Jeebus, Fraser is a salty bitch and complete crybaby. He is not cut out for any kind of management position. Don't complain to Captain Kerry about Barbie airing your dirty laundry when we watched you telling no less than Cheffy, Ben, Xandi, and Paris that Barbie had to go. It's doubly frustrating to me because Fraser coddled and pandered to Cat's incessant whining and crying - and she wasn't even a good stew. Stop taking everything so personally, Fraser, and just work with Barbie. Major points for Captain Kerry for shutting down that nonsense. And shut up, Xandi. No wonder you and Fraser are so lovey-dovey; you're both two faced and bitchy. That comment about Paris being a "real stew" was completely unnecessary. I do think it's hilarious that both Xandi and Fraser think Barbie has turned a corner -- yeah, she came THISCLOSE to quitting. Otherwise, the only other thing that's changed in that Captain Kerry isn't having it with your games and meltdowns. I agree with @realitytvfan1017 about Cheffy. He's letting the negative comments get into his headspace and affect his performance. He needs some positive encouragement - which he is not likely going to get from Fraser. Why on earth is Fraser being critical of Cheffy's food and saying the guests go for McDonald's, Burger King, etc? Cheffy doesn't know that. If you hear them say stuff like that, tell the chef! Then he can make things like mac & cheese, burgers & fries, spaghetti & meatballs, etc. Yes, Cheffy is struggling but Fraser is doing very little to help. Ben is an idiot. So Dylan has more experience but Sunny "knows the boat." What does that mean exactly? Dylan isn't wrong here - Sunny has had one previous yachtie job; she likely wouldn't be getting the promotion if she weren't sleeping with Ben. Ben said it himself - if he didn't promote Sunny, she'd be angry. I'm with Dylan on this one. And to whoever posted above, the only thing I recall him saying about vaginas is that if he (Dylan) had one, he would have gotten the promotion. He's not wrong. Love the editing monkeys. Right after Ben said that he and Sunny could separate work and pleasure, we see him rubbing her neck and acting more personal than colleagues, with Dylan right there, looking like he was going to hurl. Then when Ben says Dylan going behind his back to complain is uncool, we are treated to a slideshow of Ben doing the same thing, multiple times, to Jared. Ha! Sunny needs to get a clue. Ben is telling her, but not in so many words, that she is a booty call. As soon as the season ends, so does their "relationship." That's clearly not what she wants so she needs to quit dancing around the issue and agreeing with him and saying things are now clear and have been settled, when they have not. In her THs, she said she and Ben were "dating." Nope. Not dating. They're sleeping together. Not the same thing. She needs to either look at him as the fuck boy he is and see it as a temporary fling or break it off and deal with a very uncomfortable last few weeks. I wonder if there will be a reunion and if Kerry will pipe in on Ben promoting the girl he's sleeping with. I'd love to hear his take on it.

THIS. In no way, shape or form has Barbie demonstrated any kind of insubordination. She has been nothing but professional to Fraser - and he certainly can't say the same. He has gossiped and badmouthed her to Xandi, Ben and now Paris (have we checked BD footage to see if he's badmouthed Barbie to the staff at the restaurant?) I used to like Fraser but this has completely turned me against him. He is 100% in the wrong here. From what we've been shown, it looks like Barbie works harder than anyone else in interior. I hope Captain Kerry hands Fraser his ass when he goes to get Barbie fired. #TeamBarbie I wasn't feeling Paris at all - until she called out Fraser for badmouthing Barbie and went to comfort her. She nailed the entire situation - it started as something small and has been fueled by alcohol. I felt so bad for Chef Anthony. No one can win in a situation like that, where everyone has different dietary preferences and needs - and Jill Zarin. I wanted to hug him when he said the whole event reminded him of a teacher calling him a loser and born a loser, die a loser. He is not a loser. He simply does not have a chief stew that knows how to accommodate him and help him. And therein is another failure of Fraser's management style. Instead of complaining to Xandi about Anthony, talk to Anthony and find a solution. And yes, Fraser, you can help him because now you've got Paris. #TeamCheffy Amazing how Fraser had all the time in the world to devote to Cat and her emotions and tears but he cannot deal with Barbie and he cannot deal with Chef Anthony. I think the tip was so poor because the primary was hoping that the crew would throw Jill overboard.

