S02.E12: Swing Shift

[OnceSane]

Quote

Adam's prank goes awry; Wes avoids Adam; demanding Texans turn a one-day charter into an eternity; Malia jeopardizes a routine anchor drop; Bobby and Malia clash over their responsibilities; a flirtatious friendship develops between former rivals.

 

[ShawnaLanne]

Hey Fugly,  last charter everyone still hated Hannah. That's your real problem. Last charter we all came together. She's the kind of shipmate who ends up getting a beat down half way through a cruise. 

Ha. Ha.  Ha.  Malia and Wes are getting it from the Captain. 

So,  third stew doesn't know what's going on with Hannah,  but she's not sitting on her ass. Fugly knows.

Malia is definitely not winning deckhand of the week with her antics on board with such a small crew but Hannah completely blaming her and giving Adam a pass is bull. 

Stop whining Fugly!

Dur,  Adam. Yes you misdirected your anger. Though Bobby and what's his name still have valid anger for Wes. So unprofessional.

It makes your nether parts taste sweet. 

I think Malia thought she'd get the feminist pass. "I'm just a strong woman being disrespected because I'm pretty." And if she hadn't hooked up with her last two bosses, she, if she'd still earned a promotion, would have. But you can't claim sexism while using your sexuality to advance.

Well Bugs sure does know how to complain about everything, now doesn't she? For all I could say about her, I would never take Hannah as someone who shirked her responsibilities. And yes, it is totally possible for her to be super busy doing things you don't see, Other Person Whose Name Escapes Me At The Moment.

Speaking of shirking responsibility, Malia sure knows how to pretend she has no agency in a situation, doesn't she? I hate the false equivalency on these shows, that "I'm being HONEST" absolves you of any responsibility in the outcome of a situation.

Jax and Britney. Oh boy.

[ShawnaLanne]

Oh my God, Malia! .."I'm a little confused because it feels like I'm being challenged and not doing a good job." .. From the Captain. I guess we know for sure now exactly why she got the job. Twit. 

[ShawnaLanne]

Oh Malia,  shut up. Shut up.  Shut up.  SHUT UP! Shut the duck up twatface. Stop making me side with Bobby!

Okay Hannah. You did/do like Adam.  Eww. 

Fugly and Malia are funny as heck though as a front of women giving other women a bad name and again,  eww  Hannah.

When the guest Dr Q asked one of them to shut up because he didn't want to hear accents I was snickering because most of them had an accent and Texas has its own language and twang. Is there an accent for upper class rich snob? 

[Michichick]

Sweet baby Jesus, what a train wreck. Hannah wants Adam? Ugh, he's gross. And Malia is no prize. I laughed when she got all stompy at the end when both Adam and Wes weren't paying attention to her.

I thought he told Bobby not to talk, because they DID want to hear accents.

[Neurochick]

What Malia doesn't get is, nobody's saying she can't date two guys, who work with her on the yacht at the same time.  Malia doesn't get that actions have consequences.

I am sick of Bugs whining, you are not chief stew, so shut your pie hole.

Hannah doesn't want Adam, Hannah was drunk and she and Adam were fucking with Malia's mind.  I laughed when she whined, "I can't believe none of these guys are talking to ME."  She hates not being the center of male attention.

Adam, you are a joke.  I hope Hannah sobers up and stops with him.  She has very poor judgement whe she drinks.

Good for Wes.  Just shun the idiot.  Professionally, that's the only thing you can do, as much as you want to kick his ass.  That non-apology "apology" was lame.

Sorry Malia, you are not blameless in this.  You can't pull this shit in close quarters like that.

Hannah negotiated that very well.  She still needs a chef.

Rise and shine kids!  Shut up Bugs.  Rank has it's privileges.  I was rooting for her to hook up with Mr. Orange Shorts and get busted.  She is a class A complainer.

I've never seen them unpack the guests things before.  That seems odd.

Nice going Malia! You get your big promotion and promptly screw up and piss off the captain!  She'll be back with Adam before the season is over.  I like aggressive Sandy.  Then she feels she's "being challenged" and "it's not FAIR".  Suck it up sweetie and do your job.  That in no way takes away from the fact that Bobby is still an asshole.

