Below Deck Med 8/19/24 – When There’s Wine There’s a Way

Picks up with Joe telling Ellie he doesn’t wanna go on any stinkin’ date with her!

He did deliver the bad news in a nice and respectful way. I guess.

I don’t want anything serious” is the classic go-to for just not being that into someone.

Guess I have to go back to sabotaging laundry to piss off Bri…

Let’s be honest. He’s not into either one of these girls, he just likes the attention and the flirting.

They’re both too dumb to know to just start ignoring him, and suddenly he’ll be completely interested. I know they’re pretty young but they’re old enough to know this. It’s Boys 101.

I think the whole ‘pressure’ thing is a little dramatic. I can only assume his freaking out is because he really did NOT want to sit and talk to her for an hour.

And I’m sure you never will again!

Yikes – that’s so embarrassing for her.

And I should mention too, I don’t really think she’s that into him either. It’s more about the competition, and being the ‘winner’ at this point, due to her narcissistic tendencies. She wants to SHOW Bri that SHE got the guy.

I don’t even think he’s even attracted to her as he was at first. I think he’s more attracted to Bri, but at the end of the day he doesn’t have any real substantial feelings for either girl.

She seems positively humiliated which I am – HERE FOR IT.


How embarrassing as he tells Nate he’s not going to be forced into something he doesn’t want.

I mean, this dude does NOT want to be with this girl AT ALL, unless he’s drunk and they’re making out on the dance floor.

I almost want to feel bad for Ellie, but I don’t. As a ‘fellow’ female I should, but I just don’t. If she wasn’t such an antagonistic hostile bitch, I would.

I think Joe is getting an uncomfortable vibe from this chick. As he should be.

Ellie dons yet some other cheap and itchy looking polyester slutty Shein or Temu shit. Didn’t I say last week I wonder how slutty she was planning on dressing. Well here we are. She looks like a hooker.

Joe tells Bri, Nate and Jono how when Ellie asked him out, he agreed “out of utter shock.”

Dude, is it THAT big of a deal though? It seems to me like he really cannot stand this chick unless he’s pumped full of alcohol.

He repeats to the others in the van “I don’t wanna go on a date.” Okay Joe I think we get it. It’s time to drop it. In a few more weeks, you’ll never see this chick again, so I’m going to have to side with Ellie slightly by saying “it’s not that serious!”

You can see she’s stewing and replaying him turning her down in her head on the way to dinner. THE SECOND STEW IS STEWING!!

Maybe I should’ve tried my Only Fans moves to force him on this date>

Bri feels bad for her? She shouldn’t. It’s funny.

Joe ande Ellie end up sitting next to each other at the group dinner. To break the ice, Joe offers her a sip of his drink. She declines.

Then he goes into how he’s never been asked on a date before etc etc blah blah blah. We get it Joe. WE GET IT. Again calm the hell down. It has more to do with the fact that he doesn’t want to go on a date with HER, than the fact that he got asked on a date. He’s overcompensating for that obvious fact by repeating himself.

He makes more excuses in his yap about some break-up seven years ago and whatever.

At least this does demonstrate he seems to care about her feelings and didn’t get pleasure out of turning her down, so maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on him. It’s possible he did just get freaked out by the whole thing, because he thinks (and I don’t necessarily disagree) that the guy should be the one that initiates the dating conversation. And I know it’s old-fashioned. I don’t care.

He finally gets her talking so at least it’s not completely awkward.

They go dancing and now Bri is up!! Ellie’s in the bathroom staring at herself in the mirror. No one is into Ellie more than Ellie.

Nate asks Gael if she wants go out on an ‘off the boat date.’

Aesha expresses frustration at both Ellie and Gael regarding their stew abilities. So Ellie, no you’re NOT all that, and you’re not super SECOND stew.

Bri and Ellie have this chat where Bri claims to be sorry how things have gone between them and admits to awareness of Joe playing them both.

In a completely strange turn of events, Ellie also apologizes to her for being disrespectful and hurting her feelings (and fucking up the laundry…) Okay, no she didn’t say that, but she should have.

I don’t know what the fuck Ellie even means, about being bitchy to her because Bri was “defaulting to a sensitive mode??” GIRLLL WHAT.

Just say you’re a fucking bitch!

Way too many nonsense words. Also very disturbing how she justifies her horrible behavior instead of just saying she’s sorry. A classic narcissist apology at it’s finest.

She needed to stop at “I apologize to you as well for hurting your feelings.”

Well that conversation was really unproductive.

Bri looks at her like wtf? (Then proceeds to fuck him in the bathroom.)

I don’t think Bri should have said she’s sorry for blaming her for laundry mishaps because I think she was behind a lot of them. Perhaps not on purpose, perhaps.

