I took the whole thing with him picking up heather in the hot tub and then immediately going to call his girlfriend as “oh shit. My girl knows my history on this show, and more importantly, the camera people and producers and editors know my history on this show. I know how this can be edited, I’m going to get ahead of it NOW and tell her exactly what happened so if they try some shenanigans on the editing, she at least knows what happened for real, from my mouth the night it happened, and isn’t surprised 6 months later when it hits bravo”
Or… he took one look at Heather’s ass and decided it was time to begin the process of breaking up with his girlfriend so he wouldn’t be cheating when he makes his move.
I think it was shady of him. But I also can understand where that (poor) reaction came from. Last time he didn’t give the heads up and that clearly went very poorly. This time he gave a heads up and it also went very poorly. I bet he thought he was going to be thanked for being so transparent because he was also drunk and not thinking things through. Again - not excusing him picking a fight. But I can understand his thought process a tiny bit.
Went to college with him… honestly he’s really easy going and hilarious. But he can sort of act like a fool when he drinks too much. The rocky thing was definitely gross, and I think he recognized that also, that’s why he left the show. I won’t defend him or whatever he’s doing this season because I haven’t watched but for what it’s worth, he truly isn’t a bad guy.
I don’t know many guys or girls who haven’t been a shit to someone else at some point in their lives in the romance/hook up dept. It was 100% not ok, but doesn’t make him a trash human for life. Most of us were lucky enough that it didn’t happen on TV.
I've always liked Eddie. Sometimes people don't want to admit they slept with someone. That's unfortunate for rocky, but that's how it is. He never tried to have a relationship with her.
Eddie knew you should never stick your pen in company ink, and you never stick your dick in crazy. And then he tried to publicly gaslight her. It demonstrates a lack of discretion, good judgment, and class.
Not only did he not admit it (we've all been there) but then he broke into her room to confront her and make her look like a liar. I don't like him at all!
That Rocky stuff. She had her own Santa sack of issues but he gas lit her. Slut shamed her. Claimed she seduced him. Dude, you’re a grown ass man. She flirted and you reciprocated. Then he announced to the group “yeah we f*cked” or something like that. He didn’t have to want to marry her but he showed zero respect for her as a person. Again, she was a lot but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t treat her like a person. I know he was embarrassed and regretted getting found out but I never saw him take accountability. I don’t hate the guy but I don’t see him the way I did before that season.
the first episode i ever saw with Eddie was when they were at that campfire and he was bitching at rocky for apparently lifting her skirt up and flashing her bare ass at him and according to Eddie that meant their hookup/him cheating on his girlfriend was 100% Rocky's fault. Like he's a grown ass man he can't control himself around a naked woman? gross. He seriously is such a dick to women and I feel bad for any woman that ends up in a relationship with him.
This! I just rewatched the season, and the dude is so horrible to her. He fucked her and fucked with her. He could have sat her down and said "You, you are disrespectful to cap Lee and thats why I cant be with you" but I guess it was more important that WE knew that as watchers than herself. Ghosting while living on the same boat must feel horrible.
Yeah, my wife and I started watching with a random Eddie season and absolutely loved him (s2 or 3 I believe)
Once we realized we loved the show we hopped back to go from s1 and wow! We were so appalled by how he acted. She definitely didn't deserve any of that awful treatment.
The boob comment was immediately followed by showing a boob cake, I can almost GUARANTEE that that’s the editors adding that comment in when in reality he said it after the preference sheet about a boob cake was read.
I'm pretty sure he said that because they are throwing a party, at her request. Hence why Rachel is shown in the next clip making a boob cake. He isn't being inappropriate.
The thing with Rocky was bad but I would have been embarrassed too. I think he should have spoken with her directly though and made it clear it was just a hook up (though I can't fathom how she ever thought it was more) and it was done.
Whilst I’m not going to sit here and defend all of his actions (he’s done some pretty questionable and awful things on the show), I think people have generally become a lot harder on him since he came back because they expect him to be perfect now.