Jeebus, Jill is an annoying tw*t. Can someone toss her overboard? I felt so bad for Chef Anthony. That's just way too many dietary restrictions/preferences for one person to deal with. I actually felt like I was going to have an anxiety attack for him. He handled it very well though and came through with the food. Completely unfair that Barbie was left on the ship to do all the interior chores while both Fraser and Xandie were participating in beach yoga/meditation. I think Fraser should have had Xandie or himself go, but not both. He's a good chief stew, IMO, except when it comes to his favoritism. He showed it with Cat and now that Cat's gone, he's showing it with Xandie. Xandie needs to quit being such an Eeyore with Barbie. Okay, Barbie made a mistake but she does seem to work hard and as she said, she's not a quitter. So it seems like Dylan is expecting to be lead deckhand, which makes me believe that Ben will choose either Kyle, which will offend Sunny, or Sunny, which will offend Kyle and Dylan since Ben is sleeping with Sunny. Do they really wait until halfway through the season to choose a lead deckhand in the real yachting world?

Except for the tats, she does not even look like the same person. Funny how Morgan is from Virginia and has a southern accent but Kyle mocks Sutton's southern accent? Okay. IMO Kyle stopped drinking because she was basically trying to morph herself into Morgan or into someone Morgan would like/be attracted to. It wasn't just the alcohol. It was also getting more tats (stupid as they were) and changing how she was dressing. And didn't she say she called Morgan every day? I have really good friends that I love but I don't call them daily. Just saying. All in all, this three-parter was an absolute snoozefest. Andy continues to be a shit reunion host. Kyle danced around questions at the reunion, just like she danced around questions all season. And she continues to show up for reunions dressed like the Stacie Reunion doll (Barbie's sister). Her outfits are rarely flattering and neither is her hair. The orange dress she wore in some of her THs was much more flattering than her leprechaun look. I have watched RHOBH since season 1, episode 1. Never missed it. This was perhaps the most boring, dull season on record.

Cat reminds me of the young people I see posting on Twitter/Instagram/TikTok who are literally crying about how they are expected to actually work for their paychecks. I have no idea what her friend's issue was, and it's not our business, but TBH, it pissed me off that everyone was still bending over backwards to pacify and soothe her. We've seen other BD crew who have had deaths in the family, death of a friend, weddings they've missed, births they've missed, etc. and they hold it together and keep going. Cat was falling apart on day 1. I get that she had some serious family issues but it's time to be an adult. She needs to find a good therapist or she's going to fail at life. I understand that Fraser liked her and felt for her but telling her what a terrific job she did was just flat out lying. I agree with you, @iMonrey that regardless of what was going on with Cat personally, she really should have sucked it up and finished out the charter. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone get off the ship that fast. She says she can't take it anymore because Xandi was not spurting unicorns and puppies for her, goes in her cabin to cry, and it seems like 15 mins later, she's gone? Now the crew is two down. Bigger tips for everyone, especially if these guests turn out to be good tippers but a lot more work. Color me pleasantly surprised that Ben seems to be doing a good job as bosun. I didn't like how he was gunning for the position from the moment he walked on the boat and gloated over Jared's screw ups, but he does seem focused and like he understands what to do. I'm really liking Barbie. Her tables look fantastic. Continuing to love Frenchie. I could listen to him talk all day. His food looks AMAZING, the platings are wonderful, and he just does his job with no drama. He listens to/reads what the guests would like and adapts his menus accordingly. Chef Anthony, if you are reading this and would be interested in an older redhead, please call me. I hope Jared can get himself together. I think he's a good guy overall but he's just wrestling with so many demons. He really should have gone to Kerry with the issues about his daughter because I really think Kerry would have understood and tried to help him with the connectivity issue. That said, I do think Kerry was making the best decision not just for the boat but for Jared as well. Looks like the new deckhand is a hottie and Sunny may be regretting hooking up with Ben right off the bat? Will the crew ever learn? (Rhetorical question. Of course they won't!)

