S07.E11: I'm Sorry You Feel That Way

[scrb]

Kate blames Ashton for aborting the beach lunch because it may not be safe for the kids and the elderly.

Then makes a show out of promoting Courtney in front of Simone.

Way to live up to the "bitch" label.

Rhylee and Kate in that same cabin.  At least they're not inflicting themselves on anyone else in close quarters.

Yes it's true the other crew members aren't great but which ones are generating the most drama and antagonism?

I think the best thing in the world is the fact that "Smashton" has yet to smash anyone this season. Not in the way he intends that name to mean. It really is the best revenge for a douchey nickname.

Actually assholes do get punished. 

Tanner and Ashtons asshole behavior brings them the contempt of the viewers. Rhylee’s aggressions and volatile behavior leads to the deck crew ostracizing her and a miserable time on board. Simones dithering and incompetence leads to her demotion and being stuffed into the laundry. Kevin’s arrogance lead to the enmity of the Captain.

The only one who skates year after year is Kate.

How did she skate? She had a conversation with the captain (her direct supervisor) the same as Ashton. And if you count the contempt of the viewers for Ashton and Tanner, how can you fail to also count that for Kate? She gets plenty of it.

She Skates because the Dud of the Sea will never hold her accountable for anything she does. When you saw how she abused a troubled and fragile subordinate last season you know that there is nothing she can do that will effect her status as Queen Bitch. It just so happens that everyone is wise to her wicked ways this season and her designated flying monkey (Courtney) refuses to play along with her mean girl reindeer games.

That is why she is weeping all alone in her bunk. Poor, poor Kate.

She actually said she wouldn’t call him it again but than explained what yachtie meant to her and that’s when he called her a bitch. It should also be noted when they were both much more sober at the pool she called him a yachtie and he didn’t take issue with it.

She didn't call him a yachtie again, she tried to explain to him what she thinks "yachtie" means to her and further how it was meant as a compliment and not in a derogatory way.

No he didn’t. He gave her a tongue bath. Where is the tough talk he uses with everyone else? He needed to point out to her that her behavior was unacceptable for someone in a leadership position. I also think he has to be a lot tougher with Ashton. He has already had his three strikes.

The Dud of the Sea is a phony paper tiger and also needs to be replaced

I can’t wait to see the new Captain and Chief Stew on Below Deck Sailboat. This franchise desperately needs a change:

I seem to recall last week one of the guys (Ashton probably but I don't remember) doing a cannonball and splashing (IIRC) not only their co-workers, but some random people at the poolside bar. Completely immature. 

ETA: now I see it was the same cannonball that damaged the equipment (I posted before I got to that part of the show). He's still an immature jerk.

I think I broke the code. Captain Lee seems very lazy. Why doesn’t he find a beach that wasn’t so dangerous with rocks and shoals? Why doesn’t he watch the tide charts and know when it is not feasible to send a boat ashore? It’s not a mystery...the tide charts are available to anyone. Why is it left up to the deck crew instead of the Captain to make these decisions that effect the safety of the passengers? Why doesn’t he do his research? Why isn’t his ship and crew prepared?

I like Captain Lee but I did think the same thing in this episode. I know they've mentioned the tides are irregular in Thailand but they've been there long enough that Captain Lee should be able to anchor somewhere where there is a viable beach option. Normally I like his hands-off approach, but this seems to be a legitimately difficult (possibly dangerous) task and it also affects the tip. These reasons means it's in everyone's best interest for Captain Lee to get involved.

[Yours Truly]

I don't think people have to walk on eggshells with Rhylee I think assholes need to make sure they don't come at her the wrong way. I don't see anything wrong with carrying yourself in a way that makes it clear that you don't plan on suffering fools or assholes for that matter. The deck crew is already on high alert for any sort of "aggravation" from Rhylee. Come to think of it it's the other way around. Just like last season. Rhylee can't show even a hint of irritation or aggravation without someone telling her to "calm down" or "relax" Ashton did that shit to her last season when all she was doing was asking a question.

Rhylee works and WANTS to do her job. She likes to know what she's doing because looking incompetent is a big deal to her. I noticed that she likes to ask questions and for some reason that was a problem for Chandler and he expressed a lot of frustration towards her. That didn't sit well with Rhylee cause all she was trying to do was get more information so she could do her work properly. A lot of the back and forth last season had to do with her trying to clarify what needed to get done. I really don't appreciate it when men quickly label a woman troublesome because they have to answer questions or explain something. 

Rhylee's short fuse doesn't help matters but honest to goodness she's continually faced with rudeness and condescension from these guys and I know for a fact I would react in a similar way because I don't play that shit. I WILL put you in your place and I WILL make it clear that you aren't going to act any ole sort of way when interacting with me.  The guys find any excuse to express frustration with her. Was it necessary for Brian to tell her to calm down? Was she having a meltdown or was she as confused and frustrated with how the task was going just like everyone else? How about don't antagonize someone who has made it clear that she will push back every time. Problem is people are quick to be slick but then count on the other person letting it roll off their back cause it "ain't that serious". Rhyleee has made it clear that she doesn't like being spoken AT so maybe keep it simple and not be rude when addressing her. I hate that having to behave properly equates to walking on eggshells to some.

It is Mother Nature!  Sea conditions change within minutes.

That was not a ship.  It is a tender. 

