Oh hey, it’s me Tamara, filling in once again for this Below Deck Med Recap! The thing is that I watched the show very late last night and then deleted it. So this should be an interesting adventure for all of us. We all know I can’t remember anything.
So we started with a crying June. Getting fired is never fun. I really thought they would fire Jack and move June to the deck crew. Problem solved. But Captain Sandy wants June gone. Out on deck, Colin is also crying. He doesn’t really want to be there anymore. He’s been looking for a way out. Now he can go out as a martyr. So off he goes to tell Sandy he wants to leave so that June could stay.
So, YAY! Everyone is happy! Nope Captain Sandy has said her last, “June, June, Sandy!” She tells Collie Wollie that the deck crew is perfect and she can’t afford to lose him. Captain Sandy is such a party pooper. She seems like a gay woman who hates women. I’ve never seen this particular dichotomy before. Her perfect deck crew has Travis the perpetual drunk and Jack who works really hard at not doing any work at all. But she can’t have June take one of those spots?

Hannah moves Jack in with Aesha so they can hook up. But Aesha said something about not needing a penis because she has hands. Or something. I was reading online about possible far away lands I could flee to. Ben will room with Travis. Travis will miss Jack’s dick. Apparently they had some sort of late night dick measuring contests which are none of our business.
The Charter Guests
Hmmm what do I remember about the charter guests? They are a bunch of cougars who never want to be without a strong drink in their hands. I could probably hang with this group. Except they have an obsession with Travis because one of his parents is Canadian. I think one of the guests is Canadian or something and wants to take Travis home as her souvenir from the trip. That’s some pretty piss poor picking, lady. Even Hannah is disgusted with him and she’s not the least bit picky.
There was some ridiculous production interference where Anastasia is suddenly unable to do the job of third stew. Meanwhile, Ben doesn’t know where anything is in the kitchen. He’s using provisions he didn’t order. And the kitchen only has two functioning burners. And the production story about “this food isn’t hot enough” continues.

Oh and at the very end, the perfect deck crew Captain Sandy loves so much managed to lose the the tender and some random boat had to return it to them. They didn’t even know it was missing.
I’m sure I forgot some stuff. But this will have to suffice. Apologies. I think I will go back to doing the Below Deck Med Recaps from here on out. There are three episodes left.
Pretty decent summation. The whole episode felt like a filler to get between Ben’s arrival and next week’s episode, where it looks like things really go tits up. Also, I am just never a fan of a group of drunk women sexually harassing men. I thought it was disgusting when the RHONY ladies did it (e.g. Sonja forcibly grabbing a man’ face and trying to kiss him).
Yea, I told my husband if that had been men acting like the women shit would hit the fan.
Low moment: Those women last night make us, as women, look bad. If it were a group of men talking about women that way – I’d have a few choice words for them.
High moment: BEN!!!
TT, you tend to come off as a whiner/complainer when many people, including myself, would die to get paid to recap. If I could get paid, I would gladly record shows three, four times.
If you need someone to help recap, who has snark, please
Allow me to audition… myself! I’d love to have your job. I work a miserable 9-5.
ALSO… I can bring a recap of Million Dollar Listing to the table and I don’t see other sites doing this.
Also, ALSO, I’m a 90 day fiancé all way expert. Please call on me if you need assistance.
Wow. Your job seeking skills are amazing. You seem like a joy to work with. And when I say joy, cunt is clearly what I mean.
This is apparently the THIRD seat this bitch has gotten in the WLS. So I IP banned her. Sorry to Littleton Colorado readers who may be effected.
Hope Jess is gone for good. 3 times and you are out!
Wow she works a miserable 9-5. How shocking. With them interpersonal skills and charm?! To be honest your recaps Tamara have a flare no one has yet come close to replicating.
Kind of a shit for brains move asking someone for a job by leading w/an insult.
I enjoy the snarkiness here myself. I just like real people. Can’t stand fake. I’d rather someone say what they feel/think and be authentic than be fake or up someone’s ass. It’s why I like it here.
Bless her heart.
Jess. I am not trying to be mean, but when you “apply” for a job as a writer, you may want to set a positive tone with your first sentence. The way you started is akin to showing up for a job interview wearing a dirty tube top and flip flops, then presenting a stellar resume. The first impression overrides the resume.
