I know I am behind on recaps but tonight a Below Deck Sailing Yacht recap seems like just what the doctor ordered. In between multiple naps today, I laid down on the back stoop for a few minutes and got some sun. It was a really pretty day today. I need to try to get outside every day. But tonight I can at least pretend I am on a yacht in Greece. On the other hand, tonight’s episode seems kind of dramatic. I had the previous episode on in the background and all the ads were infomercially sorts of things. There are not as many people selling ads these days, here or on the telly. Also, I am recording that Camp Getaway show on the second viewing because my DVR is so full. I’ll give it a shot and see what I think. It seems kind of dumb.
A Murder Of Crows
We start the episode with Adam and Jenna having a huge fight at 4 am. These two seem to fight all the time about nothing. Things are tense with them the next morning. Madison is in a pissy mood as well. Paget and Georgia are still overly flirtatious. Georgia and Chris go for a fish pedicure. I kind of want to do that even though it’s not very sanitary. Georgia told Madison that she told the crew about her sister being murdered. Madison is furious. I think Madison just has cabin fever and is reaching her breaking point. And she misses Parker. He was sort of her work person.

Oh wow. On of the guests has stage four cancer and this is sort of her last hurrah and a celebration of life. I’m depressed already. At least Madison and Georgia hug it out. Adam is having a major temper tantrum over nothing. This is why you don’t hook up with crew. If things were not bad enough, a murder of crows sort of attacked the mast. Apparently, this is a bad omen. Sometimes crows will migrate in my hood and will literally cover three or four yards. That scares the shit out of me. Byron also had a nightmare about being on a sinking boat.
Unrequited Love (Notes)
The good news is this charter there is enough wind for sailing right away. The bad news is there may be too much wind. Way too much wind. The boat is practically on its side. I’d be terrified. And sea sick. But Captain Glenn saves the day. But they are not out of the woods yet. The hydraulics are leaking oil all over the deck. Adam’s shrimp looks amazing. It all does. Chris continues to flirt with Georgia. But she is way more into Paget. Jenna tries to placate Adam with a bag of love notes. It doesn’t work.

Jenna blows off service to have a talk with Adam. Because, Jenna. Adam basically says he regrets getting involved with her. Um, duh.
Oh God. I started The Voice while doing all the tech stuff for this post. James Taylor is singing and I can’t see the screen. /sobs Shower the people you love with love. I am such an emotional basketcase.
Hey TT, just checking in to say that I’m thinking of you and pray you and Banjo are well. <3 I wish I was on this sailing yacht!!!! I would be scared as shit, but with enough wine, tequila, and your wit, this trip would EPIC!!!!!
I haven't been posting, but I've been here lurking. You give me a sense of normalcy in this crazy fucking world we are currently all dealing with, and I appreciate you showing up for us. Thank you for being the awesome chick you are. YOU ARE AMAZEBALLS. If there is anything I can do you you, you know how to find me.
Thank you for helping to keep us sane and please stay safe.
Love to you and Banjo! So glad you got some sun. Very good for ya!
I’m here to say that I read every post but don’t comment all the time. Agree with that you are my one routine that hasn’t changed. And if hubby doesn’t stop watching Fox News or Forensic Files, we may be on that damn show! For the love of God, change the channel. At least I stay busy and out of earshot since all I do is clean up after him and the 7 cats, cook meals and sewing masks. Love you TT and yes, get outside more often! Thanks for being here!
Jenna and Adam scheduled for WWHL today. Can’t wait to see what these two yardbirds are up to. I guess the only murder from BDSY so far is the crows. But if those two are in quarantine together …
Adam and Jenna were *scheduled* for WWHL, but apparently it’s going to be Adam and Capt Glenn. Just about to watch it now.
On WWHL, Adam said he and Jenna are no longer together, though he talked to her today.
He said he doesn’t watch the shows (not sure I believe). He regrets fighting with her. He said working as a yacht chef is super stressful, and he never wanted to be in a relationship in the first place because he needs to focus on working in that pressure situation. He said he is over working on boats and wants to have a ranch and a garden so he can grow things and cook them over a fire for people. Can’t do any of that on a boat. He is currently living in his van on a friend’s ranch in Oregon.
He and Jenna spent the first part of the quarantine together, but then she had to go to Canada, and he stayed in the US. He makes it sound like they might reassess their relationship after they are done “treading water”–i.e., trying to stay alive–while the show airs. He doesn’t sound super hopeful about it, but he says they will always have a connection from having gone through something like that together.
Does it look like Captain Glen will have a chat with Jenna next week? I hope he says: Stop Making Adam Crazy, There’s Only One Chef And We Need To Eat.
The camp show was stupid…I couldn’t get into it.
Both Jenna and Adam are too high maintenance for each other. Over her being all googly eyed for him and hi being all dickish about everything. I love Byron and capt Glenn.
Just as I am getting ready to watch it, I my best friend sends a text — “Adam, go blow yourself.”
“But Jenna is a monster too,” I write back.
Can’t wait for WWHL. Maybe he’ll propose. Bwahahaha.
Adam is scary how moody he is. But they argued for two and a half hours? In the middle of the night?
I loved when Capt Glenn said, “Never in the history of calming down has anyone calmed down by being told to calm down.” YES!! That’s the same as telling someone, “You’re behaving inappropriately”–that’s not the way to improve things.
I didn’t remember that Jenna is Canadian but then I only had eyes for Captain Glenn lol. I wouldn’t be shocked if they’re still together. Adam was pretty squirrelly with his answers.
