It seems like Bravo is trying to mess with our DVR schedules again. They have been doing it with MDLLA, by making it an extra fifteen minutes of the actual show. But, I have a gut feeling that the reason tonight’s episode is an extra half hour of WWHL. Because the second airing is only an hour. This is how they force you to record WWHL whether you want to are not. At any rate, I’m kind of looking forward to this Below Deck Med recap. Mostly, because I am hoping that Pete gets fired and we don’t have to look at him anymore. But also because I spent hours today working on my tax return, and it’s still not done! I had such a sore brain I had to take a break. So let’s hope there isn’t a lot of screaming tonight!
Can I Get A Hand In Here?
We start with Jess and her smashed up hand. She probably has broken at least one finger by smashing it in a door. It’s fractured and in a splint. Not sure how she is going to be able to work.And neither is Sandy. One minute in and Pete is already been disgusting twice. Bugsy tells Malia that Pete is really being disgusting toward her. Malia says that she can take it to Captain Sandy. Captain Sandy calls Pete to the bridge and says she is considering letting him go. But she doesn’t. SIGH. Then, Malia calls him to the bow. Malia fires him as lead deck. Malia gets tough with him! Go Malia! Pete apologizes to Bugsy and that goes well.

The new charter guests already seem very high maintenance. This is going to be a clown festival. Kiko is unhappy that one of the guests is a vegan. I guess he may have to skip the Moqueca on this charter. Speaking of Moqueca, I made some over the weekend and it was delicious until the gremlins sabotaged it. Or something. I still don’t know how the disaster happened. Back to the guests, one of them already wants taste the juices before it is used in his vodka. He hated it. So why didn’t Hannah ask if they had any American juice when she ordered lemons. Kiko insinuates that Hannah needs to watch out for Bugsy after she pointed out the lack of lemons was Hannah’s fault. Well, it was. Then, Bugsy pleases the juice freak with her special homemade blend.
Mushrooms Get Their Own Script From Production
The charter guests are jerks who don’t think the jet ski rules apply to them. I never realized how high the slide is on this boat! That’s a no for me. The vegan seems to want a 12 course snack of vegan food. Bugsy rejected Kiko’s second batch of mushrooms as “too chewy.” Mushrooms are gross no matter how they are made. Party Pete is handling things very well and promises to be Professional Pete from now on. Um, shouldn’t he be professional at work all the time without having to be lectured multiple times and threatened with firing? He does get fired by Bravo though. Because, dickhead.

Dinner is allegedly delayed by the mushroom delivery. I am not buying the mushroom story, or the lemon story. It’s all really scripted. As usual Captain Sandy is play the role of restaurant manager. Speaks of which, she bought an old firehouse on the beach in Florida. She plans to open a restaurant with all “yachtie” servers. This is a really good time to be going into the restaurant business. Especially in Florida. And she has no clue about the restaurant business that I am aware of. It seems there are two vegans. But they love the food. The whole dinner table cheered for Kiko, even if they are a bit fake pissed about being late. Then, they didn’t have enough food. Kiko is beating himself up. This charter got off to a rocky start!
Next week: Rob takes over the role of douchebag. Food and service continues to be an issue. Kiko is heartbroken. The stews are not getting along so Captain Sandy is down Hannah’s throat.
I was watching reruns of this season earlier. For some reason, I thought it was Alex who called himself “The Unit.” It was Pete. I really have come to like Alex and was thinking back how much I disliked him as The Unit. Now that I realize it wasn’t him, I like him even more and Pete even less.
Another thing I missed the first time is my favorite Hannah moment ever. When little Roy III, says “Goodbye horsey” to a horse as they leave the beach picnic, Hannah says, “Goodbyyyye Royyyyy,” in a Mr. Ed horse voice. That little bit convinced me she will be a great mom.
Kiko is one of the best-natured chefs I’ve ever seen. When he was on WWHL, he expressed genuine fondness for Hannah.
Who in the fuck decides to open a restaurant, and start it from the ground up, right now in Florida? Who does Sandy think is going to work there? AND, isn’t her girlfriend very high risk? What in the actual fuck does she think she is doing? This is the stupidest idea to have right now.