#TeamBarbie. I generally like Fraser but he is completely in the wrong with Barbie. She had no tone with him whatsoever, at least not in the scenes we saw, and he gets his shorts in a bunch and then goes and complains about her to Chef Anthony? Worse, he insinuates that he will fire her if she complains about him behind his back, like he's doing complaining about her behind her back? No. Absolutely not. They may have started off on the wrong foot but she's clearly a good worker and is pleasant to the guests. Like Kerry said last week, you don't have to like her personally and/or be friends with her but you do have to work with her. And note to the editing monkeys: Barbie is nothing like Camille, who did not want to work at all, and who drank during charter. Why on earth didn't Kerry take Cat out on the water after the guests had left? Seems absolutely unfair (and stupid) to do that when there is a charter in progress and Xandi and Fraser are off the boat, leaving Barbie to do the work of two people. I give Barbie credit for not telling Fraser and/or Xandi what happened while they were gone. I questioned last week whether Cat was going to have a meltdown each charter and here we go. They are going to find that they do not have time to pacify this emotionally 14-year-old every time she thinks people don't like her or she's not vibing with them. What does she expect? That is everyone is going to pay her attention and everything will center around her when they're out? Enough is enough. She needs to be told to do her job like the adult she supposedly is and quit worrying about whether she's vibing with anyone or whatever. It's six freaking weeks. Get over it or leave. Chef Anthony, OTOH, is grieving the death anniversary of his father and he holds it together better than Cat. I like him more and more each episode. His food looks wonderful, as does his plating. He gets up, goes to work, and avoids the drama (at least so far). I have no doubt that he will fulfill the dream he had with his dad and open a restaurant in Miami. Ben is a penis that is attached to a meat suit. Other than gunning for Jared's job, he really provides nothing else but looking to get laid. I expected more from Sunny. Kyle comes off as a bit lazy but apparently once he works, he does work. Jared has a problem. He's a belligerent drinker and he apparently drinks to get drunk. Given his previous conversations with Kerry, who can understand and sympathize the situation with his daughter, why on earth doesn't Jared go to Kerry and ask about using the ship's phone? There has to be a ship-to-shore phone on the boat, right? Or a laptop? Some way to communicate with his child's mother that there are connectivity issues and he's not blowing off talking to his daughter. He's letting the personal issues affect his judgment in every regard and it's going to get him a ticket home if he's not careful.

Rehydrate? What? She wasn't taking a trek through the Sahara, she was on an air-conditioned soundstage, sitting on a couch, and talking. Jeebus, if Dorito had to have real jobs like the rest of us, she'd probably blink her eyes right off. And BTW, constant tardiness drives me crazy. They should have started the cameras rolling by 9. No excuses.

I think Fraser may be one of the better chief stews we've seen. But yeah, I thought the same thing. Why on earth would you have Cat's first service be not only a dinner service but their wedding dinner service with Captain Kerry? Let her try a breakfast service first and see how she does. He's definitely letting his dislike for and frustration with Barbie cloud his judgment and decision making. Maybe. But I also think it's possible that Cat is overly sensitive and overly emotional and when she gets stressed out, her lack of self esteem kicks in and then she becomes certain that she doesn't fit in and doesn't have any friends onboard. We know the last part clearly isn't true because Fraser has bent over backwards for her and she and Sunny seem to get along.

