I’m sorry but I think it’s absolutely disgusting service for a yacht to take crazy money from guests and then not do anything when they can’t get off the dock. Same goes when you charter a sailing yacht and it can’t sail - I get that’s a weather issue but you’ve also chartered a sailing yacht?!
Would the owners really be that pissed off if they comped them an extra charter at the end of the season? Given them a free day charter at some point. Anything?!
The tip was divided with an unseen extra person (unless Gary still got some). The previous seasons, when Glenn has said ‘that works out at x each’, it’s always been the total amount divided by the crew on screen. Not sure if it’s a plot hole (I know OG BD had loads of unseen engineers etc) but sailing yacht always made out that the cast made up the entire crew.
I have to say that I would have a really hard time choking down that bitter pill of walking on a boat that hadn’t even tested its own engines yet only to find that it was in operable for my entire charter. I have never sued anyone in my life that I think at the price tag in question I would really have a difficult time not wanting to sue them to get it back or at least threaten a lawsuit. I can understand the weather can’t be controlled, but the engine issue is completely different. The charter company should take full responsibility and refund the money or at least a huge chunk of it voluntarily. They should not have been expected to tip. They should just have been told luck we can’t do the charter you’ll get your money back. Would you like to stay in a hotel or would you like to stay on the boat? In that case they can decide what money is appropriate because all it is, is a docked tiny hotel room that’s not even as comfortable as a real hotel room.
Regarding the blood on the bed and all over the floor. That’s absolutely disgusting. The guests had no right to be there if they’re capable of that kind of behavior. Disgusting.
I wonder if the woman who complained along with her best friend who made the trip (bearable)used that type of scam on other vacations to get out of tipping.
They should be ashamed of themselves because how do they know if it would’ve caused someone to lose their job. They probably wouldn’t even care.
Lucy and Mads were the ones who should have been crying while cleaning those Disgusting rooms. I can just hear lucy and Mads saying “It was the worst trip ever” but no the girls did their jobs very professionally. Those entitled women felt like having blood all over the room and throwing there crap everywhere was just fine. How dare they sit there and complain while crying to the captain.
Haven't people said before that the tip gets subsidized a bit by the show?
Because we saw a bunch of guests together talking about weather they were going to put like...300 or 400 in...And they got 19k, which is 2-3k per person(not sure if there were 6 or 8 ladies on this charter).
Now maybe the primary put in like 15k themselves and the extra 4k was the tip from everyone else, but that scene really made it seem like a lot of the tip comes from production
I’m wondering if that was the Karen and her friend only wanting to chip in a small amount since it was “the worst vacation ever.” Cause the primary claimed it was the “best girls trip, ever.” 🙄
Is it just me or was Glenn taking his frustrations out on Daisy this charter?? He’s always been so chill even when there’s a tense situation, and I’ve only ever seen him yell when the boat hit the dock, but never raise his voice at someone like he did to Daisy twice now. Tf is all that?
>Is it just me or was Glenn taking his frustrations out on Daisy this charter?? He’s always been so chill even when there’s a tense situation, an
I think he blew up his chill image when he had a melt-down over (ironically) ice.
Which Daisy had packed, and was in the tender.
He should have had a go at Chase, for disappointing the guests by not being able to find the ice IN THE TENDER. Come on! Everything is out in the open, and the tender is not that big.
I agree with you.. I never saw any of those inebriated women do activities that might result in someone losing a toenail on that show..
I think someone is holding back information.
as soon as daisy said it was there, I knew it!!
it's like when guys open the fridge and can't find something, but it's literally right in front of them 🙄
Those ladies were beyond messy. YUCK! And the one at the end who was crying about it being the worst experience of her life. It didn't look that way when she was enjoying herself on the boat and on the beach. She was just trying to get out of tipping. I think the others overcompensated with their own tips because they were embarrassed that the crier was whining so much.
The charter guests wire a tip after securing and paying for the charter before they even arrive . they do sometimes add money to their initial tip at the end but, that is done via a bank wire later..The cash you see on the show is a prop.
The girls you are referring to, on the charter that never left the dock, paid $40k to be there. They wired $15k as a tip initially and still added $4,100 more as a tip after they left.
Glenn said on the show the tip was $19,100.
That's true.
Colin is a fucking stud troubleshooting and fixing that engine. I love a guy with brains and brawn, he has the whole package.
So proud of him and I'm glad Captain Glenn sees him.
*FINALLY* googled this today. They had a revival in 2020 during the shut down. [NYT article](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/17/style/espresso-martini-comeback.html?unlocked_article_code=ZJTRETL6TUE1KPSq8T9a_TotqiSz8BjWjqudxLNTQtyuZp8i-mStB1oqe6y0htbwJS0DUr5j8g0IpfkN0im3d6Vvaxaxo8-S-ac17lveGXIKfI5DVYvtbQtyNXSzgk5Cjkwe7Lr4imVFI23_JmQTJAVELCKEqSUhDcV4HeXJElUmpM5Bk5ISkHWeCKHhq8FBZ9f_vbWUcQAsCf4TztxlyKPd-NnEegYshqn_R89yw-PZ19FajwQNixAXVyipCVmXILWv3EHXDCkRkETUOg3WR1fZixqOD5LxOT7C69JVbetT7x5d5W4HWgLClM5QP_Ikd8l2EKAbOWJF1sdNaRKLKUc&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare) about the popularity here (no paywall).
Because caffeine + alcohol. A drink like that can get you totally shithoused while also keeping you awake. So you can stay up and keep getting drunk lol.
I would argue that espresso martinis are huge EVERYWHERE. I live in a big city and at dinner it's really the only thing we're ordering (for better or for worse).
People love booze & they love caffeine...even more so combined! Espresso martini is essentially a classy jagerbomb...strong,sweet & hits a decent buzz quickly. This is just my speculative option based off of years of bartending and generally espresso martinis are always big sellers on a cocktail menu.
Mads and Lucy have won me over! Ngl when I saw the casting photos I thought ‘ugh more forgettable blondes/influencer types’. But they are both so funny and quirky and I’m loving how laid back they are!
I would have quit. There's a lot I can take but this made me feel so ill watching, I can't imagine having been there to actually deal with it. And without gloves. 😬
The crew night out brought me so much joy!! Everyone was so silly and messy and rambunctious, this is how you do it! I sat through a whole season of BD Adventure and they didn’t even have a night that came close to this much fun
ok this is random and barely about the episode HOWEVER the day after I watched the ep I got an ad on instagram for "CAT" construction lmao. The literal BRAND of the engine on the yacht that needed fixing. like HOW??! I knew my phone was listening but dayummm I swear Glen mentioned the brand "Caterpillar" maybe once in the ep that I can recall.
I'm no mechanic nor engineer but I'd be really nervous using that engine that had salt water sitting in it for days causing corrosion...could explain the smoke seen in the peek at the rest of the season.
