I like Mayans more than SOA, largely because they focus more on club dynamics and the star crossed lovers crud is much much less. I hated Jax and Tara with a passion. The couples on this show are kept more at arm's length. Well, except for Emily and Miguel and they can be highly annoying particularly during their tete-a-tetes out by the pool.

Watch Logan's face at the end. He's not angry at Kendall. He doesn't explode as he'd done so many other times. He's watching the game unfold that he laid out.

Naw, my money is on Logan having set this up. He knew that the board didn't want his head, so he forced them into taking it. Shiv can now step in and be the "new face, new era, new company" and the Roys still control everything.

I'm not certain at this point what a decent defense is. I'm also not sure what constitutes substance at this point, either. There are no clues in the above story block. There's only a few people left who are active. Someone gave me protection last night, I'd like to think because I don't seem like a big bad. Someone killed a hero last night. Wasn't me. I haven't killed a hero at all. Come to think of it, I haven't killed a villain either, but I did try to vote in the process a couple of times. I wasn't trying to be cute when I thanked the people who gave me some pointers either through direct comments or by my watching what they do. I mean that. If that's cute, damn it I'm cuter than one of those flat faced Japanese cats trying to fit into a box. LOL Nothing I can say at this point will change your mind, I'm sure. I'm going to stand on the gunwales of the boat, try to make sure my sword is pointing in the right direction and enjoy the heck out of this.

While I have the chance, I'd like to thank my guardian angel whomever you may be. It's a nice feeling!

I would suspect that the owners/managers of some the more expensive boats would prefer staff with more discretion than to be appearing drunk or talking trash about guests on a reality show.

I still remain confused as to what's going on but will swashbuckle until the end! Argh!

The kitchen on this boat really does appear to be a mess. Small, badly organized, and iffy equipment. He didn't have any real time to get used to the place or reorganize.

Miserable in bed doing nothing, while listening to the radio and hearing one of your subordinates take over your job and apparently do very well at it.

I’ve learned a lot, finally seeing some of the strategy. Thanks to all who have tutored me directly and indirectly. 😀

In part this is because he has a chief stew who does her job well and hasn't had problems in the past such as schtupping guests or deckhands. Or having a multi day panic attack because she couldn't control who was dating whom on the boat. Kate takes no crap off of her staff. Lee takes none off of his. They're a good team. Capt Lee would have zero tolerance for Hannah.

Hannah and her staff would be incapable of decorating a table if they took those glass pebbles away from them and banned balloons and streamers from the boat. Oh, let's put out a martini glass with cheap beads in it! Oooo la la! It's like they're decorating tables for budget prom. Honestly, it's not that hard. They should have boxes of reusable materials (in addition to or other than those glass pebbles). Maybe even a series of go-to set ups that they regularly put out. The guests change every few days. No one will know that the set up has been seen before. Sandy has her faults, but I'm really now seeing her issues with the inside staff. They're busy with socializing, hanging out, anything other than their jobs for way too much of the time. It's great they get along. Now get along and take care of the guests.

Not only that, but she doesn't even suspect that her father is in on it.

Congratulations on the first!

I really wish there were one or two actions in dependent of participation as it would add chaos but it’s not really fair.

I was trying to think about the clues rather than just jumping on the dog pile like I have in previous votes. Looks like I waited too long.

A question. Are there villainous abilities that a person could have that don’t require them to be active in the discussions? A sniper or whatever the pirate term for that might be? I see some names in the alive list that I don’t think I’ve seen a post from. Could a strategy be to nurse a beer in the corner while the active people knock each other off, maybe taking the occasion mysterious potshot?

It seems like there isn’t the second group of villains then?

Oh sweetie, we HAVE to party together sometime

Part of this sort of thing is because many people have days of the week that vary due to requirements of work or family. Deaja may have had a bunch of meetings that day or was dealing with a plumber etc. Sometimes life interferes with a person's ability to get on line or research clues.

The clients tend to be fairly wasted by dinner time. "White glove" service could be really watered down. Wear gloves. Have a server for each guest. Come into the dining area in a line, place the plates down at roughly the same time. That'd be enough to dazzle the clients on this boat.

Are you and Aquarian protecting each other? Do people make pacts or behind the scenes stuff?

You've been active, but haven't really put much forward in the way of potential clues.

I've had choreographed service at Emeril's restaurants in New Orleans. As you're sitting there chatting, a waiter comes quietly up behind each person at the table. The plates all come around you on the proper side and slide simultaneously into place in front of each diner. It's awesome. Whoosh! The meal arrives. Your main waiter is more of a conductor, giving little signals to the other staff keeping everyone operating together. The main waiter doesn't put plates down or pick used items up. Always to the side and the only one talking to you. It's awesome but has to take some practice.
