When an episode begins at 1:40 am you know something is about to go down. We begin with Adam creepily cornering a drunk Malia for a kiss. After there little makeout session, Malia goes down to crew quarters with lipstick smeared all over her face. Everyone goes a bit nuts because she looks like the Joker on Batman. She runs into her cabin and slams the door. When she comes out Lauren tells Hannah about the deranged joker face on Malia face after making out with someone. They are trying to figure out who she was with. Spoiler alert! It was both of them.
Malia is suddenly sober and pissed off at Lauren. Because Lauren was talking behind her back. Please, the entire crew was mocking her to her face! Lauren just filled in Hannah on what she missed. She has no duty to cover for Malia. Why must everyone come for Lauren. She was trying to have a little fun before they shove her in the laundry room again for three more days. Lauren takes off and checks out Adam. There she finds he too has lipstick all over his face. Mystery solved. Sort of. Then she tells Malia. Malia then says she made out with both of them. Malia is oddly angry at Lauren. What the hell did she do? Then gets Lauren gets really snotty and flees for cover suggesting Lauren pick someone. Malia just announces to Wes that she kissed both him and Adam and strolls off to fuck with Lauren some more. Wes is heartbroken. Lauren tells Malia that making out with two guys who share a bunk is simply not done.
It’s time to get some guests. It’s the guests from last season who had the three way in hot tub. This time they have someone who can’t eat onions. Adam and I both find that appalling. I LOVE onions. They also want some sort of water obstacle course that they can play team games on. And a trip to the KRKA waterfalls. Oh and please, don’t run out of vodka! So Hannah orders 20 bottles of vodka.
The deck crew are not pleased that they have a new complicated water slide for this charter. Malia goes down to the ironing room where Lauren has begun slaving away to apologize for being mean to her last night. Lauren apologizes as well. A truce is called.
Captain Sandy let’s Wes drive the boat away from the dock. He did well! Later, he played a huge role in docking the giant yacht in tight quarters.
Adam is putting onions in everything. Because, dick. Even when the primary sends his shrimp and grits back, Adam’s redo still goes out with onion tops in it. Adam is really a prick. He is treating Hannah horribly and even calls her a slut. It seems like he is on something.
Once they dock, Hannah and Wes go shopping because the guests have already been through half the vodka. They also need 100 lemons and limes for the drinks just to be on the safe side.
Lauren and Bugsy are going to do service at the picnic under the waterfalls. As soon as all of the food is loaded off the yacht at 12:20, the ferry to the waterfall delays departure time by one hour. Now the food is all out in the heat and there is still a two-hour ferry ride to the waterfalls. How the hell do you manage that obstacle? Adam suggests covering the food with a blanket. This seems counterproductive to me.
Next week: The arguing between Adam and Hannah continues. Captain Sandy walks in when Adam is being abusive to Adam. Hannah informs Captain Sandy that Adam is putting onions in every dish. Will he get fired? Generally, when Ben is not the chef because he has other obligations, when his schedule clears the chef gets fired. Remember Chef Leon?
TT: I love onions also. If Adam knows anything about being a chef, he would know how to make dishes without onions, even if it calls for onions. That’s what a chef does. He’s effecting everybody’s tip by doing that kind of shit. He’s got a problem.
Damn Adam…yes, onions are delicious, but this dude doesn’t want any! You are the chef, hired to make food for the guests LIKING!! Don’t know how much a charter like this runs(someone enlighten me) but the least you could do is respect their request.
Calling Hannah a slut was beyond disgusting, no matter his explanation. Completely done with him. Bring back whiney Ben.
Remembered them saying $200G per charter.
Nope. Nowhere near that. I saw the casting/marketing for the passengers for Below Deck and thinking it really wasn’t that much when divided among the group. It varied by how many days the charter was for. All well below $100K IIRC correctly it was between 40K and 70K then sometimes they have trouble booking people and they discount the cost.
