#2747 Below Deck Down Under S03E05: Leaky Blunders

The days are getting longer. The sun is out more.
I just went up to my garden box and she is blooming. And it made me realize spring produce is now here.
And I am so excited for cooking with fava beans and fresh herbs. Whole Foods Market has what you're looking for with great everyday prices.
At Whole Foods Market, you can save every day. Look for the yellow low price signs that help you save money without compromising the quality you expect from Whole Foods.

Or, if you'd prefer, you can listen to bonus episodes. We're doing Traders right now on Peacock, a Traders recap.
So that's always a really good time. And I think that's all I have to say to start off.
How about you? Anything on your end, Ben? I don't have anything pressing on my mind. Just hello, everyone.
How are you? Hello. Hello.
So what are your below deck thoughts?

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 everyone's in love with Beyond.

And I like that he is revealing himself to be a douchebag.

Because I think we were really out of sorts.

That he's like a bosun who seemed to be more 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 he's like a standard bosun he's he's a he's a douche that's that 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 yeah 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 um you know it's nice because as he becomes douchier it's gonna bring out more of um lara's bitchy side which i need for 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 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 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 kind of want Serena.

I feel like, you know, he's very affectionate with Zarina.

And I'm kind of like, Zarina, stop chasing after 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, Johnny's very hard to read.

Yeah, people are nice to chefs, too.

You know, they're going to 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 mean, 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's 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, like i'm gonna 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 gonna get in a black nighty and make my hair really big and everybody's gonna know what the fuck they're dealing with today i was like all right i'm 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 into it i'm from texas i'm into a good passive aggressive hair tease yeah um so uh anyway um viana and marina come back to the boat and uh and uh what's her face is saying that uh i like him and laura's like oh brie's talking i'm sorry brie 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 knoth 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 gonna be like um eduardo came back with felicia are these people on the boat well it's also below deck so different casts 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 very excited. But guess what? Marina asked Vian 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 she's like oh it was so nice he's such a nice guy like so interesting um which i don't know that i'd give that to vion i mean hot no hot oily but yeah interesting what's he done this interesting stretch yeah i i actually think that's one of his weak weak parts like well that's a that's a trouble area for him is being interesting um so lara's like so you like bobbing 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 what hey serena are you trying a new hairstyle of old haggard bitch it really works well on you, 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? Oh, no, she found out. Yeah, she kind of did it.
No, I don't know. She found out.
She went to the bathroom and was like that fucking backstabbing bitch. Yeah.
So then she like 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 gonna become like bitchy sandy now and she's like i've got leather pants and big hair yeah and that's what she was doing i think she's trying to to go for a carefree, what have I care kind of look. And then it just looked crazy.
And Marina's like, that looks crazy. I like it.
It fits you. It's like, damn, this girl's coming in with her knives out.
Marina was 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 um

so uh 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

gave her a kiss on the forehead and so um beyondian's like, don't look at me like that. So 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 it'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, Like, he just really likes it. So, Vian'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.
She's from a mud boat. She's 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 a dare it's like i don't even know what that name means so um harry's now asking marina because you know harry's uh sloppy so he goes goes right to marina and he's like have his last night i've lost you and she's like really nice very interesting he's like you were there for ages i was asleep when he came in and uh 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 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 was like, 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 feel like right now i feel like i'm basically dating a magazine cover of vogue it's so exciting for me um he's got to chill out on this because i i get it it's exciting she's a model um 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 um it's gonna be kind of a turnoff for her i'm just gonna say um yeah i feel like model like it's it's something to be like i dated a model you know which i think is what he's going for here but it's different once you like settle down with a model because you know there's a shelf life on modeling okay we're not all cindy crawford okay and at some point that 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 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 going to take it slow and I'm going to play it cool. And I'm going to 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.
I thought for a second. Well, 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 have had nothing to do with his background. So, his clothes are shrinking.
He 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 um we veon has decided that he's in love with the

dairy now so he's like he he he is everything good here and she's like yeah this hot time kiss my

rusty dusty she's so hot so interesting so interesting oh so zarina's talking to laura and asking how she slept you know and uh 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 don't want to be around short muscly men who want to stick their dicks into other people who not rhyme with my name so lara's like yes i was a bit shocked shocked and also instantly bored and sarina'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 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 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. 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 three it's a boat owner herself asia'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, 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 so Vian's like, yeah, we can give that to her. And so Aisha 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? It 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.
You know, I know about the mermaid movement.

And trust me, I'm probably going to join it at some point.

But as someone in service, I was like, oh, no, this is going to be trouble.

You know, 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, please welcome the star splash, Daryl Hannah.

