Nicole Byer on Her Terrible Trip to the Bahamas

[@unstoppabletaboo]

Why are people in these comments so pressed? She didn't make any sweeping statements about the Bahamas as a country or a travel destination, she just listed specific complaints with the places SHE stayed at, people SHE encountered, and experiences SHE had. What's she supposed to do, lie about it?

[@jeanluccouture9088]

@unstoppabletaboo what you just said IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH PEOPLE HERE: "The actual interview starts at the 1:40 minute mark. I have watched it 3 times now...and NOT ONCE has she said "the bahamas is an ugly or horrible country or place to visit". She literally only talks about activities that she partook in and how they turned out: the swimming with the pigs... The air bnb/comfort inn... Horrible TOURISTS at the atlantis... Jet ski running out of gas. These are all things that can happen anywhere in the world, it just so happens that they happened in the bahamas for her. But even still NOT ONCE did she blame the country or make an all encompassing statement about Bahamas being a bad place." At the end she says "I'm never going back"... AND THENNNNNN ends it with "it was pretty, though" I implore people to go watch it again

[@loviniamcdiarmid4907]

The Bahamas is a Luxury destination so travelers on a budget who get "hook ups" for rooms, attractions and activities tend to have what they deem as unenjoyable experiences. Hook ups usually don't end well regardless of where you are in the world.

[@Grwnflksbzniss]

Exactly. I’m from The Bahamas; and I while I realize this is comedy, it’s not an accurate depiction of the country. What she described was parts of Nassau/New Providence. The Bahamas is actually made up of over 700 islands and cays, about 20 or so are inhabited. But hey, it’s all good 🤷🏾‍♀️

There are 700 islands she has a bad experience with one. When the truth is considering the budget she was on who goes to the Bahamas on a vacation and stays in a Comfort Inn or Airbnb I was born there she has champagne taste on a beer pocket but complaining I don't even know if the streetwalkers even use the Comfort Inn anymore

I am from the Bahamas these comments is untrue. She only person I heard talking about Atlantis. Thousands of people travel just to see the major resort a day. I have a sister who work at Atlantis. Insulting people about how they look is nasty. By the way Bahamas is made up of many different islands. She just want to make fun of the Bahamas. Sorry Nicole your joke don't add up. I wasn't not impressed.

In defense of Jimmy Kimmel he didn't use his platform he cannot control what an audience says or guest says rather in fact he tried to make light of her harsh criticism by using humor I think he handled her very well and I say that as a Bahamian she's the trash you can't blame him for what she said

[@jeanluccouture9088]

She talked about how horribly her experiences went.... Not once did i hear her belittle or bash the actual country. You all seem to not realize that these interviews are well rehearsed, and I'm sure that the words that were said were previoisly approved and vetted by the PR Team. If you watch this again you will see my point. She aint bashing the country.... She's bashing HER experience, and i see the humour in her delivery.

You obviously need to learn about a place before you travel, don't categorize the entire Bahamas based on one bad experience on one island. There are 17 major islands in the country, with many different cays. If you broke just say so, but don't stay an cheap places an make it seems as if the entire place are so. You decided to get the hook up an use your taxi driver to get you to use jet ski on the low an your complaining that gas ran out. You should have went the correct routes. The government always advertised if you use jet ski operators on the low its at your own risk. So please don't discredit the country based off of your cheap actions.

And for the Bahamian people attacking her, she is of Bahamian decent and has family still there. She's not just talking as an ignorant american with no attachments to that island. But she also has every damn right to speak about her experience. Just as you would. I've been to Jamaica and the experience was similar.

Interesting the comments. She never once spoke about Bahamian people and culture. She spoke about her own experience while there. She didn’t say no one should go. She said she didn’t have a good time in a way comedians do when telling jokes and anecdotes. Some comments saying “if you can’t pay luxury don’t come” does that mean people that are not millionaires should not visit? I think taking here experience in a vacation and attacking her for having a bad time is just very immature. Everyone cyc this or cyc that. That seems like a very friendly place to go…

[@loviniamcdiarmid4907]

A disclaimer about her intent to not have her personal views about the destination taken seriously at the beginning would have been more responsible. Word of mouth(whether correct or incorrect) from an entertainment personality on late night tv in America can be very damaging.