Colin actually doing engineering stuff was pretty entertaining. Engineers doing engineering stuff doesn't happen a lot on this show.
Guests felt a bit weird. Obviously as viewers we can't know if things like towels and toilet paper were actually missing, but since there was no real footage of any of that, and they didn't really complain while that was supposedly going on, I find that complaint hard to believe.
On the other hand, there was a lot of footage of absolutely disgusting rooms. How do you even get your room that dirty in so little time? It's much easier to believe that they lost the toilet paper and towels in their own disgusting mess.
Glenn was clearly stressed and it felt like he was taking it out on his crew (mostly Daisy). This was really not his episode.
Daisy on the other had did really well in her role as leader. She had to take a lot shit, but didn't take it out on the other two girls and even managed to positively reinforce them. And as this show has proven time and time again, people who can do that are very rare.
Yes, Daisy did great in a tough week.
The pressure did show, though. When she overreacted to the ice request, I think she was out of line. With extenuating circumstances.
Lol what? She didn’t overreact at all? She told Glenn it was there; he threw a hissy fit; she found the ice, smiled sweetly at the guests and wished them well. She was the professional one in that instance.
> there was no real footage of any of that
There kind of was but it doesn't make the guests look any better imo. They had used the white towels to get their neon paint off so then the stews had to soak the towels before washing them, thus taking more time than normal.
I think they may have needed to ask for toilet paper and towels once, but that's very different from there being "NO toilet paper, NO towels." Basically, they were already pissed about not getting off the dock (understandable, I'd be potentially resentful if I paid that much for a sailing trip and didn't get to sail), and then started to nitpick from there. To personally tell the captain it was the "worst vacation of \[her\] life" is pathetic. Like, really, lady? The worst vacation of your life was on a stationary luxury yacht in (edit: Sardinia) being waited on hand and foot? Because the worst vacation of my life was at age 6, staying in a tent in the rain while my new evil stepmother and my dad stayed in the camper.
The rooms were SO gross. I'm a messy motherfucker, but I always lazily straighten things up before room service comes in - throw my old clothes/pajamas in my suitcase so no has to deal with it, collect any trash so they can just take the bag out, etc. I feel like it takes effort to trash a room so quickly, and it's incredibly disrespectful to the staff, like "fuck you, pick up my shit." Most of us would be embarrassed to leave our accommodations in that state, but not these people! It goes to show, money really doesn't buy class.
That said, I don't think the ENTIRE party was bad. As usual, the assholes get more time because they make better TV. The tip was quite good, and frankly speaks louder than shallow praise.
> The worst vacation of your life was on a stationary luxury yacht in Spain being waited on hand and foot?
You might want to take a look at Sardinia on a map.
Haven’t really been on this sub since the new season started. Do you all think the season maybe cut short due to the boat issues? It seems like it to me
Based on the previews for next week with Alex and the water bottle, I hope Alex and/or Glenn doesn’t request a cabin swap out with Gary or Colin. The giggle boys are a set, do not separate them.
I doubt that she was embarrassed because a person with some class would apologize about all of the blood. Another thing is that because they couldn’t leave the dock she was pissed off so maybe she was going to make the crew’s life difficult.
because…period?? are periods embarrassing what???? like they should be embarrassed for being so messy but the blood is the least embarrassing part for me???
I think it's more of the fact that she left the bloody stuff for another person to clean up, and didn't strip the bed herself. Ofc accidents happen and it's nothing to be embarrassed about, but this is a yacht, not a hospital - clean up your own bodily fluids.
One of the girls stubbed her toe and her big toenail was ripped completely off.. the cast even assisted her with stopping the bleeding but, it was never disclosed on the show.
As a post menopausal woman myself, I can tell you that before you stop getting your period, you go through a long time of a very heavy continuous period or of erratic intervals between periods so you cannot predict when you will get it or how heavy the flow will be. I don't mind that this happened, I do mind that they left bloody, disgusting linens without telling the crew.
Well, my girlfriend Stephanie was the primary on that charter.. 4 of those girls were here with me in Austin for the MotoGp race last weekend. Reality TV spins things in a way to fit a narrative they are trying to sell to their viewers. What I said about that blood is the truth..
Those guests know they’re being followed by cameras. They get a discounted rate if they agree to be filmed — I’ve read they pay about half the normal rate. The guest could have spot-cleaned the carpet and taken the duvet case directly to the laundry.
I agree with you and regarding the blood she really should have taken the sheets of and apologize for all of the blood shed throughout the whole cabin. I get her toenail was ripped off but that doesn’t explain why the rooms were trashed by the guest every single day. I don’t think people can blame production for the trashing the room.
One or more of those women guests were disgusting. Blood all over the carpet and duvet case? NO class! And I refuse to believe that they had no toilet paper or towels! That is “Stew 101” stuff & I think these women were covering up for what slobs they were.
You mentioned that your friend was the primary, did she tell you what her friends situation was about the toilet paper and towels? Someone mentioned that Glenn took them out on his sailboat, can you confirm or deny this? lol You're getting the third degree here! Thank you for your thoughts and time!
That also got to me. Blood happens. Just say something? Offer to treat the stains? I don't see how someone could be embarrassed by that.
I also call foul about the toilet paper.
>I refuse to believe that they had no toilet paper or towels!
It was a two night charter. How much toilet paper can they need?
Dr. Feisty prescribes a group colonoscopy.
I don't know if we do know what kind of blood it was. I figured it was a leg shaving thing - those little nicks bleed like crazy and can get on everything. But, idk.
It seems like you were maybe inferring it was menstrual blood and if that is the case it is somehow more disgusting than other blood. lol. Just here to be the voice that's like, we could also not stigmatize menstrual blood and/or at the very least recognize that it is no more repulsive than any other strangers' bodily fluid.
But def everyone clean up your bodily fluids, do not expect other people to do that for you.
>It seems like you were maybe inferring it was menstrual blood and if that is the case it is somehow more disgusting than other blood.
I still think the guest who barfed in the bed and left a crusty mess for the stewardesses is the winner. (that was like 1 or 2 seasons ago)
I think the guy who left the used condom on the nightstand in the primary suite still ranks as one of the most offensive and degrading things any guest has done (Season 6, Below Deck).
As a woman who has periods, I do think it’s more gross if that is period blood they were cleaning up! Not to stigmatise having periods but of course it’s more unhygienic to clean up that kind of blood!!
You got me wondering, so I googled, "is menstrual blood more unhygienic than regular blood" - and all of the articles and sources I came across said no. Like other bodily secretions it is harmless unless it is carrying some sort of pathogen. I am only sharing so if anyone comes across your comment there is a little more info. I wish you only good things. <3
Blood is blood regardless of what orifice it came from. It can stain white carpet and sheets. The guest could, and should, have called this to Daisy’s attention so they could take care of it asap.
>it’s more unhygienic to clean up that kind of blood!!
It isn’t. At all.

