I would defend your honor...If any man would raise a hand or speak out of line to my sister...then they are going to answer to me...

@Us Us Maybe, but Joao is acting much differently this season compared to last (except for some rude comments to Aesha). However, you're allowed to evaluate yourself, change, grow, and mature as a person. This is by no means definitive, but judging by his behavior/actions this season it appears Joao has made an effort to change for the better. This is coming from a Joao hater last season. Lastly, you mention Joao pretends to be Mr. sensitive in between acting out aggressively. You can be sensitive and aggressive. Many people are. These are not mutually exclusive qualities. I'm not excusing his behavior from last season or his poor moments from this season, just clarifying something that you potentially overlooked. That is all :)

@Us Us You very well could be right.

Absolutely right!

If you've noticed, João's few rude comments that he's made this season come only when he is drinking too much. I absolutely hated him last season, too, but he has really redeemed himself. He was kind of like the Travis of last season, binge-drinking and acting like a prick. But seeing himself like that on TV - combined with having his heart broken by Brooke - have really caused him to take a good look at his life and make some changes, and I respect that. The morning after his last judgmental comment about Aesha's dancing, he reflected on it (to Colin, I think) and said, "Why do I do that? That's me done for drinking." Because he realizes he's going to lose the crew's respect if he does that. And I don't think we've seen him make another comment like that since that night, because he hasn't gotten overly drunk and let 'Jezabub' out. I think that's part of the reason Travis' drunken behaviour bothers him so much - because it reminds him a bit of himself when he gets smashed. That, and he can't stomach violence against women, for obvious reasons. I really respect João for the changes he's made in his life since last year. Most of the time, he's kind and respectful to everyone on the ship - as long as he feels like everyone else is pulling their weight. A few of them call him 'The Morality Police', but for the most part, I agree with him. I never, ever thought I'd actually find myself liking and respecting João this season, but I do. Travis could change a few things about himself too, if he really wanted to, but he's too busy denying he has a problem. Until he recognizes that he does, that's not going to change. I really thought slapping Anastasia might be a wake-up call, but no, not only is he whitewashing that as "normal behavior," he feels like she's turned on HIM for calling him out on his drinking. It's a shame, because he'll ultimately find himself friendless if he keeps this up. Well, except for fellow partier/slackers like Jack...

Omg yes

I'm glad Joao was there. And Travis should be glad it wasnt me he slapped. He would have wore my chair over his head. Disrespectful as hell.

I agree. Joao acted the way I would have expected someone to react after seeing a woman being slapped by a man. No one should put their hands on another human being whether male or female.

Ruth O'Hara I’m completely feel the same he acted in a way any decent person would. Jack and aesha are troubled minded so they see things differently

You fools are acting like this was a real hit. When a man hits a woman for real, they aren't waking up from it, it will knock them out cold.

@Josh Alfirenko absolutely. I personally know many people who are outstanding citizens when they are sober and wonderful warm-hearted... But they second they get drunk the demons come. The important thing is to tackle the issue and try to abstain from getting to that level of drunkenness if you can help it. And if you can't, seek help.

If it really hurt her then she would press legal charges for assault. Exaggerating horse-play into violent abuse is probably offensive to those who have actually been abused for real. The same type of delusional b.s. from women claiming being cat-called on the street is equal to being raped.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn I would never have an issue with a friend doing that to me, but my friends and I know that about each other, you can't just assume everyone else is ok with getting slapped in the face. Is it abuse? No, but just because an action isn't bad enough to be considered abuse doesn't make it ok.

termitater squared Agreed! I hate when they use their “culture”. Just like when the Jersey Housewives misbehave and day “We’re Italian!” So what! I’m Italian and I don’t scream at people in a restaurant, flip tables, throw cake or break glasses.

hurt her? while its a douchey move, it did not hurt her....

Stop yourself.

You really disrespect the power of a man by thinking that love tap was anything close to a man's full strength. It didn't hurt at all, a human's pain tolerance is much higher.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn You are too funny. Completely missing the point.

@@a.m.3921 The point is it was harmless horseplay not a real slap, if no pain was involved, so shut the hell up with your delusional b.s. fool.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn If Travis had actually hurt Anastasia, no doubt he would've been fired immediately. The point is, his action was inappropriate, period.

I don’t think she knew about it at the time.