We must be in the same age bracket because I remember calling something or someone "gay" when I was younger being the ultimate insult, like you said, but having nothing to do with homosexuality. I guess it was just a word that was used improperly -- and irresponsibly. That said, I do think Garcelle has overreacted to this whole "attack" thing with Dorito -- and I say this as a fan of Garcelle's. If Dorito felt like she was being attacked, assuming verbally, by Garcelle, that's how she felt. Annemarie citing Sutton saying that AM was yelling at her, not the same thing as no one has said that you can't say that culturally to anyone -- and frankly, AM wasn't yelling at Sutton. Maybe they were raising their voices but more so to be heard over their constant interruptions and not because they were being aggressive. According to Annemarie, not only did he tell her she was an 8.5, he said she wasn't a 10. What a dick. I don't have any tats myself but I would think for someone with access to really incredible tattoo artists would have tats of more substance, for lack of a better word. Hers just seem so random and basic, again for lack of a better word. The one she got on-camera this season looked like something you'd get out of a Cracker Jack box that you'd lick and then stick somewhere. I am DYING!!! You win the internet with that name!

THIS. So because Kyle started exercising, she can look down her rhinoplastied nose at anyone who doesn't? Bitch, please. At least Dorito's not getting matchy-matchy tattoos with a country "artist" and playing coy with everyone. The show really should have shown the clips of Annemarie and Kyle snarking on Sutton's esophagus. As I recall, while Kyle may or may not have contributed to the eating disorder convo, I'm fairly certain she insinuated that because she'd never heard of Sutton having an esophageal disorder, it didn't exist. I love Garcelle but girl, please let this "attack" thing go. If that word triggers you, say so and then move forward. I don't think Dorito is aware enough to be intentionally harming you. Honestly, do any of these ladies like each other besides Sutton and Garcelle? I couldn't tell if Erika was uncomfortable or secretly delighted at Dorito and Kyle going for each other. Kyle, you may think Dorito is stupid but we, the viewers are not. You haven't spoken to Dorito for months and then you send her a novella text the day before the reunion but it's not manipulative? Sure. I wish the ladies (or is it "ladies") would stop talking over each other. It's rude and when they do it, we can't fully hear what anyone is saying so the point becomes moot. Andy really does a shit job at keeping them under control. Sutton was the best dressed IMO.

Totally agree. Fraser is 100% wrong in this situation. I find Fraser is giving Barbie more attitude than she's giving him, mostly by telling her that she constantly needs to pander to Cat. Cat's background is sad but no one should have to tiptoe around her because she's going to have a meltdown each and every charter. If she's that sensitive, she really has no business being on a reality show. I didn't particularly care for Barbie in the first episode but she's clearly a stew who knows service and has attention to detail. Maybe Fraser should give her a little more credit, some compliments and maybe a little attention instead of trying to "save" Cat. The weddings were just beautiful -- that scenery - wow! Love, love, love Chef Anthony. His accent and his food are both amazing.

I actually decided to watch this crap tonight and was almost immediately reminded of why I abandoned this show years ago. FFS, these people are 40, or pushing 40, and they seem to have learned nothing. Everyone is insufferable, save Flat Iron's assistant, Ann, and the pets. Fortunately, my brain attempted to save itself by sleeping through at least a quarter of this mess. Very sad when I miss the days of Jax's chunky sweater, Stassi's "it's all about me" birthday month, Tequila Katie, Schwartz panicking over any kind of work and Kristen, who looked as though she smelled like a truck stop, declaring how hot and attractive they all were.

