And today, it's Below Tech Mediterranean. Wow, you know, we've always been huge Norma fans on this show, but Norma, what are you doing? over there. Just she can't find anybody to get on this boat. She's had enough. Okay, Norma's got a life.

She's got things to do. She doesn't need Captain Sandy, bothering her every second for a, for a deckhand. Okay? Enough. Let Norma live. Do you think Norma's dating or something? And that's why she's distracted. She's like off at the Cannes Film Festival. She's just, you know, she's like mingling with celebrities. you know, watching her phone go off here and there. See, it's just Captain Sandy, and she's just like,

I'll get to her later. Right now, I'm going to hang out. Hey, Ben, this is Captain Sandy. I think you misunderstood. Norma's at the Cann Festival, where they celebrate cans. I started taking selfies

with the Campbell soup. So, bloop. Actually, it was Campbell, Campbell Scott. that I'm with right now. He's a celebrity, I believe.

He was in a movie with Julia Roberts back in the day. I think that's what his name was. Anyway, the point is this, bitch, maybe if you could do a better job on that boat, then I wouldn't have to leave the Cannes Festival for your woods, as in, wouldn't it be nice if you had a deckhand? Sorry, can't help, bitch. Bloop. Bloop.

I'm not reading all that, but I wish you the best. Bloop. I don't need you to wish me the best. I'm already having the best at the world's best can festival. Thank you. Bloop. Below deck men, here we go. Crazy stupid love.

It's the second day of charter in Croatia. And Sandy's on FaceTime with Nathan. He's like, I don't know when I'll be back. But God, it's good spending time with Gail and the baby. I thought, oh, wow. Lucky Gail. Now she gets to take care of two children. Yeah, exactly.

I know. This is the monkey paw situation. Be careful what you wish for. Gail, you wanted more Nathan. Well, you got more Nathan. And now you have to take care of both of them. And now he's probably moaning and groaning and surly and annoying. And so he can't even carry around the baby and stuff. So yeah, be careful what you wish for. You wanted him back on this boat. She's probably just back there like, oh my God, please go back to the boat. Please. Please. Let's leave me alone with my baby. I'm in pain. Um, so Sandy's like, I have never been in this situation ever in my life. I got wordle on the first try.

It's an unbelievable. Took me six years, but I did it. Wow, never been in this situation. Oh, also, I don't really have anyone working on this boat. Okay. My deck team is Joe. Okay, I've got Cooper who's super green. There's Asia, who's the chief stew.

And, uh, you know, one of those little octopus things that you throw at the wall and that walks all the way down. You get on a cereal box. That's my fourth deck hand. It's a real problem. So Sandy goes to talk to Joe Cooper in Asia. And she's like, oh, wow, guess what? We're on her own tomorrow. Okay. And just like, uh, Nathan, Nathan's out of action then. Is Nathan gone? What happened to Nathan? Contain your excitement, boy. Like his eyes are dropping out of his head. He's doing his teeth together smile. Like, this guy is so excited. Bro, have some chill. Have some chill. Yeah. Well, unfortunately, Nathan will not be here. He's not related, reliable. He's good old unreliable Nathan today. And he's not coming back for today or tomorrow. So we're going to be docking

this boat without him. Unfortunately, I just, I really need you to focus. Okay. So Asia, maybe we can put some people out there, you know, while you're docking. I think it'll be fine, just fine, where everything's going to be fine. Why don't they just like radio to a neighboring boat and be like, Hey, can we send the tender out and get one of your deck hands to come on board here and help us dock our boat? We had an injury. Like, is that allowed? Can you do that? Well, that's a Sandy Classic.

Remember when they lost the chef? And then they didn't they get like an assistant chef from another boat? And it was that, it was a Russian lady, right? Daka, Dukka, Dushka, Dushka. Dushka. Yeah. She didn't know anything. She's like a Dushka.

Yeah. Yeah. Get Dushka back. Where's she? You know, they bring a lot of people back. It's like, why are we even thinking of Max when there's Dushka out there? Come on, man. Dushka was classic. So Joe's like, whoa, it's hard enough, you know, doing this with four deck hands. And now we've got two true decants. And I don't know how we're supposed to do this. But I'm going to do it because I'm a hero. I'm a hero. So it's just like, we've got it. It's going to be four. So then in the pantry, Jen is getting, Jen is getting changed for the, for the dinner, this, whatever, she has to wear like a flapper dress. And then the galley, Sandy and Joy are there. And Sandy's like, hey, so what's for dinner, young French lady? She's like, Lopste, caviar, bread and oysters. What about Nathan?

Oh, he's going to be okay. You know, we're, we're going to dock the boat tomorrow without him. I was wondering, maybe you could help. I was thinking maybe you just take the wheel and then I'll, I'll drop. an anchor. How about that? Are you comfortable driving a mega yacht? Is that within your skill set? Joy, I'm just, I'm in a desperate place. Glad you're working on caviar, but I'm going to need you on clock a shower. Someone waffle stomps some bread. So get out of there, Joy. You can do this. It's all going to be fine.

And Joy's like, I can help you. I can see what's outside of the world, too. Yes, yes. I could, I have a question. When you are docking the boat, do you need puff pastry? I mean, it wouldn't hurt, but I don't know. I'll circle back to you on that one. So Kaylee is asking what she needs to put out for dinner. Does she need a thing for the oysters? And she's like, yes, a fork.

Okay. And Aisha's just listening to them. She's like, do you need my help with service? No, we've got it. We've got it. So Aisha's so impressed with Kaylee's ability to keep things running. I would take my help if it's offered, but it's not being taken. So I'm going to lie here in a bed and take some noodles down. I wish we had a montage of her just eating noodles in bed because it's become one of my favorite things after night out. yeah she although she actually changed it up this this week instead of doing noodles later on in the

episode she just shook a morocca endlessly but yes i agree asia eating the noodles in bed like that is her thing um so now everyone's getting changed for for dinner service and joe is like we're done today mate you dedicate the job and coop's like thank you brother there's a way to motivate me and you do it um not yeah He's so easily influenced. I mean, yeah. Does he have a daddy issue? Like, what's his deal that he needs everybody to be his daddy?

And then it's the second it turned, Joe finally turns him where he's bitched about Nathan so much. By the way, Nathan wasn't helping with his attitude. But he's finally turned Cooper to his side. And now Cooper is so Joe. He's like, I want to be a player. I just want to flirt with other girls like daddy's doing. Cooper is definitely the guy in the film noir who gets some of the guy film noir who gets seduced into doing the crime and then is shocked when he's the one who gets

arrested and everyone else gets away with it like he is the one that linda fjorninos like has in her sights in the last deduction he is the one that like christopher walkin gets to like rob a farm in at close range like he is just the patsy he has always the patsy yeah and he like he gets excited when these people siddle up to him whether it's like a sexual seduction or just like a friendship seduction. And then he gets, he is the one who gets caught. Like the bright light of the police cruiser is on his face. And he's holding the bag.

And he goes like, wait, but my friend said he was coming back for these. I didn't rob the bank. It's like, yep, you got caught. And here he is again. You'll never believe this one, boys. This is in prison. It's also kind of like the little chicken in the cartoon that keeps running around saying, are you my mother?

Are you my mother? Are you my mother? Are you my mother? What, wait, what cartoon is that? It's like, hey, you my mother? Oh. Or like, you my mommy or something. He's just like going around trying to find a new daddy with everything.

Was everybody? By the way, fucking chicken little. Chicken little, one of the most probably bottom two chickens in the world, right? The most annoying chicken. Why did anyone believe chicken little? Why did chicken little think the sky was falling anyway? Was it because it was raining or something? Um, well, I mean, didn't he?

Chicken, no one believed him and the sky's still up, right? I don't know why he thought the sky. Chicken Little feels like he would definitely be a reality star. So, like, so extra about something that's like not needing to be extra about. Um, are, is, are you mother, are you my mother written by Dr. Seuss? No, he did not write that. It was written and illustrated by P.D. Eastman. Well, well, there you go, everybody.

