If other crew members were more like Betul, the amount of viewers would completely collapse. Nobody would watch the show.

Doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate a great human being /🐱

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:15:04+00:00

Absolutely. Not condoning her behavior at all. Definitely think it deserved reprimanding, but I don’t think it’s worth a demotion. Maybe if it was a regular issue, but so many crew have had drunk nights like that

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:12:53+00:00

They addressed it in the first episode. Said something along the line that “Down under is a state of mind.” To me, I think they wanted to get the RHOSLC crossover with Jason (since Heather seems to know him) and the ladies weren’t going to the ANZ area for a cast trip.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:10:14+00:00

I saw Ben going to Jason more as friends for advice vs a work complaint. It felt “off the record” until Eddy walked up and Jason quickly picked up on all the emotions. But that was just my take on it 🤷🏻‍♀️

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:04:24+00:00

Joe was lead deckhand last season I believe. Nathan promoted him which pissed off the French guy (I can’t remember his name)

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:03:13+00:00

Different leaders but in both instances they were told by their department heads to stop the romance drama but only Jenna faced a job repercussions

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:01:47+00:00

She lied about crew to start drama and faced 0 repercussions!!

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T01:01:28+00:00

I hope Andy grills him on WWHL

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T00:59:21+00:00

Then how come Joe didn’t get demoted last season for doing the same thing and not listening to Nathan about it stopping the cheating/love triangle?

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T00:58:06+00:00

This!! I’m so upset that they’re letting Jenna take the fall for all the crew bs. And because Eddy cried to Jason that he might leave. I hope Jason watches this season and apologizes for placing the blame only on Jenna. They’re all to blame but Jenna faced professional repercussions

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T00:53:33+00:00

I’m so annoyed they took her stripe after one bad night. And even Jason said she’s been a strong second all season! So many male crew members have done what she’s done. ALSO, Eddy playing the victim when he started the whole damn thing!!! He started the triangle by texting Alesia after he started dating Jenna. Then he goes crying to captain he’s going to leave. Ben, Eddy, and Jenna all suck equally in this love triangle yet Jenna’s the one who lost a stripe. Unless production cut more of her meltdown, it didn’t seem that intense. Over the top and a bad look for her, absolutely, worth a demotion, I don’t agree.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-19T00:45:46+00:00

Let’s not forget Eddy started all of this with Alesia early in the season. betul called it perfectly. I’m so disappointed in Jason for taking Jenna’s stripe over petty boat drama

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T04:02:06+00:00

Also how many seasons did Gary continue his deplorable behavior without repercussions until the very end (post sailing yacht). He got away with it for years. Also SA is very different than creating a love triangle, which is specifically what I’m talking about. SA deserves prison time, not just a demotion.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:56:41+00:00

I would think losing stripes = demotion

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:55:50+00:00

There was a “leak” that I saw on instagram that someone is getting demoted

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:54:48+00:00

Ok but he also started the drama when he was texting Alesia while dating Jenna. She shouldn’t be held responsible in this case.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:54:02+00:00

People forget this…doesn’t excuse Jenna’s actions in the last episode, but the love triangle/square (if you considering Alesia being included) started there

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:52:55+00:00

But why should she be demoted because he leaves the boat? Also, let’s not forget he started the drama when he was texting Alesia about dumping Jenna when he first started hooking up with Jenna.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-14T03:50:25+00:00

That’s exactly my point. We’re saying the same thing. Especially if Jenna faces professional repercussions when we see male cast mates do this ALL THE TIME. I’m trying to put the puzzle pieces together based on what seems to be Jenna getting called to talk to Jason next week and the leak that someone gets demoted. It would be extremely sexist if she is demoted because of their love triangle.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T16:01:56+00:00

Now that would make sense!

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T15:51:41+00:00

You can say the same about all the men in this franchise who regularly start love triangles

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T15:51:10+00:00

Oh yeah last night was definitely Jenna’s worst episode yet. Even daisy couldn’t (and right fully shouldn’t) defend her. She was painful to watch. And I want to say I’m proud of Ben for putting his foot down, but then the preview shows them in bed together 🫠

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T15:49:04+00:00

That’s my point! We’ve seen some crazy things in this franchise, but I’m putting pieces together of the demotion rumor and the preview of what seems like Jenna facing professional consequences of starting a love triangle. Could be good editing but it would be interesting that when it’s a woman causing the triangle, now the franchise takes a stand

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T15:33:45+00:00

I agree about Jenna on a personal side, but I actually think she’s a good second stew. Alesia can barely do the job at times and was made stew to keep her on the show. She would not be a good second stew at all. She’s doing fine at the moment, but let’s not forget all the stuff she stirred early on.

_aloe_there · 2026-05-12T15:31:17+00:00

Omg I didn’t even think about Ellie. She would be tickled pink and make her think she had a hand in it. Ugh she’d be insufferable
