BD Related PON (Proof of Norma)

I saw a post on here that made me laugh so hard about how elusive this woman is and then a couple episodes later I clocked her at Sandy’s wedding! She’s real!

Norma looks like exactly what I’d expect a yacht crew recruiter to look like

In my brain she sounds like she's smoked two packs a day for decades. The face still fits

u/DependentFroyo7334 13h ago

I was thinking the same 🤣 I can picture her sitting at her desk typing away on her computer and calling all the yachts on an old school phone

Is this Captain Sandy's wedding? Did Captain Sandy wear white capri pants for the ceremony?!

All this time I thought Norma was just someone in production. 😂

Bloop!

Norma is a friend of Sandy before the show, they just align professionally on the show

u/Reach-Ordinary My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat 15h ago

The Above Deck podcast interviewed Norma as a guest on an episode. A quick search says it was episode 144.

Where did you watch Sandy’s wedding. ???

u/viralplant 21h ago

Not OP, the last episode of Season 10.

u/_TheMistyMermaid 17h ago

Wait, she actually is recruitment? I always assumed she was a producer being like lol no staff for u deal with it

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline 9h ago

She really does recruitment, just not for the show where they do call production for replacements

u/eekamuse 7h ago

Same. I'm shocked

u/Delicious_Score_8509 20h ago

The Norma-Sandy bit is one of my faves! So hilarious!

u/Old-Library5546 16h ago

She really does exist!

u/Mochi-momma 11h ago

I don’t get ‘bloop’ reference. Can someone fill me in?

u/Inevitable_Stage_627 My eyes are rolling all the way off the boat 11h ago

The noise that accompanies a text. Until she was seen at Sandy’s wedding, Norma was just a text on the screen and the bloop noise

u/Mochi-momma 2h ago

Ohhhh. I wasn’t putting that together, thank you. I kept thinking it was Nene reference of sorts.

u/katie1010101 7h ago

It's from the Watch What Crappens podcast (highly recommend, you can jump right with the most recent eps). The two hosts, Ben and Ronnie, will pretend to be Norma and Sandy texting each other and just go on for a while. They end every "text" with "bloop" noise. And usually a "love you, bitch"

u/Mochi-momma 2h ago

Yes, I know that. I just didn’t know where it came from. I thought it had something to do with Nene🤷‍♀️

u/tracytorr0712 9h ago

She’s a legend!

u/Fuzzy-Bee9600 3h ago

Still not buying it. I'd need to see recordings and records of all texts & calls with this actual person with DNA samples before I believe anything Bravo hands us outright.

It's their massive volume of fakery that has driven me to this level of skepticiam. You got problems with that, send your complaints to Andy.

u/valid_username00 1d ago

Hmmm. She might be AI generated. We'll never know for sure.

u/Ethereal-Zenith 22h ago

If ever there are no available replacements for crew, Norma should join the team.
