I'm going to go out on a limb here & predict that your title is 1000x better than anything Bravo comes up with.

It seems the crew is still disorganized. The meals were problematic. 

I assume they went to a crowded, public beach because it was close to the boat, and it was sandy. Beaches in Greece are normally public anyway. 

Please no more plate breaking. The Greeks don't do it. I guess some tourists still request/expect it. 

We are going to have a showdown between Ellie and Bri. Ellie pulling her rank on the boat sounded like a threat. Bri just said on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live which followed the episode that Ellie blocked her on IG. 

Gael said on the same WWHL episode that we will see later on the show what happened to her, and her boyfriend.

The tip was great, and it didn’t reflect the (mediocre) quality of the food.

Laughed at yet another new Sandy rule that the bosun can't stay for excursions/beach picnics. Since when exactly??

20+ seasons of below deck and we've seen a lot of bosuns on the beach, in the tender, hiking to waterfalls, etc.

Even worse was seeing Iain mischaracterize the direction to avoid taking any responsibility for the guests.

Has Jono worked as a chef on a yacht before? His comments about being self taught and finding a random grandma’s recipe make him seem quite inexperienced. Sandy as always does nothing to help. 
Iain the bosun is not leading his team. Failing to choose some games for the guests when he was told it was expected of him was laziness. The crew is losing any respect they had for him. 
Elle and Bri both said they didn’t care who ended up with Eyebrows guy. It’s bizarre to me that in any other environment hooking up would be frowned upon but because it’s a televised ship crew, they can behave like horny pigs.

I don’t watch this shitshow anymore exactly because of Cap’n Sandy, but I had to laugh at this too. Just who is supposed to oversee set up? Everybody bitches about what a PITA beach picnics are; the bosun at least directs the logistics of it while the stews deal with the food, entertainment, and guests. If everyone is off the boat, leave one from the deck crew and one stew behind. That is how it’s always been done, and it’s worked.

Who in the ever-loving hell would want to work for that woman? I can list all day long all the absolutely stupid “rules” she’s set down. I cannot stand her — she sets people up to fail constantly. You know that if something went wrong, the bosun would be the first to get blamed. See: Conrad’s season.

Typical beach picnic shit show but in the end the guests enjoyed themselves and raved about the food. BTW, next season she will emphatically expect the bosun to stay on the beach for the entire beach picnic, I believe that in my heart, lol.

Sandy just makes rules up on the fly, does she realize that rules would be better understood and mistakes would be avoided if she had a handbook that each department head got on the first day on the boat, just like an employee handbook, they would know her expectations and if it meant the bosun had to have eight people with eyes when the guests were on water toys then the bosun would have eight people a head of time, etc...Sandy likes to hear herself lay down the law, sadly after the fact it just looks like she is grasping at straws to cover her ass.

The plate breaking made me wonder if they dinged the wood deck, if small shards of glass could fly up and hit someone in the eye and are they going to forever see glints of ceramic slivers no matter how much they vacuum.  I think the movie Zorba the Greek is to blame for plate breaking, Hollywood did the deck crew dirty, lol.

Ellie finally said what I scream at the screen every season, she said she did not see any future in any hook up so it did not matter to her who got what guy, finally someone who admitted it!

Sandy is salivating over finding another chef.

Sandy is absolutely disgusting. She plays favorites and now that the bosun is on her shit list, for one of her dumb rules that was never mentioned before, she traps him on the boat.

A handbook would make sense so don’t expect anything like that from asshole Sandy. 
I thought Elle was being a douche. While what she said about nobody is going to end up with their boatmance made perfect sense, she also threw her weight around that she’s Bri’s boss so she gets first dibs on the penis. I think she’s disgusting and gross.

Which means when something goes wrong — as it will — he will get the blame. “They are YOUR crew!” “They are YOUR responsibility!!” I can hear that shrew now. Chief stew and bosun always go on beach excursions, for CYA purposes if nothing else.

Honestly, there have been people I’ve not really liked on these shows, but I keep watching anyway. But I just can’t with Sandy. Does she have that big of a fanbase that Andy keeps her around? If so, I’ve never seen it.

Has there ever been a successful beach picnic on one of these shows? I'm so tired of this. By now Aesha must have organized at least half a dozen of these things, how are they still so disorganized and unprepared? 

I can't believe Sandy lets Aesha call her "Sandy" even in front of guests. I realize they are friendly in real life but the last time someone called her "Sandy" instead of "Captain Sandy" they got fired for it. 

Ellie was practically giving Joe a lap dance while they were at the club dancing together, the way she was riding his leg. Ye Gods. Joe is not worth fighting over, ladies.

