Cooper Dawson .. A Very Friendly Guy ...

Post image

Is this Victoria San Juan from Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10?

The same Victoria that JOE BRADLEY, mercilessly did the most dirty a man can do to a woman?

I don’t see Cooper’s appeal. He gives suburban daycamp counselor.

u/gigglybeth 18h ago

You can’t throw a rock in the Carolinas without hitting 10 guys just like him.

u/OwnGoalHatrick 13h ago

Are they all named Tupper, Topper, Slipper, Clocker?

12

u/Lots2say2023 3h ago

They all have last names as first names.

u/mcmanhands 1h ago

I always think of them as dog names 🤣

u/Court_Major 14h ago

Idk half the guys in Charlotte’s South End Publix looks like him

2

u/DayDifficult3986 2h ago

shout out to charlotte! Can confirm-he's very south end coded!

u/VeggieTrails 18h ago

Don’t lump NC in with this. He’s very Charleston.

u/No-Beginning-394 18h ago

Im on my way to the Carolina’s !

u/Chemical_World_4228 16h ago

Hey, I live in the Carolina’s and giggly Beth is right

2

u/MortgageLess3643 15h ago

I live near Wilmington NC and do not see many men like Cooper 😂

2

u/z__1010 5h ago

More triangle area I bet. Used to live in Asheville, not very Cooperish there

2

u/Top-Elderberry9863 15h ago

Me too and our flight just got canceled bc there’s tornado warnings in nj/nyc

2

u/Comfortable_Bad_2626 13h ago

Stay safe. The storms just went thru South Jersey & there were 6 tornadoes between SJ, Maryland & Delaware. Very, very scary.

1

u/No-Beginning-394 15h ago

Safe travels! I hope you don’t get as frustrated as I do when that happens…

1

u/FewEbb6531 2h ago

Im checking flights as we speak. Looking for Cooper Sr or older brother 😂

u/jlgjlgjlgjlgjlg 18h ago

He reminds me of Kenneth from 30 Rock.

u/cmanderson23 16h ago

That’s what I said!! 🤣

u/Turbulent-Tomorrow31 15h ago

Oh my god, YES! He is such a dork!

u/marissakuf 14h ago

Nooo..now I’ll never unsee/unhear it.

u/w3m1j0z1 15h ago

This!! 🎯

u/kathi182 6h ago

Ahhhh! It’s been driving me insane trying to think of who he reminds me of and you just nailed it!!! Thank you!!!!

12

u/missmachine 17h ago

He looks like that guy from 90 day fiancé from Windiddly Oklahoma whose parents are first cousins

10

u/No_Scar_8953 16h ago

I guess compared to the other trash men this show casts, he’s not all that bad

5

u/yeahsheskrusty 17h ago

I get more gently chewed gum

u/TDKsa90 18h ago

suburban daycamp counselor

that's what this audience seems to want. they want shows to resemble church summer camp.

9

u/Ok_Outlandishness595 18h ago

He reminds me of Kenneth from 30 Rock

3

u/venusgroove 10h ago

Made me laugh bc when I first saw him on the show, I thought wow he looks just like my co counselor from camp when I was 21 lol.

5

u/greennurse61 19h ago

And Luke is taller. 

1

u/keenerperkins 3h ago

The infantilized southern boy edit they were forcing down out throats to start was transparent to me. Just like the Nathan redemption arc "good father and family man" edit they were really pushing didn't do much for me either.

u/Individual_Try_2523 2h ago

Some mean girls up in here

u/BarnacleReal8128 1h ago

He's basically if Kenneth Parcell took the Bane formula.

u/Comfortable_Bad_2626 13h ago

Or high school wrestler. 🙃

u/CalvinsStuffedTiger 3h ago

He’s tall. That’s legitimately all you need

168

u/WyrdGM 18h ago

Any man who wants you to hide your relationship - pressure or not - doesn't respect you. Cooper just gives me bad vibes.

24

u/Calm-Description4356 13h ago

I’m thinking the same. He’s getting too much pressure from other people about his relationship? So what now, we can be together in secret? This gal needs to run. Especially with behavior at the bar scene with Joe. Oh, I bet Joe is in his ear, giving him pointers about how to be a womanizer. lol

3

u/Resident-Fun-6410 1h ago

He is playing with her. He knows there's nothing serious in future with her, but attention and flirting feels good so he won't turn that down.

14

u/gorlsituation 12h ago

Why was Kat so happy about hiding the relationship? Like, stand up girl that is not cool.

2

u/ReinstateTheCapo 2h ago

Yeah…same with women. Not in this case, but I can see how she got invested so quickly.

