Oh, this is fascinating. The article says that a man who had been a guest on the Mediteranean series was asked to put together a group of guests for an episode of BD Sailing. Yeah, it's this episode.

Why isn't Adam up making midnight snacks for the guests? Jenna should have been up helping Madison when the guests returned to the boat with their guests. Poor Madison was cooking for and waiting on all those drunks by herself. I am glad Parker was there to help her.
She said she was afraid to wake Adam up because he'd be really angry. In the flashes to the rooms, however, it seemed like he was being kept away by his roomie's snoring.

Thank you for both answers. Ralph's son and the Peterson brother make sense.
Especially since the sight of the two boys is what made Ralph go back and finish off the demon. If he didn't, the demon might somehow recover and another kid could die. Crushing his head made sure. It was good that they showed that doing it was emotionally tough for Ralph.

When the show started filming, he was in a relationship. Then he had the breakup. Couldn't plan for that.
His significant other must have been his sole means of support, despite his saying that he had a busy design business.
Again, based on what we've seen on the show, Geoffrey couldn't plan diddley squat. Someone mentioned it earlier, but he really needs a business partner. Someone to take care of the details and let him be free to design.

Question: what exactly is that holster thing he wears in the workroom? It looks like a combination posture corrector and underarm sweat collector.
It's to hold his sewing tools while he's working, like the pocketed aprons some other designers wear. But in Geoffrey's case, he had to go with something that less functional and more fitting into a very specific, somewhat dated, style he likes to rock. It's like the leather biker dude from the Village People decided to pursue a career in fashion.

Geoffrey said he closed his business to compete on PR. He took the Disney gig because he needed income to live on, which makes it understandable to me. He was the only one of the four who didn’t live with a partner who could help support him, materially and emotionally.
Isn't it reasonable to expect him to have thought about this before joining the show?

So it scratched Holly. I thought I would care but, eh oh well.
Did she get scratched by El Coco or was it from the falling rocks?
I'm glad that the demon didn't revert to it's "real" face when it was fading. It was much creepier to have it rifle through the past forms it had appropriated. I'm also glad the mystery of the lamps was solved. El Coco was just picky about what style he had in the cave. lol
I enjoyed this series. It combined the slow burn of a visceral crime mystery with Stephen King's more usual supernatural horror. The tying up of loose threads at the end was much more Dennis Lehane than King, but I appreciated closing the story and seeing Glory and the girls maybe kind of getting to move on a bit from here.

I don't even understand what the problem was, why wouldn't he facetime, or let her know about his FB account?
He's just a run of the mill teenage doofus.

Didn't seem like the judges really liked anybody's stuff.
Sick of Geoffrey's whimpering, and it's really discordant with his Mad Max personal style.
I agreed with the judges for the most part.
Victoria's work didn't improve with the application of both time and money. Why is she worried about her label before refining her style? Why put your brand name right across the model's crotch? Her range is really limited and I feel sorry for her husband, giving up his soccer career to drive a truck and support her career.
Sergio, oh bless his heart. The best piece was his third look, the geometric gown in the shades of grey. I wonder why this dress isn't blue, though, if it's supposed to be about melting water. The middle look COULD have been wonderful. I love the top, especially the sleeves. From the waist down, it was a hot mess. Why not pair that top with some skinny pants? It could be stunning. This lingerie look was well made, as always, but ill advised in just about every way they it could be. More than anything, it looked like a badly done homage to naughty 1940's pegnoirs.
Geoffrey is a fool. He made the conscious decision to work on the Disney project without planning out how he's create his collection. His home visit with Christian, Geoffrey should have been embarrassed. Now he's wandering around on the verge of tears. Suck it up, you did this to yourself. Figure it out. There were some neat ideas here and there in his collection that could have been wonderful if he'd put the time and effort into it. As it stands, his outfits look like something alien ambassadors or love interests would wear in science fiction TV shows.
Based on what we've seen thus far of the collections, Nancy should be the winner of this season by a mile. I love the liquid metal dresses. The mauve dress was spectacular on the model. I was surprised by the cowl. I thought when it was on the hanger that it'd be a shoulder thing, like she's made before. I agree with the judges that the dress is better without it. I also hope she leaves the wine purse out of the show. She got to show it to the judges, it was a fun little point. Don't put it on the runway. I love that she designed a gown for a model in a wheelchair. Nancy's looks were gorgeous and well made.
Overall, I'm very happy that the four finalists are nice people by and large. Egos, sure. Overly dramatic, for sure. But really they're nice people.

