Is it me or is this season NEVER GOING TO FUCKING END? At any rate, here we go with another Below Deck Med recap where I save most of you from actually having to watch this. But before we go forward, has anyone gotten tested for COVID lately? Is it still a swab that basically hits your brain via the nose? I’ve really cracked down on my hermit lifestyle and never go out without a mask. I have no fever. But I am still having trouble breathing and am frequently out of breath after the smallest task, like rolling the trash to the street. I have really bad brain fog and all I want to do is sleep. So I am considering getting tested. Anyway, enough of my whining. Let’s get on with the shit show.
I’m Trying To Care I REALLY AM BUT FOR FUCKSAKE!
How can rich people on fancy boats not be fun to watch? One word, SANDY. At least we start back in the bar with the crew. My brain fog is so bad that I didn’t even know where we left off. I have no recollection of the previous episode. The big news appears to be that Rob is a dick. Quelle surpise! Then I had to spend ten minutes trying to get my SEO plugin to stop asking me to send an email about “my issues” I have 99 issues at the moment, but the last thing on my mind is SEO. I literally had to start the recap over to get rid of the screen. Everyone is falling down drunk and Rob is triggered because Jess told him to go fuck himself.

If this whole boat flipped over and they all drowned I would not really be that sympathetic. And what do we think about Jess’s hand tattoos? I don’t hate it.. but I’m conflicted. I definitively hate Sandy though. Is this the final charter? Please God let this be the final charter. The next morning Jess is still crying to Bugsy. Does Rob have a face piercing? It looks like the two young lovers have made up. Everyone seems to hate this boat as much as I do. Malia continues to be a sous chef for Tom.
We Have Lost All Power
So apparently, this monstrosity of a boat has lost all their engines. YAY? Perhaps they will all drown and this national nightmare will be over? The episode ends twenty minutes in and we can all go back to bed and ball up in the fetal position and cry? Alas, it all works out in the end thanks to the actual crew. But Jess is still crying about missing real life and her friends weddings and such. I have a close family member who had a fancy pants destination wedding recently. If there wasn’t a deadly pandemic and my dog was able to go I am sure I would have enjoyed it. But really? The hotel rooms are like $600 a night and sure it is within driving range…kind of. Le fucking SIGH.

OMG IS THIS SHOW REALLY 90 MINUTES LONG? Fuck. Can we just get some people on the boat? Tom is having a meltdown over mussels. So far, I kind of like the new charter guests. The guests want an ultimate Frisbee contest with the crew. The crew sucks. So I believe that means they have to do service in bikinis. Or speedos. How do they even have speedos? Also the client has requested cucumbers with olive oil and salt. Do they really need to get the entire crew on this venture? Even I could do that. Tom agrees. He was on a 15 minute break and no one can slice a cucumber? But Tom is a dick. He make Aesha cry. I miss Kiko. Thank God the last thirty minutes is Andy tagging his WWHL show into Below Deck for ratings.
I have to get tested every three weeks because of chemo. It is still the swab in brain. It really isn’t that bad – I squirm for a few seconds and its over.
The swab in BRAIN isn’t “that bad”? Either you are a superhero or we ARE living in the Zombie Apocalypse! Or both!
I hope you are doing better. Are you a knitter by any chance or there is someone who knits horking your handle!
I meant up the nose so far it feels like it tickles your brain. Not a knitter!
I am taking everything quite literally these days. Smoky air not COVID. I hope you are doing better.
I was hoping you were the knitting DalaiMama. Because knitting is relaxing. (Until you need to rip out a mistake.)
I had it done in July and didn’t think it was bad. My reaction was more like a portion of my nasal cavity asking the swab if it was really sure it belonged there.
I get tested every month too. Way up there just irritating but it’s over quickly
I’m just grateful is all
It makes my kick spot go ape crap… so it feels like I’m a dog with a funny nose!!!
Wow I am on chemo meds and makes for compromised immune system and not been told to get tested for corvid. They still won’t let me go near hospital or people. So this somebody has to be a home body
Thank you for recapping. I’m watching Death in Paradise. “A UK police DI is transferred to St-Marie’s police dept” so it on an Island and a detective series. Although the one detective was on Father Ted, and when I saw him on a talk show I realized he didn’t have to act to be dumb.
Sorry for being off topic.
