Below Deck Med Recap: Three’s A Crowd

October 4, 2021 by tamaratattles 20 Comments

Below Deck Med Recap Every time I prepare for a Below Deck Recap I always feel like this season is NEVER going to end. I’m ready for some Captain Lee. And yet, we still have one more charter to get through. And I suppose some sort of virtual reunion. Le sigh. I can only hope this title means that Delaney comes back. I like her. This season has been MILES better than the last season. But, I’m still ready for this to end.

Courtney Gets A Promotion

OOPS. I am getting a late start because I was catching up on Jeopardy! And lost track of time. There is a guy on there who has won well over a million dollars and only Ken Jennings has won more consecutive games than he has. He literally knows everything! Anyway we start with Mzi messing up the docking. And Lloyd also screws up. But they manage to get it together. Katie on the other hand awards Courtney a second stripe on her epaulets. She is super excited by the news. She is officially second stew. It’s a well deserved promotion and everyone is very happy for her. On of the passengers gives Katie his hat.

On the other hand Mzi is upset by his recent docking mishaps. Also, he feels really awkward around Courtney after sending her flowers didn’t go over well. The guests compliment Mat and his food. And they have nothing but great things to say about everyone on the crew. At the tip meeting, Captain Yawn praises the interior. But as I pointed out last week, the deck crew had to fill the role of third stew to the detriment of their own jobs. This boat should never run with only two stews. They got $15,000 for a two day charter. That’s a fantastic trip. Plus they are all going to the winery for some R & R. Captain Yawn has begun micro manages the deck crew.

Below Deck Med RecapMalia Calls The Deck Crew To Task

Malia gets her deck crew together to discuss their regression in ability. She tells them they are all making rookie mistakes. Even David has fallen behind in his duties. But that was because he was injured. So he doesn’t understand why he is being called out for anything because he was basically given the job of third stew on the last charter. Mzi and David complain about the situation over cigarettes. They are also said they have disappointed Malia. The new guests preference sheet makes them seem like they are high maintenance. They want the crew to perform a talent show for them. What are they, trained monkeys? Most of them can barely do their jobs at all at this point.

Mat has never had a complaint or a dish sent back. Except for Sandy who is just annoying AF. The guy who left Katie the had left her a quote inside. “How quickly I become jealous of the wind, when it not I gets the privilege of messing up your hair. ” Um, Okay. That’s a panty dropper for me. The crew continues to flip the vote for the next charter. Then the crew goes for their last night out on the town. The girls wish the deckhands were more fuckable. lol. At the vineyard, they all guzzle lots of wine. Perhaps that will make them more fuckable. 🙂

Good Vibrations!

Malia tells her deckhands that sometimes she has to be tough on them to keep them on their toes. I can’t begin to explain the difference between Malia last season, WHO I OPENLY HATED, and Malia this season who I have come to respect and appreciate her as a woman in a traditionally male job who is doing the damn thing. She’s probably the best Bosun across all the franchises. Courtney gives a toast (NOT A “CHEERS” PEOPLE #PetPeeve) to Katie as the best boss bitch to work for. With Lexi out of the picture, it’s all love among the crew. Zee feels like a fool over the roses and Courtney hugs him and tells him how much she appreciated it and apologizes for sort of blowing it off in the moment.

People start talking about Lexi. WHY? Her odorous behavior still lingers. Mat has every right to speak his mind about her. She is in fact a horrible human being. Stop making excuses for her. Courtney is wasted and breaks down sobbing for no reason. Mat comforts her. Courtney’s dad has Alzheimer’s. Lot’s people didn’t know. Lloyd is worried that if the next boat is going to be as comfortable a work environment as this. While I agree with Mat about Lexi, he needs to LET IT GO. She’s not there. Stop letting her continue to trigger you. She’s horrible. But, she’s GONE. David tells a shocking and sad story about taking all of his antidepressant at once and waking up the next day in the hospital. 🙁

Below Deck Med RecapBack On The Boat, The Crew Gets Even More Wasted

The van rides home have a lot of drama. David feels like Malia was being condescending to him in the deckhand meeting. Newsflash, she was not. Now stop making me stick up for Malia!  He’s drunk and all in his feels and falling into depression again. In the other van, Mat has a bottle of tequila and two Coronas in his hands. This night will not end well. David smartly goes to bed once they get back on the boat. Everyone else seems hell bent on draining the bar. Courtney is so wasted she cannot speak. Zee falls into the bushes.

The next morning, the weather is going to be terrible for the last charter. The guests are needy and everyone is stressed. Lloyd continues to worry that he will not be accepted on his next crew. He is already missing this crew even though this job yet. Stupidly, Kate is going to do this cruise with only two stews. Lloyd struggles with the bow line. The next charter is three nights. Something is wrong with Lloyd. He starts to throw up. Captain Sandy takes his blood pressure and it is very high, So, she sends him to the hospital. I am so glad that he is on WWHL. I love Lloyd!

Lloyd is on WWHL with Kate Chastain next. As always, I’ll update in comments if there is anything news worthy. Or not. I just accidently deleted the show. I’m recording again at 3 am. Someone fill me in on what happened with him.

    Lloyd said it was some type of anxiety or panic attack.

    Ah. I hate when they say that. Even though it’s true for me. You feel like you are dying. And they are like pop a Xanax and move on. They normally give you a shot of Xanax but since I have no one, and had to drive myself there, I had to go get a script. 🙁 It’s really terrifying. And the whole panic attack diagnosis is sort of it’s JUST a panic attack. They can be terrifying. Especially the first one. Now when it happens pretty much anytime I am in a grocery store, I tell myself it’s JUST a panic attack, push through.

