Below Deck Med Recap: June, June, Hannah.

August 6, 2019 by tamaratattles 42 Comments

Below Deck Med RecapAhoy Mates! This Below Deck Med recap will be brought to you by me, TT as the Dalai Mama had an unexpected personal emergency to deal with at the last minute. Light your Saint Guadalupe, or Saint Valentina candles for her if you got them.

Here is the thing, I watched this week’s episode a couple of hours ago and then deleted it. I usually wait until the recap is up before deleting the show, and for some reason tonight I mashed the wrong button, So I am going to sort of freeball this here recap.

We started with Joao and Travis diving ninety feet down to try to free the anchor that was caught on another anchor that had to be cut off and left behind. This episode was high anxiety. Will Joao and Travis survive the dive?  Will Sandy get hoodlsh, moronic, faux riche fools to the safety of Saint Tropez or will they all be washed overboard? Can Captain Sandy pull a giant yacht into a slip that is only two meters wider than the boat? Will the drunk guy from from the boat next door deck the obnoxious female primary?

Below Deck Med Recap SandyCaptain Sandy’s Love For Joao Tripled This Week

Spoiler Alert! Everyone made it to Saint Tropez in the nick of time. No one was washed overboard. Joao is like a whole new person on this season and the deck crew is working together like a well-oiled machine. We got to see Joao kill things (lobsters) and save the day more than once a day. Who dis?

Jack continued to sleep, lick tongues with Aesha (Is that her name?) and be totally useless. June apparently has a hearing problem. Or as she says maybe she can’t understand her name. I know that sounds dumb. And she seems to have the IQ slightly above that of a nematoad. But Hannah does say June’s name really oddly. It sounds more like Jane. Still. She’s the only Jane/June on the boat. And She doesn’t respond to Captain Sandy either. I don’t think she will make it the entire episode. She brings nothing but irresponsibility and sad stories.

These charter guests are awful. As in you can’t take them anywhere awful. The odd situation with some former employer on the neighboring yacht was pretty ratchet. A simple, “Thanks for stopping by! It’s getting late and we are ready to turn in!” would have sufficed.

Anastasia’s meals were decent but not great this episode. I somehow missed that she was vegetarian until now. You don’t serve athletes, current or former, a vegetarian dinner. Or tiny portions. You give them a Tomahawk steak and a lobster. Also, I don’t recall seeing a carb anywhere. Nary a piece of bread was in sight. That caprese salad was probably delicious but way too small, especially for the guys. And it looked like lettuce not basil.

Below Deck MedAnastasia Is Too Big For Her Britches

The fact that Anastasia was pissed that they compliment Captain Sandy’s incredible docking skills instead of her eggplant and ketchup dinner amazed me.  And buffet style breakfast is not the way to go on this yacht.  So, take their egg orders! Plate the rest for them! Perhaps pass around the fruit.  But eggs, bacon, hash browns (and cheese grits if I’m a guest) go on the plate.

That said, I don’t believe these people have money or have eaten at many five start restaurants. I can’t imagine the horror that would occur if Johnny Damon sent back proteins for not being hot enough.So, I found them all to be annoying and classless.

They keep teasing the return of Ben but that didn’t happen this week as people had hoped. Not me. You people. I’m NOT a Ben fan. I think he will show up for the last charter or maybe two and the deaf girl will be sent packing and Anastasia will go back to being third stew.

Anyway, I am quite enjoying this season of Below Deck Med an no one annoys me to no end other than some of the guests.

    Hello other insomniacs!
    I think something weird is up with Anastasia-is someone else doing the cooking? Why was it so lackluster this charter? Also: everyone who is a cook knows lobsters are alive when you cook them. That’s why they are swimming in a tank at the store! Strange change of cooking approach and behavior is all.
    I remember Adam greeting guests with apron and baseball cap so I’m confused about the whole chef thing

    The 3rd stew turned chef got lucky the two charters. Johnny Damon is no prize, I’m a skankee hater from way back, (2004 reverse the curse, whoo) but they seem a bit messy. Ugh.

