Last week’s Below Deck recap had the most explosive, vicious, comments on charter guests that I have seen in may year. Lot’s of really personal attacks on the group of extremely ill-mannered women. Will they redeem themselves this week? Or does it only get worse from here? Let’s see what happens next.
Right away the primary charter guest is complaining to Sandy about the food. Also, Hannah “seemed to be frustrated.” Really? I wonder why? She says that they had to pour their own glasses! Quelle Horreur! And also, gros gros mensonge! The primary says she is not having a good time. She just doesn’t seem like someone who knows how to have a good time.
Captain Sandy has a sternish talking to with Adam and Hannah. Neither one does a very good job of explaining the scope of the problem with these guests. They sent back a lovely high-end pasta dish because they don’t eat starch and asked for spaghetti and macaroni and cheese. I mean come on.
A storm is coming, and Hannah is trying to get the guests off the boat before they change their mind. Kasey, the seasick girl, is also sent to be with the guests. Joao is also with the guests so that the cast can have some conversation. It is then we find out that Kasey is allergic to raw fruits and veggies. Oh, and Latex. So of course Joao wants to know if she uses condoms and she announces that she hasn’t had sex in eight years. Really? Way to completely screw up your twenties girl! You are not going to look like that forever!
Brooke is having problems with her boyfriend who is a chef on another charter.
A huge storm has rolled in and the guests are stuck on the island. There is a mad dash to save the boat. Water is coming down in buckets and the wind is high. The crew frantically tries to secure everything as quickly as possible while dancing in between lightning bolts. Except for Colin who is sleeping. Production is doing a terrible job about putting everyone’s names up and I have yet to come up with any tricks to remember who anyone is.
Back on land, Joao is trying to herd the women to the tinder to get to the boat while they still can. The redhead is screaming like she is a seasoned sea captain claiming they are on the wrong dock (they aren’t) and something about the squall line. What she is pointing to is a single large cloud. There is no line of any kind. Al Roker’s job is still safe.
As soon as they get back, the primary announces she wants a masquerade theme for dinner. Sandy is already muttering about not wanting to have dinner with the guests. The redhead is claiming she asked for a strawberry mascarpone cake for dinner. Apparently it is someone’s birthday? There is nothing on the preference list about a birthday. Kasey has been puking since the moment she got back on the boat,
Wait! Is Adam tasting out of the pot without even a spoon? Did I just see that?
The redhead is already starting in on her killing stories. Something about taking a tuna out of the stream and bleeding it out and eating while it is still pumping. Nothing she says makes sense. Meanwhile, the blond refuses to eat lobster bisque claiming she doesn’t like shellfish even though she put on her preference list that she like lobster and crab cocktails. These people are insane. Or possibly on drugs. Then the girl who refused the seafood is pissed because everyone else got lobster and she got duck. I think the blond is actually just anorexic and/or has some other eating disorder. She kept telling people to please stop talking about her food. Somehow they all manage to enjoy dinner.
The exterior girl is in the bathroom crying because she keeps having to do Kasey’s job instead of learning the ropes with the boys. You know the job she was hired for. I don’t see Joao being asked to make beds and serve breakfast. Joao seems to have a lot of time to flirt with everyone.
The primary makes snide comments on her way out and asks for a little bit more attention to details on the preference sheets. THIS HAS GOT TO BE STORY LINE. The tip was 12K so a thousand dollars a piece. Hannah is not impressed but Joao says you don’t get tips in Zimbabwe. He says a thousand dollars could feed a family of four for two months.
The crew all goes out for the first time in Italy and the booze is flowing. Somehow, Kasey is well enough for this. Brooke is upset about her boyfriend situation and spontaneously cries from time to time. He’s broken up with her! Probably so he can fuck around for the next six weeks and then tell her he made a terrible mistake.
Joao is going to be the one that gets drunk and acts like and asshole. He needs to watch where he puts his hands. Hannah has her eyes on Conrad. Rob that cradle, girl! He’s hot!
Joao seems to have a problem with authority. He especially doesn’t like that Conrad is above him, yet much younger. Or that Hannah is above him and female. I’m going to have to look to see how he interacts with Captain Sandy. He makes crass comments to Hannah on the van ride home and Adam has to literally put him in his place.