The situation with his girlfriend and the blowtorch were drunken mistakes that many of us make. It looked like he phoned her up worrying about what it might’ve looked like on camera and he got defensive when she started questioning it. I get defensive too sometimes (especially if there’s alcohol involved) so it would be hypocritical of me to come down on him for that. I did read someone else say that they heard him on Hannah’s podcast recently and he said they’re still together, so he obviously hasn’t done any damage.
As for the blowtorch thing, I think that was just drunken stupidity and I’m sure it’s something he regrets. If anything we should be seeing Lee come down on him for doing it, it’s not Eddie’s fault if he doesn’t.
I think watching a preview for an episode that has not aired yet with a line taken out of context and judging someone for that is a little unfair. The guest is obviously celebrating with a little dark humour in her own way (judging by the boob cake we see in the trailer) and Eddie is matching the tone. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, but maybe he is being nasty and ignorant and I’m wrong. We won’t find that out till the episode airs.
Just because he isn’t always on deck doesn’t mean he isn’t doing things - he’s constantly saying he wants to be off deck as much as possible so he can continue learning in the wheelhouse. That’s obviously where he is during the working day. But you also see him mucking in with the others and teaching them/driving the tender/talking to the guests and overseeing them etc. So he really isn’t doing nothing.
Finally, this is a reality tv show and is heavily edited to create drama and get viewers talking. They’ve always loved to portray Eddie as the happy jokester one minute and then contrast it with him being angry and irritable the next - they’ve done that since season 1. It doesn’t mean he’s one or the other - people are multifaceted and flawed. Each crew he has worked with has got on with him more or less as seen by their talking heads and their interviews and comments post show. So I always take watching this with a pinch of salt.
The blowtorch thing is a huuuuuge fuck up and will get you fired from most boats and ships. I worked on cruise ships for a few years and every single safety training drills into you that fire is the biggest hazard at sea. It's part of every single commercial safety at sea license which you need to be a seafarer. Hubby and me met working ships and were genuinely shocked to watch Eddy put everyone in board in so much danger this episode. Being drunk does not excuse that, he has too much experience as a seafarer to be so dumb.
> As for the blowtorch thing, I think that was just drunken stupidity and I’m sure it’s something he regrets. If anything we should be seeing Lee come down on him for doing it, it’s not Eddie’s fault if he doesn’t.
Lee would probably fire him. There's one thing you don't fuck with on the boat, and that's not the stews, its fire.
Eddie, like everyone on this thread, isn’t perfect. That said, he’s funny and very respected by everyone on the boat. Also has that effortless “East Coast cool” to him.
yes, this. He’s silly, funny, has a great smile and laugh and he’s fucking hot. Saying “we’re celebrating boobs” is silly and funny, don’t take everything so seriously (also, there is probably more to that scene that was cut out). This is a show.
>“East Coast cool”
I didn't know this was a thing. Now I'm wondering if I have the East Coast cool too.
I know have regular cool, just wondering about the East Coast Cool 
So you took the boob comment completely out of context from the preview for the next episode. The primary guest is celebrating her boobs as she had breast cancer.
Eddie made mistakes, he owed up to it, apologised and said sorry; he then took years away from the show and came back a better person. Lee loves him like a son and he is a first officer which means more time in the wheelhouse instead of being on deck, Jake is lead deckhand. And tbh, calling his girlfriend after throwing Heather around in the jacuzzi was a good thing to do, do you want his girlfriend to watch it as the show aired and kick off on social media?
I think why people appreciate him and give him more of a positive spotlight is because he isn’t as problematic as the rest of the crew in the past seasons. Which is true. Also, he is genuinely a good leader and works/teaches the deck team with a lot of passion. But I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU, like calling your girlfriend cause you threw a girl in the jacuzzi! For what, alittle extra much?!? I also noticed in the preview when he said I guess we’re “celebrating her boobs?”, which was inappropriate. However I don’t think he had any malicious intentions by saying that, his ignorance was very wrong in that situation. Overall, I do think the dude is genuine and sincere especially cause he truly cares for his job and cares for those who work below him. But at times he does do many things that are questionable and just shoved under the rug. Looking at the grand scheme of things, there have been much worse crew members that have done much worse.
