I’m trying to work up a full head of steam to hate watch this crapola for you. Nanette, who has been pulling photos for me claims this episode will be EPIC. Oddly, I am eating “sort of not really nachos” during this Below Deck Med recap. It was not planned. lol. And it’s fucking vegetarian because for some reason I cannot stop buying Amy’s frozen food. There has to be some sort of way more unhealthy option for frozen enchilada meals. Why do I never by the ones with all the bad chemicals in them? They are so much tastier.
Hannah Gets The Shaft
Anyway, so a not to annoy the assholes that keep trying to post that no one wants to hear all my personal shit, (lol are you new? It’s kind of my thing!) we need to move on to the firing of Hannah. We see the first mate there, AKA an actual yachtie, so that makes this seen more real as they are rarely on camera unless there is a big nonscripted crisis. Yikes. Hannah denies taking any Valium since she was onboard. If I were her, I would take one now. Suckass Sandy asks her to go get her “drugs” supposedly she has a pot pen as well. We call those MEDICATIONS, Suckass. Then Suckass Sandy chases her to the cabin to stop her from flushing the evidence. Really?

As for the valium, there should be a prescription on the box! Suckass Sandy says that this is a “nightmare.” Like it is a problem for HER. Then she brings up Hannah’s panic attack as “hyperventilating on the floor with Malia The Suckup.” I love that Hannah just cuts her off and doesn’t listen to her bullshit fake “support.” The takes her Valium back and heads off to pack her shit. You know that Sandy Suckass wanted more camera time for her big scene and Hannah didn’t allow that. And Sandy does this three hours before charter. Hannah goes out to the pier for a smoke and most likely a Valium. Suckass Sandy tries to compare Hannah’s prescribed anxiety meds to a drugged flight attendant. She is so full of shit with everything coming out of her mouth right now.
Suckass Sandy Is Just HORRIBLE
Suckass Sandy literally can’t get Hannah a few minutes to smoke and talk to her boyfriend. She is going to get that camera time whether Hannah likes it or not. I hope Hannah just goes off on her. She does laugh in Suckass Sandy face when she suddenly pivots from “I can’t have anyone on the boat with anxiety issues” to her fake “caring about her.” Fuck off, Sandy. Really. Stop stalking the woman. Let her pack her bags and get far, far away from you. The Suckass Sandy goes back to shittalking. She says she could have fired Hannah last year, or the year before. Bitch, no you could not. Production chooses who works there. And I hope they fire you.

Then, Suckass Sandy calls her number one minion, Malia the Moron up to tell her that she has fired Hannah. Who the fuck does that? She is now talking to Malia about the possibility of Hannah overdosing. She will literally say anything to be on camera. I hate Malia. Hannah leaves with dignity. Hannah looks pregnant in her talking heads. BelowBelow
The Guests Are Dildos With Dildos
Malia’s boyfriend, Tom is already annoying. Suckass Sandy continues to talk shit with Malia. Suckass Sandy is talking about “pot” when Hannah very clearly stated it is a CBD pen that does not require a prescription. I wish both of them would fall overboard and be gone. Meanwhile, Tom struggles to make …pancakes? But he has Suckass Sandy’s pot of broth simmering.

The new charter guests brought a shit ton of luggage for their two, maybe three day cruise. The crew seems to like Tom’s food. Why are they at lunch when the guests just boarded? By the way, the guest seem to be sex obsessed. Jess stupidly told the guests that they just got a new chef. I haven’t seen Sandy in the kitchen at all with Tom. I am annoyed with this entire episode. The guests are playing with giant dildos. Tonight is some sort of dinner party. Tom seems overwhelmed when asked for a birthday cake. He bitches about it to Malia. Why is he not in the kitchen making a damn cake? Then Tom can’t shuck oysters. /eyeroll. Why is Suckass Sandy not in there micromanaging? Why the hell are the charter guests buck nekkid in front of the cameras?
Please God, Make It Stop!
Dinner service was late. And apparently they all had shells in their first dish. The sex addicts are not pleased. And still no Suckass Sandy asking how dinner was and looking for issues. The second course, the lobster is raw. Still no Suckass Sandy. Tom is having a flinging fit. It sounds like he wants to quit. Guess we are missing Kiko about now.

There are fucking eight episodes left and all of them look like a shit show. Tom is just awful. And so is Ibiza. Why would they go there?
Before I even read the recap I am DONE with this shit show. Can’t stand Captain Sandy, Malia and Bugsy. It’s almost sickens my stomach at the orgyfest going on between the crew. I’ll read the recaps but only because TT makes them interesting. But I am officially over BDM. If there’s not a new captain, chief stew and bosun next season I’m done then too! Rant over, putting soap box back under the bed.
Same here. I haven’t watched the last 3 episodes because of Sandy and Malia both are asshole mean girls. Sitting behind Hannah’s back like she is nodding out on the job an did anyone catch that sandy said the crew or guest had noticed her acting strange and mentioned it to her or some bs like that.
Me too! I am officially done with this show! Sandy is, and always has been the WORST! Way to pick your favorites and henpeck the rest. I hope she gets poked in both eyes with 100 accessories from Bugs.
I agree with everyone that this season and captain Sandy had perform for the cameras the all time.. That’s why my favorite Captain is Lee he sitts in his place but know whose doing what without getting up there faces ,I like Captain Sandy on the Sirocco yath..I hate that humungous Boat but , lets talk about the bunk beds uncomfortable area … why Melia got her boyfriend in such a predicament will see the rest of the season but Melia might loss her boyfriend… will see and need to see the guesy the dildo and that big man in the cabin …found the chapter kind of hilarious but Captain Sandy need to get over herself and come down of her high horse…I use to like Captain Sandy a lot but this season will go on BDM History like the crazy one yet…
So that’s all the housewife shows and BDM. I’m down to Top Chef & Project Runway & the occasional Milliob Dollar Listing(s) shows. I always forget about them but will marathon them on demand
This show is so ridiculous. Valium in a box with her name on it. That’s the prescription asshole. Malia is a kiss ass and I think Sandy has a crush on her. Tom is a diva, Bugs is so dramatic and I wish Hannah well! Good riddance to this stupid show. Won’t be watching anymore.
I hate Suckass Sandy, Malia and Bugs. There done. Poor Hannah she was done dirty and hurray for her going out with dignity.
On the frozen enchilada subject, I’m a fairly old ass bitch myself and I don’t know if anyone remembers these, but I think Van de Kamp were the ones who made these frozen shredded beef enchiladas
They were in a blue tray and there were two and covered on a ton of sauce with cheese on top. I miss those. They were soooooo good!
I remember those. I loved them. As for BDM i might still tune in to see Tom, Malia and Bugsy f*ck up. I know it’s really petty, but the way Hannah was let go hit way to close to home. I had to pause the episode and walk away
Anyone else notice production made sure we could hear the top being popped off a pill bottle but Hannah’s pills weren’t in a bottle, they are in a pill pack. Set up much?
The whole think looked like a setup to me. As someone with anxiety, doctors barely want to give you a pill so if you have an anxiety attack.
