S01.E06: Oof! I Did It Again

[OnceSane]

Quote

Paget’s patience runs out when he’s left to pick up the slack after Parsifal crashes into the dock. A new charter of men from Long Island set sail in all of their champagne-sabering, chest-bumping glory, and the crew scrambles to meet their loud and incessant demands. Adam goes into beast mode while trying to cook for the bros, but he gets comfortable with Jenna, who wants more from their relationship. The guests cruise beach bars for chicks but end up taking a dive in the drink. Madison must decide how to handle a charter guest that crosses the line. And Parker and Madison facilitate an out-of-control yacht party.

Airs March 9, 2020.

This must be the charter where we see the muscle head lifting up Madison and she keeps asking him to stop that we have seen in the trailers.

I am curious to see what if anything Glenn is going to do about that.

[TexasGal]

Well Georgia is certainly succeeding in getting exposure for her singing.  Bah.

[Emmeline]

I’ve found this version of BD to be rather dull and haven’t even cared to catch it each week.  However, I’m watching tonight and the guest that just fell getting back in the tender was hilarious.

Wow Madison!  Amazing job dealing with these assholes.

[njbchlover]

Wow! What a bunch of scum bags!! Theses guys make the Jersey Shore kids look like the epitome of class and mannners!! 

How old are these guys, anyway? Acting like out of control frat boys, but look like they’re in their late 30’s/early 40’s! 

[PaperTree]

Long Island's finest....

[TexasGal]

What is with their obsession with sabering the champagne bottles?  DId they just learn you can do that the day before the charter or what?  Frigging lunkheads.

[The Ringo Kidd]

Madison should have said something about being manhandled.

I am disappointed in Glenn. I saw him carrying luggage which is something I never saw the other Captains do. He should have his finger on the plus of his ship. He should have made himself more prominent during the charter. These mooks are punks and would back down if someone called them in their bullshit.

No tip is worth letting your crew be manhandled by drunken assholes. They knew it was over the line.  That’s why they told Madison not to tell anyone. What a bunch of bullshit.

I thought I’ve seen it all, living down the shore in NJ-these guys are next level assholes! 
Worst part of this is that they don’t even realize (or care) how bad they look. 
I wonder how many of them still live with Mommy or if any of them are in a committed relationship with an actual person, and not just their mirrors and gym equipment! 

[movingtargetgal]

Why isn't Adam up making midnight snacks for the guests?  Jenna should have been up helping Madison when the guests returned to the boat with their guests.  Poor Madison was cooking for and waiting on all those drunks by herself.  I am glad Parker was there to help her.

[PaperTree]

Whoa Madison!  This murder story needs some research.

She is truly the energizer bunny.  Whipping up grilled cheese sandwiches at 3 AM so horny bear can sleep , then gets manhandled by this idiot.

Then does it again the next night.

So cool of Parker while everyone else was snoozing.

It was one of the highlights of the show  🙂 

[Grundoon59]

Unfortunately the minute Madison told the story about her sister's murder, I remembered it from local Detroit news coverage.  The area where it happened was not far from where I worked at the time.   There is apparently more to the story but it would clearly have been a tragedy for Madison's family however it occurred.

OMG -  poor Madison.  I've liked her since the beginning and I get her fear of going to Captain.  It would make no sense for her to go to Jenna cause Jenna wouldn't do a damn thing.  What does Jenna ever do besides hang out in the kitchen with Adam and serve plates.

I thought Georgia sang very nicely.  It was a good break in the shit show.

What a bunch of jerks on this charter.  Yeah, not cool.  But they were trying so hard to. 

Epoxy repair can really be a pain in the butt and can be a long process.....

[nytonc]

Jenna needs to get off Adam’s dick and start paying attention to what’s going on around her. She can start by.helping the stews who’ve been stuck dealing with these asshole guests.  All of the kissing and hugging in the galley is nauseating.

Interesting.  Parker and Georgia were the guests tonight on WWHL and Madison was in the audience.  IMO, I would have rather seen Madison as a guest.  Anyhow, Andy did ask her a few questions and she did say that a body guard was brought on the yacht.  It seems to me that it was probably a production move.  I was worried that these guys would do something even worse than manhandling  Madison.

[njbchlover]

I haven't really paid too much attention to this show for the first few episodes, but paid more attention tonight.