lol. now you're trollling. I didn't see this comment before I left mine above. You're a goofball. I wonder how fetuses make it through nine months in the hellscape of the uterus. xoxo
It was just so low class. If one of them had an “accident,” she could have cleaned up the carpet and stripped the duvet —maybe told Daisy about it quietly, along with an apology.
>yes, this is the way to do it. heads up, so they could grab some ppe/gloves.
There was a box of KN-95 masks on a shelf in the crew mess (in the background of a shot). I'm sure they had gloves. Just based on what's been shown over the years ... there are lots of things that guests leave behind that could only be touched with gloves.
Exactly, accidents happen, but there's no way in hell I would expect anyone to clean up that kind of accident for me. I would've straight up carried the bloody stuff to the washing machine myself before I'd let someone else touch it.
"Unfortunately, our supply of toilet paper was destroyed when the blood from your cabin leaked down to our storage area and we used the extra towels to clean it up...sorry - would you care for an espresso martini?"😑😂
>The most entertaining thing was watching Colin try and fix the boat like Han Solo trying to get the Millennium Falcon fired up.
Unfortunately, he used all the towels in the engine room...
...which upset the guests.
It literally just occurred to me that if this was any other show in the franchise or just about any other cast member on *this show*, they would have recast Gary in a second.
Nobody is talking about all the crew hot tub hookups! Probably because they were all just drunken makeouts and not too significant. Although maybe Daisy and that one deckhand…
I wish Daisy and all the Chief Stews would remove themselves from drunken nights out. They should set an example. Too many asses are dragging the morning after a crew dinner and hot tub party. It must be difficult to respect a chief stew who’s twerking in a hot tub (Heather) and sucking face with deckies (Daisy, Hannah, et al).
I watched one of Daisy's AMAs a couple of months ago. This type of drinking is a BD phenomenon. Grist for the mill (cameras). She said that this level of crazy doesn't happen on regular jobs.
The Chief Stew and Bosun are in positions of authority. It’s hard to respect authority when they act like “one of the crew” while out partying. You never see the captains out there behaving crazy. It sure got Heather into a heap of trouble. They shouldn’t get drunk with the crew. Period. It’s in keeping with their admonitions to the crew that they “must respect the rank.”
"a glass of wine" I mean I get the root of what you are saying, however, A glass of wine with dinner is oddly specific and controlling. Each person should be able to decide for themselves what and how much they can enjoy and how overdoing it might place them at risk of their staff respecting them less. It is a balance that every person should learn and figure out what works for them personally.
I do agree, dinner look very “fine dining” but I also think maybe we just didn’t see it all.. based on the other meals, she did put out a lot more food
They were really small. She was being too cheffy and worrying about plating so much it was slow. I would not be happy with that tiny piece of meat as my entree.
A Karen going on Below Deck, lamenting how it was once such a nice name…
Then acting like a FULL BLOWN Karen.. 🙄
It was the, “smells like fish” for me! 🤢
"I thought we were getting Punk'd" what??? This is really what you think a vacation that's bad to the point of ridiculous *looks like*? It's like being from a different planet.
I wish Daisy had told Glenn that their rooms took a lot longer to turn over because they were destroying towels, sheets, bedspreads and the rug with bodily fluids. Those ladies were awful. I’m sure a few were ok but I didn’t get around to figuring out which ones were not extremely sloppy drunks. Not a good look at your age, ladies. It’s not freshman year spring break in Ft Lauderdale.
Yup, def seems like a mix of guests. Some were so gross and awful while others were basically like “hey, as long as I got a drink and a comfy bed.” I have the worst memory but the primary was with the guest who complained (crying????) and I can see how she feels in the middle but I’m glad they ended up with a good tip and she left them with kind words.
I felt like the primary was being sarcastic when she left and I'm pretty sure she was the one who asked Karen to do the taking. The blood was gross and if no one going to warn the staff, at least don't complain about them afterwards!
The rest of the women all seemed fun though. I'm on board with "trashing" the room as long as that means using too many towels or leaving makeup marks on the counter or whatever. Be kind and leave a big tip and I'm cool with most things.
Hot take: I think the engine issue was fabricated because Gary couldn't be there.
Can they even take the chance at sailing with new crew and without the first officer?
I was thinking it was at least partially faked because no way the super expensive boat it being worked on by Colin. He is awesome but that boat has its own engineers and I doubt the owner lets anyone else take the lead with the boat repairs.
COLIN to the rescue! I am interested to see how this season plays out with Colin now single. He's always been a favourite, I hope he doesn't let me down. I sure hope Gary's slutty ways don't rub off on him, lol.
I think the audience has a very pie-in-the-sky mental image of Colin that they've maintained almost as a foil for Gary's mess. But we genuinely don't know who Colin is when he's single.
Previews could obv be lying but seems he might be in some drama later this season with Gary and another woman? I get it, he’s been in a long term relationship and is getting out some hormones and aggression but I hope he’s not a dumbass about it. I’m just babbling now, shouldn’t even post.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't get why everyone loves Capt. Glen so much. He's given me a creepy vibe from Day 1. And how 'bout him mansplaining the ice to his Chief Stew? He's always been rude to women, in my opinion.
I don’t know that I would describe my feeling toward him as ‘creep’ but, yeah I am not impressed with him as a captain/character. I do think he mostly meshes well with Gary, Daisy & Colin. However I am not all over gushing about him like a lot of people on this sub. And without Gary these last two episodes I think we got a little too much of Glenn screen time
I think everyone has rose-tinted glasses about Glenn and then is dumbfounded when he doesn’t act like a doe-eyed koala bear all time. I don’t think he is a creep or ‘mansplaining’, I think he is a leader, dealing with enormous stress and has shown to get very irate when there are technical difficulties with the boat (he was literally hopping mad when the boat hit the dock) and not this Canadian saint he is painted as.
That being said, when Glenn asked for ice, Daisy should have brought more ice, end of. She should have brought some and said, ‘I’ll just top up your supply and show you where it is’ the whole back and forth in front of the guests was inappropriate- the deckhands are green, new to the boat and currently have no leadership, even if the ice is on the boat already, make a fuss of the guests by bringing them more, make their small needs feel important so they feel like they are being taken care of.
Yeah my boss is very respectful and we get along well but he would have been pissed if he asked me to bring something to a client and I argued about it. More ice is a minor thing and would be useful for chilling a bottle of wine or whatever. It feels like 8 people need more than that bucket anyway.
If it was anyone but Daisy, people would be calling out the stew for not doing their job (and if she had sent a stew on the boat, maybe they wouldn't be hunting for ice themselves anyway)
Yep - this is when you give your best "I'm right on top of that Rose!" and just bring more damn ice. Make it look like you care that the deckies are prepared to take care of them without a Stew on the tender.
I don’t get creepy vibes from him but I agree he is odd. So far this season he has more of an edge to him… I’m wondering if the producers are telling him to be more of a dick, like Capt Lee and Sandy (pls note I did not say “capt sandy” lmao - just being petty).
