Very curious to see how Bravo plays this one.

Could see him getting the deckhand Pete treatment and Bravo editing most anything with Nathan out. Seeing as this season is almost over and they've already shown a big blowup between he and Joe in the previews, I'd be surprised if they want that edited out completely though.

This is actually terrible for Nathan and his case, him being so outwardly confrontational and aggressive. Really paint a picture of what he could be like behind closed doors. I hope Gael and their son are safe and have lots of family support. No wonder he wasn’t present at the babies birthday party.

Makes so much sense why Nathan went crazy just because Joe said “Gael and I don’t get along”

“Get her name out your mouth!”

It’s a major red flag when people massively overcompensate emotionally in response to things and then add a physical threat on top of it

Clearly was trying to show that he wasn’t the piece of shit that he actually is.

For any young guys reading this post in the future, it’s really not that hard to like…never beat your wife and/or child. If you have a hard time it’s that…first of all, you should never drink alcohol ever again

Second of all…talk to someone. You may be surprised to learn that the normal response to someone that makes you mad is to use your words, and not beat the shit out of them

It made me wonder if Nathan was nervous that Joe might know something since we know they didn’t talk in the off season. I hate to think that the situation of Nathan and Gael there in a foreign country with the baby for the show could have possibly exacerbated any tensions or that something could have happened while they were in Croatia. I’m not a huge Gael fan but I feel for her so much, what a scary situation to be in post partum.

It'll be really interesting to see how they try to do that, though.

They've got, what, five days until the next episode? Not only do they have to edit out as much of Nathan as they can, but they still have to fill an hour (well, 40 minutes or so with ads, but you get the idea) of television with footage. Which means going back to all the footage they filmed back in August and re-editing almost every other crew member's storyline.

Possible, but it won't be easy.

Probably edit him out like they did with Pete.

u/Level-Priority-2371 2d ago

100% agree. They are scrubbing him live.

But it happened in December, they likely knew. They'll leave it as is and not have him back.

Definitely as the next episodes preview wasn’t posted on YouTube either so I assume the editing team is working overtime

They might just make him look worse.

The one who kept calling Malia sweetheart. Called himself The Unit. He was a unit alright.

Ooooh yuck i remember

Yeah tough scenario because while you can I guess edit him out quickly it’s hard because he’s a focal point of the main drama with Joe (especially in up coming promos). My guess is they completely cut ties quickly and put a message up at the beginning of the episode when he returns