    I think Sandy told Adam he had to be more professional in front of the guests also. The only way that June makes sense to me is if the rumor that she’s Conrad’s GF is true. Production would have been delighted (after the ‘Chef’ Mila debacle, I really believe she was a plant ) but if she’s NOT constitutionally able to handle the ‘pressure’ and intrigue, her throwing up after Hannah asks her for the 2nd time whether or not she has a boyfriend makes sense. Ditto her insistence that Hannah is mistreating her. Hannah is not. June is incompetent and 1 thing we all know pisses Cpts Yawn and Lee off is crew not answering their radios.
    That exchange between Joao and June approached Caroline levels of crazy also.
    Anastasia and her simpering and baby talking over ‘murdering’ lobsters was not endearing. And why she chose this charter to experiment with nouveau cuisine portions on a day when this bunch of guests only had 2 instead of their usual 3 meals seemed deranged to me. I hope she stuck Johnny Damon’s lobster into the microwave when he sent it back too. And I hope that sycophant jock sniffer and gynocologist, Anders, returns to a practice empty of patients. Everytime he opened his mouth, a comment about sex or Johnny’s unmatched virility fell out. No class.
    Looks like Trevor is the person sacked? In the previews he was the 1 faceplanting into a deckchair while Joao commented in disgust. Trevor also walked away swearing at Joao and calling him names this episode for no apparent reason. I do wonder if production is so attached to this season’s ‘Joao’s redemption ‘ arc that we’re not seeing any of last season Joao. I very much believe he hasn’t changed that much.

    Candles lit for you Mama. Old school Italian Catholic candle burner here. Hope everything is ok. Johnny Damon & his entire entourage was a classless clusterfuck. Rude, crude & socially unacceptable. It was like watching the Beverly Hillbillies. June is a lost cause. Heave ho. Ben will most definitely return as Anastasia is phoning it in. I hope it’s not Travis getting fired. I really like him ! Loving this season ! More Colin please.

    Anastasia does have cooking skills, and whose ego wouldn’t get two sizes too big, when you are hired as a third stew and then save the day when the first Chef couldn’t cook. Sandy, IMO, should not have asked the girl to be Chef. This isn’t something you just pick up on a charter where clients pay a lot of money.

    The charter guests were as classless as they come. They’d eat a McDonald’s hamburger and claim its fine dining lol.

      In truth, many ‘world class athletes’ are vegan….. So that part didn’t play into her ineptness this episode. She has committed the ultimate sin of getting cocky! Those ‘guests’ were requirements by Bravo … Why???? And, agreed, Ben is either just passing or on board for a brief stint in the end! As for dimwit June??? No words

    Wow, I really didn’t think the guests were that bad at all. Full disclosure ~ I am a Red Sox fan and that year they broke the curse was incredible and Johnny Damon was a huge part of it.
    His wife got a bit nasty, but not that bad, and it was over that weirdo that came onboard.
    He sent food back twice without much complaint. They didn’t even complain that badly when asked imo.
    He even helped get the Jetski onto the boat without them asking.
    We didn’t see the tip, right?

    WTFFFF is wrong with June? What a f’ing weirdo.

    I can’t believe that woman sticking her finger in that man’s face. I thought she was going to bop him on the nose. I would have smacked her hand away too! No wonder everyone hates Americans. It’s awful to behave that way, but you really need to be on your best behavior in a foreign country.

    I was thinking it is either June or Anastasia who will get fired. Or June gets fired, Anastasia goes back to inside stew and Ben comes on as chef. Don’t love him either.

    I couldn’t believe Sandy was able to dock that ship in that small spot — or was it just bull for the show?

    I wonder what the tip will be. The group seemed to have different expectations re the food — what happened to the preference sheet?

    I don’t need to see the below deck romances.

          Yeah. I just kept trying to ignore all the idiot guests that weren’t the primaries. Especially that one. Then Johnny left is obnoxious wife/girlfriend to be the mouth piece for the ENTIRE GROUP WITH MEN when it came to the intruder. And at that point I was done with all of them.

          Then the next day the were (probably scripted to) talk about the lack of five star service they are accustomed to? Please.

    This episode was a little meh for me but I agree that it appears that June will be the one fired as Anastasia isn’t able to pull off 5 star cuisine and will likely return to 3rd Stew.

    Thanks for recapping TT. Positive vibes going out to Dalai Mama.

      I am thinking that since Anastasia made the decision to leave the 3rd stew position and take the promotion to chef, she gave up the 3rd stew option. If she isn’t cutting it as the chef, then she needs to go, since they don’t need another 3rd stew. She took a risk.