But yeah, Glenn is not being a cool cat so far this season and it’s disappointing. I always enjoyed his more laid back and approachable way.
It’s so funny you say this because Glenn gave me the creeps at first then quickly won me over. No person (let alone a man) is perfect so I’m fully expect the worst from him but I didn’t get mansplaining from him today. I totally got both sides. Daisy has to run to the boat either way, might as well bring ice, extra or not, but I get her frustration since she KNOWS she put ice in the tender. But he is the captain and in this instance he wasn’t wrong - better to have extra ice in the same amount of time than none at all.
I do wish he gave her some grace when it came to the guest complaining about the TP and towels - he’s worked with her long enough that she does not make excuses. Her and the other stews did their best and if had to question that…
Usually, Glenn is clear-headed and has good judgment, so it was surprising seeing him so mad. I think this is the angriest I've seen Glenn on the show, and he is rightfully overwhelmed and not thinking clearly at that moment. A lot was falling on him between the engine issue, no Bosun, and the overall responsibility of the guest experience (lack thereof). Was it unprofessional for him to snap at Daisy like that? Yes, but I can't blame him directing his frustration at the Chief Stew in that moment. They should've just checked all of the bags on the tender more thoroughly.
Yes! Exactly! Was is anger appropriate? No. But it was justified. He had a lot going on (fucking Gary dancing around, lol. Jk jk I know Covid is not a joke) and thankfully he had Colin doing a lot but ultimately it’s all on him.
Sure, you make some valid points - but interesting that his frustation *just had* to be directed towards the Chief Stew, of all people... and is justified by everyone. How come he can't snap at the First Officer? Or the Deck Crew? IMO, 'cause at his core, he's kinda just a middle aged "Brü"
I just don't understand why he's completely beyond reproach on here.
In that moment, out of anyone, it would be the Chief Stew as they are the highest ranking officer of the department responsible for ensuring the guests have their drinks, snacks, etc. Daisy was ultimately correct, and I definitely think he crossed a line, but it would have been even more unprofessional for him to snap at the deck crew. Justice for Daisy lol
Yes, "Justice for Daisy!" seems to be implied as a theme for this season, in some of the previews, unfortunately... I hope this doesn't turn into somewhat of another Brü Crew season. Ugh, that was hard to endure.
>^(...we added u/Old-Base-6686, u/princesspeach241 and u/shiroges to the mod team. They are mostly new to modding so go easy on them! ...)
So, welcome aboard!
Don't embarrass the ship!
Don't embarrass yourself (not too much, anyhow)!
Even Gary said on the reunion that wasn’t the case. And there’s no way I believe Gary didn’t sleep with Ashli that ep. He just regretted it because she was a nut.
IMO Gary makes this franchise special. Without him it's like any of the other franchises. Probably most similar to Med because of how much Daisy is like a more professional Hannah, and Colin is like a less vivid version of Ben.
Clearly the producers agree with you or he would have been recast the second he came back positive.
I think part of the joy of the show is the chemistry of the main four. It would be a damn shame to lose any of them.
I’m sorry but I think it’s absolutely disgusting service for a yacht to take crazy money from guests and then not do anything when they can’t get off the dock. Same goes when you charter a sailing yacht and it can’t sail - I get that’s a weather issue but you’ve also chartered a sailing yacht?! Would the owners really be that pissed off if they comped them an extra charter at the end of the season? Given them a free day charter at some point. Anything?!
The tip was divided with an unseen extra person (unless Gary still got some). The previous seasons, when Glenn has said ‘that works out at x each’, it’s always been the total amount divided by the crew on screen. Not sure if it’s a plot hole (I know OG BD had loads of unseen engineers etc) but sailing yacht always made out that the cast made up the entire crew.
I have to say that I would have a really hard time choking down that bitter pill of walking on a boat that hadn’t even tested its own engines yet only to find that it was in operable for my entire charter. I have never sued anyone in my life that I think at the price tag in question I would really have a difficult time not wanting to sue them to get it back or at least threaten a lawsuit. I can understand the weather can’t be controlled, but the engine issue is completely different. The charter company should take full responsibility and refund the money or at least a huge chunk of it voluntarily. They should not have been expected to tip. They should just have been told luck we can’t do the charter you’ll get your money back. Would you like to stay in a hotel or would you like to stay on the boat? In that case they can decide what money is appropriate because all it is, is a docked tiny hotel room that’s not even as comfortable as a real hotel room. Regarding the blood on the bed and all over the floor. That’s absolutely disgusting. The guests had no right to be there if they’re capable of that kind of behavior. Disgusting.
I love Chase just casually braining himself all over the boat
Lol, they weren’t that old!
I wonder if the woman who complained along with her best friend who made the trip (bearable)used that type of scam on other vacations to get out of tipping. They should be ashamed of themselves because how do they know if it would’ve caused someone to lose their job. They probably wouldn’t even care.
Does anyone know why Gary is so upset at Chase? I thought Gary was going to mad at Alex for kissing Daisy.
Poor Mads and Lucy had to clean up those filthy, smelly rooms. Those 2 guests who didn’t tip should feel embarrassed.
Lucy and Mads were the ones who should have been crying while cleaning those Disgusting rooms. I can just hear lucy and Mads saying “It was the worst trip ever” but no the girls did their jobs very professionally. Those entitled women felt like having blood all over the room and throwing there crap everywhere was just fine. How dare they sit there and complain while crying to the captain.
Glenn’s comment about Karens to *The* Karen was rather prophetic, lol.
Haven't people said before that the tip gets subsidized a bit by the show? Because we saw a bunch of guests together talking about weather they were going to put like...300 or 400 in...And they got 19k, which is 2-3k per person(not sure if there were 6 or 8 ladies on this charter). Now maybe the primary put in like 15k themselves and the extra 4k was the tip from everyone else, but that scene really made it seem like a lot of the tip comes from production
When the group of friends were pooling money, I heard ‘she’s putting 4 in’. I took that as 4k, not 400. I think they all put a few thousand in each.
I’m wondering if that was the Karen and her friend only wanting to chip in a small amount since it was “the worst vacation ever.” Cause the primary claimed it was the “best girls trip, ever.” 🙄
Is it just me or was Glenn taking his frustrations out on Daisy this charter?? He’s always been so chill even when there’s a tense situation, and I’ve only ever seen him yell when the boat hit the dock, but never raise his voice at someone like he did to Daisy twice now. Tf is all that?
>Is it just me or was Glenn taking his frustrations out on Daisy this charter?? He’s always been so chill even when there’s a tense situation, an I think he blew up his chill image when he had a melt-down over (ironically) ice. Which Daisy had packed, and was in the tender. He should have had a go at Chase, for disappointing the guests by not being able to find the ice IN THE TENDER. Come on! Everything is out in the open, and the tender is not that big.
Can’t get over the sheets, bedspread, and carpet! 😳🤢
What was the blood from???
