After a season that just sort of flew by, it is already time for the reunion.
Wes tells us that he went straight back to work on a yacht in South Africa and after a few weeks Bugs showed up to be chief stew. Bobby has worked on the west coast for a bit with Adam.
We rehash the same argument we have a heard three times about Bobby bringing two random fans off of Instagram to the clubhouse because he had four tickets. Lauren felt she was on a date and this was disrespectful. Andy pipes in with it was uncool of him to bring “random strange fans” to the clubhouse. Who says that? Does Andy feel the need to approve everyone who comes to see him toss rings onto penises of nekkid guys? Does he think his show has some sort of exclusivity where only the most refined and influential people can come what him don a wig and pretend to be a housewife live? What an ego this one has. Lauren explains that in FLL he invited her to a watch party but let her know he would be busy with his fans. So she went with three friends and Ben started talking to her and Bobby never acknowledged her presence so she left with Ben. She says Ben was playing her too because he was with Emily. Bobby is outraged that Lauren and Hannah would lie so much and he has no idea what he did to deserve this sort of treatment from them. Um, Lauren seems to be telling the truth here to me. Bobby says that he has tons of text to prove he is telling the truth. Then he says that Lauren said if he didn’t pay her attention, she’s going to go fuck Ben. So? You are ignoring her?
A fan asked Bobby if he ever apologized for getting in her face on the boat and for the way he talked to her on WWHL. He says that he did. Hannah says she has not spoken a word to him since WWHL. Hannah’s dress is very distracting. I do not understand the bar across her chest.
The onion gate storyline is ridiculous. But Captain Sandy is acting like it was a real thing. She says Adam should have been fired. Captain Sandy says she was also shocked with how Adam treated the women on the boat, other than Malia. Adam says that he regrets all of his behavior on the show. He was heartbroken.
Finally we turn to Hannah and her sexcapade with Jason the primary guest she slept with. Bugs is asked why she didn’t go to Captain Sandy with the tablet first? BECAUSE THE SCRIPT SAID TO TELL HER ARCH RIVAL BOBBY! It must be exasperating not to say this. Hannah wants to know why she took it off the boat and monitored it for ten hours. Actually, she had not time for that, SHE WAS THE ONE DOING THE WORK WHILE YOU WERE TEXTING THE PRIMARY FOR TEN HOURS. Hannah says that she was mistrustful of Bugsy because she had been to acting school and pursued that for a while. Bugs says she is sorry that she pursued other passions before being a yachtie for four years. Also Bugsy went straight back to yachting after filming ended. Hannah has not mentioned returning to a boat at all.
Hannah says she is not in a relationship with Jason. Bobby says he has seen Paula since filming stopped. It doesn’t sound like they are dating either.
Captain Sandy is pissed off that Hannah and Adam both lied to her. She says that really affects her. Hannah seems to not like the fact that Captain Sandy and everyone else with a functioning brain who watched the show think she lied about him kissing her first. I think she is also lying about not sleeping with him.
Time for the big love triangle talk. Malia looks amazing tonight by the way. Adam says it was love at first sight for him. He said his Pops told him that is what he felt the day he met his Mother. They now say they only kissed before coming on the boat. Not sure I believe that either. Andy doesn’t seem to believe them either. Wes defends Malia. Bobby says he didn’t know that Malia and Adam had dated prior to filming until after filming ended. How is that possible?
Malia responds to everyone on social media who say she should not have led them both on. She says when you are on a boat for extended periods of time your motioned are heightened because you don’t get to interact with people. Honey, the boat docked every two days. You were free to roam around Croatia with no camera a lot of the time. Who know what really happened then? Malia says she has never had sex with Adam. Adam confirms this.
Wes seems reluctant to say that he and Malia are still seeing each other but he posted on his Instagram photos of them together in South Africa. Malia says it’s tough because they live and work in different places, but they try to keep in touch as much as they can. Andy asks a question he already knows the answer to, “Are they sharing a hotel room in NYC.” Yes, they are. Apparently Andy knows about the IG as well. He says, “Here’s the deal. I heard you guys are officially a couple.” And Wes says, “So we have to say it?” Ah She left with him from the reunion to go to South Africa so the photos were posted after the reunion. I forgot about that part.
Adam seems to be taking it well. He says the three of them went out for drinks last night. He says he is fine. Andy wants to poke Adam some more. Adam again is very gracious.