My random thought: I don't like the name Paget. I thought I would get used to it, but no.
I especially don't like the way Ciara says it. Neither of them is bright, but she seems in particular to have maturity or socialization problems.
Jenna and Adam are just gross together.
All that said, this series is still better than the one that just completed in Thailand. I really like the captain and engineer. They're both fairly normal and understand the business they're in. I don't get why stews and deckhands consistently across all the various Below Deck seasons/series decide that the work they've signed up to do is somehow a burden or beneath them. Yes, you DO have to do laundry. It's part of the job.

Did they have portable flash lights back in the day?
Common enough to give to kids to play with?
Yes, flashlights were invented back in the late 1800's. The family shown looked to have a good sized farm. It's not unreasonable that they'd have some flashlights on hand for checking the barn or other areas at night.

I was a bit distracted at the very beginning and it actually took me about 2 thirds of the way through the episode to clue in to the fact that the two boys getting lost in the cave was a flashback. I thought the writers were just throwing additional vulnerable people into the mix of the finale. I got all confused by the period cars and clothing of the people in the search party!
The same for me. The boys clothes could have been from most any time. It was when we started seeing vehicles that I finally caught on. One vintage vehicle, ok, a bunch of them and it has to either be a flash back or a car show.
The boys being lost are the reason why the Bear Cave is closed in current times and why only the old timers know about it. Are the scratches on the wall really from a bear or are they from the demon? With all those shots with a black screen, more than one of the characters could be dead. It can't be Holly since she's the lead and you know she's going to end up finding the demon. The others are a crap shoot. I think Ralph and Yunis might make it since they're essentially stand-ins for reason and faith in the discussions. Everyone else is potentially wearing a red uniform and beaming down to a planet.

Cashey needs psychiatric help, even by the scale of this show.
DeJohn is a sweet man who owns his own business. I hope he tries the traditional matchmaking method. Dress up in a nice suit, go to church, and let the aunties fix him up.

I would suspect (although I am definitely not a sailor) that the lines have to be tied off in certain order to make sure that the boat is pulled into dock properly and will not veer off in the wrong direction - plus an inappropriately done line could snap and injure someone either on the vessel or on the dock.
You're right. Depending on your technique, lines are tied off in a certain order so that the boat can be drawn the appropriate distance from the dock. Whether you are tied up along side a dock, or stern in as this boat seems to do often, you have the bow and stern line then some combination of spring lines (run at a sharp angle to the boat). The combination depends on how long you're going to be at the dock and what kind of dock or slip it is. The goal is to hold the boat in place in a way that it's not going to whack against the dock. If you tie it up right, your fenders (the balloon looking things) won't get mashed between your boat and the dock.

Agree on all the reds - they all chose the same horrible red. What is up with that color. It was almost pink on my screen. Scout said she wanted some red, to reflect her Chinese heritage, but I didn't think she said all red. Not that all red is bad, but that I didn't think Marquise was as limited to all red as some of the others whose clients did request all/mostly red.
When Scout said red for China, my mind when immediately to a bold scarlet red not the pink-ish color. That would have been a more grown up looking color, too.