      I agree that minimizing mental health needs to stop. We prioritize physical health by saying just a panic attack.

      If you have ever had one it’s petrifying and horrific. I know this well.

      He seemed way off all day/morning, I was picking it up by the way he was acting, He wasn’t even walking straight, could have been a panic attack, but he could have even had a mini stroke. I hope was okay.

    Anxiety attacks can be completely debilitating. They should be taken seriously which is what happened here. At least no one said “man up!”
    Agree that this Malia is way different than past Malia. It helps, too, she has a respectful crew. Mat’s food may be delish but has got to learn plating skills. They are amateur at best. And he’s such a man baby, needing that constant reassurance & can’t hear anything negative without spiraling. He must be driving Katie nuts with all the questions & talking. He seems oblivious to how truly busy she is. For her to have to juggle all this work AND the fragile ego of this chef must be exhausting.

    I didn’t notice when I watched this episode the first time on Peacock that when Malia was reprimanding the crew (appropriately) and said “at your next job, they might not be as nice about it,” that piled on to the fears Lloyd already had about his next job.

    On Galley Talk, Kate and Ben were ripping Lloyd for polishing his CV and worrying about his next job. News flash: Not everyone is financially in a position to just cruise along sans souci.

    On WWHL, Lloyd (in Greece) said he was in a relationship with someone very special. He said that 99.999% of people on his social media sites were supportive of his sexually fluid revelations. (Andy was almost creaming his jeans because the Acropolis was in the background. I guess instead of traveling to Greece on vacation, a circuit raisin goes no farther than Fire Island.)

      There’s “circuit” in Greece, Mikonos. Our Andypie would not miss out on that.

    I didn’t get to watch or record this episode last night and was planning on watching it on OnDemand tonight. Looks like I actually watched it last week, lol. I suspect Matt is on the autism spectrum. Once he has something in his head he obsesses about it (Lexi). His food always looks so delicious it makes me hungry watching the guests devour it. I think that Malia did whatever Sandy wanted last season so she could get her boyfriend on board as the chef. If that meant acting like a jerk and taking Hannah down, she didn’t care. She’s a much nicer person this season. Sandy, on the other hand, is still a massive passive/aggressive ass (which sometimes turns into just aggressive/aggressive). All in all, this has been a pretty enjoyable season. The crew, for the most part, got along and treated each other with respect. I don’t understand why they’re allowed to get as drunk as they do. It’s not safe, but Sandy doesn’t seem to be paying much attention to that. Wonder if she’ll comment on it at the Reunion.

    When I watch this show – I think about all of us and all the crap we have all dealt with over the past 18 months. Now take 7 of us and put us on a crowded boat in the med. I’m surprised the whole boat isn’t like Matt, Lexi and God bless him – Lloyd.

    I agree with you all. Malia has been an amazing bosun this year. What everyone needed. She has been extremely calm, direct, reasonable and an inspiring boss. Sandy took it easy on Lexi yes. But her father just died – during a pandemic. I think giving her a pass for her hideous behavior right before she stepped off the boat was smart. No one needs a hit before they walk off alone in a foreign country. For her mental safety, Capt Sandy probably knew she needed to end it positively. I think Sandy did a good job this year too. People are fragile this year – and I think she gave people leeway that she hasn’t in the past.

    This crew was incredibly upbeat on the tails of a crap year. I’d love another season of Zee, Lloyd, David & the whole crew.

    I actually really really like David ( and Lloyd and Zee as well) but David just broke my heart a little bit. Why does it seem that all the nice blokes get overlooked by women. He’s good looking fit and just an all round beautiful soul. I hope he finds someone to love and boost his confidence. He’s definitely a keeper ! Have loved this season , minus Sandy ( though she didn’t bother me as much as other years) and couldn’t stand Lexi ( loved Courtney’s attitude to life and how she kept an upbeat vibe throughout such a shite year). Mahlia was an excellent boss as well and I grew to really like her… still in lockdown in Sydney but as soon as I can I’m leaving on a jet plane for Greece!! ( my grandfather was born in Simi ( a Greek island) and I’ve never been ( was planning to go with my hubby as kids finished school and then the pandemic hit ) anyway bring on below deck I miss captain Lee

      Agreed, why do the women not like these guys. Hello, they are everything you say you want, kindness, emotional availability, respectful. “Nah, let’s go look for some sarcastic, shut down guys who aren’t interested in us.”
      Besides, I think David and Zee are good looking.

    Sandy still bugs the shit out of me. It’s her passive aggressive condescending attitude. Captain Lee is not up everyone’s ass the way she is. Matt has every right to bitch about Lexi. She is a spawn of Satan and didn’t even try to hide it. Good riddance. I do not understand drinking as much as these people do on these boats. What are they trying to forget or cover up or soothe? It’s horrible to watch them get like this. Go to bed and take care of yourselves for the love of God.

      While I think Sandy is a crappy boss for any gender, I have found that employees treat men and women in power very differently. They will try things with a woman that they would never attempt with a man which causes women to have stay on their toes.

    I am NOT a fan of Lexi – however, if someone is not there to defend themselves I don’t think it is fair to bring up their names.

    Matt needs to let go of Lexi’s name and be free. And if he does need to say something, then it should be said to Lexi’s face.
