Exactly. And sometimes she seems like a child throwing a tantrum. I would think a great deal more maturity would be required for someone who captains a boat in Alaska or whatever it is that she does. She comes across as very immature. Her lack of impulse control is appalling.
And count me among those who got teary - several times - during this episode. The kindness they all showed Ashton, his attempt to refuse his share of the tip, etc. Lots of sweet moments in addition of course to the horror of what could have happened.
In a very early episode, Rhylee said she “co-captains” a boat in Alaska. Though we never heard her say it that way again (instead, it’s been, “I’m a captain”), I’ve not stopped wondering about the poor soul cursed with being her co-captain. If that person dares to watch this season, he or she must be rocking themselves in the fetal position to soothe the inevitable ptsd.

Awww, Ross and Ashton hug got me a little weepy.
Brent the camera guy pulled the black stern line off the cleat on the swim platform, thereby allowing the whole thing to loosen - and Ashton to come to the surface.
What I can’t understand is why Capt. Rhylee didn’t think to do that herself.

Wait am I the only one that noticed the rope around his ankle was slack all the way into the water? I'm not suggesting anyone is lying, I just don't understand how that was supposed to pull him in. Looked to me like the rope he was holding pulled him, not the one around his ankle?
Edited to add: clearly it eventually tightened because he has a mark there, but maybe my eyeballs just don't work properly today because I still think it looked slack on the deck.
So, it appears that the white tow line from the tender (which was taut) was attached to the black stern line (which still had some slack as it sat coiled in the swim platform). When Ashton’s foot got caught in the lines, it was the taut tow line that pulled him in - and the loose stern line followed. Hope that made sense.
Edited to add: This was all while the yacht was moving forward, away from the tender, to begin towing it. Also, fuck Laura and her “cutting corners” comment. There’s nothing about towing a tender that would be considered cutting corners. She and her misinformed criticisms can go anytime.

The 9/11 reference was something from a Family Guy episode--Lois is running for public office and is advised to just repeat phrases like "9/11" to whip up support. I understand it wasn't a random reference on Caroline's part, but I'm not sure how she figures it applies to her perceived situation. And, as noted, it pissed a lot of people off.
Twitter should have closed her account for her own good.
Rats! I should have known it was a Family Guy reference!! But yeah, I agree it still doesn’t apply to her grievance du jour.

I think there's definitely something not right going on with her, and in this episode we saw that even more. We've seen her outright lie, completely misrepresent the truth, and over-react, but I can't figure out if she's deliberately manipulative or if she truly has some kind of disorder that significantly distorts her perception of reality. My guess is that it's a combination of both, but she does seem to have a very vindictive streak and loves playing the role of victim to the point that it seems to satisfy some kind of need. I would steer very clear of her. Part of me feels sorry for her and hopes she gets help for her own sake, but I also wouldn't want to be alone with her because she does seem scary and apt to do anything.
Maybe they did this because she posted so much in such a short time? I don't know, but in any case the restriction is gone now.
Based on recent comments in her Twitter feed, enough people reported some of her tweets (she was getting all weird about 9/11, for example) and Twitter briefly suspended her account. Now that it’s back up, she’s back to the same nonsense (Chrissy Teigen is an enemy now, etc.).

I’ve never come across this before when clicking on a Twitter profile. Wasn’t the case just last night, but this morning apparently Caroline’s account is “temporarily restricted” due to unusual activity. You can still click through, but this is just weird.

This sheds a teeny bit more light on Dennis’s marital situation. Also, “Denny Shields” - very cool!

I think his kids are older, Chick (the one who called in to the reunion was of age, and the two other kids were end of high school at the time, iirc).
His wife released this statement: “We are all heartbroken. Dennis was, and will always be, the love of my life. His spirit lives on in our children. Please respect our family’s privacy at this time."
I’ve been thinking about this statement from his wife. She is clearly hurting too. I can’t even imagine what it will be like for her and Bethenny both to get through this grieving process, knowing the other exists. This is sad on so many levels.

It’s a tragedy if Bethenny didn’t know about Dennis’s alleged addiction, and this news came to her as a sudden shock. I certainly wouldn’t blame her for his ability to hide it.
And it’s a tragedy if she did know, and wasn’t able to prevent his death. I wouldn’t blame her for that, either.
Guess I’m saying, does it really matter whether she knew or not? Either way, Dennis has died, Bethenny is probably devastated, and I don’t feel like picking her apart right now. Not for this.

Here's why I still like Grocery Store Joe. I can't imagine him conjuring up faux tears in a campaign to become the next Bachelor. He didn't push himself into any conversations to get more face time. He didn't demand that any of the guys apologize for something that he deemed offensive to himself and to the sanctity of the Bachelor Nation. He isn't selling shit on Instagram. He just seemed to be chilling and enjoying life.
Also, his byline on his relatively new Twitter account says “[orange emoji] you glad I got a Twitter?”

Well, he did say "disrespectful" and "disingenuous" in the same sentence, so that immediately qualifies him because in Bachelorland he sounds like a genius.
I think the dummy actually said “disingenuine.” In Bachelorland that gets you extra credit!

This is incorrect. If she has a mental illness and medication would help alleviate her symptoms, she would be prescribed those medications. A lot of people are more familiar with the older idea of recovery that advocated for total abstinence. That is absolutely not the model or best practice now.
He's been sworn in. http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/southern-charm-star-craig-conover-laywer-sworn-in-to-south-carolina-bar-reaction
Thank you, @HunterHunted. Glad to hear it. But this whole concept of him becoming a “lawyer for hire”, where “it's kind of got to be a specialty firm where I can come in and close stuff off for people that can't do it themselves”, does sound a bit rich coming from a guy who can’t finish a pillow-stuffing project.
But I do wish him well.