Next week: Captain Sandy’s friend, who is vaginal rejuvenation expert in LA, is bringing some friends on the boat. In other words, it’s more casting by Bravo. And Sandy seems to be hanging with the charter guests this week. Guess that boat is driving itself.
UPDATED! The Blonde almost vegetarian who doesn’t eat out of bowls got in a tit for tat with Hannah last night. She first claimed that the reason she didn’t eat the duck was because the legs were still on. DO THESE PEOPLE NOT REALIZE THAT WE ARE WATCHING THE SHOW?
I really, really, really, REALLY dislike Joao. He is a jerk. Between his nasty attitude with authority figures, to his attitude with Hannah, handsy way he was with Kasey and the way he talked to/about her, has me thoroughly grossed out. Yes the charter guests were terrible but this episode set Joao up to have a rough season.
Agree. SO aggressive.
Yep. Not defending it, but other cultures have different values or lack there of when it comes to women.
I call that nasty redhead The Sea Witch! Adam and Hannah said they were the worst guests they had ever encountered in their history of yachting. That is, until later in the season! Ack!
I prefer Sea Hag. ?
I second Seahag! Their behavior was repulsive, I don’t think honest to god normal rich people behave that way. Some may but most don’t. I would have tied that fucking redhead to the anchor and thrown the fucker overboard.
Perfect name
I think plain old, CUNT, best describes this waste of resources.
My husband said it perfectly, the redhead reminds him of the wicked step sister from cinderella.
These guests need to check themselves they are far from ladies more like scanks treating people that are serving you what looks pretty good to me the way you are treating them you should be tossed overboard everyone deserves to be respectful I would be spitting in your food you look like a bunch of asses I think they do a wonderful job and you did ask for pasta!
I think I heard the primary say as she boarded the ship “Is this all you got?” Maybe she was expecting a Range Rover but got a Copper Mini.
All of the blonde’s live videos on FB were GUSHING about how great the experience was. She did make reference to the other women being drama queens and doing things like demanding the hot tub be drained and recleaned. The blonde also has mostly travel photo on her FB, at least the public ones. She was just in Hawaii during the volcanic eruption. She is no newbie to traveling.
Also on the video we saw a bit of Kasey working on the boat and being pleasant. So our perception that she didn’t work at all was editing. And she did babysit them on the land excursion.
There is real concern about tourists going to the actual eruption area. If she went to Hilo town or Kona, then vog will be the only issue.
I am interested to know if Kasey was paid for this charter since she didn’t do a lick of work?
Captain Lee would have paid her. Not sure if Captain Sandy would. I would have given her share to Jamie because she was working two jobs.
It seemed to me these guests were not actually friends I wonder if they even knew each other prior to filming. There was little to no interaction and it looked stiff and staged like they had nothing to really talk about.
Possibly they were cast to be difficult to set up the storylines for the season. If all had gone smoothly on the first charter it would be boring.
I hope that 2 day cruise was worth it because production made all of those women look like FOOLS!!!
It wasn’t production that made them look like Fools, they did it to themselves. Fucking drunk, classless, rude bitches. People with money don’t act like that.
There have been plenty of times when production embarrassed the guests. There was a whole season of it. They all got in touch with each other, and some of them with me about it. THEY DIDN’T LOOK 10% as bad as these ladies. And the blonds comments on social media prove it was not production driven. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt up to that point.
Huh! You’re right! Didn’t notice, but now that you say it…
The blond is Michelle Hillberry and she posted a sort of apology video before this weeks show. She apologized for the other guests but blamed her bahavior this week on Hannah & Adam. She said that she only knew one of the charter guests prior to the trip. From the comments that were made on the post by people that know her, I think it was Areca the SeaHag that she knew before the trip. Last night she said that she was told she would have to contribute $6000 towards the tip and she is now pissed that her $6000 was 1/2 of the tip. All of the other charter guests are mad at her for leaving her SM public and posting the apology.
I just added some of the social media stuff to the post above.
I see nothing but broken links.
This first charter sucked ass majorly. Maybe it was filler and intro for all new crew and their personalities. The women acted and spoke the way that the label *obnoxious Americans* was borne.
