FrancescaFiore, quick question: Are there actually any "necessary dicks?" LOL

100% agree with this. And she wasn't at all demeaning or belittling in the wording of her request. It was clearly noticeable, to me anyway, that she was taking great care to say what she said in a civil, non-offensive way. Didn't Paola and Russ have the same situation and same request from his mother?

Am I the only one who finds her facially ugly AF? That ugly ass, entitled, conceited, co-dependent, disrespectful, backstabbing personality of hers doesn't help. She's so masculine looking. How this girl can think as highly of herself as she clearly does boggles my mind. Every other word out of her mouth is that everything is "because I'm a model." I really do like Tumi and can totally see her being an amazing chief stew. Brittini without makeup is facially adorable with her dash of freckles. Kind of like a girl next door. But I find her body to be odd-shaped. I despise chef and Benny's piss-poor attitudes. He's totally abusing the death of his parents excuse for being such a disobedient delicate little flower. I'm sorry he lost them, but I honestly believe he was as insubordinate to higher-ups even before they passed. The guy just doesn't like to obey orders or follow instructions. He's said how he's only there to have a good time. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

I was noticing myself just how obtrusively ugly and mismatched it all was. Like the kind of stuff you buy for your teenage college kid for their first apartment OR the junk you hide away in one's finished basement game room. It's rugged enough to withstand a lot of physical abuse, and ugly dark enough to cover up tons of stains.

I absolutely cannot endure any episodes of Pillow Talk because it makes me crazy with all of the over-the-top, phony excitement about each episode they watch, with all of them claiming how much they "live" for Sunday nights. It's just so transparently fake AF. Really, the highlight of all the loser participants' week is watching other losers likewise embarrass themselves? Based upon the one or two episodes I did ever watch, I totally agree about Veronica making the show, with boring, lethargic Tim just being a sidekick. Veronica totally seems like a fun, great person. It's kind of sad that they broke up as a couple, though nice that they're still close because of her daughter. I had a former fiancee similarly torment me. We had flown to his hometown of Montreal, Canada to attend a wedding of a relative of his. We were in downtown Montreal sightseeing and hanging out when we got into a huge fight. My fiancee just walked away from me and didn't come back for more than two hours. I was so distraught, as I didn't even know the telephone number or address of his parents, who we were staying with in some suburb. This was back in 1993, so no cell phones to use. For the first hour after he left me there, I sat on a bench and cried. The second hour I started walking around trying to find I don't know what. I didn't know any French, and the majority of the people speak that, and some of them also English. I think I was hoping to come across a police officer to ask for help. That POS ex of mine finally popped up behind me after the second hour, telling me that he had been watching and following me for the entire time, and that he had never intended to leave me there on my own indefinitely. I totally believe he was masochistically enjoying watching me suffer. He totally was an abusive asshole on whom I'd had to call the cops twice during the 1 and a half year that we were together as a couple. We broke up for good shortly after returning from that trip. My point in comparing what happened to me with what it looks like Bile will be doing to Shaeeda, is that it IS such an EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE, as well as TERRIFYING thing to be left alone in another country like I was and she may be. I hope that she leaves him because of it.

Am I wrong, or was the bed that Kobe ultimately went to sleep on larger than the one Emily was on? Unless it just looked bigger because the room Emily was in looked like it was owned by a hoarder. No wonder Emily feels claustrophobic, LOL. If the other room's bed WAS bigger, they could have all slept in there together.

I think the only reason she decided to ultimately play along was because she saw the displeased look on Bilal's face when she at first refused. From what we've seen of Bilal's temperament thus far, and how he's treated as the golden child by his mother, sister, and even ex-wife, she's going to have a lifetime of caving in to Bilal's displeasure, or otherwise there'll be hell to pay. Next week's coming attractions clearly show what an even greater asshole he is than we've seen so far. I literally threw up in my own mouth when she called him, "My King".

Is he narcissistic enough to believe that if he stalls long enough, Shaeeda will become so enamored with American life with him in his God awful Mcmansion that she'll stop wanting children? I think this POS IS at that level of hubris.

Kare IS annoying, and likely IS ALSO a control freak, but she was RIGHT in this instance about not blowing 1/6th of their assets on a computer to be used as a toy by her imbecilic fiance. Guillermo is an asshat based on his "what's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine" selfish mentality re their finances. I'm positive he contributed nothing to the cost of the K-1 visa process, or for the air fare for Kara go to the DR to fly back with him or their air fares to the U.S. And of course he won't be able to work for however long that post-marriage process takes. There's absolutely nothing wrong with their sharing of Kara's computer, but no, this big crybaby wants to have his way, and he wants it now. That honeymoon phase of them finally being together in the U.S. didn't last very long, now did it? I broke up with a former fiancee because of a similar mentality. As a mostly always broke musician, I supported us both financially. I even paid his child support for his daughter. I also added him to all of my credit cards. Call me stupid. I deserve the title. What finally prompted me to break up with him was when one day I accidentally opened up a piece of mail from our bank. As it turns out, it wasn't for MY account with them. It seems my ex had opened his own separate bank account to deposit money that he was secretly receiving from his mother back in New York. At the time he was 38 or 39 years of age. So not only was he mooching off of me, but also, his mother was enabling him. I wonder how long Kara's patience will last with crybaby boy. I no longer like him. I feel like he's shown his true colors. Yes, Kara seems like a nag, but he's a mooching crybaby loser.

