S3.E4. Kiss and Don't Tell

[ZettaK]

Anthony puts Tzarina in a bind causing her to crack under pressure; Harry's fate on Katina is determined after knowing the extent of his injury; Marina asks Wihan on a date, sparking tension between her and Tzarina.

First aired on 2/24/2025.

[aghst]

Now they show Tsarina feeling pressure, even though she handled the previous season by herself.

Then she and Jason have a disagreement about the crew meals on the day off, after he was blunt about the dishes she served the night before.

I don't know it seems they want to show her having a meltdown.

Now they have a love triangle situation with Tsarina and Marina both supposedly interested in Wihan.   Would co-workers blatantly pursue someone fancied by a co-worker?  This cast hasn't known each other that long but just to avoid drama?  

Or maybe the point is to increase the drama.  At the end of the episode, you hear Tsarina's voice calling Marina a backstabbing bitch.  But you don't see her face saying it so they could have looped that in afterwards.

Also, how would Tsarina not know Wihan and Marina were going out on a little date?  The camera crews must be following them, including when they were on the boat.

As far as the other hookups, they don't waste time this season, this is only the second charter and you have 2 or 3 couplings lining up.

It's a big deal now that Harry and Brianna supposedly like each other because she's a runway model.  Aren't they suppose to be tall, like 5-10 or taller?  In any event, she's making up cabins on a boat, unless she wants to be on the show to boost her social media profile or something.

Maybe she is that tall because Lara is teasing Brianna about her and Harry having baby giraffes.

The producers don't seem to like Erik, the primary charter guest who's a life coach and he's dispensing advice constantly to the other guests.  The crew don't seem impressed with him, the stupid things he keeps saying.

But how did they pick up him saying he gave the best exit speech when he was off the boat and entering the taxi?  Does he still have a microphone on him?

Or did they also loop him in afterwards, though why would he participate, considering that he comes across looking ridiculous, with the crew and the other guests rolling their eyes at him.

I think she is tall but standing next to Harry she looks short, everyone does, lol.

Harry is so knocked out by the fact Brianna is a runway model he hasn't realized that currently she is cleaning toilets and making beds, so not a full time model unless like @aghst said, maybe Below Deck is just doing it for more social media followers, like most of the women on this show have done.

That primary was nuts, his dinner time prayer about being blessed to be so good looking? He must be exhausting to be around.

Tzarina making French Onion Soup in that heat and humidity was just mean, lol. Why not make cold soups or skip the soup all together and make an interesting salad.  And yes, she is the sloppiest cook I have ever seen, her kitchen looks like it was ransacked!

I have a theory about Tzarina defying or doubting Capt. Yummy's orders about crew meal, she probably thinks if she hooks up with somebody she will have a better chance of staying on the show if her cooking isn't up to par.

The hot tub game of Truth or Dare was so juvenile, it was cringe to watch, it may be the reason I stop watching.

I was happy to see the primary tool and his group of fluffers leave.

[meep.meep]

I enjoyed two different couples leaving the boat to have normal getting-to-know-you dates, rather than drunkenly hooking up.  I get the impression that Marina doesn't drink so of course skips the entire hot tub scene.

If it's so hot that guests are complaining at dinner, why don't they set up some fans or eat inside where presumably there is AC?  It sounded like the crew really appreciated the AC in the vans going to dinner so it must really be hot!

This primary was truly something with his self adoration.  His "friends" must like what he can buy.

I'm so tired of this too. It's got to be prompted by production, it has become the focus of this show. Yes, it's so juvenile and ridiculous, daring each other to kiss - what are they, in 7th grade? OMG. They need to cut this out. I don't get why this show seems to think crew hookups should be the focus. 

I didn't get Tzarina's meltdown over the crew meals. Jason told her whatever they already had was fine and she didn't need to make any more. Why was she so upset about that? He gave her a break, she should be grateful. I didn't understand her explanation about how the crew goes out drinking on an empty stomach. That's not on her. There's plenty of food, the crew isn't helpless, they can fix themselves something before they go out.

That made me laugh.  I think he gave his “speech” to the deck crew before handing over the tip envelope and leaving, but they edited it out.

Trust me when I say from experience that he'll get sick of dating a model sooner rather than later.

Tzarina's one of those people who are seemingly never happy, always irritated by someone/something. Plus, she gives off stage 5 clinger vibes. 

The departing charter guest was something else. The constant talk of fasting was off putting. Eat, don't eat, just shut up.

His explanation of not feeling well so he stops eating until he feels better was so dumb, if you stop eating your blood sugars crash and that can make you feel really bad so he is never going to feel better, lol.

I did notice that he seemed like he was trying to slow himself down when he spoke like his engines were running but was trying to pump the breaks, was he on something?

I have said this before and I will say it again, Tzarina isn't happy unless she is miserable.

Also, her parents named her Tzarina, she is far from a queen or princess or any other ruling royal. They must have had high hopes for her, lol.

Every time Jason says her name it sounds like he's saying Serena. I wonder if he even knows her name, LOL. (Probably just the accent.)

Also, who puts the grilled cheese sandwich in the soup? Even Capt Jason looked a bit flummoxed at how to eat it with his spoon. 
Her kitchen looks like a hurricane hit it when she’s done cooking. No wonder the sous chef was tired of washing dishes and cleaning up after her. I’d bail too  

I think she has time management issues. I clean as I go. It’s not that hard.

The Watch What Crappens guys pointed out that Tzarina looks like Ruth Buzzi, and now I can't unsee it.

I think I missed that part, but don't people dunk their grilled cheese into the soup?

I too am a clean as I go type person, but Mrs. Shrek is a pile it up & clean it all at once type. I stay out of the kitchen if she's in there as it drives me crazy & all I want to do is clean up & then I just end up getting in the way. 

I love French onion soup & sometimes have it when it's over 100 degrees so I would have been over the moon with it being served no matter the temp. I also hate any cold soup as well as tomato soup so there's that as well.

I think all of the BD galleys get messy.

You have one chef cooking all the meals for guests and crew.  That's a contrived situation, for the purpose of showing chaos and potentially causing drama.

So you often have stews or deckhands doing dishes constantly.
