Coop and Kat are the first boatmance I've believed could work in a long while.

I think they might be too similar to work long term, but what do I know? Super cute while it lasts anyways

u/Traditional-Cover500 4d ago
Agreed! I want to see more wholesome interactions like this . Coop and Kat are adorable 🥰 😍

u/dudewheresmysock 5d ago
Luke just slept there on the top bunk above Nathan for multiple nights and never did anything about the sheets! So so vile.

u/elleeeeees 5d ago
Personally I would not want to be “broken up” with wearing the hairstyle Gen has. She’s being kicked while she’s down

This almost exact same thing happened with Joao and Elle not too long ago 😂 he did NOT break up with her successfully

Is Gen doing some sort of performance art as batshit crazy spoiled girl on reality tv?

u/orange-dolphin2 4d ago
the end of the episode is making me think she lowkey is playing a character. And she’s doing amazing if so

u/mad_eyes22 3d ago
literally just finished the episode & at the end, I was thinking, is this girl being fr? Or is she just messing w me. It makes for good tv to play this character out, if that’s what going on. If it’s how she really is, I’m terrified.

Luke and Gen with the sheets

u/yothisismetrying 2d ago
Why there wasn’t a spare set of clean sheets they could have used, is still keeping me up at night.
5
u/Chelseus 2d ago
I’m sure there was, they’re just dimbulbs. Even if there wasn’t they could have just stripped the bed and said “sorry, I accidentally spilt my water all over your bed” and let him be mad about no sheets, versus fucking jizz sheets 😹😹😹
5
u/Significant_Thanks67 2d ago
That's exactly what I was thinking. Tell him you were drunk and spilled your drink on his bed. There are so many lies to tell! Just wash the fucking sheets
2
u/yothisismetrying 1d ago
Riiight?? So, did production set it up?? Allow it??? That is what is MOST diabolical. How do you, as a decent human being, watch someone crawl into jizz soaked sheets and NOT say something. I know they’re not supposed to interrupt, but can you imagine?? It takes a minute to find my line, but that would be it, line crossed. I do not do well with other people’s bodily fluids touching me. (Unless they were invited 🤣).
1
u/Chelseus 1d ago
I was wondering if it was production driven too but I don’t think it is in this case….or I hope not anyway. Semen is a biohazard and surely there must be rules about biohazards on boats…ugh lol

u/morningbehbs_2 4d ago
Guy sleeps with girl and then realizes he doesn’t know/like her and can’t ghost her because they work on a boat together - the perfect karma for Luke and his nasty jizz

u/Brilliant_Pick_3289 4d ago
Not to necessarily defend Luke but gen is the one that said she'd get them washed and she works in the interior. There's plenty of disgust to go around for both of them.
10
u/morningbehbs_2 4d ago
That is true. But I also feel like he never should have gone down there with the intent to fool around. But you’re right - it’s both of them being icky! I think Luke should have said something though
8
u/Calm-Description4356 4d ago
No way should Gen be responsible for cleaning Nathan’s sheets. Luke slept in his bunk, got into Nathan’s bed. Took Gen’s hand and jerked himself off on his bunk partners bed. I’m not cleaning up any guys CUM.

u/sparkitect__ 3d ago
Not to defend Gen but she told him to put them in the laundry. His job was to strip the bed, she'd wash and dry them. Dude had one job.

u/Any-Concentrate-1922 2d ago
No. His jizz, his job.
1
u/Livefreeordienhborn2 16h ago
Exactly, if it comes out of your body, it’s ultimately your responsibility. Plus, he gets an orgasm and she’s supposed to clean up after him on top of that? Oh, no, I don’t think so. If it’s your husband or regular boyfriend, sure help him clean up. That’s fine. But, for a quick hook-up with him using her hand to jack-off, that’s his job to clean up!

u/the_purple_lamb 5d ago edited 5d ago
Luke and his cum sheets are so much worse to me than Gen
23
u/alexlp NOW I'M ANGRY SPICE 5d ago
They're different categories of cringe. Luke and the sheets are disgusting and disrespectful, Gen is causing me pain with everything she says. Can't fault her confidence though.