Bwahahaha! Like when Max Baer Jr, was Jethro! On talk shows and game shows, he made Jethro Bodine look smart!
Laughing, because it is too true.
I love that show. Such wonderful scenery.
For me it is just a mouth swap here so it isnt too bad but I think it depends on where you go.
I always think this show airs on Sunday nights. And every time I see something about this show I think it is Tuesday. This show just messes with my time frame of what day it is. But I am stubborn as hell when I said I quit Bravo, I have still quit Bravo. I just read the re caps here, which is all I need to know. I think I may have sent you a drunk email TT a week or so ago. Whoops, hope I wasn’t too weird. Too far into the Bota Box.
OMFG! I must be weird. (Well, anyone who sees my posts on here is saying “DUH!”) I ♥️ Chef Adam (and his little dog Tex, too!) and I don’t see Rob as the bad guy. I guess because I stayed friends with all of my lovers after we stopped the “benefits” (except for the bank robber and the Bible-thumping porn/meth addict unemployed children’s magician!). Many of my best lady friends were their exes and their “futures.” What I HATE are needy jealous women. And, NO, I am not open to poly or threesomes or throuples, just friends after the romance is over! I don’t have baggage, I have CARGO, but jealousy is not one of my issues, it’s so nasty and so rude!
I also HATE Jessica’s hand tats, purely from a graphic design point of view. It looks like something the bank robber did in prison with a prison machine in the dark! Or Dennis the Menace did in third grade. Hideous. I like the sentiment, but the execution is YUCK!
I am coming around to Tom. IF he had followed any other chef but Kiko, I would have more sympathy. Kiko did everything sans souse AND with a smile! I love Kiko. I miss Kiko. I wonder if this is the one where Sandy says the thing we see in the teaser like “Tell him (Tom) to quit. I’ll find another chef!” to Malia.
Woah NELLIE! Oh Sandy, you have NO IDEA what you are in for as a restaurant owner. NO FUCKING IDEA! I bet she sees herself going from table to table asking every diner (aka “guest”) “How’s your dinner?” After a bunch of assholes (or nice people) say it’s not World Class, not the level they expect from a fucking yacht captain, she will be screaming “HOW’S YOUR FUCKING DINNER ASSHOLES!” Just ask JoJoFLA or anyone else who’s worked in a restaurant! Bwahahaha! I MISS working in restaurants! I ❤️Ed working in restaurants!
As I was typing this, I got a notice of a little ♥️ from Captain Lee on my IG!
Lucky getting Captain Lee love! Also I’d love to meet you for coffee when there’s no longer apocalyptic conditions coast to coast and hear about this Bible humper meth addict children’s magician. That idea really makes me giggle. Hand tattoos are so tricky. I tend to agree with you on hers but I’ve seen many that I think I’d get; despite the fact I’m too noncommittal for a tattoo, I love them as art.
I think back to what I may have gotten inked on me years ago and shudder… the Oriental tats I would still like. I want to get a sewing/stitching tat, but after the animals fund is in the positive, the bills are paid and the accounts are not overdrawn! (I guess I won’t be getting one!)
Do you live in Calif? I wish we all could have a meetup when this is over.
I’m on the Gulf Coast but I did love visiting San Diego. I’d love to visit the Bay Area too. I love the coastal vibes and wish we could meet up if life is ever normal again.
I love the Gulf Coast. Wish I could live there! I know you deal with hurricane season, and it gets scary. It’s just so beautiful there.
Amanda, you’re on the Mississippi coast? I’ve lived in several towns on the coast there but that was a long time ago. Last city was Bay St Louis. Loved the sweet little town!
I am! I love Bay St. Louis! It’s grown so much down here since I moved back a decade ago. It’s crazy! St. Martin is really exploding.
Can I tell you a tattoo story? Picture this The Philippines, 1986, a young Marine has his heart set on a tattoo of his favorite fire breathing cartoon comic character from childhood, Hotstuff, the little red devil in a diaper holding a trident. The Jarhead had it in his mind to get it the first day of shore leave, and as luck would have it his unit received a safety lecture cautioning them about the risks of sexually transmitted infections, how to properly adorn a condom, and various, and sundry hygiene best practices, and then at the very tail end, almost as an after thought, the corpsman said, oh, and tattoos, I can’t tell you not to get one but if you’re gonna get one make sure you ask to see the needles they intend to use before you allow them to proceed.