Thank you! One of the Chief Stews most important jobs is to muster the guests in an emergency. I personally would prefer the person in charge of my safety take a 5mg Valium then go into a panic attack. 5mg doesn’t even make your eyes heavy unless you weigh less thn 80 pounds. Hannah is taking it as directed for her needs or it wouldn’t work. The whole thing was a farce & a set up 2 seasons in the making. Real life maritime law demands privacy when it comes to crew medical issues. Ben almost killed Kyle with Uni. The Benadryl was readily available. Kevin got the trot’s, Kate had a handful of options. Both Kate & Hannah have access to sea sickness remedies. All that tap dancing by Malia about procedure was to pander to Sandy. I’m going to just read your re-caps & continue to enjoy the stories about your life. This show didn’t jump the shark, it sank like the Titanic. You & Banjo stay safe xo
I couldn’t put it any better, well said and totally agree… who knows how long Hanna being on this medication… My only complaint on Hanna is that I think she take to much breaks but never before it’s been an issue like in this season and freaking Yacht The Wellington is beautiful inside but very uconfartable for the Crew… I think..
Shelnel, good catch. I didn’t notice that, but I did think about all of the times in the season production made sure we saw Hannah taking a pill before going to bed, which she said was ibuprofen or some antiinflammatory for her swollen feet. Those tiny valium pills wouldn’t need to be taken with a big glass of water or bottle, which she was using on those occasions. I hate all of the production meddling, yachting behind the scenes is entertainment enough for us poors who have never experienced anything like that.
Exactly. And it sounded more like the top being popped off a big bottle, something like Tylenol. Such bullshit.
I saw that Hannah said she taking Advil PM every night because her feet swelled so much. Gosh, she needed to get through the night and they couldn’t even let her have that.
I’m done with this show. I’m trying to understand how it’s even legal for someone to go through your personal belongings like that!!
Also,wouldn’t Hannah have some legal recourse because of her personal health issue and accused of being a drug addict, not only broadcast on the boat but for all the world to see?
Sandy is so sanctimonious, it’s unwatchable. The whole, “don’t talk, just let me get through this.” Okay….don’t let the accused tell her side. So I loved it when Hannah said, “okay, I’ll go pack.” But Sandy has to run out onto the pier because you are so right, TT, she was itching for a big scene. She so wanted Hannah to put up a big fight so she could repeat her “responsibility to the guests”, “maritime law”, “my license”, again and again and again. Oh, Sandy, the pressure you are under–how do you do it, you fake-ass. And by the way, it is SO against human resource rules to announce to other employees that you fired someone. You just say, “Hannah’s gone, Bugsy is taking her place.” The crew can talk amongst themselves about why. That’s confidential sh*t. And she discussed it with chief snake, Malia as well. Any corporation would blow a gasket of how the “perfect” Sandy handled it. I realize this is reality tv and so many normal human resources rules are out the window but Sandy acts like plays strictly by the rules. This is the 2nd episode I’ve watched this season and I can’t even get through it. Another franchise off my list!
Yeah Barnacle Sandy was expecting Hannah to act a certain way. When she didn’t get the reaction she wanted, she then just had to say “I should of fired you 2 seasons ago”. What a great Supervisor, kick someone when they are already down. As I have stated before Barnacle Sandy is not a happy person. Karma is right around the corner for Barnacle Sandy.
In most work places Hannah would have a lawsuit saying she was unfairly targeted if you told her you should have fired her two seasons ago. Sandy was unprofessional discussing Hannah’s situation with Malia and the crew. And Malia should not have been relaying what happened to the crew. That scene on the dock was the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. Why force a confrontation? If you believed you had just cause, then fire her and let her walk.
Sandy is an unprofressional cunt that is why.
Her chasing Hannah off the boat to justify her decision , refusing to let H talk, then getting pissy about it “i could have fired you ages ago” was so pathetic and embarassing.
Yes indeed. I have always liked Hannah for some reason. My favorite quote in Below Deck history is “June, June, Hannah.” Makes me smile. i HATE the way Hannah was treated. She seems to definitely have lawsuit material. I am so glad she is having a better life now!
Love u love this comment
This!!! 👆
AND Malia
I laughed last week because she was getting dragged on Instagram, which she fully deserved. Two of her sisters and her niece made comments supporting her. “You don’t know the real Sandy so you haters are losers and should get a f’n life.” So then someone commented back and said to think about how Hannah’s child would feel about Sandy being an ass about mental illness and the sister replied “my child is dead.” So my long point being that it seems the whole family has major issues. Did that make any sense? I am overtired and apologize.
I am reading partway through before I FF through most of the show, but who in the hell doesn’t want to hear your personal shit? Because that is most of the fun of this site. Please keep sharing.
Now onto hate watching this show.
Fudge, I’m on the west coast so another half hour before I want to throw Sandy overboard with some chum.
I was trying really hard not to say anyhting that could be misconstrued as a threat but yes, chummiing the waters sounds like a really good idea at this point.
Ha Belladonna despite coming for you on the Isaak the Pervert posts, I feel the same, I always spill my personal shit here. Like it or Lump it as my mama used to say.
I apologize if I triggered something with my post. You were nice to me when I got triggered and I never meant to do that to you. I love your blog and when you share and I need to just shut my gob with personal stuff.
Awwww. So sweet 🙂
Tamara, thank you for watching so that we don’t have too. I honestly do not want to see Sandy or Malia on my TV ever again and I sure did not want to watch Sandy abuse Hannah any more.
I kind of find it hilarious that Tom was stepping in his dick immediately, isn’t he supposed to be the best chef ever? The guests are just trashy, way too trashy for me, especially the big old fat guy waddling around with the dildo. Gross. Hannah got screwed but in a way I don’t think she gives a shit, she is much happier now and with a guy who treats her way better Tuan that show ever did. Malia is such a little snake, bet their tip sucks more than she does.
The guests are so gross that I would have to hose down the whole boat with clorox. I am so glad that they are going to horrible guests. I would of been pissed and the previous (nice) guests were there instead. I am so glad that they are already complaining!
This show had me feeling irritated and rage-y. Malia, Sandy, Tom and Bugs are annoying as hell. Just not cool. At all. Below Deck should be fun, dammit.
I like Bugs, I cannot stand Malia. Hannah isn’t the best chief stew, we know that, but she was done wrong. Tom is kind of collateral damage at this point I think. I hate to think that we sacrificed Kiko for this mess. I don’t think anyone who is thrown in at the last minute would do well, but to hear Malia he is the best chef ever and we aren’t seeing that so far. Can’t wait to see who the new stew is going to be.
I do believe the new stew is Aesha. I think I spelled it right
Yes, it’s her, she was in a crew picture
Exactly… so why go with Bugs, knowing it would be awful for Hannah, when you could’ve called Aesha & things would’ve been smooth as a baby’s butt?
The only reason… get rid of Hannah.
And remember when Aesha slammed Sandy when she took them out for dinner after their last charter? Sandy said she wasn’t hungry anymore and left the dinner. Aesha and Hannah were really close. Another set up?
