Meh, I don't know but I feel overdosed on all the gay/lesbian/ trans whatever Bravo feels like they've got to bring on board this season.  I don't want to see grown men with beards in glittery makeup and sparkling evening dresses and boas lurching around lip syncing to a song.  I think this boat has run aground.  I want to see rich people being served wonderful, exotic dishes and drinks, I want to see the fabulous clothes they wear, I want to see their shore excursions, I want to FEEL like I'm on that boat and rich!  That's how this series started out but it seems they've taken it to a different level.  Tonight's show with Kyle just made me feel dirty.  He's got some big issues with himself that didn't appear until Sierra rejected him and then he 'came out' and boy did he!  I feel sorry for him because if she'd have liked him back then I doubt he'd have even mentioned the transsexual person he had been dating for 2 yrs.  How furious he got at her for rejecting him!  That boy has issues.

 

Put me in the group that doesn't understand what exactly is so appealing about Emily.  I actually felt sorry for her the first time I saw her!  She's so bugged eyed and rabbity.  (sorry Emily)  And with those dark glasses I just don't get the appeal!  I'll admit she has a good body when dressed up and with very high heels on, otherwise... what am I not seeing?!

Omg thank you. You stated everything I feel, and better than I could have expressed it.  Except for Emily's figure- it's too twiggy and formless for my taste. But minor point.

Can't Bravo find some interesting guests? The kind with Notorious behavior?I think that would help.

Sadly, I think Bravo still believes that drag shows and gay people are 'strange and interesting' instead of normal regarding drag shows as most cities have clubs that have clubs for that, and out gay people are the people who one interacts with on a regular basis. I totally called it on Lauren and Nico becoming more and more douchey by the week so yay me. Emily's beauty is lost on me but the rabbit resemblance grows stronger with every shot: props to her dad. From what I've read about UK people and class I suspect she has the correct pedigree for acceptability for Ben's family, which makes her cuter in their eyes. As for Ben, he didn't look terrible naked, just not impressive.

I am so disappointed in Lauren. She acted like the master suite was her personal space. I would have left if I were Kyle so that if anything got damaged (like the wall did), he could at least say he wasn't there.

Why just Lauren?  Nico was acting the same way too.

I think Ben and Emily being together (if that's true) proves that when it comes down to it, people do stick to their "tribes."  BTW, I think Emily looks more and more like a rabbit each episode; hopefully Ben won't put her in a pot and cook her.

I have to agree they seem to be going for that angle a lot this season, first making a big deal about Kate dating a woman, then Kyle being bisexual and dating a transgendered woman, plus there were quite a few gay charter guests and the drag show this season. It's like they think the viewers will be "shocked" at these revelations or something and TBH I don't think anyone cares that Kate is dating a woman or whatever. They think this kind of thing is still supposed to be shocking and interesting to us and it's not. I don't care that Kate is dating a woman or that Kyle is bisexual. In general they are focusing too much on the crew relationships, like everyone going after Emily. Snooze. I watch the show to see how people work on a yacht and maybe see some obnoxious or demanding charter guests give them a bit of a challenge. The crew's romance lives aren't really why people watch the show. It's not Vanderpump Rules.

Keep. It. To. The. Show.  If you have a problem with a post, report it, don't engage.  Suspensions are next for those who cannot follow the rules. 

[BogoGog24]

I don't believe Captain Lee really writes his own blogs but regardless the crew really should know better about behaving on the boat, knowing he's going to see all this later. How dumb can they really be? Now does anyone know if Captain Lee actually has the ability to fire anyone or does only Bravo get to do the hiring and firing? Because he claims in this blog he supposedly wrote that Ben, Nico, Kyle, and Lauren would all have been fired. Let's see if any of them return next season. I don't count on any of the deck hands returning but Ben has been part of the crew since the beginning, hasn't he? Will be interesting to see if he returns next season.

Because I expected Nico to be a disrespectful idiot - he comes off very clueless. I did not expect that of Lauren based on what I've seen of her.

Funny though, Andy has actually said on WWHL that Below Deck is "VR but on a beautiful yacht".

I do not really like that he put some of the blame on Emily about Ben serving the conch. She said it would not bother her, but Ben is ultimately the one who decides whether or not he is going to serve something. I do not see Emily as someone who would have cared if Ben decided not to serve the conch. 

I am sure Nico and Lauren will blame Kelly for not having their backs regarding their behavior in the master suite and they will blame Kate even though problems with the interior is her problem.

I wish some of the other crew members would get Bravo blogs. I think Captain Lee can claim he would fire them all, but I doubt it. Hell, he should have fired Rocky last season and she stayed the whole time.

In case you missed it, here's the Previously.TV post on the episode!

Below Deck Gets Bitchy

Ben literally shows his ass, Sierra figuratively shows hers, and Lauren and Nico board the Fireball express.

This is kind of off-topic and you all are going to probably think I'm nuts, but it's been driving me nuts that Ben reminds me of someone.  It's Robert Downey, Jr. from his Ally McBeal days . . . certainly not present day, but back then.

Was Captain Lee on WWHL somewhat recently? I got the impression from Ben's tweets that comments Captain Lee made on there set Ben off.

Yeah he and Kate were on two weeks ago. I didn't see it so I don't know what he said.

This cast is a bunch of freaks.  Nico and Lauren drink like fish  and I wouldn't be surprised is there was some hanky panky going on at times.  Kyle really did not need to share his plans for his alone time in the master suite.  I could have lived a fulfilling life without knowing his masturbation schedule.  I feel like things are going a bit off the rails at this point in the charter season with Ben getting naked, Kyle "wanking off" or trying to, Sierra giving googly eyes and fighting with people and of course Lauren and Nico trashing the interior while shit faced.

I'm pretty sure Nico and Lauren would have been down for a threesome with Kyle.

I'm going to admit- they may be kind of incompetent, but I'm LOVING this iteration of the cast. Just hysterical. This Kyle kid is hella interesting. His look when Sierra called him a queen had me laughing.

I am missing something about Kyle.  Is there something not working about the toilet in his bathroom?  Does his shower not work?  Was there no toilet paper on the boat?

The issue wasn't that he couldn't find a place to wank.  He couldn't find a place to watch a porno and wank.  He didn't even get to do that in the master bedroom, didn't he?

He could be as classy as Emile who told Connie to leave their bunk 10 minutes early so he could wank.
