Below Deck #5 ⚓️

[Louanne]

I have to say, I liked Alésia las season, but I can see why Ben is getting annoyed with her. She moans a lot about fucking up, but several times Ben has asked for specific things, she's done something different, and then she gets annoyed that he picks her up on it?
He tried to help by giving instruction but despite admitting she's had no training, she still thinks she knows best? Makes no sense.

And these RH guests are fucking vile.

 

[Louanne]

Alesias such a pick me

The funny thing is that she and Ellie aren't actually that different.

 

[givemethenight]

I really don’t like Nathan. He’s a shit bosun.

He’s hot-headed (remember how he used to lose his rag with Max all the time last season?)
He’s petty
Poor leader - does not lead by example or encourage his team
Seems to just shout at people instead of teaching/leading them
Holds grudges
Let’s personal shit get in the way of his work all the time

And no-one gives a shit about his relationship with “perfect” Gael and the baby

 

[CaesarSaladFingers]

What was the guest arrested for??

Child pornography and grooming. It was this guy... https://www.yahoo.com/news/breaking-gay-porn-star-austin-215958750.html

He was mostly edited out, but he's been blurred in some shots that are from a distance.

 

[Louanne]

So my thoughts after BDM Episode 1:

Captain Sandy ... MEH!

Joe ... still a sex pest and gives total ick vibes.

Nathan ... needs to get a grip.

Gen ... going to be a total pain in the arse.

Joy ... seems like a good addition.

Aesha ... still probably one of my fave BD cast members despite the voice.

Others ... need more time to get to know them.

Format ... seems to have gone more 'back to basics' and I hope they stick with that.

Have to say, I'm sure I've seen Captain Sandy have a bump on a previous season, but she said this was the first time she's ever crashed???

Luke is despicable. The way he spoke to Gen when they were getting into the taxis was horrible, he has no respect for her. Joe trying to find a polite way to tell Nathan "bro, you've been sleeping in someone else's jizz" had me cackling. Chef Joy is a queen as always. It says a lot about her that she defended Gen to Luke even though they don't get along on a personal level.

I can't wait to see Captain Sandy's reaction.

 

[jenmarks]

And both completely lacking in self-awareness. It's crazy that neither of them could understand how totally unacceptable their behaviour was.

 

[Maid22]

Well its the producers decision anyway. Lets face it

Yes!
And what was the chance of Ben dming Ellie 2 weeks before asking for a date that's not 'manifesting' that's a total set up!!

 

[Mishella]

Alesia's behaviour is odd. Did anyone else catch where she took Jenna's necklace from her room to give to Eddy to wear for the drag night? Jenna seemed surprised and mildly affronted, and I don't blame her. I'm sure she'd have been more than willing to lend it to Eddy if he had asked her.

Didn’t she take the gift that jenna got from the last guest as well

 

[givemethenight]

Wow. I thought he was pretty thick before, but this just confirms it. And racist too. Does he not realise how many countries around the world the Irish are immigrants in?!

Can’t deal with this level of ignorance.

 

[Louanne]

Kizzy was infuriating, loving the drama of it and making it all about her. At least Joe is showing some remorse, despite being a dick.

Joe's only sorry he has to own up, and he doesn't want to have to face the consequences of that. He's not one bit sorry for what he did.
He hasn't given a shit about V while she has been off the boat. Out of site, out of mind for him.
Kizzi and Joe are actually a good match, because they're both 'any port in a storm' kind of people.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Kyle/ Stillie/ Scottish is now on OnlyFans. I'll not be taking one for the team and subscribing.

 

[dontcome@me]

Ben came across terribly in that episode. Spoilt child throughout but especially going in the guest cabin, I would be fuming too if I had done my job and cleaned the cabin and changed the bed ahead of guests checking in the next day and a staff member went in and slept in it knowing that it would have to be redone the next day. The way the “department heads” are speaking to each other is terrible and unfortunately because Daisy and Joao have “muddied the waters” they’re going to be accused of siding against Ben because they’re flirting/ shagging

 

[Louanne]

I’m so glad that Nathan tells Sandy about the gross sheets

at first when Joe told him Nathan was making a joke about it and I thought he’d be weirdly ok with it . I think perhaps if Luke had used that opportunity to apologise things wouldn’t have escalated . But he was smirking and made it worse !

Luke and Gen should both be gone, there's no excuse. Yes it's the boys room, but she was in there and could've stripped the sheets and taken them off to laundry with her shitty attitude.
She also kept it from Nathan, so they're both as guilty as each other.

 

[cshellscshellsonthecshore]

I dislike Gen more and more with every episode.

I can’t work out if she’s behaving the way she is because she knows how to make air time on reality tv, or she’s a fucking fruitloop. My gut is saying the latter

 

[DoseofReality]

As if production or Captain Sandy didn't know Joe and Nathan weren't speaking. The drama they know that will bring is the only reason they're on board.

 

[KerGlr5]

Betul was bang on when she said this is just karma for Eddy as he did exactly the same thing earlier in the season!

 

[Ticktickmeh]

Final episode felt rushed. And a bit lack luster.

 

[JuneJuneHannah]

Whenever Tzarina pisses me off I remind myself how good she was with Margot last season after the Luke thing.

 

[stinkerella]

That anti immigration racist rant put me off him completely. Glad he’s broken up with Gael. He’s thick as a brick.