@@travler786 Exactly. If no one told her about it, she wouldn't have known until she watched it.

Yep, she didn't know. Anastasia decided not to go to her about it, but to try to talk to Travis about his drinking instead (which ultimately did no good). I don't think Sandy knew about it until much later, maybe even when the program aired (unless we see otherwise on future episodes). You can see she's still pretty speechless about it here. And speechless is not normally Captain Sandy's M.O...

Yeah, captain Sandy should have forbid him to go out, because he was ALWAYS getting to drunk or even have fired him

Hannah was a pos who got fired for drugs use and the bad vibe she brought with every single crew member.

They always make excuses for each others leud and reckless behavior! Her voice is so annoying and some of her behavior is sooooo off, but she seems to be loyal, sweet and has a kind heart that's overshadowed by her prison behavior!

David Manion agree with you!

They are a match made in dirtbag heaven

DEAN S I legit lol at prison behavior!

Anastasia is just a drama queen looking to play the victim, overreacting to a playful slap that didn't really hurt at all, just because Anastasia craves attention. Aesha is a cool modern age girl that has fun being treated as one of the guys, while Anastasia is still operating under the old female mindset of wanting to be put on a pedestal like a frail little baby that needs to be tiptoed around.

If he really slapped her in a violent way that actually caused any pain, he would have been fired with legal charges filed. Even Aesha saw that Anastasia is overreacting playing the victim because she craves attention.

Jon Doe wow you’re really under every comment I’m literally dying at how pathetic you are 😂😂😂

@@thaliap3125 And still not one relevant rebuttal from any of you brainless broads

@@JonDoe-dz9tn it doesn't matter if it was strong or not, she never allowed him to invade her space and touch her, she was sleeping; maybe someone else can be chill about it but if you don't have the consent you never know hoe the other person can react, she said how she was in an aggressive relationship with someone before, that could have been triggering to that time, let's be mindful of people's spaces. It was wrong, no excuses are valid.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn stay far away from women! *women beware, this guy could possibly be a murderer! He hates women *

pete t well said

In this episode, he has issues that is why he turned to drinking because it's easier to forget things than working on the problem. He might considered seeing a therapist.

pete t That IS NOT true. He is making that up to explain himself. I worked VERY hard served in the military tours in Iraq and I never slapped anyone ever before.

Jack isn't helping by whitewashing his behaviour as 'social drinking,' either. I think even Jack knows that's BS, but he's afraid to say anything to Travis's face because he knows Travis will take that as Jack 'turning on him,' too. I have been in Travis' position, and I lost a lot of friends simply because they called me out on my alcoholism - and those were the ones who cared to stick around. It's hard to watch him come up with so many rationalizations as to why everyone else is wrong about his drinking and his poor behaviour. It's going to take a LOT for this guy to wake up and smell the coffee.

pete t . Notice he always is in denial about his drinkng, actions, and unless he acknowledges he has a problem he will not change.

Nailed it.

And don’t forget he popped Aesha in the face earlier that night with the seat in the van. He wasn’t sorry for that either. What a pig!

👏👏👏exactly!! He is one that says I am a good guy but so many issues that others pay for it

Actually the narcissist is the attention seeking Anastasia lying about a love tap causing real pain, when it wasn't even strong enough to squash a bug.

Travis actually using the phrase that he doesn't have a problem with alcohol. 😂 😂 😂

Alley yes!!! 👏👏👏👏

Alley and peep Captain Sandy looking at Hannah with a lot of respect while saying that! Yes Hannah!

Alley Very well said Ms. Hannah! 🙏🏼🎉

The only person who seemed to understand the situation?? 👏🏻

Lol

Honestly you never hit the face even if horseplay. If he flicked her ear or gave her a wet willie I wouldn’t care.

I just KNEW he would be fired ASAP. But, no, everyone covered for him.....again. Please fire him! It’s never ok to hit a woman. Period.

I'm afraid my immediate reaction would be throat punch..not clever or funny.. A man slapping a female is not excusable period..

@@kayhathaway6956 shut up It ain't OK to hit anyone you whiteknight

I agree with u 💯 percent. As well as Aesha she when her boo made a joke about her face looked as if she was getting rapped it triggered her and she got ticked off at that moment until she cooled down. So she cannot be judging, if she was in her shoes when she already behaved a way that she got triggered.