Just for full disclosure at this time in my life I am not in the throes of anexoria. It is always there waiting. I am 5’8 and was previously a size 2-4 at 116 to never an ounce over 124. God forbid I hit 124 +1/2. The single solitary thing that would always keep me in an unhealthy expectation was when every damn asshole in my life kids, husband and family and for sure restaurant employees would comment on my dinner plate. Whether I pushed food around or never ate in front of anyone ever. I know that when anyone even spouse or kids mentioned anything to do with food. I’d get irate and dig my heels in.
I am currently ok I weigh 165 on a good day stayed that way for two years. Now everyone’s comments about my weight cand snide remarks about looking pregnant or husband saying I must be 215 by now I feel it. It’s muffled but I hear it.
That chick that was very buzzed and re drying to a toddler over her food issues is a dead ringer for my life.
Adam to me still has that fkn weird ass vibe to me. Hannah keep drinking keep doing you. The rest not sure yet. The fire island cruise captain I see you. Conrad is adorbs but my own eldest is 22 so I seriously cannot sport a chub. It might just be me and ovulating ATM but I’m super attracted to Joao at this moment.
Next epi with Captain Sandy’s crew looks amazing. I need more scenery of places I’ll never get to see. Get on it Bravo we came to peek into lives we can’t ossibly imagine donor pull a housewives and lose focus. I don’t want harp’ys screeching. I want see how they live and eat and dress.
Congratulations on being in recovery! Tell hubby to shut it. Maybe buy him a Camille ball gag.
Hang in there. One step, one day, one mouthful. None of my business, but the one time spouse was puzzled by my eating behavior (I have to take 30-40 mins to eat/digest due to health issues), I sat him down, looked him in the eye and said plainly how sick I got. He asked all the questions he needed. Now he is fine.
No one should comment on how or what you eat. Try to eat healthy, drink water and forgive yourself when things go awry. I eff up DAILY.
Sorry for getting wound up.
Perhaps the guest was taking an eating stimulant and it messed her up.
The apology video from Michele Hillbery is everything! Lol Seens like she’s taken quite the beating all week. #quackquackbitch
How did you find it? My googler isn’t finding it.
She deleted it 🙁
I took a couple screen caps before it was gone, to show my daughter—Michele was saying she didn’t know the other women before hand (except for Areka who is no longer speaking to her, and alluded that Areka drinks and needs “help”) and that the women were all bashing Michele and angry that she was apologizing. Oh, also that the duck still had feet attached and that’s why she was grossed out! Someone who was either the real Hannah or an imposter wrote back that the duck feet part was BS. Oh and she was pissed that she paid half the tip and the women “tricked” her.
Yes! I knew those women were cast they were not friends!
I saw an ad once asking to be cast as a friend for a reality show on a yacht
She finally deleted it either late last night or this morning. It took me about two hours to read all of the comments and her responses. She posted some additional videos in the comments of SeaHag having a hissy fit because a cloth was laying on the floor. Most of her responses included 15 emoji. I still have her page open on my computer so I can still read most of them but the videos don’t work.
I’ve gotten quite a few likes on my twitter for what I said last week about the red head.
If she seems familiar, picture her saying “Edgar wanted sugar water”.
She’s the farmer’s wife in the beginning of Men in Black!
I’m NOT liking how Sandy is towards Hannah. Other than the nuts not being delivered right away, Hannah was hustling and not causing any waves with any of the crew. She didn’t even say anything to Sandy when Sandy woke her up – and I got the impression that Sandy wasn’t pleased she had to wake Hannah up.
I’m dying laughing…..my husband said the same thing and we have been walking around saying, “egger wants sugar water”…”egggerrrrr!” all week. Lmao
Omg!! That’s who she (the redhead) reminds me of- Siobhan Fallon Hogan!!
Thank u, that was seriously driving me nuts.
Bring me sugaaar wateeeer…….
(Thanks for getting the name of the actress, although I doubt she wants to be acknowledged with the SeaHag.
I can’t believe the primary gave that parting advice to pay attention to the preference sheets–after Captain Sandy called them out on their preference sheets.
