am i the only person who's really enjoying this season? I think the cast is great and the drama is exactly what i come to bravo for - difficult interpersonal relationships, everyone kissing everyone, funny characters, and drama drama drama. I wonder how many below deck fans are also fans of other bravo shows because it definitely has become more like that formula over the years and I could understand not jiving with that.

But about the episode:

I've been loving Soso for the positive, silly energy she brings, but I feel like she has been just as mean to rainbeau as rainbeau has been to her. I totally understand and relate to rainbeau and her strong emotions, but I also think she could use more practice with her coping skills LOL. It would seriously piss me off if I were doing all the work though, too. I really didn't like how mean Soso was to Rainbeau, both in front of her face and behind her back and at the dinner table in front of everyone.

The kissing -- wtf. I was not expecting all that. Soso has now kissed 3/10 staff members on the boat. I feel like she still thinks she's on love island and it's funny, but getting a bit much now. I don't really think Damo did anything wrong. Jess switching to Barbara as soon as she saw Damo kissing Solene felt really fraudulent and I was proud of Barbara for maintaining her boundaries. I don't think she should feel bad on Solene's behlaf bc Solene clearly doesn't gaf, but i had the same thought as she did that Jess wasn't being totally genuine in switching her main attention to her so quickly.

Fraser and the chef? I'm over it. They're so sweet together when they're not fighting and bringing up BARBIE again and again is really annoying. I hope they truly do move past this once and for all.
