Twas the night before the night before Christmas…and a very dark and stormy night. So of course what we all need is a trip to Thailand, Thailand, where everyone gets a baby elephant, right? Well, true or not, this is Below Deck recap will have double the misogyny and double the drama! So let’s just do it!
Kevin in an act of genius (or as told by production) is grilling a meal with no working exhaust fan on the boat. Even, worse… he’s grilling fish. I love fish. I love grilled fish. But, I don’t want to be smelling fish on a chartered yacht in Thailand.
Meanwhile on the deck, the dick hands are complaining about Rhylee’s knot tying. Let the misogyny begin!
Men (and Women) In Black
Somehow, Kevin manages to knock it out of the park with his lunch despite the smoke filled kitchen. Everyone loves it, even Master Pearson, the star of the past two episodes. But even easygoing young Pearson is not happy with the super hot weather in Thailand. Pearson is a brave little boy who goes right down the water slide right into the Pacific Ocean.

After a bit of dickheadishness by the dick hands toward Rhylee, it’s time to move on to dinner. Apparently, a lot goes down during shore leave for the crew so we have to move on quickly. Captain Lee is wearing a tux to dinner with the guests to try to salvage the tip. Everyone on the crew is in their blacks. It’s a 1920s themed party. These are always ridiculously inaccurate.
The Bowline Knot
Ashton has Rhylee and Tanner practice tying bowline knots during dinner service. I’m pretty sure this is one of the first knots people learn to tie and that this whole scene is bullshit. I am pretty sure I learned this in Girl Scouts. Ashton quickly starts screaming about Rhylee and her bad attitude. This is a common theme with Ashton. Rhylee has a bad attitude. Kate has a bad attitude. This could be a training tool for misogynistic behavior in the workplace. The next day Tanner and Brian trash Rhylee all day.

TRAVESTY! Master Pearson is denied dessert because he is cranky. He is cranky because he had a long day and dinner is at O’Dark Thirty every dayum night. He’s a perfect little boy! Lighten up!
More Dickish Behavior
Tanner continues running his mouth about his relationship with Simone. He wants to make it clear he wants nothing to do with her after the show charter. Pretty much none of these relationships last. But it is not necessary to keep telling the entire crew he is only using Simone for sex. Kate basically calls him a dick but he’s to much of a dick to notice.
Out on deck, Ashton and Brian continue to bash Rhylee. Brian says he is all in to do the last two charters without Rhylee. The guests leave and they had a great time despite missing the beach trip. I was expecting a much bigger fuel boat. Everyone whines over making $1,500 for two days work.

Ashton calls his mom and says he is behaving himself. LIES. Before shore leave Tanner plans to dump Simone. They meet for beers on the deck. Tanner says he thinks they are on two different wavelengths. Simone disagrees. Then he basically says he want to spend the last two weeks in Thailand fucking whatever he can get. I hope he gets herpes. Simone says she’s perfectly fine with that. Tanner seems mystified as to why she is not groveling for his drunk ass. Brian takes a very grumpy and self-involved off the boat for a short date. She is such a navel-gazer. She whined the whole date.
Phuket! Let’s Go To Patong Beach
If we have to go to another ping pong show, I am not ready. We just did that with the Dallas bitches. Instead we are going to a crazy nightclub where Courtney resumes her whining and complaining. Simone has dressed to impress Tanner while living her best life on the dance floor with other guys. Kate points out to him that she is the hottest girl on the dance floor. Tanner tells Kate he has been wanting to hook up with her all season. She calls him a child.

The dickheads get extremely wasted and once again dance on a stage they were not invited on. One of them does THE WORM. Is it the 80s again? Because I’m too old to live through that decade a second time.
Don’t Make Me Turn This Car Around!
All of the guys are shitfaced when they get back to the van and Ashton once again sexually assaults Kate with his tongue. Then Tanner asks if he can kiss Kate. She says no. At least he listened. As things really get rolling (It’s a very long taxi ride) Ashton starts making comments about wanting Kate on his face. Then he denies the numerous sexual assaults and says, “You should be so lucky, and I should be so drunk.” What a steaming pile of shit this one is.

Conversation turns to Tanner and his mom who must be so thrilled watching this season of her son. After a few jokes about how Tanner’s mom is just home hoping he hasn’t gotten anyone pregnant. Kate asks what else there is to talk about other than Tanner’s mom. She asks Ashton what is going on with his mom. And that is when Ashton lost his shit. Ashton continuously tries to get into the back seat where Kate is cowering in a corner to attack her. Then he starts punching the inside of the van. Tanner somehow gets Ashton to chill out. And for some reason Kate gave Tanner a quick smooch. Jiminy Cricket!