Someone who did this once in the early 80s.

She's 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' 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 so i don't have a roxanne comment but i have a roxanne giggle i just i remember seeing that movie in the theaters um so lara so she's like well they're going to be celebrating 25 years of the first time that they saw splash 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

chicks 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 so it's like i just can't you know every time a live lobster comes in she just eats it you know So Laura...

A woman doesn't even know how to use a fork.

Just... lobster comes in she just eats it you know so lara 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, but she had her own issues.
She was brushing her hair with a fork. So these, you know, these mermaids really got to get it together.
Also, to be a mermaid, you should probably swim. It's time for a commercial.

Can I say something?

Yeah.

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 dread.
So there's awful headlines 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 crab's POV.
And the cuttlefish comes forward and has this 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 its tongue.
I was like... 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, 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 know here to feel smart okay people with your 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 mateoan. Mateo Santan has some time on his hands.
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 very crazy thing very crazy thing oh no i tried to click on it and it says creative creative can encounter long in no i i had it but my chrome isn't letting me share my screen which is really sad oh gosh you're right this news is fucking depressing depressing listen are the white lotus brothers gonna fuck or not that's all i need to know from you. I know.
Let's get that over with it. That's literally all I want to know.
Who wins the traitors and are the brothers on White Lotus going to fuck? That's the news. Period.
I don't want... 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 um so uh she is gonna be uh she's gonna be there on service etc and then veon 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 har 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 mend.

And 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 Bree about Serena being upset, because, you know, Leon 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 in to gossip with them who of course messy ass harry loves this you know of course he's like so they're like what's going on and harry's like well he likes he likes that like marina made the move but he can't make up his mind and laura's like between who serena he's like no and then they're like a dare he's like i think so 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 mudwracker?

Seriously?

And he's like, yeah, you know, he doesn't like Serena anyway.

And Laura's like, oh, God, I think they need to have a conversation.

Dun, dun, dun.

So Harry then goes up to Vian, and he's likeena's a bit upset So he is so messy And Vian's like well why? He's like because she was into you And now you've gone off with Marina And 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, that's a lot of rhyming for me to keep up

with. This is why I had to get out

of there, alright? Serena,

Marina, can't.

So he's like, and on the flip side,

I'm on to someone else anyway.

And he gives that

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.
You'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 spindle, like a love hop cap, and nothing's lining up and nothing's working. And 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't just keep boiling they actually explode your house it's very dangerous and i want everyone to take cover when this kettle i actually wish that was harry's backstory it would give him something you know i need more from harry they're just like i love my parents you know i need like everywhere i go kettles explode it's like a stupid 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 he's what was the guy i remember a car fire did he start cars on fire was that yeah there was a guy whose car like 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 um rian his way of dealing with this is like 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? It's like you haven't asked out the stunning chef yet.
Could you not rub your armpits while you talk? While you flirt with me, please. She's super tall.
And he's like, well, maybe the chef 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 V-Han operates. He does the passive thing where he doesn't have to get clocked for being a fuckboy because he's not going to be the one who's actively, you know, engaging with anyone.
He's going to 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. 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 he's only in sort of light fuckboy status, but I'm just saying these are the things that I'm keeping out for. I'm like building my case ahead of time.
Because I know we're going to'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 both the episode where his boy nature really came to the fore but also his irresponsible bosun nature came to the fore, but also his irresponsible bosun nature

came to the fore as well.

Yeah, it was a double lamby for sure.

Yeah, laziness surfaced.

Yeah, and being bossed around by the lady

who 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 um 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? I don't think we saw it.

We did get to because... I mean, right now I don't think we saw it.
Oh, not right now. Okay.
I'll zip it. I'll keep that spoiler for later in the episode.
Also, sometimes I don't get the CVs that they put up on the screen because I just, I'm a very lazy watcher and that feels like reading, you know?

Oh, every time there's like any piece of information about someone, I always pause.

I'm like, 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.