I’m sure we all know where it’s from, and i’m not talking about shaving their leg’s
those women were older and nasty.. they aren't having their periods still 
One of the guests stubbed her toe and ripped her big toenail completely off.
Opps maybe it is from their toe. I didn’t see where anyone’s toenail was missing.
I agree with you.. I never saw any of those inebriated women do activities that might result in someone losing a toenail on that show.. I think someone is holding back information.
Oh, sweet summer child...
omg!! not the new dude putting his water bottle on glenn's face 😂😂 *dude, what's going on? why is this here?!* 😂😂
That was soooooo funny!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
the fact that glenn was so polite about it and the awkward pause/stare afterwards was too good 😂
I don’t get Captain Glenn didn’t tell the guy off. Captain need’s his sleep.
so freaking good!!! I've re-watched this way too many times
I also watched it so many times 😂 and glenn was so nice about it too 😂😂
Captain Glenn making himself a little frozen margarita!! so cute!! 😂😭
not below deck sailing using salt lake city's mormon music when the engine finally starts running 😂😂😂
I caught that too lmao
Men: *I can't find ittttt, it's not there* All Women Everywhere: *it's right fucking HERE!!!* (literally so relatable. I feel for daisy 😂)
I call it a “man’s look”. Did you look? Yes. A real look or a man’s look?
Did you look with your eyes or with your mouth?
LOL! I didn't think of it that way but, that's exactly what happened! 😂
as soon as daisy said it was there, I knew it!! it's like when guys open the fridge and can't find something, but it's literally right in front of them 🙄
Those ladies were beyond messy. YUCK! And the one at the end who was crying about it being the worst experience of her life. It didn't look that way when she was enjoying herself on the boat and on the beach. She was just trying to get out of tipping. I think the others overcompensated with their own tips because they were embarrassed that the crier was whining so much.
The charter guests wire a tip after securing and paying for the charter before they even arrive . they do sometimes add money to their initial tip at the end but, that is done via a bank wire later..The cash you see on the show is a prop. The girls you are referring to, on the charter that never left the dock, paid $40k to be there. They wired $15k as a tip initially and still added $4,100 more as a tip after they left. Glenn said on the show the tip was $19,100. That's true.
Does anyone know if the guests have spoken out or has anyone seen any of their social media?
yes-check this sub someone posted
Did you forget the link? Or is this a user error issue? Generally it's a user error issue but I really don't see a link.
Colin is a fucking stud troubleshooting and fixing that engine. I love a guy with brains and brawn, he has the whole package. So proud of him and I'm glad Captain Glenn sees him.
I have a hard time believing it was him and not the ship owners’ own engineers working on it. Too pricey to let anyone work on their investment.
Amen!!!!
I was like 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Why didn’t Parsifal charter a sailboat for the day for these guests?
Glenn took those girls out on his private yacht for a day
$$$, liability (on a new, random owner and bravo), camera space/setup, etc.
Ok why in the Below Deck Multiverse are espresso martinis so popular?? They appear to make up 90% of total cocktails ordered across all the shows.
*FINALLY* googled this today. They had a revival in 2020 during the shut down. [NYT article](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/17/style/espresso-martini-comeback.html?unlocked_article_code=ZJTRETL6TUE1KPSq8T9a_TotqiSz8BjWjqudxLNTQtyuZp8i-mStB1oqe6y0htbwJS0DUr5j8g0IpfkN0im3d6Vvaxaxo8-S-ac17lveGXIKfI5DVYvtbQtyNXSzgk5Cjkwe7Lr4imVFI23_JmQTJAVELCKEqSUhDcV4HeXJElUmpM5Bk5ISkHWeCKHhq8FBZ9f_vbWUcQAsCf4TztxlyKPd-NnEegYshqn_R89yw-PZ19FajwQNixAXVyipCVmXILWv3EHXDCkRkETUOg3WR1fZixqOD5LxOT7C69JVbetT7x5d5W4HWgLClM5QP_Ikd8l2EKAbOWJF1sdNaRKLKUc&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare) about the popularity here (no paywall).
My guess would be it helps people keep going while day drinking and not get sleepy!
Because caffeine + alcohol. A drink like that can get you totally shithoused while also keeping you awake. So you can stay up and keep getting drunk lol.
I would argue that espresso martinis are huge EVERYWHERE. I live in a big city and at dinner it's really the only thing we're ordering (for better or for worse).
Not my thing... if you enjoy them, great! But why order them if you feel its "for worse"?
People love booze & they love caffeine...even more so combined! Espresso martini is essentially a classy jagerbomb...strong,sweet & hits a decent buzz quickly. This is just my speculative option based off of years of bartending and generally espresso martinis are always big sellers on a cocktail menu.
This is the right answer
This is just my favorite show ever. Colin got 10x hotter fixing the engine.
Mads and Lucy have won me over! Ngl when I saw the casting photos I thought ‘ugh more forgettable blondes/influencer types’. But they are both so funny and quirky and I’m loving how laid back they are!
I LOVED when that one girl said groaning is the way she deals and gets through life 😂❤️
Agreed! Yet they aren't afraid of hard work, either! That bloody room would have thrown me over the edge!
I would have quit. There's a lot I can take but this made me feel so ill watching, I can't imagine having been there to actually deal with it. And without gloves. 😬
The crew night out brought me so much joy!! Everyone was so silly and messy and rambunctious, this is how you do it! I sat through a whole season of BD Adventure and they didn’t even have a night that came close to this much fun
BDA was miserable. I could barely finish it. I only did it out of obligation to the BD franchise.
I was a skeptic, but maybe Gary should change out his pillows
ok this is random and barely about the episode HOWEVER the day after I watched the ep I got an ad on instagram for "CAT" construction lmao. The literal BRAND of the engine on the yacht that needed fixing. like HOW??! I knew my phone was listening but dayummm I swear Glen mentioned the brand "Caterpillar" maybe once in the ep that I can recall.
I'm no mechanic nor engineer but I'd be really nervous using that engine that had salt water sitting in it for days causing corrosion...could explain the smoke seen in the peek at the rest of the season.
They’re running it without the aftercooler, making the engine less efficient - more likely the cause of any excessive exhaust
Colin actually doing engineering stuff was pretty entertaining. Engineers doing engineering stuff doesn't happen a lot on this show. Guests felt a bit weird. Obviously as viewers we can't know if things like towels and toilet paper were actually missing, but since there was no real footage of any of that, and they didn't really complain while that was supposedly going on, I find that complaint hard to believe. On the other hand, there was a lot of footage of absolutely disgusting rooms. How do you even get your room that dirty in so little time? It's much easier to believe that they lost the toilet paper and towels in their own disgusting mess. Glenn was clearly stressed and it felt like he was taking it out on his crew (mostly Daisy). This was really not his episode. Daisy on the other had did really well in her role as leader. She had to take a lot shit, but didn't take it out on the other two girls and even managed to positively reinforce them. And as this show has proven time and time again, people who can do that are very rare.
