Adrian's food continues to amaze me.  Every time I watch this season, I get hungry.  Unfortunately, I get to have some chips or pretzels.  Not his fabulous food.

SO glad I'm not the only one-it is like watching Shahs to me.  I had a cheese stick and was very disappointed it wasn't his food.

Oh the food porn on Shahs. With MJ’s wedding next week it will be interesting to see who wins the food war. Our Unicorn or the wedding buffet.

I want to know if he really served fois gras as a main course? There were no additional courses shown after that one. Fois gras is so rich, I heard of it as a main for lunch with a salad but can't imagine it being my primary meal. 

On his Twitter, Adrian said it was a six course meal & they didn't show all of it.  (He also said that the primary requested french fries after the 3rd course and ramen after the dessert.)  I am kinda bummed that we aren't seeing more of his food; it's always pretty interesting and I'd rather spend time looking at it than anyone's feet, swollen or not.

The aerial shots this season have been freakin' spectacular.  Whomever is operating that drone camera needs to win an Emmy.  As a Bravo addict, of course I saw it when the OC housewives went to Mo'orea, and it looked good there, but the shots of Opunohu Bay were really something special.

So, this episode we had Adrian offering up breasts massages, Ashton offering up regular massages in the back of the van after clubbing and attempting to hook up with Rhylee when she was going to sleep, Captain Lee talking about swinging dicks and the charter guests straight up having sex on the crow's nest. I think the only males that came off somewhat decent were Ross and whatever the male stews name is and even then I'm pretty sure there was some comment about Rhylee made by Ross that irritated me and I'm not even a, "I'm a feminist hear me ROAR" type girl but DAMN- all these guys come off looking like ass wipes!

My comments would be "How do they make money to live?  They are my age-how are they not tired?  Show more food please.  I love Tommy."  Every week!

BD related-we had to suffer through weeks of Leon describing beef cheeks and we can't get more descriptions from Adrian?  Chandler's naps get more coverage.

LoL all true on both and BD-Related with a 90 day fiance crossover ref....is Leon cutting those beef cheeks on the bias?! It retains the juices, you know! 

Maybe gross but I'll allow Adrian to rub my breasts for some meals. Also gross - I hate breast rubs after breast feeding my kid for 27 months of his life and he still keeps sticking his hand down there, touching me (he's still 2 yrs old, btw) and any boob touching Is SERIOUSLY fu**ing annoying to me so they're even off limits to Mr. Kdawg!

I'm becoming very annoyed with this season's editing and not showing us more of the food. It seemed to me in previous season's we'd hear details about just about every dish. I want to know what the puff pastry (or phyllo) breakfast things were! I want to know if he really served fois gras as a main course? There were no additional courses shown after that one. Fois gras is so rich, I heard of it as a main for lunch with a salad but can't imagine it being my primary meal. 

He was making crepes that morning and folding them. Could that be what you saw? I didn't see what filling he put in.

Caroline, as she’s being tucked into a guest bed after a day of no work, is crying about how she’s being treated.  What the what now?

Could Chandler BE any worse?

Agreed. It's like if the chef isn't having breakdowns and personal problems, they don't want to show much of them.

So, no reactions so far to the "breast massage." Adrian is a creep; I have zero tolerance for that kind of thing and neither should Kate. Her "it's a compliment" set metoo back 10 years.

Interesting that Ross protected his skin with scarves while they were out all day. Some of the others were quite sunburned.

Have we ever seen Kate eat at the staff mess?

That's the 2nd time he has said something off colour sexually. He's another 'high talker', let's hope he mutters or whispers in the sack. Kate's 'puppy' comment about him last episode (?) was related to his off humour. I wondered if he was actually coming on to Kate in his own weird way. Luck with that, Adrian.

AND: what about when the primary and gf were in the Crow's Nest 'tell me if they are!' says Adrian, as Kate and Caroline go up to see if they are caught on camera. Adrian follows and IMO was a little too invested in the 'show'. He was commentating on the action and that was a bit creepy too. 

Kate subsists on semi stale cheetos and wine-in-a-coffee-cup (Caroline is circulating this again IRL. It is believed to be true, but if Cpt Lee doesn't care, neither should we).

Caroline: my first viewing skipped and played up. On the rewatch, HOLY CRAP. Caroline was totally OFF CHOPS. I don't know if it was the meds that the doctor gave her, but she was put to bed before they went out by Kate. Then we see them return drunk and happy, and Caroline is wafting around like the ghost of charters past. She walked right past drunk Ashton, who asked her a question and she YAWNED right through it. Like she was sleepwalking. She got the 'bad edit' all this episode too. We saw her muttering to herself, turning on her heel when she thought better of going to tell the guests that their very late drinks were 'just coming. but not yet' and then there was one scene in particular where she is seated folding and she looks like Gollum. Production have stitched footage of her together looking like she's losing her mind. 