OMG, relax.
She just announced that she bought the building & that the restaurant is in its planning stages.
It’s a 100+ year-old building in downtown Jacksonville that clearly needs extensive renovations. This restaurant won’t be opening any time soon.
This pandemic will be over at some point. There’s nothing wrong with planning for the future.
Unless you know, you have no experience in the food industry and you think hovering over the chef on the charter yacht you captain is giving you some magical vision to be a restaurant owner. And no clue how to rennovate a 100 year old building.
But she is already focusing on hiring yacht crew for running the joint even though they want to work on boats…
But yeah, other than that, it make total sense. And the pandemic being over “at some point” doesn’t seem like much of a plan “at this point.” Florida had better vote differently in November if they want to be safe to move around in public ever again.
So, guests get fresh juice in the morning, but none to be had for a cocktail! The lemon thing was BS also- whomever is in charge of the bar should have a standing order. Also, anyone see the plastic lemon in The galley?
TT….good recap…but I wanna hear how the Gremlins destroyed your Moqueca!! Lol. It sounds like a really good dish. 😁👍
That’s why I put a link in the post! WELL I THOUGHT I DID! I don’t know if it is the new (and annoying) laptop, or a WordPress issue…. OR THE GREMLINS! But something is working against me lately.
Dowager Tamara, you DID put a link in the post.
I did after someone asked for the recipe. My entire reason from bringing that up was to add an internal like to my moqueca story. So I felt like I did but clearly it didn’t take. So I went back and updated to post with the link.
Between my low functioning brain, the new laptop with a few keys in THE WRONG PLACE, and WordPress being a bit wonky and eating paragraphs here and there, I’m just glad there are words on the post. 🙂
Sandy needs to take lessons from Buggsy. She stands over them and continues to ask how their food was. They probably feel they should say something bad since she is so concerned. Bugsy asks about the food and says it was good right ? More of a positive vibe. Before I got a chance to change the station I heard Andy ask questions to Rob to see what gave him a stiffy. He is as disgusting as Pete. I need to change the station faster.
I saw that too. You can always count on our beloved Andy pie for the d**k and the pot, his favorite things in the whole world.
I never watch it because he gives me the creeps. They fired all those people but keep him ? That makes no sense. He is disgusting and doesn’t even do decent interviews. I can’t believe the guests put up with that shit.
My take on Sandy is that she LOVES being on camera even more than micromanaging every department. I’ve found myself enjoying Hannah more this season. She’s insecure and instead of admitting weakness she attacks but she seems softer this season. I”m sure her friendship with Kiko helps!
She is very insecure now with Buggsy there.
Sandy is totally trying to get more camera time. It’s so obvious. She mistakenly believes that she’s a fan favorite.
I’m surprised. Hannah is not bothering me at all.
Bugs seems like a real jerk.
Was she seriously complaining about Kiko and the job he is doing?
I think she is way over critical of the work others do.
How did that asshole not bring his own damn juice?
I am not liking the charter guests, they’re high maintenance. Hopefully they get better on the next episode. I felt bad for Kiko having to cook several different types of food (vegan, gluten free and regular). I get that they are paying guest and expect certain things, but still.
Omg these charter awful and that’s saying something. Somehow they are more smug and narcissistic than usual.
I thought the other charter guests were horrible these guy’s are climbing to the number one spot.
c’mon Kiko, a vegan is a challenge not a monster. Pasta, quinoa, faro, tofu, rice, potatoes, tomatoes, indian spices, beans, beets, nuts, onions, eggplant, tacos. I love you but you made a big deal out of a minor inconvenience. I’m kind of turned off from eating mushrooms now. Pete, why you thought that Gross Pete was a better persona that Professional Pete is mind boggling. We will only remember you as Gross. Buggs comment about Hannah and the lemons is hardly what I would consider throwing someone under the bus. Not a memorable episode
I’m not liking Buggs. She’s that irritating teacher’s pet who did everything the teacher wanted perfectly. Hannah can be a hot mess but she’s good tv. Buggs is going to be boring as hell as chief stew. We do watch the show for the comedy and drama not to see busily decorated tables.