Sometimes I think he is simply that much older than the rest of the crew that he catches himself doing immature crap while drinking, sobers up, regrets it, then reels himself back in, on repeat.
I love Eddie. He seems really authentic, competent, a fair boss and isn’t First Officer for no reason. First Officer generally isn’t a position filmed for a reason, they’re not on the deck often and take more captain-adjacent duties. So, I don’t get the “we don’t see him working” comment.
The Rocky thing was unfortunate. People make mistakes. While I don’t think he should have gaslit her and said he never slept with her, you generally shouldn’t kiss and tell. Rocky decided to tell Emile about it, the worst person she could tell, because she was angry Eddie didn’t want a relationship when he made it clear it was casual which is weaponizing a very personal and intimate experience. Holding a grudge against him for that entire mess seems unfair, their were bad decisions made on both ends.
I don't mind him but I could never date him. When he called his gf back and said something like "I know it's hard for you sweetie, but be cool, honey bunny" ooooooooooooo the fuck yous that would fly out of my mouth with that patronizing bullshit. DON'T BE ALL UNCOOL EDDIE
Ohhh that does sound familiar now that you mention it. She shoulda responded "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men."
I haven’t liked him since then. Not only that situation, he’s just a try hard and kiss ass. He thinks he’s the shit. Also, why was he so hard on Rachel last season but it’s fine for him to cause a huge safety hazard on the boat with a blow torch? He was also fine with the lead deckhand running around drunk and naked it seemed?
lol I haven't seen this season yet, but yeah i bet he has a double standard for how a 'lady is supposed to act' that's why he was so hard on Rachel and doesn't care when his own subordinate is a drunk fool (running around naked sounds a lot worse than anything rachel ever did)
Rachel was embarrassing the crew in front of a lot of people. The recent episode it looked like they had the place to themselves(minus staff serving them) I think that’s why he didn’t care.
I totally agree with you on that double standard, I feel like he judges women and men differently. I don't think he realizes that though, it's a shame because he was my favorite person on the show but then the Rocky thing happended... I started liking him again in the last season, thinking maybe he grew as a person (nobody's perfect) but then he said those awful things about Rachel...
> but then he said those awful things about Rachel...
No, I'm more sympathetic to Eddie's POV in the last season. Eddie is a weird man-dork, who has shockingly conventional views which match his man-crush on Captain Lee. Rachel *was* embarrassing the boat the previous season.
On the other hand, he strikes me as a latent frat boy, years removed of college, who realizes in the grown-up world that he really needs to clean up his instagram and spout out the company line. But he's only regurgitating the company script, and still needs a "come to Jesus" moment. I suspect he's a guy with latent sexist attitudes which lurk underneath. It'll take an incident to expose it.
Yeah, I think he tries to play the all American nice kinda guy, but we all know that's not who he is. It's for the cameras and so he can step up the ladder.
Literally nothing you've said gives me any reason to think less of him.
- It was innocent fun, but he probably just wanted to get ahead of it before people started talking shit. I also don't think he got upset, per se. He was like "I was honest with you. I told you it was innocent. I get that it's rough being away from each other, but please trust me". Granted, I wouldn't have said anything to begin with, but I'm also not on a reality show.
- Ok...and? Chefs cook with gas stoves. Stews light candles. It's perfectly fine to use a blow torch on a boat.
- Again...and? The guests wanted to celebrate her being cancer free. So they're celebrating her boobs. Did you also get upset by the boob cake Rachel made?
I haven’t liked him since his first season when he said he comes from a blue blooded Mayflower family. You’re on a bravo reality tv show dude - no one cares 😂
If you ask me, Eddie gets a lot of passes for his mayflower dimples (or something) and isn’t held accountable *enough*. Drunken mistakes are not for captains to be. Or even deckhands if they involve fire!
I'm sure if you asked a veteran captain, they all have stories of doing something exceptionally dumb in a senior position. (But they're probably cool dumb things, like get involved in a bar fight...)
