Not feeling this show whatsoever.  Who cares about a group of no-name millennials with money living the life?  Will be surprised if it lasts the whole season.

Guess this is Bravo's attempt at appealing to the younger demographic.  The producers of this show (who also do "Vanderpump Rules") should know better.  This cast is downright boring with no big personalities.

I am amazed that Bravo finds yet another doctor to film this crap.  My favorite "rule" to hate is the 1 before 10 or 10 before 1.  What captain wants the crew drinking in the morning.  This does not bode well.

Episode 1:

Quote

"Bon Voyage"

In the series premiere of “Unanchored,” nine close friends put their successful careers on pause to sail the Bahamas for an epic three-week adventure. Barrett and Danielle test their relationship as they take their first trip as an official couple, while Vanessa flaunts a new flame to make ex-boyfriend Max jealous. Meanwhile, the group must adjust to their new skipper, Captain Jack, who makes a strong statement with his rules of running a tight ship.

Aired December 3, 2018.

Episode 2:

Quote

"Dick Of The Day"

The crew gear up for an exciting Bahamas New Year’s Eve complete with costumes, champagne, cheers — and tears. Rachel struggles to stand up for herself with both the girls on the boat and her reluctant boyfriend Albie. Chelsi reunites with a crush she considers out of her league, and Captain Jack must decide whether to stay in the Bahamas when he learns of a close friend’s passing back in London.

Airing December 4, 2018.

I lasted about 10 minutes of episode 1 and folded.  I love seeing anything about sailing but no.....

[biakbiak]

Ugly boring people sailing.

Could not make through even half of the first episode.

There's a reason leggings are not usually worn by men.

Captain Jack!

 

"It's not about the meatballs & pasta.  I guess it is about the meatballs & pasta."   Deja vu!

These chucklefucks are really committed to their costumes.

I do enjoy the Bahamas scenery.

I actually felt bad for Jack losing a close friend at such a young age.    I must be getting soft in my old age.

[biakbiak]

Wait is Jack seriously 25?&??!? That’s the age of his friend from school and his bio on Bravo said he was the youngest of the group. If so that is a hard 25!

[mauledbypandas]

Wow, I'm going to sound shallow here but these people are not really TV attractive... yikes.. And why is the Captain who is in charge of SAFETY drinking all the time along with the people who bought into the charter?  I don't get it.  Seems like a recipe for disaster, but in a non-entertaining way. 

[Mindthinkr]

I chuckled at the comment (when they were wearing animal costumes) that they’d stand out more if they didn’t. Very strong peer pressure in this group. 

[100Proof]

Capt Lord Fauntleroy could use about an inch and a quarter shaved off the chin bone. His voice would serve him well as a BBC news anchor or something. He'll eventually grow into that voice when he hits his 40's at least. I don't wanna like him but I do, lol. All the others seem like right twats though.

I'll see if i bail or not after this second epi.  This is 'summer house' on boats. If they're as fukked up as those twats, maybe I'll stick with it, lol

edit... what a bunch of bores

Edited December 5, 2018 by 100Proof

[Mindthinkr]

Do all of these boats in the group do a dick of the day or is it just these jerks? They sure have a lot of rules for a group that’s supposed to be about fun.  

[Thumper]

On the one hand, I am amazed that there are MANY of these boats who do this every year.  It's a thing!

OTOH, this is an Awful.Show., of which I have already watched two episodes.  lol  Worse than Summer House, Below Deck, and Vanderpump Rules.

WHY would a doctor do this show?  Way to ruin your reputation and clientele.  (What kind of doctor is she?  Maybe a Dermatologist could get away with it.)

Podiatrist.

[cork dork]

I flove this steaming mess of a show; from its cast that’s just now realizing their mirrors lied (they weren’t anywhere near camera-ready for HD) to their collective shared narcissism that let them believe giving the public a look at what goes down on their frequent vacations together was a good idea.

This shipwreck lacks the magic of VPR/Summer House (and even original-recipe Jersey Shore) because these posers aren’t really friends; they’re acquaintances with a shared interest that mandates the haze of near-constant intoxication as part of the fun. (It’s also why they have that ridonkulous rule of one before ten or ten by one; without the booze, etc., to make their collective nonsense seem like the most fun ever, they’ve got nothing but inhibitions and regrets.)

The only one that doesn’t bother is Jack. He’s comfy with who he is and figured out how to get people to pay him if they wanna hang with their “friend” (it’s a really low bar but that might make him the smartest one of the bunch).

You know at least one of these people had tickets to the Fyre Festival.

The people are vapid but the scenery is great so I'll still watch.

[KeeperOfTheIce]

These people - gah....they all look and act alike I can’t keep them straight.  I’m here just for the travel porn - need more of the scenery.  

I wonder how much one of these Bucketlust trips costs?  I looked on the website but doesn’t given much info about price. 

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

I like the scenery and the boat seems pretty sweet, however all of these people on this boat looked like the sail bitch slapped them all a few times. I for the life of me don't find Capt Yellow teeth attractive nor his brother from another mother Max remotely hawt. The wacko hairdresser reminds me of Kelly from RHOC - I will probably watch only for the drama that will hopefully explode between Dr Toes and her man.  