P.D. Eastman looks shockingly like Stephen Sondheim. Just looked it up. So there's some useless information for everybody today. Run with it. So they're sitting for a dinner and the stews are serving bread and oysters and bellinis for caviar. And Jen serves the blinis. And she's like, oh my God, there's no room. There's no other plate here. There's just a bread plate. Kaylee put in the whole effort to put down an extra fork for these appetizers, but didn't have the brain power to realize you need a fucking plate. I mean, the fact that I'm serving caviar and oysters on a bread plate. If my heads of service could see this right now, they would literally have a stroke.

Hi, you're in service. It's part of your duty also to make sure the plates are sat. You know, or the plates are dropped for whatever is coming up next. And as someone with so much training, you should know that, madame. Yes, exactly. I mean, I feel like her monologue is hilarious. First of all, it's like crazy if this is a real monologue. I feel like it's a monologue that I would give from the spectator seat of watching it at home and talking about it on a podcast. But if you're actually up there in the field and you have the ability to change it, I think what I would do is I would say, oh, you know what? Let me get you guys some larger plates. And then I would put the tray down. on the bar and I would serve the larger plates because you're either going to be do the unprofessional thing which is put the stuff cram it onto a bread plate or you're going to do the unprofessional thing which is put the food down on the side for two seconds while you put out

some plates because the plates are right there right aren't they like by the bar or something so like this or serve it I don't know it's I mean if they're it's if they're doing it kind of family style serve the food and then bring the plates it's a cold food it's not like it's hot food's caviar Come on. Yeah. But I did love that she acted like this was a flagrant fowl, like a huge demerit on Kaylee's work. And like, she's acting as if someone had shattered a glass and then put it in someone's bedsheets and didn't say anything. Or even worse, came in bedsheets for three days and didn't do anything about it.

So, like, she's like, I cannot believe they have to eat the oyster. and the caviar on a smaller than usual plate. It's absurd. Yeah, and she says that she walks away. Oh, I knew there weren't going to be appetizer plates on that fucking table. I'm not going to say a fucking word. And that's why you're never going to succeed because nobody wants to work with that. You're a toxic, horrible human being.

Also, you're young, you know, and I get that. But that's a lot of change that's going to need to happen because nobody wants to work with somebody like that. That's no. You don't lift others up by pushing, or you don't lift up by pushing other people down. Okay. I mean, like, you know, you can. Like, if you push people down and then you stand on top of them, you'll technically be higher. But you'll also be standing on a lumpy person.

And that's not no way to stand. Like, your back's going to start hurting and your knees are going to be uneven. Yeah. She's, she's just happy for Kaylee to fail. And so she's not going to help her out when there are mistakes. So she's just going to, you know, she's just hoping that the guests will complain later and then Kaylee will get in trouble. That's what she's trying to do, which is toxic. It's not helpful.

And that's why she's not going to do well. I would say she'll have trouble finding jobs in the yachting industry, except it's clear she'll be back for like one or two more seasons of Blow Deck because they have to bring her back now. She is such a great, like, miserable stew and so funny that like she has to be in the mix going forward. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a crap and it's commercial. So now everybody goes to bed and the next morning, Joe and Kaylee are flirting through windows. They're lifting up their shirts and being like,

Hey, ha, ha, he keeps like, Joe and Kylie are on the same way going up and down. They're my parents. You know, I really want a relationship just like theirs. We just to watch how it's lasted over the days. And then the producer is like, Um, like, are you and Kat on the same wave? He's like, oh, hell no.

I mean, I still like that. But at the same time, I don't like letting everybody's thoughts and eyes seep into what's going on between us. I can feel the pressure. What are you talking about? Like, what does that mean you feel the pressure? Like, what does that mean? Like, I think because everybody keeps telling them like, oh, my God, you were so cute. You better be good to Kaylee.

You better be good to, um, you know what I'm trying to say. Don't mess it up with her. She's a great person. He's like, oh, my God, are we dating? Are we married? But they're saying that because you act like that with her. And also, you're both such big, goofy dorks that there's no, there's no real other option. You know what I mean?

I think everybody is seeing it, but he wants to think of himself as like a Joe who's just going to be playing all the girls. Yeah. And it's like, no, babe, you're a big goofy dork. And this is your lot. Right. And like I get, I, I'm not like, oh my God, I'm confused by these words. What does that mean pressure? I've never heard of this.

The point is that like, I, like, we've heard it a million times from a million guys on a million of these shows. Like, oh my God, there's just so much pressure. But what does that really mean? When you drill down to it, what does it really mean? People are asking about your relationship. They're being nosy. Sure.

If you don't want, if you don't want to have to keep on having to just like talk about your relationship, you just tell people, listen, I really like her. But the more you guys ask me, the more I'm getting frustrated. I don't want to hurt her. Whatever. You just say, please stay out of my business. But like this idea that you're going to blame her for it and you're going to pull away from her because you can't handle other people's questions is like so unevolved, I think. Well, that's Cooper.

I don't think anybody would judge. I don't think anybody would judge Cooper is evolved. You know what I mean? Definitely not. No one would see him and be like, wow. But just such a stupid excuse in general. It's like a new one at least because normally it's like she's pressuring me. She's pressuring me.

I'm feeling so much pressure. And usually that's non-existent too. But that's just what they say. And in this one, it's like he's feeling the pressure from everybody else, which is so weird. It's just like we're so famous. We're just such a huge celebrity couple and it puts pressure on our relationship. I kind of think that like anytime someone complains about pressure, that means they're actually really not in it anyway. because if you're not in it, the reason why you feel pressure is that you're feeling pressure to

play the role of the boyfriend or the whatever. Like you're, you feel the pressure that you have to see this thing through and you know you actually have no interest in seeing it through and you're only in it for maybe some booty, you know, and now there's pressure on you to do more than that. That's where you feel the pressure. So I think anytime anyone says, it's too much, there's too much pressure or whatever, whatever, it means that they actually are just not into it. I think that's like the, I think it's

right to it. He's clearly not into it, but it's not like she's just chasing him. He was doing this. And that's what makes me crazy is specifically on below deck where they're like, oh my God, I'm so in. I'm so in. I just want you to know I really like you and I'm going to take you on a day. And you're just the kind of girl I'm always looking for. And then suddenly it's like some other dudes like, well, you should be dating around. There's so many, there's so many people that here. you shouldn't tie yourself down, you know, that's not the way to do it. And then suddenly he's like, yeah, I ain't going to tie myself down and almost like wants to look cool. And then it's like, what is she acting crazy for?

Yeah. You know, we just met. People are just ridiculous. Loser. Loser. What a shame. And I knew it was going to happen. I mean, we knew it was going to happen.

We knew. He was just too nice. And we know this man is from Charleston. It's in his. Charleston. What did I say? No, I was agreeing. I was like, you said Charleston.

Oh, yeah, Charleston. I was like in the regional DNA. So we knew that this was, something was going to happen. But the fact that he can still do with that big goofy smile on his face, his eye does get a glint when he's being mean, you know, but he's still got that big stupid goofy smile. It's just, it's just disappointing. Okay. Yeah. It is.

It is. Because I, I don't believe in anybody anymore. If I can't believe in Cooper. Where am I? Who am I? What is this world? So, Joy's making breakfast. And then on the deck, Sandy's like, okay, Joe, we're going to be next to a big boat that's in there.

Okay? Or as I like to call it, a Norma boat. Okay, sorry. I wish, God, I wish I had texted that to her. I don't know if she would have liked it, but I would have. So I want to talk to the interior because you can't really touch a line of. Okay, you got to talk to me. So go give them some lessons on throwing lines.

Do you think that this could go wrong by having a bunch of people who've never been on the deck? Throw lines to the dock. You think you can do this? It's like, I could do it. Super important. I want to make sure we all know it's extremely dangerous if you have touched lines without being trained. So get everybody over here for five seconds of me saying, go get the lines. Okay.

Let's go. That's good team. So Joe tells Kaylee that he's going to need her. And Katie tells us, since Joe's kind of become the boats in, and I'm the acting chiefs too, I kind of feel like we become an accidental power couple. But I'm normally in the interior, and I've not done this before. So this is like really scary, even for someone who's in an accidental power couple. It really is on each team member to pull their weight because everyone on this boat knows how bad a docking can go. should we cue the flashback?

And once again, this is like now going to be Sandy's bane of her existence. Every episode, they find a way to show the boat crashing into the dock and then something falling off the cupboard in the galley. And then Jen in the stew mask. Every episode. Yeah. It's like the captain Jason. Wasn't it Captain Jason who his first season talked about how he crashed into a restaurant or something? Yeah.