I think the show is reluctant to lose their one and only female captain, knowing it would be next to impossible to find another one to replace her with, and the cries of sexism that would no doubt be lobbed at them if they did fire her. Instead they play up her tough-talking persona like she's queen of the seas. (And Andy doesn't have any say in it, he doesn't run the shows and isn't a network exec anymore.)

She requested a standby chef. The first charter of guests loved his food. The second charter were repeat guests that had Eat My Cooter as their chef. This time, the primary does not like the chefs food. She went tattling to Sandy like a bitch that he served chicken and his spice is overwhelming. The next evening her royal highness attended the dinner and was underwhelmed. She called him to the bridge to warn him but he doesn’t seem to realize he is on notice.  
His food does seem mediocre for people with high opinions of themselves. 
Personally, I think Sandy has a problem with men that don’t kiss her ass enough to her liking. Last year it was Fraser and this year it’s Jono.

Sandy made up the rule about the Valium to fire Hannah even though Hannah  had a prescription for it. Last week she flipped out when the guest and one of the deck crew went off on paddle boards and got too far away from the boat. She told the bosun that there had to be someone from the deck crew following on the tender at all times when the guests were on the water toys.. I don't remember ever seeing this.

They will never not have firing plots in the BDverse.

Looks like Jono and Iain are up.  Bri was also on the chopping block but she may have survived the cut with the love triangle drama -- she's willing to answer whose dick she'd suck on camera so Bravo isn't going to let her go.

No matter how much you're paying for a meal or service, most people wouldn't directly criticize a dish like they had Gigi do on camera.  They must have set it up, make sure Sandy keeps asking the guests about how the dishes were.

No people would maybe leave a smaller tip or maybe go online and give a bad review but it's uncommon to go and call out the chef to his or her boss or coworkers.  Sure there are people who do it but they're asshats.

Whatever I bet they have someone who's done BD stashed in some Athens hotel, ready to take over.

The exterior drama if they actually have Iain replace by Joe would be the second consecutive BD show in which it happened.  Don't be afraid to come across as too formulaic Bravo.

 

As for the two women both wanting Joe, there's no shortage of young women with low self-esteem wanting to be on reality TV.  You just hope they're just playing along for the show, not actually lowering themselves and being filmed on TV.  Is this guy really worth it?

I don’t recall this either. The only similar situation was when a couple guests on the Ski-doos went into a restricted area and they had to be chased down because it was illegal for them to be there.

Don’t get me started on the Valium bullshit. She wanted Hannah gone and that was the easy way to do it. If she wanted to make a big deal about something, the vape pen would have been enough. The Valium was obviously prescription.

She makes up the rules as she goes along. Micromanager.

I don't either and I meant to comment on this last week. I agree with @Baltimore Betty - Sandy just makes up rules on the fly to cover her own ass. Also, this "bosun needs to be on the boat for safety reasons" is new too. What the hell for, if all the guests are on the beach? It's not like Iain can fix the engine if it breaks down, that's what the engineer is for.

Sandy creates new rules to avoid responsibility for her own actions (previous rules that failed).

They are not real ceramic plates. They are made of another material, (something that is a lot "softer") specifically in order to be smashed, so they wouldn't hurt anybody.

Hannah was a train wreck that season anyway.

As for Joe, he isn't worth the attention, but both Ellie and Bri were pissed at each other on Watch What Happens Live.

Oh, the drama!  The editors have it out for Iain, so he may not be long for this voyage.  I can see why Gael and Joe were upset about the beach picnic.  They didn't have the proper equipment to transport the supplies and no time to set up.  That was a big mistake, because the picnic was not guest ready.  Iain definitely needs to be more proactive for group excursions/entertainment.

Why they had the picnic on such a crowded beach?
They have done this before (not sure in which BD) and I always wonder why.
The advantage of having your own boat and dingey is that you can go to your own  empty beach that usually has no access except by the sea.
I was surprised about the red tape between the trees isolating the part of the beach for the BD guests. I am not sure this can happen legally except if you have asked permission from police.  Which is probably what the production did so they could have space for the volley ball game, etc etc. Actually without the police permission or even presence the owners of the beach chairs/cafe would had kicked crew and guests back to the sea. Organized beaches in Greece is like owned by Mafia.

