Natalie HAS to go to a speech therapist and stop talking thru her teeth.  It’s driving me crazy.  Why can’t she open her mouth like a normal person?

She's suppressing the bulk of her hatred to get that sweet green card for true love.

Brandon should have never brought her over without his own place.  He should have settled moving out and let his parents adjust before proceeding.  No way Julia was going to love farm life and no way she wouldn't become the focus of his parents anger.

Jacob is on to something with his love for the 80s.  Did anyone here grow up back then?  Was it as great as it seems?  All of the entertainment was so innocent and optimistic - it must have been a glorious time.  As Chris would say, the 80s were dope.

Random thoughts:

Liz is there to try to look pretty on TV.  And she might have succeeded...at 23.  At 30, it's sad.  She should be competent at act like an adult. 

Liz wouldn't be banging James if he wasn't a dick to her.

There's such a low energy vibe from Rob.

Having a cleanup all day in the sun when crew members are sick is the worst possible idea.  Unless, they make it look like all day but it was really half an hour for the cameras.  

Ash needs to be featured more.  She's charming and hot as hell.  And, if she can have a crush on that dumpy guest, she'd kerploosh herself over me.

I don't get what's wrong with Ashling, "food related" isn't a diagnoses, though stomach issues can be hard to diagnose.

Yara is with Jovi for 2 weeks before he leaves, right?  I'd get a paternity test on that baby as soon as it's born.

 

EDIT: The way Julia has the perfectly positioned dirt on her cheek when she calls her dad makes me think there's some storyline nonsense going on.  Farms are dirty, but you can wash your face before facetiming your dad.

When Yara is telling her friend she's pregnant, it looks like only one line.

I don't care what Rachel says in her talking heads or to the rest of the crew, but she was awful to the poor band members who couldn't do their job, not to mention the other guests who had to hear her!

If the cameras weren't on, she would have been dealt with.  I can imagine a producer off camera offering something to the band/resort to keep them from intervening.

Since when does the chef wander off to gather the provisions?  I've only seen them delivered.

What was weird was that Rachel went off for provisions on her own, PRIOR to the preference sheet meeting being shown, so those things were out of sequence.   How would she know what to order if she hadn't already seen the preference sheets (which it looked like she was reviewing, prior to going shopping on her own)?  Bad editing there....

Maybe she's going off for more than provisions.  Her behavior seems like more than just alcohol to me.

 

1 hour ago, njbchlover said:

What I don't understand about all of this, is why didn't Eddie or Francesca or any of the other crew ask Rachel about her obnoxious drunken behavior?  

I know Eddie and Francesca discussed it with Captain Lee, but I think someone should have enlightened her to the fact that she owed everyone a big apology for embarrassing them and ruining their entire day off.  Not that I think Rachel would have apologized to anyone - she doesn't seem to have any remorse for what occurred.  

I know she can cook better than any chef we've seen, but her out-of-galley behavior disgusts me.  Her mouth is foul (even when she's sober), she's rude and she's a nasty drunk.  The only "positive" thing I can say about Rachel is that I am learning a whole new set of descriptives for genitalia!  

What would be the point?  She might apologize when sober, then act out again with her first sip of alcohol (or whatever else).  Ultimately, she can do whatever she wants as long as Lee lets her and he made his choice.  It's been 2 charters since her freak out, he could have gotten a replacement by now.  Lee screwed that up.

If I was a guest on the yacht I would like to be served by Elizabeth any time.

You all comment as if these guests were in a boot camp , .....relax, they are on a vacation.

And Elizabeth is the best looking and most sexy of them all, she could knock on my door anytime. Great looks and great personality.

If the only requirement is that she be fun to look at while she's serving you, Sierra would be the greatest stew of all time. 

Also, Ash tops Liz any day.

For me Elizabeth is one of the kindest and hard working persons I have seen. Her smile and behaviour is genuine and from the heart while Francesca is all staged and false.

Hard working?  She took 45 minutes and never checked on the guests because she was running her mouth.  She's not the laziest stew ever but one of the hardest working you ever seen?  Come on.

