Bugsy is totally playing Alex. When she sat on his lap in the crew mess he raised his face up to her as if expecting a kiss, instead he got her shoulder in his face. She also wasn’t interested in flirting with him when she brought his cherry cup to him. The editing monkeys are really at work, and not just on eliminating Pete. That shot of Jess looking over the rail was from back when she was talking to Alex about Rob texting his ex, her hair is different. I have no doubt she saw what she thought was Aesha grabbing Rob’s bum, but she was probably behind them. Also, that table which hadn’t been cleared was from breakfast. Bugsy said Jess didn’t do it while she was gone which was earlier when the guests went into town. It was after 2 when Jess and Rob were talking on the bow and they showed Bugsy complaining about the table. Jess didn’t clean it when she should’ve, but those dirty dishes didn’t sit there as long as they’d have us think. Those same bowls with rolls in them from the table could be seen on the prep table when Tom was putting the cheese on the nachos so the table had been cleared earlier. The guests didn’t even use that table for their snack. You could also see the table only had the decor on it when Jess walked by to go talk to Rob before they left, which was way after breakfast. The guests were supposed to leave at 12 and they came back at 2. I feel sure Bugsy would have found out if they planned on having lunch in town or not. That whole “wake Tom from his break” was bs. When Tom called Bugs to say he was going on break he said to wake him if they need anything straightaway. Then when Bugs was told the guests were coming back and were hungry, she was setting the table we saw which hadn’t been cleaned. All we saw was her saying “copy” so she was probably only told they were awake and hungry. When she went to get Tom, she asked if he was happy with her serving what they’ve got up there for now. He was shown putting plastic wrap on salmon and other dishes and then covering it all with a cloth on the prep table, it was there when he was writing his break time on the board. That was breakfast Bugs woke him up for and he already had general things prepared, he was just waiting for egg orders. Later on, he obviously had more time than shown to make the snacks because the ladies changed their clothes before they ate. You can tell how much they’re cobbling footage together by noticing what’s on the prep table in the galley. Yes, I had time on my hands today. Was that Sandy ironing her own pants? I loved Aesha’s “...and a greyhoooouuuund!” when she was talking to Jess about the drink order. Her enthusiasm and desire to enjoy every moment is great.

Interesting how Bugs told Malia that Aesha “grabbed” Rob’s butt, and Malia immediately turned it into “smacked” and “slapped”. Hey Tom and Bugsy, if you don’t want guests sending food back why don’t you try reading the preference sheets. That’s on Bugs as much as Tom because she served the food, and is the chief stew. Just like both of them should have anticipated that guests would be hungry after a shopping excursion. Bugs is only cozying up to Alex now because the guests are flirting with him. Someone spoke to Pete!

I’m going to chime in on the lack of food too. That tapas dinner seemed really skimpy and there wasn’t even any dessert. He should also have snacks ready when they return from their excursion. Tom doesn’t know how to think on his feet or improvise if things don’t go according to plan. I noticed Malia gauging Tom’s temper-ature. After lunch was changed from 2.30 to 2, he must’ve whinged to her because she was in the kitchen asking him, “are you going to be okay for lunch at 2.00?”. What was she going to do if he wasn’t? Bugsy’s afraid of saying or doing anything to set Tom off.

It looked like she was eating Edamame. Even the camera didn’t like the disagreeable primary, Z, her eyes were closed in the picture they took with Rob. I noticed in the other group photo on deck, before their excursion, everyone else had their arms around each other but she was standing at the end with her arm by her side.

Maritime law states that if your crybaby chef boyfriend needs a fluffer, you go and fluff. To hell with the captain’s orders. I don’t know how Tom could get another gig after his “I don’t care about the guests” comment. As Bugsy said, food is the biggest influence on the tip. I hate it when people do what Tom did. In the time he wasted repeating to Sandy what she had said and explaining he couldn’t answer yes or no, etc, he could’ve said, hold on, opened the fridge door to see if the fish was frozen and told her the answer. He just wanted to argue. So we ended up with two toddler tantrums. Did I understand Malia right that she told Sandy she would leave if Tom walked? Well, bye!

It is Tom’s fault the way they were haphazardly stacked. Put bread in a basket or lay them in a row, you don’t make a toast tower. Aesha had barely moved the plate when the top ones fell over.