Star G I thought the same thing, they lack empathy.... and realizing that maybe to them it didn’t seem that big of a deal but to a victim of domestic volience it takes them back to a dark place

get a life and shut up

Robin H agreed.

I agree but Aesha wasn’t wrong that he was waiting for a moment to be mr righteous.

Jenny Mosley-Wu I agree! I couldn’t believe Ashia would ever justify that kind of behavior. She’s too worried about being the life of the party and stranded up for her “friend” than standing up for what is right.

I agree I hated the way Aesha sat there and did nothing.

Oh how sad for you a woman is exposing your gender's exaggerated lies, that you create for no reason than enjoying the attention received by playing a victim.

M

If Joao was "waiting" it's because the entire restaurant could see Travis was smashed and didn't know what he was going to do next and as Collin says Travis behavior was getting worse each time they went out. Joao being the Bosun even during off hours meant he was in charge of handling the situation.

@Nates Grandma I agree completely. Travis needs help. He has a drinking problem. And I’m more than a little tired of seeing Aesha & Jack groping each other. I have no problem with them being a couple but it was rather gross watching them “tongue swirling” & playing tonsil hockey in the kitchen while Anastasia was cooking. Get a room guys.

Denying you have a problem is definitely proof you do if you black out and someone has to remind you of the night before

kkossor I think if he was waiting which it didn’t seem that way to me but I didn’t watch the show just this clip it’s probably because he was able to read a drunk persons body language and also intuition! If I think someone is going to do something I def have my eye on them

Right like how are they all like omg he totally overreacted to seeing a grown man SLAP a woman?? And he was “waiting” to be a “knight in shinning armor” like wtf he wasn’t over reacting & stepping in to tell him off because he like didn’t open a door for her or said something rude. Idc if he didn’t do it hard enough so it wouldn’t hurt bad that’s fucking RUDE like crossing the line. U aren’t with ur mates back home but ur coworkers ur friendly with. Just admit u were wrong & misjudged the situation

No minimizing, Travis is just telling the truth of what actually occurred when selfish Anastasia massively overreacted because she craves attention. By the way, Anastasia was punching Travis earlier. By the way Anastasia was falling asleep at the table. Two double standards showing why women are still not equal to men no matter how much this feminism claims otherwise. You don't want to be treated as equals, you want to be allowed extra leeway to get away with stuff that you so hypocritically have a problem with men doing.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn Wow. Seems like you have some strong opinions. I'm going to disagree. I don't recall Anastasia punching a sleeping Travis. I also don't recall Anastasia being so drunk, on MULTIPLE occasions, that she fell asleep at the table. But hey, I'm sure you are a 'nice guy' and are just stating the facts. No one deserves to get slapped or given a 'love tap' while they are unaware. But, Mr. Nice Guy, feel free to respond. All 'Nice Guys' would lol

@@christinew1663 You didn't notice the man being hit by the woman, because men aren't irrational cry babies making a big deal out of nothing just for some attention. Anastasia sleeping at the table was the reason Travis gave her that love tap to wake her up... how brainless are you... very it seems.

@@JonDoe-dz9tn Wow. Again. Wow. Let's assume Anastasia was actually sleeping at the table, and just didn't have her eyes closed. And let's assume (for your argument) that she was shit faced drunk at the time (and not drunk, and just closing her eyes after many shit services as a chef) Did anyone actually hit Travis, who was shit faced drunk multiple times out in public (as well on the boat, not on service as I recall) while he was sleeping off his drunken stupor at the table, or when he wrangled the cork screw off the table server to 'try' and open a bottle? Did that happen when? Look bud, if you have an issue with 'feminism' or women in general, I would advise you to seek some help. But I truly think that you are just a troll, with some serious self confidence issues and are just looking to blame them on feminism. That isn't what my point was and I don't think that this was the take of many on what happened. If you ever move out of your mom's basement, and got over your insecurities, you might see that treating ALL people with just basic decency, is much better than blaming it on feminism.

@@christinew1663 It is a fact that Anastasia was punching Travis earlier in the day, apparently opening herself up to being okay with horseplay. It is clear you have no relevant rebuttal to the two different instances of double-standard hypocrisy, when you have to resort to making up nonsense stories. Pathetic.