[hilaryvm]

I find a show like this highly entertaining for no reason I can explain.  Maybe watching these people makes me feel better about my life?  I don't know.  The scenery is pretty, these people are idiots but so far no one is so bad that you feel bad for watching the trainwreck happen.  I can't wait for next week when apparently the cheating scandal happens.

I have to say that I really don't like Rachel.  I can't put my finger on it, but she doesn't seem as tied in with the rest of the group, and it seems a bit maybe like she thinks she's better than the others?  I don't know, but I've found her super annoying so far.

[KeeperOfTheIce]

I did have to chuckle when the Captain was stating his people requirements - good looking, make lots of money etcetc.  

Does a hairdresser really make thousands of dollars?  Or how about the woman that is a school teacher - I have a pretty good idea about her salary since I am employed with a school district and get paid on a teachers scale - I guess I could travel like that if I didn’t have any debt and ate beans and weinies all year - lol.

[biakbiak]

I so confused about the crash that was said resulted in a scratch. The dork looked pretty torn up and it also didn’t look like they even paused, such bad editing.

I haven’t even found the scenery that interesting it’s been overcast and or night for most of the scenes.

Quentin is a douchenozzle.

Is Vanessa trying to look like Miley Cyrus pre-twerk days or is that just her face?  The resemblance was killing me during the brunette breakdown of Rachel banging Barrett.

I was having the exact same Miley vibes from her, as she could be a long lost sister. 

[bref]

Yeah, that was weird. I can't say I noticed it in prior episodes and suddenly I couldn't STOP noticing it. Also, why does she sound like she's smoked for 50 years?

[100Proof]

That guy's brother. He looks like porky pig. They don't look alike. Half brothers?  And if they were born and raised in alabama, where's their twang?

Not everyone gets an accent or keeps one once they move away. 

[KeeperOfTheIce]

Ugh these people!  Vanessa .... i want to know why she is treating the girl (can’t remenber her name) so bad but Barrett gets a free pass for the hookup? 

Forget the whole “girl code” thing and just sit back and let it sink in that you have shitty “friends” that don’t give two flying fucks about you. 

[biakbiak]

Well according to her and Vanessa didn’t deny it, Vanessa was a good friend actively fanning her crush on Barrett and telling her they should date etc., then went and had sex with him, and lied to her about it saying it was just a kiss that is shady as fuck for a friend to do to another friend. There is nothing to hold against Barrett because they weren’t dating at the time but that doesn’t make Vanessa’s behavior okay or something you would want in a friend.

[hilaryvm]

Isn't it Rachel and not Vanessa?  Vanessa is the hairdresser hung up on Max, and Rachel is the blonde who hooked up with Barrett, I believe.

I'm sad that this was the fall out of the "cheating scandal."  I was expecting them to hook up on the trip (which is probably what the previews wanted me to think) and instead it was something that happened before they started dating.

You are most likely correct! Learning these people’s names isn’t worth the effort!

The only name I know is "Captain Jack", and I'm kinda embarrassed to even admit to that!  ;-)

If you have to get blackout drunk on a boat in an "exotic" locale just to convince yourself and the world that you're fabulous and have a great life, maybe you're not, and you don't.

Oh damn Rachel when the dude you wants to commit to sides with Danielle about you not taking ownership over hooking up with Barrett in such a way he is just not that into you.

I was chagrined to think that I was actually starting to remember names/faces on this awful show ( that I keep watching!). Then I realized that I was mixing up Danielle and Vanessa.(I think).😜😜

Ha ha ha!

Like the rest of you, I only know Jack's name and think the girls are ridiculous.  As for most Bravo shows I am going to ask again - Why would anyone with any clout go on this show?  They look like idiots.  I could see myself changing (insert job title here).

[walnutqueen]

Pompous preening pueriles.

[biakbiak]

These women are toxic. Danielle is annoying as shit when sober and I think it’s weird to just get drunk for the sake of getting drunk but they were all actively encouraging her to get wasted and then throwing an egg at her was ridiculous.  How is someone not supposed to take it personal when someone throws an egg at them? 

Korey is not going off to war he is missing 5 drunken days of boring “partying”.

I'll admit to watching all kinds of shit, but I occasionally try to elevate the conversation.  Not nearly often enough, because Bravo leaches braincells, and vocabulary.

[KeeperOfTheIce]

Maybe I am missing something ??? besides the girl who slept with the others girls potential boyfriend- why do these girls just hate on each other?  

Why was the Miley Cyrus lookalike talking bad about The new girl? Was it just because she was new to the group ? I don’t understand.  I guess I must be getting old because I would tire to quickly of all this high school BS.

She is new which is most definitely part of it, though the other girl with them is also new; but she also drunkingly fell off the boat at night, brought three large suitcases when space is at a premium and turned her nose up at their stupid initiation  drink thing. Rachel keeps saying that everyone loves her but that has been met with silence.

[jumper sage]

My favorite part is when they put the blondes on one boat and the dark hairs on the other.  Ha ha ha ha.

Dammit, Jim!  I need to look up from my Chromebook more often - I totally missed that tidbit.

[biakbiak]

Rachel was initially on the brunette boat but she jumped ship because she wasn’t getting along with the brunettes..