Oosala, thank you for your recollection of what it was she said. I KNEW she'd said something along those lines. Her undeserving conceit really irritates me. How she has such high esteem of herself boggles my mind. She's nothing more than a walking, talking sex blow-up doll. I had a friend in high school who was similarly endowed. When we would shower after coming back from the beach I could see what her breasts looked like minus a bathing suit top or bra. They were hanging down to her belly button. And that was when we were only 16-17 years of age. She even slept in what she called a night bra. High school age boys were always only attracted to her because of that. She was a true butter face who ultimately got a nose job our senior year, which only ever so slightly improved her still not pretty face. I am not so blessed in that way, and at that age always felt sad about the way guys at that age were nothing more than dogs in heat. However, the moment I entered college the tables turned. For some odd reason the same boys that never looked twice at me in high school were trying to pick me up at the disco I used to regularly go to back in the day. It's not that I didn't have any guys at all who liked me in high school. It's just that more guys than not were more interested in bigger breasts. It's weird how instantly entering college seemed to mature them. My ex-husband sabotaged my getting breast implants when I was in my late 20s. He was an attorney. When we had my consultation with my plastic surgeon before the procedure, and when I went to get pre-op tests done, he made a point of bringing up the fact that did medical malpractice. Surprise, surprise when I got notified by my doctor's office that they would NOT be doing the procedure because my blood wasn't clotting fast enough and they had concerns that I would bleed out on the table. My husband always told me, from the day we first were intimate until near the end of our relationship, that he was a leg man and loved me exactly as I was, all 5'10" of me, with most of my height being in my super-long legs. I never looked into breast implants again after that.

Touche, Mr. Buhbye!

A face only a mother could love!

And what's really scary to me was her "my king" ring. The hair on my head and arms literally stood on edge when I heard that. Why oh why is this woman so desperate? And why oh why, if you are desperate, would you make this thing your chosen person?

Respectfully, I find him more not than hot. And if we're talking "booby prize" then yes, she's a "winner, winner, chicken dinner."

The bigger, fatter sister in green showed up with a sour puss on her face, and left the same way. Two miserable women. On the other hand, Ari and her ugly mug = another miserable woman. This is a no-win situation. They're all detestable. Bini's a pathetic little mouse to not have told his friends or family that he was leaving for Amurica in three days. I would never find someone that spineless and timid appealing. I wonder if Bini will now be able to have visitation and some form of custody of his other son with his first wife now that he's about to become an Amurican.

If you look up the word "bland" in the dictionary, a photo of Bilal's McMansion will appear.

Exactly. Emily is trying to seduce Kobe, and she thinks that nagging him about finances at their first "romantic" meal together is the way to go about it? And did she say something along the lines of, "This is the best restaurant in town," or, "I love this restaurant?", because that place looked like nothing fancier than a Denny's.

Did I watch a different episode from everyone else, because Bilbo and Shaeeda WERE on what I was watching? He remains a POS in my opinion. Shaeeda's relief and happiness at what was her "real" home was on the one hand touching, and on the other hand set off gold digging vibes. I really want to believe that she's a good person who's been bamboozled by an asshole named Bilbo. I just fluctuate back and forth with her being a sincere, nice person and a gold digger.