Lauren makes another U-turn and turns on Hannah.  Booking flights for strangers can't be easy, especially with "someplace warm" for a destination.  Dubrovnik is not exactly a major hub.

Interesting gaggle of guests.  I don't get why serving lunch at the table was a problem.  The woman with the short dark hair was hilarious! Swingers!  That was hysterical.

Adam's food looked much better tonight.

$1360 for one day's work is damn good.

Then the bar scene degenerates into high school pettiness.  Mean girls and dickheads all around.

So while Hannah was working in the guest rooms that she designated to Bugsy and Lauren. What were Busy and Lauren gonna be doing?

[Mindthinkr]

Was Hannah really succumbing to Adams charms or was she putting on a show because she felt for his hurt feelings?  I did like that he noticed, when she slightly toppled backwards, that giving her an escort back to the boat would be a good idea. The kiss...well

Exactly what Hannah was doing. Lauren is just all over the place and doesn't know what she's talking about. Fugly jumped on that to try to create problems. Fugly is not someone I'd want to work on a boat with. She's a whiny, sneaky, vicious, envious backstabber.

Thank goodness this is the last charter coming up! No one's showing their good side and Lauren goes back and forth like no other; totally Switzerland! She ought to go for citizenship! With her it's "love the one you're with!" ;-)

[breezy424]

Well, Malia really didn't screw up on the anchor.  She's just short.

With that said, she really did screw up with Adam and Wes.  She played a game.  If she wants to be with both of them, so be it, but don't BS these guys along.

Apparently, Bugs is the best chief stew in the world.  But yet she accepted a job as second in command.  Deal with it.  And, as a chief stew, she should know that others don't always know what the chief stew has to deal with and is not required to account to the staff.

Shut up Bobby.  You're just so immature and annoying.  I agree with what Malia said to him.

Hannah was drunk that last night out.  Yep.  Better to have a congenial relationship with the chef and there was a whole lot of game playing going on.  She can't win with Bugs and Malia isn't all that important in her professional world.

Swingers aside, that was a weird group.

Hannah was just live on instagram.  She said the kiss with Adam was non sexual.  She's not into Adam at all.

It just showed what a dirtbag he is. The sorry excuse that Malia was distracting him from his job is B. S. His storyline was screwed so now he has to work is what happened.  Also,  be real,  Ben is a walking mattress and while he has his off days,  he does a good job. Adam always seems to be looking for am easy out. Him saying oh,  I guess I should do a fusion Thai fusion, Asshole,  bring your a game all the time!

This is exactly how Lauren started on the show. She was messy and shady. I know that Hannah was having her issue with Bugs, but it was a mistake for her to confide in Lauren. Shut up Lauren! Booking their travel from their nowhere town to someplace warm was a literally impossible task. 

Shut up Bugs! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

[biakbiak]

Hannah deciding that the only reason Adam doesn't suck as a human and a chef because he was just hung up on Malia is beyond ridiculous. I think Malia is being shady and not honest despite what she shouted at Max but Adam is an adult with enough experience to handle his shit and disappointment better than he is handling it. Not that Malia is handling the situation much better.

I wish Max would have just stayed out of it because why I think he does have a valid reason with regards to Wes dating a subordinate and then giving her a promotion without informing the Captain of his conflict of interest laying all the blame for this mess on Malia is unfair with all three behaving poorly and creating the tension/mess of the situation.

I want to know more about the situation with the lines between Bobby and Malia because it was edited so choppily but it did look like Bobby was flaking the lines they way they always do and that she was annoyed that the Captain took her off the bow and was trying to just assert her authority because she could rather than doing it because Bobby was doing it incorrectly.

[CaliforniaLove]

Good for Adam for recognizing the "high end" clothing of the guests, meaning he would upgrade his planned "Tex Mex"...guess he didn't think it might also warrant him removing the camo ball cap.

[diadochokinesis]

Oh, Malia...  Tonight was not a good look for her. So, her getting pissy at the end because neither boy was paying attention to her really reinforced to me that she was cognizant of what she was doing with them. She is one of those women that thrive off of playing boys off each other and the drama of the triangle. I also thought it was very telling about her comment about how Captain Sandy was giving her a hard time and she was lead deckhand and didn't deserve that.  No, your captain gets to criticize you whenever you do something wrong--no matter what your position is or how you earned it. I also thought her little spat with Bobby showed an immature side of her. She is very immature for being 26. Before I found that out, I thought she was around 19. She reminds me of my days as an RA in college working in an all girls freshman dorm. She was the girl that drove me nuts and I wished would just move out. 
 

