Let’s hope this week’s title refers to the relations between the crew and not another group of nasty women. We are back with the crew just back from their drunken land outing. Joao, as it turns out is even more of a misogynist drunk than he is sober. He was highly inappropriate with the ladies at the bar, and then topped it off with standing over Hannah in the van on the way home hurling insults at her. Generally, the Bosun would have stepped in to reprimand him but since that didn’t happen with Conrad, Adam had to do it. Now everyone is drunk eating in the kitchen. Conrad tries to explain that he didn’t think it was appropriate since they were off duty and Hannah is quite upset. Not bitchy Hannah being a bitch upset. She’s a bit unsettled because some man (I use the term loosely) was standing over her berating her for no apparent reason on the ride home.
Adam and some of the crew are eating ice cream on the floor. Joao decides that he wants to stick his fingers in the container. Adam puts a stop to that and when Joao continues to be an asshole, Adam throw him out of the galley.
Brooke apparently doesn’t care what a piece of crap Joao has presented himself as. She’s been broken up with her boyfriend for hours now. Her gaping hole of need is not going to fill itself. Joao is giving his best drunken lines to Brooke that she is falling for hook, line, and sinker when Hannah comes in to go to bed. And immediately leaves. So much drama. I much prefer crew drama to guest drama.
Joao says when he is blackout drunk he becomes Jezabob. Brooke calls her mom to cry over her old boyfriend and tell her about who she has her sights set on now.
In case you missed it The Redhead from the last charter tried to apologize to Sandy. We think.
The problem with the next guests are that the primary is friends with Captain Sandy. Does this mean two lesbian cruises in a row? I am sensing a theme here. Jennifer is a vaginal rejuvenation doctor in LA. Sandy moved to LA at the end of last season. Make of that what you will. It’s her birthday and her friends have asked for a huge desert bar. Oh and the weather that is rolling in is so bad, they may be docked for a day.
Brooke tells Joao that they need to cool things off so she can focus on her job. Hannah figures out that Kasey doesn’t know how to sort laundry, let alone operate the machines. I just took forty pounds of dirty bathrobes, sweats, pajamas and sheets to the fluff and fold. But when I go to my sister’s I can’t operate her fancypants washer and dryer either.
Captain Sandy tells Conrad to offload the tinder before another boat comes in and boxes them in. She says he will and then goes off to smoke and giggle with Hannah. Meanwhile, I’m watching Kasey try with all her brain to properly fold a towel. She’s not successful.
This charter is going to be completely docked. Captain Sandy is livid that Conrad didn’t get the tinder launched in time so now they can’t even take a ride on the tender. This may be the worst charter ever and Captain Sandy is already pissed because she has said many times that this is her friend that she wants to impress. Perhaps the “womanizer” that Jennifer bought her will cheer her up. It’s a vibrator that seems very boring and acutely focused. But whatever gets you off as they say. Sandy wasn’t to thrilled by the on camera gift giving. But how would Jennifer get a kick back without it?
Someone didn’t get the salads that Adam made on the van. Hannah will be in trouble for that. Kasey doesn’t know how to vacuum a floor. Hannah will be in trouble for that. At least Joao has apologized to Hannah. Joao has still been a shitty lead deckhand. He is insisting that someone needs to be on watch 24 hours even if the boat is docked. Conrad has said it isn’t necessary. Most of the crew is working their asses off. Except for Kasey. Joao continues to make advances toward Kasey after being told to stop. The food is a hit. Kasey is impossible. All Colin has done is practice a rap this entire charter. It actually came out kind of cute.
Since Hannah was up late cleaning up the heel marks from the girl who insisted on wear heels on the boat, Brooke is stuck doing breakfast mostly by herself because Kasey it seems can’t even pour a co-cola and hasn’t bothered to learn the guests names. Sandy was a bitch about getting her toast on time. Isn’t she supposed to support her crew rather than cause more issues? Clearly, we don’t need to buy that vibrator as it is clearly not working. Then she goes off on Hannah for trying to order provisions for the third charter. Sandy wants her to go down and make sure everyone has their breakfast drinks. Hannah leaves the bridge in tears.