I teared up a bit at the look on Hannah’s face when she saw the picture on fucking Sandy’s cellphone. She knew what was coming. I hate Sandy, but I think I hate Malia even more. How long did she have that picture in her possession before she sent it to Sandy? If she was holding on to it to be used for the “right” moment, she should be fired too. The only thing that gave me a little bit of satisfaction was seeing how miserable Tom is. Given Malia’s meddling and plotting to get him there, it seems like karma just might bite her in her the ass in the form of an unhappy relationship. Man, he’s a whiny little bitch, isn’t he?
Tom isn’t used to this menial chef on a super yacht work. It’s beneath him and it amusing to see him flounder. Poor thing doesn’t have all of the right gadgets. Lol
Imagine if he had to prepare 72 plates with a few hours notice like poor Kiko, Tom’s head would have blown off.
he should have just removed oysters from his menu and go with an alternative. Tell the guests that they didn’t meet his quality standards. Would have saved time and his reputation.
Or do like Top Chef does, use what ever is necessary to open the oyster. We have viewed many Top Chef shows with oyster competitions with who can open the most oysters in a minute. He isn’t exactly worthy of Top Chef or Below Deck chef honors, is he?
If she has a panic attack in the night as so many of us do what is the proposed course of action according to Sandy? Should she wake up the captain and get permission for medication? How does ADA work here?
I guess she would like to be woken up at 4am. Knowing how Sandy reacts she would be pissed being woken up and I could see her not giving it to her out of spite.
I had the worst panic attack of my life in the wee hours of the morning recently and thought I was dying. It literally woke me from sleep. I wanted to call someone, anyone and let them know. I was HORRIBLE. So FUCK SANDY RIGHT IN THE ASSHOLE FOR THAT.
I’ve been having panic attacks lately (grief and stress is a bitch). I had one two nights ago and almost called an ambulance I was that scared. I just had a tele-med appointment with my doctor who is upping my meds.
The best thing about this is NO ONE is on Sandy or Malia’s side in all of this. Hell, there is a petition to fire Malia now. Which won’t happen but is amusing. I’ll never watch BDM again. Not unless they get rid of Sandy.
i so relate to this. you feel like you are dying… it’s scary.
I did go to the ER once because I really thought I was dying. I had never had one before. It was awful! My heart goes out to everyone who has them. I get it.
That’s when I get mine.Or early morning after a restless night. Pnic attacks are no joke.
I would of lost my sh^t if someone went through my purse. I would of gotten kicked off for beating Malia’s a$$. I do not like the fact that Barnacle Sandy did not let Hannah explain herself. Also CBD is totally different from weed. If you are going to drag someone’s name through the mud get it right. Sandy in her talking head still kept saying “weed pen”. Sorry not sorry but Tom is already whining and complaining (just like Malia). If he cannot handle it what did she expect from Kiko. At least Kiko wasn’t whining and throwing tantrums. But of course Sandy won’t do any self reflection at all regarding Kiko. I am so glad that karma is already happening. I laughed my ass off when the guests were already complaining about the food. How funny that Sandy picked the dinner this time not to Micro Manage. The gruesome threesome are going to regret their actions. I heard that people are SM are dragging the gruesome threesome and production through the mud. Good they all deserve it. I hope that Hannah was laughing at the last part of the show.
It has always annoyed me when my kids or husband go digging through my purse because they literally turn the contents upside down. I would throat punch a bitch for getting my purse, going through it and removing things….ESPECIALLY my personal prescriptions. Malia should have been the one facing repercussions. She is a snake and she overstepped.
I hate when my family goes thru my purse too it’s not that I mind them seeing inside but like you said everything gets turned up side down. Malia has been a snake since her first season she never changed. When someone shows you who they are believe it. I suffer from extreme anxiety every single day and i don’t even get that kind of meds to help with it, but I do get something that helps which I ran short on this month because they called wrong dosage in an I’ve been a mess the last few day waiting dr to fix it. I loved it when Hannah turned around “Can I have my valium back please”. TT your site has really helped me with my anxiety while in quarantine your personal stories are what’s so great about your site.
I agree, Shan! Reading TT’s posts and then the comments has really helped me. I used to think I was the only one who dealt w/anxiety because no one talked about it. In the past few years, have found out a few family members also deal w/it. And just last week I went w/my daughter to the dr for support – she has been dealing w/it for the past year and has finally decided to get help. I hate that we all have it, but it helps knowing we are not alone. Thanks for keeping it real, TT!
My father was in the Marines. They had a way in which this was dealt with. I believe it was a bar of soap inside a sock. A beating would be delivered, but left very little in the way of bruising.
That’s the way to do it! A good paperback book as well. Submarine wife/widow here.
I reacted to Captain Sandy stalking Hannah on the pier as if she wanted Hannah to comfort her, the Captain, about the firing and when Captain Sandy didn’t get what she wanted she struck back.
I also want to add, what does maritime law say about returning a medication to a person whom you are claiming has the drugs on board illegally with no prescription, eh? What does that do to her Captain’s license? (Rhetorical question)
Both very good points. I don’t think they have any idea what they are doing
I agree with you sandy wanted Hannah to tell her it was okay and she understood. Sandy has little insight and really lacks leadership qualities.
Those two are something else. Between the little bitch moment Sandy had when Hannah said she didn’t care about her (thus proving her point) and Malia acting like she didn’t know what was going on when she saw Hannah, I don’t know which was worse. Sandy kept discussing it with a subordinate and then wanted Hannah to be okay with everything. Nah, chick! I know people like that who tell you some bullshit and then want you to be okay with it. Smh… Favorite part= Hannah asking for her Valium back and her boo having a ticket booked by the time she was off the boat.
Hannah yawning at the end of Sandy’s dramatic moment was good too. Sad that the two experts who witnessed Hannah’s firing didn’t seem to understand the the PRESCRIPTION is ON the box. Neither knew the difference between CBD and pot.
I was livid. At this point in our existence, I feel as though a Valium script, a cbd pen, a sativa pen, and an indica pen should be included in an official government care package along with sanitizers, masks, and face shields. Hey, a girl can dream.
They didn’t care, they wanted Hannah to look like a drug user. That’s why Malia intentionally photographed the box on the other side. Barnacle Sandy was pissed that she didn’t get the reaction that she was expecting from Hannah. So instead of letting her just go she has to try and humiliate her in the bathroom. That was so stupid, who in the hell is going to flush a prescribed medication down the toilet when they STILL need it. On top of it she then has to follow her outside with “you don’t think I care about you” then when she STILL doesn’t get the reaction she wants. She has to go even lower and state “I should of fired you two seasons ago”, Who the hell does that?! Barnacle Sandy will never be Captain Lee or Glenn and for damn sure she will never be a true leader. Good luck with that restaurant Barnacle Sandy (insert sarcasm).
That could be the name of the bar in her restaurant — Barnacle Sandy’s Bar. For the restaurant — The Twisted Snakes.