I know a lot of people thought that Kate was a crappy chief stew, but compared to Jenna, Kate is a whiz kid.  I haven't seen Jenna do much at all, except dry wine glasses and flirt with Adam.  She hangs out in the galley more than any other stew we've seen on all iterations of BD.  She does serve meals, but there's no interaction at all with the guests - and she NEVER smiles at anyone - talk about resting bitch face!  I can't figure out what the hell she does!  

Seeing what douches these charter guests are and how much service they require demand, why would Jenna leave a jr. stew on late nights, ALL BY HERSELF!!!  Madison was left swinging in the wind to deal with a bunch of drunken, idiotic louts who were horrible to everyone.  Glad to see Parker step up on the second night of the charter to help her out. 

After the first night, Madison should have mentioned to Jenna or Adam that she had to cook drunk munchie food for the guests, so that someone would be around (Adam) to prepare some food for the guests the second night. 

I'm also calling bullshit on the fact that everyone except Madison and Parker slept through the guests having a drunken party WITH A DJ on the sailing yacht - it's not that big - the other crew members had to have heard it!!!  Why didn't Madison or Parker notify someone else prior to the guests returning with those women to ask for assistance?  Just makes no sense at all!!  

And, the guy lifting Madison was such a dick tool!!  (Is it possible to be a dick and a tool at the same time?)  His comment about "Don't tell anyone" and then, laughing with the other meatheads "What's she gonna do - call the Greek police?"  I wish someone would have called the Greek police on these disgusting, ugy American fuckwads!!  Let them spend a night in a Greek jail and see how much they crow and strut around afterward!  

We've seen some really bad/obnoxious/entitled guests on Below Deck and BD Med, but these jerks are currently at the top of the list of worst charter guests ever.  I'm thinking they leave a crappy tip, too - because they didn't get their fucking shrimp cocktail for "five and fucking half hours" or they didn't get enough champagne bottles to sabre!!!

Good to know.  Thanks for sharing.  I was just about to post something about how disgusting the guests were and how angry I felt watching it.  Especially coming off the misogyny of last season’s Below Deck.  I’m really disgusted.

I hate how Madison felt she had to take that abuse and stay silent about it because speaking up might jeopardize the tip.  We’re in the midst of the #MeToo era, and yet it’s still so prevalent, and even broadcast on national tv in such a same-old, same-old manner.  

And if the captain gives an “I didn’t know it was going on” excuse, a la Captain Lee, I’m going to scream.  When will management take a proactive stance on this subject?  Will it take a lawsuit?

These guests must be Asston's idols. Shingles on all their dicks!

[MVFrostsMyPie]

But on a serious note, this would be such a nightmare to experience. A bunch of meatheads who think they're god's gift to women, entitled, holding power over the women serving them, fueled by alcohol... I'm just going to assume at least half of them have deformed micro-dicks and missing testicles a la Weinstein, to make myself feel better.

I agree.  I hope they all have a permanent case of shingles on their deformed micro-dicks.

MVFROSTSMYPIE, cursing misogynistic manpigs with a shingles on the dick spell will NEVER get old for me. 😎

[MVFrostsMyPie]

Also, can Jenna rub anything besides wine glasses and Adam? What is she, 29-going-on-13? They might as well stick the heart-eyes emoji on her face the whole time. 😍🤮 

I admit I can't stand people who can't practice self-control with their PDA. Get it together, JFC. You can swap saliva and bump uglies when the charter's over. Why do they just stand there hugging? DO YOUR JOB.

[scrb]

They cast these Bros on purpose, probably encouraged them to be demanding, loud, overrun the boat.

They were opening champagne bottles themselves, serving themselves at the bar, taking glasses with booze on the tender, etc.

So far in all these charters they don’t seem to be going very far from Corfu.  These guests wanted to go to bars at night so they had to be nearby but captain said something about 36 miles.  Maybe the wind doesn’t take them towards other islands.

Madison is the MVP, putting up with all the bullshit and keeping quiet to protect their tips.

Jenna and Adam, lame as usual.  She just wants it and he’s denying her.  She’s going to be bitterly disappointed.

It would be pretty evil if the producers got Georgia and Paget to flirt, to cause some drama and mess with Ciara a bit.  Or that’s how they sold it to get them to play along for the show.

Is the extent of Jenna’s arranging things reading TripAdvisor?

It’s so strange to me that this group would book an Ionian charter. Corfu has party spots but in general is chiller than, say, Mykonos or Santorini. Did they not do their research or were they specifically wanting to be on the show? It’s weird to me.

