So I totally didn’t even see last week’s, but based on the opening scene of this week’s, things have not gotten better with Tessa and Christian.
I don’t really think it’s fair to Nathan for him to decide, but I’m sure they’re doing that for the drama effect. He’s probably not even deciding. This show has gotten too produced.
He wants to can both of them. Sandy agrees. What a coincidence. Have we ever had a simultaneous firing before? I don’t think so.
If we’re so worried about safety why do we keep hiring people that they know have little to no experience? I don’t even think Nathan is qualified to be the bosun to be honest. If he were a better bosun, he could train at least one of these two without getting so frustrated.
Christian takes it well. Tessa not so much. She disses Nate’s leadership skills. I kind of think he lacked the patience to give guidance.
I’m assuming they already know who’s replacing them. I find it hard to believe you can get two deckhands ‘in a pinch.’
The news circulates around the boat. Max is such an asshole. He approaches Christian as he’s packing, and fucking grins in his face. Who does that? At least pretend you heartless nitwit.
And then he fucking gloats and tells him he “tried to warn him one thousand million times.” Wow. This dude is brutal. He’s worse than Nate at giving instruction.
I feel like he would have been fine with better leadership than Nate and this wacko Max dude, who’s clearly on some sort of power trip.
Max can’t stop smiling as he bids good-bye to Tess too. I think this dude is being given way too much credit. He just seemed like he knew a lot since the other two weren’t experienced. He has SEVERE ADHD, which you might say is a good thing in a job like this, but not the extent he seems to be suffering. He acts like a nut case.
Sandy texts several people asking if they’d like a job. Finally she gets a taker.
Like yeah sure I’ll hop on a plane to Spain! This is really unrealistic.
The taker turns out to be Nate’s buddy Joe. I feel like this is going to be bad for Max.
If Max were smart, he would have made it work with the two inexperienced deckies, so he continued to look competent.
V tells Nate she’s interested in the deck job, who also has very little experience.
Nate advises Max to stop being ‘emotional’ while on the job.
Aesha notices and judges how Kizzi seems to have the hots for every guy on the boat and it’s a little much.
Sandy wants Nate and Aesha to ‘share’ V as a deckhand/stew. We’ve definitely seen that NOT work before.
Aesha agrees to do it, although she’s not excited about it. She really is the most common sense stew in Below Deck history.
Joe got there really fast. Where was he coming from? Like down the street?
Oh yeah Joe was the dude in the middle between Bri and that psycho Ellie. Forgot all about her. She was unhinged and very forgettable.
Storm’s a brewin’ and looks like this crew will be stuck on the dock. I’ve seen the previews of this crowd and they look difficult to please.
They have very specific food preferences. Their photos for their preference sheet – yikes. Most of them even look mad and miserable.
I don’t get this ‘charm’ of Joe. At all.
Lunch is not going so well. Since he’s stuck with all of these vegans, options are limited and they don’t seem to be happy with the options. What do vegans even eat besides salad, fruit and vegetables?
The non-vegans want the oysters fried and french fries. They all start demanding more random food.
The one vegan dude goes into the galley and bitches at Josh.
Later Josh consults with three of the ladies and they are demand enough food for an army. They are very hearty women so, I guess it makes sense they want fries, wings, mashed potatoes and pasta. In one meal.
Joe and V take the guests on a tour of Barcelona. I feel like the vegans are always hungry, and they get pissed off at everyone around them. And this vegan dude seems like an asshole anyway.
The vegan dudes are bitching there’s nothing ‘green’ but they don’t want salad.
They’re whining that they don’t have the ‘minerals’ that they need. Okay asshole, this is a two day vacation, I’m sure you’ll survive without your green beans and minerals. Take some vitamins stupid.
Talk to your bitches. They’re the ones that requested a bunch of starches and carbs.
Josh storms off of the boat.