I have already named her restaurant Sandy’s Yawn
To hell with whoever doesn’t want to hear your personal shit. Most of us here live for it!!!!! I was already pissed because I knew tonight was Below Deck night. Now, I’m pissed even more finding out people are bitching about the personal touch you add to your recaps.
I did not watch. This is the 3rd week in a row. I’m done w/Below Deck Med unless they at least fire the micromanaging, cuntsatchel, sorry-ass Sandy & Malia the snake. I don’t know how Malia breathes, she’s so far up Sandy’s ass. There is so much wrong w/what transpired! Sandy knew from past seasons that Hannah has panic attacks. Hannah has a prescription. It’s called a prescription. Referring to them as drugs and talking about overdosing is just bullshit.
I’m so glad the boyfriend is a shitty chef, but it’s infuriating that bitch Sandy was not micromanaging him and interrogating the guests about the food.
I am so sick of reading about Sandy and Malia doubling down and justifying their actions. What the did was 50 kinds of WRONG!
Bravo, Bravo, fucking Bravo FIRE THE BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve never wanted to see a show cancelled as bad as I want this one GONE.
Please watch the last 20-25 minutes!! I swear I laughed my ass off cause Tom was having a tantrum and whining and complaining. Malia was trying to calm him down. The guests are horrible and the crew is having a hard time pleasing them.Karma is already happening.
If it’s that funny I might can get through it…with a considerable amount of alcohol and as long as you all you understand that I’m not watching to support this shit show ONLY to laugh at the pieces of shit. I despise liars, back stabbers, snakes, fakes, and injustice in general. I hate how Hannah and Kiko were treated. I want to see this show cancelled!
Malia kept staring at him like
WOW, you just keep complaining!
Haaaa…I wonder if they will break up now that she knows what he is like.
I thought it was hilarious, and can’t wait to see if Capt Cunt says anything to him.
What about him seeing her on her first season of BD? She had two guys and lied to them both. If he can tolerate her after that, he deserves her.
Familiarity breeds contempt. She probably talked him into joining the show. Maybe if he doesn’t work out they can bring in Adam.
She interrogating them during lunch, where she failed was she didn’t at dinner. That’s were the shit show starts! It bothered me too that she didn’t micro manage Tom like she did with Kiko.
LOL I am OLD AS FUCK and so very lonely… You guys either get to hear my stories or fuck off to somewhere else, lol. It costs me a lot of money to run this site, so you get me in the recap or you know a more normal one. Y’all are who I share my sad solitary life with, Is it not enough I am dying old and alone? Some bitches want to dictate my life? ROFLMAO. Seriously?
WE LOVE YOU…the wisdom, the snark. the best sources, the Banjo updates, tomato talk. Perfect just the way you are!
I like your stories. It helps me get through this pandemic crap.
It makes me sad that you are lonely. You are not alone, we swear it. No one can tell you k them your life, fuck off to whoever is doing that. Also never read anything that starts with : “you should”, I hate it when people do that, fuck them too.
If not for your stories I probably wouldn’t even be here
I’m old as fuck and lonely too TT, so I can commiserate. I do need to get me another doggy though.
Dear twin I know you are alone with Banjo but you are never truly ALONE when you have all of here online at all hours of the day & night. I understand wish I lived closer. So sorry to hear you are feeling lonely.
Xo Marc
Why in hell do these people think they have the right to come on here and tell you how to do anything? My word, if they don’t like it they can just move on it really is that simple. You are amazing and that is why we stay. Been here quite a while although don’t always post (a little before the cat lady incidents) and I love you to death. To heck with people who have no empathy or sympathy the world doesn’t need them or their opinions. You keep on swimming TT. You are loved
You’re great at what you do!! Kelp it up
You are right that Hannah looks pregnant and Malia looks different (hair color) in her talking heads on this issue than in her talking heads later in the show. Obviously these talking heads were shot recently not back when originally taped, yes?
That’s what I was thinking…
I think they film the talking heads during the run of the season, not during filming. That’s the exude I read somewhere for the delay in RLBH.
There was an interview with Kate and she said they film them during the season (so they can remember stuff) but then reshoot them when the season is over so they can get their hair, makeup, good lighting etc.
I didn’t think it was possible to hate Sandy & Malia any more than I did last week. I was wrong. If there’s any justice in the world, neither of them will get a contract for next season. These guests are obnoxious. Tom is a wreck in spite of Bugsy saying how calm he is. Kiko must be laughing his butt off.
Tamara I watched bc I wanted to see how Sandy was going to treat Sandy then use cheap a_s excuses to justify her actions! She is vile, underhanded, disrespectful, lowlife & I can go on& on! But what I loved was the class & self-control that our girl Hannah displayed! She held her head up high as she should & never gave Sandy the upper hand or allowed her to give her any cheap a_s advice! She should have taken Malia & asked her how she obtained the contents of
Hannah’s bag. Now that surely was a violation of Hannah’s privacy rights!
Anyway I’m glad this is over bc it looks like Karma has come sooner than we expected!!! These witches are going to get what’s coming to them!!! Imagine that 🤪! Peace 🙏
I wonder if Sandy is having second thoughts about Malia now that she has seen the footage and knows Malia knew about the valium way before she turned Hannah in.
Part of me thinks Sandy was in on it. Why wouldn’t she question how the info was obtain. Why wouldn’t she let Hannah speak. Because she didn’t care that everything that was done was unethical. Sandy and Milia both deserve all the hate they are getting. Is the show really worth ruining someone’s reputation.
Sandy’s indignation was so staged. I also REALLY hate how she feels she can just open the door to Hannah’s bunk at her discretion- how rude!
How embarrassing that your employer would open the door while you are trying to go to the bathroom. Why in the hell would Barnacle Sandy think Hannah would throw a “prescribed” medication down the toilet when she has already FIRED. Paranoid much Sandy?! Hannah still needs the medication so again why would she throw it away. So happy Barnacle Sandy is getting dragged on SM.
As someone who has anxiety, Sandy saying you hypervenhilated, made me want to punch her.
Malia is disgusting, and a terrible human being.
The karma of it is Hannah living her best life now. The whole time I was thinking I would hate to be Sandy’s girlfriend, the way she speaks to people is gross.
I woke up the other morning with such a bad panic attack I though i needed the emergency room. But in the time of covid, and having no healthy issurance….. I just tried to soldier on, But if I had access to Hannah’s valiium… I would have felt comforted…. like it is there if i need it,. people with panici attacks try everything possible not to take the meds they have because YOU CAN BARELY GET ANY and you always think the next time might be worse.
2 light beers usually does the trick for me, and maybe a shot.
Some viewers on twitter are saying this incident is triggering their anxiety because Sandy is weaponizing it so much in saying that Hannah can’t effectively do her job and suffer from panic attacks. Sandy is the stereotypical twat female boss that people hate working for. Not all female bosses are like this but Sandy doing this on tv encourages that stereotype.
My dad owned three scallop boats. Before they would go out, he would have the Coast Guard search the boats for drugs. Once the Coasties were done, the boat would immediately leave the dock. Yes the boat can and will be seized. A yacht is different. If a crew member is taking opioids, yes they must be registered and regulated by the Captain. The problem I have is that Sandy has always known Hannah has anxiety and her meds have never been made an issue. My question is what happens when a guest brings prescribed opioids on board. Do they ask all guests beforehand? Do they register their presence? Of course not.
