Bad-Boy Deckhand Wins Over the Second Stew

What went down

A drunk João stumbled into Brooke's cabin to confess his feelings (ep 3), then blamed an alter ego called 'Jezabob.' He kissed Brooke moments after telling Kasey he was happy with her (ep 8, 'Bizarre Love Triangle'), and they cuddled on deck until 2:30 a.m. Despite his ongoing flirting with Kasey, they left together for Florence, with João calling Brooke 'potentially' the one.

How it landed

Split by the reunion ('too much water under the bridge'). João later told Bravo he found out Brooke had cheated on him.
