One of the reasons we love watching Bravo shows is for the luxury. I mean, come on, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Most of the time I can just watch it for the shots of the gorgeous city and the houses. And let's not forget Lisa Barlow's $60,000 ring that she lost. Oh, heck yeah.

i don't have anything pressing on my mind just hello everyone how are you hello hello what do you what are your below deck thoughts um you know fun times happening on that boat you know i don't know if i have too many pressing thoughts it's kind of fun that there's a that there's everyone's like in love with beyond um

And I like that he is revealing himself to be a douchebag because we were really... I think we were really out of sorts. That he's like a bosun who seemed to be more or less capable, seemed friendly, seemed mature, didn't really have any damage. And now...

Now we're seeing, like, no, no, he's like a standard bosun. He's a douche. Those are my thoughts as well. I was really happy to see a douche emerge because I was like, casting, I mean, just last week I was yelling at casting, like, do your goddamn jobs. What are all these people with no traumas? You've got no douchebags. I mean, what's happening over there? But guess what? Casting said, fuck you. And you want the footage? Release the Kraken. And here it comes. And so far, he's kind of a...

Sly douchebag is not as evil. Like there's nothing really evil there, but he did almost kill somebody today. So yeah. And then, you know, and it's nice because as he becomes douchier, it's going to bring out more of Lara's bitchy side, which I need from my, my chief stew. I need, I need my chief stew to be like,

not always sweet. So we're getting to see that, which makes me happy. And then, um, the other thing is Johnny, uh,

I'm really struggling with the fact that I really like Johnny. And, you know, he started off the season on such a terrible note that I was just like, I was prepared for him to be just like the villain. And every episode, I like him more and more. And I actually think he's like really hot. And I'm just like, this doesn't really make sense to me. He's supposed to be a dick. So I'm going to wait for him to be a dick again. But I'm really disconcerted by all that.

Yeah, I am too. I find him very charming. But you know what? Listen, a lot of people start out on a bad note and do really well. And any Alicia Keys fan will know that, you know, I still love her. I don't care. She starts with like, keep on falling. I'm still in. I'm in for the ride. But yeah, I feel the same way about Johnny. I thought he was going to be such a jerk and he's just so charming. Like now I can see little Serena Johnny children running around smashing plates in the kitchen.

yeah i i kind of want zarina i feel like you know he is very affectionate with zarina and i'm kind of like zarina stop chasing after a vian go after your handsome greek god who's giving you complimentary shoulder rubs in the galley that is your man yeah but i can't tell if he likes her like that you know sean is very hard to read yeah people are nice to chefs too you know they're gonna get fed i feel that also he probably finds it hard to read

It's just a vibe to get. So let's start. We are Below Deck Down Under, Season 3, Episode 5. This one is called Submergency. Dun, dun, dun. Which I was hoping for a submarine, personally. I need some good old clear and present danger moments. We could use that in today's world where nothing's dangerous at all.

Yeah. Yeah. So Marina and Vian are on their date still. And Zarina's really upset because she found out they're on a date and she was liking him. And she's like, it's annoying because I thought Vian and I were vibing and I feel like I misread the situation again. And, you know, we see flashbacks of her flirting with Culver all of last season. And she goes, this sort of thing keeps on happening to me and I don't know why. I'm like,

stop feeding the men. Then you'll see their true colors. Well, I like that she, you know, she's like, I'm going to fight against this heartbreak by teasing my hair. So she gets her hair really high somehow.

And then that's like her revenge. She's like, I'm going to get in a black nightie and make my hair really big. And everybody's going to know what the fuck they're dealing with today. I was like, all right, I'm into it. I'm from Texas. So I'm into a good passive aggressive hair tease. Yeah. So anyway, Vianna and Marina come back to the boat and What's-Her-Face is saying that

I like him. And Laura's like, Oh, Bree's talking. I'm sorry. Bree is talking about, um,

there were dual there were dual dates that happened last episode so it's like a lot to keep track of but brie went on a date with what's his face skinny chris noth why can't i remember anyone's name harry harry this is good this is what today is going to be like today it's you know you know there's some days you just can't remember anyone's names that's today i'm just going to be like um eduardo came back with felicia are these people on the boat well it's also below deck so different cast start clashing in my mind you know

But yeah, Brie's like, I like fancy him. We had ice cream. My family likes ice cream. And so Laura's like, did you kiss him again? She's like, of course. I really like him. I think he's just such a gentleman. So she's very excited. But guess what? Marina asked Leon out.

to date at the pool bar. Dun dun dun. So then we cut to them coming in and Serena's just sitting there. She's just heard this news with everybody else and she's not happy. So it was pre-tease. And Marina is like, oh, are you guys having a pajama party? And they're asking her about her date. She's like, oh, it was so nice. He's such a nice guy. Like so interesting. Which

I don't know that I'd give that to Vian. I mean, hot. No. Hot. Oily. But interesting? What's he done that's interesting? I just think it's a stretch. Yeah. I actually think that's one of his weak parts. Like, that's a trouble area for him, is being interesting. So Lara's like, so you like Baibang? Like me with my dogs? And she's like, yeah, super. I like him a lot. And Serena's like, oh, really? Hmm.

And she's like, "Hey, Zarina, you're trying a new hairstyle of old haggard bitch? It really works well on you." Yeah, this is Serena's crazy hair. And Serena's like, "I don't even know who I am right now." Well, I guess now that I'm looking at these notes, so she had this hairstyle before she found out all this and got upset. Or did she find out? Oh, no, she found out. Yeah, she kind of did it. I don't know. She found out. She went to the bathroom and was like, "That fucking backstabbing bitch."

Yeah, so then she went to the bathroom and then did her hair crazy. So it's like when Sandy, I'm sorry to bring it to a grease reference, you guys. I know that's really old school, but it's like, wow, I'm going to become like bitchy Sandy now. She's like, I've got leather pants and big hair. Yeah.

Yeah, and that's what she was doing. I think she was trying to go for like a carefree, like, whatever, I don't care kind of look. And then it just looked crazy. And Marina's like, that looks crazy. So Marina goes, I like it. It fits you. It's like, damn, this girl's coming in with her knives out. Marina was like all sweet and nice for the first few episodes of the season. But now that she likes a guy, she is like, we're seeing another side of her now, which is fun.

So they all go to sleep and Marina's like, well, it was amazing. I got, you know, amazing. I got kisses from the forehead. Like, what the fuck? And Vian is, because I guess Vian walked through and gave her a kiss on the forehead. And so Vian's like, don't look at me like that. Sorry.