As Tamara mentioned, I too wondered if the blonde had some sort of eating disorder because of her complete inconsistency about what food she liked and her inability to talk about what she liked. Poor Adam, having to keep whipping up different things for these guests!
No one mentioned it on the show, but I wondered how all the crew felt about splitting tips with Kasey after she did absolutely no work.
Conrad reminds me of someone, but it is driving me crazy that I can’t think who! Help! Who is he like?
I wondered that about Kasey too. She should have voluntarily opted out of the tip split, knowing that she did nothing to help.
I know, Kasey should have (not) taken her share of the tip…it’s just crazy that she’s on that
boat ??? I’m thinking it’s b/c it’s a TV show…
Shaun Cassidy
The blonde was too stupid for not knowing the difference between seafood and shellfish. Should of put a BOWL of Spaghetti O’s in front of her.
I thought for sure the crew would of gotten stiffed on the tip.
A young David Bowie, in my opinion.
Shaun Cassidy
Conrad looks like he could be in a boy band
So, does everyone think the nausea pills will work?
I think it’s kinda crazy to just not replace her.
OMG, the “advice” that woman gave them as she left……Maybe SHE should have checked the preference list!
I felt kinda bad for Hannah when that jerk was attacking her on the way back. Who does he think he is?
Is Hanna really only 24?
She’s 30
Why bother to lie then?
I don’t think she was lying so much as giving a snarky answer to a question she knew wasn’t coming from someone simply trying to get to know her.
No, Hannah is at least 30, she said so. These guests were so awful that it had to be scripted. I’ve lived a long time and interacted with a lot of wealthy people, and even the nouveau riche didn’t act this Vulgar and low class. Also, I don’t need any more fake romances among the young people. I’d really love to see people having fun on a fabulous boat in the Med. I’ve seen enough Seahags!
Yep, I agree with you…
I think Hannah is 31. I love Hannah. She looked really pretty last night on WWHL.
The charter guests were really unfair to Hannah and Adam. Do you guys honestly think that these women believe they are better just because they have money? I’d like to think that the majority of rich people do not act or think this way. But who knows. I met Lisa Vanderpump and Yolonda Hadid last year in New York. They were super nice and most certainly did not act like they were superior. They could’ve very easily treated me a certain way considering I was there for my dads interview for Rooster and Butch and they are pretty big reality stars. But they both were very nice. We took so many pictures with Lisa that I do think she started to get a little annoyed but she was very nice and asked me and my daughter questions and answered our questions. Anyway sorry I totally went left field there. I just would really love to know if these women were prompted and/or encouraged by production to behave this way. Or if people really do act like that!
I just reread my post. I was trying to say that Lisa and Yolonda are big reality stars. I think it may have come across as though I was implying something else. Just wanted to clarify that.
Just thought of this, they should collide the Housewives and Below Deck for a special Housewives Below Deck! I’d watch!
I understand what you are saying. There’s a fine line between tasteful and tacky. And money doesn’t always factor into the equation
I’m excited for this season-Capri looks gorgeous!! Am I too old to stew at 60? Um, the answer is yes!! I would have totally done this in my ’20’s!! What’s that song-“Money can’t buy you class” (sung offkey of course!!)
No, there is actually a large amount of stews over 50. There are a ton in their 20s, then they drop out and have babies, and others who switch careers and stew over 50.
I had to watch the scene three times, but I’m convinced that the creep Joao deliberately spilled his drink on that girl to give him an excuse to touch her, and creep on her. He needs to go. Speaking of people that need to go, Kasey had better get her shit together or get on a plane. A seasick stew is a worthless stew. They have no time to do her job for her, and her taking the tip despite not doing jack on the charter was just shameful.
I could never do these jobs, I don’t have the patience for it. The Sea Hag would have been tossed overboard on the first night. Blondie would have been give a bowl of Cheerios, and the primary would have gotten an earful after her remark about the preference sheets. She must have felt that after having it shoved in their faces at dinner, she had to somehow save face, and pretend that they were on the right side of the argument.