      Interesting. Here is her author bio on Amazon. “June N. Foster is a world traveler, humanitarian, volunteer, and conservationist. She is also a yoga instructor and deckhand in the yachting industry. This is the first book in a series dedicated to humanitarian efforts and the preservation of the world’s natural resources for future generations.” There are only a handful of reviews but most of them are good.

      I think her bad stew edit my be complete fabrication. Although she did say she was more of a deckhand than a stew. Maybe no one gets fired. Maybe she moves on to the deck. Anastasia moves to 3rd stew. Ben cooks for the last couple of episodes.

      Or maybe JACK gets fired from the deck. They keep showing us how worthless he is and how Captain Sandy dislikes him.

    Blessings and good vibes going out to Dalia Mama!! I think Damon’s wife was trashy. Talking like some kind of gangster. SHE runs the boat. Its HER boat. I would have slapped her hand away as well. Girl, Bye! None of them had any class.Whats up with Hannah always rolling her eyes at June and how many times does she need to ask if she has a boyfriend? I think Hannah is jelly of June. June…Wake up! I think that girl brought a whole host of problems with her. I am kind of tired seeing Aesha and Jacks tongue all over the other. The work place is not the place for that.. Anastasia needs LOTS of compliments and atta girls or she can’t function. She saved the charter but she’s ain’t saving the season. Get over yourself! ahhhh, that felt good!

      Karen I agree about June bringing a host of problems with her. I have this whole scenario about June because she’s very evasive, while I agree with her 100% about it not being anyone’s business. She won’t/doesn’t talk about her “boyfriend” that she says she has. Wouldn’t it be bizarre if she was pregnant and didn’t want the boyfriend to find out so she took a job as a yachtee? There goes my over active imagination but that’s what popped in my mind when she got sick. She also is always tired. . . hmmm. Oops there I go again LOL! I have not read anything that indicates this, it’s just something I thought of.

    TT- thanks for the info on June. When production takes it upon themselves to edit the content of the show to create an image of the cast member whether correct or not, does that cast member know and agree to how they will be viewed?

    Show is very good this season (ditto to T). Some of this has to be scripted – there is no way the chef girl got such a fat head in three episodes – is there?

    I am pro Aesha and Jack – they are so cute ?

    Trevor does need time to sleep – he is working double duty.

    June – listen for your name girl! You are not looking very smart.

    Due to all the others bad behavior Hannah and Joao are having a really nice edit.

    The reality show participants have no control over their edit. They sign their lives away. They can make them look as dumb, lazy, slutty, mean, racist, rude, or incompetent as they like. They sign away all rights to sue production or Bravo. It’s insane.

    Johnny Damon, his wife and guests were total dicks. Blame editing all you want, but they said what they said on camera…it’s not like editing changed their talking or behavior with the magic of editing. I get that they expected a 5 star chef on the super motor yacht, and that didn’t happen…but so many comments were rude, entitled, and down right wrong. Not the worst guests ever on BD show but certainly running a close second. If Johnny Damon wanted to PAY for a 5 star yachting experience, maybe he should have actually booked one, rather than looking to be the fame whore he and his group proved themselves to be on this trip!

      Depends on how long you have been on and what your position is. However the deckhands and stews don’t have to be paid much at all. They all just want to be on the show. Captains, Bosuns, Head Stews (AKA people with actual experience are paid fairly well. PLUS they all get tons of money in tips.

    I keep hearing Hannah say, “chin chin Hannah.”. I think at first she is toasting someone!
    It is either June or Anastasia who is leaving, the previews showed Capt Sandy saying that the position is redundant and so she will have to let them go, so I am assuming it is June if Anastasia moves back to 3rd stew or Anastasia if Ben comes back. Anastasia is a cook, not a chef, and boo Johnny Damon! (NY’er here)

    Johnny’s wife was horrible. She is that type that talks smack and then expects someone else to fight her battle. That whole situation could have been dealt with better and avoided. As for Johnny how hot do you want your damn food?! He probably does that at restaurants as well. I didn’t understand why Hannah and crew didn’t serve breakfast and Anastasia was expected too, the crew normally takes the food order also (wth). Lastly I didn’t understand why the charters didn’t want lunch but were complaining that they were starving.