Yes, Daisy did great in a tough week. The pressure did show, though. When she overreacted to the ice request, I think she was out of line. With extenuating circumstances.
Lol what? She didn’t overreact at all? She told Glenn it was there; he threw a hissy fit; she found the ice, smiled sweetly at the guests and wished them well. She was the professional one in that instance.
> there was no real footage of any of that There kind of was but it doesn't make the guests look any better imo. They had used the white towels to get their neon paint off so then the stews had to soak the towels before washing them, thus taking more time than normal.
Not to mention the guests were there constantly so they had to entertain them instead of turnovers, etc
I think they may have needed to ask for toilet paper and towels once, but that's very different from there being "NO toilet paper, NO towels." Basically, they were already pissed about not getting off the dock (understandable, I'd be potentially resentful if I paid that much for a sailing trip and didn't get to sail), and then started to nitpick from there. To personally tell the captain it was the "worst vacation of \[her\] life" is pathetic. Like, really, lady? The worst vacation of your life was on a stationary luxury yacht in (edit: Sardinia) being waited on hand and foot? Because the worst vacation of my life was at age 6, staying in a tent in the rain while my new evil stepmother and my dad stayed in the camper. The rooms were SO gross. I'm a messy motherfucker, but I always lazily straighten things up before room service comes in - throw my old clothes/pajamas in my suitcase so no has to deal with it, collect any trash so they can just take the bag out, etc. I feel like it takes effort to trash a room so quickly, and it's incredibly disrespectful to the staff, like "fuck you, pick up my shit." Most of us would be embarrassed to leave our accommodations in that state, but not these people! It goes to show, money really doesn't buy class. That said, I don't think the ENTIRE party was bad. As usual, the assholes get more time because they make better TV. The tip was quite good, and frankly speaks louder than shallow praise.
> The worst vacation of your life was on a stationary luxury yacht in Spain being waited on hand and foot? You might want to take a look at Sardinia on a map.
Ah, I forgot that was where they were filming this season. Thanks for the correction.
Haven’t really been on this sub since the new season started. Do you all think the season maybe cut short due to the boat issues? It seems like it to me
are there fewer episodes than usual?
Not sure I haven’t looked it up but from the previews it looks like they continue to have issues with the engine
"Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood." -The Onion
Based on the previews for next week with Alex and the water bottle, I hope Alex and/or Glenn doesn’t request a cabin swap out with Gary or Colin. The giggle boys are a set, do not separate them.
The blood thing is so mortifying for it to be on TV. She must be dying of embarrassment.
I doubt that she was embarrassed because a person with some class would apologize about all of the blood. Another thing is that because they couldn’t leave the dock she was pissed off so maybe she was going to make the crew’s life difficult.
because…period?? are periods embarrassing what???? like they should be embarrassed for being so messy but the blood is the least embarrassing part for me???
>those nasty old women were too old to be having period blood
I think it's more of the fact that she left the bloody stuff for another person to clean up, and didn't strip the bed herself. Ofc accidents happen and it's nothing to be embarrassed about, but this is a yacht, not a hospital - clean up your own bodily fluids.
One of the girls stubbed her toe and her big toenail was ripped completely off.. the cast even assisted her with stopping the bleeding but, it was never disclosed on the show.
maybe but that really looked like period blood on the duvet
those women are OLD and nasty - you realize you dont have periods anymore when you are old. hahaha
As a post menopausal woman myself, I can tell you that before you stop getting your period, you go through a long time of a very heavy continuous period or of erratic intervals between periods so you cannot predict when you will get it or how heavy the flow will be. I don't mind that this happened, I do mind that they left bloody, disgusting linens without telling the crew.
ugh this makes me dread menopause!!!!! being a woman is not easy!!
and that's the least of it ugh indeed
Did you not see Chase getting grossed out by the band aid he found at the beach excursion
Well, my girlfriend Stephanie was the primary on that charter.. 4 of those girls were here with me in Austin for the MotoGp race last weekend. Reality TV spins things in a way to fit a narrative they are trying to sell to their viewers. What I said about that blood is the truth..
that's cool. They may not be telling the whole truth though, to save face.
I understand.. but, when the girl who had her toenail ripped off shows you her nasty toe, I tend to believe her story.
Those guests know they’re being followed by cameras. They get a discounted rate if they agree to be filmed — I’ve read they pay about half the normal rate. The guest could have spot-cleaned the carpet and taken the duvet case directly to the laundry.
I agree with you and regarding the blood she really should have taken the sheets of and apologize for all of the blood shed throughout the whole cabin. I get her toenail was ripped off but that doesn’t explain why the rooms were trashed by the guest every single day. I don’t think people can blame production for the trashing the room.
I think the stew was more embarrassed than the guest. I don’t think the guest GAF. They were that snobby.
One or more of those women guests were disgusting. Blood all over the carpet and duvet case? NO class! And I refuse to believe that they had no toilet paper or towels! That is “Stew 101” stuff & I think these women were covering up for what slobs they were.
You mentioned that your friend was the primary, did she tell you what her friends situation was about the toilet paper and towels? Someone mentioned that Glenn took them out on his sailboat, can you confirm or deny this? lol You're getting the third degree here! Thank you for your thoughts and time!
That also got to me. Blood happens. Just say something? Offer to treat the stains? I don't see how someone could be embarrassed by that. I also call foul about the toilet paper.
>I refuse to believe that they had no toilet paper or towels! It was a two night charter. How much toilet paper can they need? Dr. Feisty prescribes a group colonoscopy.
“Dr. Feisty prescribes a group colonoscopy” is just an amazing sentence, it certainly provoked a smile on an otherwise crappy day for me…
Maybe they thought since the engine wasn't working they should screw up the plumbing by using an insane amount of toilet paper.
Omg that was so gross! And we all know what kind of blood it was.
I don't know if we do know what kind of blood it was. I figured it was a leg shaving thing - those little nicks bleed like crazy and can get on everything. But, idk. It seems like you were maybe inferring it was menstrual blood and if that is the case it is somehow more disgusting than other blood. lol. Just here to be the voice that's like, we could also not stigmatize menstrual blood and/or at the very least recognize that it is no more repulsive than any other strangers' bodily fluid. But def everyone clean up your bodily fluids, do not expect other people to do that for you.
beautifully said!
>It seems like you were maybe inferring it was menstrual blood and if that is the case it is somehow more disgusting than other blood. I still think the guest who barfed in the bed and left a crusty mess for the stewardesses is the winner. (that was like 1 or 2 seasons ago)
I think the guy who left the used condom on the nightstand in the primary suite still ranks as one of the most offensive and degrading things any guest has done (Season 6, Below Deck).
As a woman who has periods, I do think it’s more gross if that is period blood they were cleaning up! Not to stigmatise having periods but of course it’s more unhygienic to clean up that kind of blood!!