Not surprised to hear that they cheated the blonde girl out of 6k for the 12k tip considering it was 4 of them on the charter. That’s some low rent behavior, not the behavior of people accustomed to “first class vacations” as Nichelle kept reminding everyone. Truly some low rent hags. I’m embarrassed for these Real Housewives of Atlanta rejects.
Ooooooooo you are just reading…but yes the guests were horrible and Kasey should have not accepted her share of the tip.
It makes me laugh thinking that she could figure out she got ripped off in tip giving but didn’t know what to ask for dinner. I’ve worked as a professional chef in a restaurant and there’s always a couple of folks who ask for certain items to be included or excluded from a dish but I have NEVER seen people act as these women. Hannah and Adam did an excellent job keeping their cool. By the way and this is directed to the hapless blonde woman, Hannah precisely said the ingredients in the starter meal and main. Lobster is the star of each dish. That’s why the first word used was Lobster. And what Adam prepared for you DID NOT include a duck with FEET. In order for Adam to get something made quickly to keep you at pace with the others at the table, he would have to at least butterfly the duck breast. (taking 1 large breast slicing through it to make it looks like 2 breasts) It cooks faster. He worked on 3 plates for you. I’m surprise he didn’t run out the kitchen with a sauce pan shooing you from the table.
Oh and Joao is a tool.
These women are so horrible. I would hope their behavior was at least producer driven.
I would be mortified.
So I was sent some facebook videos of the blonde chick and in one, I swear it looks like the primary and the redhead are about to make out The the blonde quickly moves them out of camera range and announces she is filming. They could just have been really close talking… I didn’t see actual lip contact before the camera moved but it looked like in the movies when two people are moving in for a kiss.
People will sell their souls to get on a reality show these days.
I feel bad for Kasey. I’ve rewatched a few times and she most def does not have her sea legs. I have severe motion sickness. My family tried to drive me from NY to Orlando at 8 months for a Disney thing. The embarrassing g stories of my never ending puking still holds true today. I am always the driver at all times. If I try to ride passenger or God forbid backseat it never works out to this day. If by chance in the every 5 years I decide to have cocktails and husband must drive me or any other that prefers to drive. I am leaning out the rolled down window. I keep lemon heads and hot ginger ale on my lap but I’m miserable and green. If I am driving myself taking a tight turn sharp corner I get queasy. I wonder in the yacht world if the docs just place a scopamine patch on patient. It’s discreet and doesn’t knock you out. A little dry mouth but still present. Slap that sucker behind your ear for a few days and take 1/2 of phenergan you can go marlin fishing in Costa Rica with the best.
I’m excited to watch the female sex toy convention next week.
Oh Gina !!! lol lol lol lol lol !!!
If Kasey is being truthful, it was nice to see someone who was not interested in screwing around. Mind you, I did my share of stupid stuff. Wish I hadn’t.
Food sensitivities get worse when someone’s gut is messed up. I feel for her. But she should have used her tip to buy everyone’s dinner.
Joao claiming he had “romance” with Kasey when they were talking under the umbrellas was b.s.
My god those trashy women were beyond rude, seriously I’m surprised nobody chucked them overboard! I don’t care how much money they paid, it is never ok to speak to anybody like they were speaking to the crew. They are human beings not subordinate minions! Normally I’m anti calling women “Bitches” but in this case with these women, “Bitch” is NOT a strong enough word.
did anybody else notice Adam spitting in the food? that was not a taste without a spoon. I have rewatched it like 5 times and after he has his face over the pot he raises up in their spit on his mouth and his lips or tight and then he turns around to see if anybody saw him.
are there any legalities to them talking about the guests personal behind closed door lives?
I wonder if the guests ever contact the boat owner about the staff going through personal things or revealing personal things?
I am just extremely thankful Danny and Brian aren’t in the picture as those two we’re Beyond creepy.
If he did this, he should be prosecuted for assault. I don’t care how awful the guests are, spitting in food is not a joke–it is a crime.
There was this moment when Hannah walked into the galley, pivoted to address someone there, and said “Heh-wo!” a la Elmer Fudd. I watched it three times. I found it unaccountably adorable.
Sorry Joao, but $1,000 feeds my family of four in America for two months too, and very nicely! I’m guessing maybe things weren’t as bad for him back ‘home’ as he likes to make out.
