Docking drama continues. They’ve been trying to dock this dang boat for the past week? Come on Sandy Captain Sandy, what are ya doin’??
Everyone on the neighboring humongous yacht is watching.
I hate trying to do something when someone is staring at me. Not everyone is like that, I know. It has to be some sort of disorder. Is there a support group? I wonder what the disorder is called? I think it should be called ‘STOP FUCKING LOOKING AT ME!!’
Another successful very dramatic docking with Sandy Captain Sandy at the helm.
I don’t think that the other captains make the docking such a dramatic event as Sandy tends to. I think the dudes just feel like it’s part of their job and they don’t need to make it a big deal, and brag about it as Sandy does.
From docking a super yacht to washing clothes – the ‘logging of the laundry’ is a little much. I don’t mean to be a bitch, or agree with Sandy, but as she says, how hard is this?? It can’t be this complicated.
I thought Sandy’s rule of thumb was that everything was a teaching moment. If you’re doing badly at something, you just need to learn.
Switching gears to Joe, as Nate tells Gael, he doesn’t understand why she would through Joe off of the bow instead of keeping him on, and having Nate guide him. You know so he can LEARN.
I think she’s trying hard to do her typical ‘create animosity’ thing, however it’s not working since they’re both ego-free (mostly) and chill guys that are not taking this that seriously. It is making things a bit awkward, for sure, since they’re friends, and Joe is supposedly lead deckhand, but it’s not causing the friction and fighting that Sandy would like.
Sorry Sand Crab, move along. Find another department to fuck with. Your contradictory slimy bullshit’s not working here. Be gone!!
Guess you better go try to convince Jono that his issues are the stews’ fault, like you did with Chef Rachel, or was that sooooo two years ago?
This woman is a gem.
I still don’t get why laundry has to go on seemingly 24/7?
So I guess since Bri is trying to keep everyone’s items straight, she’s just washing everything together. That means Sandy’s infamous white pants got washed with bright red shirts and darks.
You know I hate to always be right, but I was even thinking this when Bri bragged she knew exactly where Sandy’s laundry was, because it was all in the washer currently being washed. All of it?? I was thinking whites AND darks? Surely not. Well, surely yes.
Did Bri start going downhill in laundry when Ellie started ‘helping’ her? Or is it the Ellie love triangle drama that’s causing her to loser her laundry focus?
Bri goes on a break and Ellie takes a gander at her laundry love notes, and one could say she’s making notes for herself as far as reminders or errors she has made. Ellie thinks she’s making accusatory notes of things she thinks Ellie is doing to sabotage her.

Sandy loves doing that thing of asking one of the deck crew to drive the boat for three minutes. I think it makes her feel important.
I guess the intention is somewhat good, seems like it’s more of a feel-good moment for her. There is really no steering to be done whatsoever. They are literally in wide open water with not one obstacle around. If he fucks this up then he can officially pack his bags and become a janitor (not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
I’m sure Joe is thinking exactly what I’m saying but of course he knows he has to grovel and incessantly thank her for the amazing opportunity.
If she’s trying to build his confidence as she claims then why take him off of the bow during docking instead of letting him learn from Nate? She says she thinks he freezes under pressure, so how does removing him all together rectify that?
Typical contradictory talking out of her asshole, Sandy Captain Sandy.
Jono is making a Greek dinner, which he doesn’t have any experience with, as usual, but instead of googling this time, he consults with a Greek friend’s Grandma.
They arrive to the cute little coastal town where the guests want to get off of the boat and explore.
And guess what we have? Why yes! Another very dramatic docking. Iain doesn’t see guys on the rocks that are able to receive their lines, and tells Sandy no one is there. Gael sees them. Duh Iaian!!
What’s funny about the deck crew is the two lowest on the totem pole, Gael and Nate are actually better at their jobs than Iaian and Joe.
Aesha asks Ellie to handle lunch service so she can take a much-needed break. This is chance #2 for Ellie to put her money where her mouth is, since she keeps bragging how she outranks Bri and a much better stew.
She struggles again with setting the table. Couldn’t we mix this up a little?? Have her fail at something else??
To be fair, the guests are ordering cocktail after cocktail, so not sure why she has Bri collecting laundry instead of helping her. She keeps radioing Bri as to where random things are. Which is weird because she keeps saying Bri sucks and doesn’t know anything, and she’s her supervisor, and she’s the one in charge…
Bri should have not helped her with anything and reminded her she’s not allowed to made decisions.
It might have gotten her fired, but it would’ve been funny. And at the end of the day, we’re all about the entertainment here, right?
It WAS kind of a dumb time for Aesha to take a break. Why not wait until after lunch or at least until it’s underway?
Since when is the chief stew on a break during lunch or dinner?
Also dumb that Bri was worried about laundry during this time. Let’s stop setting up for failure for the purpose of the cameras. It’s supposed to be reality, and if reality includes no strife, then fine. Viewers don’t need to see everyone looking incompetent constantly to be entertained, Bravo.
The guests love their Greek lunch. Greek Grandma came through. She did better than the Google Grandma.
I don’t care about Sandy’s girlfriend visiting, I just don’t. I just cannot get ‘on board’ with Captain Contradictions after the season she filled in for Lee. I am still reeling about her despicable treatment of the crew. Lee wasn’t too happy either, if you recall the social media commentary that was made during and after airing.

It’s a ‘sparkle dinner’ with these very chill low maintenance guests.
I’m shocked Ellie didn’t don a sleazy outfit.
She desperately tries to get Joe’s attention, and he seems to be humoring her.
Ellie fills Aesha in on Bri’s ‘laundry list’ of laundry crimes. She also lies about the way she spoke to Bri and that Bri ‘stormed out.’ She is the one that stormed out as they replay the scene.
I think Jono’s plates are a little too busy but maybe that’s just me. They’re just not elegant. And the poached pear with a gold (edible) paper on top of it, on what appears to be a bed of baby food?? His lack of experience and zero professional training really is evident. Although it is an improvement from the poop cake.
One of the guests says it looks like a high-class corn dog. I don’t know why Aesha is acting like it looks so great. It doesn’t. It’s also slimy as the guest tries to cut into it.
No one eats the orange/pink sloppy mush on the plate, I noticed. I wonder why. Maybe it because it looks like baby food puke.
Aesha and the poop humor, while somewhat funny, is getting to be too much. The viewers are not ten. She shouldn’t be telling the guests she takes pictures of her shit. What is she thinking?
Joe and Gael, the crew dancers, perform a dance number for the guests. I’m surprised Ellie allowed this.
Aesha sends Bri off to bed and promptly reviews her catalog of laundry crimes and kerfluffles. She also finds cashmere in the dryer.
Aesha vows to involve Sandy. That’s just what we need. She’s always so helpful.