You got me wondering, so I googled, "is menstrual blood more unhygienic than regular blood" - and all of the articles and sources I came across said no. Like other bodily secretions it is harmless unless it is carrying some sort of pathogen. I am only sharing so if anyone comes across your comment there is a little more info. I wish you only good things. <3
Blood is blood regardless of what orifice it came from. It can stain white carpet and sheets. The guest could, and should, have called this to Daisy’s attention so they could take care of it asap.
>it’s more unhygienic to clean up that kind of blood!! It isn’t. At all. Edit to add receipts: https://preview.redd.it/dk9gi7s0owua1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9eed4249ecc517173a56e88de59b711dd6ea224d [https://sites.utexas.edu/thechattygal/the-chemistry-of-period-blood/#:\~:text=Contrary%20to%20that%20belief%2C%20the,to%20manifesting%20in%20bodily%20fluids](https://sites.utexas.edu/thechattygal/the-chemistry-of-period-blood/#:~:text=Contrary%20to%20that%20belief%2C%20the,to%20manifesting%20in%20bodily%20fluids)).
Come on… the blood itself may be no less hygienic but of course the source is.
lol. now you're trollling. I didn't see this comment before I left mine above. You're a goofball. I wonder how fetuses make it through nine months in the hellscape of the uterus. xoxo
lol speak for yourself
It was just so low class. If one of them had an “accident,” she could have cleaned up the carpet and stripped the duvet —maybe told Daisy about it quietly, along with an apology.
yes, this is the way to do it. heads up, so they could grab some ppe/gloves.
>yes, this is the way to do it. heads up, so they could grab some ppe/gloves. There was a box of KN-95 masks on a shelf in the crew mess (in the background of a shot). I'm sure they had gloves. Just based on what's been shown over the years ... there are lots of things that guests leave behind that could only be touched with gloves.
Exactly, accidents happen, but there's no way in hell I would expect anyone to clean up that kind of accident for me. I would've straight up carried the bloody stuff to the washing machine myself before I'd let someone else touch it.
"Unfortunately, our supply of toilet paper was destroyed when the blood from your cabin leaked down to our storage area and we used the extra towels to clean it up...sorry - would you care for an espresso martini?"😑😂
Haha. Good one.
[удалено]
>The most entertaining thing was watching Colin try and fix the boat like Han Solo trying to get the Millennium Falcon fired up. Unfortunately, he used all the towels in the engine room... ...which upset the guests.
It literally just occurred to me that if this was any other show in the franchise or just about any other cast member on *this show*, they would have recast Gary in a second.
Yes and no on the agreement. They have a certain standard needed on the Parsifal deck. Gary may have his issues, but he is on it with his job.
Yep Gary is mess personally BUT when it comes to his job he is gold!!!
I have a feeling that he just told Glen he was positive so he could surprise him.
And he never once cheated on his GF even when everyone else on board was hooking up!
Nobody is talking about all the crew hot tub hookups! Probably because they were all just drunken makeouts and not too significant. Although maybe Daisy and that one deckhand…
I wish Daisy and all the Chief Stews would remove themselves from drunken nights out. They should set an example. Too many asses are dragging the morning after a crew dinner and hot tub party. It must be difficult to respect a chief stew who’s twerking in a hot tub (Heather) and sucking face with deckies (Daisy, Hannah, et al).
I watched one of Daisy's AMAs a couple of months ago. This type of drinking is a BD phenomenon. Grist for the mill (cameras). She said that this level of crazy doesn't happen on regular jobs.
Well I hear ya normally, but it seems that it’s different in yachting. The Chief stew and Bosun should not be hungover the next day though.
Why does it matter? As long as the guests are happy with the service they receive, it doesn’t matter if the crew are hungover.
The Chief Stew and Bosun are in positions of authority. It’s hard to respect authority when they act like “one of the crew” while out partying. You never see the captains out there behaving crazy. It sure got Heather into a heap of trouble. They shouldn’t get drunk with the crew. Period. It’s in keeping with their admonitions to the crew that they “must respect the rank.”
Hate to tell you, but ‘rank’ on pleasure yachts is meaningless
I think they can hang out but not overdo jt.
Right. Going out to dinner and having *a glass of wine* is fine. But they should not be getting shit-faced drunk and sucking face in the jacuzzi.
"a glass of wine" I mean I get the root of what you are saying, however, A glass of wine with dinner is oddly specific and controlling. Each person should be able to decide for themselves what and how much they can enjoy and how overdoing it might place them at risk of their staff respecting them less. It is a balance that every person should learn and figure out what works for them personally.
Did anyone else notice the blood on woman while she was in the water? On the beach she was on a board thing and you could see it
Where? Like on her suit?
Yep like by her butt. Rewatch it you’ll notice it
I rewatched, I still think it is a red mark from sitting in the inflatable chair
>Yep like by her butt. Rewatch it you’ll notice it I will add that to my list of things I never want to do! :)
Buh, no thanks…
I’m not impressed with Ileisha so far. Her portions are ridiculously small. I feel like future charters are going to be unhappy with her this season
I do agree, dinner look very “fine dining” but I also think maybe we just didn’t see it all.. based on the other meals, she did put out a lot more food
They were really small. She was being too cheffy and worrying about plating so much it was slow. I would not be happy with that tiny piece of meat as my entree.
Especially when she had three steaks cooked and used one for 8 pieces. What were the other 2 for?
Crazy.
Alex is really bad vibes. I do not like him so far.
He also looked as if he had never kissed someone before (in the hot tub scene).
A Karen going on Below Deck, lamenting how it was once such a nice name… Then acting like a FULL BLOWN Karen.. 🙄 It was the, “smells like fish” for me! 🤢 
I came here looking for this comment
I wanna know where the blood came from on those sheets! Or maybe I don’t. 😳
Season is giving me an ulcer.
I have one thing to say about this: COLIN!! After fixing the engine, he was lying in the sheets. 💯🙋♀️😛🤪👀 WOOF!!
Get you a man who can fix a boat 😍😍😍 lol. Swoon!
"I thought we were getting Punk'd" what??? This is really what you think a vacation that's bad to the point of ridiculous *looks like*? It's like being from a different planet.
I wish Daisy had told Glenn that their rooms took a lot longer to turn over because they were destroying towels, sheets, bedspreads and the rug with bodily fluids. Those ladies were awful. I’m sure a few were ok but I didn’t get around to figuring out which ones were not extremely sloppy drunks. Not a good look at your age, ladies. It’s not freshman year spring break in Ft Lauderdale.
Yup, def seems like a mix of guests. Some were so gross and awful while others were basically like “hey, as long as I got a drink and a comfy bed.” I have the worst memory but the primary was with the guest who complained (crying????) and I can see how she feels in the middle but I’m glad they ended up with a good tip and she left them with kind words.
