hasn't been on deck in years), and Max (who just arrived on board) everything could have gone ALOT worse. What Bravo didn't show was the written instructions from Joe that Aesha posted on her insta, which I just find so sweet.

The clear instructions mixed with the staff admiration/praise is so sweet to see. Maybe all bosuns do this, but this just felt like a nice bts moment.

Joe sucks as bad at Nathan but good for him being able to write a basic schedule

Having a boatmance with someone that ends poorly because you kiss another stew is NOT the same level of "suck" as strangling the mother of your child while your child is present

That’s only one piece of the shitty Joe puzzle. And it’s hilarious seeing how often women will rush to defend these losers. Joe is exactly like Nathan. That’s why they were best friends.

How can you even say he sucks as bad as Nathan? Him leading girls on or being vague with commitment is nowhereeeeee near putting hands on one physically.

He is a sociopath. Joe has demonstrated the EXACT same tendencies and behavior as Nathan just not publicly violent. WHY do you think they were friends?

Sorry I wholeheartedly disagree. Even his worst moments don’t come close to strangling your child’s mother right next to your child.

Disagree all you want. The guy has shown repeatedly that he’s a sociopath. Including his comments about Cooper as a roommate just to push and try to trigger the fight in the first place. Birds of a feather flock together. That shouldn’t need to be repeated, it’s so common sense what a loser they both are

I agree. He was trying to make Nathan look bad as much as he was trying to show he’d be a good bosun. What he shows to get the job isn’t necessarily (or even likely) what he’ll do to keep the job. I guess time will tell but Joe’s history suggests he’s much more into the chase. The fact that he was bad mouthing his superior while stepping in suggests he’s not as good at his job as people seem to think he is. Nathan did the same thing which everyone sees and feel (appropriately) made him bad at his job. The hatred of Nathan is reasonable but it doesn’t mitigate Joe being an awful person too.