Ugh. This show. I really wish the "experts" would step in and expert themselves before everything snowballs - although I don't recall so many clusterf*cks before the couples even move in together. While I think Lauren and Orion were a poor match from the start, they are a clear example of why, during the honeymoon, the couples should act as if they are on first dates and not have these in-depth serious convos that can and should be saved until later. You're on your honeymoon! Just have fun and get to know each other on a more surface-level basis. I mean, you met this person less than a week ago; you don't have to be talking about religion and politics, etc. I honestly don't know the truth about Orion but it seems pretty clear that the racial thing was nothing but a Hail Mary. I'm pretty pissed that no one has confronted him about the fact that he said the "n" word, which is just as egregious as Lauren questioning redskin. Actually, it may be worse because while some people may not know the history of redskin, almost everyone knows about the "n" word. In any event, Lauren should consider herself lucky that she only had to spend seven days with Orion and write it off as a lesson learned. I think that Pastor Cal was wrong to ask Brennan in front of Emily what he did not like about her. Dude, seriously. Have this convo in another room with just Brennan and then feel free to ask. I'm not sure I believe that Brennan was never attracted to Emily; if that's true, he's a fairly decent actor. I'm wondering if, after spending seven days with her, he saw how much she drank. She did seem to be drinking quite a bit. I also wonder if she fell and hurt her hand because she was drunk. Personally, that would turn me off someone -- especially someone who is pushing 30. Bad enough when you're 21 but if you're still doing this at 30, it's a lifestyle choice for you. Brennan also mentioned that his parents fought quite a bit and his dad was a vodka drinker (if I'm remembering correctly). Makes me wonder if alcohol played a part in his family dynamics. If so, then I could understand why he'd be hesitant to have a party girl for a wife - and especially if he was looking for someone more serious. And I can also understand why he didn't want to get into the things he doesn't like about Emily if they had anything to do with her drinking. That said, I think Emily seems like a nice girl -- and I say this as someone who did not like her at all in the first episode. She really needs to find herself a good therapist and realize that maybe she's been ghosted so many times because she's being a party girl when the men she's with don't want that. (And she also needs some new friends who are more friends than frenemies.) I had hope for Becca and Austin but that's faded after Austin making comments about not moving in together after Decision Day. That never bodes well. No idea if he's just really thinking about things after seven days, or if Becca is tiring after seven days, or if their serious discussions (here we go again) played into it. But once again, maybe save the serious talks about religion and kids and health until after the first month passes or something. In the real world, I would say these discussion might scare someone off but these are folks on MAFS, so they've skipped the whole dating thing. I think Cameron and Clare could potentially make it, if Clare would loosen up a little bit and just relax and try to get to know Cameron and enjoy her time with him. Didn't she say she was a therapist or a counselor? Seems ironic, given that she has such a difficult time communicating with him. He seems like a nice, fun guy to me who is honestly giving this "experiment" a shot. Maybe he'll take Clare out to get a bike with a frame that actually fits her and she'll see what he's very passionate about and they can get on some common ground. At this point, they are the only couple that may have a chance.

Kyle. Since he climbed aboard, it's been nothing but problems. Lily is a fourth stew. If she's not getting what her job duties are, it's a reflection on her supervision. She did mention that in her previous job there was no laundry and it doesn't sound like she had to do beds and heads either. As someone else mentioned, why not have her run plates and more guest-related services? I guess if she did that, there would be less drama. I liked Jessika at the beginning of the season but I'm really not feeling her now. She didn't like how Kyle treated her or how she perceived Natalya was treating her. She's doing the same thing to Lily. Why is she playing runtelldat to Tumi about Lily's iPad? She could have asked Lily why she had it. She's simply trying to stir the pot - something she must have picked up from Kyle since they've become buddy-buddy. Honestly, I can't wait for Natalya's reappearance (and I am not a Natalya fan) so that Jessika gets a taste of karma when Luka ignores her to invest all his energy into Natalya. Kyle is the very definition of an exhausting drama queen. He said he felt like Kyle at 21. No, he's always acting like Kyle as a teenager because everything with him is dramatic end of the world crap. I give Jack credit for smoothing things over with him. I too thought Hayleigh was hungover. Can no one on these boats go out and not get absolutely smashed to the point of vomiting the next morning and complaining about how hungover they are? That should be a serious safety violation. I thought it was ridiculous that Luka had to get every single deckhand out of bed to carry plates for dinner while Jessika and Lily were doing cabins. Come on. Pull Lily off cabins to help carry plates. How many crew members do they need to carry plates up anyhow?