Captain Sandy says Malia was the right choice for lead deck hand. Max says Bobby was sort of overlooked about the lead deck hand. Max has barely gotten a word in the entire time.
It’s the battle of the stews. Lauren admits she played both sides because she is a people pleaser. Bugsy said she never disagreed with Hannah in the workplace (around guests) but that she did express at times how she is accustomed to doing things to Hannah. She also followed all of Hannah’s directions. Hannah and Bugsy seem to have a sort of professional acceptance of each other but I doubt they would ever be friends.
Andy once again tries to make Adam cry. Andy asks if there is a still part of him that loves Malia. He says no. Wes is totally Captain Sandy’s favorite. Hannah says she regrets making out with the charter guest and not giving Captain Sandy more time in the beginning for them to get to know each others work styles. Bugsy say she regrets not approaching Hannah earlier in the season with her grievances. Max would have spent more time on the bridge. Malia wishes that she would have made her decision sooner. Adam regrets not telling Wes he was in love with Malia from the beginning. Lauren has no regrets. Bobby says he has no regrets but he learned a lot about what not to do.
Overall, there were lots of simmering emotions on this reunion that were left unaddressed. Nearly everyone here is trying to continue working in the yachting industry and needs to really be on their best behavior.
Let me begin with Andy is an ass. Lauren and her non-stop loud talking was very annoying. I got tired of her people-pleasing excuse for playing both sides against the middle. Adam is weird but I felt bad for him. I know I’m in the minority but I like Bugsy. I felt like she did a much better job than Hannah, I also think she is much more honest. I like Wes but I find him very hard to understand LoL. Max is my favorite.
I agree with you about Andy. He makes me want to throw up. Seriously wish he would go away and be replaced. I disagree about Bugsy. I cannot stand her and Adam gives me the creeps but there is not one crew member I detest more than Bobby. I have never like that idiot ever. Captain Sandy tried her best with this crew. Below Deck Capitan would have thrown all but Wes and Max off the boat. He does not put up with anything.
I don’t think Capt. Lee would keep Wes after he found out he’d been making out w/his subordinate and then promoted her.
Agree
Why was Malia dressed like she was going to the Oscars?
My guess is attention. Makes me sick to watch her. IMO she’s quite the slut and trying to blame it on being on the boat (BAH). Karma will kick her ass one day.
How is she a slut? She didn’t sleep w/Adam.
Hannah seems to lie a lot. More than I initially thought! I wish Andy wasn’t so dam obsessed with the sex questions. This is on all of his shows, reunions – everything. Especially on WWHL. There have been quite a few times I turned – off WWHL because of all the sex crap. No, I’m not a prude, far from it. I have heard a lot of people on this site and another site also complain about all the sex questions. Really Andy, isn’t there more to you than sex stuff. Quit acting like a moron!
I agree. Even on his radio show it’s all about sex. He needs to be reigned in. Not one question about the work they did like the tangled anchors or weird requests from the guests. Poor Max was only asked one question and it was about his girlfriend.
His WWHL Shows are really offensive. He’s always has young, buff guys coming out in speedo ‘ s with baskets and things hanging in front of their junk to play stupid, childish games. He never talks about anything with any intelligence. He acts like a moron.
I agree 100%. Andy has a one track mind. He makes me sick of my stomach.
This was disappointing for me, the show was far more interesting but maybe because they spent so much time in the love triangle which I couldn’t care about. What was up with bugs attitude, she acted like a total bitch and was pretty rude to Hannah who I happen to like . The rest , eh
I think Bug’s had problem being second stew and took it out on Hannah. Bug’s had no business taking that job as second stew if she couldn’t handle not being chief stew. She did nothing but bellyache about Hannah. It especially bothered Bug’s when Hannah deligated duties to her. Bug’s had a problem with her EGO!
