Below Deck Mediterranean: Kissing Up

July 11, 2017 by tamaratattles 42 Comments

Maybe it is my weird mood today, but it feels like this season has been on forever. I like it and am loving Croatia. I think the crazy is stirring a bit today because it is so hot I don’t want to eat anything. And when I don’t eat the crazy blossoms.

Anyway, we are back to Hannah and Adam feuding. I hate to agree with Hannah but she is correct in that the chef should not greet the clients in a butchers apron with a nasty dishrag over his shoulder.  Hannah goes to tattle on Adam to Captain Sandy, who she just calls Sandy. That is wrong. She is the Captain.

Meanwhile, Bugsy is plotting the takedown of Hannah. I don’t really remember these charter guests. Maybe because they seem so normal. Or perhaps I missed an episode? Hannah doesn’t seem to know the power of the snickerdoodle or warm cookies. Everything doesn’t have to be tarte tatin, Hannah.

Oh I remember this group now, they wanted a dinner based on tequila pairings.

The captain sent Wes and Malia on a shore excursion with the charter guests. Why? Oh yeah, storyline

Bugsy does an excellent setting the table for dinner while Hannah continues to trash Adam to Captain Sandy. The clients love the tequila dinner.

Hannah trashes Bugsy and the rest of the crew to Lauren and tells her to put on armor, grab a sword and prepare for battle. Meanwhile, Bugsy is waiting on the guests hand and foot.

When Malia goes to relieve Wes on anchor watch at three a.m., they have a bit of a makeout sesh. Malia says they just have to sneak off and keep things away from Adam. She’s a little shit, this one. I don’t think it was just kissing that sent Wes to bed 45 full minutes later.

Hannah complains to Adam that he serves too many soups and salads. Um, they are in the Mediterranean. In summer. Soup and salad for lunch is about all you need.  The group was thrilled with their experience and shouted out Adam’s tequila dinner to the Captain.  The crew got $1,363 each. I need a new job.

The next guests want the boat to pick them up at their hotel, indicating they are high maintenance already. Captain Sandy asks Wes to rank his deckhands. She wants him to promote someone. This should be interesting.

When the boat docks in the new city, it’s time for a crew night out. It begins with Hannah texting with Jason and calling out the other yachties for reading their previous chats. I’m sorry but this fake storyline annoys me. Just go ahead and do the final scene where you leave to hook up with your man.

Among the charter guests this time is a yacht broker. Also, I’m not sure if it is the same person or not, but one of the guests is someone who Captain Sandy knows well.  So is this her girlfriend? If so they will once again not acknowledge it, I’m sure.  Captain Sandy tells Adam no cookies for dessert and tells him to step it way up for this group. Bugsy and Hannah reluctantly agree to a cease-fire for this charter.  Shannon is the charter broker that I suspect may be Captain Sandy’s girlfriend.

Despite Wes telling Captain Sandy that it would cause friction with his crew to rank his deckhands, Sandy forces Wes to choose. But we have to wait until next week to find out who he chooses.

I just noticed how short this recap is. I tend to forget to recap this show because I am so mesmerized by the scenery. I think I’ve touched on the major talking points though.

Next week: Things get physical with Adam and Wes when the crew has shore leave.

    I’ve watched this epi. on replay more times then I care to admit. I thought crazy eyes chef Adam was legit crazy. After replaying I feel horrible for Wes. Malia whom I was all originally all girl do you is giving me major ticky boom boom vibes. I know it’s reality tv but Adam and Malia to me as a prev. bartender/ hospitality profession on Las Olas in ft Lauderdale worker. …this shit is lifetime movie vibes. Malias cute..a tomboy and chill but her laid back vibe still waters run deep as fuck. Malia plus Adam are frightening in a sociopath way. I hope I’m dead wrong and just getting old and forget what it’s like to be young and work in Ft. Lauderdale.

      I agree about Adam – I find him a nasty, nasty person, and even worse – he clearly shows that he likes to be nasty to people and observe its effect on them.

        I was onboard with everything, until the info of them being together before the season started, and the fact that they continued to be a couple on the yacht. Adam clearly fell for her, and thought that they were in a relationship. To then see her all over Wes and pretending like they are just buddies and giving him barely the time of day, I can see how he would get pissed and confused. This in turn, he would not be a happy camper in close quarters, and then cameras in your face. Yes, he should have played it more cool, but the situation is not just cute girl that’s making out with two guys she just met.

    I don’t think Adam is the type of guy to bow – out gracefully. He’s definitely the stalking type. Next week’s episode we see Adam in the wheelhouse w/Wes & Malia and Adam is really giving her a bunch of shit – talk and Wes is just sitting there not saying or doing anything. Later on we see them getting physical . Will be very interesting .

        I agree completely. Malia is a troublemaker. So uncool. I totally get it – I was young once, but that kind of behavior is better suited for a cruise ship than these yacht excursions. Hannah may be a tattletale but I don’t like Bugs at all. If I were part of the crew, I wouldn’t have a problem with a crew mate hooking up with a guest nearly as much as I would a crew member creating competitions between crew members.

            That was horrible – I pray that didn’t really happen and was part of the story line. I have family members with food allergies and I can’t even imagine what could/would happen if someone added ingredients out of spite. Looked like professional suicide to me. Even if it was just a story line, that’s his reputation on the line!!