Next week: Hannah and Conrad become more than friends. Jaime is at her breaking point when it comes to Joao and the deck. The situation between Joao and Conrad escalates. Sandy is on the wrong side of every issue. If you had told me last season, I’d be on Hannah’s side this season, I would have laughed. Yet here we are. Kasey and Joao both need to be fired.
Hannah is working her arse off!! How did kasey get this job?? I think for the show conflict?? Is everything scripted nowadays??? I miss Captain Lee!!
I like this show but not a great crew this time out. Always liked Capt. Sandy but the staff on the boat is not very interesting or even memorable. Hope it gets better. Waiting patiently for Flipping Out. That cast never disappoints.
Geez Louise, I must admit after hearing about Ramona’s car accident today, I found myself wondering if she could have been so out of control after going into a tailspin and that she gave it full throttle and careened across the Atlantic Ocean, making a hard-right Portugal (and dinging part of Morocco in her haste to gun it to the Med, where she ploughed into multiple floors of Captain Sandy’s ship and thus created the chaos we saw. Like maybe she got confused and thought ship-stirring might be the same thing as shyyte-stirring? Nah, she was halfway around the world – Ramona couldn’t have been responsible for that maritime cake someone left out in the rain. I don’t think that I can take it. Cause it took so long to bake it. And I drank wine tonight.
Did anyone else notice the Barilla pasta being poured from the box into the boiling water? Italian night, but I guess poor Adam had a lot of desserts to make.
Product placement. I was once told by an Italian Italian chef that de cecco (sp?) is the best dry pasta to buy.
Your chef friend is right. De cecco has been my pasta of choice for 35 yrs.
Yeah, Barilla is actually Italian, and if one must do dried pasta that you have to keep on hand, it is the go-to for a lot of people I know (and I know people who make their own fresh pasta. It is a pain in the ass and isn’t always consistent. Adam is smart to worry more about the sauces, etc.)
If you are making your own lasanga, I love their no boil noodles!!!!
I’m always so tempted to try no boil noodles but, for some weird reason terrified that I’ll mess something up!
I’ve not made lasagna in a while, but I don’t use anything else when I do!
I always use the no boil, but make sure to cover them with the sauce, if even a light layer. Boiling and then trying to get a nice whole piece of lasagna noodle is a lot of work for me.
My family is Italian and I’ve never had a complaint.
De Cecco is a good brand, my original family name but no pasta money for us.
As another poster said, sauce them well, cover pan with foil. I only use no boil. But I only make cheese and veg lasagna. The meat prep takes too long for me. And with terrific Italian restaurants 15 mins away, if I want that, it is easy to buy.
Agree Barilla no boil is great.. My local market makes great hot Italian sausage.. so good. I remove the casing and and mix with their extra lean ground beef. Yes, must use extra sauce with the no boil.
I got so tired of using the regular lasagna pasta.. always split in half , messy to use.
Turned my best friend on to it .. that is all she uses now.
It is after midnight and I am craving Italian sausage right now. Is the hot version really spicy? That sounds good in a lasagna.
I will never use the other kind again. You cannot taste the difference
Barilla pasta is made in Ames Iowa.
It’s still an Italian company. Just like Toyota is a Japanese company. They have a subsidiary here in the US.
I don’t boil the lasagne noodles. I just make a day ahead and by sitting in the frig. overnight kind of marinates the lasagne noodles and it comes out perfect. I like Barilla too.
Barilla is made in Ankeny, Iowa – 15 miles from my location. Maybe the name is Italian, but it’s made right i the heartland.
Barilla is actually from and still has its global HQ in Parma, where it produces pasta for Italy and the EU market (along with other production plants in a few countries like the US). My Italian family uses it all the time!
So Italian and American made… win win!
An Italian lady who is an excellet cook taught me to never boil lasagna noodles. I haven’t boiled any in over a decade. I can’t imagine Adam cooking a different breakfast for everyone including Capt. Sandy. Then a birthday dinner with many desserts, Amazing
I’m loving all the “I’m Italian and I never boil my lasagna noodles”, etc. comments that I’m seeing. It was my sweet old 100% Norwegian grandmother that taught me to not boil them. LOL
Hannah has to learn to develop her workers. She lacks terribly in the area of coaching and developing staff hence the poor output. Hannah thrives only when there is a competent second stew like Bugsy (from last season) who did all the work while she (Hannah) took accolades.