A lot of stuff is going on. Yeah, Laura's just looking at him like, oh, really? And he's like, don't look at me like that. And she's like, did you have a good date? He says, honestly, she's very interesting, which is what boring people say about each other, I guess, to just justify. Just say...

you're hot, I want to fuck you, and you're hot, I want to fuck you. You don't have to come up with reasons for the rest of us. Neither one of us believe your she's interesting or he's interesting claims. Nobody believes it, okay? Yeah, yeah. So now the crew, now's the next day, and Harry's talking to Vian in the bedroom, asking how everything was the night before, and Vian's like, yeah, we kissed. She's very forward, it's sexy. But you know what, bro? I was thinking about it.

I'm into Adair. I'm like, oh, God. Really? Adair? He's really into similar hair coloring. I'm telling you. There's something about him and hair coloring attraction. Like, he just really likes it.

So Vianne's like, "Oh, she's just so beautiful." And Harry says, "Well, I mean, she's just very much like go with the flow, isn't she? I mean, I don't really think she's even reading into any of this. Does she even know where she is?" The other day I saw her spreading mud on the ground. I was like, "Oh, she's from a mud boat."

It's just so hot. You know, when you're looking for love, you've got to be open to explore, you've got to be open to mud. And funny enough, after kissing Zarina and Marina, it's giving me some clarity into who I like and where I want to invest my time. So Adair, I'm available. Let's see. I'm into somebody whose name doesn't easily rhyme with somebody else's name. If her name was Ballerina, we'd have a problem. But it's Adair. It's like, I don't even know what that name means.

So Harry's now asking Marina, because you know Harry's sloppy, so he goes right to Marina. And he's like, "Have a last night, I've asked you!" And she's like, "Really nice, very interesting." And he's like, "You were there for ages! I was asleep when he came in!" And now everybody's good-morning each other, and Harry is still so excited

Not to just find somebody that he liked, but specifically, I've never dated a model, specifically a runway model. That's crazy. The closest I got was to a hand model. That was pretty exciting, except she just kept giving me signals, you know? I was like, speak! And she would just stop, quiet.

So I've never dated a model, but the closest I did get is I once dated a girl who worked at Jamba Juice who once gave me a Modelo. So that was like really close to it. And I'll just be like right now, I feel like I'm basically dating a magazine cover of Vogue. It's so exciting for me. He's got to chill out on this because I get it. It's exciting. She's a model. But there's like the fourth episode in a row that he's been talking about it. And like at a certain point, it's like,

It's going to be kind of a turnoff for her, I'm just going to say. And I feel like model, it's something to be like, "I dated a model," which I think is what he's going for here. But it's different once you settle down with a model, because there's a shelf life on modeling. We're not all Cindy Crawford. And at some point, there's a shelf life, and at some point you have to be like, "So, any skills?"

Any skills of note? Any personality? Do you type?

you know we talked about conversation skills um so he's basically saying he's like I'm last season like I went in too fast and I really embarrassed myself unlike this season where I'm definitely not embarrassing myself and I definitely like Brie a lot so this charter season I'm gonna take it slow and I'm gonna play it cool and I'm gonna hold my cards close to my chest slow and steady wins the race he's English though right

Harry? Yeah. I thought he was Australian. Oh yeah, he's Australian, yeah, because they say, "Are you going to take her to Australia?" And he says, "Maybe, yeah." I don't know why I thought for a second. It still could have just been a general question, like, "Are you, as an English person, going to go to Australia, and will you bring Brie?"

We've had nothing to do with this background. So, his clothes are shrinking. He's complaining to Lara that his clothes are shrinking or he's getting taller. And he's like, "I'm not getting taller, I reckon." So now they're cleaning and prepping for the charter and stuff, and Vihan has decided that he's in love with Adair now. So he's like, "He, he, he, is everything good here?" And she's like, "Yeah, this hot tub and kiss my rusty dusty."

She's so hot. So hot. So interesting. So interesting.

So Zarina's talking to Lara and asking how she slept, you know, and Zarina's like, "I just don't really want to be in that energy in the crew area, so I thought about it's time to go to bed. I don't want to be around short, muscly men who want to stick their dicks into other people who rhyme with my name." So Lara's like, "Yes, I was a bit shocked. Shocked and also instantly bored." And Zarina's like, "Yes, I think shocked is a good word. I mean, did she ask him out?"

Yes, she did. And she's like, well, I mean, you know, I don't think it's his fault at all, is it? I mean, I feel like it's girl code, you know? It's just girl code so fucking far out the window. Okay, you don't get to just claim somebody. And making out and a truth or dare is not real making out. You know what I mean? Like, you can't claim somebody after a truth or dare make out. That could have been anybody, you know? And so Lara lets us know some Serena history, some Serena lore. She's like, yeah, to me, Serena is...

I'm just trying to find a gentle way. Desperate, completely desperate. You know, on the last boat that we worked at, she liked a chunky person. And so she just left a trail of candy from his cabin into her cabin. And the poor man didn't even know what hit him until mid-binge. And can you imagine having sex with somebody slobbering peanut M&Ms all over your face? The poor man didn't see what was coming.

It was like Hansel and Gretel, you know, like come to bed, Hansel and Gretel, which is funny because we actually had a very delicious meal that night. So we should really check that oven. Unfortunately, in this version, they cook Hansel and Gretel and then they're sent back for being too rare. So, you know, it's just Serena's lot in life. Unfortunately, when she cooked Hansel and Gretel, her sous chef said that this could have been a more elevated meal. So it was really awkward. Yeah.

So she's like, she's hungry. So be careful, any man that Serena likes, because you will be stalked, basically. So now it's time for a preference sheet meeting. Here we are, Charter 3. It's a boat owner herself, Asha's experience, expecting exquisite dining experiences, because get this, she's a mermaid.

And Guy is a luxury travel consultant who advises the new crew who should be ready for, you know, she will be on top of all sorts of things. And these are going to be a bunch of divas and they're going to have luxury service. They want luxury service. And Servian's like, yeah, we can give that to her. And so, yeah.

Ayesha wants to bring her guests to the beach for a morning of splashing around the ocean while wearing mermaid tails. Which, I mean, listen, if I'm going to spend thousands of dollars to fly to the Seychelles in the middle of what I assume is the off-season because it's so humid as fuck...

I'm going to splash around in a mermaid tail because why not? Sounds like a very fun thing to do, I guess. Listen, there are red flags all over these people. Okay. The first is we're divas, which sounds like you're assholes. It sounds like you're just saying we're going to be a bunch of assholes, which it doesn't seem that they are, you know, because we've seen this episode. So it doesn't seem that they are. But at this point, I'm like, uh-oh, divas. And then the other thing is mermaids. So it's like you're going to be demanding shit while also, you know, complaining about the patriarchy.

