  1. They're giving Terry's family enough attention, showing how terrible it is for his wife and kids with everyone apparently taking out their anger over the murder on them. The investigator is interesting. I keep thinking that she's on the autism spectrum, but given that she was tested so thoroughly and that this is from a Stephen King story it seems more like she has a sensitivity to something supernatural. She's investigating backwards and we're seeing the demon or whatever it is working it's way forwards. I'm not clear why the strip club owner didn't end up with a doppleganger after Terry scratched him. Maybe the demon didn't find him useful somehow. I think we're seeing the process of the nasty detective's doppleganger being made. I can see why the demon needed a deer to eat, but what's with all the lights?
  2. Nancy would have been safe if she's have skipped that coat or turned it into a shorter jacket. The pants were neat. The blouse was certainly nothing new or innovative but it looked nice with the pants.
  3. A lot of women make excuses for men who treat them badly, even going back to abusers again and again. I think Caroline could use some therapy, but that doesn't mean that Ashton didn't do exactly what she says he did.
  4. Sergio really seemed shaken that he was safe this week. I thought his dress was quite pretty, maybe not worth the dramatic reveal though. I suspect his problem was that he made a lovely dress but didn't embrace any of the zaniness. That dress could have been made with pretty much any color or pattern of fabric.
  5. I'm surprised that the judges haven't called Victoria out for making variations on the same thing each week, especially since the top this week had the same cut out as the top last week. Elaine did point out that Victoria has a very narrow lane in which she excels. Maybe that's a nice way of saying she can sew but is a one trick pony in terms of design. I really thought she should have gone home this week rather than Marquise, but she's very good at sewing and this week's top showed his limitation regarding construction. None of the outfits this week wow'ed me. It seemed like a whole bunch of safe designs. In the intro, they compared Ashley Longshore to Andy Warhol. I don't think she's comparable to him. She's more of what you'd get if John Waters had been born female into a wealthy Southern family and been forced to join the Junior League.
  6. They should have played the song Papa Was a Rolling Stone during this episode. That man sounds like he is a piece of work. The one sister is named Dajanay, which is pronounced just like the French word for lunch (le déjeuner). This was a little bit confusing. I wonder where her Mom got the name?
  7. I saw that Ashton is trying to do a "Oh, I'm better now" spin on things. Have the other "bru" boys spoken out since these episodes aired? I'm hoping that Tanner's Mom saw him doing things like laughing at the crew table and recognized it for what it was.
  8. Did you catch the part of the after interviews where Ashton is discussing misogyny with Kevin sitting next to him? Ashton said that differences between men and women are like segregation. It's best when you just don't point it out. Best when you just don't point out SEGREGATION.
  9. To me, it looked like a cheap, rushed offspring of what he did last week. Last week's outfit was tailored and looked well made. This one looked rather random, like he'd sewed the chest area, then just sort of heaped fabric around her hips and legs and called it a day.
  10. Rhylee does help out with indoor tasks. We've seen her doing laundry, as well as the various ways the outdoor folks pitch in with the kitchen when needed. She didn't appear to have any problems with or when doing laundry or the other tasks.
  11. If pushed, Nancy could have claimed those plaids were reflective of Scottish heritage or something. Or maybe New England preppie. There are stories she could have created. We really didn't get to hear her on the runway pitch it, though. I like both Delvin and Shavi, although both had problems this week. They're more talented and interesting than Sergio by far.
  12. He didn't make an effective statement. You couldn't read the names on the dress. Then it was a butt ugly dress, which further dragged his attempt at a statement down. That cut out in the front was probably an attempt to make it "fashion foward" (whatever that means) but it ended up looking like he ran short of the ruffle fabric. How long is he going to skate by? Either of the other two men with him in the bottom have produced better dresses this season than Sergio. They should have stayed. I was happy with a win by either Dayoung or Chelsey. Both did a great job of meeting the goal of the challenge and in doing something interesting and personal. Chelsey's letter jacket coat was fun and young and would have a strong niche audience. It reminded me of Beyonce's salute to HBCU's at Coachella in 2018. Classic made hip. Dayoung's jacket was gorgeous, both in her choice of fabric and in the design and fit. It will have a strong audience, too. I'd buy that and wear the heck out of it. Over a dress. Over skinny black pants. Heck, over a pair of jeans. I'd live in that jacket. I see the letter jacket coat is for sale today $385. A bit expensive maybe? I hope Dayoung's jacket is the fan favorite and it up for sale, too. I wouldn't pay that much, though. No, the jacket isn't derived from a religious or otherwise sacred design. Nothing about it insults or degrades the culture from which it comes. The wearer wouldn't be trying to pretend to be Korean.