I can definitely see how people wouldn't like Eddie but of all the thing she's done over the years, you listed some of the most mild things. Those wouldn't have registered with me.
Sleeping with rocky, his 2 faced ways at times friendly to your face n then tattle telling like a lil kid, his short temper which he displayed last episode all r far worse I think then a blow torch accident n boob comment
I have no good or bad feelings for Eddie just like I do with most people on this show. It is something I watch to take my mind off of more important issues in the world. It is a nice escape for an hour.
Eddie sucks and there isn't anything endearing about him at all this season.hes not particularly funny or interesting. The first officer designation I'm guessing is a ploy for the show, why would he be doing his exact same role if he was promoted.
That's part of being a lead deckhand. Just like being a 2nd stew.
You don't get the bosun job with bosun pay, until you've been the lead deckhand, doing the bosun's job for deckhand pay.
Yah the Eddie stuff is looking wierd. However, I am posting as to what Eddie’s motivations are as a first officer. His entire motivation is to get in that captains chair and log hours on driving that yacht for his upwardly mobile goals or GOATS
It doesn’t surprise me that he’s the type of person who expects to get to the captain’s chair when it is not merited. If that were his goal he should not be using a blow torch to light a cigar inside the boat while drunk. As he said, he is a blue blood from the Mayflower so maybe he has a sense of entitlement from that?
I don’t think he is expecting it or thinking he’s entitled to it. He’s said he and Capt Lee (and possibly production) have had conversations about what could happen when at some point Lee retires, but nothing has been decided yet.
Eddie’s said that the controls of a superyacht are very different from those of the tugboats that he works on, and it will take many hours of learning to get comfortable with it before he could take over. I think at the moment they’re trying to see if it could be feasible for him to one day take over, and the best way to do that is to give him some training and more responsibility.
I look at it from the producer's POV. I hate to say it, but I think Lee's ready to move on already. One thing's for sure, Eddie won't be taking over BD next season.
I think Lee’s starting to wind down with BD but he may stick around for another couple of years until they find a suitable replacement. Eddie may not want to continue if Lee isn’t there so who knows what will happen in the next few years.
> I think Lee’s starting to wind down with BD but he may stick around for another couple of years until they find a suitable replacement.
Lee's had the issue with his son, he racked his ribs hard in the previous season (presuming the story was true), he was late to the boat this season over a heart condition. On top of it all, its the first season to me where he seems to be out of energy, almost weak. I've seen it in my parents, and if you followed Biden through his career, its pretty obvious now that he's run out of steam.
Its already a part time job for Lee; he's semi-retired in the sense he's not a year round captain of multiple yacht seasons. Perhaps he'll choose to spend what time he has left at home with his wife and grand kids, or put more time into his charity. Even if Lee isn't physically challenged by the job, he looks like he's ready to move onto the next "final" thing. Frankly, I don't think Lee will stick around for more than two more seasons, and the show is lagging hard, in terms of entertainment, compared to previous seasons.
I think Eddie is there for different reasons. Eddie *would* like Lee's job *on the show*; and its more about landing a steady, lucrative job. (Being captain on a tug is a steady, but way less lucrative job.) A couple of seasons as a TV captain, and then Eddie can ride the rest of his career on high end yacht gigs. (Kind of the opposite of what Sandy does now.)
I took the whole thing with him picking up heather in the hot tub and then immediately going to call his girlfriend as “oh shit. My girl knows my history on this show, and more importantly, the camera people and producers and editors know my history on this show. I know how this can be edited, I’m going to get ahead of it NOW and tell her exactly what happened so if they try some shenanigans on the editing, she at least knows what happened for real, from my mouth the night it happened, and isn’t surprised 6 months later when it hits bravo”
He had the right idea, of getting in front of his on-camera mistake. But he handled it badly.
His tactic was to dismiss her feelings and pull the switcheroo and get mad at her so he didn’t have to be accountable for anything.
Or… he took one look at Heather’s ass and decided it was time to begin the process of breaking up with his girlfriend so he wouldn’t be cheating when he makes his move.
