Below Deck: Bosun Blues

Okay, I think we only have two Charters left. How does Kelley end up pissing off Captain Lee this week when he is the only exterior crew that wasn’t part of the drunk debacle last week. How is this possible?  Is it tricky editing?

I did want to mention some sad news. Nico’s brother died yesterday at the age of 21 from a tragic fall off a balcony in Chicago. He had gone to a concert and had a good bit to drink. Then he went to his brother’s (not Nico) and went out on the balcony to smoke and fell three floors head first into concrete.  It was just such a sad story to tell, I didn’t want to do the post. Nico was proud that his brother was able to donate all of his organs. Sending out positive vibes to the family and friends.

It looks like Ben passed out in the master bed with Kyle and he never got to choke his chicken. Ben had to be forced by Kate to get up so the stews could clean the room. She immediately sees the dislocated panel on the bathroom wall. It looks like kids on Spring Break in a cheap Daytona Beach condo partied in there. Don’t ask me how I know this. Thank God the guys in Daytona ponied up for the BUSTED DOWN DOOR!  Allegedly.  But back to the show. Apparently the panel that Ben and Nico and Lauren busted houses the wiring and stuff for the fancypants toilet the boat has that is similar to the on in the master at Moore Manor.  Those toilets range from $10K – $40K and if it is broken they are screwed and will have to cancel the remaining charters or have no master bathroom.

Captain Lee lays into the four idiots that demolished the bathroom. Kelley and Kate also got their asses chewed out. Just last week, and even on his blog, Captain Lee said Kelley did the right thing by going to bed early. And we know Kate can do no wrong. This is the maddest Captain Lee has ever been. He tells Kelley not to stick his head in the sand. He has confined the four of them to their quarters and while he is venting and admonishing Kelley and Kate he can hear them laughing. He says if he catches any of them out of their quarters tonight, he will “fucking go off.”

Below deck Captain Lee

 

Lauren, Nico and Ben discuss their plight.  Nico blames Kate for ratting on them. What exactly was she supposed to do? Ben says no one yanked the panel out, “It just popped out.”   This is when they were all laughing. Kyle has all but disappeared in a cloud of anger somewhere.  Kelley tells Nico and Lauren they have to be in bed by 10 pm. Nico is doing a whole lot of trash talking about Kelley.  Those two have a major confrontation. Nico doesn’t seem to get what he’s done.

To make matters worse, Dean Slover is there. Ben is already on a short fuse and Dean always has high demands of Ben. And by high demands I mean he expects Ben to feed him on his schedule not whenever Ben gets around to it. This is a problem with him every season. And he is one of those people who sends things back. I’ve been known to send things back before but not like Dean. He sends lots of things back.

The obnoxious partiers  just will not stop whining and blaming Kate and Kelley for their predicament. I’m not sure if this is storyline to show off the fancy toilet, or a real event.

James, Ben’s brother was allowed to come say good-bye to Ben on the boat. Ben tells him to come at 9 pm. They are all confined to quarters at 10 pm. At 10:08 they are still up and James is still there and Ben is still pissy. Captain Lee is sitting in the main salon just watching. At 11 pm Ben, James and Emily are still drinking whiskey and eating caviar and reminiscing about jolly old England in the kitchen when Captain Lee approaches. He throws out James and sends Ben to bed. Ben follows orders and kisses Emily goodnight as well.

The cameraman seems to like close, revealing shots of Nico’s underpants. By the time the time Slover and his posse arrive the bathroom wall has been fixed, and the boat is ready to go. Even Nico and Kelley are being cordial after a full night’s sleep.

The first thing they server Dean and his collection of hot, buff playthings, is a tall glass of egg salad of some sort with caviar on top. With a metal spoon. I hate caviar, but even I know you don’t serve it with a metal spoon. Ben put the spoons in the glass himself to try to avoid the caviar. I can tell already this will be the first disaster from Ben.  Somehow, this course goes along with no issue. I am amazed. Maybe it was edited out.  Nope, Dean comes in and gives Ben some high compliments.  It seems like moments after lunch the guys are served a gorgeous charcuterie and some “skinny girl margaritas.”  Oh that Bethenny.  They were the homemade kind, but still.

BELOW DECK BEN
No one every sends back my high fructose corn syrup!