Max...  I still adore Max. 

 

Oh Bugs...  Shit stirring Bugs.  So, Hannah can do no right with her. She doesn't get along with Adam and Bugs snarks about it. Hannah gets along with Adam and Bugs snarks about it. Hannah does no work. Bugs does all the work!  When Hannah was pulling the late shift, Hannah was taking the easy shift and did no work. When it got switched then all of a sudden Bugs was taking the hardest shift and doing all the work. So, which is it?  Oh, that's right.  It is just Bugs hates Hannah and will take any position (no matter how hypocritical) to justify her irrational hatred of her.

Co-sign 100%. That scene of her pouting while walking back to the boat was very telling. 

 

While her comment regarding Captain Sandy smacked of entitlement, I do think Wes kind of set the stage for that by phrasing things last week that Sandy picked Malia.

 

Also? Showing drive and initiative does not mean you just stop learning, Malia! 

[snarts]

Funny how Captain Sandy is applauded for training the deckhands by letting them take the boat off the dock but Hannah asks Bugs if she wants to lead lunch service and it's somehow shirking her responsibilities.  Bugs is a whiny little troll, nothing will make her happy.  Lauren too for playing into that crap.  

Malia is extremely immature.  I agree she's one of those girls that lives for the drama.  Her disappointment that both Wes & Adam were talking to other people was telling.  I was actually surprised that she didn't go in on Bobby.

Still, Adam?  No.  There's something way off about that dude.

But Hannah told him that they could play/trick a little Malia (making her "jealous". And that worked, as she was this little whiny pouty girl when they all get back to the boat), so I took it as a part of the "lesson" they both wanted to give her... :D

Bugs.... What can I say ? She reminds me SO MUCH of one of my colleagues, the one arrived after me, who goes to everyone who wants to listen and telling them that : "she works" (Darling, we're at the office... we're ALL here for the same reason....) and that she does work so much better than [name her target of the week here], etc...

Bobby : when you sounds legit, it really means that the situation is bad, lol !

Wes : I hope you'll understand the "assholery" of Adam when reading those text exchanges between Malia and him

Malia : go eff yourself and play with anybody suits you, but, please, stop playing the victim and own it... And using the "pretty female deckhand" card... Bitch, please !

I think @Avon.Blakes7 was mocking Lauren. Lauren acts like she's not taking sides. I think she's even said that she wasn't going to take a side a couple of times, but instead she's siding with whomever she is around.

 

This was once again a demonstration of Bugs' fugly personality. I get that she's convinced that she's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but quit bitching about Hannah. I sympathized completely with Hannah's "get me a direct flight somewhere warm" dilemma. I've been there. My boss had to go to California from the Alabama Gulf Coast to be fingerprinted as part of a state license for the business and I was told to figure out how to make it happen. I brought him a list of 4 cities where I could arrange a fingerprint tech to meet him at the airport to get this done. He looked at me and told me "No." Since that wasn't the answer to the question "Do you want to go to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Diego?" I asked what he wanted to do. He wanted a set of flights that defied the laws of physics. It took a solid 2 days to get the whole thing sorted out to something he'd accept. The guest this episode was just as demanding and impossible.

I'm not familiar with yachting protocols but is Captain Sandy allowed to have people walk the plank?

Because I have a fistful of suggestions.........

[esco1822]

Ohhhhh Malia, you don't get to have it both ways.  You don't get to be patted on the back for telling both guys you just want to keep things professional and then get to complain when they are paying attention to other girls. You literally told them you weren't interested.  It's this kind of crap that gives women a bad name though I do not subscribe to Max's theory about bar fights being mostly about women messing with men's heads. I have a love/hate relationship with Max. I just want to smack him when he says dumb sh*t like that. 

I really hope we get a reunion for this show this year, there's a lot that needs to be broken down.