Same.  I realized this week that Madison is from the Detroit area and a fellow Michigan State Spartan but it wasn't until she mentioned her sister's murder that I realized why her surname was familiar. Such a sad story, made worse because no one has been charged. 

Crazy to me that no one else got up to help.  You know they heard the DJ. No one should have to put up with being manhandled.

Hate Jenna & Adam, can't wait til he makes her cry.

[dleighg]

whatever Paget was doing on the damaged boat did not look like a 40k repair job.

Can someone who understands boats explain how that happened and how the crew could have prevented it? Was incompetence involved or just bad luck?

[Mr. Miner]

Apparently Jenna learned how to be a chief stew from Hannah. They both suck!

After Madison was man handled, the captain, is their a captain on this boat? the captain should have turned the boat around and taken these meatheads back to the harbor, thrown them off and kept their money.

 

[dleighg]

They had a little clip of the crew loading a bunch of champagne bottles into the cooler, saying "they requested a lot of champagne."

Which makes me wonder, is there an extra charge for excessive or expensive booze? I remembered on an earlier season where a particular tequila was requested.

[Yours Truly]

I do not find Jenna attractive at all. I know that's superficial but I'm just so tired of these Below deck shows making hooking up such a thing with the guys going ga-ga but then can't seem to find any true knockouts to cast. I think Hannah's pretty, Kates okay attractive and can clean up nice, Courtney from last season was aight. Malia was rather attractive and had some really good moments. Amy was also rather pretty as well as Rhylee. But I mean, the way the men who end up hooking up or having crushes or "going on dates" with whichever one agrees swoon and get moony always makes my eyes roll sooooooo ridiculously far back into my head. And the hook ups don't even happen with the one's that I mentioned (aside from Malia and Courtney). Sure Hannah hooked up with Conrad but he was hardly swooning over her. I'm just so over all the drama and longing and awkward crushes over chicks that really don't impress. I mean not for the level of dysfunction it creates. Eye of the beholder and all that and of course I understand a woman doesn't have to look like a Victoria Secret Model to be found attractive but I'm talking about how exaggerated these guys get over these HOHUM broads to the point of distraction. Now Rhylee and Tyler (almost) got it right. They found each other attractive and was all about the banging. They weren't gushing all over each other, it wasn't some whirlwind romance. They were feeling each other and got down to business. Too bad Tyler did the typical dude thing and overthought things and acted like Rhylee was proposing marriage because of a off hand comment about combining both their sea knowledge. But still. I find the "deep connection, strong attraction" angle so very corny and immature. I don't mind seeing them connecting and getting to know each other but I can't stand the automatic soul mate narrative, behavior that gets thrown around. Stop pretending that ya'll are trying to create something that going to last after the season is over by littering PDA's all over the place. Get your attraction under control. Act on it when appropriate and for all that is holy don't try to package it as some beautiful blossoming romance that you guys are going to be able tell your grandkids about. These delusion grate on my nerves.

I questioned Paget's judgment in having Ciara work late the first night and go by herself to pick up a boatload of drunken charter guests in the middle of the night...was so glad that Parker volunteered to work the next night.  

I know nothing about boats of this type and size, but it seems to me that they moor the boat by letting out the anchors, and one of the anchors had shifted a bit which allowed the boat to hit the dock.  Does that sound right?

Apparently the port-side bow anchor either dragged or worked itself loose. That left enough slack for the boat to drift toward the dock if the wind picked up. What Ciara could have done as a temporary fix would have been to throw a fender or two over the stern to keep the boat from hitting the dock. That wouldn't be a long-term fix but would have given her time to find some deck crew to re-set the anchor.

That was 1942 tequila - the same that these assholes were pounding back like swill.

I know nothing about boats but my initial thought was - can't she throw down one of those padded thingies?  

The editing of Paget repairing the damage also cracked me up.  It was like - oh an hour before charter, it's still all patched looking and then TA DA it looks perfect.  Do boats carry spare paint with them for such emergencies?

[Yours Truly]

I had such a physical reaction to the scene with Madison being manhandled. I was sooooooooooo disappointed when I noticed that Parker was distracted with the other guest and didn't see it at all. I really wanted to see what his knee jerk reaction to that would have been. Not only that but to be able to truly relate to Madison afterwards being that he would have experienced it as a witness. It takes on another form when you see something with your own eyes happen right in front of you. It would have been an eye opening moment for Parker. Not saying that Parker is a person that needs such a lesson but just in general. I think in order to really truly get men as allies in this cause they really need to see it in its raw form. Just how matter of fact it presents itself in any given situation just like that.