I didn’t hate seeing Captain Glenn on WWHL last night!
Adam is a freaking diva. He is so high maintenance it is ridiculous. He flipped the f out when Jenna didn’t fall at his feet and drop her panties right then when he gave her the flowers that he foraged. It seemed like he was really trying to be romantic, but it is obvious that this stuff doesn’t come naturally to him. He seems like he would be a nightmare as a partner. Jenna obviously wears her heart on her sleeve and is not good about putting her crap aside and do her job. It is obvious that she is called on the carpet on next week’s show because the preview shows Captain Glenn talking about how *the interior fell short on this charter*. And of all the charters not to do well….the one with the lady dying of cancer.
I don’t know what is going on with Paget and Georgia. It is obvious to me that if Ciara wasn’t on board, they would have done the horizontal hula by now.
I figured Adam and Jenna would be doomed for the long run if for no other reason than she is on record telling Georgia to lie to Adam about their mutual boyfriend. (Johan?) That seems like the kind of thing that would make Adam go ballistic. I actually think they’re weirdly well suited for each other IF Adam is suited for anyone long term. I suspect he needs his space way too much to be able to have a lifetime relationship with anyone.
I may be the only person on Adam’s team. Cooking in a regular restaurant kitchen is intense. But if your delivery is short on land, you can send someone to the store or go borrow from your pals at a nearby restaurant. A chef on any yacht is held to the highest standards and Adam had learned the primary was dying and wanted to MAKE IT NICER THAN NICE. He was very clear with Jenna that he didn’t want to rush in to a relationship. She went CRAZY and kept pushing. Yes, he may have overreacted p, but even Capt. Glenn got it. And quid pro quo — flowers, love notes … I think he seemed happy at the ranch. A perfect world would be somewhere on a ranch/farm with a lake nearby if he misses the water.
THE BIG QUESTION: If we could hear the conversation after the “amazing sex,” does production hear DURING sex? Or do the “stars” turn off the mike when they have sex, then turn back on?
Yep production hears all the sex noises. And so do we sometimes.
Jenna definitely annoys me but I personally find Adam’s behavior typical gaslighting. Flirts with her, acts all sweet and cute, wants to couple up at every opportunity, implies that he wants to go “slow” with the sex because he really cares about her…then gets the sex and now it’s like whoa I can’t handle a relationship, you’re acting TOO CRAZY, this is all just too much for me, what is wrong with you?!!!! I was glad to see Georgia and Madison make up, imagine that someone actually apologizing and the other person accepting their apology!
Totally agree. He got way too familiar and cuddly way too quickly. Immediately being physical in a way that a comfortable and established couple would be – the long hugs etc.
Then behaving like him holding back on sex is him being a good guy, yet not being a good guy by getting pissy about her feeling rejected. Totally messing with her head. Using words like psychotic when she’s upset. Completely gaslighting. He’s pretty horrid.
ah, finally finished binge watching the episodes and reading all the recaps. Did I miss the recap on Parker’s resignation? I liked Jenna in the beginning, disliked her because of treatment of the stews and her inappropriate comments about them to Adam, disliked her diva behavior in pushing herself on Adam. Now Adam has her beat in the diva department. It’s his way or it’s his way. Jenna has thoughtful comments about relationships and how it’s important to support each other. I did not think she brought up a taboo subject after their intimacy. Why not have some important discussions after sex, you should be relaxed and comfortable with each other. Where else are they going to have these discussions? Any semblance of Adam being attractive is long gone. He’s disgusting and pathetic. It’s sad. I like Georgia but she’s putting it out there for Paget to bite. I hope he can resist. Ciara is a bit of a mystery. She seems a bit bland, then is all kissy over Georgia and Paget describes her as funny. And hardworking like his mom. Madison is vulnerable, she get jerked around from task to task, Adam is such a jerk to her, Jenna should be a little kinder. It doesn’t take but a few seconds to give Madison a few atta girls. It’s not that you don’t have the time Jenna, it’s that you can be a B. Byron is nice enough, seems like he could be shit stirrer given the chance. He’s definitely living vicariously through the others. Captain Glenn is a nice calm guy to have around. He’s very humble, doesn’t need the lofty Captain salutation to command respect. They are lucky to have Chris come aboard, he seems to bring confidence and stability to the deck crew.
I honestly think Adam has Borderline Personality Disorder. Yes, there are crappy people in this world, but you have to be able to get along with them to some degree or ignore them. I realize that’s not easy to do on a yacht, but I would bet Adam doesn’t get along with most people in his life. When he first mentioned living in his van on one of the former seasons, I thought it was kind of interesting (but not for me), yet now I think he just can’t deal with most people. He doesn’t seem to ever take responsibility for his issues — and he has a ton of issues. I don’t mean to be harsh, but he really needs to do some heavy work on himself. Jenna, too, but her issues don’t seem to be as severe as Adam’s issues.
I like the new guy, Chris. They all seemed to be a little googly-eyed when they first saw his pic on his vitae, but since he shaved off his beard, I guess he’s not as cute. He seems to be super sweet, which I guess is a turn-off for Georgia and Madison? I love how much yachting experience he has, and appears to be a really hard worker. He seems super athletic to me, and I bet he’s fun to hang around with. Probably not dramatic enough to be on reality TV, though.
Every time I see Captain Glenn I think of Harvey Levin. When l look at pics of them side by side I don’t think they really look like, but I’m always reminded of Harvey when I see Glenn. 🙂
