How long do we think it’s going to take Fraser to go ham on his crew mates who call him Frazier? Better yet, can it pretty please be Heather?! Such a pet peeve of mine to have people make little/no effort to call you by the correct moniker 😡

I've been waiting for this! 😆 
As someone who has had their name mispronounced (and misspelled) their entire life, it has become a pick my battles thing. Mine's a rather common name, too! I'm old now, and don't really care any more and will answer to whatever--unless the person saying it incorrectly is a butthead and I want to give them a hard time.

I was surprised Andy pronounced Fraser correctly on wwhl as he tends to mangle names. (Ariana on VP always always has her name said wrong, even by her Tom! )

Justin will needs a Camelbak bladder full of hard liquor with a long sipee straw to get him through the beach luau on Day 2 of this F*@kin' Booze Cruise. 

It is a testament to the realtors' daily hard drinking that none of the fully loaded guests hurled or passed out at any part of the day...

Sean and Curtis made the white dinner tolerable for Lee.

I hope this season picks up soon because right now everybody just seems somewhere between GROSS and boring.  I don't understand this love for Jake the crew has, he looks like Col Mustard to me.  

OMG Rahcel STFU already.  I'm already sick of her and her voice grates me!  

The crew and guests everybody just seems so vile to me =(

What a complete waste of a beautiful meal and bourbon pairing.  It was painful to hear Rachel describe the complexities of the food pairings to this group of inebriated idiots (Captain Lee and the gay couple excluded).  As far as them choosing which bourbon they wanted to taste, they could have been guzzling moonshine for all they knew!

I was just going to remark that I found Eddie superhuman in his graciousness to Rachel.  

 

I couldn't have been so convincing.  At best, I may have tried to meet Rachel in the middle.  "Maybe I should have addressed my feelings to you directly instead of the camera, but would it have made any difference?"  Nope, that's just more confrontation.  Ha.  I can't even write dialogue as soothing as Eddie's.

 

But now I see that people here believe Eddie's apology was scripted.  That's interesting.  Well, he's either a terrific apologizer or a very good actor.  

 

I wonder if there will be any footage of Rachel criticizing the guests for being so drunkenly obnoxious?

Is bourbon commonly consumed with food?

As opposed to wine?

I took notes for the next time I need one! It was a great apology. He didn't use an "IF I hurt your feelings.." or anything like that, I was listening for it. Rachel still didn't look happy, but what did she want? I personally don't feel he needed to give her anything. She was the one with the bad behavior last year.

Rachel owes last years cast an apology and she needs to thank them for getting her off of that stage before she butchered the Patsy Cline song she was requesting. (Walking After Midnight)

Not even remotely common to do so. This is a boatfull of douchebags the likes of which I haven't seen since that gross software guy in season one of Med, who loved DAnny the Deckhand, and made a return a season or two later. Just major league creep chills.

I thought the entire encounter was producer-mandated.  There was no reason for Eddie to apologize to her at all.  He literally couldn't talk to her at the time because she was shit-faced and embarrassing the boat.

I don't think it's these guests who came up with that idea.  I think the preference sheets are mostly producer-generated, all to cause stress on the cast so that they have some drama to film.

This whole dinner, with the white clothes and the bourbon is what the producers wanted.

Same thing for the luau they are going to have in the Caribbean.

Thank you for deciphering that particular scene! I've watched the reruns all summer/fall and STILL couldn't understand a word drunk Rachel was saying.

“She needs to go away now.”  The primary charter guest (Justin) is apparently ordering Heather to escort/remove/guide Terri to her room.  How quaint that we apparently live in such Medieval times.

 

I was seriously creeped out the way he said that without blinking ready to spring out of his chair at her. She needs to go away now, or WHAT exactly. It was scary.

I am not 100% team Heather but I also am giving Fraser the side eye. He seems overly salty to very low-key feedback. Heather was also taking responsibility (at least to his face). I generally find him amusing though so I’ll withhold judgment. I hope he and Heather find a groove. 

I'm with you. He's been very negative about her from the get go and some of his complaints about her instructing him? He isn't able to make a martini? And gets irritated that she wants him to be able to? I don't know. He just seems to be going from zero to 60 pretty quickly.

Jason from KY. Winner of his season on Holiday Baking Championship. 

Actually, he was also the winner of Next Food Network Star.

But I think you may be onto something - haven't seen him on the baking shows of late, and baking was Jason's forte.

Thanks for reminding me of his additional win! I *thought* he was on two iterations of a Food Network show but was too lazy to look it up LOL

I've always wondered if those golf balls they hit off the back of the boat are biodegradable. Nice to know they are. Also, it's a wonder those drunken guests didn't fall off the boat trying to hit them.

Not for lack of me praying to whatever ocean gods/mermaids/manatees are responsible for dragging unwary people off the deck and drowning them, I assure you!

Hmm I think our prayers may have crossed streams, because I was praying one of the idiots would fall into the pig roasting pit. 😂
