Damo claims he feels guilty for letting Fraser talk him into ratting out Kyle. It seemed very produced. Fraser is a bad actor.
Kyle is annoyed at Damo for making his ‘joke’ a whole big thing.
I agree. You don’t need that goody-two-shoes shit from someone you consider to be a friend.
This is a nit-picky crowd food-wise, and Anthony is already concerned.
They flash on that sushi mishap from last season.
That totally was not his fault. That dumb vegetarian lady with twelve kids who doesn’t get out much, was too goddamned dumb to speak up when control-freak Jill Zarin ordered him to make sushi with fish.
Hugo chastises Jess for being in a leadership position and sleeping around the boat. He has kind of a point. He seems to have no patience for this juvenile crap.
Kyle talks to Solene in ‘private’ which I do not get.
Why? This girl feels nothing for anyone, and is just pissed off when she’s not getting all of the attention, which is kind of what Fraser told her.
She even looks awkward having this ‘serious’ conversation because you heard it straight from the horse’s mouth: She’s surprised how little she cares about anything.
He apologizes to her for being an arrogant prick. She at least tries to act like she cares about this conversation, but you can tell she doesn’t.
I’ll say it again: Why is laundry so under control? I miss the laundry drama and fuck-ups!
Not one single complaint has been uttered about laundry. I don’t even think I’ve heard the word ‘laundry’ other than Fraser asking Solene if she knew how to do it before the set off.
******
Guests arrive. And we’re having technical difficulty on the vessel.
Why does everyone insist on wanting to talk to Solene about the love square? Now Barbara wants to chat, and apologizes for sleeping in her cabin with Jess. Again, Solene does NOT care.
Kerry breaks it to the guests they’re stuck at the dock. Kerry says in his yap there may or may not be a discount available from the charter company.
Pressure is on for Anthony since more focus will be on food, which I don’t really agree with. Food is a life or death matter either way.
They get the boat out of the dock to give them room to play with the toys. I’m not seeing where there’s room to jet ski but what do I know.
At least the rain stopped.
Primary keeps pestering Fraser about the jet ski’s. I don’t know why they told them they were able to get water toys out, if they weren’t.
This is a crew of mostly older folks and they’re not known for their patience and understanding.
Fraser takes the guests on a ‘sunset cruise’ on the tender and opts to bring Solene for whatever reason, who could not be any worse if she tried, at interacting with guests.
I can’t imagine that this is going to be fun. I thought we did this one other time and guests had to look at a bunch of shipping containers.
Anthony tries to make sense of all the food finickiness listed on the preference sheet.
The tender ride actually did turn out well this time. Not a container in sight, and a beautiful sunset. I love the sun setting into the ocean. I’m east coast so we get the opposite. Whose idea was that?
Boat part not being shipped until following day. Mr. Skunk Hair is mad. He’s not freaking out (yet) but he is pissed.
Frenchie seems to have stepped up to the challenge, and dinner is served. I think he seems more confident in his interactions with guests this season too.
So laundry drama is being replaced with trash drama.
Anthony is being a little extra about the deck crew not grabbing the trash and freaks out on Hugo, who doesn’t care.
Solene who currently isn’t creeping on anyone, and passing her blisters around, is now seemingly doing her job. Whooda thought??
Guests are becoming increasingly agitated. Surely the boat owner would offer them a refund when this is all said and done. Weather situations, are one thing, but the boat having issues is not fair to the guests to expect them to still pay full price.
Kerry orders Fraser and Hugo to find shit for the guests to do. The part is still not arriving.
This all seems manufactured with Anthony and the constant whining. Rainbeau telling him she has no time to listen to him seemed dubbed in.
Guests go snorkeling and jumping off of the tender in their wedding dress. They do seem l like they’re trying to make the best of this, and at least have the self-awareness of the cameras to not be acting like nit-wits and having pissy little tantrums.
Seventies themed dinner. Anthony is handling it like a champ.
Third charter day, and will the part be arriving?
The guests discuss not doing a tip, not as a reflection of the service, but for the fact that the boat didn’t move.
Kerry is on the phone discussing a 20% discount for them. I actually think it should be more than that.
Kerry and Skunk have a chat about it, and Kerry tells him the staff shouldn’t pay for a mistake of ‘The House’ and as far as a discount, he needs to take it up with the owner after the charter.
Skunk guy must discuss with the group.
Anthony is again the martyr because he made basic sandwiches for the crew’s lunch. They flash on a scene of Kerry telling him sandwiches are fine.
The boat officially never left the dock. I saw a TikTok of a kid saying “first time in Below Deck history that the boat never left the dock.” Not sure if that’s true or not.
I feel like there was at least one or two that never made it out due to weather.
At the end of the charter, you have to admit these guests did take this pretty well.
Way better than I expected.
Damo complains about the sandwiches too. I guess there could have been like something else on the side with them. A substantial salad of some sort perhaps.
Anthony goes slightly off and Hugo tells him to “calm the fuck down.” Hugo can also calm the fuck down.
Barbara asks what time lunch is as they sit down for the tip meeting, even after Fraser advised her not to ask that. He storms off.
I guess she didn’t get the sandwich memo.
The tip was low but I guess you can’t really blame them. They at least did leave something.
Frenchie does a lunch redo and makes ridiculous-looking fish tacos.
Kyle hits the whiskey in his cabin before the night out.
He seems to be getting all in his feelings about getting in trouble. He makes a weird drunken speech at dinner about “getting away with it” and then bitches at Fraser, who then runs away from the table.
Jess chases him and tries to shoo the cameras away, which seems a bit unnecessary given the situation.
By the way, Helen did a podcast where she claims to be really pissed off he would say this and wants him to return his tip portion and distribute it to the crew. She’s also interested in her own reality TV show, so who knows what the real story is.