Yes, how does Maritime law handle guest prescription drugs?
I wonder what the Maritime proper protocol is for a crew mate reporting suspicions of unregistered or illicit drugs on board? Searching through your personal belongings and staging a photo? I think not! Most like reporting your suspicions to the captain and the captain confronting the crew mate. Similar to the way captain Glenn handled it on BDSY.
Sandy chasing her to her cabin was despicable. Love how Hannah shut down Sandy’s sanctimonious speech, asked for her Valium and walked away with dignity. But no, Sandy wouldn’t let it end there! She is such a horrible person to go on the dock To double down and finish her rehearsed f***ing speech. F You Sandy!
And F You Sandy for saying crap like, you don’t think I care? I could have fired you last year. I won’t care, I officially don’t care, pack your clothes, and you can go now, I fucking don’t care.
You already let her go!
Tom’s temper tantrums are great! What will Sandy say about all that? And why is Malia hovering in the kitchen at all times to monitor Tom’s work/temper tantrums?
Did Sandy fire Hannah after she had already fired her? I could not watch.
You should watch it but please understand what you watch because it may trigger you. And remember that Kiko and Hannah are living their best life ever right now. Sandy used a mental health issue to destroy a person who suffers from mental health issues. Sandy minimized and demeaned what people go through. Sandy also doesn’t think prescriptions are allowed unless she is in control of them. Sandy not only fired Hannah, she ran after her to make Hannah tell Sandy that Sandy did the right thing. She wanted Hannah to comfort her, not Sandy comforting and understanding Hannah. She even told Hannah not to talk.
During this time, Malia was lying to her crew and even tried to be nice to Hannah, yet Hannah knew it came from Malia. Then add in that Sandy was telling Malia everything that went down with Hannah (inappropriate for a Captain to do say anything to a subordinate. and she broke Hippo rules).
During this time, Bugsy was complaining Hannah didn’t prepare her to be 1st Stew, I scream bull crap, all 3 shared same duties, she is 100% prepared.
Tom was freaking out in the kitchen because the kitchen was beneath his high expectations of himself as a chef. Hello, his pancakes looked burnt. He then was asked to make cake and he became hostile. Yet, we all watched many shows were guest asked for cakes at the last second and the past chef delivered!
The best part are the future previews. Aesha returns and causes problems between Jess and Rob. Tom freaks out and can’t handle being a chef (yet Malia bragged about how he is the best chef EVER). Sandy loved his resume, yet he can’t handle the kitchen on a yacht.
Is valium an Opiate?
No, not even close and taking one 5 mg pill wouldn’t make anyone not able to perform their job. Sandy saying that she wonders if Hannah will OD was disgusting. Her running into Hannah’s cabin to see if she’s “flushing the drugs” was embarrassing. I do wish that Hannah would have said more, but I guess she didn’t want to give anyone any satisfaction. I would have defended myself and why didn’t she just show her the bottle or whatever the pills were in? The prescription would be right there.
Just because Sandy can steer a yacht doesn’t mean shes a good leader. She shouldn’t be in charge of anyone. Malia is a prick who will get her ass kicked one day. If she went in my purse, she’d need medical attention.
Her saying Hannah was flushing drugs (evidence) is a problem. She didn’t confirm For herself before accusing her employee of having weed, just took Malia’s word.
Hannah might have said more and production could of edited it out. We will never know unless Hannah speaks out. Either way she didn’t give Barnacle Sandy the satisfaction. The best karma is that both Kiko and Hannah are happy and living their lives. Barnacle Sandy will never be happy is the best revenge. Plus it looks like the shit show is just beginning for the gruesome threesome and Tom.
Valium is a controlled substance. Need a prescription. It is not an opiate.
I had a deadline at work and couldn’t watch the whole show, but I caught a little bit here and there. I have to admit that I sometimes forget to put a potato in the oven and like Tom, I look helplessly around the kitchen saying, where am I going to get a cooked potato?
It’s good to know that Hannah and Kiko are both happy where they landed. I loved how Hannah demanded her valium back and that was it. She was so done already.
microwave! five minutes, hot potato!
But confit — pronounced CONE FEE, Tom and Bugs, not CON FIT — takes a long time. Why wasn’t there extra? Did you notice that no one kept track of whose plate was whose? They needed FRESH PLATES with fresh sides/garnish.
I didn’t even see any potato on the plate….So the serving size was tiny!
And yes, you would think they would always have a bit extra…In case someone asks for more.
Why wasn’t Sandy around asking about the food?
I just thought it was so funny how Malia had no idea what to do with her pissed off boyfriend!
The one time Micro Manager Sandy doesn’t check on the guests during dinner nor the chef. Doesn’t try any of the food like she did with Kiko. What a shit show. I hope the guests complain big time about the food. Btw, Tom is a whiny little bitch. If Bugs was such a good Chef Stew she would of ordered a cake so Tom didn’t have to bake one. If Tom is such a great Chef who has been on bigger boats, why couldn’t he handle the situation. I laughed my ass of during the whole thing. Karma is already happening.
Exactly!
Oy! Well this was just awful. I get the maritime laws thing blah blah blah. But the HR thing is the worst. Why did Sandy follow Hannah onto the dock to explain what she already explained. Air time? Why call Malia & tell her? Air time? Have we ever seen so much of sandy as we have this year? Air time? As in “I’m opening a restaurant soon” air time. And how many of you want led Hannah just to rip into Malia when she was leaving the boat? Malia standing there like Hannah didn’t know who had turned her in? I so wanted Hannah just to slap the shit out of the little shit. The thing about Malia is that while she is very good at her job, she really is a terrible human being. Now her concern is how Tom’s job will reflect back on HER! Way to have his back, girl! Throw a temper tantrum & run to mommy to get the room you want! Wah wah wah! Gotta admit I did feel a bit for Bugsy. Hell of a way to get the job you say you wanted all along. It says a lot about Hannah that she stated she didn’t think Bugsy had anything to do with any of this. Sandy not letting Hannah speak in her defense? Judge & jury. Hannah is not innocent in this but come on! She had a target on her back from Day One. Did 51 Minds sit down & figure out how to make this season impossible for her this year? The job is hard enough without roadblock after roadblock thrown in your way. Gotta admit I’ve never been a super Hannah fan but this was beyond the pale for anyone. Brava to Hannah for just walking away.
Bugsy complaining about this getting thrown at her at the last second is crap. She has worked on the boat long enough to step right into Hannah’s job. All the stews help each other and Hannah left everything that Bugsy would need to succeed. Bugsy just wants to complain! Maybe if she took out the barrettes she could focus more on the task at hand.
Bugsy always thought she could do better than you get the opportunity and the first thing you do is start complaining. Bugsy put your big girl panties on and do the job.
I was going to bitch about Sandy and wanting her to button her shirt, but then I saw naked dildo guy. Sandy is a fame whore cuntsatchel and I hope she never has another season of Below Deck.