        Bugs is just awful and getting worst! Just an example – few charters back she complained in her confessional that she, as chief stew, wouldn’t ever do a late shift like Hannah did because she thinks it’s important to be up and fresh to greet the guests in the morning… but as soon as she gets put on late shift she’s complaining about how lazy Hannah is! This made me realise that Hannah was really taking the brunt of the work staying up to all hours with the guests. Capt. Sandy did her a huge favor with that “punishment”. Hannah is obviously no angel, but Bugs looks for things to bitch about and that’s the WORST.

        Speaking of Hannah, I am impressed by how she holds her own in the back-and-forths with Adam. IMO he just makes himself look like an unprofessional ass. Malia needs to pick a lane, in every sense. Wes’ characterisation of Bobby – good worker but needs direction – seems spot on.

          You are so right!! Bugs is auful, how she says the IPAD was property of the boat. THEN WHY DID SHE TAKE IT OFF THE BOAT TO SHOW IT AROUND? Is she allowed to walk around town with the IPAD in her bag? She kept it a whole day.

              I’ve been snooping around for some info on Hannah & Jason since the charter, and a few weeks ago Bravo interviewed her:

              Bravotv.com: Are you and Jason still in touch?

              HF: We are still in touch! We message daily (except now it’s just the two of us reading them) and whenever we are in the same city we catch up for dinner, shoot pool, or chill with movies.

              “dinner, shoot pool, or chill with movies….” I suppose that’s what the kids are calling it these days… 😀

    I have a feeling he is fired meaning Adam the chef he no longer has an active twitter account and all his comments and posts in med twitter is gone. Along with a vage comment I I saw about seeing the back of a chef neck to captains, three charters left guess Ben might actually be stepping in???

        Adam’s Instagram is still active and recently updated though.

        A theory why his Twitter account vanished… he’s been thoroughly embarrassed and shamed by the onion fiasco and his general bad attitude. And he’s slipped into a well-deserved depression because his job opportunities have dried up. C’mon! Who would ever hire this guy again after what he has shown the world?

        Or maybe his van down by the river just has lousy WiFi.

        Although his Mexican dinner did look delicious. I was almost tempted to hit GrubHub up for an emergency delivery of Mexican food. Lol.

    Sorry TT, I’m gonna disagree with you. Lord knows I love me a snickerdoodle, but his presentation as SHIT.

    I just got back from my first ever cruise – a somewhat budget (for a cruise) mid sized ship, with me in an inside room but happy with my unlimited beverage package.

    The BUFFET had better presentation of the desserts than those plates of cookies. I have done cookies at a dinner party too, I admit, but you serve them on individual plates with ice cream or melted chocolate or a fancy coffee (they would have been perfect with an alcoholic coffee drink in the afternoon instead of a fancy tea or something). The cooks we saw manning the buffet were dressed better and looked more clean than Adam, and I think took more pride in their presentation (especially compared to a guy who is trying to impress his captain after a fuck up – I should also say that my waiters, etc. were some of the BEST I’ve ever had in their concern over my inability to eat pure eggs – to the point that their over concern made me just tell them that I dont like the taste)

      I agree as well. Like when you fly first class they give you warm cookies if you want one. But, they’re just there as a nice little bonus. I don’t feel like he’s taking enough advantage of the local food either. I would hope on a yacht like that lovely little snacks are always around for guests.

        Yes! Exactly. If there was a variety of cookies (drop and bar) on a nice tiered plate (not practical for a ship, but go with me here) just available with coffee around 2 or 3 PM, I feel like that is a lovely little afternoon treat. Hell, I did something similar for an afternoon bridal shower for my bestie, if I remember right (it was years and years ago)

        My mom and I didn’t want to do a storebought cake. Bestie’s mom (really an adoptive mom for me as well – I miss her so much) loved homemade baked goods. Bestie’s family was KNOWN to enjoy the homemade treats (seriously, those yentas came in and the first think they asked as if she had made her truffles).

        So we did a big variety display of cookies – different drop cookies, bar cookies (my mom makes some varieties that would make you cry they are so good), and I think some of homemade truffles (we might have bagged those up for the “take home” favors).

        All of them were presented on little doilies, etc. and my great auntie’s silver coffee set was polished up for the event.

        BUT IT WAS A WELL THOUGHT OUT dessert plan. It so fit the person we were celebrating! If it was one of my other friends and family members, we would have done something different perhaps.

    If Wes picks Malia as deckhand all hell will break loose. Bobby made some good points lately on how Wes just works with Malia and doesn’t see his work.

    Yes, what Hanna did was wrong but didn’t affect the crew like what Adam did and crew just brushed it off with onion-gate.

    I think Adam is a jerk to Hannah and does look sloppy wearing his apron and, worst of all, that dirty apron. However, Hannah complaining about him serving the same food over and over to charter guest is ludicrous! He is super restricted by the guests vegan, raw, ridiculous “diets” on most charters, hence the soups and salads. Additionally, the charter guests only stay for a few days; if and when he repeats a menu item it’s not with the same guests! Well, other than his breakfasts… as for Malia, I’m going to reserve judgement. We’ve all been in the spot where we liked 2 people and don’t know how or who to let down gently.

      The onion-gate guests (and Hannah) all pointed out that he tried to serve fruit and cheese for every breakfast. I think there was also cold cereal offered. Ridiculous! The guests had to request eggs etc. if they wanted a hot meal.

      Sadly, I’ll never be a guest on a chartered yacht but I would at least expect a god damn omelette or eggs Benedict if I’m tipping a chef $1200 for a 2 day cruise. Who am I kidding? I’d never be awake before 11am. But I’d expect a stellar brunch with cold seafood and sliced meats. Then and only then would I want a cheese and fruit platter too, lol.

      And at this level of service, cookies are never dessert unless they are a component of a larger more complex desert.