Kasey was sitting in her bunk due to seasickness(!!!) While everyone was doing her job. Not Hannah’s fault.
Totally agree with your comments Arlene
Isn’t it ultimately Sandy’s responsibility over both departments of the boat. The interor and the deck? Yes, Hannah had a few miss steps, nothing I’d get upset over, but how can Sandy not realize that Hannah has not been available to train the princess, I forgot her name, because of her sea sickness. So far I’m really disappointed in Sandy.
Agree!
They need to get rid of the seasick chick asap!
But she’s like, “So smart!” imagine the pearls of wisdom that will shortly drip from her mouth.
I think Jennifer Berman is married, so I don’t see any hot lesbian sex on the horizon, although I guess anything’s possible. I was surprised to read that she’s in her early 50’s – she looks much younger than that – very attractive lady. Ooops, I just noticed – hubbies are apparently on board. I did think Jennifer was way out of line when she handed Captain Sandy the vibrator in front of her crew, and then told her she had homework to do – that night! How is a leader supposed to have any respect from her team after something like that. It’s a very different culture on board a luxury charter yacht that it is in a doctor’s office or on a television show, and Jennifer should have recognized that.
Brooke is a very naive young girl who thinks she has to have a boyfriend around her all the time – she would be like a guppy swimming with a shark if she hooked up with Joao – he’s such a pig – blaming his disgusting behavior on an alter ego, what was it? Jezebob! That’s such an easy excuse – it wasn’t me, I don’t remember a thing. It was Jezebob! Joao is a really nice guy. Yeah, right!
Why is Hannah hooking up with Conrad? He’s waaaaaaaay too young for her, and shipboard romances are a disaster. Doesn’t she know better? Also, keeping Kasey on as a stew is a huge mistake – Hannah says she doesn’t know how to do even the basic things – laundry, ironing, cleaning. Then she has the gall to argue with Captain Sandy when she tells her that the floors aren’t clean. “I did them” – no you didn’t, you lame, useless twit, or the Captain wouldn’t be telling you they needed to be done.
Not really a very exciting episode – Hannah seems to be losing her edge. She needs to get back on her game, although it is unfair for her to be saddled with Kasey and guests who wear high heels on board.
Looking forward to Joao getting taken down a peg or two. Haven’t he or Conrad ever heard of the word ‘insubordination’? That’s what Joao is doing when he constantly challenges Conrad and blames it on his upbringing . Conrad is the bosun, Joao, and you need to learn to do what you’re told. Of course, Conrad didn’t do too well when he ignored Captain Sandy’s order to put the tinder in the water. Not too good all around.
Agree, the guest shouldn’t have given Sandy the vaginal regenerater in front of a crew member. It blurs the line of personal and profession. Sandy could have insistered they take it to the bridge and have a demonstration there
This charter wasn’t a good look for Captain Sandy.
I love this show obv. for scenery of places I at this point in my life story may not ever this lifetime afford to visit.
(Clearly marriage and kids leaves nada for me to run off and bath topless. Sadly that is why I watch.)
I’ve always enjoyed Cpt. Sandy, but after my third rewatch her chastising the bosun was soooooo forced soooo fourth wall breaking shit. That scene was so obvious a Bravo production set up that she couldn’t even deliver anger or getting cunty. Cap. Sandy could not contain her shit.
I loved it glad my enjoyment was vindicated that I’m literally watching myself my neighbors my families life in full 4K hd.
I loooove ya Capt Sandy do not fall trap to Bravo reality script don’t you dare.
Agree, the guest shouldn’t have given Sandy the vaginal regenerater in front of a crew member. It blurs the line of personal and profession. Sandy could have insistered they take it to the bridge and have a demonstration there
Or given it to Hannah – that way she might leave poor little Conrad alone.
Haaaa!! Awesome!
Haaa!! Awesome!