And then Glenn crashed too. And then Glenn. And they never let it go. It's still. It's like, well, we did a good job. We saw a seal today. You cut to a boat crashing 20 years ago. Oh, look, Roy Orberson Jr.'s coming back on this boat.

Cut to the boat just crashing. Whoa, was that a commentary on his music career? So Joe brings every team member, Interior and Joy, to assist with docking. And, you know, it's like, oh, Carl's. Girls, get to the, get to the tinders, one side eat, fenders, fenders, fenders, not tenders, fenders, joy, you're on the bow with Asia. I'm going to teach you now everything. Kaylee, you'll be with me on this end. This is what leadership is.

Oh, God, there's a lot of wind. Oh, man, of all the times for them to drop a new episode, it's right when I'm trying to dock. Oh, God. Okay, Sheffey, you're on anchor. Cat, you're on that line. Kaylee, you're on a fender. And Jen, you just braid your, just put those braids down and just look. crazy. Okay, maybe scare away a boat so we have more clearance.

Since the beginning of the season, I believe myself to be a bosson. I didn't expect to have to prove it. Docking a boat down two decades. I was made to lead. Okay, sure. He's finally pulling out of that hole that he found himself in when he sold a house to a fraudster and then had to dump his girlfriend. Shame. Yes, the Joe backstory. Oh, my God. That's what this is all building. That's what this is building to. After I was defrauded when I tried to sell a flat, there's someone and they ran away with the money. And I was so embarrassed. I just, I had to leave my girlfriend because I couldn't even bear to look at her face. And this is the first time I felt successful since then. You know, that monologue is coming very soon. Oh, man, I forgot that backstory. I love that because it really didn't make sense, right? He was selling real estate, but then someone ran away with a bunch of business.

money what money how'd you get like um but some sort of down i don't know there was some exchange of money that was not secured and like someone ran off with the money the house was not sold he either lost a job or got into trouble or who knows and then he was he had been dating the love of his life and he was so upset by the thing that this whole situation that he dumped her because he couldn't bear to like go back to her and didn't like i lost the real estate shame and nothing nothing made sense. Didn't they show up it? Wasn't he like, and I was so depressed.

I went through a dark depression. And then they showed him eating a sandwich. And we were like, oh, my God. The depression. It's like whatever picture they chose to show of him was him just eating a sandwich sweatily. It was an AI generated backstory. Let's be honest.

It was this was like AI slop of a backstory. There's a lot of wind. Oh my gosh. They're using an AI version of Blue Diamond Phillips. in this one. This is good. I hope you guys have everything covered. I'm watching. This looks scary as hell, by the way. It looked like they were going to hit the other boat because they're always trying to scare us. Like, oh my God, we're almost going to die. It's going to work everybody on the boat. Everybody overboard. Try to get the Kathy Pace is tender. Try to get the Kathy Pace's tender. But this time, the boat really did look like it was about to hit the other one, the other but. You know, I wasn't scared this time.

I felt like it was okay. I mean, technically, there was contact made because Kaylee threw a line out. Yeah, I'm sorry, Ronnie. I was unaffected by the editing this time. What bravery. Yeah, well, I had faith. I had faith. You know, Joy was on anchor.

I was like, it's okay. Kaylee does at one point throw a line to the dock and she misses and just wax a police boat that's like next door. She's like, I think it was worse when Jen started throwing appetizer plates at the billionaire boat. It's like, oh. Yeah, and then when she went over to that boat, it was like, you want to fuck? So then Joy is, she's texting with Luke, which really is so disappointing. I mean, you really must get lonely on these boats, huh? Like, you're just isolated and horny, and you have this guy with a great, tall, great body who's just love bombing you with via text.

I guess you would be susceptible, but, God, I just wish she would have higher standards. and she, or not even higher standards. I just wish she just had someone else that she could. Higher standards. I think that's fair to say. I agree with that. Yeah. But I think it's prison.

I think it's like prison love, you know? You're stuck somewhere. There's no other options. I mean, look at all the things that people do in prison and gay porn. Yeah. Well, I think that's a great example. She's like in a prison gay porn right now. And I was going to say, look what people do in prison, but I really don't know.

I mean, my only experience with prison is that Netflix show where all the ladies are in prison or like gay porn. I think the better example is like a wedding. You go to a wedding and it's like, oh, gosh. You know, but then, you know, because a lot of people go to weddings just to hook up with other wedding guests, but then you're like you get there and you're like, no one really, no one really worthwhile. But after a while, you're like, these are my only options. And then people start getting drunk. And eventually people start to hook up because this is, you know, you have higher standards in general, but within the confines of the wedding, this is your only pool. So you just got to like you make it.

You know what? Why don't we compromise here and say this is just like a prison wedding and gay party. It's basically the same thing. So you got to kind of excuse it, you know. There we go. That seems right. So Joy is texting with Luke and he's like, thinking about you a lot. I'm really thinking about you.

You know, doesn't he give her a voice or like a video text or he's like, it's you, you that I'm thinking of. I hope that you get this and you're thinking of me too. Good old Luke. So, um, uh, so the guests leave. And Asia, Asia's like, oh my God, you did so well. And Jen's just watching like, she doesn't know about the appetizer plates. And now they've got a Sandy's on the bridge and she's texting Norma.

She's like, please tell me you found a deckhand. Bloop. Bloop. No, but I did find a dick in my hand. Bloop. I don't think now is a time for joking, Norma. We know that that never really would ever happen with you. Bloop.

Bloop. It's not a joke. I went to a wedding in a prison and a gay porn. I'm in love. I'm not staffing anymore. Good luck to you, dumb bitch. Bloop. I don't even know what to do with that information,

but I have to say that if you went to a wedding in a gay porn, they all like me first. I turned them gay. Bloop. They're my sloppy seconds. Bloop. You know what? I've got a microwave.

I'll heat them up. Bloop. You don't have to heat anything up because the hot stuff is happening over here at the Cannes Film Festival. Bloop. I just got a report from another boat that someone threw an appetizer place at a police. An appetizer played at a police boat. That is very concerning. I'll have to ask the policeman in my bed

what to do about that. Bloop. Listen, I got to go, but I hope you watched the last wind with Blue Diamond Phillips. It would have been a terrible one to miss. He was on AI for five seconds. Hope you didn't miss it. Lady who was busy during the talking.

Blupe. I got an advanced screener of it, actually, because guess what? Last night, I had sex with Lou Diamond Phillips. Bloop. Can film festival, baby. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Norma's just going to leave her on red.

So I really like that Norma found somebody. I'm so happy for her. So main salon tip meeting. Wow, not a lot of people are here. Look at that. Thankfully, you're all thin and gorgeous. Okay, I loved watching y'all work together. You know, there were no egos involved.

Just a lot of eyebrows. Okay? And someone who kept running around the deck screaming, I was born to be a leader. I was born to be a leader. By the way, I just want to say, I think that in the middle of that, that interchange, I think I switched over to Norma in the middle of it. So I think we were just Norma texting Norma, which probably clarifies.

That probably clarifies. To Norma to text her bait. People are like, why would Sandy be texting that? Sorry. It was a weird one today. It was a weird episode today because no, I got distracted. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. Well, everybody did great.

I'm so proud of you, Joe. I got a phone call from Nathan. And guess what? He's not coming back next charter. And I don't know when Nathan's coming back. But here's the thing. Joe's eyebrows have gotten even stronger. So we've got all three Joe's here today.

Okay? So congrats to Joe and the two little Joe. Yeah. The good news is that this boat now has two more anchors and they're called Joe's eyebrows. So Sandy is like basically puts Asia on deck again and Kelly's going to be heads due once again. So Jen is furious. I don't know if you said that already. But he's like, I don't want to go to EMI but I'm fully erect right now. We know. How's this different than any other? day. Okay, everyone, send out good vibes for Nathan, okay? Because we're still going to share our tip with him. And because you did such a

fabulous job, you have the day off tomorrow. And I've arranged for you all to go to a beach club and have organized a really special dinner for you tonight. Okay? You're going to be having Branzino. There, it's Branzino. God, I can't help it. God, I love that Branzino. Meeting adjourned. So does, do they, I still have to split the tips with Nathan. I wonder if she's probably good. They do. Yeah.