Denise was a hot mess at that dinner but cleaned up by lunch with Garcelle, Sutton, and Cystal -- and I still love her. So every dinner with these "ladies" ends up a disaster. On what planet would adding weed make it any better? I've been watching RHOBH since day one and I distinctly remember Kyle screeching about how marijuana was a gateway drug. I guess she changed her mind. Faye can STFU. I'll listen to Camille calling her the morally corrupt Faye Resnick forever though. So now Erika is claiming her marriage to Tom was an arrangement? Didn't she try and tell us for years that she fell in love with him, it was a love match, she loved older men, etc.? Good on Annemarie for not even hesitating to tell the ladies her height and weight. You go, girl. Garcelle is still the queen in my book. #Garcelleforthewin Kim's artwork is actually very good -- although drawing all over her walls is a bit eccentric. Does Amazon not deliver paper to her house?

Kyle is absolutely insufferable. Have we had an episode yet where he hasn't yelled at someone, fought with someone, rewritten history, and/or passed the blame? So Jess gets Luka in her and now she's become a judgey little brat? Maybe I'm wrong but if memory serves, the first night they went out she got tanked and was late/slow moving the next day. Not to mention that someone (i.e, Tumi and Natalya) had to train her so what's with the attitude about not liking or wanting to have to train Lily? Lily may be no prize, although she seems harmless enough, but no one should have expected her to walk right on a super yacht, in the midst of a charter season, after having worked on small boats and been able to jump right in as if she had been doing this for years. Maybe she's right and a little more positive encouragement would go a long way? Did she and Max hook up? I thought Max told Luka they did not and were just hugging. Or should I say "hugging"? So even though Luka is slipping it to Jess, he's text messaging Natalya. It should get interesting when she returns during a crew night out - both Jess and Kyle will have breakdowns.

So this episode was sitting in my DVR for a week and I finally watched it last night. Okay, I ff'd through most of it. Emily is a disaster. No way will her marriage work. I'm not shading her for being 29 and never having been in a serious relationship (unlike her "friends") but I will shade her for being a drunken fool. Girl, you're on camera. Your future husband will see this. His family will see this. Has no one (i.e., her "friends") ever told her WHY she's getting ghosted by 100% of her dates? Obviously, the "experts" weren't interested in finding out but talk about a huge red flag. I feel sorry for Brennan and I have zero hope for them. I don't see Lauren and Orion making it - although I didn't see Brianna and Vincent making it either, so there's that. I don't think Orion is manly enough for her, if that makes sense. And please, no more "girth" comments. Was that whole thing a set up? Because Lauren was the one mentioning size from the girls' side as well. I feel badly for Michael, regardless of the reason he had a runaway bride. When he walked up with the crown and scepter and the asymmetrical hair and piercings, I honestly thought someone from the bride's side would legit send her a text and tell her to run. From the intro, I was thinking that would be my fear if I was ever on a show like MAFS because if my first view of my husband-to-be at the end of the altar was Michael, not going to lie, I would panic. Of course, once we got more info on him, he seems like a really nice, intelligent man. He shouldn't have to change for anybody - but maybe tone it down just a little in the beginning until people get to know you. I pretty much dozed off in between ff'ing and don't really remember anyone else.

On WWHL Kyle said that the thing that hurt her most regarding the separation was the rumor that she and Mo were doing this for ratings. Or a storyline. (Or maybe because Mo has a big old lawsuit pending against him). Anyhow, she said nobody would do that to their family and children for ratings (paraphrasing). Well, in the previews we saw a scene where Kyle and Mo sit down with their daughters and apparently drop the bomb about separating. Who would do THAT to their children, even adult children? They agreed to have it filmed. That seems cruel -- and for ratings. The Bravo production crew isn't with them 24/7 during filming - could they not have had this convo off camera? And even if the crew was there, Kyle and Mo could have flatly refused to film something like that. So is the separation real or made up for Bravo? Real and they are using it to advantage for storyline purposes? And if anything but just real, are the kids in on it too?