I know about the mermaid movement and trust me, I'm probably gonna join it at some point. But as someone in service, I was like, oh no, this is gonna be trouble. - You didn't watch the Oscars, but speaking of mermaids, they brought out Daryl Hannah to present an award. Isn't that nice? - They're like to somebody who will never, ever, ever, ever get an Oscar, let's please welcome the Starz Flash.

Daryl Hannah. Someone who did this once in the early 80s. She was like, hi, I'm a diva and I like cooked Wagyu.

Could you imagine if Daryl Hannah was on this charter with these women? They're like, please welcome Aisha, Guy, Fernette, and Daryl Hannah. Daryl Hannah's like, guys, it has been so nice being friends with you for 25 years. I mean, ever since you pulled me out of Tom Hanks's trunk. It's just been so wonderful. I mean, I am so sick of men with big noses hitting on me. So, um...

That was a Roxanne reference. Roxanne? Roxanne. Oh, yeah. All right, everyone. I'll get right back to it. I don't have a Roxanne comment, but I have a Roxanne giggle. I just remember seeing that movie in the theaters. So, Lara. So, she's like, well, they're going to be celebrating 25 years of...

The first time that they saw Splash, I'm like, oh, that's great. And so they'd like a several-tiered silver cake for Daryl Hannah to jump out of. And I'm still looking for a sous chef. So we'll see how well Daryl Hannah can heat up fish sticks. All right, let's get through this charter. Daryl Hannah doesn't realize that she's starting out as a guest, but she's ending as a sous chef.

Serena's like, "I just can't, you know, every time a live lobster comes in she just eats it." You know? So Lara... Woman doesn't even know how to use a fork! Just crunching right through it!

Which is a real ghastly insight into the world of mermaids. So I feel like we never really, really, we never really unpacked that scene. Like this is to imply that do mermaids just go around just eating lobsters through the shell? They just, these sweet, beautiful mermaids are actually just vicious creatures. Yeah. I like that they showed Daryl Hannah as like a mermaid who was like wild, you know, just a wild beast that had to be tamed by Tom Hanks. Like an uncouth.

Monster of a mermaid. Yeah, because remember in The Little Mermaid, I think all she had to do was learn to walk or something. Yeah, but she had her own issues. She was brushing her hair with a fork. So these mermaids really got to get it together. Yeah. Also, to be a mermaid, you should probably swim. It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappin's commercial.

Can I tell you about the very first thing I saw this morning when I woke up? I feel like it's appropriate to this in some weird way. Merman. I woke up.

I watched Merman porn and it was fabulous. No, the New York Times. It's so funny because the New York Times, you know, I always go to the New York Times first thing in the morning. I don't know why, because then it fills me with dread. So there's all awful headlines on to the left, but they always have some weird curious thing on the right. And today the headline was, this is what it looks like to a crab.

when a cuttlefish is about to eat it and they had this cuttlefish it was a video and there was a cuttlefish and it was approaching the crab you're like in the crabs pov and the cuttlefish comes forward and has this like has this like fins out and it's like an alien coming up and you're just watching and the cuttlefish gets closer and closer very slowly and then just sticks out his tongue as a

And I was like, that's where Daryl Hannah learned it from the cuttlefish. - I think that that's so offensive to the cuttlefish. You know, who wants people taking pictures of what it looks like when you're about to eat them? This would be mine. Ronnie coming in to take a bite of a Kit Kat. It's like. You should, if you go to the New York Times.

If you go to New York Times, it's still up there, just so you know. I probably can't go look at it because I don't have a subscription to that because I'm a stupid person and I don't just get my own page to feel smart. Okay? Okay.

People with their fucking wordle. Oh, no, I can pull it up. It's letting me pull it up. What a crap sees before it gets eaten by a cuttlefish. Oh, my God. And it's like a 3D rendering. Who did they even assign to this? Mateo Santin. Mateo Santin has some time on his hands. Some time. Yeah, this cuttlefish, it's so benign looking and so gentle. And then all of a sudden, here comes its tongue. Boom. Pork wrapped. And that's it. You just see a flash of the tongue and then that's it, right? Yeah, I'm going to see if I can share this because...

this is crazy it's a crazy thing right it's a crazy thing oh no i tried to click on it and it says creative creative can encounter long in no i i have it but my chrome isn't letting me share my screen which is really sad oh gosh you're right this news is depressing depressing listen are the white lotus brothers gonna or not that's all i need to know from you i know let's get that

That's literally all I want to know. Who wins the Traders and are the brothers on White Lotus going to fuck? That's the news, period. You do that for me, I will subscribe to your ass. And not until then.

Okay, so everybody is getting ready for this charter and Lara is going to keep Bree on service and put Marina in housekeeping again, second time in a row. And she's like, it's because you smashed it in housekeeping last time. Note to anybody coming on this show, don't smash it in housekeeping. Okay? Or you're going to keep getting put there. Okay, do a bad, bad job in housekeeping and then do a great job in service. Like, come on, guys. This show's been on 19 years. You haven't figured it out.

Yeah, exactly. Thank you. So she is going to be there on service, etc. And then Vian is like, I think as a dick team, we're going to be extremely busy. So safety is our first priority and careful for your finger. We don't want to get that wet, which is a reminder to everyone. Harry was not safe. Sorry, Harry. Sorry to call you out on that. He's like, well, I'll do as much as I can. It's on the mind. I think this is one of those times it's good to stress what he just said, which is...

Safety is our first priority, the coming from behind. Okay. Let's just remember that he said that at this point in the episode, because it all goes out the window soon. So now, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, and Lara's gossiping with Bri about Serena being upset.

Because, you know, Vian told Harry that he was like really excited that she asked him out. And now Serena's all hurt. And so she's like, well, you want to hear it from Harry? Harry will tell us. Let's get Harry. So they make Harry come in to gossip with them, who, of course, messy ass Harry loves this. You know, of course, he's like so.

So they're like, what's going on? And Harry's like, well, he likes that Marina made the move, but he can't make up his mind. And Lara's like, between who? Serena? He's like, no. And then they're like, Adair? He's like, I think so. They're like, what? The girl who kicks herself in mud on her off day is disgusting. A mud wracker.

Seriously. And he's like, yeah, you know, he doesn't like Serena anyway. And Lara's like, oh, God, I think they need to have a conversation. Dun, dun, dun. Mm.