Yeah, they do. I guess that's normal. So then we go to crew cabins. Jen FaceTime's her mom. And we get to see her mom, which I really loved because her mom's like, oh, hi, Jen. She's like typing in some financial office in some like corner office somewhere. Like hi, hi, John. Hi, hi honey.

She's like, um, mom, things aren't going smoothly on service. things were just not how they were supposed to be. I just can't do this, mom. You know me. I'm like a perfectionist with appetizer plays. You know me, mom. That's a girl you raised. And her mom's like, well, you know, I did.

I saw a post on social media. It's, are you on that social media network, honey? It's called Successful Parents, that whose children can't surpass them. It's a great site. So I saw a post on it. It said, I had to stop expecting me from other people. Jen's like, I'm not trying to be jealous or competitive or a bitch right now. But if I continue to cover Achilles ass, that's not going to be the best thing for the boat long term.

That literally is. It's coverish of those asses of all. I do agree. She's not trying to be jealous or competitive or bitch. She just is those things. She's not trying. Her mom, just knowing exactly who her daughter is, is so great. And just, like, sitting there doing whatever she's doing, like, typing.

She's like, okay, well, you know, I saw a post. She says, stop trying to expect me and other people. Okay. Like, she's got a whole calendar that she can flip through of bullshit to just tell her awful child, whatever she calls her, you know? Mm-hmm. She's jealous Jen again. Jealous, jealous Jen.

Yeah. Um, so, uh, then we go to the pantry and Aisha is texting with Nathan. She's like, Hey, Nathan, wait, I'm worried about you. Let me know how you're doing. And he's like, hey, my back is fucked trying to do therapy, so I'm not out for too long. I'm like, you're done for the season. I hate to tell it to you, you're done for the season. If you've got a bulging disc, there's no way that three days of physical therapy is going to get you back there where you can just be hauling things. whatever. Maybe you can be walking around and ordering people, but like, I think Nathan has done. He's toast. Yeah, this is a pretty active job. He's like, well, I just saw a nurse and she said,

don't give Joe my job. Please, it's doctor's ordered, doctor and nurses orders, both. So then we go to Coup and Joe cleaning, and Joe's like, look, I'll fucking say it. I'm glad Nathan's gone for this charter. Yeah, when he's good, he's good. But as soon as that tension, there. It's like, God, none of us want to be there. Am I right, dad? I mean, I want the best for him, dude, but you may not be my birth daddy. But you are the best daddy I've ever had this week. Oh, I miss my daddy. Um, so then we go to the main salon and Jen is like, she just wants to sit and talk with Asia. So she's like, oh, hello, it's going on. She's like, honestly, I feel like there was like, a lot of behind the scene struggle, just like a lot of things missed on service, just like a lot of stupid stuff. I mean, have you ever seen two things put on a bread plate before? I mean, I can't. I can't. I can't. I get to be mad just thinking about it. It's just like, why is there no appetizer plates when we're serving the caviar for the oysters? I kind of gotten like a little bit of a mood last night because I felt like, you know, small plates for double appetizer.

Like, what do we die here? Am I right, Aisha? Am I right? If you don't agree with me, I know you hate me. And Aisha's face was just like, oh, you know, she has that just cringe on her face. Or she's like, oh, God, you would just make yourself look worse every episode, and I know how this is going to go for you in the public eye. You know, she's like, oh, well, things aren't going to go smooth inside anyway, because we're too down. We're just kind of in survival, but.

Yeah, well, you have a noodle hanging from your mouth. It's awkward. And I think that like Kaylee is like really struggling. And I think we would all have been in tears if it was difficult guess. I mean, she sucks. Wow. She's she's really bad. I mean, is this how we're going to put our guests in danger?

You know, someone could have choked on caviar that had a breadcrumb on it. I mean, who does that? When you don't have enough room around the caviar, You get flustered. And when you get flustered, you die. Do we want people dying on our yacht? I don't think so, Isha. I don't think so. Fish gave up his eggs for this. You know what I mean? Well, it's hard because I know you've been a chief stew in your mind somewhere, but I really want to make sure that you're respecting the fact that Kaylee is

bigger, stronger, cuter, sweeter, more amazing and always going to have a first place ribbon around her neck. You understand that, right? I think that's all Jen here. She's like, what? Like, just her face of Aisha standing up for her, Kaylee. She's like, respect your boss. All right, then. Okay. Run back to me, you little maniac, literally. So, Jen is like, when you're working for some of the richest people in the world, you learn what real service is. I was a service due on the second. I'm sorry, on the largest sailing yacht in the world. I had to sign an NDA the size of the book, Dune.

Okay, pause for laughter, as everyone recognizes that Dune universally is known as a very large book. Okay. Okay. And I know Aisha that has that high standard. So it confuses me why she would be so accepting of these little slipups. Okay? I was on a very important sailboat with a, like, are you sure that you just didn't, someone just

didn't give you the book, Dune? She was like, I had to sign an NDA. And it was all about the Harkonans and spice. And let me tell you something, those worms, you can ride them, but you didn't hear it for me. That's all in the NDA. Let me tell you who didn't serve appetizer plates, the people in Dune. There was not one appetizer. No.

If it was a person. Do you work for the richest people in the world? Okay, but you're not. You're working for tattoo shop owners. And I mean, you know, that was just the latest of a long list of yokels that come on the show. You just had a fake dating show on here last week. Okay. These are not, this is not a musk boat.

Okay. Everyone is going to survive. The last charter, they were asking for chicken tenters. Okay. No one is going to freak out about not having a separate plate for the caviar. Just calm down. This is not the gotcha you think it is, babe. Yeah.

It's not. Um, so Aisha's like, oh, thank you for your hard work, which is her way of being like, fuck off. And um, Asia's basically like, look, Jen has been a really competence too. She's, she's good, but she doesn't realize that like she has to be a team player. She has to connect with other people and with the guests. And, um, like you, like, you're not going to get ahead if you backstab. Please don't backstab. So now Jen's pissed.

And she's walking through the cab and it's like, I hope that the next guests are really assholes so the cracks will show. So you're the crack. You're the crack. Here comes one right now. So then we go to the crew cleaning. Cat finds Jen crying. And she's like, are you okay?

What's wrong with you? It's like, oh my God. I feel like Asia doesn't even like me. Okay. Like, I mean, I miss the days when, like, the Chief Stu would yell at you and, like, scream at you if you fucking missed a spot on the placement. If you broke a D-O-Waterglass jug or something like that. What is Jen is 22? What is she sitting here saying, I miss the days when Chief Steeds would yell you.

You're, you missed. You just had your senior prom. What do you talk about? You miss the days of, like, the, of your. It's like, you're acting like you've been doing this since 1977. Okay, I just missed the days. But even crazier, oh, there's a full on mosquito in here. I'm going to kill this mosquito.

Ah, I missed it. I, like, I love how she's just pining for toxic leadership. She's like, oh, I just want to be yelled at. I want to be yelled at. I want to be walking on eggshells. I want to be scared. I want to be uneasy for eight weeks in a row. I want to be happy.

I want to be breakout of nervous sweats and have stress dreams. That's what you call service. Yeah, she's not getting her waist and out. Aisha's a terrible chief stew. But, you know, if you had the chief stew that you wanted, they wouldn't have just stood by while you let somebody sleep in spermy sheets. You know what I mean? That would have been a huge no-no.

Like, you knew that somebody was sleeping in sperm and you just laughed about it and did nothing. You would have been fired if you had a chief stew like you're talking about. You are so, you just don't see how lucky you are, you dumb, dumb child. Part of me wonders if she is basically saying, like, yeah, I. I got yelled at, but I knew exactly where I stood with someone. I knew if I was doing well, if I knew if I was not doing well. And here she's like, I can't tell. Everyone's nice, but I can't tell people secretly hate me.

And she's just trying to, like, guess what people think. And it's making her crazy. But, like, I, I think that's giving her a lot of credit. I think that she's, I think that she's mad because Aisha's being so nice about, she's uplifting Kaylee. So she's like, oh, yeah. Asia's a shit stew. And that's why every, or she's a shit chief or whatever.