$300,000 a MONTH? Boy, did I choose wrong when I got married. I'm with Dorit - Erica's hormones are Ozempic or the like. She's way too skinny and she looks horrible. I do like Dorit's darker hair. The pizza scene with Kyle and Dorit - in several shots of Kyle, it was like looking at Kathy's face with Kyle's hair. First time I've ever seen such a resemblance. The tattoo scene with Kyle and Mo was hard to watch. Did Mo really not know about Kyle's extra tattoos? That scene came across scripted to me. Garcelle's sons really have great personalities. I hurt for her when Jax said he needed parenting two years ago but not now. Still love her. I hope she brings the snark and zingers this season. Did we see Crystal at all besides the Eaglewoman retreat?

Team Tumi. Screw Natalya and her screaming and hand waving. At least this episode we didn't have to hear, once again, about her open relationship. In a non-reality show world, if your boss/supervisor tells you they want to have a talk, you don't say no unless you're looking to be demoted or fired. Natalya was 100% out of line to tell Tumi no to a discussion, especially after Sandy told both of them to talk it out. When they finally did have a discussion, it was clear that Natalya is never going to let go what she considered Tumi's unappreciative behavior. If I were Tumi, I simply could not work with her, nor would I want to. Natalya is a third stew; I'd be worried she'd jack something up just so the chief stew would get blamed. The vegan guest was a PITA. If you're picky, maybe let the chef and chief stew know that you have certain dietary requests. And "fried" doesn't necessarily translate to "breaded and deep fried." Max is completely lazy -- especially compared to Lara. So Kyle basically stirred the pot, playing both sides of the fence, and slips thru unscathed? Based on his appearance on WWHL, he's apparently gotten some work done (nose? eyes?)

So Natalya and Kyle have mastered the art of run-tell-dat. Both are total shit stirrers. Tumi walked in on a no-win situation; Natalya was going from chief stew to third stew and Kyle had spent time telling Tumi what a backstabber Natalya was. So Kyle gets info from Tumi then passes it along to Natalya. Natalya runs around to the deck crew and Jack, talking shit about Tumi. Natalya, don't think we didn't notice that right after you told Tumi not to wave her hands in front of you, you did the same thing to her. Way too many egos and attitudes among the crew. I may not be able to understand Max but he's cute. These guests seem like a PITA. The table decors look really nice. Sandy should be happy about that.

I was coming here to post the same thing about Adam. I think a lot of the fault lies with Luke, who was his bosun for the majority of the season so far. Luke appeared to do very little in the way of training, assessing, instructing, organizing. Totally understandable, I guess, when you're putting the moves on unconscious chicks. I understand Jason dismissing Adam, although it really broke my heart. I agree with Joao in theory that you'd rather have a green worker who's a team player and has good work ethic versus someone who may know their stuff but has an attitude and won't take direction. I really liked Culver the last season he was on but I see him very differently now. Unless the editing monkeys are at work, he's very lazy and he clearly has zero respect for Joao, who is his supervisor. I know Joao gets a lot of grief but I will say he's a good bosun who knows his stuff and he is 100% correct in what he told Jason. He did go to bat for Adam and I'll never forget him telling Adam that he could put him in contact with his brother for a future job. I have to wonder what Tzarina is going to tell her girlfriend once her girlfriend sees all these scenes were Tzarina is touching, cuddling, and hanging all over Joao. Even if what Joao said was true and it was basically a hook-up from the start, that's Tzarina's friend who apparently wanted more. There are plenty of men in the sea (no pun intended) so if I were Tzarina's friend, I'd be pretty pissed off about that. Luka is gorgeous and like others, it would be stellar karma for him and Jaimee to hook up, leaving Culver out in the cold. I love Aesha. She is just always so pleasant, so lively, and very happy and gracious to the guests. Her first season, on Med, I think, her voice really grated on me but I've learned to appreciate it. She is definitely one of the best stews on the BD franchise.