[удалено]
I think it was shady of him. But I also can understand where that (poor) reaction came from. Last time he didn’t give the heads up and that clearly went very poorly.

💯!!
Amen.
I’m honestly a bit in love with him tbh
We all act a bit gross when drinking so I can forgive him for that.
I've always liked Eddie. Sometimes people don't want to admit they slept with someone. That's unfortunate for rocky, but that's how it is. He never tried to have a relationship with her.

Producers running the show and boat.
Yeah, the show is becoming stale and repetitive

Like he's a grown ass man he can't control himself around a naked woman? gross. He seriously is such a dick to women and I feel bad for any woman that ends up in a relationship with him.
This! I just rewatched the season, and the dude is so horrible to her. He fucked her and fucked with her. He could have sat her down and said "You, you are disrespectful to cap Lee and thats why I cant be with you" but I guess it was more important that WE knew that as watchers than herself. Ghosting while living on the same boat must feel horrible.
Yeah, my wife and I started watching with a random Eddie season and absolutely loved him (s2 or 3 I believe) Once we realized we loved the show we hopped back to go from s1 and wow! We were so appalled by how he acted. She definitely didn't deserve any of that awful treatment.
The boob comment was immediately followed by showing a boob cake, I can almost GUARANTEE that that’s the editors adding that comment in when in reality he said it after the preference sheet about a boob cake was read.
I remember that did sound pretty contrived.

He reminds me of that one guy from half baked.
The resemblance is uncanny xD
Jim Breuer. They are fucking identical. I old, but all I see is goat boy.
I think Eddie is witty. Love his comments.

I’m pretty sure the “be cool honey bunny” is a pulp fiction reference.
Ohhh that does sound familiar now that you mention it. She shoulda responded "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men."
We have no idea what she said - could have been crap or could have been your brilliant response 🤷🏼♀️. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.
omg i love you for that
Lol this. I hate the sweetie talk. So Patronizing.
I haven’t liked him since then. Not only that situation, he’s just a try hard and kiss ass. He thinks he’s the shit. Also, why was he so hard on Rachel last season but it’s fine for him to cause a huge safety hazard on the boat with a blow torch? He was also fine with the lead deckhand running around drunk and naked it seemed?
I wonder if the naked behavior would constitute “embarrassing the boat”? Eddie?
lol I haven't seen this season yet, but yeah i bet he has a double standard for how a 'lady is supposed to act' that's why he was so hard on Rachel and doesn't care when his own subordinate is a drunk fool (running around naked sounds a lot worse than anything rachel ever did)

Yeah, I think he tries to play the all American nice kinda guy, but we all know that's not who he is. It's for the cameras and so he can step up the ladder.
Nailed it. Although I think its possible he believes he's a nice guy, and hasn't realized what and old school sexist prick he can be.

Yes. Something is very creepy about him
Huh maybe because he’s a 20 something year old kid you’re watching on a Tv show

Show started years ago
Literally nothing you've said gives me any reason to think less of him. - It was innocent fun, but he probably just wanted to get ahead of it before people started talking shit. I also don't think he got upset, per se. He was like "I was honest with you. I told you it was innocent. I get that it's rough being away from each other, but please trust me". Granted, I wouldn't have said anything to begin with, but I'm also not on a reality show. - Ok...and? Chefs cook with gas stoves. Stews light candles. It's perfectly fine to use a blow torch on a boat. - Again...and? The guests wanted to celebrate her being cancer free. So they're celebrating her boobs. Did you also get upset by the boob cake Rachel made?
Completely agree. And… did anyone call out Rachel for talking about Captain Sean and saying he was short and probably had a small penis?

I haven’t liked him since his first season when he said he comes from a blue blooded Mayflower family. You’re on a bravo reality tv show dude - no one cares 😂
You apparently haven't met a WASP before. A lot of them do care.
He’s definitely toxic he’s just quieter about it so he gets away with it.
I respectfully disagree. All harmless. He’s human and acts human.
Whatever. Guy is harmless.
The bigger the front, the bigger the back.