So Harry then goes up to Vian and he's like, Serena's a bit upset. So he is so messy. Vian's like, well, why? He's like, because she was into you. And now you've gone off with Marina. He's like, well, I haven't. He's like, you haven't gone off with Marina. She asked me on a date. And he's like, well, I think that Serena thinks you've gone off with Marina. And he's like, oh, he's like, that's a lot of rhyming for me to keep up with. But she hasn't said it in Miami. This is why I had to get out of there. All right. Serena, Marina, can't.

So he's like, and on the flip side, I'm onto someone else anyway. And he like gives that like handsome oily wink smile thing. And so then Brie's like, and Brie knows Harry well enough to know already. She's like, Harry fixing it seems like it might make it worse. Well,

You know, we've got an asterisk on board here, visually. Oh, by the way, it's an asterisk. Here, we're going to see an asterisk. It's going to be on screen. Okay, so Vian is here, who likes Adair, but Adair's here, who likes no one, and then Serena's here, who likes Vian, and Marina's here, who likes Vian, and basically, it's not like a love triangle. It's like a love triangle.

I love spindle, like I love hubcap and nothing's lining up and nothing's working. I'm just worried it's like a kettle that's boiling and at some point it's going to explode because guess what? I was raised with very unsafe kettles that when they reach a boiling point, they don't just keep boiling. They actually explode your house. It's very dangerous and I want everyone to take cover when this kettle explodes. I actually wish that was Harry's backstory. It would give him something. You know, I need more from Harry. That's just like...

"I'm nice, I love my parents!" You know, I need like, "Everywhere I go, kettles explode!" It's like his stupid prayer. I know, like, "Watch out! This vessel that's made for boiling may boil too much and explode!" What was the guy whose car kept starting on fire? What was it? What was the guy? I remember a car fire. Did he start cars on fire? Was that?

Yeah, there was a guy whose car caught on fire, and then there was another guy who was like, "My mom was an alcoholic, so at five years old I had to drive us all to school." Yeah, yeah, that guy. That was Adam, I think. Okay, so anyway, Rihann, his way of dealing with this is kind of flirting with Serena, so he's like, "So let me know if you need a hand," and she's like, "Well, it's like you feel guilty, huh? I mean, is there a reason you should feel guilty? It's like you haven't asked out the stunning chef yet, mm?"

Could you not rub your armpits while you talk? What?

while you flirt with me please it's just super tall and he's like well maybe the chef should have could have asked me to go out she's like well i'll just be waiting here for my apology and my invite so this is the way vihan operates he does the passive thing where he doesn't have to get clocked for being a fuck boy because he's not going to be the one who's actively you know engaging with anyone he's gonna wait for them to engage with him and then he could be like no you know what they asked me so i just went along with it you know

Yeah, I'm not fully anti-Vian yet because I don't really think he's done that much wrong. I mean, he made out with Serena in a hot tub. Of course he knows he likes her, but everybody likes him. So he knows that she likes him, but everybody kind of likes him. So I think at this point it's okay to kind of play the field, don't you? Yeah. I mean, I think that like, he's definitely, he's only in like sort of light fuck boy status, but I'm just saying like, these are the things that I'm keeping out for. I'm like building my case. Yeah.

because i know we're gonna we're gonna need it at some point we're gonna need to litigate this this is clearly going so badly so quickly that i guess i'm just enjoying the last parts of the chapter where before he becomes a full-on villain you know yeah exactly because this is both this is about the episode where his boy nature really came to the fore but also his irresponsible bosun nature came to the fore as well like that yeah it was a double like laser yeah laziness surfaced

Yeah, it was being bossed around by the lady he doesn't like. So it's all kind of coming at the same time. So Jason is now texting the sous chef and they're going to be coming in three days. So he tells Serena and he's like, she's just here to support you. All right. And occasionally try on kimonos. But I'm going to need you to be in the room for that because I don't want it to be problematic. All right. It's just for my Webby.

Yes. And now is this where we actually get to see the CV of the incoming sous chef?

or is it later in the episode we did we did get you because i i mean right now i don't think we saw it oh not right now okay i'll i'll zip it i'll keep that spoiler for later in the episode also um i don't get the cvs that they put up on the um screen because i just i'm a very lazy watcher and that feels like reading you know oh every time that every time there's like any piece of information about someone i always pause i'm like let me let me find out about this person

Well, I will just say, I don't remember if it comes up later or not, but the CV, it looks like it's Alicia from Below Deck Sailing Yacht, who was just referenced in the last season. But she's a chef-chef. I know, but I think she's going to be a sous-chef.

But she's nice, though. She's nice. She'll be like, I'm just here to help. I'm really, honestly, I'm used to being a head chef. But like, you know, when Captain Jason calls me up, I was just so honored to be helpful. So I think she'll be like, she was always nice. Well, that's fishy, though. Do you think they're bringing her on because they're going to fire Serena? Because Serena keeps messing up.

i think zarina is i don't i don't think they're gonna fire zarina because zarina i think they're setting her up to be like a fixture so i think she's just zarina's gonna be chaotic and alicia will be grounding but they'll be like they'll have a sisterly thing and they will work well together i think that's the plan i just think it sounds fishy but i don't know wait anything

actually i actually misread the cv i think it actually said um daryl hannah wow so that actually worked out very well daryl hannah ate alicia on the way there so um let's see so now laura okay so the guests arrive okay and we see their bio they're from chicago and asia is a restaurant owner and gail is a travel consultant and they've been friends for over 25 years so

So now they get the tour and Lara's like, Vian, if the deck team is available, can they help with the luggage? And he's like, we're changing into our blues. We can help in 20. No, sir. Get your ass down there. 20 minutes to change into your blues to carry luggage. That's your damn job. You better get over there.

Yeah, exactly. So then, meanwhile, because he's so busy changing into his blues, Beyond then is talking to Harry and he's like, how do I tell her I like her? I'm like, you don't because she works on directly under you. So I would just not do that. And Harry's like, oh, I don't think the chart is the time. But since you've already told me, I'll probably go tell her at our next crew dinner. So, you know, enjoy that. He's like, but I need to plan these things. Should I wait for her to ask me to an ice cream shop?

So then Serena's like, "Well, today's lunch, I'm going to make it light because having a charter guests on who are from the restaurant side means they're going to be super picky. So I'm going to make salad and salad and then possibly a soup and then a soup and a salad possibly. So those are my plans." But the sort of soup that requires a fork. So she's like, "I feel like the criticism is going to be really high for this charter, meaning that I don't have much room for mistakes."