I just tuned in and haven't seen the first few episodes and it seems like Parker isn't anyone's favorite on that boat but since this episode and half of the last one is what I have to go on I have to say I like Parker so far. I'm especially pleased with how he suggested that he be put on the night watch instead of Ciara, recognizing that the men may very well be behaving badly so it would be better for him to take the shift. I thought that was very commendable and thoughtful. His foresight in that situation was rather professional and mature as well.

I hated how disgusting the men were. That guy being so defiant afterwards expressing a very threatening demeanor. "Don't tell anyone", "What's she gonna do call the Greek police". Basically saying, she's helpless and can't do a damn thing and he seemed pleased with that whole narrative. It sounded like he was revealing in the fact that he is able to violate the women on board with no argument or repercussions. That's shit hit me hard even at home. How repulsive and terrifying. Also, notice how the other charter asked Madison if she was ok when they went inside to get more drinks but it was in a tone that was more like "you good? Good, glad we understand each other" it was him feeling out her mood and then a reiteration on his part that she needs to play along and not go complaining to anyone. I totally caught that and it was a quick but very intimidating moment. She did what a lot of women do and have done for decades and decades. What we've been trained to do which is let it roll off her back, play it off, and not "overreact".  That shit pissed me off so bad.

Oh and let me add, she's much better than me cause that dude would have gotten an elbow to the neck the minute he lifted me up. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY is worth that and we really need stop pushing the idea that customers, clients, guests etc. are allowed to get whatever they want if they are paying for a service or product. In ALL industries. No, our million dollar client at our law firm DOES NOT get to behave lewdly around me just because we are all in some casual setting and I'm the only female in the room while the rest are having some harmless fun with some raunchy talk. No, the paying customer at Walmart does not get to disrespectfully invade my personal space while asking for a particular item. No, the guest staying in the Presidential Suite at the Hilton does not get to address me like their personal slave as I perform my duties cleaning the room and restocking items. 

We need to stop making bad behavior something that is acceptable when in the context of business transactions and money exchange. That's the biggest problem right there. We've made it okay for people to treat business as some sort of safe zone for degrading disrespect. It's not only in the service industry either. It's in any business. The client has enough money and that equals "anything goes" and that needs to stop. I shouldn't have to worry about my job because at the end of the day a business "can't afford" to have dissatisfied customers no matter how inappropriate these customers behave. But that's the world we live in and it sucks waaaaaayyyyy more for woman because of these parameters.

[psychoticstate]

Out of all the charter guests I've seen on the various versions of BD, this group of fuckwits was far and away the absolute worst.  And that says something.  

Were I the captain and I found out this was going on (the manhandling, the drunken behavior, the destruction), I'd turn that boat right around and tell them their sail is over and GTF off my boat.  

I doubt these guys will tip well but even if they did, Madison deserves an inordinately large share of the tip.  She's up dealing with their drunken bullshit, cleaning after them, cooking, while the rest of the crew is asleep.  

Jenna is the most worthless chief stew ever.  (Congrats, Hannah!  You've been unseated.)  Does she do anything chief stew-wise besides serve?  And does she even tell the guests what they're eating?  She seems to take the best schedule for herself (i.e., not working lates) and order Madison and Georgia around while she's busying making cow eyes at Adam in the galley.   Georgia isn't great either but she has absolutely zero direction from Jenna.  

With each episode, I like Parker more and more.  Paget seems so annoyed by Parker asking questions.  I don't get it  Asking questions is better than doing it wrong or doing nothing at all.  

[dleighg]

who pays for the DJ they brought back, and the extra food and booze the "girls" were consuming? And poor Parker having to cleanup up vomit from a non-guest for *&^&% sake.

Maybe that would be because you would be there to enjoy the whole experience - the boat, the views, the surroundings and being on the water.

These idiots just are interested in getting shit-faced drunk, showing off what "big" men they are, throwing their money around and picking up girls/hookers, again, to throw their money around.  Little dicks, little brains, little self-esteem - all wrapped up in big bravado.  If they didn't have each other to play off of, I wonder if they would act differently.

Seems like the anchor wasn't secure so the ship drifted and the anchor dragged so they lifted the anchor and replanted it?
