Below Deck Mediterranean: Double Trouble

May 30, 2017 by tamaratattles 21 Comments

When we last left off, the crew was amid a major malfunction.  Somehow, the anchors allow to get all twisted up into a gigantic knot. It was starting to look like cutting the anchors was the only way to go, and that would essentially end the season.  But after nine hours, Wes managed to get the anchors unwound and back into the ship.

Captain Sandy calls the tip meeting but first she addressed Bobby’s disrespectful behavior. Only she didn’t directly call him out like she should have. They each got $1,500.  I really wish Captain Sandy would have ripped him a new one. Captain Lee has torn into people for a lot less. On shore leave, all the guys are attracted to Malia. Adam and Wes both vie for her affections.

The new guests are celebrating birthdays and an anniversary. It’s a lot to pack in a one night cruise. They are normal people from  San Diego. It looks like a nice easy trip. They do want all of the toys unpacked though, and that generally entails a lot of whining by the crew. Actually there wasn’t any whining at all. But there was an accident. Two of the women were being pulled on the inflatable banana behind the tender when they flipped at a fairly high speed. One of the women may have bruised her ribs but she’s going to be fine. 

We got a nice little glimpse at Croatia this episode. The guests had lunch at a winery and Adam and Bugs went to buy fresh fish and produce and grabbed a bit to eat. Bugsy’s grandmom’s funeral was that day and everyone is trying to cut Bugs a bit of slack. Adam has newfound respect for Bugsy and her professionalism.

Lauren is stuck in the laundry room all day ironing. I could not imagine a worse job. Both Bugsy and Hannah think she is slacking. I don’t see it, but I suppose everyone needs a storyline.  Later in the day both Hannah and Bugsy take a break leaving Lauren to set up for dinner service. The guests made ten friends at the winery and they are all coming back for drinks. Lauren is the only stewardess on hand. This will not go well.

Lauren was holding her own but Adam felt the need to get Hannah up to assist. While I agree with Adam, Lauren asked him not to disturb Hannah and it wasn’t really her place. Everyone seems awfully mean to Lauren. This is starting to feel like a Rocky situation.  I was really unhappy with the way Captain Lee treated Rocky. I expected it from the crew but Captain Lee did not care for Rocky one little bit. Surely there were things we didn’t know about that situation. Even Adam is slamming Lauren. That’s not cool.

Hannah and Bugs set up an elaborate toga party for their Croatian dinner. Lauren appears to be on break. She is asking people to rub her shoulder which is killing her from all the ironing.  Bugs get all of the credit.

One of the older men has been a grouch the entire time. He doesn’t like the toga party. He didn’t like being asked to leave the dining room while the girls were doing the set up. And now one of the guys is asking him to contribute to the tip since he hasn’t been pulling his weight. A disagreement breaks out over how much tip they should leave right in front of the crew. It is all very awkward.

Once again, Bobby makes major mistakes on the docking and drops the stern line in the water were it could get caught in the propellers. Other than the cranky old man, the guest left extremely pleased with the trip.

At the tip meeting, Captain Sandy passes out $1,100 per crew member for the one night charter. That’s a nice tip! Again, Captain Sandy does not call Bobby out for his crew mistakes. Instead she praised him for jumping in to say the injured woman after Malia told him to ten times. Oh Captain Sandy.  After the meeting Lauren and Bugsy are chatting and Hannah storms in to make things worse. Lauren feels overwhelmed and unappreciated and this is not helping. Lauren is thinking she made a mistake in taking the job.I realize she is third stew but it hardly seems fair that she gets ALL the shit work while the other two decorated tables and pour cocktails.

The crew is getting ready for shore leave and Bobby is feeling left out of the quest to bed Malia. He’s sort of creepy in the way he compliments her. Apparently, Adam really does live in a van down by the river. But it’s a very nice van and more of a tiny RV.  Wes tries to use the van against Adam and it backfires.

Everyone gets BEYOND trashed and things start to take a turn. Bobby buys roses for all the ladies and then has the bartender hold them until everyone is off the dance floor. In the meantime the girls notice the flowers and ask for them. This irritates Bobby. Adam is super wasted and so is Malia.   Malia has been bouncing between Adam and Wes all night. Adam goes on a long diatribe with Bugs outlining all of the ways that she is better than Hannah. These guys are really good a making women feel uncomfortable.