I was disappointed in Capt Sandy this episode. She was making things *harder* on her crew by letting the guest wear her shoes and then requesting three special items for breakfast (spinach omelet, dry toast, then add porridge when she heard someone else mention it). I was in awe of how much food and fancy desserts Adam turned out so quickly. Kasey works at a snail’s pace–she needs to improve dramatically or go.
I was shocked and surprised at all the stuff Adam made!!
I really didn’t like him before, but he really did great last night.
Completely agree about Sandy making it harder!
Does the captain get a portion of the tip? If so she acted incredibly horribly by acting like she was a guest. Don’t put a negative impression in the guests mind just before they leave a tip!
This is the first season I have really watched this show. Tried when it started but didn’t like Capt Sandy too much. I gave it another try and really don’t like her. She is the type of boss that gives women bosses a bad name. She doesn’t seem to have the same attitude as our favorite Capt, Capt Lee — she seems to personally dislike Hanna and Adam and it shows in her treatment of them. (I take it there is a history, at least from last season, but Sandy seems to treat them in an unprofessional way.)
I think Sandy is more concerned with herself, her image, her friends, etc. than being a professional. She may have had to placate the guests from hell in the first charter, but failed to support the staff afterward. And this time, she was more concerned with pleasing her friends than anything — allowing a guest to wear heels onboard because they are a friend, and her lack of concern about the effects and aftermath of cleanup required is bad form. IMHO
Most of the staff is unlikeable and personally I do not enjoy the amount of time spent filming their drunken fights. Drunken drama to the point of blackouts is not entertaining.
This may have been my last viewing. I just wish Bravo would start airing more shows each week. Where is Jeff Lewis? And our NYC realtors?
I never
I’m looking forward to more Jeff Lewis too. I just saw he is trying for another baby!
Have you watched the show with Ryan from MDL? Sell It Like Serhant? It’s really good, and I just really like him so much!
Love SILS!
He just seems so nice and he really helps them!!
Sometimes I could use his advice in general. Not because of a job. Just all the junk in my life
I will be reading the TT recaps, but won’t watch any more this season. The whole episode was too tee hee sexual for me. The vibrator was tacky.
Female bosses do get a bad rap when they behave in the manner Sandy did. I have had bosses like her and it did not go well.
Drunken fights, a lack of concern about the job, not training Kacey, makes for unwatchable tv for me.
Why can a woman coo at the male deckhands and say “you are cute”? If a man did that to the women, there would be hell to pay.
Sandy has stepped up her make up and hair game this season, I was thinking it was just for the first charter but nope. Joao is a little asshole, he is a slimy fucker who will pay ya on the back to find where to slip the knife in. Can’t stand him at all. Conrad is very sweet and I fear Hannah will eat him alive. Kasey needs to go home, how did she get this far in life and not know how to do certain things? Separating laundry I learned at like 7 or 8 for crying out loud. I really like this boat much better, the one capt lee has had the last 2 seasons is far to white for my liking. Adam is doing great in my opinion food wise, there have been so many mouth watering things coming from the kitchen. Even having a tummy bug I was wanting that food.
Conrad is plain incompetent. He sat there when Joao went after Hannah on the bus where Adam had to step in. The tender probably was production, but it made him look like a fool. Joao was right on keeping an eye on the fenders and lines with such rough weather, but he is a jerk.
Agree, Sandy looked like a silly high schooler on this episode. Captain Lee is far better.
I guess, mainly, I don’t like Captain Sandy. I didn’t like her at first, and I still don’t like her. She doesn’t act like a captain. I haven’t been on many ships, but when I was the crew were very disciplined for fear that
the Captain would notice something not up to his standards. Captains know what is going on everywhere
on his ship, Captain Sandy knows nothing about what is happening below deck.
Can’t stand the insubordinate deck hand, and the sick stew should have been left on the dock after first
voyage.
Still love the show, and this episode for the wonderful food. What I wouldn’t give to get served with a dinner like that!