I'm so sorry that you've had to endure that 😢 I know.. many women will laugh when uncomfortable. I think some men DO see they're making someone uncomfortable, they enjoy it, and will keep pushing. It's disgusting. Everyone deserves to have their space respected and everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their work environment!

our girls have different sense of humours coz they would do the same back and think this was funny

Just shut up

"Hitting"

Honestly this kinda banter is common in New Zealand tbh

@@makovixen81for teenage boys maybe

@Us Us Well, for one thing, he's not flirting and coming on to two women at the same time, and he seems to be drinking less and being more serious about his job. But, yeah, he still needs to work on being judgmental. We all have something we need to work on. I think he has potential.

Talking is not the same as a slap

@@corie619 can hurt longer though

How is comparing jao to Travis. That is horrible.

It’s a lil horseplay. Stupid but not the end of the world.

zdwade i disagree. Travis was so drunk. He smacked Anastasia while EYES CLOSED!! You could hear it!! Had he been sober and did it, he’d not likely had done it because he’s a fucking man & she’s a woman. And don’t get me wrong, if it were a woman hitting a man, it wouldn’t be ok either. It’s just respect ✊

@@MelsLife570 Women playfully hit men all the time and we never say anything because the fact is it doesn't actually hurt at all, even for women. Men just aren't crybaby drama queens looking to play the victim every chance there is. By the way, that is another double standard of the female being allowed to fall asleep at the table when it was considered so inappropriate for travis to do so earlier.

Jon Doe Travis didn’t fall asleep at the table - he passed out. She wasn’t really asleep...she closed her eyes. Not drunk.

@@MelsLife570 He wasn't fully asleep either, but not admitting fault for your double standards and pulling justifications out of your backside is a woman's specialty, isn't it.

Good point!

Weird, right? The guy getting sick was an accident, unlike Travis's actions.

EXACTLY! I just made a comment about this above, on the main thread. Jack is whitewashing everything Travis does wrong, and it's not helping anything but Travis's (apparently) fragile ego.

Jacks a tosser what do you expect?

First off, hello fellow Amy! Second, I agree! He seems like a genuinely nice/good guy. Definitely not one of those "nice guys" that have ulterior motives. I've liked him since I first saw him.

He is cute

Wonder if he will take all of us as his wives. 😂 He is such a great dude. And we know he loves his mama and not in a needy creepy way😁

He needs a hookup.

He is so adorable..I would date him, marry him and have his babies

Me too. You do not EVER lay your hands on another person unless it's in self defence because you don't know what that person's capable of, do they have a knife? I'm from Glasgow and we have a massive knife problem.

that's so true, and its generally like that in this industry ,Im speaking from the point of view of a flight attendant I cant speak for others in hospitality but it cant be too different

Agreed!

Birds of a feather....

Do sounds cause pain, no they do not. Wasn't even as hard as a parent who spanks a 5 year old on the rear. A human's pain tolerance is much higher.

Hunter Pope nobody have the right to touch, slap, push anybody, NOBODY doesn’t matter gender.

@@SuperBellaChicka Anastasia put her hands on the men earlier jokingly punching them, nobody even noticed because men aren't irrational drama queen cry babies.

Yes, Joáo has changed a lot.

@She’s so Lucky Ana literally had this pissed off face like why the hell you support him but not me.

Oh no, not one of your own kind, a woman spilling the truth about your gender's constant overreactions, for no reason other than you girls get a cheap thrill out of being drama queens.

@Us Us Can you really be considered mature Women when you act like little crybabies throwing temper tantrums over anything and everything. Just little baby girls.

@Us Us hahahahaha

I dont agree, people make mistakes even serious mistakes

Good question. One producer on Potomac accused Michael for sexually assaulting him for bumping into him. This was clearly assualt that the world witnessed. And nothing was done about it.

Because producers are smarter people than the majority of brainless sheep who watch reality tv.

Jon Doe we all know they are calling it that cause they don’t want to get sued for airing an assault on camera and not doing anything

@@gt4436 If you think that painless horseplay is worthy of criminal assault, you are one of the dumbest people in the entire world.

'Little boy' culture, just like the excessive drinking pattern like drinking is the only fun thing to do when it litteraly destroys everything

Addicts always do. I hope he gets help.

How about Muslims? But then again Muslims hate gays and they get a free pass for that as well.

I'm from Perth just like he is and it's total bs.