Adam annoyed that a nursing mom has dairy restrictions? But of course he is. No semblance of the realization all of that stuff passes onto the baby and could make the belly upset. That said, I thought a one month old on a yacht was stupid, did not make good TV, and I was annoyed at the crying, and I can choose to turn off the TV set.
I'm not a fan of Adam's, although he's a better cook than several of the other chefs we've seen on the show...when he's in a decent mood and not hormone addled.
I think the guests could have let the company/boat know about the new dietary restrictions. It sounds like they'd booked a long while ago, then updated to say that the baby would be coming. It'd have been easy enough just to pass along the new dietary requirements.

The show continues its annoyingly slow pace to stretch this thing out to as many episodes as possible. I’ve never seen so many scenes of so many people talking in cars for such an extended period of time with the end result having absolutely no effect on the story.
It's kind of a Stephen King thing. Have you read The Stand? Holy guacamole. I actually enjoy the slower pace. It lets you get to know the place and people a bit and ratchets up the creepiness when terrible things start to happen.

In my head, I’m yelling “Stranger danger!”
I think the boy was set up as being so focused on the caves and bones that he'd sort of let other things slip. His sister had NOT. That was some world class and highly appropriate yelling she did.
The scene in the car between Sablo (Ga Bureau of Investigation) and Andy (security guy, Holly's beau) was good. I've been suspecting that they both might be more than they seem or maybe less. Sablo is surprisingly open to the idea of a demon, which is kind of explained by his being an ethnic Catholic. My whole family is various versions of ethnic Catholic which makes me a little suspicious of his openness. I'm suspicious of Andy since he was rather quickly willing to go off on an adventure with Holly after only having met her and slept with her the once. Doesn't he have responsibilities at home or work? The scene in the car played on my suspicions of them both, but left me thinking that they're both probably pretty much what/who they appear to be.

I'm not quite sure what to think of the season so far. I find the idea of the sailing yacht interesting, but I feel like the show itself is kind of boring. Everyone is acting too well adjusted, there are no drunken brawls and the bitchiness level is fairly low. Maybe things will pick up as the season continues.
I like the change, to be honest. It'd be nice to get a view of a functional team rather than a collection of people most of whom couldn't hold down a job away from the show.

This was the first different scenario in a while. BJ was really BJ, but exaggerated his wealth and social standing, which made him embarrassed to meet her. Which led to a whole slew of lies. Dude, just tell the truth and you might have had a long term friend.
It was nice to have one where the catfish wasn't a sociopath trying to get money out of a sad and lonely person. Still, BJ needs to learn a life lesson...and he's not a kid...but I suspect that he won't.

Why the heck would Adam think “vegan guests” = “vegan panna cotta”? There must be like a thousand other desserts that would be easier to make vegan than a dish of gelatined cream.
I also wondered why he couldn't have substituted a plant based gelling agent like agar for the usual animal based one.
That said, he rose to the occasion and heard only a little bit of drunken complaints. And he didn't sneak in any ingredients that the guests stated they didn't want, like he's done in past seasons.
The stews seem nice enough and willing to learn. The happy couple could use a bit of counseling.

He also said that quitting drinking had been easy. Yeah, that's never been put to the test in a bar or disco I'm sure.
Ashton was clearly coached as to how to apologize. He was reciting. Kevin had been obviously told to apologize too, although he didn't have text down. Both, along with their bru buds, went right off script as soon as they were questioned a bit. Pound sand, the whole bunch of you.
Two nice points: Courtney is not going to be one of those women who take guys back who mistreat them. She really seems to have learned with lesson regarding Brian. I was also glad to hear Rhylee's final comment about how she knows her temper hasn't served her well. She was goaded left and right this season by some rotten guys. Hopefully, she can use the experience to help her in less extreme situations.
Ashton was, to the end, pitiful. He was trying to equate his actions all season to Kate chucking the pants on the floor. If he's only slipped up once or twice, maybe, but he was just trying to divert attention from himself. He's a sad, little creature.

S08.E10: Gemini & Myranda
in Catfish [V]
Looked like massive acne scarring. His family should have taken him to a dermatologist. He should probably go now, as a matter of fact.
