💘 Boatmance · Below Deck Season 1
Sam & C.J.: The Original Will-They-Won't-They
What went down
Sparks flew on a crew night out in ep 2 and the pair took things 'to the next level' in ep 3, leaving them unsure where they stood in ep 4. C.J. confessed feelings and played wingman-blocker on Sam's bar flirting in ep 5. In ep 8 their secret rendezvous, drinking off the side of the boat while the crew worked, blew up in their faces, and in ep 9 C.J. left the boat.
How it landed
Ended when C.J. left Honor before the final charter; the pair explained their relationship at the reunion.
