Kyle didn’t like being called “common”

Sandy with her “people can change” mantra. Nope. Kyle is an evil beast.

    We don’t watch much reality TV, but I always thought Below Deck would be up our alley if we did watch reality TV. We like boats, beaches, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. Last year we went to Co

  • Hi Kate

  • I'm glad I found this thread. I thought I should be ashamed for watching it....good to know there is a support group.

He hasn't changed from last season, Sandy. 

It’s like these captains don’t watch the show when it runs.

Sandy “I know everything!” Is pretty clueless.

I laugh when shit is going down and they cut to the door of Sandy's room and snoring.

No doubt the show pays for provisions. Otherwise boat owners would half their booze budget consumed by the crew at the hot tub.

yeah, at this point even my wife is phoning it in.

the show needs a shake up, and if they are pushing Lee out but not Sandy? yikes.

I skip Med. Can't stand Sandy.

I don’t think they pushed Lee out as he’s got that show with Kate. I think he figured out he wasn’t the same after his son died and his wife needed him at home.

This season sucks so bad. And how do you run a super yacht with a new bosun who sucks and a new chief stew who sucks and a captain who sucks?

And two consecutive seasons of health issues causing him to miss time.

I wish the boat would just hit a reef and sink this season.

Uhh I think she just started an only fans and some pics have leaked into that one belowdeckgirls subreddit.  This is all stuff I just happened to hear from people in the checkout line at HEB which is still open if you need some jello salad-flavored potato chips or whatever.

Just let go/fire the entire interior. 

Tumi is in over her head. New girl never stood a chance because Jess is an airhead and doesn't train anyone. Kyle needs to be fed to the sharks. 

Most of us were hoping his migraine was a massive cerebral hemorrhage.

Another episode where manchild Kyle is confined to bed until the last few hours of the charter.  Bet he doesn't mind taking that fat tip though. (Just the tip).

His headache miraculously disappears right as the charter guests leave. Am I correct in remembering this isn't the first time he's missed a charter for a mysterious illness.? May even be the second time this season. Nobody will mention it, though, for fear of the wrath of the drama queen.

It was pretty hilarious that Sandy busted Luka in front of Jess about one of his two other side pieces. Natalya makes her return next week. 

Evidently Kyle returns next season. He’s horrible for the show. Sandy needs to fire him.

He's a disgusting and vile human being. No wonder Sandy is ok with him on her boats.

Lara needs to come back as the bosun. She’s a badass. 

A bit strange that she was all "girl power" with Malia and fast tracking her to bosun. I can't remember her saying much about Lara. I guess she doesn't have the hots for her like she did Malia. 

Well, I don’t think she pushing melia’s career much during Melia’s first season. Melia was in that secret love triangle with the chef and her Bosun on that season.

I hate that they keep bringing people back. I think two seasons is plenty of anybody on staff.

Malia got the lead deckhand position on her first season because she was hooking up with the bosun. Sandy was good with that and began taking Malia under her wing. The next season, Maila gets Hannah fired, and Sandy looks the other way on Malia's completely illegal act of going through another crew member's personal items. Malia should have been fired as well. 

Did you guys watch Winter House this season? Just curious.

Melia & Katie Flood were full cast members. Sandy, Rhylee and Aesha made appearances.

Katie is one of the chicks Luka is banging, right?

Such a fucked up boat and crew. Fucking Sandy did a lousy job selling the guests on the gale winds, and then dumped them on Tumi to entertain them. I would have been pissed as well as Sandy came across as she just didn’t want to sail.

Kyle is maybe the worst human since pol pot.

Why do you have to shit on Pol Pot like that?

Sandy trying to motivate the crew to find something for the guests to do was pretty cringe worthy.

if they want that series to be interesting, then they have to make a change with her.

Why was it so hard? You’re in Genoa. Lots there. Put them in a bus and send to Pisa or Monaco. Better than a tour of an industrial port in the tender. I would be pissed too.

Better yet, just entertain them with tales of Luka trying to fuck every single stew he's stumbled across. 

Have Sandy do a dramatic reading of the book of maritime law she is always quoting about why she has to do this but can to that.

I refuse to watch the Med seasons because of her. She's just awful.

The entire crew sucked except for Lara. 

But we get the new season of the OG Below Deck next month with the boring captain from Adventure replacing Captain Lee. 

That should be the final nail in the coffin.

Is it over? Sandy gone? I can start watching again?

New season looks okay. Seems unlikely they all make it to the end.

My guess is that the bosun doesn’t last the season. He seems like a dumbass. 

That new bosun appears to be a fucking moron who appears to have never been on a boat in his life. Feet? Meters? Uhh gotta think. “I’m a vampire stew that hates people”. Which dumbass dude will be giving her blood to drink?

It's a permanent part of the Below Deck script now. Hire someone completely incompetent at a position so you can fire someone in the first few episodes.

Captain is a micro-manager (and maybe needs to be).

Bosun, as stated above, has the dumbz.

Great talent on the stew side as well as the lady deckhand.  Witchy woman has yuge tracts of land.

Chef is way above his head, at least timing-wise.  Over an hour in between courses?  Yikes.

Blonde stew seems already broken on day one.  

Potential to have several new crew within a few weeks.

i don't understand why they aren't out here trying to replicate the concept of BDSY - good department heads, good captain, decent to good rest of crew.

why are we getting more of fucking Sandy, who is as insufferable of a TV personality as I think I have ever seen, and a ton of folks who are easily in the bottom 10% of people in that industry?

I'm an addict. I wish I had the strong moral fiber you had because Sandy is the worst. The boat just completely sucks because of her in every way.

My understanding is it's becoming harder and harder to find experienced yacht crew who want to be on the show, so they have to hire people with little to no experience.