Well, that was a first for me – I’ve never seen nor heard of asking someone for a job by actually being an entitled bitch and insulting the employer first! I don’t know who taught you that trick, but it is a but I would not ever do that ever again in the future. TT is not a whiner nor a complainer – she has real life problems in life, just like we all do, and I, for one, am grateful that she gives us glimpses into what is going on in her life, whether it be a funny story, struggling times, or just discussing wine, food, and fashion. In an odd way, it reminds me of a group of women friends sitting around a table snacking or eating dinner or just all cozy’ed up in a nice living room, just discussing our days and our lives – this blog is priceless and unlique. Adios, you idiot – we won’t miss ya.
THIS!!!
Please, please, please recap this show for us. I love the show and I enjoy reading the recaps and the comments that usually highlight something I’ve missed! I agree the cold food story line seems so forced – but that galley is terrible. Seems like a rather second rate kitchen that’s supposed to crank out 5 star food. Fix the damn burners for God’s sake!
Jess- delusional party of one. TT’s shoes are unfillable.
Well that and there is noooo pay, just us adoring readers and commenters. While We are invaluable, that doesn’t pay the bills of some window licking reject.
My problem w/the food temp on this episode is when Ben asked Hannah if they were liking the food she said they were all so drunk you couldn’t really tell or something to that effect. Then, Sandy went and asked how the food was and the woman she asked had to taste it to even respond. The food had been sitting there. They were all drunk talking over each other…their vacay do what they want…but, the food might not have been cold had they started eating when it was served. The whole food temp issue last night did seem staged.
Agree 100%.
When Sandy tasted the food at the table, did she take a bite using the charter guests used fork? YUCK! I’m hoping I saw that wrong…
When you are drunk and think what you have to say is so important that you don’t shut up to taste it when it is served, don’t be shocked that it is cold.
Do they not have any of the stainless steel cloches on board to cover plates and keep food warm until it is served?! This storyline is tired.
I despise this set of charter guests. They are the definition of money can’t buy you class. Feels like they are auditioning to be their own HW franchise.
When you have an actual chef, a decent on the fly fill in cook and whatever the Hell Mila was pretending are ALL having food temp issues, then perhaps it is the interior that has issues…and not the kitchen.
On a side note, those women were gross and inappropriate. If guys were doing all that, people would be calling for the show to be cancelled. Then again, I just don’t get the point of Girls Trips. They are just booze soaked screeching and bad choices.
I’ve been on a few Girl Trips. Not really my thing, but we were nothing like these Charter guests. A little drinking here and there, but no screeching. Or talking over each other. Never would make demeaning remarks about men either. I found the women to be almost unwatchable.
Question: why did she have to be fired??
Not enough room on the boat once Ben arrived. Also like TT said Captain Sandy never was a real fan of June
Her position was “redundant.” No need nor room for two third stews. Not to mention, June, June, Sandy.
I was anticipating Ben coming in and walking on water in the kitchen. TWO faulty induction burners! No wonder Anastasia had problems getting the food out; editing made it look like she lacked the skill. I have TWO portable induction burners and I am POOR. On a ritzy yacht, if fixing the main cooktop is a problem, they need two portables. I love Ben’s laugh. I thought he and Ems were still together. 💔
Those women … they sit there and rip men and talk about what pigs they are and then emulate the disgusting piggy behavior. WTF? Equal opportunity = equal accountability. #timesupbitches
Totally agree with you. I don’t like how they made Anastasia look so bad regarding the temperature of the meals. Glad Ben made a point at talking about the burners. I hope she keeps pursuing being a chef.
June never answered her radio. Not surprised Sandy didn’t find a way to keep her. Those ladies were disgusting. Made middle aged women look cheap and desperate. I’m just watching a marathon for Season 1. Why did they replace the male captain I don’t remember his name with Sandy? He was bald really cool temperament. Stayed out of the crew’s personal business.
That was Capt. Mark. Not sure why they replaced him w/Sandy.
One of the last remaining Bravo shows I watch – and I did feel badly for Poor June. Last one in, first one out. June, whom ever your boyfriend was that was jerking you around, there is a Much BETTER option standing right in front of you – Colin. All around good guy and now also a white knight.
I burst out laughing when Travis was doing his “Wild Kingdom” commentary on Joao the Zimbobwean in his natural habitat.
Me too. I actually had to watch it several times.
I love the Below Deck recaps regardless of who writes them! You and Dalai Mama both sparkle.
That said, I do hope all is well with Dalai Mama.
I echo this. I enjoy the heck out of both of you writers. I liked that DalaiMama recapping BD Med was giving you a well-deserved break. There are days, make that WEEKS, when it looks as if you have NO days off.
I hope all is well with both of you and your little dog too.
Sorry I am probably the only one who will not miss June. She was horrible at her job.
What’s gotten a hold of Hannah? Mr. Hand? Ooh Noooooo! Here comes Mr. Bill’s dog.