Back on the boat, drunk off his ass Ashton goes to the galley with Kevin searching for food. They damn near burn the kitchen down. Kate goes to investigate the smoke. Ashton and Kate get into it. She tries to explain that his response to her asking about his mom was way out of line. Ashton starts lecturing her and pulls out his housewife finger. He says that his crew makes fun of Tanner’s mom every day. That is his crew and she needs to butt out of managing it. Kate says she didn’t know that making fun of Tanner’s mother was a crew management style.

Ashton calls Kate “fucking Miss Big Bitch Boots.” He drags drunk Tanner out of bed. At this point the entire crew is listening. You cannot tell me Captain Lee cannot hear this. Ashton is screaming utter drunken nonsense at Kate. He really seemed to be intimidated by her authority. Then he says that she thinks she is better than the rest of the crew. Um, GUESS WHAT, DICK HAND? She is better than the rest of the crew. At least this shit season. Then Tanner says she gets away with more than everyone else. YES SHE DOES, pissant season one misogynistic deckhand. Yes she fucking does. AND?
I Quit!
Then Ashton says that the entire crew feels that way about her. Kate says, “Okay great. Go find another chief stew. I quit.
Rhylee tries to stop Kate from leaving. Kate says she can’t stay in this environment and she would like to leave. Kate asks production to give her her phone and her passport. She wants a hotel room and a plane ticket. She grabs a bag and leaves with production in her wake.
I generally like Kate, but WTF is up with her hair? Always with the two inches of black roots, can’t she do a box root touch up between her regular stylist visits?
I would have whooped Ashton’s ass. I have few times in my past dragged a boy by his ear out the door. I cannot stand a disrespectful man.
I have a feeling Ashton is the one who gets fired. I didn’t like him last season and still don’t. Tanner is the biggest DICK. Unless we are missing something (edits) Simone was cool with keeping it casual. Pencil DICK is full of himself. His mother has to be real proud of her douche bag son.
Agree with everything you said. I have two very young boys, but I know they will never act like that or talk like that. My mom gave me the best advice, ” your children will imitate you, so act right”. I behave like a nice, well informed ( ha ha) grown up woman.
I would have tossed every dude off the boat by their ear. All the men are awful, hopefully someone saves them.
From a big picture perspective, Ashton likely would not be on TV doing this job had Kate not joined the cast back in season 2, so his comments are super silly. The show has a great premise and transitory characters that Kate has definitely benefited from it, but can you imagine 7 successful seasons with a personality like Adrienne (the first chief stew)? I enjoy Kate’s persona on below deck and find her a ton more entertaining than hannah (below deck med is just too tense for me to enjoy).
I think others have said this, but Kate was pushing buttons (she does not placate! I love it!) Because ashton was a being a dick and that’s how she defends herself. I do wonder how much of this conflict is production – how can someone try to kiss and start to physically attack a co-worker and it not be fired? Especially with a “series regular.” It just makes me think that there is way more unacceptable stuff that happens (a la the survivor sexual harassment) so this just didn’t seem to register as an offence. It’s like below deck is FINALLY having a metoo moment.
My jaundiced eye sees most everything as production. I’ve never been a Kate fan. But you don’t have to be a fan to hear a woman say a man has inappropriately stuck his tongue down her throat unwanted, NOW WITH VIDEO EVIDENCE (though I would have believed her without it) to know that very drunk castmembers in a van is a real scene. Kate has said IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES.
We have seen lots of crap from them over the years.
51 minds once hired a guy on dating show that ended up being a killer. They don’t have the best vetting rules… to say the least.
I’m unsure why Captain Lee didn’t rush in like Captain SAVE A HO though. It’s his boat. He was there. He has to know when production is still going. ESPECIALLY when PRODUCTION freaks out after Kate has had enough. I am hoping that next week emerges and ALL HELL REIGNS DOWN.
But the fourth time THAT 51 MINDS KNEW ABOUT IT AND THEIR AUDACITY UNDER THEIR PAST CIRCUMSTANCES DID DO SHIT.
51 Minds needs 51 Tickets home.
I am also flabbergasted that all this went down given Kate’s heavy involvement with a women’s domestic violence non profit AND whatever transpired between her and her ex girlfriend that led to said non profit involvement.