Exactly
I’m not particularly a fan of Hannah’s but I was definitely on her side. I also understand Bugs having a difficult time adjusting to a subordinate role when she is used to being the boss. While I am always open for suggestions, I also get tired of hearing how somebody else does it differently all the time. I also think Hannah got an unfair edit. They all get breaks and get to sleep. Hannah was sleeping on her scheduled breaks. She took the night shift. Chief Stews due more than clean and serve. They have to order all the provisions, keep track of them during the charter to make sure they don’t run out, organize any special requests the guests have, book special events like massages, jewelry shopping, musical guests, etc. Rank also has its privileges. Hannah was wrong for kissing/having sex with a charter guest while on charter. But I think Bugs was way more unprofessional for sharing a charter guest’s private texts. That’s a huge violation of privacy. If she was as professional as she claimed, she would have immediately logged the guest off the iPad. To run to Capt Sandy would be a petty thing to do. Tell, tell, you smell. We learned that in kindergarten. Because Jason seems to be a famewhore, he let it go. But most guests would be outraged and probably never use that owner’s yacht again.
The best part about this season being over is that I can stop reading comments from Hannah fans.
My god, how does she have any? She has ZERO redeeming qualites.
Lol and Bobby saying why does n everyone think I whine? Uh because you do you buck toothed meat head. Ugh that face haunts my nightmares.
omg you made me actually LOL
Thank you, my sentiments exactly. I don’t understand why everyone is down on Bugs, she actually did her job and was 10 times more professional than Hannah ever thought of being.
I’m curious as to what your definition of professional is.
Bugs whines constantly . That’s not professional
The most offensive thing about Bugsy is that in her efforts to be so “professional” all the time, which isn’t a problem at all in itself, but that she was painfully, achingly BORING. No personality and no storyline either. Just a superiority complex and that’s never appealing to witness. To be boring is the most odious attribute I can think of in a reality show participant. Bravo should garnish her paycheck for stealing screen time from the others who did bring the action.
Thank you-I so agree! Hannah spent the season walking around saying “I’m professional, I’m the chief stew, I’m a professional, I’m the chief stew! Then we see her scurrying into the primary’s cabin where he forced a kiss on her. So nauseating.I am not sure I will watch her again.
Of course no one is banging down her door to hire her, are they? Maybe because she is a liar!
Yay done with Hannah!!!!!
Agreed! I was hoping they’d put her in the hot seat and bust her for her lies. If a two-second kiss elicits the kind of noises we heard from her behind that door then she should have been in the hospital and on oxygen. Didn’t Bugs confirm that night that she didn’t return to bed until hours after her shift was over?
Even though I don’t like him, I felt for Adam. He appeared to be in pain, embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Malia should have been questioned more — about the anchor, about playing with people’s hearts and minds, about sleeping with her supervisor. Though I think half of her problem is that she is young and dumb (no crime), I think she also lacks empathy for others. That I think is troubling.
Bugsy bugs me. She seems smug and disapproving. I don’t imagine it is much fun to work with or for her. Yes, I think she gets her job done and well. I just question if there is any fun — or even a pleasant experience — to be had along the way.
Max is the single-most unremarkable person I have ever run across. The only interesting thing about him is his girlfriend — whom I suspect is an escort or exotic dancer. Rarely can I even remember Max’s name. I find that very odd.
Wes is kidding himself. He is not in the same relationship Malia is in. She’s dabbling in moments. He’s thinking long term. He’s willing to admit they’re together, sleeping in the same hotel room and planning trips. She’s nervous when he reveals information. I’d bet my house she has a side piece or two. I wonder if Adam is one of them…
Bobby is a goofball. He reminds me of Gomer Pyle. As a result I couldn’t imagine dating him or taking him seriously at work. Still, I think he is a nice guy who acts like an ass at times. And I think he is too immature for Lauren. Thank God he dissed her. He saved her alot of time in the process.
I like Lauren. I get her. I especially like it that she can admit her own faults and she accepts herself. I would hire her in a second. And I think, without question, she is the best looking of the entire bunch. Her face is timeless IMHO, immune from fleeting trends.
Finally, Hannah. I like Hannah. I see her faults and I still like her. She’s a young woman, trapped on a boat, leading a nomadic life. Add biology to that and it’s no wonder she hooked up with Jason. Sure it’s “wrong,” but I don’t blame her. She definitely drinks too much and she gets frisky when she’s lit Not a great look, but she’s not a mean drunk. I wouldn’t want to be around it, but I can easily forgive her. None of us has any idea how much work she does. We see what the producers show us. She may not work exactly like Bugsy Almighty does, but she does get a job done. And she’s good at delegating which is precisely what a supervisor is supposed to do. I could easily work with or for Hannah. And I could easily be friends with her. I like her.