‘Sensitive mode?’ You mean she got UPSET when you were being hostile, yelling and even physically grabbing at her? Screaming incessantly how you’re the SECOND STEW, therefore she must obey you?? What kind of ultra-sensitive ninny gets upset about THAT??

This girl is fucking NUTS!! Bri took it too easy on her. I thought for sure she was going to shred that apology in her yap but she didn’t.

Rule of thumb for apologizing, you don’t follow it up with excuses for why you acted like you acted. Especially when it’s fucking NONSENSE WORD SALAD.

Joe looks beyond silly with that sweater tied over his shoulders. He’s not even doing it right.

He and Bri start being flirty in the bathroom. There seemed to be mostly arguing, so don’t think much else happened.

This dude is so NOT cool. Did he just say he didn’t care what Bri wants to chat about after she texted him? Was I giving him too much credit earlier?

******

Sandy is aggravated at the state of the laundry room. Bri is a little ADD, with her piles and constant confusion. It is like organized chaos. Sandy is ironing her own clothes as Bri waltzes in chatting to a friend on the phone. So that doesn’t look good. Sandy orders her to get the room cleaned up pronto.

******

Nate and Gael who actually have a healthy mutual attraction to each other, are going on a one-on-one off the boat to one of those wall rock climbing things.

Weather situation, and we will not be leaving the dock. That always goes over great. A medicane, not a hurricane is in the forecast.

She instructs Aesha and Ian to find shit for the guests to do. In a hurricane.

Nate is afraid of heights and questions the rock-climbing wall decision. Good for him facing his fears. But didn’t he say he was considering sky-diving?

He gets shown up by a girl and a little kid and handles it like a champ! He seems like a really cool kid. I think they had been together but recently broke up.

Thanks camera guy (or girl) for zooming in on his dick in the climbing harness. Now I can sleep tonight.

******

Bri and Joe have a senseless chat. So it’s safe to say he’s going to keep doing what he’s been doing. She again claims to be seeing through his bullshit, and it’s ove. It really really is this time.

Aessha has a chat with her about the laundry. I think it is worth noting that since Ellie has been banned from touching the clothing, nothing is getting in the wrong hands, so do the math. It WAS Ellie fucking things up. Perhaps not on purpose, but due to incompetency. That’s even more embarrassing, given all of her “I AM SECOND STEW!!” reminders. This girl should hang it up and just concentrate on her Only Fans. For real. She’s a fucking evil skank and trash. Sorry NOT SORRY.

And what’s all of this fussing over needing a fourth stew when Ellie seems to have a lot of free time on her hands as she’s constantly asking Bri if she needs help doing laundry? So confused.

There’s some dripping drama on the boat. The boat is filling up with water. It’s almost like watching Titanic.

Oh how convenient! The weather sitch shows them where the leak was in the empty cabin, so NOW they can have their fourth stew, that they need only for drama purposes only of course.

Joe claims there is still a laundry issue, but he’s not saying anything. That’s awful big of him.

******

This guest in the pink looks like a taller chunky Tamra Judge. (RHOC) She’s like Tamra with Emily’s body.

Social Media is abuzz with the Gary Busey guy.

I do feel badly for guests when the weather sucks. Sandy officially delivers the news, which always seems to go the same.

They initially whine and bitch at the captain, then realize how stupid and childish that sounds, so they come around to being understanding.

Guess I’ll just have to call up Shannon and call her an alcoholic!

Aesha rolls out her idea of going to a winery (indoor I assume) after lunch. They seem to have calmed down now and realize safety is an issue and they sound kind of stupid bitching about it.

The chick that looks like Tamra is pretty, but the rest of them are a little bit challenged in the looks department.

I feel like it was bad judgment to attempt to travel to this fucking winery in a torrential downpour and hurricane forecast, along with lightening.

Perfect Sandy should have known better. They’re calling for almost three feet of rain, so yeah, dumb to leave the boat, honestly.

There IS wine on the boat.

They could’ve done their own ‘tasting.’ I think the guests realize as soon as they get going it’s a bad idea. The winery is 20 kilometers away, which is approximately fifteen minute drive in normal weather, probably half an hour to 45 in a hurricane.

The roads are completely flooded. The driver of this van is probably so pissed.

You can see Aesha is trying to act like this is normal.

You don’t fucking drive on flooded roads unless absolutely necessary. Such as you need to get to a dying person. This is ludicrous. The place could even be closed.

Sandy is worried about the fucking cushions but not about Aesha and the guests trying to navigate to a fucking winery in 3 feet of rain. They could very well get there and be stranded.

Can’t make this shit up.

It’s the guests that have to point out what a stupid idea this was and it’s smart to turn around.

It’s safe to say when a storm has a name, you should probably forego a winery excursion, SANDY.

I mean really.