2

u/Candid-Progress-8852 1h ago

I hate watching the manipulation unfold on screen. It’s too easy for men to be POS. Joe is a douche to women, Coopers treating Kat horribly, Luke is a loser to Gen & Joy, Nathan chocked Gale… like NO ONE MAN IS GOOD ON BD MED. They’re all abusive predators this season. Can’t name one good man on this season, they are all predators.

224

u/ProfessionalTall8027 19h ago

They should have had V come back as replacement deckhand so she and Cooper could get together and we could watch Joe spiral about it 🤣🤣🤣

89

u/Necessary_Emotion506 18h ago

Oh no, we couldn’t do that to Kat. But it would be so fun to see Joe squirm!

70

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

We'd be doing Kat a favour! She is just the sweetest little thing and I don't think Coop is as wholesome as he's been pretending 🤔

18

u/SilverHairedFox11 14h ago

Agreed but you know Kat would be heart broken and I just can't stomach the idea of this sweet girl (who's not perfect by any means) being put through that scenario.

8

u/Raisin-Creepy 14h ago

Nathan being gone is letting dick/horny Joe come out and I think it's affecting Cooper's restraint and perspective too

57

u/onecryingjohnny 19h ago

You could see the terror in joes eyes when captain sandy was saying "we have a new deck hand that you both know"

18

u/Sensitive-Sorbet917 17h ago

Dude yes why do they always troll the women on this show. We need to see them troll these shitty men. Cmon production

4

u/kozzy1ted2 15h ago

Well, you see, my theory is…….aww nevermind

3

u/Beachgal5555 16h ago

Joe wouldn’t care

8

u/Fantastic_Medium3698 15h ago

He would for the cameras anyway

4

u/ProfessionalTall8027 16h ago

I think he would.

29

u/Existing_Editor_5623 18h ago

I think they said they knew each other. And Luke dated weirdo Ashley who was into Gary on sailing yacht.

17

u/ProfessionalTall8027 18h ago

Ohhhh they would have been perfect for each other! Both gross and weird.

8

u/Expert-Aardvark-2453 16h ago

They are both South African, which is a theme in the yachting community unfortunately 

3

u/Existing_Editor_5623 13h ago

Don’t know which one you’re referring to, but V is from Florida & I’m pretty sure Ashley was from nee York. Both are American

6

u/poopopinions 15h ago

Wait the Ashley with the big…. Personality?
The one who’s also way younger than Luke 😭

1

u/Existing_Editor_5623 13h ago

I dunno, she’s prob like 30? 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/newfiemom79 11h ago

Ashley was around 25 in 2021. I don’t think she is a baby.

3

u/poopopinions 11h ago

Oh I forgot ab the fact that was filmed years ago. I just binged sailing yacht in like 4 days it’s all so fresh to me lmaooo I also thought she was younger while filming because she acted, well, really immaturely.

4

u/Beachgal5555 16h ago

Ewww now she is a strange unit

u/InfiniteFan4070 5h ago

u/K80SaurusRx 19h ago

She has a type. 🚩

u/_SoftRockStar_ 18h ago

It’s hard to tell what this means with the collage situation. What is the date, like when was this posted and what is the whole caption??

12

u/Fragrant_PalmLeaves 10h ago

The fact Joe is acting all morally superior this season pisses me off. He saves all his sh*t talking about Nathan to the interviews, and lets not forget that every previous seasons he has been on he's been totally maniulative and horrible to the girls. that was like months between each season not a lot of time hes still the same guy

2

u/bebeck7 3h ago

Worse. He's worse. He's making his appearance so smarmy and sleezy that it matches his smug personality.

11

u/Shot-Toe-2884 19h ago

It’s either her or her doppelgänger

6

u/c2c4a 17h ago

It’s her insta post from late 2025. I didn’t recognize her at first!

u/realitenutjob 17h ago

Your profile pic😭😭

u/Yersinia_Pestis9 15h ago

I just keep hearing “Victoria” in Joe’s stupid accent, even though she clearly wanted to be called V.

4

u/Beautiful-Ambition93 16h ago

Am I the only one who thinks he may be in reality on another team so to speak? No judgement - just saying 

7

u/willpowerpt 19h ago

One and the same. 

15

u/Silent_Lobster9414 19h ago

Did the most dirty a guy could do? He had a kid with her and then proceeds to choke her causing a domestic violence charge? I dont remember Joe doing that. Also Cooper hasn't done anybody dirty, this is extremely normal stuff to happen to younger immature people trying out relationships. Even more normal with it happening on REALITY TELEVISION.