So the Jarhead embarked upon his well earned shore leave accompanied by his stout fellow warrior Marines, and immediately started merry-making, drinking until they reached a point they thought they were inebriated enough to withstand the the needles with the stoic courage often granted as a gift from Bacchus to the worthy. Never was there more worthy a group of men as these fine young Marines, and so with his friends eager to see the deed done and perhaps snag for themselves a USMC, and Semper Fi, tattoo, they all merrily hopped, skipped, and jumped to the nearest tattoo parlor.
To be blunt my friend the place was a bit weathered, and seedy populated with what looked to be rather nefarious looking fellows. Our friends entered the parlor, he wrest the comic image from his pocked, and asked if they could accomplish the deed on his left calf, no bigger than a plastic army man, in the brightest of orange reds.
The artist eagerly agreed, and showed our young hero a catalog of his work, which mightily impressed the inebriated young man, who quickly agreed.
And just then in a flash of clarity for a brief moment he emerged from the grip of inebriation, recalled the corpsman’s earlier warning, and asked to see the needles the artist would be using. The artist left for a brief moment, and returned with the needles and ink, and on inspection it was clear that there were bits of skin hanging from those needles – allegedly – whereupon he promptly changed his mind.
At first our hero fought mightily with his friends insisting they must make haste and depart the retched establishment, and just as it seemed he was bound for defeat, the angels of their better nature softened their hearts and relented their opposition to the sage words of our hero, perhaps it was the promise of women and liquor that won the day, none can say really, but our hero entreated them with those, and other inducements with which the young are so fond.
And so they made haste and departed the sordid establishment and learned to live another day without infection, well most of them did, but that is a story for another day my friend.
True story.
Please um thank that person for their sevice, Dude. 😉
😜😈
It does sound like you may have something going on. I pray it isn’t Covid.
I haven’t watched this show since Kiko was let go. I loathe it! I cannot stand Sandy or Malia, and I’m not crazy about Bugsy but don’t feel toward her like the other 2. I pray we never have to see Sandy or Malia on our screens again.
I only read because you’re recapping it and I like your recaps.
Hope you feel better soon! 😘
May I come too? The bible thumper porn/meth addict peaked my curiosity too!
I wish EVERYONE could come to a JSS meeting! That’s my latest mantra I horkEd from The Walking Dead — Enid’s mantra “Just Survive Somehow.” This pandemic has been going on so long, it’s starting to feel like a Zombie Apocalypse Lite!
I miss Enid. I cannot believe this season will be the last one. My mom got me hooked from season two. She was on board from the first episode. Sunday nights are M&M’s and texting back and forth with my mom during the walking dead. I miss it and hate that we haven’t even got to see the season finale yet.
He also was a 🤡 at kiddie birthday parties. Never date a birthday party clown. Ever.
MelG don’t go all ham on Skeeter for posting on the wrong thread!, lol!!
Hahaha! Not me. I want to keep my toys right here and play. Don’t wanna take them and go home. Lol
Haha! Glad you got my joke!
@nanette: “Chef Adam (and his little dog Tex, too!)” If you’re in Kansas expect me to fly by on my broom.
It’s almost our night! We all had roasted Sugar Pie pumpkin last night for my dog’s 15the birthday!
Happy birthday to the doge. That is getting up there in dog years.
Thanks. Every single day with her is extra blessed.
Thanks. Every single day with her is extra blessed. 💕💕💕
Am I the only one here that loves the Bota Box or The Black Box wine? There is a super cheap version I have found at Kroger liquor store. I don’t know where y’all live, but here in the KY, there is a liquor store attached to the Kroger. And if they are stocked up, there is an awesome boxed wine that is 12.99. Hard to find, but buy in bulk if you find it. I have asked the person working, and they told me, “people buy that as quick as we stock it”. He said it is just cheap wine in a box.
Brand name? Is it Krogers? I’ve not shopped in Fred Meyer (our Kroger chain) since before March. I’m all about Bota!
Costco’s boxed wine isn’t bad either, FYI. At least there I can also pick up my big ol’ bottle of Tequila.
I’m from Melbourne Australia and went to Seattle for a month in 2017. I absolutely loved Fred Myer supermarket.
Freddie’s used to be just an Oregon thing when I was growing up. My town didn’t have it, but my university town did (Bellingham, if you are familiar with other Washington towns). SO HANDY for college students!