WTF
Caroline was definitely a poor fit – production should have caught that a mile away.
I now hope the editors knew they had material in which the “boys” looked reeeaallly bad and definitely leaned into it (too much) for the drama factor. Like ashton has fully been hoist with his own petard. It’s a shame he didn’t research Nico’s below deck trajectory because he’s on it!
All I got to say is Ashton is fucking scary drunk.
I fail to understand how asking someone how their mom is doing is such a trigger for such rage. I think my jaw literally dropped. I had no clue that teasing Tanner about his mom was a running joke, and I bet Kate didn’t either b/c not only does she not work side by side with them she doesn’t FILM with them until these brief hours or days between charters. She has less exposure to them than WE do watching.
I felt so badly for her – she’s said in After Deck that she didn’t want to say anything b/c she didn’t want to put Lee in the position of being seen as playing favorites. This woman is STRONG. She was close to losing it when Rhylee was trying to convince her to wait, and Kate turned her back to the camera and just said again she wanted to leave. Her voice sounded shaky and her shoulders kind of collapsed in on itself. You KNOW she has Lee’s cell… she could have texted him or called him or gone up there at any time when she was being attacked by those 3 assholes. I was a little disappointed in the other girls. I know Ashton was drunk as fuck and you don’t argue with a drunk… but I would have been jumping out of my bunk and saying “You don’t speak for me asshole… “no one likes you, Kate?” fuck you.
But then, even though I’ve been described as the staff cheerleader in the past – when I get pissed, I GET PISSED. I also hate misogynistic assholes.
Production only gives them their phones for brief periods of time. She asked for her phone, her passport, a hotel room and a ticket home when she left.
Oh, I know.. but I was surprised she didn’t want to contact Capt after she got her phone. I guess I was assuming that he gets to keep his in his cabin which is never filmed.
I like Kate. She is an excellent shade thrower. She is almost as good as Bethany was at 38 yr old old. Kate pulled a boss move by quitting. When ever someone quits mid charter it screws up the operations. When the chief stew quits its a disaster. Everyone else in the crew are complete fugg ups. Once they sober up they will realized they are in a pickle.
This group of men make the Southern Charm cast look like perfectly behaved well bred & mannered gentlemen. Absolutely hate this cast. Would rather watch Kate & Capt. Lee doing anything than to have to bear these beastly boys.
Well Haymaker sucks too. It’s all about the fucked up production companies they pick.
Wow, drunk Ashton was scary in the van! I’m glad there were other people with Kate. As much as I don’t like Kevin or Tanner, at least they stepped up and contained Ashton so he couldn’t physically hurt Kate. It felt a little to me like Kate was throwing shade when she asked about Ashton’s mother (there’s probably some back story we don’t fully know), but maybe not. But whether she was or not, Ashton’s response was way out of line.
On previous episodes and earlier in this episode, we heard the deck guys say, “Oh, Tan!” in imitation of his mother. I thought it was funny.
Instead of just complaining about Rhylee’s bowline knots, why didn’t Ashton just politely show her the proper way to tie them?
I was disappointed in Courtney this episode, for reverting to her earlier whiny, complaining ways. And just when I had been liking her the best (last week).
The Bowline shit was all production bullshit. A ten year old can tie a bowline.
I thought the same thing… something is up it’s Ashtons mom & Kate knows… I don’t like anyone on this boat. Rhylee is my least favorite. I worked with enough people who think they know it all but don’t know shit! Merry Christmas everyone!
Ashton is bat shit crazy and his bitter misogyny is dangerous. The way he physically threatened Kate was terrifying. He deserves to lose his damn job. He sucks at it anyway. He’s a horrible leader.
The production company, 51 Minds is also responsible for this shit. Yet Bravo still hires them.

If y’all haven’t clicked the link above, do it! I remember when that happened and it is some scary shit!
Ashton’s finest moment was his near-death experience last season. He garnered a lot of sympathy. HE WAS AN IDIOT! I did not feel bad for him at all. I kept thinking about the camera guy who rescued him and WHAT HE PUT CAPT. LEE THROUGH. He had Dickinson qualities last season and they are blooming now. I hope he is FIRED next week.
Now,now, Nanette, clearly Ashton’s near fatal mistake as make him the automatic bosun for next season….Let’s almost kill more people!