So meanwhile, Vian's telling Johnny to get everything's ready for, for the beach and everything. And, um, you know, there he's checking in with Marina about, he's like asking Marina what she's eating. And he's, she's saying that she's eating potatoes and ribs. And he's like,

I don't know, they're just checking in about the guests. It's actually- He's like, "That's my ticket." She's like, "Oh, interesting, interesting." So they're talking about unpacking the guests and he's like, "I haven't even unpacked my clothes yet." And she's like, "Oh, I'll unpack for you. Depends on if you pay me in several kisses, I'll think about it, huh? Several kisses." He's like, "Oh God." Not one, but seven. Laying it on so thick, you know, I'm just so embarrassed for everybody on this show right now. It's a lot of cash.

So Zarina, meanwhile, is telling the guests what she's planning to make, salads and soups and soups and salads. And everyone's like, yeah. And they're like, by the way, you're dealing with a few restaurateurs here. We're foodies. So be careful, Zarina. And she's like, yes, I sold the preference sheet. I know you guys know your food.

I know you guys know your food. I know you guys know your food. Flash forward to wagyu steak drama. Yeah. And I always feel bad because people who call themselves foodies are generally not foodies and a restaurant tour could mean anything. Like, do you own a chain of, do you own a chain of like Chipotle's? You know, not to say that that's not culinarily at the top of its game, but still.

There are a lot of restaurateurs that definitely don't know anything about food because I've been in those restaurants and I won't go back.

So, okay, so they're going to sort of set up, they're going to anchor, set up anchor and everything, and there's a buoy in the water, and Johnny says it's 100 meters away, and Adair's like, 100 meters? I don't use meters. But that ain't no dang 100 meters off the stem. That's what I call about 60 mud piles away from the boat, okay? That's if not a football field's worth of distance. I mean, I ran track. I know, God, meters. Yeah.

Okay, I get that you don't do things in meters. I get that. You know, I'm an American, but you're working on a boat internationally. You should probably... This is your job. You need to know how to do this. Like, meters? That's stupid. Hey, how many feet are they? And I don't mean real feet. I mean the size of my foot. I'm about a seven.

How many size sevens do you think those are away? A hundred meters. I didn't see nothing fall from outer space. No, not meteors. Oh, nevermind. Thank God. Cause those are scary. So he's like, Oh, I ain't no a hundred diameters. And she's like, okay, is that supposed to be cute?

So they dropped the anchor at lunch is served and then they have to go and they love the lunch by the way. And then they have to go to the beach to do the mermaid thing, which is probably the best scene that's been on the season yet. Is that lady trying to be a mermaid? Yeah. Yeah. It made us realize how much artistry Daryl Hannah really possessed when she played that pivotal role. So, um, large,

is asking Vian to meet her in the salon for something. And so Lara's like, by the way, after services, can we make sure there's someone to wipe down and vacuum the floor? Because basically in the middle of this, what we didn't discuss is that the guests ate their lunch. They loved it. They got up to leave. And you know, there was something got spilled and

And so there was a mess on the teak and the table was messy. So she had Radio Vihon to clean it up. And then 45 minutes later, she went back out there and it was still messy. So now she's like, so Vihon, can we make sure there's always someone to wipe down and vacuum the floor? I mean, K2R, whatever they need to do, like put the cushions back, roll the towels, make sure it doesn't look like a

pigsty out there. Could you please do that for me? Thank you so much. And he's like, okay. And she says, yeah, but maybe have a checklist to just clarify though. I mean, you know, checklist, write it down. And he's like, okay, I'll make a checklist now. She goes, yeah, because this stuff needs to get done. All right. And if it's not done, I'm going to put a trail of candy from your bed into Serena's and we'll see how you survive it.

Yeah, you know, a checklist. Could you like maybe do a checklist or, I don't know, develop some sort of basic instinct of what it means to be in the service industry? Thank you so much. That would be really helpful. Meanwhile, Serena needs help. So Jason's going to help her. She's like, I'm really fucking behind here. You know, it's the worst it's ever been. I'm so, so sorry. And he's just, you know, like detergent, you know, just give it to me.

So then it's mermaid time. So they're trying to get mermaid tails on these guests, which this whole scene, I was dying laughing. This lady finally gets the mermaid tail on and then she just starts flopping around the water. There's makeup all over her face. Yeah.

They're like, "Take a glamorous picture!" And then she's just like all askew and looking terrible and then they put "inspiration" and it's like some Daryl Hannah level mermaid and then it just cuts to her. Oh my god.

I didn't understand what this woman was trying to achieve. Was it supposed to be that she was going to have like a mermaid? She was just going to take photos as a mermaid? Like, I didn't get what she was hoping for, but like she was just getting tossed around by the ocean. Mermaid? That's like a huge thing I keep telling you. Mermaiding. No, I know mermaiding is. I didn't know what this lady... I didn't feel like she was part of like the mermaid...

I felt like she just was like, I want to bring a mermaid tail to the Seychelles and then we'll take a photo as mermaids and it's going to be fabulous. But it was just like the extent, not good. Yeah. Yeah. Not good. Here comes one right now.

Back on the boat, Vian's like, "Okay, Harry, Harry, Harry, talk me through operations when we have to come up at lunch and clean up because I need to make a list." And he's like, "Uh, did Jason say it wasn't clean up here?" And he's like, "No, Lara did."

So he's like, okay, well, shouldn't this be his job to know how to do this? He's like, you wipe. The way to clean the table is you wipe the table. And the way to clean the floor below it, you vacuum. And then if there's messy towels, you fold them. He's like, but what about putting out cushions? How do you do that?

You put out the cushions. Okay, great, great. I'm really learning some things here. Yeah, so then Johnny is back doing the photo shoot now. He's taken over camera duties. And so it's really funny. And then we cut back to Vian, and he's like, oh, by the way, I'm really struggling to look Adair in the eyes even. And Harry's like, why?

Why would you look her in the eye? None of us do that. It's awkward. It's extremely awkward. Has she told you the thing about meters yet? She did say that. I thought that was charming. I mean, have you seen how gorgeous she is? So then downstairs, Laura's talking to Zarina about what the plan is for dinner. And so Zarina is going to make a truffle risotto, do like a surf and turf, and then like a silver cake. And.

And ice cream. So the guests come back on board and Lara, there's like this nice moment where like Lara's hanging out with the guests, like chatting with them and Bree's there too. And she's like, so I want to hear, how did you all meet? And they're all saying how they were sorority sisters, but they've also known each other since they were children. But like actually only a few of them have children. That's their only bond.

And Laura's asking them about like, I'm sorry, some of them said that they were only children. And then Laura asked if any of them have had children and only one person has. So they're talking about like kids and relationships. And it's like a nice moment. And one of the guests asked Brie if she has like a boy, well, ask Laura first if she has a boyfriend.