Adam is a total dick, not even a likeable dick. I don’t get why everyone picks on Lauren either, she does seem like she can be annoying but I’ve seen worse.
I just saw the previews for next week. Captain Sandy’s onto Adams shit and gets called out on it. Will be interesting to see! It might have effected everybody’s tip.
I LOVE onions however, if I was paying almost a million dollar, think about that, a million dollars and I asked there be no onions in my food, there better be no onions in my food. What if a guest asked for something not be in their food due to an allergy and Mr. Know-it-all added it anyway? Adam is a douche bag. He seems like an entitled brat with a huge chip on his shoulder and is not about to let anyone stand in his way to get his way. Wes? Hannah? Lauren? See a pattern? I hope Captain Sandy chops him up in little pieces next week.
ROFLMAO. No one is paying a million dollars to go on this damn show. They don’t even pay the standard cost. They get a discount for putting up with all the filming and playing along with story likes like “no onions!” and “I GOT ONIONS!”
I learned that reality shows are really scripted.like in House Hunters, the buyers already got a home&fake shopping for it.using friend’s or family members home as house $1, 2&3.please share with us your knowledge on how this show faking it.I got a co-worker that used to work cruise ship&yatch for 30yrs.she said they employed real life people.all sizesðics. Seem Filipino the most popular.
Adam’s and onion insistence is beyond absurd. I realize the guest just had a dislike for them, but I wonder if a guest were actually allergic, would Adam somehow find a way to cook without them? He’s a real prick.
If Adam really felt guest faking onion allergy&wanted to used it for flavor,all he gotta do is pureed it&hide it within everything else.his ego&insecurity in his cooking ability blinded him to this.
It doesn’t matter if the guests are allergic to onions or not. If I pay 6 figures for anything and I don’t want onions, there shouldn’t be onions. #iloveonions
No one paid six figures to go on the boat. It’s really a very small amount. I forget what exactly but I have seen the amount. I want to say it was around 30K for a three day event.
TT how does the liquor work? Is it all you can drink included or do they have to pay for what they drink? I think it was last week when that grouchy man was saying that Hannah had opened a new bottle and she was saying no it’s the same bottle that made me wonder about this and I figured you would know. Thanks !
The liquor is included in the bill.
If I paid $5.00 for a sandwich and said no onions, I would expect there to be no onions in it. That chef is a little douche.
If I was buying a dollar hotdog from a street vendor and said “no onions” and he put them on anyway, I wouldn’t pay the dollar.
I found the situation a little off. Wouldn’t Hannah remember the onion (which is like the most easy thing to delete)? Couldn’t it have been something easily noticed, remembered or reminded? I’m calling bullshit I think on this.
I know I love love onions&all of its families. My boyfriend hated onion.I found it so alien.he do love himself onion rings.Ii felt that those who rejected strong herbs based on their reputation ought to be flock.they be acting like children.”No!, No! I won’t allow grown-up pallett into my life!”lol.
Remember when they had the big group of women on in the beginning of the season? And they wanted raw/vegan/gf and he didn’t follow those preferences either, (a knob of butter never hurt anyone) because he said that they’re just going to order nachos later anyway? Doesn’t matter if they’re not allergic, or if they’re gonna get shitfaced and binge on junk food, if they’re paying for it, they get it how they want it. Not how he thinks they should want it.
I couldn’t stand him since the first five minutes in of the first episode. Now, with how he’s treating Hannah and how he’s trying to claim Maliah, it’s just disgusting. I thought Bobby was the loser of the season, guess I was wrong.
What happened to Adams post-its?
The script no longer called for them.
Lmao! Truth tea! Hahahahahha
Fire that fucking asshole! No onions. No onions. No onions. He is either on drugs or just crazy. Probably both. What a dick!
OR lack of dick and therein lies the attitude, maybe?
I guess Adam is a cook and not a chef, since he can’t deviate from a recipe.