So that's why everything's good. going to hell because, you know, I missed the day when there were, you know, chief steves who actually care and who actually, you know, are perfectionists. Not like this. Like, sloppy ass. Noodle eater. Yeah, like yelling shows that you care. But, I mean, you see this a lot of times in like Hollywood assistants. Like when I was an assistant first to do exec, he would yell at me all day long.

And I couldn't deal with it. And I just finally, I finally quit. And then I had like when I gave my two weeks notice, he stopped yelling at me because it was what's the point of yelling at me. me and then he was like you become such you're like a much better assistant now as soon as you quit i was like because you stopped yelling at me but like the people there's like this weird thing where you know the assistant that will work well for that guy is someone who actually enjoys being yelled at in a weird way and then in turn will rise up and yell at the person below them and like there is this abusive cycle that happens in hollywood and quite frankly probably in many other industries

and i think that like jen is one of those people that happened at the bull one of bowling alley, my aunt Josie would follow me around going, did you paint that ball holder? What do you call it? The holder of the balls. They look like library shells, but as what all the balls are, you know, it lines up. The bowling raw racks or whatever. I had to paint those. And she just kept coming up behind me.

I would hear her keys jingling on her pants. And then she'd be like, yeah, did it wrong, do it again. Start from the beginning. Start from inch one. And she was like a hard ass like that. And I was always like, oh my God, she hates me. But, you know, those racks had about 10 coats of paint by the time I was done. And then I saw it like Christmas or something.

It's like, you did a great job, kid. And I never felt better. You know, it's like, wow, I really earned that. I really earned that. Yeah, I made it in the bowling alley rack painting industry. And it was all because someone was on my ass. So thank you, Josie. Well, some people love a boss that yells at them.

And they in turn become those bosses. And Jen is one of them. She wants to be yelled at. She wants to be, she literally says it. You know, sometimes it could be problematic to be like, oh, she just wants to be yelled at. She's just asking her. She literally is asking for it. She's like, I want to be yelled at.

And I can guarantee you, if she had a Chief Stu on this season that was actually like that and yelling at her, she'd be crying and saying, everyone hates me. And then she wouldn't be able to. She doesn't want it. I think she's just saying that Asia sucks. This is her way of saying Asia sucks. Because if she really had somebody like this, she would be crying her eyes out and trying to, you know, get that person fired. Just like she does with everybody else that she doesn't like, you know? Yeah.

And a cat is just like, yeah, you've got to work on your attitude. Like, she's like, I'm so serious, Jen. Like, you need to fix her attitude. Otherwise, it's not going to end well. You're going to get fired. It's like, how much can I tell you? Like, you need to stop acting like this. That's a good friend.

Yeah, that way. It really is. Just honest with you. Like, come on, get it together. And so Kat says she supports Jen a lot. But we're working as a team. You can't bring your past traumas into the workplace. So now we go to one of these things that we just saw in Southern Hospital,

where everybody eats dinner in the sky. They go up on a big table that's lifted on a crane, and then they're just hung there. And everything they're served was already. in that center little section just kind of hidden behind a little bar, I would assume, right? Or do they have little people flying over to give them? No, I think they have all, everything is like prepped back there. But yeah, I don't want to go on one of these.

Not because I'm scared, but because I just feel like, I just don't trust that the food is any good. And now I'm trapped up there and I'm stuck with bad food. Like, I'm sure it's like probably, I want to get up. I'm going to go to the bathroom. And what about that? I want to go talk shit about people while we vape outside.

I don't want to just be stuck there. It's like, okay. there's a beautiful view. But guess what? I don't generally want to go to a restaurant that has a beautiful view because those also are sucky. I'm not like,

I'm not trying to eat a restaurant at the top of a tower. I'm not trying to eat at the restaurant the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. So everyone, just in case there's questions about that, if you were about to say, what about the restaurant in the CN Tower? No, I ate there.

In 1992, I had breakfast there. It was stupid. Okay, they're all tourist traps. Anything with a good view. If my restaurant rotates, It's, I don't want to be in it. Okay. I want no windows.

I want a view of white fluffy bread. Okay. Yeah. And pasta, like the food. That's what I want to view of. That's all I want to see is if you, I want to be in a dark basement with little candlelight things and tweezers. Okay.

That's what I want. Or I want to be in my house with all the curtains closed and a blanket over my head. Well, I just shove dominoes down my throat. Like domino's wrapping the breadsticks that you can also get from Jones. Yeah. That's how I like it. That's the view I want. Don't like don't buckle me into a dinner that's suspended by a crane.

That's just, it's annoying to me. I hate it. Yeah. So Cuba's next to cat and cats, you know, being fine. And she's like, oh my God, are you going to go? So tonight. Your eyes look, and he's just kind of like, no, and he won't look at her. Just like smiling at everybody else.

And she's like, um, your eyes look really green tonight. And he's like, yeah, well, we're about to miss the sunset. It's about to disappear everybody. And she's like, she just takes a swig of her wine. They're like, don't do that. We're over the hump. Okay. Like, what was, what does even that mean?

And she goes, what did you say? I complimented you. And she's just like, there's some weird energy. you know and they just aren't looking at each other or talking it's like very very immature on his part and mean actually it's like very very mean and so um kaley they're just all talking around the table and and joy is uh saying how luke is texting her and keel's like i mean you literally lock him i mean do you say something with him she's like i don't know he fuck someone else he can run after me for a little while we have to uh encourage when someone is coming back and apologizing and writing letters, you know?

He did all that. That's really nice. My God, this Luke. And Jen is, like, overhearing, and she's like, what the fuck is wrong? Like, with them, like, after everything that Luke did, you're really going to, like, text with him. Like, and she's right, by the way. So, um, uh, now they all get in the vans and Asia is like, so what did you in Kupy-weepy talk about? This is like her episode of doing that with all.

all the damn. She's like, nicey, wafy, coopie, woppy, sandy, wandy, genuinely. And cat's like, it's awkward. And she's like, oh, no. Oh, no. I knew what's going to happen. It's a natural progression of men on a boat. I'm so sorry. It happened so quickly. Meanwhile, Joy and Cooper talking in the other van, and she asked him, how was your life? He's like, since the beginning, I've been wanting to take this slow. I said it. She's like, do not break your heart, okay? Otherwise, I would break your face. Don't make somebody up. Do not make somebody up. Like, don't like bring somebody up and then be like, oh my God, look, he found love. And then start ignoring them and treating them like, wow, why are you acting like a crazy person?

A little asshole. Yeah. So now they go to Club Revelyn and they're dancing and drinking, having fun. And Cooper is just like dancing with some women. And Joe is like, like, oh, have you seen how handsome this man is? He's the naughtiest man in Croatia? And she's like, well, I'm an atheist woman in Sweden. And it's like, again, Joe is, Joe, Joe, Joe's a fucker. Because Nathan is the devil. He's like the devil in the Navy's movie.

He's like, oh, temptation. Come, dance with the girls. Don't you want to talk to some girls? Yeah. So he's talking. So then he's like, Cooper's. now dancing with with this the Swedish lady and cats like he's becoming a player I'm like not here for that like two weeks ago he was a southern gentleman and now he's like Prince Hansing me

I'm like I think the I think the fallacy here is I think the southern gentleman like he still is the southern gentleman and that's and the problem is that your definition of southern gentleman is flawed because her definition of southern gentleman is a man who is polite and chivalrous and, you know, puts the lady first. And it's like, unfortunately, what we have learned is that the Southern gentleman acts like that, but behaves like this. And that is the true definition of the Southern gentleman that we've seen on Bravo. Yeah, for sure, the brav.

So Kaylee and Joe were at the bar, and Joe pulls his normally, his normal Joe, here he comes. Anybody who fell for this bullshit. So Joe's like, well, you know, when I'm in this environment, I want to go say hello to the to the ladies. And she's like, oh, I'm the same. It's like, so I'm going to go to a test. I'm going to go say hello. She's like, why are you testing me? I don't need to be tested. He's like, well, I'm going to go say hello then. And then he goes off. He's like, ladies. And he goes to them. And she's like, whatever. What an awkward, stupid thing. Like, first of all, why are you saying this to her? Why do you feel compelled to do this? Or just do it. You know, or just do it if the whole thing is you're, you're, you're just having fun. no stakes attached just do it but like the whole thing of like i'm gonna test you i'm gonna i'm gonna do a test it's like it's it is such an ick and i was proud of her being like why i don't need to be tested like get out of my face he's only happy if he's making somebody lose it yeah he purposely does it every single time where he's like oh i'm this kind of guy and that kind of guy and then he

i don't know who he's testing them or himself i don't know what he's testing for but he wants somebody to scream and cry over him and get emotional over him i think that's probably the only way he feels love. Poor Joe. But also, what is this stupid thing of like, when I'm in this environment, I just want to say hello. What the fuck is that about? Like, oh.