What else did you experience in Seattle??? FYI… the Pier between the big Seattle Wheel and the Aquarium collapsed on Sunday! I am not sure why people are so shocked. They’ve not been good about the upkeep on some of those amazing assets. I miss going to Seattle for the day so so much.
Wow! Was the pier shut down before that?
When I worked at a marina restaurant from the Bay Area (1979-1985) , there was a pier people would walk along (no drinks allowed! Right.) There were fishing boats and the Dare-a-lick Club (jumping off naked in the water after last call), showers, a couple of full-time residents. I thought it would be there forever. I returned in 2011 after nit going down to the water in 15 years and it was ROTTED. It was devastating. It was like the end of an era, another reminder of our mortality. Losing the one in Seattle must have been way worse.
Watching local news now. Holy shit, it was Waterfront Park! If you went to the Waterfront, the one with trees and sculptures next to the aquarium.
Apparently an inspector noticed a bit ago that the pilings were moving up to a FOOT. (Whoa). So they closed it down and were just now starting the demo. Watched the footage, and luckily it pretty much sunk down, almost straight down which means the two people who went into the water didn’t have cement debris land on them. Trees are now under water (and so is the fountain sculpture – they will rescue that for the new pier)
But by Googling, I just found out that the pier where they used to hold the concert series “Summer Nights on the Pier” is now finished in its rebuild! I saw Ray Charles back in the day. GO AWAY COVID. ERICA HAS SHIT TO SEE!
I also wish we could all hang out together and we have to make sure Nanette tells us all about these nefarious boyfriends.
I kind of relate to the devastation about the piers. Hurricane Sandy destroyed small foot bridge in my town, among other things. I am still all cranky about it, and hate the new one that was built.
I have some photos I took from the wheel and they include the Aquarium but I don’t know which pier collapsed.
I went through Bellingham on the train to Vancouver. The holiday was just one beautiful place after another. I did all the city stuff…clam chowder, Pike Street market.
Went on the ferry to Bremerton and across to Victoria. Visited La Conner, Kirkland, Olympia. Saw snow and Christmas lights at Leavenworth and I was able to enjoy Thanksgiving with all the trimmings with a lovely family.
Best holiday ever.
Oh Jennie, you make my heart happy. Olympia is my hometown! I’m pretty involved in our downtown, and that includes making it a good place for visitors. Bellingham still has my heart in lot of ways too – went to the university there, as did my grandparents! Oh, and Victoria? One of my favorite places on Earth. If I could qualify for a work visa and needed to flee the country because of the Cheetolini, I’d move to Victoria in a heartbeat. (Plus Tylenol with Codeine is sold over the counter there)
If you look at your photos, there is a pier between the Wheel and the Aquarium. The park that was just mainly cement planters that were also easy to sit on, the small fountain sculpture, picnic tables, benches, and trees. A place to stop and enjoy the views.
Thanks for the recommendation – I’ll give that box wine a try. We don’t have Kroger (I MISS Kroger!) but if I can’t find it here, I’ll grab some when I’m visiting Cinci. My favorite wine is a Muscato we get in Gatlinburg TN (Mountain Valley Winery – SO good!) but it’s a tad pricey for everyday.
Bwahahaha!, I love your TT name. I can imagine one day soon there might be a ThriwSandyOverBoard3005!
Two Buck Chuck is back at Trader Joe’s!
Should I admit to knowing about Two Buck Chuck? These days it’s whatever gets you through.
TT,
I was tested last week for the first time.
I had braced myself for the “brain swab”, but it didn’t happen. The nurse swabbed to the top of my nose and it was over very quickly.
In fact, it was so easy that on the way back home, I started worrying that she didn’t do it correctly – but that was just my own craziness coming out – she was a professional nurse who’d given countless tests already and she knew what she was doing.
I encourage you to go get tested. It’s very quick and the peace of mind it’ll bring is worth it.
(My results were negative, by the way 😄)
I have been tested three times. Yes, I have been paranoid but it’s been due to people not wearing a mask and getting too close. The first time was the mouth swap and the last two times were nasal. I had to administer it myself and I didn’t have to reach for the sun (brain). The last two times I got the results back within 24 hours.
TT, My Cardiologist told me the shortness of breath lately is due to “de-conditioning”. I have spent the past 6 months doing very little and staying at home. He said as soon as we all could get out and do things the breathing will be easier. Be well.