[Hockeymom]

So I guess I'm defending Bugs. I think in the beginning she was there to do a good job. Remember when her grandmother died, she just put her head down and pushed through it. 

To me, she lost respect for Hannah early on. While I do like Hannah, she shoots herself in the foot on a regular basis. Getting sloppy drunk with the crew just diminishes her authority. Sure, rank has its privileges. But, if you are going to be the boss, then be the boss. It might take a little self control. You can't party with your staff, let them see you staggering, and then claim rank while you nurse a hangover. If they see you as weak, they will start questioning your competence. As we see, it creates resentment.

Would anyone on the boat respect the captain if she were swaggering around every bar in port with her crew? She retains authority by behaving like a professional. Sure, go have dinner, maybe a cocktail, then excuse yourself and go home. 

And because Bugs has held that position, she does understand the job requirements. She knows what may be keeping Hannah occupied elsewhere. 

No one is more of a pain in the ass to work with than a person who used to have your job. Hannah is smart enough to know that. She should be cultivating Bugs, not giving her ammunition.

I think there must be a difference in the yachting industry (or at least on BD) because we regularly see the Bosun and Chief Stew go out with the rest of the crew when at port. Now, I do agree that she is a sloppy drunk and that makes people lose respect for you.

She's a disgruntled employee. That's how they behave. Bad management causes bad attitudes.

[ivygirl]

I understand being frustrated and disgruntled but that doesn't excuse her from that iPad stuff. And at a certain point, with a bad manager, you either have to find a new job or learn to deal with it. I doubt Bugs would cut out in the middle of a charter season, but she is STILL whining at every turn, so she'd probably do well to keep quiet and keep her nose to the grindstone and get through the season. Future employers will now see this and think she's nothing but (or not much more than) an insubordinate whiner. True leaders don't whine about coworkers all the time, especially TO coworkers DURING work.

 

besides, why complain that your manager had a BETTER relationship with someone she'd been antagonistic towards?

Malia griping at the end about how neither Adam nor Wes is paying attention to her says it all.  Malia is an asshole.  She doesn't care how her flirting/kissing/fucking/whatever with both of them and whoever else on the boat affects not only them but everyone else around you.  God love Max for his going off at her.  She totally deserved it.  FWIW, I don't think she cares about either Adam or Wes.  She just likes the attention and I think she's thoroughly enjoying the sword fight they are engaging in for her attention.  

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I don't understand what the big deal is with Malia.  She's cute but she's not THAT cute.  And she seems to want to antagonize both of them.  

I know it's a bunch of crap but I did delight in how pissed she was getting over Adam and Hannah getting cozy.  Apparently it's okay for her to get cozy with Wes in front of Adam and he should be okay with it but how dare Adam do that in front of her.  Malia's an asshole. 

Lauren is two faced.  Shocker.  

Bugsy is probably asking for trouble confronting Hannah next episode about how much work she (Hannah) is or is not doing.  You're at the end of charter season; suck it up and just finish it out.

Captain Sandy for the win!

I understand being frustrated and disgruntled but that doesn't excuse her from that iPad stuff. And at a certain point, with a bad manager, you either have to find a new job or learn to deal with it. I doubt Bugs would cut out in the middle of a charter season, but she is STILL whining at every turn, so she'd probably do well to keep quiet and keep her nose to the grindstone and get through the season. Future employers will now see this and think she's nothing but (or not much more than) an insubordinate whiner.

 

besides, why complain that your manager had a BETTER relationship with someone she'd been antagonistic towards?

 

The iPad stuff - again. So everyone is angry with Bugs for not running to the captain with the iPad. But if she did, she would have been a "snitch". There should have been no texts to begin with. Her superior officer was behaving badly - blatantly breaking the rules. You don't give a rival information with which to hurt you, and then complain she wasn't being a "friend". Hanna's not here to make friends, remember?  

I believe she was mocking the Hannah / Adam smoochfest because it was so clearly a drunken stunt. And again, Hannah needed to be escorted home because she literally couldn't stand on her own two feet. 

As for no future employers hiring her, I'd hire Bugs in a minute. Lauren is useless. Hannah is looking for love, and eager to throw herself at anything. Her "standards" go out the window the minute she gets a little attention - or a cocktail.