And then they're sort of like, "What about you, Bri?" And they're kind of like coy, and they kind of deduce that it's Harry who Bri is into. Well, because they say, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Harry's like, "Did I hear the word boyfriend?" He's just like all of a sudden kind of creeping around. And so they ask him how old he is, and he's like, "How old do you reckon?" They're like, "Reckon."

And they guess it's 25 and he's from Australia. So one of them is like, "So, Brie, have you ever been to Australia?" She goes, "No." And they're like, "So Harry, are you gonna invite Brie to Australia?" And he's like, "Maybe." And Brie's like,

Maybe? Maybe? Are you fucking serious right now? My first long-term boyfriend was very self-centered and not the best communicator, and I just never thought Harry would be the kind of person to blame mind games. But he is. Who else would say maybe? I know. He starts unraveling.

Like, I thought that he was just being coy and she is really, she's like really upset by this. So... They show her walking around cleaning after this and she just walks into the bathroom and goes, "Maybe?" And she goes back to her bed and folds the sheets like, "Maybe?" She's really struggling. So...

So then Jason's checking in with Vian and see how everything's going. And Vian's like, yeah, you know, I've got a few things I want to tweak, but I want to set up lists so they can actually tick it off as I think they're missing certain things. Implying that, that,

that uh he's actually he's trying to make it seem like he's on top of when he was the one who did not take care of the messy table and floor so now he's kind of being like i'm gonna make some lists this was totally my idea i'm gonna make a list because my team they're missing things i'm like

No, you missed that. That was your spill to clean up, sir. And he's hedging his bets too, because he's assuming that Lara is tattletailing on him, which she's not. So he's just like, just in case she comes to complain and says, I need to make lists, I'm going to tell them that making lists is totally my idea. So then Lara's like, so Vion, can I get someone to help set the deck up?

And he's like, okay. She goes, well, I'll be up there. So whenever someone's free, just come up there. And so he's like, okay, no problem. Okay, Adair, maybe we'll help, but you should take a break with Harry. She's like, okay. Isn't Adair, she's like a Dextu. Shouldn't she be the one to go up and help? Like that's her role is to go back and forth. Yes. So Vian tells Lara this, you know, and, but like,

you know it's totally unhelpful because he's going to shower and stuff first so then um well yeah johnny's like well shouldn't i do the shouldn't i do the setup thing beforehand and he's like no go take a shower you know go go get into your blacks and find laura so laura we'll be with you in 15. no worries and it's 7 34 and dinner's at eight so she just rolls her eyes just like yeah because it's totally totally unhelpful so uh tonight's theme is silver and pearls to celebrate the guests

having 25 years of sorority sister ship amongst them or behind them. So she says, Laura says, "When you know someone that long, they become your family. And I want to make this over the top and glam as possible. I need to make sure everything is perfect for them.

So, here's a streamer. So then Adair... This is my art! Someone get that streamer taped, please. It's a wall of streamers. Except when we've run out, then we'll just leave giant gaps. It's art. Just go with it, alright?

You know, they are celebrating a special anniversary, 25 years of being sorority sisters, and this is an important moment. That's why I went to the local Hallmark store of the Seychelles and got this big two and this big five, and it's just going to dangle over their Wagyu beats tonight. Oh.

So Adair sees her and she's like, oh, Johnny's changing to come up and help you, okay? He's about 100 meters away, whatever the fuck that means. And she's like, well, we're done now, but thanks, okay? And so she radios Johnny that they're set up. So then...

Serena in the galley is like, "You know, you really didn't need that, but you were asking for it." And Johnny goes, "Sorry?" And she's like, "I'm talking to the sauce." Yeah. He's like, "You're mental completely." In the best possible way. Which is funny because earlier in the episode when Serena was going through it about Vian, she was like mashing something in a bowl very violently. She's like, "Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Getting all her anger out. So she's like, "What's me, mental?"

So she goes, do you think it's going to stop someone from wanting to marry me because I'm like so weird? He's like, no, you need to find somebody that is going to marry you for being yourself. If not, just get 10 dogs like Lara.

Uh, so Bree's like, "Bjorn has a crush on Adair, but I think he's like just a flirt, you know, and maybe he likes attention. I don't know. And you know, he's wanted and he wants to be wanted in 10 different directions and he is." So now it's dinner time and like, oh my God, streamers. This really does remind me of setting up in sorority with $5 budgets. This is something. Yeah. Takes us all the way back.

So, Zarina's talking about how she made this risotto and everything and the surf and turf. It's a perfect balance of flavor and texture in your mouth. I'm really excited about it, actually. But I see the steaks are cooked pretty rare. And I was like, these steaks are going back. I'm telling you this right now. These ladies are going to want their steak more well done. I just get that vibe. And I don't eat... You know, I eat fish, but I don't eat meat. So, I was...

I had to like research it. I had to like, look it up, you know, I was like, is this how they're supposed to be served? Cause when I saw those, I was like, oh no, those are practically living. You can't serve those. Those aren't just rare. Those are like not cooked at all. So I was confused. I noticed she got the sear on them because Jason complained last time that there was no sear. So she got the sear on and then it looked like she was putting them into the oven, but they came out purple. You should, they shouldn't be purple. And I looked it up and yeah, it is served a lot.

more raw looking than regular beef is, but not that much. I mean, yikes. Yeah. I've only had Wagyu twice, I think. Like real, like the nice, like, I mean, there's different things, like people are like, oh, here's a Kobe beef slider or whatever. But like the really, really nice, is it called like A9 or something like that?

And it is served incredibly, incredibly rare. And it's like melt in your mouth delicious. But like when I had it, it was like in a Japanese restaurant. So it was like this little sort of sliver, this beautiful sliver. And so it's like super rare, but it almost feels like appropriate because it's like, it's on the heels of sushi and lovely things. You're like, yes, I will have this red piece of meat with a char. But I think like getting a big old filet,

that's like sear on the outside and then just see how red it is in the middle. That could be really, really upsetting to people. So I get it. I get it. - Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of ignorant on the Wagyu front, but I was like, oh no, don't serve that. And then I felt a little bit better once I Googled it. But, and also when I Googled it, it's usually served sliced, right?

Yeah, exactly. It's like how I, exactly. It's like how I, I don't know how, actually, I'm not going to act like I know how it's normally served, but, but like, I definitely was like, that's very rare. And this probably won't land well. Yeah. So let's, I'm staring at pictures online. I'm staring at it. I'm like,

You know, it is cooked. It is often served very rare. I'm looking at the pictures now. It's served very rare. But hers were really, really rare. Although there is this one picture where it's pretty purplish. It looks delicious. I'll have it in any temperature. But I can't tell if that's the way these are supposed to be served to eat. I mean, a lot of it is just raw. It's like before it's cooked. I don't mean pre-cooked. I mean pre-cooking.