I'm very late to the game with regards to posting about this episode, but here goes. Whoever it was that previously said that Mohammed looks like an Egyptian version of Tim (of Tim and ???Veronica??? on Pillow Talk) was absolutely on the money. I cannot unsee it. Meanwhile, I already hate this guy. He's solely in it for the green card. WTF with him wanting Yve to "mother" him??? And even more WTF about his inappropriate comments that she's failed him and he's annoyed with her that she didn't have a bidet ready and waiting for him??? This guy has got to go before Yve hitches her wagon to him. Sadly, I don't think she'll ever see him for the love bombing love rat that he is. I feel so sorry for her and what's likely in store for her as long as this POS is in her life. Miona is definitely Anfisa level of awful. Jibri is also awful in his own way. Not an offensive way, but a super-annoying way. When he said he "extra", all I could say was, "Amen to that," and, "That's the understatement of the century." There was absolutely nothing wrong with the manner in which his mother laid down the rules. It was in a non-confrontational way. The only problem that I DO have with it is that maybe she should have waited until the next day or so to lay down the rules of the house. After all the traveling that Miona did that day, she was probably exhausted, and would be more receptive at a later time to hear what Jibri's mom and dad expected of them. To Mioni's credit (and this may probably will be the only time I have anything nice to say about her, she was respectful in how she responded to what the mom had to say. Jibri was the one to act up and behave rudely to his mom, with the rolling of his eyes, or whatever facial expression he had that his mom seems all too familiar with when dealing with him. Mioni's demands to be out of there in three months' time are ridiculous, and even more ridiculous are her telling Jibri that they have to buy a house and get away from his parents ASAP. What type of money does she have that she'll be contributing to that? None probably, which is why it's so easy to spend someone else's money - in this case Jibri's. I have a feeling though that he has nothing whatsoever saved up and is literally starting from zero at this point going forward. If he lied to her about his assets and financial means, it's on him if this gold digging relationship goes sour. Mioni may truly love him, but what she loves more is the idea of what he is - a successful musician who will take her to LA now. I really believe that, like Anfisa, she will bolt on him if he doesn't come through. The question is, will she bide her time until they're married and she has whatever documentation she needs in order to stay in the U.S. with or without him? Oh, and re Kobe and Emily. I totally see BOTH sides in this. On the one hand, he's already waited two years to see his son, so what's one more day, especially if you profess to love his mother and haven't seen her in two years either? I really don't view Emily as being maliciously selfish in this matter. She clearly is still head over heels in love with Kobe, and wants to reconnect with him on an emotional as well as physical level after two years of being apart. The big question is whether Kobe feels the same way about her, or only because he wants to be in his son's life. By the way, re his comment about her weight, he's one to talk. He's no longer underwear model material himself, by weight standards. I don't think that former six-pack exists anymore below layers of his weight gain. Funnily, when Emily teased Kobe with the lingerie in her purse, as compared with the lingerie she was showing to her sister before leaving to pick Kobe up at the airport, all of which seemed way too small for her to wear, the lingerie in her purse was definitely more her size (as I previously referred to the lingerie she'd need was "Shallow Hal" level of lingerie.

My dear late husband and I always used to say, "That's why it's called work. It's NOT Disneyland!"

Asshole meet asshole. Line cook "Chef" Ryan is pulling an Adam. Now if only Ryan could meet up with a huge branch or two on one of the islands or beaches, that would make my day complete.

I came to this spin off rather late in its season. I follow the other Below Deck shows, but for some reason didn't have the correct debut date and am now binge catching up on all the episodes on On Demand. That swimsuit bottom of attention whore Magda's was completely inappropriate. I've never been a fan of thong bathing suit bottoms. People should be keeping their ass cheeks to themselves. If the female cast members are going to be participating in water activities with the guests, they should have one-piece bathing suit uniforms that they're required to wear. And nothing like LYING to your soul mate by saying all you did was "salsa" dancing. What a dumb ass. Once these episodes air her boyfriend is going to see her stripper twerking and grinding up on another man's genitals. Jamie is the pseudo bosun. In my mind he's not an actual bosun, because he's yet to step up and do the job that a true bosun does. This guy's quite a job/career hopper. He strikes me as so young to have had as many careers as he has. It's not like he was job hopping from one e.g. dishwasher/cashier job at multiple different restaurants. He's had actual careers that he's changed so many times. He boasts about running training programs as a police officer, yet he likewise strikes me as too timid (I don't know if that's the proper word) to be the effective bosun that Jason requires. At this juncture it's a toss up for me as to who the most annoying, unlikable crew member is. I have it as being between cry baby, whiny, disrespectful Benny and bullying, egotistical, narcissistic asshole chef Ryan. The winners are hands down, definitely Captain Jason and lovely, elegant Tumi. Damn, this captain is easy on the eyes, and admirable for his persona as well as a doting daddy on his little daughter as well as how he's acknowledging that there are other things at work in Benny's life that are probably making him the way he is. With regard to Aesha, I liked her on her other Below Deck season, and still do like her as a human being. She may even be a competent chief stew. I don't know yet as I'm only four episodes in. But that voice of hers makes me cringe. She's so difficult to listen to that the annoyingness of her voice in my mind erases the content of whatever she's saying. The biggest thing about her management philosophy that I respectfully disagree with is wanting to be BFFs with her stews. That's never before worked, nor will it ever work. These cast members in authority positions need to learn that lesson. You don't have to be an asshole, but you also shouldn't be a suck up kiss ass doormat. She's sadly also not assertive enough or enough of an asshole to properly deal with the asshole chef. Kate certainly would have nipped his BS right in the bud. The captain unknowingly thinks the problem with her and Ryan is lack of communication, whereas he needs to be educated as to the actual problem, which is that Ryan's an absolute, unequivocal PIECE OF SHIT. Something I can't fathom is why both sets of charter guests (I'm only up to the first two groups of the season) seem to find his cooking out of this world, or those burgers he made "the best burgers ever". There's nothing that stands out to me with regards to any of the food he prepared for those first two groups of guests. Culver, though seemingly very nice, has a face that annoys me to death. His mouth and smile are disproportionately large for his face. It looks like a Jack-O-Lantern smile. However, if that's the worst I'm able to still say about him moving forward, then that makes him also a good crew member. I don't particularly care for the layout of this yacht. The master bedroom is disappointingly small, especially when compared with the luxuriously ginormous bedroom on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

They already are, LOL.

Thanks for that info, Frozendiva!

Didn't Ashley also say something like, "You're still in me?" 🤣