Kelley heads off to get the fireworks that Dean Slover wanted and Ben asks him to pick up the flower arrangement he got for Emily because her birthday is within a day or two. Now Captain Lee is pissy about the flowers for no reason and Kelley is going to get an ass chewing once again.  To make things worse, Kelley tapped the bow with the tinder while Captain Lee was watching.  This is just ridiculous. I know they love to have a scapegoat every season, but they always pick the most unlikely people to take the fall.

Meanwhile, Kate has planned a Chinese New Year’s dinner. But she’s been pissy with Ben and Emily because she thinks their romance was the reason she got called off her break to get back on service. There is no way in hell that Kate really thought she was taking a break with her favorite charter on board in the middle of the day. Why must they over produce this show so much. I’d think the actual unscripted events would be interesting enough.

None of the guests like the duck and shrimp hot noodle dish. It looked amazing to me. They said it lacked flavor. Ben keeps saying this is the first dish he has ever had sent back. Does he think we don’t watch the show? Dean sends stuff back every season. And there have been others. Just this season the people with all the weird dietary restrictions were pissy as well.  Ben tastes the dish and realizes that he dropped ice in the soup to stop the shrimp from cooking and it diluted the broth and the seasonings.  Meanwhile Sierra, the worst stew ever spills gallons of broth on the floor of the main salon. Yet, she’s never in any trouble.

When Kelley got in trouble for whatever irked the Captain, Captain Lee said he was going to implement some changes. Kelley is nervous he is going to lose a stripe. Even Nico thinks that would be ridiculous.

Ben is thrilled with the flowers that he got for Emily. Ben is definitely straight. It’s quite the monstrosity. Emily loves them and that is what counts.

Captain Lee seems nicer in the morning. He decides to give Nico a second chance and tells him to take Nico and Dean to The Baths, a beach park with cool caves and rock formations in Virgin Gorda. Dean decides he doesn’t want to take the taxi ride back to the boat. He wants Kelly to bring the tinder around and they can swim out to meet him. When Kelley left the tinder to go to the swim spot with all the stuff, he told Nico that the keys were in the top of one of the coolers. But when Kelley got back to the tinder, he thinks Nico has the keys. For some reason they only took one radio and Nico has that too. How is Nico supposed to swim to the tinder with the radio? IDGI. But Kelley has to call Captain Lee and ask him to tell Nico to bring the keys. Oh, I see. Nico kept the cooler with the keys. These things happen all the time.  But Captain Lee and Kate are spinning this into a whole big ordeal. What happened to island time? I am sure Dean is just fine on a gorgeous beach for an extra twenty minutes. All of these people need to take a Xanax.

But next week, Dean gets to have his requisite temper tantrum, Captain Lee will throw his dick on the table… oh wait, maybe not, we’ve all seen Kelley’s dick, that is not the kind of dick swinging contest you will win with Kelley. Captain Lee will scream at Kelley and Kyle’s girlfriend will arrive and hopefully kill Sierra. Because I really need her to get some of the manufactured punishments being doled out.

    What’s with everybody getting to bring along a family member/significant other at some point this season? I don’t like it at all, there’s enough drama with the guests and cast.

    And seriously, I just can’t with the fucking Aunt Jemimah. Twice now Ben has served it with delicious looking French toast or pancakes. Just, no.

    Okay so I am the worse cook in the world and even I know if you want to stop the the cooking of something you drop it in ice separately. It’s called blanching. You don’t do it in the damn soup.

    I am in a like/hate thing with Kelly. I liked him this week. He was cool about getting flowers for Emily.

    Nico’s crotch shot was ummm interesting.

    This episode was over produced, to the extent that it was obnoxious. Shit falls apart on high speed boats all the time. If I had a dollar for every time something’s fallen apart on our boat, I’d have enough money to fix everything that’s fallen apart on the damn boat. If that panel fell off the wall from some light rough housing, it was bound to fall off eventually on its own from the rough water conditions the boat travels on its daily excursions. They have a maintenance crew, and Kate could have called them to make the simple repair in no time at all. Even if wiring for the 10K toilet was broken, the electrician could fix that too. Bottom line, mountain out of mole hill. And, could Bravo please stop filling the boat with D list celebrities and bring us some unique/original guests to ogle at? I used to really enjoy Below Deck, but I found myself yelling at the TV tonight. Damn you Bravo!

      You are missing the point. The damage shouldn’t have occurred in the first place. It doesn’t matter if it can be easily fixed.

      But only D list celebrities will sign a contract that says it’s OK if the crew slanders you behind the scenes and on-camera, puts your clothes on when you’re not around and fornicates on the dock right within view of the boat.