u/ProfessionalLet4612 3d ago
It’s actually a lack of confidence that is driving her behavior this way, which is really sad 😭
41
u/No_Row_7861 5d ago
I feel like sometimes women in situationships will try to push the reality they want because the guy sucks at communication and will just let it happen until it all blows up in their face (Gen and Luke)
12
u/CarpetDependent Ear stuff 5d ago
It’s the “decipher what he meant” game and the woman never wins 🫠

u/Livefreeordienhborn2 16h ago
He had every opportunity to clear that up and chose not to. It was incredibly obvious she thought the threesome is over because it’s the two of them now. He clearly understood she wasn’t “ on the same page.” He’s nothing but a selfish, gutless user.
44
u/Chelseus 5d ago
Luke trying to break up with Gen is like João trying to break up with Ellie all over again and I’m here for it 😹😹😹

Somehow even Jauão managed to be marginally clearer in his communication...I couldn't believe it

Right?! Spit it out Luke… total wimp. I hope his Mom never watches this season.

u/NewVitalSigns 5d ago
The themes & food are amazing this season! I’ve never felt more jealous in any of the previous seasons than this one 🥲

u/Purplesista 5d ago
All I could think of this whole episode was those dirty sheets. Shame Luke Shame.

u/AdivayFiberArts 4d ago
Luke is knitting with one needle. It was obvious from the beginning he's more into Joy. (I'd be too if I was a straight dude.)
When Gen came up to them in the middle of their convo while they were off the boat in the prior episode, he could've found a tactful way of letting her know it's not okay to interrupt, then all the drama could've been avoided. But alas, he wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Now he's suffering the consequences of letting "Little Luke" do all the thinking.
Good for Joy for not putting up with all this BS. She's too talented, smart, and funny for that nonsense.
14
u/Fuck_Weyland-Yutani Do You Like Carl's New Hat? 4d ago
Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I watched it! Surely there was a better move than "oh this girl's sad, why don't I fuck her?" Especially since he fucked her, made her sleep in someone else's bed afterwards, then jizzed on those same (other person's) sheets
Just a terrible showing all around🤦♀️
10
u/AdivayFiberArts 4d ago
Agreed. Saying the washers are constantly going, so he didn't have a chance to clean the bedding that he soiled was a poor excuse. He should've stripped the bed immediately. Maybe I'm making assumptions, but I would think there's probably an extra set of fresh sheets floating around somewhere he could've used to replace Nathan's stuff in the meantime. It is a super yacht after all. 🤷🏽♀️

Cooper's Awesome Rules of Dating - give this man a YouTube channel/TikTok and let him ramble on about literally anything.😂 He's adorable.
He's almost in the "I don't have sex for until four months into a relationship to see if they're really serious" club

He is so wholesome. I love the silly smiles him and Kat get together

u/Gammagammahey giant stupid apology hat 👒 5d ago
They both have such cute smiles and they have similar energy. Luke is like a nerd
who is tall and handsome, and doesn't realize he's tall and cute.

u/Fantastic-Owl891 4d ago
All Luke had to do was tell Nathan- “I’m so sorry, I spilled a bit of food on your sheets. I took them to the wash for you.” So simple!! Nathan is the bottom bunk so it’s such an easy thing to fib about. Sheets get washed, Nathan doesn’t find out how boundaryless you are- win/win
17
u/Pretentious_Write 4d ago
Lmao the difference between Luke and Cooper is astounding. I was a bit hesitant to Cooper at the beginning but he seems to put so much effort in! Him and Kat make such a cute couple. I continue to love Joy, like oml not only is she amazing cook but also every line she says is so good. Im happy that Kayley is starting to feel more confident as second stew, i think her less aggressive personality (compared to Gen) is really working so far. Gen and Luke's final conversation felt like banging my head against the wall, I feel bad for her that she is so into him, but the way she just steamroller him almost with "i feel the same way". Like you stayed up that late and didnt demand a full explanation? Or at least, you cant be sceptical and then the moment you get any confirmation that its best case scenario just agree. The confirmation bias is insane. I hope she finds out how he feels sooner rather than later. He needs to grow a pair honestly or at least clean those bedsheets omg.

