Dealing with drunk people is no fun even when they’re not feral, and he has no love for her at all. I have never understood the whole “let’s get wasted!” prideful tribe, but I also forget how young some of these people are and the lifestyle they’re embracing. I think he also didn't want to get in a situation where Rachel might get angry and physical with him. Avoiding a possible violent altercation was definitely the smart way to go. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6545279

He's not afraid to rein in a drunk male that's being an asshole (Dane), but Rachel is a whole different situation. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6545343

He handled the situation with Elizabeth and James much more tactfully than Francesca was planning to do. Yes, Elizabeth is frustrating, she rarely does her job fast or correctly, but there are steps to addressing issues. Don't immediately run to Captain Lee crying. The new guy, Dave? So strange...... 😳 I also am impressed with the strides that Eddie has taken. Just like night and day from his previous stints a few years ago. He has become a very competent and professional manager. New guy is Rob. I have worked with a lot of geologists during my career, and many of them are......strange. 3 3 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6545391
lcarolynl January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 Rachel is extremely volatile. I wouldn't want to try to get her off the stage either. What is with her hard on for Elizabeth? She is taking a very close interest in with whom Elizabeth sleeps. I find her choice of clothing a refreshing change of pace. She's not dressing to impress anyone and linen is a very comfortable choice for the tropics. Sure it wrinkles but...linen wrinkles. I think it's perfectly appropriate. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6545419

Miami in the late 1970’s. He said it was a family recipe. They were like a delicate flat golden grilled omelette, perfectly spiced and incredibly delicious with copious hunks of fish that burst with flavor. They cost a dollar and one was enough for lunch. I can still taste their perfection to this day. Damn, now I’m hungry.

dleighg January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 There's a game Elizabeth is playing, even if she doesn't realize it. Francesca tells her to go take a short break to rest her feet. Elizabeth says "no no, I'm fine, I want to keep working." A few minutes later there she is with her feet up, gabbing with the guys. It's like she wants to show Francesca she's working hard, but doesn't REALLY want to work hard. Francesca was right-- if you're going to take a break, tell me you're doing it, don't try to have it both ways. And what is this thing about horseback riding on the beach? Bucket list? Really? 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6546105

aqusdealer January 13, 2021 Share January 13, 2021 Elizabeth seems to be her own worst enemy. She worked pretty hard one day. Her feet were sore and she mentions it. Francesca maybe in a (complementary olive branch moment) says: "take a break, put your feet up." "OH NO I'm toughing it out" Elizabeth replies (paraphrasing). Then she does it anyway! Later she says: "just don't fire me" I can't figure her out. Does she like the money? Does she like being on TV? Is she just not getting the work ethic on a boat? What is it? :) 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6546942

Bossa Nova January 19, 2021 Share January 19, 2021 I am a week late here on posting about this episode, but I really found it cathartic when Captain Lee kicked Delores off the boat. In fact it was the emotional venting needed on so many ugly American entitled obnoxious tourists on these many Below Deck seasons. Hubby and I watched the Delores exit twice, it was so good. Her remark, upon learning of her impending boat exit summed it up: ".....but I paid for it. " Translation: Money entitles me to be an asshole. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6556589
Teri313 January 23, 2021 Share January 23, 2021 Why did Lee make everyone ruin their sleep patterns to take turns doing 1-hour watches over Delores? Wouldn't it make more sense to have one person do it, like anchor watch? That all seemed just a bit dramatic to me. Also, I get why he was pissed at her, but his reaction seemed way over the top. I think his cowboy boots were too tight. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6563322

I like the older but wiser Eddie....next Captain Lee in the making.... Ugh, I thought after five years I'd be safe from any more of that psycho flirting and Woody Woodpecker-laughing her way across my TV screen. Eddie does seem to have shaped up in the intervening years, at least. I think Delores better be damn glad there were cameras on her when she made her second dive off a boat. She was just begging to be Natalie Wooded. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114357-s08e11-blood-in-the-water/page/2/#findComment-6567746