I think I took a little too much pleasure in learning that Craig hasn’t been sworn in yet because he still hasn’t passed the character and fitness check. That’s a big deal. All that law school, all those loans, all that claiming he graduated and applied for the bar, all that pressure to come clean and actually graduate and sit for the bar, all that work to pass the bar...imagine if the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina then says, “Nope. You’re a lying liar who lies and will not become an officer of this Court.”

Did Luanne seriously brag that she works with her musical director Billy Stritch, who worked with Liza Minelli and...Che Guevara?

Maybe I just answered why Jean said it. But the personal perfume would be pretty cool.
I’m 99% sure that was a bottle of Dior’s Miss Dior with a “Miss Becca Blanc” label pasted over it. I wear that perfume and would know that bottle, with its trademark silver-bow cap, anywhere. Did Jean say he had it specially commissioned for Becca? Either he’s a bigger bullshitter than I thought, or those producers have done a number on him.

Becca says Garrett is "so handsome." Is he? because compared to the rest of the guys, I honestly think he's the least good-looking one left.
Mr. Flybutter took one glance at Garrett last night and said, “why’d they put a young Harvey Weinstein on the show?” I can’t unsee that now.

The only way Luann’s blackface would have been appropriate is if she was dressing up as Rachel Dolezal.

"Lauren, I can't imagine what's going through your head right now."
"Yeah, me neither."
Neither can anyone, honey. Neither can anyone.

Another one bites the dust. How many does that make now? The RH franchise, hell, reality shows in general, sure have a bad effect on a lot of marriages. Being under a microscope will do that to you though. You'd think that would deter people...
Perhaps the sort of women who go on reality shows are the sort of women that men end up wanting to leave. Takes a special type of person to think they're fabulous enough to make good television. And an extra special type of person to actually make good television. I don't know too many men who'd want to spend a lifetime with either kind...
Eta: Same goes in reverse, with self-absorbed men being plenty divorce-worthy too. Only used women in the example since we're talking about housewives.

I've seen a couple references to Jen's fantastic body. I think her body is actually is a bit odd. She holds herself very stiffly and every time I see her I get this image in my head of an elderly woman. It's not helped by her attitude, which also reminds me of someone elderly. I think that connection is because of how inflexible she is in her attitude. When I was younger I had thought that people holding themselves that way had bad arthritis. As I got older and looked at more people I realized that it was actually a body shape. I had a college friend with the same body and it struck me as unusual and further from what is considered an attractive norm. There's other things about how her body is made that put her into this body type but I cant really articulate it well. As I spend more time deaf it becomes harder to articulate the images I think in into words instead of sign.
I completely agree. She has a terribly hunched and stiff posture that makes her seem much older than she probably is. Also, her arms and legs are extra skinny in proportion to her body, with her arms in particular looking like they're attached at the front instead of the sides. And her legs bend outward at the knees sometimes.
She reminds me of Kermit the Frog.

If this is your kind of thing, then yeah, she's hot.

Those interchangeable assholes (I'd say "vagina-holes," but apparently one is better than the other) and their overbites can go to hell. Their catty tear-downs of Jack Stone and Tickle Monster were beyond obnoxious. Those guys - an attorney and a physician, respectively, not to mention two of the nicest guys this season - could kill more brain cells doing Wells's lemon drop shots than those two bitches could grow in a lifetime. And their calling anyone on this show "shallow whores" is pretty rich...
I thought Taylor was making me stabby, but Dumb and Dumberer over there take me to a new level of fury.
ETA: Watching them get rejected, storm out, and girl-throw scallops at the empty walkway was the highlight of BIP for me.

I know this is not popular and I may go to my corner of shame but <small voice> I like Whit. Sure he may have a friend named Renfield and be totally weird but I like him. Could be the small doses. If anyone wants to join me in my corner of shame I've got snacks.
I like him too. I have a soft spot for weird, awkward, smart people. And though he has proven he can be a jerk sometimes, it's often warranted, so I can usually forgive. As you said, maybe it's the small doses, but he can stay.
I'll bring the drinks.

I agree with the posters who have compared Bryan to Josh (of Andi and Josh). Both exude a lot of schmaltzy fakery. However, I do believe Bryan's schmaltz is actually genuine. While annoying, it comes from a good place.
Josh's schmaltz was an just attempt to cover up his douchebaggery. He was an ass.
Also, Bryan is smoking hot, while Josh was a sweating not.

S06.E11: Let Them Eat Chicken!
in Below Deck
· Edited by Flybutter
I get what you’re saying. And it’s true she’s a licensed captain regardless of her employment status. But believe it or not, becoming licensed only requires something like 360 hours of on-water working experience (whether as a stew, deckhand, first mate, or whatever), some references, an 11-day class, a written exam, and a background check and drug test. That’s for a large tonnage, inspected commercial boat captain’s license through the US Coast Guard. Not saying that all that isn’t damn hard, and I’m sure getting a job as a female captain (co- or not) in the Alaskan fishing industry makes it extra challenging. But Rhylee is 33 years old. Good that she has an achievement like that under her belt, but by that age, lots of hardworking people do. Which is why I wish she’d just shut up about it. And why I feel for anyone who has to work with someone as insufferable as she is.
Edited to add: If I sound dismissive about all this, it’s mainly because I can’t stand Rhylee and my bias is showing. :)