Why stop at “almost” when we can get more ratings with the real deal. Gladiators wearing She by Sheree drunk in Vanderpump rose. THAT I would watch. The
I totally agree with both of you. Nanette you always make me laugh even though I’m super mad after this last straw episode. So now yet ANOTHER Bravo show down the shitter…
Nanette, I need you to switch back to the BraNo avatar! Or post instructions again for permission for me to use it, lol!
Anywho, hope you both have a Merry Christmas and I hope you are on the mend soon, TT!
I agree with everyone about Ashton. If he isn’t disciplined next episode, I’ll be sorely disappointed in Captain Lee.
On another note, I couldn’t hang with Courtney. Ironically during a job in Thailand, she revealed she’s a brat that needs to be immersed outside of her comfort zone. I’m not sure sure if it was her white privilege or racism, but she made a few comments that made me jump back in shock at her cultural insensitivity.
1) On her self absorbed date, I got the sense of elitism when she told Brian that champagne doesn’t exist in Thailand. WTF? Thai people don’t drink champagne?
Wasn’t she serving Mimosas on the boat?
2) Her tone was condescending when she thanked the Uber driver for not killing them. Yet Simone who was in the same car, praised the driver and rated him 5 stars.
3) It seemed elitist that way she said she didn’t want to leave the club because it was scary outside and she didn’t want to be in a cab alone in the middle of Thailand. I’m sure she would have had at least one escort from production.
I wouldn’t have gotten through the season without putting Courthey in her place and schooling her about how foul she comes across.
I don’t particularly care for Courtney but I don’t think she’s racist. I find her to be really self absorbed and in order for her to be racist she would have to think and care about other people one way or the other. I don’t think that’s her deal. I think she can be kind of snotty and entitled but not racist. I think she’d just as happily marry a wealthy man of any ethnicity as easily as she’d marry a wealthy white man. Honestly, I think wealthy is the really important part.
I do know in Thailand champagne is quite expensive and not easily found. Mainly only in fine dining type experiences. Not like the states where you can get a cheap glass in almost any bar. The traffic is crazy over there, so maybe something happened in the uber on the way there? I too noticed how both she and Simone went out of their way to thank the driver so who knows. I don’t think it was that bad she didn’t want to leave by herself. Maybe production wouldn’t send someone with her? Who knows but she definitely said she didn’t want to go in the first place. I don’t think I’d feel super comfortable wandering around donkey shows etc by myself but, I’ve never been to that area so I don’t know maybe it’s totally safe… she does sound snotty and bratty often. But I don’t think racist. Just my opinion anyway.
Champagne is easy to find in Thailand. You can get any kind of alcohol there. There are a lot of ex-pats there.
Maybe in some parts in Thailand it’s hard to find, definitely not in Bangkok and Pattaya.
Interesting. My best friend and her mom just got back from there, not even two weeks ago, and mentioned something about how much of a pain it was outside of their hotel. Maybe they just looked at the wrong places? They’re lucky enough to be well to do women who can travel at whim. Wish I was! Anyway, they loved it, gave the elephants baths too!
The big grocery stores carried champagne. I saw it on a few menus and the expensive restaurants.
Courtney is such a snob that I think she was talking about how “champagne” is from an actual region/City in France that is called Champagne. Anything else is called “sparkling wine” as she says to Brian. So what they have in Thailand is technically “not champagne” or as Courtney put it, “it doesn’t exist” in Thailand. Because they only have “sparkling wine” (which we learn is what ruined her drink for her. “This isn’t Champagne, it’s sparkling wine” she says as she pushes her drink away in disgust.)
That’s not accurate. She wanted a Negroni made with wine instead of the gin that is typical in a Negroni. The Negroni they brought her was made with gin and not wine as she ordered. She was however rude on her date. Even if she was tired, she should have been a better date (or not gone at all).
Ashton posted a video on his IG just a bit ago. After an insincere AF apology, he added: ‘l am sorry I tried to kiss you, Kate. I meant no disrespect when I did it. I am sorry you found it insulting’. The little prick just basically negated the act of rape as long as the guy just really wanted to fuck that chick. Jesus.
I have a feeling that more than a few of us are disturbed by Ashton’s behavior. The misogyny is one thing, but the actual threat of harm is another. I’ve dealt with many assholes because of working in a mostly male workspace, but never that level of abuse. Production sucks for apparently welcoming this.
I will now get off my high horse.