I don't know. I can't tell. So the jury's out on this one. I have no idea. But my first thought was too rare. I just want to know, what does it look like when you're a piece of wagyu and a cuttlefish is about to eat you? So then, let's see. So now the guys have been sent down to help with cabins. This is another thing I'll say. The deckhands are being asked to do a lot, which...

You know, not to defend Vian here, but she does ask a lot of the deck crew. Now, granted, they don't really do it. Like, as we just saw with the preparation for dinner. But do we usually see the deckhands help this much with interior?

I think that they needed to help out. Maybe not. I don't know. I think it's standard amount. There's apparently a huge amount of sand. So they just needed someone to like basically scoop up the sand while this while this dude did other stuff. Also, the deckhands are presenting shirtless. They're serving the food shirtless for some reason. I mean, it's it's nice. I mean, we like it. They have nice bodies. But I'm like, what?

Why are they shirtless for this sorority anniversary occasion? It was just sort of one of those funny things where I'm like, oh, is this just what they're going to, if there's ever like a group of all women, they're just going to make the guys take off all their shirts every time? Yeah. I mean, I'm down. So the guys are supposed to be cleaning the dirt, but Vian's feet hurt. So he's like, oh my God, my feet are so sore. So he sits down in the main salon and he's like, come on guys, take a load off. So they're all just kind of sitting on the couches while he rubs his sandy feet and

And Lara sees them and she's like, "Um, do you guys want to chill downstairs and not in the guest area?" And he's like, "Ugh." And we have, like, the update is Lara has climbed 793 stairs so far. So Lara then goes and does the Thai Monarch tradition of Blow Deck, which is go and bitch about the deckhands to her second-in-command. So she's like, "These boys!" And Bree's like, "Yeah."

All they do is laying on sofas in the main salon. She's like, no way. All of them? Did Harry say he would invite them to Australia? She's like, yes. And he said it with conviction. And this is my pride and joy, you know, having clean sofas. And they're just sitting on the clean sofas. And Brie's like, maybe.

I don't know what you're talking about. Sorry, I'm still in my own head. So Vian's like, okay, well, you know, the problem is when I go down there and sit down there, then I need to wash up or like I need to go clean cabins or something like that. So I don't want to sit down there. Yeah, it's called doing your fucking job, bro.

Yeah. Or you can just say, no, you just say, no, I've got to do other things. He's like, I cannot run up and down like this all night. My feet are sore. I'm tired. I've never had to do this. It's too much. I'm like, Laura's going up and down all night. So if she can do it, you can do it. So then she says. Yeah, the real villain on this season, we've been waiting for like a true villain to emerge. And it's been here the whole time. It's those fucking stairs. Okay. Yeah. The biggest shit stir on any season, those stairs. Yeah.

Yeah. I would also say the stairs have a co-accomplice or just an accomplice with the humidity because everything about this show just feels humid. Like I feel humid when I watch this show. And so I think stairs and humidity are,

And what seems like there's, is there just like no air conditioning on this boat? Like I noticed in the, in the crew rooms, one of the rooms, someone has like a fan that they've just pulled out of a box. So like, is this, is it not ventilated in there? I need to know all the details. I don't know. I think even if there is AC, you probably just need air. It's just humid. It's very thick air.

So she's mad because Vianna is setting a bad example for his team, you know, and if he was really a team player, he should be offering to help in cabins and help run plates. And, you know, she's like, I mean, should I offer him a cocktail? So then the next course is served, which is surf and turf, which is this wagyu beef.

So immediately a couple of the ladies are like, yeah, I'm going to need this more done. Like, this is crazy. Please send this back. So then it's three. And then I think it's all of them that end up getting sent back. Almost all of them. It's like a lot of them go back or, and they're very, and by the way, and these guests are super nice. They're not like, they're not obnoxious. Despite the fact that they call themselves divas. They're not there. They've actually been like lovely this entire time. And in fact, going back to that scene when they were talking to Laura and Marie about like,

you know, like Harry and stuff like that. They were so sweet and fun. Like I just want, I was like, I want to hang out with them. So they were like very kind. They warned us that they were going to be holy terrors and they're like lovely after they're like, they're like, we're restaurateurs and we will not hold that against your cooking. We just want this coach a little bit better. Like, you know, they're just so nice.

So they're, but they're, you know, Zarina is like embarrassed and she's like, these steaks are cooked, but I think these women just, I just don't think they want to see any blood at all. And they're restauranteurs. And I would have thought they would have recognized the high end Wagyu steak, how it's really meant to be eaten. And I should have just fucking charred the shit out of it for them. So luckily Jason's down there. I mean, unluckily, right? Because all the plates are sent back. So that's not a great look, but luckily he does no Wagyu. So he's eating it and he's like,

"Oh, no, I mean, you couldn't have cooked that anymore." She goes, "Yeah, because it's Wagyu. Thank you for getting me. Thank you."

So then there's a cake that's going to be going up, which, by the way, props to Zarina for making a three-tier cake or at least a very tall two-tier cake because I feel like the last few Below Decks, people have been really skimping on their cake work, especially Cloyce, who had to buy a cake for that one occasion. So Zarina made a big-ass cake, and they put a 25 on top, and Vian's like, oh, so one of them is 25? Okay.

It's the 25th anniversary, you idiots. So they serve it. They love it. The guests love it. And now it's bedtime. And so we get a Brie and Harry getting to know themselves, getting to know each other moment. So Brie's like, oh my God, they're not big soda drinkers. I mean, the last charter drank so many sodas. And he's like, soda water. And she's like, no, like Coke. I love Diet Coke. That's me opening up. So he's like that.

And I love Dr. Pepper. You know, the first thing I do when I go to the US is get a physical exam from Dr. Pepper. And she's like, oh yeah, you get a Dr. Pepper? She's like, yeah. And you know, I go to In-N-Out too. And she goes, do you have Shake Shack? He's like, no, you'll have to take me there. She goes...

Oh, God, Brie, this is the moment you've been waiting for. Say it, Brie. Maybe. He's like, what? Maybe. Yeah, because you said earlier, maybe, when they said, are you going to take her to Australia? You said, maybe. I mean, thanks a lot. Maybe. And he's like, is that what I said? She goes, maybe. Yeah, that's what you said. Maybe. Well, guess what? Maybe I'll bring you to New Jersey to taste our version of Diet Coke.