The Thai isles are notorious for this. This is what I remember.

 All the time the tide  changes.  You can literally be on the beach chilling. Go to lunch.  Come back....and, the beach is gone! 
 

You can arrive at shore on boat and be in dry land.

On your way back to the ferry.....you gotta swim to get back on the ferry.

These are natural islands. You pull up to the shores.

These are not the man made islands you are used to sailing with Carnival Cruise Lines......with the added convenience of heavy duty boarding  docks. 

Remember the tsunami that took out the beach communities in 14 Asian countries...including Thailand...???! This is the same locations they are filming this season.
 

The unpredictable Thai tides have affected all the charters.

Anyone that cruises or go on safaris know the risks.  Landings and sightings are not guaranteed.
 

There is no negotiating ahead of time with Mother Nature or the apes!

When I went to Antarctica we made all of our landings.  Our weather was great!  My friend went a few seasons later....and, only made 2 shore landings out of a possible 10. There was one landing where conditions changed rapidly and could not safely board the zodiacs. They spent 5 hours inside a tent on shore.

Better stuck on a yacht than at shore!

Lives, first!
 

Attacking  an experienced Captain who has not had any casualties on this show....makes no sense.

The Captain's job isn't to run the interior of the boat.  That's why he has a chief stew and a chef.   He doesn't plan events, they do.   If things go wrong that are within the control of the chief stew, chef, or chief bosun, then he should hold them accountable.   

From the episodes we've seen here in Thailand, there doesn't appear to be many shore areas with broad beach areas.   I don't like Ashton, but I can understand why he changed his mind about that spot.   It's too bad that he or another of the deck hands didn't scout it out that morning before loading people into the boat.

All issues of safety of the passengers aren't delegated to the chief bosun or chief stew, but certain topics are certainly theirs to make calls on.  It's part of their jobs.

Just because the Captain (or the other bridge crew or engineer, etc) isn't shown working, it doesn't mean he doesn't work.  All we see are primarily moments when he interacts with the stews, bosun, or guests, which is a fraction of the work.   It's a boat, not a building sitting on shore.

[The Ringo Kidd]

Yes tides shift and things change. That’s why the Captain should put down his cereal bowl and do some work. If there aren’t any beaches that are safe they shouldn’t offer beach excursions.

Captain Lee is arrogant, lazy and complacent.

[Yours Truly]

I just don't get why Rhylee is the one who is "wrong" all the time. I can't stand this culture where fuckers want to be slick. Be antagonistic but the only thing wrong is Rhylee's reaction. I mean sure there is something to be said for the philosophy of controlling your responses but it's also okay snap back immediately and firmly. Rhylee gets flack because she's not being diplomatic about the rudeness and I resent the idea that they seem to think she's required to stifle her annoyance with them while they are just fine allowing themselves to create conflict by acting poorly in the first place. Uggggghhhh it really chaps my ass.

There is an engineer that works alongside the crew deck.  Sometimes, you can see him in the shots.  I have a feeling he travels with the camera crew and tells Ashton what to do in his earpiece.

I'm pretty sure I remember her specifically telling Ashton she didn't know how to tie those knots when he asked her to and said to him "let me try." I'm not a Rhylee apologist but it seemed pretty clear this was something she was unfamiliar with so Ashton probably should have made sure she was able to do it properly before walking away.

She's also the only person to say anything so while she wasn't loud about it, Captain heard her and was able to slow down. Had she not said a word, it could have been a whole other result. Captain Lee confirmed this last season. That error is 100% on Ashton.

I agree with you on that one. And her attitude about the knots was poor. Saying that's not how we do it on the fishing boat is just asking for trouble. Honestly she should have learned all her knots before stepping on the boat. 

I don't like Tanner (I think it was) but it was funny when he said "If you don't know knots, tie lots." Since I am a terrible knot person, that's my personal solution.

See this is 75% of the problem right there. No one actually hears Rhylee out then turns it around on her being 100% of the problem. I think she's always been up front about whatever it is she needs help with it's when she's talked over, disregarded and talked down to that you see her explosive side. Should she tone it down yeah, she should but I feel like every conflict she's ever been in started innocently enough and then someone says or does something slick to her for no good reason and then we see her stand up for herself. Her biggest problem is that most of the time she uses a cannon when a pistol would have been enough.

Ashton is right about one thing, you have to walk on eggshells with Rhylee. 

I think one of Rhylee's triggers is when someone tells her to "calm down".  She flipped out in last night's episode when Brian said that to her, and I recall her flipping out about those same words with Ross (was that his name-?) last season.  It's like she's one of Pavlov's dogs and those words are her whistle.

I do think that Rhylee is a loose cannon, with major anger management issues that she needs to address, but at times, I can totally understand her frustration with the "brus" on this charter, starting with Ashton.  I don't agree with her methods of dealing with things, because lashing out and using constant foul language isn't going to get you any satisfaction, just more dislike (as we've seen).

Brian's apology was garbage, as we can see from his THs where he says Kate needed to be put in her place and confirming he had no regrets for what he said. Also, he apologized when both were still drunk, i'd like to see her reaction had he come to her when they were sober. As for Ashton, he didn't have any reason to apologize to Kate specifically though it seems he did it solely to get an apology from her...which she also did not owe him.

I can’t wait to see the new Captain and Chief Stew on Below Deck Sailboat. This franchise desperately needs a change:
