    Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition also works  :)

     I went back and made a couple of additions and corrections, including yours.

    PaperTree, (below) absolutely,   I love a good one!

  2. WWII military slang....

    Fucked Up Beyond Any Repair 

    or

    Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition/All Reason

     .....which it would have been if they had any other charter guests than the ones they lucked into getting.  I can't believe the size of the tip they got but the guests seemed to enjoy everybody except Chandler.

    He took his entire crew back from the island, leaving interior to clean up the mess. He didn't even tell anyone the new plan captain came up with. 

     Didn't the Captain order the deck crew back?  I remember thinking that was odd when I heard him do it. But there's no way I can watch that shitshow again to verify my impression.

    ETA: OK, I  Went back and found the Captain's radio, at 32 minutes in......

     "Chandler, Chandler, Lee.........I want you and everybody else in the boats to head back now.....leave 'em (the guests) there on the beach, I'm sending vans to pick 'em up."

    When asked by Ross if they hould double check that nothing is... [garbled],  Chandler says "No, leave everything. Let's just get back."

     Chandler, I gave you every opportunity but you are a not your father, unless he’s also an arrogant asshole.

     I've been wondering if the father has been watching. Does he see his son as the inglorious fuckup that he is or is he one of those parents who supports their kid no matter what the truth is and only sees that those peons are not respecting his precious boy.

    It appeared to me that Caroline was radioing the crew about the broken glass. If so, I can’t fault her. It could also be editing monkies....

    Yeah, the editing on this was very wonky. Caroline DID radio about the glass. Where were the rest of the crew and why didn't  they take steps to protect the guests.   Granted the mess was hers, but first things first - protect the guests.  I can almost see the director telling the mom, "OK, now if you'll just run the kids up these stairs......"

    As opposed to Caroline, Rhylee IS being bullied and unfairly targeted by her boss. I don’t blame her for losing it with Chandler....

    Chandler has been riding Rhylee's butt since day one.  It's almost as if he wants her gone so he can get another "swinging dick"* on his crew.  I am sure that being the asshat misogynist that he is, in his mind women have no place on a deck crew.

    I get a special satisfaction knowing her having been a fishing boat captain must chap his hide bloody raw! 

    ETA:  Come to think of it that's probably why he's being so hard on her, to prove he's the better man. LOLOLOL (cough, hack, wheeze)

    * I'm still cracking up over the Captain's use of that phrase.

    they thought the towels and drinks were for after the event and so only transferred the people to the little boat. 

     I thought of that, almost added it to my comment. But didn't they pack beer as well?  Warm beer for after an event? Nyah.

  5. Wait!!!????  Wasn't that last week?  Oh yeah, it's squeezing out the last possible drop of fake "drama". Note - it's not drama if it drags on and on.  I know that's how reality TV works, but it seems especially egregious on this show, this season.

     I'm still waiting for the "man overboard" moment that was previewed weeks ago.

  6. OMG -  This show has gotten so preachy. I'm thinking maybe they should send it over to the Scifi channel since it has become such a fantasy.  Everything works out,  everyone is happy at the end, everything is resolved (in our favor), a place has been squeezed in for Super Professor, and Elizabeth gets a yummy treat. Whatever might be left over we know is still going to be kumbaya, 'cause you know, we are the Good Guys.

    The excursion crew was negligent in not offloading the supplies from the tender to the landing craft.  Chandler though could have directed them.......

    The crew packed the dry bags before the excursion.  The bags were on the deck of the tender, out in the open, not only easily seen but kind of hard not to trip over. What did they think they were there for, ballast?

     I don't tweet but I can't resist....

  8. There is an expectation of pampering, of having every need met without having to think about it. However, if the primary can call Kate to get picked up it would have been just as easy to call Kate and say, "Hey we need towels." So yeah, there is some responsibility but still, for what they are paying, the expectation is carefree  pampering.