Andy Cohen fell down on his job today. That was the most disappointing reunion ever. Nothing was revealed, nothing new was discussed. Just the same old, same old. Yawn!
Andy found out what Andy wanted to find out:”Who’s having sex with whom”! That’s all that schmuck thinks about. LOL???????
He’s a DOM (Dirty Old Man)! ???
Exactly…….and SICK
Gomer!
really all of you missed points.. omg Bravo sucks with Andy he needs to go period. So tired of his Drama queen ways, am team Hannah every day.. They dressed her they made the story line about how bad she was ect…Captain Lee should be captain on all these shows.. Sandy sucked no balls should of fired Adam, wes, Malaia, Bobby and Bugsy the worst..
Why wasn’t Wes called out for having a relationship with a subordinate. Sandy lost credibility on this one.
Overall a boring reunion.
Also, Captain Sandy supporting Malia ‘s new position AFTER finding out about her making out and/or sleeping with her boss! That’s where Cap. Sandy lost credibility with me!
Yeah, her real estate plummeted for me right there. She called Adam and Hannah liars, but she didn’t say a word and Wes and Malia. Hannah kissed a charter guest. So what? isn’t the name of the game customer service and making the guests happy? If Wes and Malia kissed off duty, no big deal. It’s their business. But it was on anchor watch duty. He was her superior. She had NO experience prior to this season. Bobby had more experience. I don’t care if people hate Bobby. I don’t. He was more qualified to be LDH. There were a few scenes where Bobby was showing Malia how to do things. Bobby was working while Malia hung out on the bridge doing nothing but sucking up. Capt Sandy always approached Malia but never approached Max or Bobby to show them something.
Hanna BOFFED a charter guest. While on duty, after arranging to meet him in his private sleeping quarters, where it appears she remained for several hours. When a guest is “serviced” in that way it reflects on the entire crew, the captain, and the entire business. If a stripper took it to that next level it would be called prostitution, and the bar could be closed down. Sleeping with a co-worker or even underling is a bad idea. Sleeping with a client while on duty can be construed as prostitution if it appears that management condones it.
Fun fact, Hannah has been hanging out with the creepy old man that brought all the whores on the boat.
I’m just saying.
I didn’t make it through actually watching the whole reunion. Once Bobby & Lauren started yelling at each other I lost interest and wandered off from the tv. I had wondered what the real story behind the fall out with Bobby & Lauren. Now I see that Bobby is a total douchebag to women and he cries when they don’t fall all over him.
Does anyone else think Adam looks WAY older than he claims to be?? He looks rough and sad.
Poor Wes. Whoever said Malia is “dabbling in moments” hit the nail on the head. She seems to be cold-hearted. She’s also not nearly as cute as she thinks she is. I got SO tired of hearing her say all season long that she is cute. Gag me.
Hannah is just so pathetic. She’s boring, and seemingly less intelligent than the people she manages. I’ve never seen anyone have such a blank look ALL the time! I do feel bad and embarrassed for her that she has tried to hook up with Bobby, Ben & now Adam this season and she was dissed by all of them!
I read all of Andy’s books. In his last one he ponders what his downfall will be. I think we’ve discovered it – he has seriously turned in to an creepy old man (he and I are the same age) and makes absolutely everything about sex or (I’m also immature & inappropriate. Hell, I have a bf 20 years younger than me, so it must be bad for ME to be sick of Andy’s antics). I got really turned off by him when he was trying to bait Bethenny to talk about Luann on WWHL knowing she was going to announce her divorce soon. I thought he acted REALLY mean about it.
Am i the only one who wanted Andy to ask captain sandy what he thought of Hannah’s laziness all season?! I really wanted Hannah to get called out. I felt like her hooking up with a charter guest was no big deal. I remember her last season getting on daniels case when he got a charter guest number about being “unprofessional” oh well
Agree with the poster that said Malia look throughout the entire show… She was giving Adam some hard locks… They completely slept together…I think that he loves her so much that he is willing to not play her out on TV… But she looked like she was sitting on hot rocks. Bugs should’ve never taken the job of the second Stew . She is clearly head stew level. Don’t always agree with how she acted… But she did really good work. She definitely ran circles around Hannah.
Clearly she is the chief stew… I don’t always agree with her… But she’s good.
