Okay here we go, starting to wind down. Wonder if there will be a reunion. You know how I feel about no reunion. It’s bullshit.
I just want to start off by stating the obvious. Barbie seems to have some kind of weird, I won’t say inappropriate but I almost did, relationship with her dad. Girl you’re pushing 30, according to you, you’re even married. (separated) I think your dad knows you have sex. And it was also obvi with the cameras that are installed in the cabins that you all went into the bathroom and had sex.
There are some things dads just need to butt out of when girls become adults.
It’s creepy and weird to insert yourself in your daughter’s sex and dating life.
She’s the one that blew it into a big huge deal, and wouldn’t stop talking about it all day, complaining how she didn’t want to talk about it.
The first thing she says to him is “my dad’s gonna kill me.” That’s just what a dude wants to hear, I’m sure. Talk about killing the mood. Let’s talk about your daddy. And not like “who’s your daddy??!”
He’s been really respectful to her actually. It’s not like he’s Ben or anything.
Can she stop with the ‘conservative’ thing and how she wants to be a Jew. Jews have sex, Barbie, I’m pretty sure. She’s so conservative, however she’s sitting here amongst everyone in a short robe that’s falling off of her, with nothing underneath.
Please stop the fakery. Please stop with the pearl-clutching, Barbie. You were super extra fun Barbie last night. Deal with it.
Looks like she’s doing the Housewife no eye makeup sunglasses trick.

New chef arrives, and everyone immediately refers to him as ‘old.’ He’s 40, so I guess yes, technically he’s older than they are. But he’s a chef, it is a profession and a career, it’s not like it’s a 40 year-old stew.
He’s cute, actually, Another Brit. I noticed Monday night that with the departure of Cat and Jared, that there are zero American crew. I feel like this might be a Below Deck first. Sunny is Canadian, before anyone argues with me on that, and I don’t think Barbie identifies as American.
Believe me I’m not complaining. Sadly and embarrassingly, the American crew members always seem to be the worst, with the worst attitude and no work ethic. I mean the first two to leave were the Americans, so I’m just saying.
And I would say they both had kind of a weird work ethic.
It’s kind of ironic Kerry’s first and most important gripe about Anthony is that he wasn’t reading the preference sheets properly, and on his very first meal, he doesn’t read the preference sheets properly.
Do we really have to hear about Ben and Camille? I just don’t care,
Do you? I didn’t think so.
Kyle and Barbie have a chat, and she still wants him to act like they didn’t hook up. He tries to tell her everyone already knows. Do she really think that Kyle has the patience for this childish BS?? Of course he thinks it’s stupid because it is, and still he tries to be nice about it.
Ben starts pissing and moaning about Camille who supposedly ‘cheated on him’ which is hard to believe that they even considered themselves any type of serious couple, that cheating would actually be a factor, but whatever.
He posts their pictures of IG, and of course Sunny sees it, and of course she has yet another tantrum even though he’s told her time and time again, I don’t know how much clearer the dude can be, that he doesn’t give a damn about her silly feelings.
Sunny is making a complete fool out of herself for even caring about his stupid IG posts.
He’s just doing it to get a rise out of her.
******
Barbie gets so mad at Kyle about this convo that she walked in on, and he wasn’t even saying anything. I think it’s hard for him to believe that she’s really serious about this shit. Who would believe and accept something so insane? He’s probably thinking she’s joking, and this lunacy can’t be for real. Maybe some guys think it’s hot, or just accepts it because they’re desperate.

Preference sheet meeting, and for the love of all that is holy, I hope we don’t have another crowd of picky eaters. Enough of that. Picky eaters and idiots with palates of a 4 year-old shouldn’t even be allowed on these yachts, or they have to bring their own food, that THEY have to prepare. You think I’m kidding, I’m not.
This crowd is like a bunch of influencers and social media freaks.
Octopus nachos are requested. Okay so we see they’re not picky eaters.
Barbie continues to walk around sobbing and even has the audacity to call an informal sort of ‘meeting’ to let Fraser know she’s “having an off day” because she had sex with Kyle and is worried about daddy seeing the episode in a whole year.
Literally, this was filmed a year ago.
Can’t make this shit up.
Fraser has to be completely over these whiny middle-school girl problems.
Am I insane but isn’t it more of a ‘thing’ because SHE keeps talking about it?? Other than joking about it a little bit here and there, the crew doesn’t really care that much. She’ so entitled, that she thinks everyone is completely interested, and talking about it all day, and they’re just, not.
Fraser does a good job of making a joke out of it, because it IS a joke. He consoles her so she shuts up about it.
Moving on, Pina Colada seems to have had the last straw (no pun intended) when it comes to Sunny and her constant tantrums about everything he does. Even though I’m NOT a fan of Douchey Little Boy, Sunny needs to chill out.
Paris telling him that Sunny is upset, instead of her telling him herself is so not adult.
Sunny and Ben meet to discuss, and it’s extremely awkward and cringe. I guess he’s sort of ‘breaking up with her?’ Even though they really weren’t ‘together?’
I don’t get the attraction these girls have to this dude. He looks like a caveman. A caveman who drinks Pina Coladas and is also offputting and disrespectful.
Kyle shares in his yap in his perfectly adorable Scottish accent, how childish Barbie is acting, and points out how he’s gone out of his way to be respectful.
Barbie accuses him to Sunny of not being a gentleman, and I’m just not really seeing that.
She wants to talk about a guy that’s NOT a gentleman?? Barbie let me tell you WHAT!
******
Guests arrive and this looks like an eclectic crowd. They also seem friendly and low maintenance.
Nick missed the ‘seafood spread’ part of the preference sheet. Maybe he’s dyslexic too.
Fraser didn’t say dick to him when he went over the menu, but seems to be on it now. He also complains to Kerry that the bowl of fries is not a sufficient amount.
Kerry is almost a worse stalker than Sandy. He’s constantly lurking around and bitching.
Fraser tattles that the octopus is the only seafood. Kerry gets involved, as he walks around with his tiny little cup looking for something to bitch about. H’s starting to remind me of a certain previous bosun tattle-tale bitch.
The guests didn’t say shit, so it would have been smarter to just let it go. They’re more interested in posting their stupid pictures. And as long as they had those gross nachos, I think they were happy.
Can we please let Camille go already? She’s so last season. And one of the worst stews in all of BD history.
Ben FaceTimes her about getting together in Florida, and she tells him to fuck off, pretty much. That was funny. I hope it was real.
******
The boat gets decorated for Christmas at the primary’s request featuring ‘Feast of Seven Fishes’ for dinner. The guests loved it and new guy is humbly accepting his accolades.
Ben again this season, as in last season, when he threw 40 lbs of water bottles at Alissa because he blamed her for Camille’s firing, proves to be a disrespectful little twerp yet again.
He talks to Barbie like she’s his child, reprimanding her for upsetting Kyle.
To be fair, Paris did also approach Ben about Sunny being upset but a totally different delivery. She didn’t talk to him the way he is talking to Barbie. At all.
He ORDERS her to speak to Kyle. Mentioning it nicely is one thing, but this is just so patronizing and inappropriate. The look on his face is just so ICK.
So now she’s mad at Kyle for that approach from Pina Colada Man, when he had nothing to do with it.
Kyle apologizes to her. She accepts but says she can’t trust him now. You can tell this kid feels bad even though I’m not really even sure what he did wrong.