Thanks for watching this dreck for all of us. The only way I would tune on again this season is if Sandy Malia Tom & Rob drowned on camera in HD in slow motion. Awful cast wish we could have Robert Wagner on as a yacht guest. He would be sure to take out this trash Alledgedly.
That’s funny…not what happened to Natalie Wood (allegedly). I’ve always thought ole Robert had something to do with that.
I wish someone would end this wretched show.
Oh, I didn’t and still don’t. Watched the more recent documentary and there was simple, sound logic to what they believe happened. I’m a believer in Occam’s Razor.
I loved Natalie Wood. So sad when she passed. I have read all books about her all podcasts, & even the new documentary on HBO. I also believe in Oscams Razor yet I will never believe she left that boat of her own volition
Terrified of water since she was a child. Makes no sense she would leave the splendor in the middle of the night.
The recording of her talking about her deep,fear of dark water was chilling.
But people do all kinds of weird stuff when they are drunk. Like get in rowboats alone and push people overboard …
The captain’s accounts are what edged me over to the Wagner Did It side.
Yea me too! I’m an Occam’s Razor person to a point, but there was just always something about this. She was such a beautiful lady. TCM recently had her as one of its actors they honored for a full day, playing her movies. Splendor in the Grass & This Property is Condemned are 2 of my favs.
And if she was SO TERRIFIED of dark water… why did she even sleep on the boat?
I think her daughter said that her mom would have absolutely not been able to sleep if the rowboat was bumping against the side of the boat where she was sleeping.
I don’t believe that either. Robert Wagner had a lot to do with her drowning. I just finished reading a book called Natalie but I don’t remember who the author was. It was a bungled investigation because Robert Wagner was involved.
I’ve read both of Robert’s autobiographies & he is definitely not telling the truth. Dating Jill St. John less than 6 months later ? No way. 8 feel bar for their children. They believe him & if I lost my mother like they did I would to.
The in slow motion was mean, and funny. Jess and Rob could not be more vapid and boring.
Slow motion is mean but after Kiko & Hannah snuff film I really think they deserve it. Karma will prevail. It always does.
I fainted once when they took my blood pressure (i was MUCH younger) and had 3 covid tests and the nasal swab is nothing. Seriously, tearing a bandaid off is worse!!!! TT, thanks for recap, i stopped watching.
I stopped watching when the cinniving brat Malia (and probable co-conspirator Bugsy—really, “Bugsy??”—) did in Hannah. It was the timing of Malia’s tattle that told Malia’s motive. I used to like Sandy, but she has become like every mean boss I ever had. That’s my rant for the day. (I’m more into “Million Dollar Listing” these days, FWIW.)
Oh – my – gosh – it’s not just me! I’ve hated Sandy since her first season. She’s a micromanager to the point of being a HORRIBLE leader. She’s had a hard on for Hannah since the first season. I think she is threatened if someone has alot of experience and they don’t attach their lips to her behind. Her dynamic with Maliah (too lazy to look up spelling of her name) has made me hate Maliah as well. She’s so arrogant and on a power trip. I’ll never agree with or buy the set-up they pulled on Hannah. It was so contrived. I found some hilarious memes last week of Sandy stalking the guests. She needs to go away.
Our state remains in a lock down but there are little to no outbreaks here (PA) – I was tested before neck surgery in late March when they stuck the long swab through my brain cells (negative). It made me cough & my eyes water but seriously, it was quick & not a big deal. I just closed my eyes through it like I do when I get blood drawn. If you have any symptoms, get tested – I believe the treatments they use now are working really well unless you are elderly with comorbidities. Hope you feel better.
I can’t stand Malia’s chirpy little chipmunk voice!
Am I allowed to say that?
I just don’t remember her sounding like that in seasons past!
Malia sounds fine to me, but Aisha’s voice could break glass. Horrible!! I think it is when she is excited or trying to get attention, or drunk, but so high pitched. In her place I would go to a speech therapist or the like.
I can’t stand Malia’s chirpy little cricket voice!
Am I allowed to say that?
I just don’t remember her sounding like that in seasons past!
I’ve been tested here in the UK 2 times for the antibody. I was worried about my brain being tickled, so I asked the nurses to go gently. It was fine. No big deal at all. I was disappointed to be negative as I hoped I had it last spring. Since this virus started, I’ve been in the hospital twice (where I got tested) and I felt wierdly safe with everyone masked up and very few people. Visitiors aren’t allowed in UK hospitals and I appreciated the extra space.