Malia was all about how pretty she was her last season, but man the ugly inside is showing on her face. Look at the ugly while she listens to Tom. You can tell she’s a mean bitch.
Hmm can we rethink that themed restaurant Sandy was planning to open in Florida? Who is going to want to work there or eat there?
Perhaps Sandy should consider an adaptation of the MISAPPROPRIATED caduceus, with the two snakes twining around an anchor. How apropos.
(Not apropos, the Caduceus symbol, associated with Mercury, which is identified with thieves, merchants, and messengers, not healers. Only the US uses it, Europeans use the Rod of Asclepius, the Ancient Greek God of healing, a staff with ONE snake. Leave it to the US military to choose the wrong ancient symbol!)
It should be called Barnacle Sandy, a place where the Captain will stand by your table to see how your meal is after every bite.
I live in Florida and will never step foot in her restaurant unless it’s to slap her around.
Hannah will be on Sirius’ Reality Checked with Amy Phillips today (Tuesday, August 18 @ 4:00 pm EDT) I can not wait to hear what she has to say. Hannah is a class act, how she left the show, especially not confronting Malia about illegally going into her purse and then stage a photo. She needs to be FIRED ASAP. I heard Malia on WWHL and she is delusional. She thinks that what she did was the law, etc. Bring back Captain Glenn to finish the show. He is fantastic …. love him even more than Captain Lee (which I did not know would be possible).
Please report back about the interview. Love Captain Glenn. Sandy has proven she is no Captain Lee and Captain Glenn.
I am hoping I will be able to hear it. I am working and I am not sure I will be able to. I do know they repeat it at 6am EDT the next day. If I hear it, I will recap it.
Thanks
For me it wasn’t so much the firing but the way Sandy in particular handled it. Yes there probably are zero tolerance guidelines for medications that aren’t registered with the boat etc. For me, Sandy was so flustered and not prepared to have that conversation – you’re the captain for Gods sake. Lay out the facts, and clearly communicate the decision. She never once said you are being let go. She could have referred to the drugs as medications. Also she talked a lot about herself and risking her career etc which is not at all how it should have been positioned. It’s not about you – it’s about the boat, maritime law, safety of passengers, etc. And then when she chased Hannah into the bathroom – if she was concerned about her flushing the medications she should have told her that she would have to have an escort into her cabin. Then typical Sandy wanted to be absolved of her guilt and Hannah wasn’t having it. As a manager you have to be able to live with the outcome of your decisions. She could have thanked Hannah for her years of service and wished her well and left it at that. She seemed to have this expectation that Hannah would leave on friendly terms with her or be grateful to her for being fired! This was lessons in how NOT to lead.
Karma’s a bitch. The rest of the season looks like a complete s**t show (happy dance). And Rob and Jessica break up ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hal #loveisdead.
That might be awkward for Rob and Jess after Malia pretty much forced them to bunk together.
Wow. I have had so many jobs in my life and so many bosses. Hannah it was your lucky day to have Sandy show who she really is on TV. There is no such thing as a perfect human. Do pilots not take blood pressure medicine? All medications have side effects. I mean there wouldn’t be a captain over the age of 50 if meds were an issue. It makes me think of the very few bosses who were lovely (main reason I stayed at my last job for 20 years) and always appreciate true mentors.
This being said obviously most of the time is not aired. Kind of speechless about the crew meeting – so slanderous. I don’t think they will be lining around the block to work with that crew.
Love to hear your personal stories – it’s important to support each other. God knows mental illness pervaded my first immediate family and I have siblings I don’t talk to and that’s just the tip. Thank you for being a place to go to that makes me feel relatable.
I’ve been pretty lucky with the jobs I’ve had. The one truly horrific boss spent more energy trying to make me miserable enough to quit than he did on the job they were paying him to do. He actually took a flight to California to go to our corporate office and demand that they fire me. He came back & told me what he’d done and that they had refused, but that he wasn’t done trying to get rid of me. Shortly after that he got fired instead. I felt for Hannah having to work for someone who treated her like crap, and having to work with someone who clearly wanted her job. Whatever happens on that yacht now is Sandy’s fault. Interior crew doesn’t know what they’re doing — Sandy’s fault for firing Hannah just before guests were ready to board. Chef freaking out over everything — Sandy’s fault for getting rid of Kiko mid-cruise over one poorly planned meal. I love this show because of the places they go that I’ll never get to travel to, but if Sandy & Malia are back next season, I don’t think I can continue watching.
omg, you all know I love my bravo, and defend my shows, but this is beyond horrible. Sandy is a twatwaffle (thank you TT for my favorite word), and reminded me of that episode on the bachelor when the guy dumped his fiance on the air and then would not leave the fucking house? I am glad Hannah left with dignity, and did not engage with Sandy, knowing that is what she wanted. Why take her “drugs”, then fire her immediately?
Hating these douche guests, and Tom the chef is looking like a completely incompetent asshole, after bragging what a wonderful chef he is. Malia is dying inside, lol. She’s a twatwaffle too.
What exactly was Tom’s job before that he can’t handle the chef duties on the boat? Malia is hovering like Jenna did with Adam. Malia, go wipe down a railing and let your boyfriend make a cake.
I thought the previews for upcoming episodes looks great. Aisha is back! She is going to cause chaos! Plus, Sandy says someone is being “insubordinate”. Tom goes crazy in the kitchen. I want to see the boat fail after what they did to Kiko and Hannah. I am all in for the last few episodes just to watch them go down. I can watch the episodes because I know Kiko and Hannah are living their best live ever since they left the boat. Being fired was the best thing that happened to them.
I wish I could still watch but I just can’t. These witches make my blood pressure go up and I have to take care of me. Can’t watch at all. Hoping next year we have a different captain and crew so I can go back to watching Below Deck – Med. I will always watch Captain Lee and Captain Glenn.
Malia said a couple episodes back that he’d been sole chef before and wouldn’t do it again. Tom should have stuck to his promise!
It’s ridiculous to make one chef cook for crew AND prepare three meals, desserts and last minute requests for guests. Either one chef is not how these boats are typically crewed, or guests are encouraged to make last minute requests for parties, cakes and extra dinner guests just to amp up the tension.
Tom is not the first chef to be asked to make a cake at the last minute, but he is the only chef to whine about it.
Can we get more of the First Mate and less Sandy? He was hot!
I was so angry watching Malia pretend she didn’t know what happened to Hannah. But when she gave her crew the lecture about working as a team and having each others back, I lost it screaming at the TV. Is that what you did to Hannah–worked as a team and had her back? You stuck the knife in deep and now karma with bite you in the ass. Happy now?
8 more episodes! I will need an emotional enema if I have to watch Sandy preen for the camera like Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. Jesus Christ on the cross HELP ME !
Malia the momo. (Moron) Can’t stand her. She and SeaDog Sandy are 2 peas in a pod. Literally. Loved watching Tom fail.
Aside about Whiney Tom…don’t most chefs bring their own knives?