He's trying to make her, he's trying to get some reaction out of her. It's too easy with her being like, do whatever you want, and I'm not going to get jealous. And he acts like he wants that. But then he gets that. And he's like, oh, my God, does this person even like me? Like, they're not even. Yeah. He needs that reaction.

Yeah. Otherwise, he would just go and say hello to people. We've seen in the past he has no qualms about doing us. The fact that he has to actually go over to her and announce it like, hey, look at me. Look at me. I'm talking to other girls. I'm flirting with other girls. And she's like, okay.

Well, also, he was just dancing with girls and she didn't care. So he's like, oh, so look, now I'm going to go. Now let me narrate to you that I'm fucking you over right in front of your face, you know. Will you be upset? She's like, whatever. Go ahead. So, uh, Kaley is. like, she's like, where's this even coming from? We were kind of having our own fun. I never really

showed any signs of me wanting more of our relationship. I thought we were kind of friends first, and that's not really how you treat a friend. Yeah, so he goes over to say hello to the randos, and then Cooper comes back to the table, and Kat just walks away from him. And she goes outside and calls her friend, she's like, oh my God, this guy is playing this shit out of me. And the friend's like, oh my God, don't cry. No. Yeah. I'm like, no. And, you know, I also felt bad because when, like, I think this is when she's watching Cooper dancing with the girls and everything. And Aisha's like, oh, I'm sorry.

It's like, you know when you're like, you're paranoid about something like, oh, my God, he hasn't texted me back. I think he's like, I think he's over me. I think he's go to me and your friends say, relax. It's only been 12 hours. You don't know, like, he could be busy. There's a reason why I haven't texted you back. But when your friends say, I'm sorry, you're like, oh shit, you're not even giving me, you're not even telling me to like,

to like keep my chin up or to think positively. You're actually agreeing. You're like, yeah, it's bad. Because Aisha's like, I'm sorry, only. I was like, oh, man, that sucks for cat. Like, it's blatantly obvious to everyone that could is now moving on. Yeah, because we just saw him acting like this before when she was getting upset at the last night

out that they were at because he was talking to the people at the bar. And then she's like, we're going outside to talk. And then it starts raining. And then everybody's out there watching them and cheering. And the waiter brings over an umbrella. And it's like, okay, we're on a movie set. So then he's tried to play it up for the audience and be like, we're okay. everything's great over here and then he immediately starts acting like that again so yeah i think exactly saw all that and

it's like yeah this guy's clearly yeah she's like again it's just it's a below deck guy so a should know it's a below deck guy and honestly you can tell that this girl cat is a real sweetheart uh because i think for the first time ever maybe on any bravo show she's in her confessional she's crying she's literally crying and she's like oh i play like he played the shit out of me it's just i feel like shit we've seen this happen millions of times on millions of confessionals and for the first time ever we hear the producer say i'm sorry honey like an actual empathetic sympathetic sympathetic moment from a producer i was like this is bad okay now i'm really mad at coop because obviously this girl is so sweet enough that the producers are are like feeling bad for her okay and they're not humiliating her they're just showing like look at

this poor sweet girl like one of the sweetest girls we've ever had on this show show and this guy who acts like he is a southern gentleman or whatever is just breaking her heart. Yeah. So now Jen, you know, even dummies can do good sometimes. So she's with Coop and she's like, look, she's my bestie on this boat. And as much as she wants to be sure with everything, she's not. And she likes you. And he's like, well, look, at the end of the day, you get daddy for daddy. And I don't want cat to hurt. Okay. I'll have that conversation with her tomorrow. Okay, but she's upset right now. So see this guy, fuck this guy.

And he won't even really have that conversation, by the way. No. So, yeah, Kat's just like really embarrassed. That's ultimately what it is. She's embarrassed. She feels tricked. And I think the thing is also like there was no, nothing makes sense about it. Everything was fun and cute and nice.

And then all of a sudden, just not anymore. Like, and she has, she has no idea why. And like, it's really, it's alarming. And so it's not the first time he's done this, though, and that's what's so frustrating because we know because we've been through it for years, you know, or we've had more experiences and stuff. But like seeing someone so young just falling for this shit over and over again with someone like that because then he turns on the charm. It's like last time he ignored her and then he turned on the charm. And now he's doing it again and then he's going to turn on the charm again. You just keep getting on the ride, you know, get off the ride.

Yeah, I think Yeah, it's He's a dick So, I mean, of the dicks we've encountered On this show, he's a nicer dick, but he's still a dick, unfortunately, and it's sad because It's hard to feel like maybe he wouldn't be like all the other below deck guys, but the odds were stacked against him. He's a below deck guy, and he's from Charleston. There's just no way he's not going to be like this.

So meanwhile, Kaley basically tells Joe, Yeah, guess what? You're not getting anything for me tonight because I didn't like what you said. So bye, which I liked that from her. Oh, I love this because she goes, are you okay? You seem disparate. And he goes, it was a test and you passed. And she's like, oh, yeah, go to sleep.

You're not getting any tonight, buddy. I'm so surprised with Kelly because she came onto the season being very like, like, very positive and like, oh, I just love, I love happiness. I love being happy. I love being enthusiastic. And I thought she was. going to be sort of like a the type that would sort of fall into Joe's clutches and be like, oh, I just love him with, you know, like I thought she'd be, you know, optimistic about building a

relationship with him. Like she just rushes into relationships all happy, whatever. I was not expecting her to be very like clinical, not clinical, but, um, cut and dry about, you know, having hookups. I was, I'm totally shocked and delightfully so. Yeah. I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm totally shocked. And delightfully so. Yeah, I think she's great. And also just being like, okay, saying you can do whatever you want doesn't mean like go out of your way to be an asshole and hurt my feelings. Like that's just weird, you know? Yeah. Like if you're attracted to somebody else, be attracted to somebody else.

Like you're purposely going out of your way to hurt me to get kicks. And then being like, oh, you passed. Fuck off. Yeah. I'm passing on this opportunity. Okay. Thank you very much. So Aisha is texting Nathan again, and he says he's happy to be with the baby.

And Sandy comes in, and she's dressed like a pirate. She comes to Aisha's cabin. And she's like, hey, it's me. Captain Sandy, arg. We're going to do something wacky. I'm going to have you dress like a pirate because we're going to tell everybody they're going on a pirate ship tomorrow. And she's like, oh, I love the Sandy one. Great. So then they go door to door, dress as pirates, waking everyone up. And it's going to be wacky, big day. So they go to this pirate ship. And Isha's like, so coop, cooppy boopy. How are you going? He's like, I'm good. You know, I'm coming back to Loth. It was a great not, though. Had a lot of fun. You know, it's great. I'm got to have a conversation later. It's like you should. I feel like you're freaked out and pulled back. Don't do that. Just be communicative. He's like, he's like.

I got it. Keep it all bottled up in the inside and not really say anything about it. Okay, over and out. I just feel surprised how he's evolving. I thought he was this nice southern boy. And I don't know if it's because Joe's maybe rubbing off on him, literally, figuratively, or if this was just him all along. But he'd better make it right. It's wonderful. So Joe and Kaylee are talking elsewhere, and he's like, Kaylee, I made a mistake.

didn't I when I went up to you and I said I'm going to go speak to other girls. Oh. And she's like, you're going to get upset about that? Go ahead. She's like, well, you know, I didn't care that that you did it, but I cared more as like a friend. Like I felt like maybe you don't need to do that in front of my face. Like if I was making out with a guy, maybe that wouldn't be very nice to you. But to be honest, I can't be bothered to have fights. I think we should really just like pause, please. Oh, well, we're young. We're having fun. Let's just see what happens. Is she saying pause on the fight or a pause on the hookups?