So Delores. on her FB, checked into a resort on Feb 29 and MArch 3...same one in St John's. Was that night before and night after charter? If so, the charter was 2 nights. So looks like they get to stay?

There's no way Lee is going to try to dock that boat at night.  Then what?  Not feed them the next day?  If anything, he'll wait until the morning, call to make sure there's space available, get everything ready and head out - they would lose a day of their trip at most. 

She's out of line and all but Lee will get over his ego and finish, then stand in the lineup at the end with his hand out like a good boy.

What a pointless woman.

[S08.E10: Steamy Vibes]

She's the 6th listed on the preference sheets and we all know they don't pay full price, yet she's STILL throwing out the "I have paid a lot of money" line.  Bitch paid a few grand...tops.  Get your drunken fat ass out of the water.

I probably paid more for my last Disney vacation but you don't see me getting drunk and jumping in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.  I asked Rey for her number and asked Chewie if he ever shaved his junk for his wife but that's harmless fun.

[S08.E08: No Way Rosé]

Since they showed the names of the harbor and the general area where they anchored, I looked them up.  It's about a 22-24 mile cruise depending on their path around the island.  That's about twice as far as one I looked up from last season of BDM.

I think they always screw with timelines.  I find it hard to believe that they have a "real" meeting just a few hours before guests come on board to discuss the guest needs.  

On the last season of BDM, they finally put some timestamps on the preference sheet meeting - it was 2 days before.  A provisioning company (or some other supply company) can get almost anything, even rainbow unicorn floats, in that time.  But that means either they have several days of downtime or she flipped out and came back before even the last charter happened.

They make it look like they had the meeting, then she freaked out and left 16 hours before the charter.  If she stayed, it would mean that she needed to make the provision list overnight and the company would have to fulfill and deliver everything at least an hour before 11:30am the next day.  I don't think that would happen and it definitely won't if she doesn't come back until the next day.

I have no clue what was going on there.  How could so many things be forgotten? 

Why was it so important to make one trip?  The beach was about 30 seconds away and half of the items they forgot could be brought over on a Jetski.  They shouldn't worry as much about the lists and planning and just get the guests there with covering and food on time and ferry any other items from the boat.

Also, where does one go to the bathroom on these beach picnics?

Her wallpaper choices would have me run screaming to the hill if I had to live in her houses but what annoys me way more is always asking people for advice and then ignoring everything those people say (usually her dad) and doing what she had planned all along. I mean why ask them in the first place?

Otherwise, the audience wouldn't know how smart she is.  End the end, everyone's supposed to agree that she was right all along.

Every remodel show does it.  Crazy as it sounds, the tacky Vegas remodelers are the only ones to show changes made at the buyer's request.

Two things that sickitate me.

I guess they're the replacements for upspeak and vocal fry.

What the F??  WHY???

There's rarely an answer to why, but I guess just to be outrageous for its own sake.  The high-end celebrities who charter yachts are pushing things further than Hef did at the Playboy mansion or maybe even Epstein (who didn't kill himself) did at the island.  It's a different market level - it's the mega-MEGA-yacht market.  The point is, they wouldn't stand for a no coke, no overnight guests, only drive the Sea-Doo around the boat nonsense. If Lee tried his "That's it, charter's over!" with them, they'd make a call to the charter company and Lee would be replaced and the guest would get an apology - and the charter company would send over some companions for the evening and beg for their continued business. 

BD isn't that.  BD is really for average people with a few bucks who want to have a memorable getaway.  That level seems to be a lot more restrictive or at least the rules are actually enforce for them.

Thinking about this more, it had to be staged.

Of all places, why would they ride around the ship?  Just happened that they had a drone or helicopter overhead shot as the jet skis orbited the yacht.  Looks cool and they probably had the guests do it for that shot.

So the other guests could have been swimming near the yacht while those on the jet skis could have been riding away from the ship.

Not sure if it's always the case, but in a previous season they made a point of telling the guests they could only go around the ship and only in one direction.  Maybe it's just for the show - some special liability.  I can't imagine Jay-Z or DiCaprio or any other such celebrity being given those restrictions.  There's a rumor that Sean Combs beheaded a live goat on a yacht, "Yachting" is the new term for high-end escort work and drugs are rampant on real charters - but you can't allow that on TV.