In any case, this is no way a setting for a luxurious vacation. Nor the food is nor those two pathetic fellas that played (a wedding song at the beginning, lol) and sang and smashed the plates. As ZettaK already said, we do NOT smash plates anymore, except for tourists. Instead we throw a bazillion of flowers, usually taken the night before from cemeteries.
Has the production cut the budget? They don't really care anymore?  Both? :)

P.s. Who ever invented the "portable" slide for boats is a big big sadist!
p.s.2 Bosun honey, you really need to change hairstylist, it is like if your forehead will explode and an Alien baby will come from inside! Hmm..actually that would be quite watchable, an Alien eating guests and crew one by one and of course Sandy playing "Ripley". Hah! I vote yes!

I don't know about Greece but in many cities, there are film departments and they have well-defined fees that they charge to film and TV productions which want to shoot in their cities.

So they're suppose to apply for licenses to shoot in specific places.  Maybe they couldn't get one for a secluded place.  Some productions infamously shoot without getting permits but unlikely Bravo will do that and risk being banned from a popular place like all the Mediterranean countries.

In any event, it's probably not an accident that they had to schlep all the gear from where they were dropped off by the tender and where they set up.  They often set up picnics in difficult places like the top of castles which require carrying tables and chairs up several flights.

Again, it's to stress the crew so that they're more emotionally agitated.

They already are likely to be sleep deprived or have disrupted sleep patterns cramming into those bunk beds.

So they're irritable and tired and they pile on more physically demanding tasks like beach picnics which guests are often indifferent to at best.

The red tape was an indication Police was asked for permission. I am curious though, why they picked up the specific place, which was definitely not a setup for rich guests. One very possible explanation is the one you mentioned, although we have seen the crew effing up in deserted beaches as well. Another could be the logistics. Or maybe Greek police told them that they could only be present in a location like this one.

The other aspect was that the guests asked more than once when they were going to leave the boat to the picnic.

So maybe they were enthusiastic about the picnic, whereas previous guests were not.  Or maybe Gigi and her friends were playing along for the sake of the show.

But the actual picnic is at some public place and there were onlookers watching them pretending to have a real picnic while being filmed.

That can't have been a fun experience for them.

So at the end, they commented about not liking the food but still tip generously, another indication that the tips are fiction too.

This beach trip is quite the disaster. (as usual)  The guests seemed quite understanding and had fun.   Why pick a spot so far from the tender?

Iain was supposed to help set up and just bailed, then just surprise sprngs the guests on the crew  Bad Mgmt.  Then tries to weasel out of his self-made mess.

Jono lucked out with lunch, but dinner was another weird spice failure.  I hate to agree with Sandy, but she's right about the "some grandma's recipe" thing.  Tell 'em it's YOUR grandma's recipe.  They're not going to know.

Burnt lava cake LOL.

The music/dancers seemed to go over well.  Kinda scruffy.  What a mess with those broken plates.  Good thing they're not real.

Great tip though!

I don't think Jono has been face to face with these charter guests at all.

If the freezer is not working Jono knew about it prior to getting the ice cream or sorbet, tells Sandy it is not working and Sandy does not do a freak out because she did not know the second the freezer failed which is her usual MO, I'd be more worried about all the frozen things going bad.

I still shake my head at Oh No Jono's use of the word "deconstructed," cutting chunks of cake and putting them on a plate is not deconstructed, it was destructive, lol. 

Iian not wanting to deal with beach picnic games is not all that surprising because he probably never had to do it before and because I feel like Aesha should have the responsibility of entertainment/fun, Aesha could have told Iian to have certain games or equipment ready for the picnic and have his crew set it up.

Wouldn't it be great if they did a Golden Girls edition of Below Deck, they would know how to do laundry, clean and serve meals and I am pretty sure none of them would be trying to get with or fight over trying to sleep with any of the crew.

There are popular night clubs with live "bouzouki" music where people go and enjoy throwing little baskets with flowers on stage while the performers are singing. 
We are talking about lots of flower, they can cover the singer!
Each basket costs around 10-15 euros and there are nights where a single client can spend thousands of euros on them.
I used to have a client that was providing these night clubs with flowers that most of them came from funeral wraths (after the funerals of course). I am not kidding you! it is a way to recycle I guess. 
I include a video with the "flower throwing" to get an idea. This dude is the mega star of the kind.

So the white pile is made of the containers with the flowers inside?  I see someone in the background carrying trays of flowers.  They just chuck the container and everything?  I love having you and others in our group who are familiar with Greece and their customs.  ❤️

Yep, you got it right! It is one of our ways of entertainment, not my cap of tea.

Yes, but not all flowers are taken from cemeteries. There are the legitimate avenues/sources of wholesale stores, and nurseries.

He served melted ice cream twice. He shouldn't serve it if the freezer was not working.