I was so mad about wwhl no being on tonight for weeks we have had to sit an listen to Andy talk with Sandy, Malia, and Bugs an when the biggest episode of the season airs they go on a break. Come on Andy do better this could have been a great time to allow hannah to give her side of the story. Sorry for commenting so much but this storyline has me spitfire mad.
IKR?! Plus he has been a total a-hole regarding Brandi and Denise. Asking every guest who side are they own. Seriously what does he have to do, is he trying to go out of the country?!
Is there a petition to fire Sandy? I want to sign it.
There was a petition to get rid of both of them a couple of days ago. You can google it like I did. Yes I did sign it. At the time they were 300 short.
Ok, I have to comment. I feel that this whole season was a setup to get rid of Hannah and Kiko. Let me try to explain. Sandy does not hire, Bravo does. Sandy cannot not stand Hannah. When Malia was hired to come back, the plotting started. I think Sandy and Malia along with production put the wheels in motion. Sandy rode Kiko and Hannah hard. She and Malia wanted Kiko gone so Malia’s boyfriend could come aboard (he must have been unemployed at the time). Sandy rode him like a wild yearling til he cracked. Sandy was glad 3rd stew was gone so she could bring Bugsy back. She knew she and Hannah could stand each other. Sandy began to create a hostile work environment. This stressed Hannah out to the point of panic attacks. I believe production was in on this. Remember, Sandy cannot not hire, Bravo does. When Hannah was having a panic attack and Malia followed her into bathroom and Hannah mentioned valium, Malia overacted her reaction. Then Malia ransacked Hannah’s purse. Malia should be fired for that. What would Sandy do if she went through her purse? The items were perfectly laid out. Why didn’t Sandy question where the picture came from? Then to say she fired her because she couldn’t trust her is ridiculous. MALIA went through someone’s personal belongings and she trusts her. Don’t get it. Now, once Hannah is gone, Sandy can make Bugsy, chief stew. That was the plot all along. Quite frankly, for me, no more BDM and I’m beginning to think Bravo is as dirty as those 3 on the boat. I hope my ramblings made sense.
“Instant karma gonna get you …” Bwahahahahahaha! The WORST guests, maybe EVER, following some of the best guests ever. BOOM!
We Bravo watchers have seen Top Chefs perfectly shuck oysters in MINUTES for challenges. Cooking 4 courses for 8 is like turning an 8-top 4 times (along with all the other tables)mon a regular restaurant shift.
After several scenes staged to make it look like Kiko was sloppy and unorganized, Tom was waaay unorganized in plating. Because Tom has worked with Michelin-star chefs, he MUST KNOW that mise en place technique is a great way to organize your ingredients and garnishes. Instead, there were three people doing the Texas two step all over each other in the galley. Planning and organization are paramount.
Birthday cake was thrown out with short notice. (Really?) Bake 4 shallow layers of cake; they cook and cool more quickly. Do the trendy “naked cake” with filling CHILLING while cake is baking. Have Bugsy load the tacky crap on top — maybe a dildo or four. BOOM! DONE! DUH! Tom used valuable cake time whining BELOW DECK — extra time. Jeez.
OMFG! Take a look at the preview for next week’s culinary masterpiece! (Chicken tartare?) Bwahahaha!
I don’t think Sandy had a choice but to fire Hannah — She got alerted to something that is clearly a major legal issue ON CAMERA. It sounds like if she hand’t fired her, she could have been in some very serious trouble…. That being said, it was super unprofessional the way she didn’t just leave Hannah alone and let her pack and go. It reminded me of that one time on ANTM when the girl who got cut was like “Yeah, I don’t think this was right for me — That’s okay! Thanks for giving me a chance!” and Tyra flipped out at her because she was mad the girl didn’t cry or get upset about being eliminated. She wanted Hannah to grovel, and Hannah was clearly emotionally checked out from her job (not saying she deserved this, just saying, she didn’t seem into it) so that wasn’t going to happen.
Malia is a sneaky snake for waiting until she had a conflict with Hannah before reporting her to Sandy. She knew it would guarantee Hannahs’ being fired and she was clearly aware of Hannah taking a prescription med a few days prior to her reporting it. I honestly find Hannah hating Bugsy for being a harder worker than Hannah so annoying, and churlish I wanted Hannah off the show…. Just not like this.
A ton of former BD cast are coming to Hannah’s defense. She had a prescription, so there was nothing illegal about her having that.
I wasn’t a fan of Adrienne the first season of BD, but I’m living for her tweets re: Sandy and Malia.
Me too! Sandy didn’t seem to understand that the prescription is ON THE BOX. Malia realizing she had been seeing “all the Valium wrappers” was BS too! And calling it a POT or WEED pen when it was CBD. If you are going to fire a person, don’t fire them based on YOUR misconceptions. They MAY fail at sea from NARCOTICS!
RIGHT? I was worried about some of my prescriptions when I was traveling internationally. Thought I needed notes from my doctor, and was told the original print out and packaging was the proof!!!
The volume was in a blister pack. There were no wrappers to be seen in a trashcan. Hannah did not take a single volume of the pack was undisturbed.
*Valium
YES love them!
That is Adrienne’s tweets. I don’t agree that Capt Sandy had not choice. She could have worked with Hannah. That’s what she would have done with Mailia!
I am not on Twitter so please please please tell us what she is saying!!
I don’t want to in trouble over is but Adrienne put a post on Reddit pretty much saying everything Sandy and Malia were spouting about Maritime law was a lie. Check it out if you get a chance.
ooo! I did Semester at Sea and they put us through intensive searches every time we left and entered the boat, so I easily just took what Sandy said at logical face value. Adrianne has no reason to lie what-so-ever so, you guys have converted me. #TeamHannah
Now that I think about it, Semester at Sea was mostly concerned with us getting in trouble on land. I’m not exaggerating this at all — They literally played Midnight Express on loop for 2 days before we docked in Turkey.
Yes!!!! Adrienne is saying only the master of the vessel has a right, per Maritime law (regardless what Malia is throwing around), to search belongings and with a witness.
Malia should’ve been fired!!!!
Hannah defended Bugs. She said she doesn’t blame Bugs; she thinks Bugs was “collateral damage.“ in the Sandy and Malia plot. If Hannah is defending BUGS, of all people, I believe it.
THEY WERE ACTUALLY STARTING TO WORK IT OUT.
The conversation they had about the sharing of a room was the most adult that I’d ever heard out of either one of them. That they were starting to find a groove, and not ruin that by being roommates. BUGS was the one really putting the brakes on it and Hannah was being a good boss and going with that.
I wonder if Captain Sandy can taste the top of Malia’s head with it being so far up her ass.
The only reason I would watch the rest of the season is to see Ayesha.
You don’t want to see the ship go down in flames?! I am living/waiting for the shit show.
Do you really think so? I would definitely watch to see Sandy and her kiss ass snitch meet their karma.
Yes Tom is already buckling under the pressure on the first night and it’s only going to get worse.
I’m done with Below Deck now, after this season of Med with Hannah, and the past season of the originals with the bully/misogynistic boys. Too bad, the show used to be a breath of fresh air on Bravo. I will still watch Million Dollar Listing. 🙂
And Top Chef!