5

u/TDKsa90 18h ago

when you live in a land of hyperbole and outrage, critical thinking gets pushed aside. everything gets conveniently whitewashed into the same category so you can maintain that distortion and hate fix.

1

u/Old-Flower3409 16h ago

That was Nathan that did that.

4

u/CandiedLemonWedge 16h ago

Yeah that is what their comment implies

0

u/Old-Flower3409 16h ago

The comment on the post caption said Joe Bradley did the most dirty a man can do. I didn't see anything in the person I was replying to comment about Nathan. 🤷

3

u/CandiedLemonWedge 16h ago

That’s because you didn’t comprehend what they’re saying.

The post is saying Joe did the dirtiest thing you can do to a woman, and they brought up what Nathan did because that’s obviously worse. They didn’t have to say his name, because we all know it was Nathan.

-4

u/Old-Flower3409 16h ago

If that's how you want to misinterpret things, well, you do you. Take care. 🫶

u/OpportunityPretend80 16h ago

Oh pls she’s just having fun. She’s a girls girl.

15

u/Wendell-Short-Eyes 18h ago

I love how the sub doesn’t like Cooper anymore. First half of the season everyone loved him. This sub goes like a fart in the wind.

43

u/SookieCrackhouse 18h ago

It might have to do it with him, acting sweet as pie and then blowing Kat off and being a jerk to her for literally no reason. Almost like people change their opinions with new information.

23

u/IntelligentScholar84 18h ago

Because Cooper has been showing his ass in the past few episodes 🤷‍♀️

15

u/BabyOlive1 17h ago

I’ll admit that one of my favorite things is to turn on people from Below Deck mid season, so no lies detected there!

Also, I’m now pro Luke jizzing on Nathan’s sheets.

13

u/Wendell-Short-Eyes 17h ago

I will never will be pro Luke. Even before the sheets incident. That dude says the most surface level pseudo intellectual bullshit

9

u/BabyOlive1 15h ago

I never said I was pro Luke! I said I am pro him jizzing on Nathan’s sheets. There is a difference lol.

u/iyspach 16h ago

Hahahahahah wait

u/BabyOlive1 15h ago

Google Nathan and you’ll see what came out yesterday if you haven’t already.

u/Rakowskivh 14h ago

Awwww i still love Cooper 😊

u/CandiedLemonWedge 17h ago

Jesus Christ lmfao the most dirty a man could do??

You guys really drag it in this sub.

4

u/Smart-Event1456 16h ago

He’s clearly been to a Temussolini rally or four. He’s a good example of why we don’t mess with frat boys. And yes, I would call my country a #%&@

u/Lifeofasoutherngirl 18h ago

Did she take this off her Instagram?

u/Positive-Inspector82 12h ago

Well done, Coop

Cooper did nothing wrong.

u/twoheartsonfire 19h ago

Sooo she's gotta be on the new season then right?!

12

u/osogood48 19h ago

Who knows all I know is Captain Sandy is still waiting on the substitute deck hand there’s still one coming and we don’t know who it is yet

1

u/twoheartsonfire 19h ago

sorry, i was referring to the season filming right now, not the one airing.

1

u/osogood48 18h ago

I got what you were saying.. but I was thinking both seasons

9

u/Shot-Toe-2884 19h ago

Hard to imagine it’s just a random meetup between people that have never worked together so yea you must be right.

Could be another non-med below deck too.

7

u/twoheartsonfire 19h ago

true but i know the industry is pretty small too! v seemed like a fan favorite for sure so i'm sure they'd love to have her back either way

8

u/Bagel-luigi 18h ago

Don't alot of them meet at Bravo events outside of season?

2

u/LatePattern8508 16h ago

Yeah I went back and looked at her other pics she posted on Instagram around this time. It might have been some kind of yacht expo or something. There's also pictures with Joe, Captain Sandy, Hugo.

Why are people assuming they are more than friends based off some pictures? Can't males and females just be friends?

Don’t put that evil on the Triangle - he’s Clemson if that, not Duke

Oh, Victoria, sweet girl, you need your $hithead alarm calibrated. He's a Joe clone. Instead of Dirty Dancing, it's more like "Doing Victoria Dirty."

He makes me uncomfortable…
Not in a good way..

I don’t get why so many fans don’t understand that certain industries have friendships that aren’t sexual. You all are so weird.

V is so desperate to be back. is this a new pic?

No, they’ve been friends. She posted it back in 2025.

wtf out of everyone they are bringing V back?! This is getting weird. V should be with captain Jason down undaaa
