First of all everyone get your selfie game going. We have a few hundred thousand guests tonight due to this exclusive. If I had known I would have tried to clean up the joint. Oh, who am I kidding. As Popeye says, I yam what I yam. If you like it, stick around. If you are a grammar Nazi, I implore you to move on. My fast and error ridden recaps work for me.
When last we left the crew, there was a love triangle between Wiz, errr Wes, Adam and Malia. Adam was self sabotaging to make room for Ben’s triumphant return, and Bobby was being a douchebag. Sorry I am late with WWHL recap, but I will get on it ASAP!
The biggest issue is that the ferry has delayed their departure time so Adam’s onion dishes are all subject to bacteria. Of course Adam takes his frustrations out on Hannah. Because, misogynist. He says that Bugs should be chief stew because she is doing the job anyway.
So Hannah marches herself right up to Captain Sandy to follow the script that says, “Adam gets fired and Ben saves the day.”
The Krka waterfalls are insanely gorgeous. I’ve added them to my bucket list. Along with Kenya Moore’s honeymoom bungalow on Sugar Beach in St. Lucia. I actually stayed in the room the winning bachelorette stayed in St. Lucia. I think I posted about it somewhere here after the fact. I digress.
Adam is totally arrogant with the guests. He feels like the guests should be appreciative of his mad cooking skills. Says the guy who can’t cook without onions, according to the script.
Adam takes Malia on a walk to the waterfalls. God bless the fat man in a speedo. I love his IDGAF attitude. When Adam asks Malia how she likes her crew she give Wiz, err Wes, a glowing review. He’s very smart. Yep Malia, he is the total package and you are at the waterfalls with Adam. Clearly, you are not very smart. They kiss. Malia tries to defend herself in her talking head. Frankly, she has nothing to defend. She has two suitors (three if you add Bobby) and she is free to explore them both. It just kind of sucks that they all live together and one of them is her boss. But she is well within her lane. No judgement her. Do you, Malia. The land excursion went very well. Croatia is so beautiful.
Adam hate cooks dinner. He speaks about the guests in horrible ways calling them rednecks and opining about how people hire him because they like his food. This reminds me of that one horrible season of Below Deck where the crew and EVEN CAPTAIN LEE disparaged the guests. That’s a hard no for me. Adam grates onions into his lentil soup. He makes a dish with mussels. He’s a douchebag.
Wiz and Malia got for a walk in Croatia at dark. Wes says, this is where horror films are filmed. Actually, it is where Game of Thrones is filmed.
Max reports to Bobby that he may still have a chance with Malia. She’s very cute, but this is just a testosterone fueled competition at this point.
Hannah finds a charter guest passed out on the toilet. Because, yachting vacation.
Sorry the site crashed on me for a few seconds due to our new friends which is great. But I think I lost something here.
Everyone on the ship is talking about #OnionGate Adam is ridiculous. He sends more onions out. Captain Sandy walks in on Adam saying Hannah has resting bitch face. Oh please. He must have just found out that Ben is coming in to replace him.
Hannah goes to Captain Sandy to rat out Adam. I am team Hannah here.
Finally we get to see Lauren above deck. I just want to give her a hug. She’s like Cinderella.
After an apparently seamless docking, the primary calls out Adam. He says that Adam was awful. At the tip meeting, Captain Sandy is furious with Adam. I know that Captain Lee would have allowed Adam to share in the tip, but I wish Sandy would have excluded Adam.
Sandy gives Adam a stern talking to. In her talking head, Captain Sandy says she wants to fire Adam but she can’t get a chef midseason.
Shore Leave! Adam offers to give his share of the tip to the rest of the crew. They decline. Friction between Hannah and Bugs exists now. Because, Adam. So suddenly, Lauren is Hannah’s new BFF. DOES THIS MEAN SHE WILL LET HER OUT OF THE IRONING ROOM? Because for the love of GOD we need more Lauren! Adam leaves and Malia goes chasing him. Oh Malia. Wis is done with Malia.
Next week: Malia chooses Adam and who cares because a REALLY HOT GUY IS THE PRIMARY!
TT, live and unedited, signing off.
My life’s been total hell because I’m suffering from terrible stomach issues. I’m on this friggin FODMAP diet because of my stomach. The first things on my LONG list of things I can’t eat are garlic and onions. This situation has been difficult for me and my husband (he loves both). My point is some people really can’t eat these things because it can make them very sick not because their “new” money. Okay I vented!
Yup, been thinking the same thing last week and this week. I wouldn’t have been passed out on the toilet from too much drink – probably from dehydration if he had put in the foods I simply cannot tolerate.
I thought the primary had as much patience as Hannah frankly. I would have walked down the galley and asked if he didn’t know how to spell onions.
Exactly! That’s probably why the primary was so easily able to know that onions were added to his meals. Adam is a D-Bag of the first order, right up there with Leon ‘beef cheeks’.
Both were cast to be that way so that Ben can come back and save the day…
I had the chance to visit Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia. It’s the most unbelievably beautiful place I have ever seen. Lovely pine forests that went all the way down the mountains to the beach. And the food and people were wonderful.
Honestly, I don’t know if that would be Croatia, Bosnia, or Hertzcovenia (sp?). I think that’s all of them. Feel free to correct me, Everyone.
Awesome quick cap. As a former bad boy loving woman, I am telling you Adam is bad news. I can’t put my finger on it but there seems to be some serious red flag sh$t behind his crazy eyes.