Tom complained to Bugsy about the guests throwing the making a cake at him, but it was Bugsy who suggested it to them!! Also the way Sandy was sitting in her chair across from Hannah, with her arms hanging up on the sides was so unprofessional!
I really want to know what Capt Lee’s opinion is about the whole thing. Because I respect him and I’m sure he could fact check the shit out of everyone’s statements. We need to watch Capt Lee watching this season and commenting, like The People’s Couch but just Capt Lee.
I miss The People’s Couch! I think Captain Lee has been very guarded about what he says because he likes working and I’m sure saying anything would get him hate from some side.
The most he’s done was to respectfully correct a Twitter commenter who parroted Sandy by saying that the chef outranked the chief stew. Lee said, look at the stripes (first stew has more). He took it down because he thought (based on comments) it looked like he was taking sides. He said only the captain (Sandy) knows ALL of the factors that go into making a decision. And that he never would second-guess Sandy.
Absolutely unacceptable Cap Sandy – you just put all those people suffering from mental health struggles back 100 years!!!! Telling Hannah she was unfit to handle her duties, while you were well aware from past seasons about her diagnosis!!!!
And don’t get me started about Malia the snake. Girl – I hope your raging chef boyfriend gives it to you in spades for a good dose of karma (cause he sure appears to have a temper).
I’m going to apologize ahead of time for those height challenged, but the scenes where Hannah was talking to Malia (and I loved how Hannah was smiling at Malia as in she knows she’s a snake) she made Malia of the ‘I’m so pretty’ look homely and trollish. Yes, Malia, Hannah is prettier than you, and now especially that your inner ugly came out.
OMFG! I was thinking the same thing. I respect Tamara’s rule about not dragging people based on looks. But I was musing about how I have, over the years, looked at someone and found then very attractive, even hot. Then… when their douchiness comes out, I look at them and realize that, from an objective view, they still “qualify” as attractive — nice features, skin, hair — but their personality has rendered them the opposite. On rewatching, the words that I began applying to Malia were “runt” and “troll.”
There is no one on this show who isn’t conventionally attractive/pretty/handsome. Like you though, I definitely judge people on their actions, and their attractiveness goes up or down accordingly.
I’m tall, and only realized how intimidating it can be to be shorter when I was standing next to someone who was 6’8″ so I was probably not relating to how Malia feels next to taller people and she may overcompensate. I still think she’s a bitch.
I’m also warming up to Bugsy. I didn’t like her undermining Hannah in her past season, but she does appear competent and the guests like her. I fucking hate micromanagers like Sandy, but someone detail oriented is fine. I like that she was showing Jess what to do, and not just telling. Yes, you expect someone coming on board as a stew to have some knowledge, but where Hannah was dismissive, Bugsy shows what she expects. I can’t help but respect that.
I think Malia, Sandy and Bugs are reprehensible . They are ultimate manipulative phonies and I won’t watch them anymore. However, that being said, leave it to the producers or whomever did the manipulating of the plot lines to take the time when four strong women are on board in charge (I am including Bugs) and turn these people into (minus Hannah) power crazy, mean girls. Couldn’t let things run . smoothly and with kindness. No, they had to make them look worse than the men they have had on. Ugh…why do I watch? I seriously need help
That bothered me too. We had the douche bros so we got hopeful for the female captain, bosun and chief stew. What we got was the most stereotypical bad female bosses that set us back. Thank you cunt producers who continue to find the worst females who advance your misogynistic shit.
I live in Northern California and we are dealing with fires in cities all around us. So thank you for giving me something to escape to, you have the BEST fans and I absolutely love reading the comments and appreciate that you interact with us as well.
TT please keep sharing your life and keep doing what you love ❤️ and we’ll keep coming back.
On a side note this whole Below Deck shit show with Sandy compelled me for the first time ever in my life to comment on someone’s social media that wasn’t a friend, It was Sandy’s I posted a copy below.

@captainsandrayawn I’m disappointed in watching the latest episode of Hannah’s firing. There has been a lot of talk of safety and your responsibility for all lives on the vessel and that you could lose your licensing. Rules are rules and Hannah should have registered the medication and followed protocol. The CBD it seems is a no tolerance policy so I wonder if that was the single reason for firing Hannah. I do believe that with your history with this particular employee regarding her anxiety and panic attacks it was reasonable to ask her what her coping skills were and if she had medication she planned on using. This I think would be in the best interest of the safety of this vessel and all lives on board. I also think that the way you undermined her throughout the season was excessive and unprofessional. It appears and I am speculating that Hannah did not feel she could trust you as her Captain and you were not sympathetic to her which was evident in your conversation off the boat. I don’t like that she was fired but I respect the rules were clear. I do think you should be worried about losing your license because a competent captain with prior knowledge of a employee with panic attacks should have made a better effort to address if the employee was capable of preforming their job without an accommodation of medication prior to the first charter. That would have been a responsible management decision that protects all lives on board and it would have also prevented all transpired and given you an opportunity to partner with Hannah and give her the support she deserved. I hope you learned from this and moving forward you handle it better (for all lives on the boat). Having anxiety and panic attacks has a big enough stigma attached to it and the way you handled this is the precise reason most people feel ashamed to admit it to their employers. I do hope for all your future subordinates that you grow from this. You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge so you must first start with yourself and take a good long look in the mirror.
I make custom Christmas ornaments please email your P.O. Box and I’d love to send you one! Take care!
I suffer from anxiety & panic attacks. Unable to work for 4 years 3 months. 2 ER visits-full blown nervous breakdown. I did not have the support of my employer. In fact-they detected this weakness & bullied me. To the extent I had a lawsuit but I was such a wreck I didn’t leave my apt, for one year. It has ruined my life. I have seen many doctors-I’ve unfortunately regressed during this current time. My point being-your message above put tears in my eyes & everything you said was correct. I was suicidal. I believe Hannah handled it like a rockstar to be honest. I wish I could handled things so well. Malia has horrible karma waiting for her. Captain Sandy has her own issues & actually made this about her. She’s sober & this set something off in her. TT please take care of yourself-I say that because I get it more than you know. I feel sometimes we may be long lost relatives. Just know-I’m always here to talk. I’m on disability & living on $16,000 a year. I do have Medicare (thank you Lord). I just try to pray, give things over to him & now I know I can ONLY control myself. Other people make me crazy & that’s what I’m working on with an amazing psychologist & a female trauma support group once a week. I send love & prayers to all of you. We can do this. I’ve seen more compassion recently in the world than I ever have & that gives me hope. Hope keeps me going 😇
Good Lord, Jackson! The last thing we need is more judgmental relatives! 🙂 I could use a female trauma support group though. Especially this week.
I think this show is WAY more scripted than we think it is!! I think Hannah wanted off so they did the whole second stew thing to get Bugsy back on board so she could take over for Hannah. Then Kiko has problems so that Tom could take over. Captain Sandy doesn’t watch Tom like she did Kiko and if she was that worried, she would !!!!