Captain Sandy is really flaky this season. She looked almost goofy in the way she acted round the vajayjay mechanic – kind of like she had a crush on her. Surely she has to realize that Hannah is basically down a stew – having someone who’s incompetent is almost worse than having no one at all, since you spend so much time checking their work and showing them how to do things properly. The fact that they didn’t send Miss “I’ve Never Actually Left the Dock” home immediately shows that it’s a Production ploy to cause Hannah stress and give Captain Sandy grounds to “complain”. Don’t know how Adam keeps up with all the demands placed on him. Is that how things are on a charter yacht? People just randomly decide they want this or that? How could you possibly keep enough provisions on board to satisfy everyone’s last-minute whims? I know on luxury liners you can request items, but they have huge refrigeration units, which a yacht couldn’t possibly have. I wouldn’t want his job for anything – especially after the rude redhead and the ditzy blonde who didn’t know what she liked and didn’t like. Then, in addition to guests, it looks as though he does all the cooking for the crew. Poor guy deserves a medal.
I get the impression that Kasey was a spoiled child who never had everything done for her. Can’t fold? Can’ Sort clothes? Geez
I wasn’t impressed with Captain Sandy this week. She was playing guest who also captained the boat.
I prefer Captain Lee, Kate and Ben(when they can get him).
Kasey is a spoiled child who had everything done for her. I don’t know how the never popped out ?
I have the impression that the crew sees the episode at same time or near about the time it airs. I hope Sandy sees the aggressive attack Hannah endured from Joal. anyone in PR would say he had created a hostile environment and grounds for termination. That kind of attack would have left me emotionally exhausted. She was so impressive dealing with him the following day one on one at the pizza shop. I wouldn’t feel safe around the guy. Later she was on dinner service. And don’t forget cleaning up the carpet. Sandy saw none of this because Hannah was doing her job keeping the drama/problems out of Sandy’s duties as captain.
And if I was guest and knew a deck member got black out drunk so as he couldn’t remember, I’d be scared the boat itself would have more danger than returning food or asking for dry toast.
Well Captain Sandy is not Captain Lee.. he would have handed out plane tickets to two or more the personnel on the boat..asap…
New people needed to support the expensive charter patrons pay for.
When the yachts are at the dock, how do they maintain security, to keep someone from just walking on board? That’s part of what Joao was addressing when he was saying someone had to be on watch 24/7, wasn’t it? (Hate to find myself agreeing with Joao.) Even if the dock has a security gate–i.e., you have to have a code or fob to start walking down the dock from the land–couldn’t someone from another boat on that dock just come on your boat?
Well, Sandy is one angry chick. I think she is still pissed off cause of last season at Hannah, so she is riding her hard.
Ah! That has to be he problem. Makes sense now.
When Hannah and Adam were on WWHL, they both alluded to starting off the season already on a shit list being difficult.
Kind of had a “what are you going to do about it”
I’m liking Adam more this season (without Bugsy around) – but I wish that he had figured out a way to deliver the salads to Hannah. It all worked out, but Hannah has been nice to him so far this season.
I did not like that Captain Sandy criticized the crew in front of the charter guests whether the guests were her friends or not. She should have listened to the guests complainants , kept her mouth shut and handled the situation with the crew in private . I’ve always thought that the “boss” should never citicize their team in front of others. It’s humiliating and can break a bond of trust that the team should have with their boss. I think Hannah was overwhelmed with having to pick up the slack for Kasey. I found it odd that Kasey was too sick to help out during the charter but she seemed to be feeling fine when the crew went out for dinner and dancing.
Yeah- not a Captain Sandy fan. It pisses me off that the first female captain to be featured sucks. Blows. W. That twisted anchor deal last season was her fuck up and her fuck up only but she blamed the crew. No respect.
What are those black and gold looking balls on the wall in the galley? They have shown them a couple times, what are they????
I’ve been been wondering the same thing!
I want to know too.
Me too! Wth are they?
Coffee pods for the Nespresso
Thanks!
I don’t know what they are but I know they aren’t Nespresso pods.
They are Nespresso pods. I would think Hannah would know and she is the source.
Hi Tamara,
Love your updates! Sometimes better than the show!
I’m a little late with my reply because you’ve already answered the “what are those black and gold balls” question but I’m just backing you up because you are correct! They are indeed Nespresso Verturo coffee machine pod capsules. They aren’t actually balls, but are flat on one side so they slide into the wall holder.
Thanks for always keeping us updated and amused!
I was about to ask the same question about the black and gold balls.