I get motion sick so I stay away from boats. I do wonder if Adam's meds work in general but he seemed worst off on the first day and then when it raining and storming and the boat was bouncing around. In waters like that, even people with strong stomachs can feel queasy. Anyhow, I do know of a few pilots that suffer with motion sickness. Apparently it does get better as your system gets "used" to the motion. I'll admit I thought of Gary and Ashley from BDSY when watching Laura. Ashley did the same thing to Gary, climbing all over when he said no and then basically assaulting him when he was drunk. As I recall, he told her no and she replied with "you're already inside me," or something to that effect. In that case, production didn't interfere with Ashley dragging Gary into a guest bedroom and having some sort of sexual act with him. They also didn't stop her when she was all over Tom (?) after both had been drinking. I'm glad they stepped in with Margot -- maybe they draw the line when a person is unconscious. My guess is they stepped in with Laura and Adam because of what Luke had already done. After all, if this had been BDSY and Adam had been Gary or Tom and Laura had been Ashley, I think they would have let things play out. Please NO. As much as I like Courtney, I was sick to death of her constant twerking.

Holy shit, those were two deep episodes. Now we know why Laura was attracted to Luke. Like is attracted to like; one predator to another. I loved Aesha before this but now I love her even more, for stepping up not only for Margot but for Adam as well. Harassment is harassment and assault is assault, whether it's a man or woman doing it. Maybe this will be a good lesson for all those crew nights out, when so many of them get black out drunk or claim they don't remember what happened the next day. There may not be an Aesha or Jason there -- and thank goodness there was this time. Given Laura's comments to Margot, I have to wonder if she's been assaulted herself and/or thinks this is just normal, drunken behavior, especially if you've been "flirty" with someone. Regardless, her comments were disgusting, as was her refusal to listen to what Adam was saying and pawing and climbing all over him. I felt sorry for him - for that and for the motion sickness. I've suffered with motion sickness and it's terrible. You don't choose to be motion sick, LUKE. It's not like Adam was sick just to ruin your day. Douchebag. I hate that we saw Margot drinking the day after. Definitely not a good foreshadowing. I have a feeling that if Culver had been around when Luke was climbing into Margot's bunk, Luke would have gotten a well-deserved beatdown. So I recognize Joao but the new stew? Anyone? And again, kudos to Aesha and Jason, MVPs this episode.

No one in the cast was slut shaming Daisy. It was people on the internet. I wouldn't consider Daisy a "slut" or anything like that. A drunk maybe but not a slut by any means. I did feel sorry for Daisy feeling that way and I'm never happy to see anyone crying. As I said above, I think she was in love with Colin, and maybe still is, despite what she told Andy. I don't think Colin labeled Daisy herself toxic - he said the relationship became toxic, mostly because you couldn't have an argument or conversation with Daisy, according to him, because she flew off the handle, interrupted and whatever else she was doing last night when he was attempting to tell his version of events. I have no idea what really happened between the two of them. We didn't get Colin's full story (thanks, Andy) and clearly there's a lot of hurt/anger/bitterness that Daisy is holding toward Colin, based on her WWHL appearance, her Insta and the fact that she was making faces and rolling her eyes every time he spoke during part 1. Because Andy couldn't control the room, there were multiple people talking at the same time when Colin, Daisy and/or Gary spoke. From what I could gather, it seems that Colin felt that Daisy was always holding back and not fully committing and concerned about the connection with Gary and broke things off between himself and Daisy in December. Apparently he had a female he had been hooking up with on his boat before he and Daisy hooked up prior to coming onboard Parsifal. I think he indicated that the female on board his boat would never be anything more than a hook up, at least per Daisy, and she was hurt by the fact that she became more than that after she and Colin broke up. So maybe Daisy thinks it never ended or she's hurt because what Colin said wasn't true -- or didn't become true after they broke up. Again, don't know because it wasn't further explored. But clearly, their relationship became toxic and/or unhealthy for both of them. Colin has moved on, Daisy doesn't seem to have yet. Daisy needs to look away from Gary and Colin and maybe find someone that's not on the boat with her if she wants a relationship. JMO.