I assumed hookups. Yeah, that's what I thought too. But yeah, now that I think about it, maybe she just meant like, yeah, I'm not going to fight with you. Because he's like, ha, we're going to have a talk. She's like, yeah, I can't be bothered to fight with you. Sorry. Not important enough to fight with eyebrows. Okay.

Yeah. So then Coop sits next to Cat and Cat's like, oh, how was your night? And he's like, it was good. I had a good night too. Didn't seem like it. Well, it was awkward. Well, there were definitely some animosities coming towards me by the end of the night. See, like, I hate that.

Like, you know, the animosity started with you. When you ignored her and you were being cold to her, that's the animosity. Don't make it seem like it was coming towards you. Like, you're the victim here. Yeah, I had some things that got off my chest. And then he just walks away and she's like, uh, don't, didn't he say something here where he's like, um, yeah. So we're just like. So that's that or like let's show those later or something.

Oh, that's the second version of the conversation. Oh, okay. So he just walks off and she's like, uh, Jen comes over and sits with Kat. And Jen's like, was it good? And she's like, no, what the fuck is happening? Well, like, what the hell?

And so, um, so Coop then he like, he just goes over to Joy and starts talking to Joy. Um, and, and so then Joy is like, I don't know. why you don't want to marry her. She has everything. And he's like, yeah, she's a good person.

Yeah. So they arrived at this beach club. Meanwhile, they can't even get away from each other because they're on this tiny pirate boat. So they keep like switching to have conversations and everybody can just see each other on this pirate. You know, kind of hear each other on this pirate. This show. Yeah. And so they're at the beach club.

They're partying. Luke sends a video to Joy. And he's like, salue, Joy. That's me working on my French. Hope you're having a wonderful day, wonderful end of charter. Let me know how you are. I'd love to hear from you. Chao.

Oh, I apologize. Auvoir, French. Hey, show we your old cheese to Luke. And they all give a big cheers to Luke. And she's like, I do not want to hear that name again. Like, I want to have a good day. Please, why are they talking about Luke now? Cheese.

And Joe's like, well, Luke, he's a good, he's a nice guy. Regardless of what happened. That's sad to see him leave. But he's missed. And she's like, ugh, I actually thought this was disrespectful, quite frankly. Jen is a monster, but I've, Luke, Luke was mean to her. I'm sorry, Luke was a dick to her. And Luke was like the, like, she's absolutely right when she says in like two seconds, you know, like, Luke was the one who literally came on his boss of sheets and played two girls on the same boat.

Why are we celebrating this guy? And I 100% agree. I think this was like obnoxious. It makes her feel really uneasy. They all know what he did to her. And they're like, oh, but he's a good guy. He's a good guy. It's like, oh, boys will be boys.

I thought it was actually really obnoxious. Well, unfortunately, Jen's not a nice person and everybody knows it. So, you know, I don't think anybody's just not nice. So I don't think that anybody's. And also, remember the night when it ended with Luke and she was like, I'm going to have a talk over here. And then she kept calling people. She called like four different people to chat during the dinner.

She's just, I think she's just so much drama and she's so obnoxious and clearly acting like a narcissist, you know, asshole that nobody cares. And Luke was nice. And then Luke did his shit and was like, but I'm so sorry. And then he gets puppy doll guys and all of that stuff. Jen's just never going to get the response she wants from people because she's not good to people. Yeah. That I agree. Luke was an asshole.

But, you know. But she has no social. capital on this boat so no one cares if she's unhappy you know and it was also it was also like oh she likes him well i'm not going to have a love triangle so i'm going to go interrupt them and get him for you know that whole thing was she was acting like an asshole in that triangle as well so i don't think anybody's going to feel for jen yeah but i just still also think that like i think luke was a dipshit and i don't i mean maybe they must have really there must have been the side of Luke that they all saw and they really enjoyed because the fact that joy is still texting

with him they're all raising their glass to Luke you know we did see in the first episode or two he has like a goofy side that was kind of funny and there must be something because I just feel like like why does Luke get this like heroic edit you know like edit not on the show but like amongst these people in their minds um I'm like it just feels it feels weird feels privileged I don't know I don't If it's heroic, I think it's just that he keeps calling. You know, like, he's still around and he keeps calling. Usually they're just gone. You know how below deck people are.

It's like once you're on there, they're like a brotherhood or a sisterhood or whatever. A fraternity. Yeah. You know what I'm trying to say. So maybe it's just that because he's always calling. He's still there. I know, seriously. And he also apologizes and stuff, which Jen doesn't really do.

Mm-hmm. Well, but it's all. it's all insincere It's all bullshit But yeah, exactly Yeah But it's like you're You've got one asshole

Who is like really apologetic And really performative Like I'm a good person And then you just have an asshole who's an asshole so Yeah Coop when making an effort's gonna win You know Coop is like

He asks Aisha if he should check on Jen And she's like that's probably a good idea Which is also shows that Aisha does not like Jen Because Aisha does not go after her So Jen's like I ask everyone respectfully for my own mental health. Let's not talk about Luke. And he's somehow like he's somehow screwed joy over.

I don't know why that fuck. She's still talking to him. It's like, yeah, I'm sorry. You feel like that. Anytime you need anything, I'm a Southern gentleman again. She's like, thank you. I really appreciate that. Yeah, Jen's definitely a little harsh.

But at the end of the day, you get daddy for daddy. And I feel like we're all a team. So I do want to be there to support her just as I want there to be support for everyone. Except for cash. She has too much, too much pressure to support. So we can have just one big happy family. Yeah. So then Joe asked Kaylee about her and Jen.

And he's like, is Jen still mad at you? And she's like, oh, yeah. You know, I'm realizing how immature she is. I wasn't cunning for second. I mean, she was obviously. And I think this all just stems from that. I mean, she wants more, you know, it just didn't work at. And she's like upset.

And Jen's just kind of there. lingering around them. She like walks up and Kaylee doesn't stop talking. She finishes her sentence and it's just like, yeah. Kayla's like, fuck this bitch. So now Aisha is like, Cooper, I think

that you should get your convoy one over with cat. Okay. He's like, yeah, okay, I can handle. It doesn't need to be an operation. I'll get it done. Meanwhile, over on the yacht, Sandy gets it. She's like, oh, I got a text from non-norma. maybe she was really weirded out after our last conversation when I started I inhabited her body and then just she wound up texting herself that was so weird when that happened but look it's from a bravo deckhand a bravado deckhand saying captain I can come whoa finally yes got a deckhand summer salt summer salt emigplant eggplant summer salt god I wonder who this could be so she makes a call to the mystery man and she's like thank god I don't think

think anybody has ever said that when they found out that max has been put on their stuff i think this is the first time so congrats to him no i'm so upset that they're bringing max back for a third time like i cannot stand this guy i don't i just don't i personally don't think he's good tv i think he's just annoying you know it's not like ellie who they bring back and she is she could be like an absolute monster but she's just like deeply entertaining max is just annoying he's just like an annoying man child like a 13-year-old child bouncing off the walls who needs to be put into a shot collar. So everyone is changing

for dinner. And the point is that they bring him back to trigger Nathan, but Nathan's not there. So, I mean, I guess I see what they're doing. They're like, let's see if we can make Joe just as crazy. It's like, be careful what you wish for kind of thing. Like, okay, now you're in charge, but

you've got Max. So, Coop, it's like, okay, time to have this conversation with Kat we're gonna you know get on the same wavelength and uh we're gonna work well i'm gonna let her know how i feel he says so uh should we go ahead and just do this which is a great way to start a sensitive conversation and she's like um right here she's like yeah why not hey let's just be friends and bob and like that's all that needs to be said right let's just have a great for good time okay let's just be

besties okay great see you later oh my gosh and everyone's showing up as he says that and she's like she's telling us, is that a breakup? And the producer asked Cooper. So are you feeling like you're on the same page now? And he's like, yeah, we're pretty much on the same page without the page being announced. But I feel like it doesn't need to be talked about. We're good. Let's just move on.

Great. She's like, what was that? That was awful. So now they go to dinner. And Cooper is, he's tired. And Kaylee's like, you're being honest and good to my girl, right? He's like, 100%. I said, I'm outy-five thousand, right?