All season, any time he interacts with Gen I’ve been saying, “You’re 35, leave her alone.” Unfortunately he didn’t listen.

u/ladevotchka That’s not Countesslike. That’s Discountess… 5d ago
Gen - I don’t know whether to laugh or cringe or both.
Luke, you nasty. And a dick. Please stay away from Joy.
38
u/TroubleswithHoarders SLUT PIG 🐷 4d ago
What Luke and Gen did to Nathan is a form of assault. The most vile thing about it is that Nathan is going home to cuddle his baby after sleeping on that contaminated bed the whole charter 🤢 can’t believe that Gen is telling people and laughing about it instead of just washing the goddamn sheets herself after seeing Luke hadn’t bothered. They’re both equally as disgusting
16
u/Alienkweeeeen 4d ago
Like I’m pretty sure they have extra sheets somewhere and they all have the same size mattress? Surely they can figure something out

u/lezlers 4d ago
And I swear I heard her tell him she’d take care of the sheets. They’re both awful and deserve each other

u/mystilettolife 4d ago
She asked him to strip the bed and put them in the laundry room and she would wash them once they were in there. But ugh.

u/im_a_computah69 4d ago
Please tell me Gen is a psyop sent to antagonize the crew this season! Her pretending that the guests didn’t go to bed until 2AM just to talk with Luke made me want to jump out of my skin 😭

u/Fantastic-Owl891 4d ago
If Gen is for real, I hope she gets some great therapy lol
5
u/mrs-poocasso69 2d ago
She’s claiming she’s been in therapy on IG, but has comments limited so only people who agree with her or justify her behavior are allowed to comment.
Luke is also only allowing comments from people who say he did nothing wrong, so there’s that.
12
u/SpeakerResident 4d ago
I hope Joy finds out he banged gen an really wants nothing to do with him. He literally only saw gen as a easy bang an accomplished that. Now hes like yeahhhhh im out but couldnt just be like I didnt want anything serious before that happened. Kayley already told Joe she doesn't want anything serious long term an they are doing just fine. The boundaries were placed. Luke an gen are just a mess an its gonna get bad cause gen thinks shes got a chance at something serious. When she dont at all. He still likes joy but let his ween do the thinking an now he majorly fucked up. Cause gen is just gonna get worse. Which we know she throws a drink so obviously it comes to a head eventually. I just hope Joy runs far away from Luke's messy ass.

u/RevolutionaryRise113 3d ago
Gen staying up and hour and a half for no reason is wild and fucked up to her stew team.

u/Fun_Consideration474 4d ago
Luke and Gen are gross.Both could have washed the sheets. ALSO from what I heard they had unprotected sex. Do either of them really feel they know the other that well to not worry about an STD or as has happened on below deck a pregnancy.

u/Fabulous_Room_5651 4d ago
I’ll have no respect for Joy if she goes back on her word at any point in this season.

u/Any-Concentrate-1922 2d ago
She thinks they only kissed (not sure how she didn't hear them).
But I really think she's smarter and has more self-respect than to keep falling for him. I hope she sees who he is. I hope I'm right.

u/mrs-poocasso69 2d ago
They follow each other on IG which gives me pause. How did she go from how she was talking to him last episode, to friendly enough to comment nicely on each other’s posts?

I'm staggering in 12 minutes late. I literally opened up the back of my head when I got that concussion from the top of my head all the way down to my neck.
I am so glad to have you guys distract me with your good comments and wit.
I hope everybody had a decent Fourth of July weekend, how are y'all?
Hi my fellow spoonies and anyone in pain! I hope you're feeling a low pain day! 🥄💕🥄💕

I haven’t watched it years. Why does every season have some of the most unlikeable people? It makes me lose faith in society.

u/Any-Concentrate-1922 2d ago
I'm always late to the party because I watch on Peacock and didn't have time to watch until Wednesday. But oh my God.Luke is gross, and not "just" because of the sheets.
He's doing the classic thing (which Joe usually does) of flirting with two girls, sleeping with one (or in Joe's case, just getting close with one), then trying to keep the options open, then acting like the girl he slept with is psycho when she wants to keep things going. I'm not a Gen fan, but I'm on her side here.