I have to admire Capt Interruptus for not giving two shits about having “woken up” Tom. I really wish she had been in the kitchen when he got there. How did he not know it was Sandy’s call when she was the one who came to get him? I didn’t need to see Tom’s teabag when he was getting out of the bunk.

You have to be a special kind of dick to make perpetually-happy Aesha cry. Condescending bastard. Annoying voice aside, there are times when Aesha’s enthusiasm makes me smile. This episode it was when the guest said it was her turn for a lesson. Her response was, “My turn? Yayyyyyyyy!” I don’t remember ever seeing the deck crew helping with the dishwashing as much as this season. Pete at the club! Pete at the van and there to assist Bugs when she fell! Pete walking back to the boat! Pete standing at the bow! Pete greeting the guests! Pete carrying luggage! Pete on the the tender! Pete playing frisbee! Pete back on the boat! Pete rinsing and drying dishes! Did I miss any?

Where did all Tom and Malia’s animosity towards Jess come from? Tom’s known Jess for maybe a week or so but he’s sure that she only likes Rob because he’s a model, and then he calls her a shallow motherf**cker. Nice mouth. Unlike Rob and Jess, Malia and Tom are well suited, they’re both dicks. I know Jess is drama, but Rob’s drama is just as bad with his “I feel broken” shit over a few weeks long relationship. He was the one who escalated things with the I love you. If Jess is shallow, Rob is an abyss. Lots of Pete this episode. It’s easier to notice if I’m not crocheting while I watch. He was there walking towards the tender with Aesha, helping the guests out of the tender, saying goodbye to the guests, at the tip meeting, walking to dinner beside Bugs, at dinner a couple times (sitting beside Aesha), walking to the cab, getting out of the cab, and standing around or dancing several times at the club. This is like a scavenger hunt. Got to make it fun somehow since I’m pretty much hate watching at this point.

Let’s not forget that the red glass stones used on the dinner table for the baseball theme had previously been used to decorate the bed in the master for Malia and Tom.

The table Jess set for breakfast was what I would expect on a luxury yacht, much more elegant than the overdone messes that Bugs makes. If I were eating at that table I would prefer not to have my food surrounded by a bunch of dollar store decorations which spend their time either collecting dust in a cabinet or sitting on a table collecting food particles, spit, spilled alcohol and whatever else. Not to mention the time it takes both setting the stuff out and brushing every little glass pebble back into a container could be better spent working on laundry. That neon party: What? Why do adults need a theme? How about the theme is a nice dinner. Like others have said, the table is so busy it takes away from the food. That table looked like a unicorn went to a child’s birthday party and then threw up. The face paint, tutus, hair bows and Minnie Mouse gloves did nothing to help. Bugsy’s “Tom’s gonna freak” remark makes me think he’s had worse freak outs than what we’ve seen. It’s a shame that stupidly-suggested, too-large bowl cover didn’t fall off just as Bugsy reached the top of the stairs. The bouncing metal sound would have lasted all the way down the steps and down the hall. It would have been like when Pip knocked the armor into the well in LOTR and it went on forever.

She’s as obnoxious as she was last time and her voice annoys me more than Aesha’s. I wonder if she’s angling for a Howives position, or their own show. The red glass marbles/sprinkles on the baseball-themed tablescape looked like blood spatter. Anybody else notice the mushroom cloud in this shot about halfway through the episode?

Malia (after upsetting the tray): Who gives me a glass tray of shrimp cocktail and the bottom of the glass is round? Your perfect chef boyfriend, that’s who. Ha! I think Malia is confusing HR with simple supervisory responsibilities a decent manager can handle.

Looks like Malia and Sandy are doubling down on the bad management practices. Rob calmly tells Malia he doesn’t appreciate being called a fucker and her response is “then don’t be a fucker”. In front of the captain. I doubt the amount of Febreze used on the boat could put a dent in the toxic atmosphere that Sandy has festering. Tom’s entitled attitude is ludicrous. He can’t even handle his own plating. And because the guests don’t want raw food they’re idiots who don’t understand poaching? Poor Tom, just a misunderstood perfect chef. Take a hike, sweetie. Tonight I heard Bugs say ‘billy dancer’ and ‘dickhands’. Shit season is right.

Are WWHL ratings so bad that they’re trying to force us to watch by including it with BDM? I can assure Bravo that it’s not working with me because as soon as Andy’s face comes up the exit button is pressed. Just another reason to reconsider watching this show.