And then Kat and Jan are on the other end of the table. And Kat's like, do you want to know what our chat was? He goes, let's have our chat. So we're good, yeah? And we're like, so done. Like, I'm never lowering my standards because I think I'm valuable. I wish Kat had remembered that she had said this by the end of the episode. I know.

I wish she stuck with that. So, it's just like, okay, this energy. is really weird tonight much awkward energy so then she gets a maraca and then things are never the same isn't this where she gets her a little morocca thing yeah she starts shaking this maraca and she shakes it for the rest of the episode and it is so annoying like she's really just shaking it nonstop she's just in bed alone just shaking it's like a fidget spinner for her it's she woke up taking it it's the max of props like put it down put it down why did she oh Who gave that to her? She's like, well, it's been a long day. And the only thing that's been able to break the attention is the Maraca! As you just start shaking it like crazy on screen. I was like, okay, please don't make this running gag for episodes.

So then we go back to the crew cabins and Aisha is still with the Maraca and CatTex Coupe and she's like, I'm not ending the day like this. He goes, okay, meet on the bio Boson's locker. So now they go hide in that little locker. They shouldn't be allowed to do this. You guys are on a TV show. What the hell are you hiding? Like people do that to have sex, not to have this conversation.

I know. That's the thing, too. It's like this is this does not have to be a hidden hidden from production conversation. Like this, you guys are literally acting like you're doing something illicit right now. And so, uh, he's like, I don't really like talking about my emotions, but she does. So I'm here for that if she needs it. But since there was some. that I think it's best we just part wise.

So then she's like, what's been up with you late? What the fuck's been up with you lately? And he is like, like, you know, all everyone wants to talk about is you and on. I feel like it's just a whole eyes on us. She's like, well, how do you think I feel? Okay. And now I just feel stupid. Like I did something wrong.

And then he pulls out the typical thing. And we already saw Luke do it this season. Yeah. Or he was like, do not tell a single soul that this. that we're hooking up. It's the big secret. So he's like, well, I do like you. But hey, look, I've got an idea.

What if we kept doing what we wanted to do, but told the rest of the crew we weren't hanging out anymore? Because then we could have fun and sneak around just like sneak snooches. Oh, yeah. So you can make her look fucking crazy the next time you go out and make up with somebody, which you will. And then she gets all upset and you're like, see, I told you guys she was crazy.

We're not even together. Yeah, this seems like a great plan. What could possibly go wrong? Because she's like, okay, that's kind of fun. Like, it's like, cool. Like, we're like sneaking around. Like, that's actually kind of cool. It's like, no, until you're going to decide you don't want to sneak around anymore.

And you're like, why can't I? If I like someone, if he likes me and I like him, why can't we hold hands in public, you know, or kiss when we're out for dinner? Like, this is a manipulation tactic. So he can get what he wants from you and then also get what he wants from anybody else and then make you look fucking insane. God damn. And he says, he's like, well, what I hang around her. She's, you know, she's beautiful and she's got a great smile and just, she just pulls me back in. Sometimes I feel like I probably shouldn't, but there is still attraction and it continues to happen, which is his quote unquote Southern gentleman way of saying, I'm not really into her, but she's hot.

So I still want to have the option to bang her if I can. 100%. Don't ever, ever, ever be with someone who tells you, we should keep this a secret. Never. It is never worked out. It's bad. It's terrible. So now it's a new day. And Kaylee is, Kaylee's decided that she's going to have a talk with Jen because she needs to, she knows that Jen doesn't like her. She doesn't even like Jen that much, but she needs to sort of get that under control. So she's going to, that's her plan for the day. And then Coop and Cat are talking over breakfast and they're, they're all of a sudden being very,

chummy again but it's secret and cats like day one of the secret relationship with cooper is very heated rivalry like no it is just as boring it is just as boring that's for sure yeah but the thing is it you know it's heated rivalry coated but it's the closeted relationship that the guy has with the movie star you know when he starts dating the starlet or whatever and she's finally like uh yeah exactly You're not the main couple. You're the, you're the one that's kind of being fucked over here. Yeah, the difference between this inheeded rivalry is that in heated rivalry, both people like each other.

That's not what's happening here. So Sandy's like, okay, everyone, preference sheet meeting. Okay, Bunny is an economist. I don't know why that was like the funny. Bunny is an economist. not what I was expecting the first description of Bunny to be. Bunny is an economist, an entrepreneur, and a visionary, launching their new venture, econ club to celebrate.

They're taking their closest friends, Jace, Jordan, Judah, Jokoya, and Jolla, and Jolla, and Jara, but they don't talk to Tierra because Tierra doesn't start with a J. And they barely even talk to Sequoia. They only talk to Sequoia because they think it's Jokoya. Really, only J is allowed and Bunny. So anyway, they're here to honor their success. Bunny demands the best from gluten-free nighttime snacks to vegan cuisine.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, no, here we go. They've had it too easy. I think they're like, okay, everybody, it's been pretty easy so far. So here you go. Gluten free and vegan and everyone else is just as picky and fabulous. Oh, no, I've heard that. I'm going to say right now.

None of them will be fabulous. So Sandy's like, oh, and Joe, guess what? I'm going to have you as Bose. Whoa, is that a pencil in your pocket? Are you just happy to see some stripes? Whoa, here you go, Joey boy. He's like, might be TMI, but I'm a wrecked. We know.

You're always a wrecked. It's the best thing about you. Captain Sandy support means the world to me. I don't know how long. I've got to prove my worth. So I'm going to take advantage of every minute. I'm going to hit the ground running like a sprinter. That's what you get with Joe's bossen.

I'm the fucking Joeson, baby. Okay. So Kaylee pulls Jen for a chat. And she's like, you know, I just wanted to have a little chat with you before we go on the next charter. You're just so good at your job, Jen. Good at your job, Jen. That's your nickname right here. Job Jen Job.

Jen Job. You're just so good at it, you care so much, and I'm sorry if I ever made you think that I thought otherwise, because it's just not the case. It's like, yeah, like, I just think, like, a lot of things we're not going correctly, and like a lot of communication, which is up, down the drain. Well, coming into this next charter, I want you to know that I do have your book, but I will make mistakes, and I've made mistakes. She's like, oh, yeah, it's called appetizer plate. Where were they? I mean, oyster and caviar on a bread plate. I mean, bitch, please.

Yeah, so anyway, so I just, you know, I make mistakes. That's just what happens. And this is my nice way of saying, don't fucking come for me, bitch, because I'm the one in charge. Okay. She really handled this so well because when she was kind of smart with her, she's like, yeah. She's like, yeah. I made so many mistakes. Yeah, isn't it funny?

And it just kind of disarms Jen. You know, she doesn't really know what to do. So she's like, well, I mean, I'm glad she took the initiative to talk to me, but I still don't think she knows what she's doing. So I'm just going to stay in my light from my charter. I'm like, you know, I'm not going to say if she was on fire, I would watch her burn. But I definitely wouldn't use my strongest toes. Because like, yeah, what I do.

Yeah, famously, that's what Paul says to his mom. You all know that when you signed out of doing NDA. So Kaylee's like, we're going to kill this next child or raw? She's like, yeah, we got it. So Sandy's like, okay, I have good news. I have good news. I have a deckhand starting today, Aisha and Joe, and he has experience. And both of you know him.

You can watch the Odyssey with him, but you have to take off the eye. It's Max. It's Max. And everyone starts cheering. Has nobody watched his show? What are you cheering about? And Joe's like, oh, the man is absolutely half his nut. I mean, he's but shit crazy. I've seen him drive Nathan off the wall. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little bit nervous, but I've got it covered.

Yeah. And so Max is like, hello, I'm back. So annoying. But then the previews for next week, We see that Nathan texts Max and it's like, have my back no matter what, and I'll make you lead deckhand, which I think is so fucking toxic. Nathan is actually a really bad boss. He's really falling off this year. You know, he's really, he's really gone off the deep end this year.

And I get, like, he has a new baby, blah, blah, blah. I get it. He's just, he's been a fucking asshole this whole year. And to see that he's this immature, it's great. It's basically a wonderful. parallel with House of the Dragon, which we will be recapping next. But you see, power corrupts. Power corrupts. Paranoia, ego. It all comes in. Gotta watch out. Yeah.