Wes is magnetic and I feel bad yelling at the screen for Malia to straighten up. She’s young and I recall being a smoking hot bartender in Ft. Lauderdale dating and the greatest guy ever proposed and tried and I was like I don’t want to be safe and married raising kids and bored. I want adventure and danger and awesome sex.17 years later I married the bad boy motorcycle guy with tattoos and leather. It fucking sucks I’d sell my soul to have safe and kind and respectful in a heartbeat. Awesome lightening recap T.T.
I get what you mean, almost pervy eyes. Something isn’t right there and I think Sandy hit it on the head when she said him lying was flat out psychotic.
OMW I agree 100%. There was one scene where his eyes just caught my attention and I swear I got a chill. There is something very creepy about him. VERY creepy.
Adam is an ass! He should have been fired, and he’s only going to get worse from here. I knew he wouldn’t get fired because there’s a preview of him calling Malia a whore. So there’s that ! Lol
Oh HAYEL NO! Does he? Ok, now I’m getting pissed.
He’s pursued her relentlessly and even nudged a couple consent borders on the way. Now he has the gall to assign her that name? Typical misogynistic behavior- he hunts her down like a dog and praises her beauty and cool factor continuously. When she decides against this sitch, he disparages her with one of the nastiest words ever to describe a woman, “whore.” This word encapsulates a deep-seated hatred for women, citing contempt for her sexual free will and her agency in deciding her own mind.
Guys like Adam sully my enthusiasm for male companionship. Truly.
Mine too, Angeline. I work with guys in a male dominated industry and some of them are pretty horrible with their attitudes. I put them in their place and point out their inconsistencies on the daily. It can be extremely frustrating and sometimes I wish I could get up and smack them in the head, lol. When I feel the urge coming on I put on my headphones and listen to music. I spend a lot of time listening to music and tuning them out.
I’m in IT, but I’ve been lucky in working with mostly great people. I’m just curious, in what field do you work?
Malia! Don’t choose the bad guy! How selfish and arrogant and petty of him to jeopardize the tip for the whole crew.
Wes was totally right when he said girls who pick the bad guy later regret it and then wonder where all the good guys are–and they’re gone.
I was totally happy Captain Sandy came in when Adam was bad-mouthing Hannah and overheard him.
I really like bugsy. I have never liked Hannah and I still don’t. Bugsy should be chief stew. She works. Hannah stirs up shit. Which a boss should not do.
Adam’s really an ass. No matter the food requests, isn’t his job to oblige with a smile? I agree, Malia is not in a relationship with any of these guys, so why shouldn’t she just feel free to enjoy exploring the possibilities.
For me, the crew needs to be solid to work smoothly and efficiently. Little love triangles can complicate things and if I’m a crew hand working my ass off to make some good money quickly I don’t need outside drama fucking things up. We already saw Lauren crying and distraught and preferring to be left alone over the stupid Bobby thing. Malia can be Malia as long as there’s no drama over it…which there is potential for. They are there to serve their guests and not create drama amongst themselves that can spill over and interfere with they’re chartered guests or cause other crew members to have to pick up slack cause someone’s feelings got hurt or whatever.
TT, just so happy for your great day, and just remain you and you will be just fine. Plus, you have your Army behind you when needed. Croatia looks so gorgeous and I have to kinda giggle when the issue is onions. Just seems so umm silly?
I like Hannah ok and I like Bugsy ok. I think they both do what they are supposed to do. Adam on the other hand is an commercial away from an episode on ID channel. Ugh. I am so disappointed because he looks so cute and I was excited for this new handsome guy on deck. I can’t believe that in all of the world that this is the best this show could do for a chef? I am certainly up for anyone but Ben. I need a break. But they are making it seem like in this industry he is the only one that can fill this position? I can’t believe that a REAL chef couldn’t find a million recipes without onions. I cook without onions lots of times and I am no chef but a good cook. He can’t be that good of a cook if the can’t be flexible and accomodating to his guest. That whole rant about them wanting to be rich to screw the little guy. WHAT? He needs to meet Ashley from SCS, never mind Malia. They would be quite the couple.
Adam is so creepy…I hate to say this but he reminds me of Ted Bundy…now you understand I’m not say he’s anything like a serial killer however when the Captain was asking him about the onions his eyes got so wide and the pupils looked to be very dilated as he was lying to her…he thought it was “funny” to put unions in the soup…wow…go and youtube some Bundy videos…when Adam tries to act so sweet when he’s talking to the camera…wow!
Love this recap! TT is on fuego. About Hannah vs. Bugsy, I honestly think Adam is just being an ass, and would be an ass with whoever is around him most. If Bugsy and Hannah were switched, he’d just be an ass to Bugsy by trying to make Hannah look better. Loved Sandy’s take – he’s a psychopath and I’d fire him but Ben’s not available to film yet. I mean, I can’t find another chef in Croatia mid-season. As for Malia, I enjoy watching her feel free to pick someone, play the field or not play at all. Go get ’em kid!
ITA! Adam knew he would cause dissent by making the Bugsy comment because he is trying to sabotage Hannah, cause apparently it’s HER fault he can’t find an onion substitute.
I have been a chef for more than 30 years, and I have fired chefs who did what Adam did and others who suffered from the “this is how I make it” syndrome instead of preparing dishes to spec.
People may have allergies or aversions to food ingredients, but why they don’t want something doesn’t matter. If someone tells you that they don’t want something in their food, don’t put it in. Any reasonably skilled chef would be able to create a good flavour base without onions. This arrogant idiot has complete control over his kitchen and ingredients, and he couldn’t deal with this simple request? Please. It was deliberate and spiteful at that.