Haven’t watched this episode yet – will do soon. I agree with TT about Captain Sandy. Longing for Captain Lee’s return.
Thank you all for sharing your Covid testing stories!! Seriously! I live in fear of the test because I had a nasal/gastric tube for almost a month…this is a tube that goes all the way up your nose and down your throat into your stomach. They had to change it every three days and I had a nurse on every arm and leg holding me down because I felt like I was strangling and fought like crazy every time they did it. So things going up my nose is one of my own personal nightmares. Thankfully, we have been very consistently social distancing and wearing masks so…I haven’t felt the need to be tested. (Knock on wood)
I’m in Northern California where the smoke from all the fires literally turned day into night, it was so dark, so now we’re all wearing masks just to protect us from the Unhealthy Air.
I come here to read the recaps and take a mental break so I thank you TT for your service! Watching Capt Sandy only makes me miss Capt Lee even more. And watching Tom, Mister I-trained-with-Gordon-Ramsay fumble his way through one dinner after another just sets my teeth on edge. Can you imagine what Sandy would have done if she knew that KIKO was having the whole crew, including the Bosun, plating his food?? And why isn’t she lurking in the galley when she micromanaged every other Department?? I don’t understand why Tom suddenly is left alone when Kiko was practically tripping over her.
Sigh… I hate all these people except for Aesha. Watching Tom make her cry was just upsetting. That guy can’t do anything right.
I hope you are doing better. Having a tube in there and changing would be challenging at any time, but with Covid and the fires …
I had the Covid test a couple of weeks ago. With the newer test they swab around your nasal passage, but not so far up as before. It was a piece of cake. The worst part was seeing the nurses decked out head to toe in their hazmat suits! That kind of freaked me out for some reason. I got the results back within 24 hours-negative! Jessica’s clinginess and neediness so early on in this relationship is just strange. I don’t know if it’s the editing or what, but they’re sure making her out to look like a psycho bunny boiler! Did the coming attractions really make it look like the guests didn’t leave them a cash tip? Something about hotel vouchers instead?
Let’s compare our captains, shall we?
CAPTAIN SANDY – Negatives: wanders the boat asking guests if everything is OK all the time; seems to be at EVERY guest meal again asking if everything is OK; freaks out is there is a single criticism of any meal & automatically assigns blame to the chef when maybe the food is cold because the guest was yakking; expects 100% 100% of the time; doesn’t understand that mistakes happen and that most of those mistakes are fairly minor; shows favoritism to certain crew members; wants/needs to be liked. Positives: allows various crew members to step up to additional duties; gives praise when warranted.
CAPTAIN LEE: Positives: Laid back & chill unless there is a problem; leaves the guests alone unless his presence is requested; assumes his crew leaders are handling their staffs appropriately; expects professionalism of his crew; does NOT tolerate drama; holds crew accountable; shows no favoritism but is loyal to those loyal to him.
Negatives: he is unaware of crew drama which in last season was kind of unforgivable.
I’m sure there are additions to this list which the TT audience will be free to add.
Captain Glenn was the Cinderellla Glass Slipper / Goldilocks Mama Bear captain!
I love Capt. Glenn and Capt. Lee even more than I abhor Sandy.
Yes, Capt Glenn & Lee are both cool not uncool like Sandy. She’s just a cunt. I could not handle being on vacay & having some bitch trying to pull complaints out of me nonstop. I’m the type that when I go out to eat I’m good with just refill my drink & ask once if we need anything else. Not that I could ever afford to charter a yacht but I could not imagine trying to enjoy time with my dinner companions & having that cunt lurking all the time trying to spoil the food & fun.
Capt. Glenn is my favorite. I love his management style. He steps in when needed and he showed no favoritism.
I quit watching 3 episodes in when I realized that Captain Sandy was going to once again, micro manage her crew, play favoritism, unfairly criticize, and generally give strong women a bad name. I come for the recaps. I am now down to 2 bravo shows which will be deleted after reunion wrap up. I feel like I have been through rehab regarding Bravo shows and am coming out the other side.
Sandy gives women managers a bad name. She is insufferable! I am Team Hannah and Kiko all the way!