Wes and Malia end up making out. Malia goes to Adam and says that Wes just kissed her out of the blue. Why on earth would she do that? She made it sound like she was not kissing him as well. Now Adam is pissed.  Back at the boat, Wes and Bugs talk about Malia. Bugs says that she thinks the two of them will be good together and that Malia really likes him. At the same time, Adam is cornering Malia trying to get her to make out with him. So she does.

Next Week: Things are about to get a lot easier on Lauren as Malia is slut shamed and Adam continues to tell Hannah that Bugs should be first stew.  Also, the new guests drink A LOT.

    I was ALL for Bugs, until Hannah did walk in and she (in the talking head) said this was so unfair, Hannah asked me to take care of this! No, no she didn’t. She gave you permission to handle things if she wasn’t available. By implication, if she IS available, she should handle it! Hannah could have finessed her entry into the conversation better, but she needed to be in on it. I’ve been “second in command” before in a job, with someone as needy as Lauren. The SECOND my boss came in to the room in a situation like that one, I would have INSTANTLY clued her in – not made it seem like she wasn’t to be privy to the conversation when it was about work.

    Oh, Bugs said something about “you can ask me for help or advice, or even Hannah”. OMG! In a similar position, it would have been “If there is a problem, you can always go to Hannah, or if she’s not available, I am definitely here for you!”.

    I truly feel for Bugs. I’ve had to go to work or class when a loved one passed away. It is fucking HARD. The worst is when someone tries to give you condolences when you are just trying to build mental walls up so you can get the job done until you have time to break down in private.

    But before Grams died, she was trying to manage the manager, and she is doing it now.

    Why do the chefs continually get involved with the 2nd stew to fuck with the chief stew? Seriously? Adam is Team Bugs because she has the time to figure out he needs fresh lemon juice over FISH? (Not rocket science) Meanwhile, Hannah is dealing with Mr. Grumpy Pants who is offended over togas, a 3rd stew crying over the fact that a guy won’t talk to her, serving the meals, and a micro managing captain (I do like Sandy, but she IS a micromanager)

      I don’t agree with Sandy being a micro manager.don’t think she asked too much for a group of professionals yo behaves like one.is it? Just put yourself in her shoes.would You like to be in charge of this Green crews?&if anything goes wrong, Sandy is the Ultimate responsibler.

      Love your comment and I totally agree with you that Sandy is a micromanager. It’s nice having a woman captain and seeing how other captains roll, but I must say I like Captain Lee’s style the best. Of course !

      I don’t think Captain Sandy is a micromanger other than with the stews. I think she needs to BE a manager with Bobby. It’s irritating that she lets him slide.
      And the third stew is crying because she has never worked on a boat before, seemingly got no training, is locked in the fucking laundry room all day where she washed THREE CHANGES OF CLOTHES from the deck crew PER DAY and has to get out the rust stains and iron them in addition to the other laundry, and Bobby is being a little cunt to her and Hannah and Bugs only contribution seems to be to tell her she isn’t doing enough.

        I’m hoping we get to see Captain Sandy rip Bobbys ass before the season is over. The way he talked to her during the anchor fiasco was unbelievable.

    Oh Malia, looks like she meant it when she said she’s not looking for a hubby. She’s something on the order of a prick-tease, immediately blabbing like she did to Adam.

    Bobby should have stayed a fireman. It might have given him some help in picking up women. Damn Lauren were you drunk when you hit that?

    Bobby acts like a little b–ch. Whining about losing out on girls he works with. I mean seriously? These are co-workers, none of them should even be allowed to date to begin with. He’s now in competition with Hannah and acting an aggressive Bully…how can any of his mates truly respect him when he keeps behaving like this? He says he’s just there to work and make money but he’s in constant pursuit and desperately obsessive over what he can’t have or control. His insecurities and r High School girl antics is reflective of a person who is not emotionally stable. He likes to look like a big buff guy but then has to call home to Mom. OVER WHAT – not getting a girl…GEEZE!! As an aside, why is it all of these women fall for BEN? I just don’t see the appeal on that front either…