Someone above said it was because Rhylee and Ashton were going at it, but Ashton only went in to Rhylee (well, he was feeling around the top bunk until Rhylee provocatively whispered 'down here') Caroline was already out of her bunk. Ashton got distracted by ice cream rather than dealing with noisy Rhylee and Caroline is still wandering around. This is probably Kate at her most kind, i see now. She didn't make a big deal of it, but she was firm and kind. Now I see why the guest cabin. Something was completely off about Caroline. I don't know why Kate didn't draw attention to it, but she was definitely very drugged or had got herself very drunk or both. I think this is why she went along so biddably to her new suite and why Kate really banned her from moving from it. And also why we then get Caroline crying about it being 'not fair' about her treatment. She's got no idea what's going on! Caroline is a hazard at this point on a boat. So on the rewatch, I reckon she's definitely drugged and Cpt Lee absolutely knows about it, or is about to and they really can't have Caroline on the boat. Whether it's the antibiotic/painkiller combo from the doctor OR a nervous breakdown, Caroline is behaving too erratically at this point.

Ha! This means there is major drama for production not to have given us that douchey primary continuing to perform to type.

I mentioned the photography a couple of episodes ago also, they are really getting creative and I hope they are recognised for it, too. Especially the aerial and the underwater shots with the anchor hitting the sea bottom and the sharks and stingrays this episode. They are really selling Tahiti.

With Caroline's foot, I could never tell which foot was infected. It didn't look that bad. She did take the anklet off, so maybe it was more swollen. I really think the meds sent her loopy/loopier. EVERYtime she was asked it was "It's FINE, I'm OK, I'm OK. Well. Actually. It REALLY HURTS". 

Rhylee's face when she was in the water with the sharks? Pure bliss. She really appreciated that. Imagine if Chandler had let her take the guests fishing? Has Chandler worked on BOATS before? He said he 'knows a bit' about fishing. I know 'a bit' about fishing too. I know that a fishing boat with lines on it doesn't behave like it's a speed boat. It reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite hanging the little plastic man out the back of the school bus on a bit of fishing wire, for some reason. Seeing him questioned on it BY ANOTHER WOMAN was gold. Especially as he couldn't snap at her for asking questions like he does Rhylee. That must have stung.

The mics picked it up as he was still within Cpt Lee's sightline through the glass, but had exited the wheelhouse. I doubt Lee heard it then. But it's been heard round the world now.

Why complain about the guys; the primary had sex with a woman up on the crows nest.  I've heard the comment "swinging dicks" before, never thought it was offensive.

I didn’t think it was particularly offensive just that there was a lot of dick swinging going on this episode proverbial or otherwise and since I don’t think any of the females on Below Deck have dicks I did single the guys out.

I also had that thought when they showed both feet. I've had swollen feet (bug bites and pregnancy) and they can get *way* more swollen than that. I'm sure it hurt, but wasn't she specifically asking people to "look at it"?

It could have been crepes.  It looked more doughy than crepes to me but it wasn't a very long scene so I could be wrong.

The wine in a coffee cup was confirmed by a past bosun but he went on to say that it is at night while making plans for the next day, never drunk, just a glass/cup a night before bed, never on duty. I have no problem with that, she is high up on the food chain, if not on the boat than on the show for sure, i the captain knows (which he does) and it does not impact her work than it is fine, despite the rules.

Chandler has to be the worst bosun on any season and that’s including that awful douche on the first season of Med.

Nico during his lead deckhand/bosun season was pretty terrible too. Nico had two solid excuses for his incompetence: his completely unqualified deck crew and his brother's recent death.

I think Bryan (awful douche from first Med season) still takes the cake because he was shitty at his job and had some pretty appalling sexual advances (on Tiffany, right), that seemed to really skirt the line of being legally actionable. Plus he made first season Bobby feel more comfortable in his own disgusting mysoginistic skin. Chandler's just really bad at his job, he hasn't assaulted anybody yet, plus his face isn't quite as punchable (Bryan had that awful, awful ass-chin). Also, I kinda like having somebody around for Lee to call a dipshit, so he serves a purpose? Kinda???

Not quite right to me, imo....I don't know - I think if I met him IRL, I would probably find him somewhat socially awkward, maybe - not saying serial killer or anything like that - just kind of creepy, trying to make an impression but not really making the right one.  Nothing criminal or anything - just not my cup of tea.

But, he does make amazing food, it all looks so artistic and beautiful, and apparently tastes as good as it looks, so I've got respect for that.

It was picked up on his mic and subtitled for us at home as he walked out and away from the wheelhouse. His lips moving 'fckn a**hole' in subtitles at the bottom of the screen. No doubt about what was said. They made it look like there was an outside possibility Lee saw it, but I doubt he knew what was said, except that Chandler was acting like a little bitch. He obviously knows now though.

Bryan was also obnoxious to Jen and every female member of the crew. They had that talk with him about how he treated women. His response was basically "ugh, these dumb bitches" and then he stomped away. Except for his appalling managerial and interpersonal interactions, I never got the sense that Bryan didn't really know or understand the technical or logistical aspects of the job. I don't think he would ever made any of the mistakes that Chandler has made like not having a decent duty schedule for the deck crew, not sending Rhylee out on the fishing trip, not leaving a single deck hand on the ship, changing radio channels without informing the captain, or leaving the ship without informing the captain. Bryan is a jerk and a misogynist, but he's not unknowledgeable. Chandler is all of those things, incompetent, and unknowledgeable.

Yes!  Change Kate to a cat.  How about an elegant -almost-pure bred Siamese? (not full bred because she's got a little down and dirty to her) Name her Ti Chu.  Someone told me Ti Chu means F-You in Vietnamese ;) And I can see Kate getting off on her name being a snarky put down... but you wouldn't know it.  lol