If that’s a high horse, help me up on it. He’s a bad guy (they’re all d-bags actually) and production are mother fuckers for not stepping in. One more Bravo show I’m gonna have to boycott. Seeing a pattern here and I cannot in good faith support it.
And “Smashton” bitching about how he can’t get his dick sucked… maybe it’s because he’s a scary alcoholic. What are they waiting for? Him to actually r*pe and beat someone on camera? The whole lot of them are pigs. I. Just. Can’t.
Ashton should have been the one leaving the boat last night not Kate. His behavior was dangerous and illegal.
After bailing on all the Housewives I was hoping Below Deck would have been my fav show…this episode was horrific to watch and I’m guessing this is the end of Bravo for me.
Same.
I’ve bailed on most of them too. I used to like Below Deck, and still love Project Runway. I can’t stomach the NJ or OC housewives anymore. I used to like the NY housewives. Still read the blogs, though.
For me too, can’t continue with a network that supports and encourages violent sexual predators such as the whey faced Pienaar. VERY disappointed that Capt. Lee hasn’t already fired Ashton AND Kevin. The cook, who calls himself a chef, is much less like man than he is a bitchy little 6th grade girl. If he spent half as much time trying to produce edible fare instead of fruitlessly attempting to compete with Kate, he might actually have fans other than his female relatives or his fellow misogynists.
I’m just surprised that Ashton made himself look like more of a asshole than Joao.
Heck, Joao would be my Prince Charming any day if I had to choose. In addition, don’t forget Asston, you were also caught on camera grabbing Courtney’s A$$ earlier In the season. Simone’s comment being the Chief Stew had me ROTFLMAO. In closing, the verbal and emotional abuse was/is so disturbing to me. To take a t.v. show like Below Deck, {that we all tuned in to watch} and tear it apart piece by piece is horrible. I tuned into Below Deck to watch a show that made my laugh, cry {I laughed until I cried or peed a little} and be a little irritated at {that 1 hour goes by to fast}. I didn’t tune in to Jersey Shore. Have a great New Year’s y’all…….
I am horrified that Bravo and their parent company NBC/Universal have chosen to air programs implicitly condoning sexual assault. This is the second time Ashton has sexually assaulted Kate, this time with the addition of threatening her with physical harm; and the camera people and producers just stood by. From the responses on the aftershow it seems that there will not be repercussions for Ashton. I am truly shocked that after everything, NBC/Universal would wish to be seen to sanction this sort of behavior. I am contacting them to express my outrage and I urge all of you to do the same. Do we want our sons to think it acceptable to shove their tongue down people’s throats unasked and when rejected to threaten physical harm? Does NBC/Universal really wish to encourage this sort of behavior? You’d think they’d have enough of this sort of legal trouble.
Yeah you’d think that they would have something in place regarding sexual harassment and assault after their own legal problems. I thought the same thing about CBS, then watched it happen on an edited show and they didn’t do any better.
Kind of makes me think of those commercials for starving children and dogs where you think to yourself ‘hmmm if the camera person is that close, you’d think they could toss them a sandwich or some kibble.’
Sorry for the comparison but it feels like women are still being treated like dogs or helpless children and it’s almost 2020.
Capt. Lee said Ashton was skating on thin ice. I hope that window he punched last night, cracked along with that ice. Dare say the Capt. wouldn’t be pleased with a call from the people with Uber. Ashtons an Asshat!
Smashton needs to be cancelled. Kate’s hair has its own storyline. And captain lee pulling out the ol tux cracked me up. Also just my two cents but all of these guys are the definition of fuck boys! Kate is a seasoned cast member but the car scene with Aston getting physical crossed the line and I’m very disappointed this was allowed to happen. However i guess bravo sees it and all the misogyny shown as an opportunity to show the world what women deal with everyday.. for that I guess I am grateful. But we see it constantly on tv and things are changing slower then a sloth eats so…
After watching some of the aftershows IMO the crew seems to feel a bit salty that Kate gets away with more because of her tenure with the show and that she takes advantage of it. Maybe so but Kate has been on that show for awhile and Kate and Capt Lee are pretty much the faces of the show, like it or not. They have been the constant crew members while the others come and go. They promote the show a lot, going to events and live tweeting, going on podcasts and such. They have been an asset to the show and so has their relationship. To make comments like she’s
older and they are young new bucks may be true but guess what honeys, you all have a shelf life.
Ashton was wrong and whatever Kate meant with her comment did not warrant that kind of outburst. These stews aren’t there to entertain you or sleep with you and the fact that Ashton can’t seem to close the deal with anyone seems to bring out the worst in him, plus the massive alcohol intake.