I’m neither new or old rich – but I have sent a dish back when it had something that I requested NOT be on the dish. For the record, I usually have requested this because the item will make me sick.
I have a BAD intolerance for eggs, and a lesser one of strong fresh bell peppers. Developed it in the past 5 years or so.
I hesitate to tell restaurants it is an allergy – because it isn’t like I need an Epi-pen. I can totally eat baked goods with egg in them. I’m ok with most salsas too.
What Adam doesn’t seem to get is going above and beyond to accommodate such a simple request is the difference between a good tip and an amazing one.
I kept thinking of one of my best restaurant experiences I had about 5 years ago.
Went to a restaurant once that specializes in paella and other Spanish delicacies (with an American twist I think). I was with a large group. (Family and soon to be family thanks to a wedding). Most of the items mentioned egg, typically in an aioli designed to compliment the paella. Now, a few years ago, I’d be licking the aioli. Most wanted to share the paella dishes, so we’d all get a sample of the amazing ones they’d come up with.
I quietly mentioned my intolerance to the waiter, and asked if there was at least one dish I could order for myself instead of sharing with the others. I
That waiter crouched down and quietly asked me questions – like if it was an allergy that meant I couldn’t even have it at the table, etc. Totally discreet, which I appreciated. He said he had me taken care of.
Next thing I knew – all the paella dishes came out…. and everyone had their own aioli cups, instead of it being on the paella itself. Mine was an olive oil based one that was FUCKING AMAZING. Over the rest of the night, he double checked that I had enough of the aioli, and recommended specific dishes I should try with it. Some of my relatives switched over just to try it.
At the end of the night the chef came out to greet us (having heard we were celebrating a happy couple and that we were all soon to be family). Not only did he check with the bride and groom and their parents, he made a point of coming over to ask me if I liked the vegan aioli and the paella.
Not only did my uncle tip them well because of it – I think my Dad and my cousin’s future father in law did as well. When I went to the waiter to thank him for being so understanding, he said “of course – that should be standard with food issues!” I told him no one had EVER treated me the way this restaurant had, I got a hug!
Don’t recall any type of salsa with fresh bell peppers. They mostly use Serrano or jalapeno.bell peppers is sweet.each color indicates the degree of sweetness. They got no heat.just tasted good.
“Later, he played a huge role in docking the giant yacht in tight quarters.” My mind is in the gutter tonight, sorry, this gave me a giggle.
/giggles.
In other news, most of us could afford to pay for this once in a lifetime cruise if we pooled resources. Had I known it was Croatia, I would have tried to rally a group. That said, they often have booking issues for people on the real below deck in the Caribbean. We could definitely afford that and I have connections….
I’m in. Here are my dietary concerns:
I’m allergic to all fresh fruit and veggies. (can’t eat them raw, but cooked is ok)
I’m allergic to mushrooms. (break out in hives).
I only eat organic, free range, preservative free food. (Who am I kidding with this one? I live on Long John Silvers chicken planks, Dairy Queen blizzards and cake.)
You are my kinda person !!!. I live off of taco bell fiery tacos and CaliPizzaKitchen four cheese pizza.
Oh yeah—and cake. hahaha
This is why I travel solo. Y’all are some annoying peeps already.
I was all in at your original post, the subsequent comments brought me back to “nevermind”.
????
I would do it, cause of the commenters. If I’m gonna face fears, can’t think of a better group than this.
I honestly don’t see the desire to go on a yacht like this. I always imagine how uncomfortable I’d be with people constantly roaming around and I would worry if I was in there way, if I was supposed to be doing something I wasn’t. Just doesn’t seem appealing with a bunch of strangers watching me. I wouldn’t want to bother them if they are busy. Guess my personality is more “Old Money”.
I don’t care for it either. No thanks! The yacht is amazing but I don’t want a bunch of people watching me while I’m on vacation.