    First I wanted to comment on the honesty of this blog I love it. Second I think Dean is a horrible guest and they need to kick him off and never have him back. Do you think they will bring back the show for another season? Thank you again for the vibrant feedback on the shows

    I am glad Captain Lee was strict with the crew, they should have been in trouble for their behavior. I cannot stand Lauren. I think Dean would be an easy guest. He is open about what he wants and when he wants it. No surprises with him. Just do want he wants, he is paying big bucks and should be treated with the respect of any paying guest. The giant flowers was not a good gift as this is a yacht not a big house. Emily has no place to put them…just stupid..give her a nice gold pendant and chain. Bravo is trying their best to ruin this fun show. They think everyone wants to see mean people yelling and fighting.Bravo listen up, we don’t! We like happy shows about luxury yatchs and beautiful vacations. Not assholes confined to their quarters! So quit it Bravo, you are turning your fans away. And yes,I woke up in the middle of the night with one of those screaming nightmares that I have from time to time. Hubby was rubbing my arm and softly saying , wake up, you are just having a bad dream. He can be such a sweetheart. The dog was looking at me with tilted head and he laid close to me, he is a little love dog.
    Thank you for the great recap Tamra, as you see,you are my go to in the night . I wish you and Banjo the best in whatever is going on with you. I have not forgotten and you are in my prayers.

    These people are exhausting and yet I tune in every week. Captain Lee should know about the damage to the broken toilet. Ultimately he is responsible for the boat and it’s owner. Kate didn’t rat anyone out. I get it that they’re kids and want to blow off steam but the party that damaged the pooper was totally out of line. And Ben definitely should know better. Every week I realize just how much he is a douche bag – run Emily, run. But she too is a terrible crew member. She ignored the guests while Kate was on break. Totally out of character she didn’t chew “Ems” out. And the cherry on top is she asks Kate if Kate is upset with her. Way to go for making it Kate’s problem and not taking any responsibility for ignoring the guest. Emily should be apologizing to Kate for not doing what she was told to do And my lord, I know we received that same floral arrangement when my mom died. I really don’t think I’d miss this show if it is canceled. By the way the way these kids drink it’s a wonder they can stand the next day much less clean the boat.

    Capt. Lee was correct reining in these crew members. Kate got in trouble too by letting Kyle use the room. Nico and Lauren are jerks and find it hard to believe they had prior experience. Kyle was right that Lauren has no respect for the boat. Ben is acting like a child this season. The Capt is right, it is not their party boat and he is the law as far as the high seas goes.

    The cuts in editing made me dizzy. And I really hate that I cannot find any place besides social media to give an opinion of Bravo’s current gameplan.
    I want to say to them that I won’t watch shows that feature diseases. I have been very ill and just hearing talk about disease gives me anxiety. I am sick of screaming. I am sick of made up storylines. Thanks. Now I feel better.

    Any chef worth his salt knows to taste any blended dish before it goes out on the floor. Why would he add ice to the completed dish and not cool the shrimp separately? Stupid mistake, but at least it was real. I can’t believe that the crew this season is such a mess – so much has to be staged. Still, I love Below Deck in all its guises and I’ll be watching next year. By the way, is anyone else having trouble leaving comments? I keep getting told to enter a valid url when I enter the one I’ve always used before.

      try it without the http part just tamaratattles.com for example. Word Press is undergoing a new version update and we have had a LOT of “new features” and changes on the admin end that SUCK. I don’t think you even have to put in a url at all.

    Love this show but I can’t help not to notice it’s more and more drama. I’d like it to stay funny and just folllowomg the daily lives of below deck with a bit of drama but not lettting to control the show (like the housewives show bullishit), that’s just TOXIC to watch. Hoe it stays real.

    I find it just a tad bit crazy that Ben is wanting his brother to tell him he should marry Emily. I mean they barely know one another. I know there is a lot we don’t see but……maybe like Lu he just “knows”. I just find it silly they keep trying to drag Kate and him into something again with innuendos
    and psychic readings etc. I hope it is real but it is sure reigning havoc on the crew.
    Kelly just can’t seem to win. I don’t know. The deck crew takes advantage and Nico was a little bratty yesterday I think. Don’t know why they just can’t do their jobs they seem competent enough.

    I feel so bad for NIco and his entire family. That is so heartbreaking. Wishing them all peace of heart and love.