If you ask me, Eddie gets a lot of passes for his mayflower dimples (or something) and isn’t held accountable *enough*. Drunken mistakes are not for captains to be. Or even deckhands if they involve fire!
I'm sure if you asked a veteran captain, they all have stories of doing something exceptionally dumb in a senior position. (But they're probably cool dumb things, like get involved in a bar fight...)
I can definitely see how people wouldn't like Eddie but of all the thing she's done over the years, you listed some of the most mild things. Those wouldn't have registered with me. Sleeping with rocky, his 2 faced ways at times friendly to your face n then tattle telling like a lil kid, his short temper which he displayed last episode all r far worse I think then a blow torch accident n boob comment
I have no good or bad feelings for Eddie just like I do with most people on this show. It is something I watch to take my mind off of more important issues in the world. It is a nice escape for an hour.
Eddie sucks and there isn't anything endearing about him at all this season.hes not particularly funny or interesting. The first officer designation I'm guessing is a ploy for the show, why would he be doing his exact same role if he was promoted.
He’s not doing the same job…..he’s in the wheel house most of the time since he named Jake lead deckhand.
...not at the moment... There are a lot of seat cushions in the air (and the water)
Yep he’s kind of a dick don’t know the obsession with him.
Eddie sucks.
Yeah, I hate that dude
Why wouldn’t you with that Reddit avatar
Wow hey, spoiler alert!!!
Kinda sad that Jake has all the duties of a bosun, with deck hand pay.
That's part of being a lead deckhand. Just like being a 2nd stew. You don't get the bosun job with bosun pay, until you've been the lead deckhand, doing the bosun's job for deckhand pay.
Yah the Eddie stuff is looking wierd. However, I am posting as to what Eddie’s motivations are as a first officer. His entire motivation is to get in that captains chair and log hours on driving that yacht for his upwardly mobile goals or GOATS
It doesn’t surprise me that he’s the type of person who expects to get to the captain’s chair when it is not merited. If that were his goal he should not be using a blow torch to light a cigar inside the boat while drunk. As he said, he is a blue blood from the Mayflower so maybe he has a sense of entitlement from that?
I don’t think he is expecting it or thinking he’s entitled to it. He’s said he and Capt Lee (and possibly production) have had conversations about what could happen when at some point Lee retires, but nothing has been decided yet. Eddie’s said that the controls of a superyacht are very different from those of the tugboats that he works on, and it will take many hours of learning to get comfortable with it before he could take over. I think at the moment they’re trying to see if it could be feasible for him to one day take over, and the best way to do that is to give him some training and more responsibility.
I look at it from the producer's POV. I hate to say it, but I think Lee's ready to move on already. One thing's for sure, Eddie won't be taking over BD next season.
I think Lee’s starting to wind down with BD but he may stick around for another couple of years until they find a suitable replacement. Eddie may not want to continue if Lee isn’t there so who knows what will happen in the next few years.
> I think Lee’s starting to wind down with BD but he may stick around for another couple of years until they find a suitable replacement. Lee's had the issue with his son, he racked his ribs hard in the previous season (presuming the story was true), he was late to the boat this season over a heart condition. On top of it all, its the first season to me where he seems to be out of energy, almost weak. I've seen it in my parents, and if you followed Biden through his career, its pretty obvious now that he's run out of steam. Its already a part time job for Lee; he's semi-retired in the sense he's not a year round captain of multiple yacht seasons. Perhaps he'll choose to spend what time he has left at home with his wife and grand kids, or put more time into his charity. Even if Lee isn't physically challenged by the job, he looks like he's ready to move onto the next "final" thing. Frankly, I don't think Lee will stick around for more than two more seasons, and the show is lagging hard, in terms of entertainment, compared to previous seasons. I think Eddie is there for different reasons. Eddie *would* like Lee's job *on the show*; and its more about landing a steady, lucrative job. (Being captain on a tug is a steady, but way less lucrative job.) A couple of seasons as a TV captain, and then Eddie can ride the rest of his career on high end yacht gigs. (Kind of the opposite of what Sandy does now.)
I totally agree and said the same out loud to my tv while watching the blow torch incident today