I think Tanner thought Simone was going to crumple up and die when he blew her off and was put out that she didn’t. You’re not that great Tanner and certainly not worth any tears.
I read a comment the Courtney is being an elitist by not wanting to cruise around Thailand by herself. I have never been to Thailand but I have been to cities in other countries where I was told not to go out at night by myself. Why should she put herself at risk? It seemed smart to me. Hanging around donkey shows and strip clubs with a bunch of drunken horny tourists is not somewhere an attractive young woman should be walking around alone. Hell a cab ride with three drunken crew members wasn’t safe either.
“I read a comment the Courtney is being an elitist by not wanting to cruise around Thailand by herself.

Courtney WISHES she were an elitist. She’s a spoiled brat is completely clueless that others exist. If you notice on shore leave Kate was hanging out with Rhylee and Simone. NOT the one who is all about herself all the time and bitches about having to serve people just so she could get on TV.
Twice I was by myself in the red light district in Pattaya and felt totally safe. But then again I don’t look like Courtney (young and blond). A cameraman would of went with her anyway unless production told her she had to stay with the group.
I’ve never been to Pattaya but my friend and I traveled around in Thailand and got robbed on a combo bus/ferry situation. Someone stowed away under the bus and went through the luggage. Stole my friends iPhone and some credit cards. It’s not racist to be a cautious traveler. Tourists get preyed on in lots of places.
In terms of their tenure on the show, both Kate and Lee had paid their dues in the industry well before tv crews showed up. IMO, this is a common problem with young people today… thinking that they are equally qualified as the older people in many industries. No you are not…there is a lot to be said for having experience.
It was a crazy episode and I felt very sorry for Kate when they (production) made sure a very drunk Aston was put into The same taxi with her.
Not sure what their angle was with Kevin and Tanner also in the taxi and not one the girls – but thank God they were sober enough to stop him from going any further (which was already way past the limit of safe).
I just looked at a few things on the Bravos site and it doesn’t look like Captain Lee sends Ashton home. Let’s assume Captain Lee was asleep. I cannot imagine that Kate and Lee who are good friends did not discuss what happened. Normally, I would write it all off to production. But Ashton was clearly drunk and CLEARLY assaulted Kate.
Kate and Lee talk all the time.
Le sigh.
If I were Kate, and I was in Thailand and just got sexually assaulted for the FOURTH TIME and I was friends IRL with Captain Lee I would tell him.
I love Captain Lee. I consider him a friend. But I am not buying any of this.
I also just tried to read his blog. It’s VERY hard to navigate. But he basically said it is Christmas so he is not blogging. REALLY?
I am ANGRY just watching the Bravo videos.
“Oh this is news to me” is the new “It’s my boat and I know everything that is happening.” NOPE.
I just spent my morning going down the rabbit hole of watching all the videos on bravo, Lee’s blog, Twitter etc. I’m thinking we have yet to hear the last from him. It’s sounding like he’s waiting for this next episode to air and then he is going all in on Ashton and the dick crew. I’m hoping that this is true. Otherwise, I think I’ll be mad at Captain forever for not dealing with it when it happened. I’m so mad at production that I’m probably going to stop watching this show too. It also sounds like they actually might have a reunion of some sort? I’m watching the OC reunion for closure even though I stopped mid-season. It’s ridiculous that I feel the need for closure before bailing but I feel like I invested years into these shows and it helps me to watch the ending in order to move past them permanently.
Please RETRACT my hopeful comment above. I guess hope springs eternal. But I am now officially boycotting this show along with all Bravo shows as New Year resolution. I’m thoroughly disgusted and disappointed in this entire crew, including Captain Lee. I refuse to support the misogyny channel ever again. I’m OUT!
I will, however, continue to support TT.
Happy New Year to all!
What the hull is going on? There”s no valor in this ship. Hitting below the belt is clearly allowed as the dick hands stand united. Who can untie this circle jerk? Why worry about a knot when you’ve already mastered how to tie one on? Unraveled, is it not?
Excellent play on words TD. I’m just making my way through the last 4 episodes, one down, in the middle of a 2nd, all I got to say right now is these boys are asses.
Can I just say that I loved how Tanner tells Simone he wants to be sure they are “on the same MIND WAVE” and Simone reassures him, “Oh I think we’re both on the same MIND WAVE.”
RME.
They deserve each other.