Maybe I'll bring you to the bridge that says, "Trenton gives and the world takes!" Whatever that bridge was. And Harry's like, "Oh, sorry. I mean, I didn't think I should tell the cart to charge the guests all our crew's secrets. It's dark, eh?" She's like, "Damn it." So now, Vion goes to offer some help to Serena again, and she's going to bed, and

Then Marina's like, so Serena, I'm having a little bit of cake. Is that okay? She goes, go ahead. She's like, rumors are that Vian used to strip. And then we see the flashback of Vian telling the boys that he wasn't a stripper, but he did work at a place called Beefcakes, which was a gay bar, which is like stripping, except you just stand there in your jockstrap and kind of do a toe touch. That's exactly right. He didn't, he wasn't taking off clothes actively. He just was already stripping.

just a go-go dancer, just standing there. So Zarina's like, well, I think on next night out, I'll probably give it a good old go. And Marina's like, bitch, you have to fight me for that. It's like, oh, okay. So Zarina's like, but I don't have to fight for a man.

Marina's passive aggression is so funny. She's like, do you mind if I eat some cake? It's like, damn, she's doing it. She sounds so villainous. And then Serena tells us, oh, honey, I don't have to fight for a man. I have trails of candy. Fight it. And Marina just goes, oh, is this truffled? It's very strong. It's like, oh, no. I would never want a big old game.

I know, I would never want to make out with someone who puts so much truffle in a dish, am I right, Vihan? So Zarina's like, fuck off. Meanwhile, there's a trail of 25th anniversary cakes in the hallway leading to her doorway now.

So now the next day, Serena sees Vianne and she's like, did you sleep well? And he's like, yeah, I feel good. It's weird because I slept on a sheet of Snickers. There were Snickers all over my mattress. He's like, it feels great, doesn't it? Doesn't it feel good to be loved? Well, I was shattered last night, you know, so I might see a masseuse come to the boat.

And he's like, well, I'm a good masseuse. And she goes, well, I'd rather not get in a fight with a certain Brazilian person who doesn't understand truffles. He's like, I didn't realize Daryl Hannah was Brazilian. No, not her, you idiot Marina. Oh, I see. She's put her foot down with me. Oh, really? Did you put your foot down also? She's like, no. How do you feel about it all? He's like, well, to be very honest with you, I like the fact that women are fighting over you. No, no, no.

I like the fact that neither of you are a dare because I still have a shot with her. Oh, come on, shut up. He says he likes it. She asked him out for a drink because, you know, he basically wants like a French bread pizza from Weight Watchers. Just low effort. Okay. It's like, I don't care. It's easier to just microwave this shit. I'm getting it.

And so then we cut to, but he's like, but it's not like she's my girlfriend or anything, you know? And so then Marina is talking about him to Lara and she's like, you know, yesterday I had my hair put some perfume, blah, blah, blah. And I come out and Vian passed me and he didn't even look in my eyes. And I'm like, okay, fine, man. And Lara's like, oh my God, I think they're like gods. Jeez. Yeah.

So then Zarina's telling Vian, you know, honestly, I can't stop having it, which I think is a little bit of a crush. And he's like, oh, yeah, well, I don't really know what to say about that. Do you want to ask me out on a date? So meanwhile, Adair and Johnny are dealing with the jet ski. And she's like, hey, y'all, I'm going to get this crane up over the boat. OK, look. Oh, geez, there's moonshine in that jet ski. And he's like, no, I think that is just water. I think we have to drain the water. Are you sure it's not moonshine?

pretty sure it's just water. So Vian's like, why is it like this? And she's like, well, she's lame and weird, that's for sure. And he goes, yeah, just drop it.

And she's like, uh, okay, well cable up, I'm going to lower it. And Johnny's like, uh, should we bring that jet ski down? And she's like, yeah, I'm worried. I mean, that thing is leaking like a horse after a long trip. I mean, come on. What if they hit something out there or the one with the law, the short hair can't swim, which listen, if you can't swim, don't go on things in the middle of the ocean. Don't go on water toys. And I'm not shaming people for not knowing how to swim. I'm shaming people for not knowing how to swim and then going into the middle of the water.

Don't do that. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I can't ski. So I'm not going to like, just grab onto someone who can ski and then just like go down a slope with them. It's like, I just, there will be no skiing for me. That's scary. I can swim. And I went on one of those excursion things on a cruise one time where we were like snorkel or whatever. And look at that. First of all, there was no underwater creatures. I don't know where the hell they all were. They probably saw me above them. And they're like, this is what it looks like when a rondel comes to eat you. Yeah.

So they ran away. I never saw them. But that water was rough. I could not swim. I was like, I'm going to die here. I'm going to die here in very shallow waters with my mom looking on in the smirk on her face. Like I paid for the swim lessons, you idiot. But I didn't die. But I'm still scared of going back out there. That shit's strong. So in other words, yeah, don't go in the middle of the ocean if you don't know how to swim.

Yeah. So Adara's like, is this, is a water, is water supposed to be completely filled on the inside of a jet ski? Now I'm nervous, honestly. And then Vian's like, oh no, it's very, it's, it's not an uncommon thing. I've seen this before so many times at Beefcakes. There would just be like water in places that wasn't supposed to be. Just get them up, you know, turn on the valves. I mean, if it starts leaking, it means you're doing your job.

That's how we send it to beefcakes. Like, wait a minute. So I don't think it's supposed to be filled on the inside of the jet ski. He goes, yes, that's why there's valves. You let the water drain. I'm not too concerned about it. And so they're like, okay, so now it's jet ski time. And Johnny takes India. She's the girl with the short hair on a jet ski. And then it starts toppling over and they fall in the water and she's freaking out.

And they make it look really scary because they just keep the, like, there's like a GoPro on the jet ski and the jet skis like tumbling around in the ocean. So it looks like India just died and she's fine. She's got a life preserver on Johnny's right there. They're going to climb back on, but you know, they make it look terrible. And I mean, it's scary for her and I'm sure I'm, I hope the young gets in trouble for disregarding safety practices, but I guess we'll have to wait till next week to see what happens. Imagine next week. They're like,

And that was the first passenger on Below Deck to die. It's like, oh, whoa, never mind. Yeah, geez, give us some warning before we make fun of these people every week. All right, everybody.

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I

I would define reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen, and ultimately you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect me to be chatting with folks, both recognizable and unrecognizable names, about the way that people have navigated roads to triumph.

My hope is that people will finish an episode of Reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up. They connected with the people that I'm talking to and leave with maybe some nuggets that help them feel a little more hopeful.