  13. Terry's work on the woman with the MRSA destroyed breasts was outstanding this week. She's always going to have scars, but that was a massive improvement. Lesson of the week, once again, don't have bargain surgery in other countries. Paul did a great job on the lady with the botched Armenian nose, as usually. I thought she looked lovely before any surgery (also as usual). And again...I wish they wouldn't show the surgery addicts. Just direct them each to a psychiatrist.
  14. You can still see potential problems with the lines this season. They just wing them anywhere as they bring them in. That's sloppiness and their general idiocy is how you end up stepping into the middle of a loop of line AGAIN. The Bru's bitch about Rhylee's knot tying, but if you watch carefully, she's much better at line management and stowing. The Bru's set that bar fairly low, however.
  15. It was glorious to see Ashton's shock when Capt Lee didn't go along his plan. Not only wasn't Rhylee fired, Lee told Ashton HE needed to improve as a manager. Ashton needs more shocks like that in his life. At first, it seemed like Ashton was going to try to be civil to Rhylee. They did fine tying up the boat but soon enough he was shooting verbal daggers at her. Yeah, that's awesome, Ashton. Insult her as you're pulling away from the Valor to ensure your sad little ego is polished by getting the last word. This has to be his last season. He hasn't posted anything on Twitter since early December, has he?
  16. There's probably one or more excellent reasons that she isn't currently using her college education. Primary among those, and related to her problems on the boat, is that she still has a whole lot of growing up to do.
  17. You're absolutely right. Capt Lee should have considered that his brand new supervisor may need some help in managing people. That's what happens in an effective workplace. Instead, he wants the chief bosun and chief stew to run their departments and let him run the boat, only hearing about major issues or things that involve coordination on ship location and so forth. That's fine if you have two experienced supervisors in whom you can have confidence. Lee failed by placing confidence in Ashton when it hadn't yet been earned.
  18. It seemed like this group of guests decided to give Kevin some specific challenges ahead of time to test him. Who goes to Thailand and insists on matzo ball soup? The couple with all the dietary requirements said no dairy, but then at then end of their paragraph they said "Ooooh a little dairy in desserts is ok!". As much as I dislike Kevin, these folks were out to torque him from the beginning for their own amusement.
  19. Someone who orders steak well done isn't going to be put off by a bit of char on french toast. It did seem like his and his wife were a little jealous of the seafood dishes that were being presented to the other guests at the dinner. "Here will have a scallop that has been...(insert long and intricate description of dish). And for you. Beef." He's also in a position of authority this year which has really highlighted his problems.
  20. AND....they all know they’re being filmed.
  21. There's no chance of the deck environment changing either since the chief bosun is a part of the problem himself.
  22. Agreed. I think there's a good reason that this bunch isn't making a whole lot more money in other parts of the yacht industry or on commercial vessels.
  23. Part of the issue is that you have a predictable aspect of water height, which is tide driven by lunar and solar gravitational pull plus the influences of basin shape, water depth, etc. Those are the predictions that come out in tide tables, guide books, and on apps. Local conditions can throw a serious monkey wrench in that, depending on where you are. Wind is a particular issue. If the wind blows from a certain direction, it can dramatically and quickly drop the water level along a shoreline. Conversely, it can also pile water up against a shore and make a beach disappear. You can also see the tidal signature overwhelmed by rain/river runoff events. Freshwater inflow events would be significant more so along a larger land mass than these particular islands, where you have rivers that drain large areas or during an event like a slow moving and very wet hurricane/typhoon. Depending on the shape of your shoreline/bay/basin, the water can come up or go down and stay that way for days or event a couple of weeks if a weather pattern is persistent. In other places, the signature of the tide is strong enough that wind rarely if ever overwhelms it except in the case of major storms.
  24. He also knows her usual range of behavior and quality of work. He can trust her and when she screws up he tells her and she listens to him.
  25. The knot thing drove me crazy. They called them her "fishing knots". What we saw were standard ways to deal with lines. The issue is that the boys have only a very, very narrow range of experience on boats and only know one or two knots. It's also not really that difficult to figure out how to undo what she tied. Mostly, you pull on one line.