[S08.E01: There's No Place Like Home]

A few weeks on this show is 4 charters or more.  He'll need to be replaced before then.  If they bring back Rhylee, I'm out.

Lee went from getting drunk and passing out....er, I mean....falling in the shower and not being able to move to hugging everyone in one day.  On a boat where we all know maritime law forbids the use of any medication.  Especially one strong enough to work on rib pain

I think that if Christina had been paired with a really confident, out-going guy who found her attractive, we might have seen a very different Christina. Meaning, while Henry might seem kind, he clearly skews to the far end of the spectrum in terms of verbalizing what he is thinking and feeling. I think this kind of threw Christina for a loop, and led to her making bad decisions in she acted.

As is always the problem with this, a really confident, out-going man can do better than Christina.  And don't forget, we saw her awful behavior before she even met Henry.

So Malaria and/or Sandy, Queens of Maritime Law, said that anything that alters your state of awareness is forbidden. What about all the alcohol this bunch of drunks pour down their gullets when they have a night off?  Even if they’re between charters, there could be an emergency on board. What happens then?  Are Malaria’s superpowers immune to alcohol?  Will she save the boat from incarceration? 

Jess, shut the fuck up. You’re a moron. 

Post of the decade!!

What about the coke Malia was supposedly doing on the nights out?  Or last season when the guys were drunk and not responding to an alarm?

When Captain Lee was on WWHL a few weeks ago Andy asked him about a crew member having prescription meds. on board. He sated that he had no problem with this if it was prescribed by a physician for the crew member. He went on to say that it as would be far worse to withhold meds from someone who needs them and that it wasn't his call as he wasn't a doctor. Now we have Malia and Sandy saying that you cannot work on a boat while taking Valium. Even Bugs said that was not correct but it needs to be logged in.  Why did Andy let Sandy get away with lying about the cabin assignments and also not questioning Malia and Sandy about how Malia came to be in possession of Hannah's Valium and CBD pen? Either Andy is a terrible moderator who can't remember to ask the questions that most viewers want answers for or he is trying real hard to protect Sandy and Malia. Probably both. 

Andy is a cokehead just trying to keep viewers/money/coke flowing.  He's hoping that everyone will forget or hate-watch by next season.  We'll see if he's right.  Sandy and Malia are his favs so he'll protect them as best he can.

Yes I have and I am sure that she got nasty comments but did anyone threaten to kill her over this? We know that she has a penchant for twisting the truth. 

Most of the Internet "death threats" turn out to be fake.  But it's instant sympathy so it's a widely used tactic from a cold, calculating mind.

Captain Sandy said that Hannah wouldn't be allowed on the ship even if she registered the Valium, because the ship can't have anyone on crew who could become incapacitated by the Valium. Is Captain Sandy making up her own Maritime Law ?

Yes.  The extended answer appears throughout this season's threads and the Sailing season threads.  We've looked up the relevant laws, ex crew members have weighed in and the same situation has come up in past seasons - from several angles, Sandy is lying.  It's not even part of the Bravo contracts.  And she changed her story several times.

Sandy is also trying to claim that ships can be "incarcerated" over "one joint", suggesting that the boat will be permanently seized over even a guest having anything vaguely illegal onboard.  But she's referring to an incident in US waters in the 80s during the war on drugs where the boat was suspected of having a large quantity of drugs on board (they probably dumped what they had) and the US authorities found a joint and used that as an excuse to thoroughly search the ship at a port.  A small fine was issued and the ship was released in hours.  Definitely a nuisance but nothing like what Sandy is suggesting.  And that ship was flagged as a drug runner.

I think the first episode of BD had an incidence where Lee turned the boat around like a grumpy parent over suspected coke on a shelf or something.  It was never confirmed as coke and looked like a staged event for cameras.  As if we're supposed to believe that rappers and russian mobsters and tech billionaires and other celebrities don't bring drugs on a yacht.