Not at all. I have been on a few crewed charters, though not close to the size of the boat on the show, on a sailboat. It is no different than being waited on a restaurant. There is no hovering, at all. As the family caregiver, it is wonderful to go on this type of vacation and have someone else in charge of everything; entertainment, meals, housekeeping, safety. It is the only vacation I have been on where I truly relax and enjoy the break.
Your personality is more like recluse.
You wouldn’t be alone! No mushrooms and I would send it back if he pulled that mess on this *New Money!
??? Not getting if you serious or not.I work in a place that cater to allergic &intolerant guests.they made our lives hell.gluten allergy is most popular. Got a guest telling me she’s allergic to gluten&wheat by product. She claim its 2separate issues. What’s going on in this country where its population developed exotic allergy per day?
I’m in!
That’s all you needed to say… IM IN
I’m so in! I’m open to anything except mushrooms and mayonnaise! I will go into the galley and cause an epic, drunken scene if my dish has mushrooms. Then i will proceed to drink tequila from the bottle for the rest of the night and exclaim “I’m on tequila” at any aversion. 🙂
Trying to be respectful of people with personal dislike.I’m a 30yrs vegetarian myself. Have hard time understanding how anyone dislike mushrooms&mayonnaise.mayonnaise comprised of several ingredients. Which of those you dislike? Its like when someone said they allergic to bar-b-q sauce.its a little silly.
Your thought process make sure no sense so I’ll leave you to wonder how anyone can not like mushrooms and mayo
That was a whole lot of gibberish. A true vegetarian doesn’t eat mayo. Chives are not onion tops. That is just how the guy with the no onion script described the chives. I do not like mushrooms. It’s pretty much the only think I don’t care for. Or sushi.
We have a saying around here, “there’s a hole in our fence!” I may have to fix that hole, we shall see. 🙂
Mushrooms, the only thing I put on my preference sheet I didn’t want served to me. I also don’t care for avocado’s, but they are easier to pick out.
Jane you can sit next to me and flip mushrooms onto my plate anytime. TT believes them to be my only good group.
I think doggy mumus would look cute for lounge wear, LOL
I’m in if you ever want to make a group happen!! 🙂
So there must be a maximum number of people in your group – maybe 10? Even w the steep “i agree to be on camera and deal with production” discount … Could “most of us” really afford it?? Of course, “affordable” and “worth it” are two different things
Would imagine choosing to participate means that you can afford it. Maybe all ten, never know.?
Maximum number of people depends on how many the boat sleeps or number of cabins if no one wants to share a room.
What channel is it on please.
Bravo.
Bravo. Check your local listing.each town’s diffrent.&if you streaming it, there’s no channel.
T, have you heard something to predict Adam’s getting fired and Ben’s coming back?
I wondered that too. Especially the way Hannah and Ben acted so squirrelly when Andy asked them about Ben this season on that crazy WWHL!!
Isn’t Ben dating Laren?
No sources. Just that Ben always manages to squirrel his way back on the show. It feels like we are using the same script for Below Deck when Leon was on the show. I can’t imagine a show where Ben doesn’t show up. He’s already Facetimed Lauren and Bobby has brought him up. The writing is on the wall.
When the dish went back a second time, it had chives in it. Not “onion tops.” Chives are a completely different plant, just like garlic and onion are two different bulb plants.
The guy playing the role of the non onion eater referred to them as onion tops. The wife then told Hannah it had chives in it.If you didn’t watch the episode, a reading of the recap with the subtitled visual aid should have clear this up for you. If you need to pontificate about chives and onions, please refer to the latest Tomato Talk post where we all blather on about such things all the time.
Chive is the onion’s top.if you let it grown future iy becomes onion.
He called her a slut for pointing out the endless onions! This guy. This guy is a catch, ladies.
If you shove an onion hard enough, way past a manual extraction position, it bumps the apple from the mouth of the pighead. What a bunghole.
Surprised some of the top top chef runner-ups wouldn’t jump on a chance to yacht… for awhile.