    Oh Rhylee, Rhylee, Rhylee! I am fully on her team even as I see how she's irritating her fellow crewmates. Ashton tells her to start unloading toys but she thinks Chandler told her something different and she KNOWS Chandler will rip her from stem to stern if she makes the teeny tiniest of mistakes. 

    I notice Kate asked her to have towels ready when the guests returned and she was on it. She is willing and able to work hard and pitch in where and when asked but she is subject to irrational and unwarranted reaming from Chandler.

    Yes, this! I agree that Rhylee is difficult to work with. But in the end, she is very good with the guests and she is willing to work. While she might complain, she puts in the hours and effort. 

     I suspect Rhylee is trying to do her best but with Chandler being incompetent and such a misogynistic jerk she's pretty much blocked at every turn.  From the beginning she has tried to get direction and guidance from him and all she gets is crap.  She quickly learns that the smallest error earns more crap, so she starts asking questions, looking for clarification. Then she gets more crap for "attitude". 

     You can see this clearly when it came to putting out the water toys when she knew there was an excursion planned. I'd have been asking for clarification too!  Come to find out Chandler didn't even know about the excursion so his instructions to the crew were bogus.  How is it the bosun, the guy in charge of the deck crew, doesn't even know what the day's schedule is?

    Chandler knows she has captained fishing boats and that's probably very threatening to him. I'm not going to pass judgment on her until I see how she operates under a competent bosun.

    Chandler fucks up enough on his own and while the bosun is ultimately responsible for the crew, not unloading the dry bags reflects much more poorly on them than it does Chandler.

    True. BUT!!!!!! It reflects on his management (or lack of) skills.  I don't really think it was sabotage, but it did occur to me while watching the dry bags run back-and-forth on the little boat.

  11. Thanks, guys. So Carl has to have a very good idea if and when an idol might be played. I doubt that was the case last night. Everyone seemed pretty surprised when the idols started flying.

    Now Christian knows where he stands and can fight back.

    tempted to say "Oh and Jeff... that idol played on Angelina is null and void. BOOYAH!!" 

     I am still confused about exactly WHEN the nullifier must be played in the idol-playing process.

    It was such a small part of the story and the guests reacted in such a neutral way that it doesn’t appear to be worth a storyline.

    Except that it adds to  the Chandler's incompetence storyline, part of the build-up to a demotion or firing.

    ETA:  Even though their butts were on the line too, I wonder if there wasn't a little (maybe subconscious?) Chandler-related sabotage by the crew. Those bags were too obvious to be missed.

    It's not that they didn't bring the dry bags, it's that they didn't leave them.  The bags were loaded up with the guests, but not unloaded.

     I think you could see the dry bags in the tender as the deck crew cruised back-and-forth. The camera focused on the bags a couple of times.

    I appreciate that they didn't just toss them to a nanny. 

    Do we know if one of those 10 adults isn't a nanny?  I easily could see Bravo downplaying the presence of a nanny for dramatic effect.

    I just think it was strange that they just left the guests off on the beach without a single crew member along.  As far as I can remember there has always been at least one crew member with the guests on land excursions.

     

     Wasn't it a crew member who radioed the yacht that the guests were ready to leave because there were no towels and no water?  I think that was when Captain Lee made his "ass for dinner" comment.

     At this point I am faulting Captain Lee for these problems. He's known about the crew failings and has done nothing about them except to lecture the crew.  Of course the crew problems are going to get worse since he's doing nothing about them.

     Broken glass on a stairway and a child stepping into it? That's a lawsuit!  I'd be checking out the fine print in my Bravo contract for that one.

    Ultimately I wanted her in the jury.  I think Elizabeth will be a good host.

    Thank you so much for posting this link to the Ponderosa clip!  I always have the devil of a time finding it on the CBS site.

    Elizabeth looks like a wonderful person, someone I'd really enjoy knowing.

  18. LOL @ Captain's "going to eat some ass for dinner!"

    I'm tying my bib on for that! And dessert is going to be Chandler going off on the crew afterwards. 'Cause, ya know, they're making him look so bad.