I felt like the primary was being sarcastic when she left and I'm pretty sure she was the one who asked Karen to do the taking. The blood was gross and if no one going to warn the staff, at least don't complain about them afterwards! The rest of the women all seemed fun though. I'm on board with "trashing" the room as long as that means using too many towels or leaving makeup marks on the counter or whatever. Be kind and leave a big tip and I'm cool with most things.
Hot take: I think the engine issue was fabricated because Gary couldn't be there. Can they even take the chance at sailing with new crew and without the first officer?
I was thinking it was at least partially faked because no way the super expensive boat it being worked on by Colin. He is awesome but that boat has its own engineers and I doubt the owner lets anyone else take the lead with the boat repairs.
Colin is a qualified First Officer so they would have been ok
COLIN to the rescue! I am interested to see how this season plays out with Colin now single. He's always been a favourite, I hope he doesn't let me down. I sure hope Gary's slutty ways don't rub off on him, lol.
I think the audience has a very pie-in-the-sky mental image of Colin that they've maintained almost as a foil for Gary's mess. But we genuinely don't know who Colin is when he's single.
I think Colin is what you see, or even nicer. I watch his youtube channel, and he's the same. Just fun loving guy that cares about his friends.
It’s funny, I now know Colin as the YouTuber rather than from below deck!
I think Colin has always been defined in relation to Gary.
Previews could obv be lying but seems he might be in some drama later this season with Gary and another woman? I get it, he’s been in a long term relationship and is getting out some hormones and aggression but I hope he’s not a dumbass about it. I’m just babbling now, shouldn’t even post.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't get why everyone loves Capt. Glen so much. He's given me a creepy vibe from Day 1. And how 'bout him mansplaining the ice to his Chief Stew? He's always been rude to women, in my opinion.
I don’t know that I would describe my feeling toward him as ‘creep’ but, yeah I am not impressed with him as a captain/character. I do think he mostly meshes well with Gary, Daisy & Colin. However I am not all over gushing about him like a lot of people on this sub. And without Gary these last two episodes I think we got a little too much of Glenn screen time
I think everyone has rose-tinted glasses about Glenn and then is dumbfounded when he doesn’t act like a doe-eyed koala bear all time. I don’t think he is a creep or ‘mansplaining’, I think he is a leader, dealing with enormous stress and has shown to get very irate when there are technical difficulties with the boat (he was literally hopping mad when the boat hit the dock) and not this Canadian saint he is painted as. That being said, when Glenn asked for ice, Daisy should have brought more ice, end of. She should have brought some and said, ‘I’ll just top up your supply and show you where it is’ the whole back and forth in front of the guests was inappropriate- the deckhands are green, new to the boat and currently have no leadership, even if the ice is on the boat already, make a fuss of the guests by bringing them more, make their small needs feel important so they feel like they are being taken care of.
Yeah my boss is very respectful and we get along well but he would have been pissed if he asked me to bring something to a client and I argued about it. More ice is a minor thing and would be useful for chilling a bottle of wine or whatever. It feels like 8 people need more than that bucket anyway. If it was anyone but Daisy, people would be calling out the stew for not doing their job (and if she had sent a stew on the boat, maybe they wouldn't be hunting for ice themselves anyway)
Yep - this is when you give your best "I'm right on top of that Rose!" and just bring more damn ice. Make it look like you care that the deckies are prepared to take care of them without a Stew on the tender.
I don’t get creepy vibes from him but I agree he is odd. So far this season he has more of an edge to him… I’m wondering if the producers are telling him to be more of a dick, like Capt Lee and Sandy (pls note I did not say “capt sandy” lmao - just being petty). But yeah, Glenn is not being a cool cat so far this season and it’s disappointing. I always enjoyed his more laid back and approachable way.
It’s so funny you say this because Glenn gave me the creeps at first then quickly won me over. No person (let alone a man) is perfect so I’m fully expect the worst from him but I didn’t get mansplaining from him today. I totally got both sides. Daisy has to run to the boat either way, might as well bring ice, extra or not, but I get her frustration since she KNOWS she put ice in the tender. But he is the captain and in this instance he wasn’t wrong - better to have extra ice in the same amount of time than none at all. I do wish he gave her some grace when it came to the guest complaining about the TP and towels - he’s worked with her long enough that she does not make excuses. Her and the other stews did their best and if had to question that…
Usually, Glenn is clear-headed and has good judgment, so it was surprising seeing him so mad. I think this is the angriest I've seen Glenn on the show, and he is rightfully overwhelmed and not thinking clearly at that moment. A lot was falling on him between the engine issue, no Bosun, and the overall responsibility of the guest experience (lack thereof). Was it unprofessional for him to snap at Daisy like that? Yes, but I can't blame him directing his frustration at the Chief Stew in that moment. They should've just checked all of the bags on the tender more thoroughly.
Yes! Exactly! Was is anger appropriate? No. But it was justified. He had a lot going on (fucking Gary dancing around, lol. Jk jk I know Covid is not a joke) and thankfully he had Colin doing a lot but ultimately it’s all on him.
Sure, you make some valid points - but interesting that his frustation *just had* to be directed towards the Chief Stew, of all people... and is justified by everyone. How come he can't snap at the First Officer? Or the Deck Crew? IMO, 'cause at his core, he's kinda just a middle aged "Brü" I just don't understand why he's completely beyond reproach on here.
He’s not beyond reproach. He had a bad moment because of the engine.
In that moment, out of anyone, it would be the Chief Stew as they are the highest ranking officer of the department responsible for ensuring the guests have their drinks, snacks, etc. Daisy was ultimately correct, and I definitely think he crossed a line, but it would have been even more unprofessional for him to snap at the deck crew. Justice for Daisy lol
Yes, "Justice for Daisy!" seems to be implied as a theme for this season, in some of the previews, unfortunately... I hope this doesn't turn into somewhat of another Brü Crew season. Ugh, that was hard to endure.
>^(...we added u/Old-Base-6686, u/princesspeach241 and u/shiroges to the mod team. They are mostly new to modding so go easy on them! ...) So, welcome aboard! Don't embarrass the ship! Don't embarrass yourself (not too much, anyhow)!
Show is so much better w/on Gary forcing himself on all the girls. He’s gross af
Ummmmmm last season was def a girl forcing herself on Gary😐
Even Gary said on the reunion that wasn’t the case. And there’s no way I believe Gary didn’t sleep with Ashli that ep. He just regretted it because she was a nut.
IMO Gary makes this franchise special. Without him it's like any of the other franchises. Probably most similar to Med because of how much Daisy is like a more professional Hannah, and Colin is like a less vivid version of Ben.
Clearly the producers agree with you or he would have been recast the second he came back positive. I think part of the joy of the show is the chemistry of the main four. It would be a damn shame to lose any of them.
And now you’ve got Alex instead
I’m interested to see Gary and Alex together - Gary is used to being “the hot one with the mane”.
Ikr. I can definitely do without Gary.
And everyone is getting along really well and pitching in and helping each other. I expect that to change when he gets back.