Malia looked “nervous”
I agree Looloo. Malia and Adam both looked nervous. I think they definitely slept together as well and probably something still going on. You could the tension with a knife.
*cut
Well, chief stew does more than beds and tables. My problem with Bugsy is that she does not have leader qualities. Is she more hard working than Hannah? Probably (depends on the edit). Is she a good leader? I don’t think so. While confronting Hannah she was shaking like a tree during tornado. She was very shaky while talking to Sandy about Hannah. Chief stew who can’t manage conflict? I will take lazy stew over her every time. She was nasty (in her talking heads), very unhappy and very spoiled stew. And the biggest complainer of them all imho.
I was kind of surprised that Captain Sandy called Hannah a liar. I never thought she would see that.
I was surprised that Malia got off so easy. That photo of her above, she is looking at Adam. It seemed to me she was still playing both of them and neither had a bad word to say about her.
did you get the answer to the question on Malia and Adam NOT sleep together prior to working together? I call bullshit on that. I think Adam was whipped once he got a taste.
We kissed? Where? Geographically? If Andy was straight.. Malia? I don’t know?
Well it was an interesting season. In my opinion , full of liars at all levels Either it was bad editing or something, but thought the anchor chain fiasco happened with Malia was supposed to be on anchor watch and down in the kitchen with Adam and not watching the anchor…. Yes I know they have actual engineers and first mates on board.. but something doesn’t ring true.
That was my burning question/issue that never got addressed, either at the time or on the reunion. I think Malia allowed that to happen as she was too busy being duplicitous with the two men. She had anchor watch too early in the season being a rookie and hadn’t had any training that was shown. But even without training one should know to not leave the bridge without relief so the monitors are always covered. Not one word at the reunion.
Also, no discussion on why Malia was convinced it was because she was “a cute, attractive, female deckhand” that the others were angry at her new job title. Meanwhile it was because she was busy polishing Wes’ knob instead of the chrome on deck, having nothing to do with her self-congratulatory assertion of beauty.
This could easily be a two-parter. And it would be so much better with a different moderator. Any is far too consumed with his adolescent sex talk. We get it, Andy. You’re sexually active. Congrats.
That guy Bobby is why Dating Websites are bad ways to meet people. He really thinks he is “all that”. Some one said that he reminds them of Gomer Pyle and they hit it directly on the head
Maybe a new website .. Deckhands.searching for love?
To tie the knot or put anchor in the pocket?
Malia will plow forward and screw crew mates (male and female) all the way to the top. She probably doesn’t have to, but she’s figured out it will get her there faster. Adam and her have banged and want to bang some more. Wes is a fool. Hanna and Lauren are carrying a vendetta against Bobby. The guy has a lot to figure out about women, but I don’t like vendettas in general and it made those two girls look petty. Let it go and move on. Lauren seemed determined to consume as much air time as possible. She was talking even when the topic had nothing to do with her. If she’s such a people-pleaser, she should have pleased us by shutting up! Hanna seems a bit lost and disillusioned about what constitutes as a being a good friend. She’s in need of some good loving. Too bad Adam’s so turned off by ,because he could use some Malia distractions.
Just watching now.
Get such a icky vibe from Malia. It’s as if she only is concerned with that which affects her. I can’t pinpoint if it’s entitled, or feeling better than?
Just something that makes me hope she isn’t on another season.
The bar across Hannah’s chest is to help pull her boobs together. Those things need all the hep they can get.
I really don’t think Capt. Sandy can complain about Hannah being lazy – the chief’s stew’s ultimate job is to keep the guests happy and make sure the captain doesn’t have to deal with ridiculous things, and Hannah ticked both of those boxes. Whether she was actually lazy (and if she was, I feel like that probably means the boat was overstaffed with 3 stews) or just got a bad edit doesn’t matter. Homegirl did her job and helped get great tips for the rest of the crew. She also still gets points in my book for taking the brunt of Adam’s asshole-i-ness when he was pining for Malia and still making sure the guests were all happy – there were a few moments Adam nearly screwed the crew over and the interior team saved the day. Again, IMO Hannah gets credit for that because it’s her team… and if the interior messed up it would have been entirely on her shoulders. I tend to agree that Bugsy just had a hard time being #2 and shouldn’t have taken the role, which is too bad because she clearly works hard but her constant focus on complaining about Hannah got old real quick.