100% agree. Hannah was set up by the no-neck troll. Kiko should have been left alone to practice his craft, but of course the micromanager had to get in his way. Team Hannah and Kiko … yes!!
I don’t want to be that person, but Jess’ hand tattoos remind me of Indian women’s bridal hand henna. I may be wrong.
That’s exactly what they are!! Jess said as much in many interviews…that she was “inspired” by the Henna art and wanted a tattoo that would look just like them.
I not the tattoo type myself and not a real fan of women getting lots of tattoos. ESPECIALLY those weird ones on the back of the legs? But I am sort of intrigued by Jess’s tats.
I really don’t understand why anyone would tattoo the backs of their legs. Especially if you’re not already sporting sleeves or doing a bodysuit type deal. I wish I could commit to a tattoo. I have a friend who dies fabulous work and he’s in your neck of the woods, TT.
Hi Tamara,
I read your blog everyday. I am only commenting because I had the exact same problem that you are having. I felt like that for a few years until I was having an elective surgery and had to be cleared by my primary. When my blood work came back I was severely anemic. I started on iron pills immediately. 60 mg 3 times a day( per drs orders) within 2 days I could really feel the difference. I would wake up in the morning and feel fine for about 15mins. I would be out of breath before I could even finish my 1st cup of coffee. Please think about giving this a try. I should have gone to the Dr long before I did but I would just fake till I make every day. Good luck and feel better soon.
TT, another suggestion is to purchase an oximeter and make sure your blood oxygen levels are good.
I also found Vitamin D supplements changed my life. I’m a shut in and didn’t think Vitamin D was a big deal, but a deficiency causes aches and pains, fatigue, depression, muscle weakness. I felt better immediately.
Oh shit. I’ve not been taking my vitamins. Maybe that is why my back is giving me fits.
Same here. Have not watched since Kiko and Hannah were fired. I can’t wait to watch Below Deck with Captain Lee or Captain Glen not asshole Sandy!
I don’t believe that either. Robert Wagner had a lot to do with her drowning. I just finished reading a book called Natalie but I don’t remember who the author was. It was a bungled investigation because Robert Wagner was involved.
TT I work at a College in Mass. we are tested each week. They just hand us a q tip circle each nostril 5 times and put it in a tube. I thought the only people getting the big brain push (at leas here) are ones actually at the hospital. So I am not sure. I hope you are ok.
My hubby is in the same boat although he got tested in July due to a fever. It ended up being a bacterial infection and he had to stop treatments. Thank goodness he is doing better now. I hope your well.
Tom is an entitled asshole that needs to be shown the door.
Completely agree about Tom. I once dated a public school boy from oxford UK and he was exactly like Tom – rude, arrogant and entitled. I moved from Australia to live with him in my early 20’s and I couldn’t get away fast enough ! I find Jess to be a beautiful woman but she needs to maybe be comfortable in herself before she looks to seriously date… she is so insecure and even tho Aesha’s voice drives me crazy I can’t believe how horrible Tom was to her. She’s always upbeat and happy. In regards to sandy I block her out as much as I can she’s a horrible leader
I think public and private is reversed in the US. My husband went to a private (paid for) school and said the old money kids were okay, it was the nouveau riche kids who were entitled assholes.
I agree about Jess. She’s beautiful even with the duck lips but so needy and actually a bit scary.
Yes Australia’s like US but in England private schools are called public anyway maybe my ex was just an arsehole -Tom gives me the same vibes – spoilt little rich boy who is going to spit the dummy very soon! ( Australian speak for having a tantrum)
I would love to know what really happened to Natalie Wood. I never believed RJ’s story. Never got a straight story from Christopher Walken. The captain on that boat, I just don’t know, he was drunk then and sounds as if he has been ever since. Lots of shady stuff going on around the whole case.
BDM continues to go down with the cucumber incident, a failed attempt at afternoon delight. Tom sure was pissed. Poor guy! You’re on charter. Aesha got the brunt of it too, of all people! The most positive nicest hardest working stew in Below Deck history. I worked on yachts, a crew person like her is worth their weight in gold. What Tom said to her was so mean!
Next week should be pretty good. Looks like Sandy tells Malia to get her ass out of the galley. Finally.
BTW Tamara, the rate of false negatives is so damn high, it’s hard to justify even bothering to get tested. Do the C, D, and Zinc. Be wary. Walk.