Hello.
I feel like I have to defend the blond here as I got a totally different feeling about her than everyone else.
If you re-watch from the first episode, she is incredibly embarrassed by the actions of the others who are there. She tries to distance herself.
I think she got roped into the promise of a great girls’ vacation and then, after paying, realized that these were not the types of people she wanted to be with.
For the dinner, I think she did not like the soup. Instead of saying “I did not like it” and risking being thrown into the “complainers group”, she chose to say that she didn’t like seafood. It is something I would have done. It is just an attempt to be polite to the chef and not complain, especially when one feels that the chef and staff have been unfairly complained about.
That was just my take. I have been in a similar situation recently where one of my party was complaining about everything and it was personally embarrassing for me. There is nothing you can do about it really but hope management realizes that there are some people who cannot be pleased. Often, these people just want to get out of paying and will focus on anything to complain about. Fortunately, Captain Sandy was astute enough to see who these people are.
For the record, whenever someone screams loudly about how they are “accustomed to luxury”, I know that they are not. Luxury comes easily.
I am not especially fond of this Kasey, but she had every right to take a portion of the tip. She was a part of the team even if she could not work.
There are professional sailors who get seasick. A better way to handle it would have been to be patient and see what happened by day three. Getting on and off the ship is a mistake when one’s body is trying to accustom itself to the rocking. Had she just stayed on board and sweated (for lack of a better word) it out, she would have been completely better by the next day or day three.
Joao has a very scary personality. I think there may be some problems there.
I think Conrad is adorable.
That is all.
At their age, I did everything they are doing, but MORE on land, and was lucky to get $20 in tips a day. Working at a lodge in Tahoe, you do see tourists behaving badly, but I always played a role, that everyone meant well. Sometimes, problem children turned into my best tippers. At that time, minimum wage paid rent and utilities and I LOVED being a WAITRESS, not “server” back then. I enjoy seeing Adam and Hannah getting along this time. Hannah should have known to grab a bowl and pour some nuts into it (and pray for choking). Adam may not have been cooking, but cutting crudités is best done right before serving and Head Beeatch wanted her NUTS! NOW! I would like to chew up Big Red and spit her out to get stuck on the bottom of a shoe where she belongs. A shoe walking through a big pile of dog shit.
Difference in yahtie tips and Tahoe tops is the that “rents” for 200,000 a charter to a million plus a week. Staff is 24/7 at beck and call. Big difference in clientele
And from what I have heard for years, yachties have always been extremely attractive.
I finally remembered to search on several chi-chi recipe, kitchenware and lifestyle sites — pasta + bowl — brings up several delicious-looking recipes on the food sites and lots of homey to elegant bowls on the kitchenware sites. I love eating LOTS of things out of bowls (although in my transition to temporary lodgings I used Pyrex pie plates as a PERFECT COMBO of plate and bowl). Bowls have a comfortable and comforting shape. And you can get the last drops of the sauce. Perhaps the primary had never been to a fancy restaurant that used bowls and only remembered them from her childhood.
Pie plates what a fantabulous idea!!! I find them at thrift stores for 50 cents to a dollar all the time. Great idea for kids as they can use side for pushing food. Oh man I love you
And “red’ was so nasty in saying that her dog eats out of bowls but she doesn’t. And then to go on and insult the chef by calling his food “slop” was beyond!!!! She looks like, as well as the primary and other nasty guests, that they should all be eating out of actual dog dishes. Gross women. Goes to show that people with new money need to take etiquette lessons prior to being allowed outdoors with civilized people.
Calling the redhead a drunk, self entitled, uneducated,, rude, alcoholic, embarrassment of a redneck would be an insult to rednecks. Nobody I’ve ever known, wealthy or working class has ever behaved so disgustingly. I’m sure anyone who comes in contact with her has to bite their toungue while she’s being verbally abusive, unappreciative, and speaking so horrifically rude to them. Most people probably want to punch her in her smug mouth. And the ‘primary’? She’s a joke and reminds me of that person who complains so much because they want a discount. Such low class animals/trash. Next time, they should ask for a barnyard theme to match their manners. They should all be ashamed of themselves!!!