Oh, 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. No.
I think Serena is, I don't think they're going to fire Serena because Serena, I think they're setting her up to be like a fixture. So I think she's just, Serena is going to 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 think it sounds fishy, but I don't know.
Wait, um, 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, let's see.
So now, Laura, okay, so the guests arrive, okay, and we see their bio. They're from Chicago, and Aisha is a restaurant owner, and Gail is a travel consultant, and they've been friends for over 25 years.
So now they get the tour, and Laura'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, Vian then is talking to her and he's like, how do do I tell her that 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 things ready for the beach and everything.
And, you know, he's checking in with Marina about he's like asking Marina what she's eating. And 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, I'll unpack for you.
Depends on if you pay me in several kisses. I'll think about it.
Several kisses. He's like, ooh.
Not one, but seven. Laying it on so thick.
I'm just so embarrassed for everybody on this show right now. It's a lot of cringe.
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 they're like by the way you're dealing with a few restaurateurs here we're foodies so be careful serena 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 wag you steak drama yeah and i always feel bad because people who call themselves foodies are generally not foodies.
And a restaurateur 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 yeah so um okay so there's uh they're they're they're gonna sort of set up they're gonna anchor set up anchor and everything and there's a buoy um 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 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.
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 100 meters i didn't see nothing fall from outer space no.
Oh, never mind. Thank God, because those are scary.
So he's like, oh, I know a hundred diameters. And she's like, okay, is that supposed to be cute? So they drop the anchor, 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 this 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 laura is asking vian to meet him meet her in the salon for something.
And so Laura's like, by the way, after services, can we make sure there's someone to walk 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 so there was a mess on the on the teak and the table was messy. radioed V-Han 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 V-Han, 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 you 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. I mean, well, 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.
understand what this, 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, what she was hoping for, but like she was just getting tossed around by that ocean. I keep telling you mermaiding.
No, I know mermaiding is, I didn't, I didn't know what this lady, I didn't feel like she was part of like the mermaid subculture. 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 not good. Yeah, not good.
Commercials, here comes one right now. Have you ever wondered how a circus performer could become the most powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire? Even the Royals is a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families, from ancient empires to modern monarchs, to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty.
Before she ruled an empire, Theodora was a teen sensation in circus shows, featuring dancing bears, burlesque performers, and blood-soaked chariot races. But when her star came crashing down, she clawed her way from rock bottom to the very top, using everything from comedy to espionage to get there.
Empress Theodora didn't just survive. She revolutionized women's rights across the Byzantine Empire, like changing

laws to let women divorce men, own property, and bring abusive men to justice. For all her work in pioneering, she's remembered as the most powerful Byzantine empress in history.

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, did Jason say it wasn't clean up here? And he's like, no, Laura 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 as you wipe the table and the way to clean the floor behind below it, you vacuum. And then if there's messy towels, you fold them.
He's like, but what's about putting out cushions? How do you do that? You put out the cushions. Okay, great.
Great. All right.
I'm really learning some things here. Yeah, so then Johnny is back at 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 ice cream. So the guests come back on board and Lara, there's like this nice moment where like Lara is 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, Brie? And they're kind of like coy. And they kind of deduce that it's Harry who Brie is into.
Well, because they say, do you have a boyfriend? Harry's like, should 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 going to 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 play mind games but he is who else would say maybe no he starts unraveling like i thought that he was just being coy and she is really she's like really upset by this um so

they show her walking around cleaning after this and she just walks into the bathroom and goes maybe she goes back to her bed and folds the seat it's like maybe it's just she's really struggling so um so then uh jason's checking in with beyonce how everything's going and beyond'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 um that that uh he's actually he's trying to make it seem like he's on top of shit 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 going to make some lists this was totally my idea i'm going to 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 laura is tattletaling on him when she's not so he's he's just like, just in case, she comes to complain and says,

I need to make lists, I'm going to tell him that

making lists is totally my idea, right?

So then

Lara's like, so Vian,

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 i said adair she's like a dex do shouldn't shouldn't she be the one to go up and help like that's her role is to go back and forth yes so um so vian tells lara this you know and um but like you know it's totally unhelpful because he's gonna 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 go get into your blacks and find laura so laura will be with you in 15 no worries and it dinner's at 8. So, she just rolls her eyes.
Yeah, because it's totally unhelpful. So, 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, um, here's a streamer.
So then, Adair... This is my art! Someone get that streamer taped, please.
It's a wall of streamers. Except where we've run out, then we'll just leave giant gaps.
It's art. Just go with it.
All right. 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 the Wagyu bees tonight.
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. It'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 kitchen, 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 mentored 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 like getting all her anger out so she's like what's me mental so she goes do you think it's 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 Vian has a crush on the dare, 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.
Wow. This really does remind me of setting up in sorority with five dollar budgets this is something yeah takes us all the way back so um serena's talking about how um 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 rare like the 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? Because 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 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. 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 does i mean there's different things like people 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 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 um upsetting to people so i get it i mean i'm kind of ignorant on the wagyu front but uh i was like oh no don't serve that that.
And then I felt a little bit better once I Googled it.

And also when I Googled it, it's usually thin, 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 I definitely was like, that's very rare.

And this probably won't land well yeah um so let's i'm looking at pictures online i'm staring at it i'm like you know it is it is cooked it is often served very rare i'm looking at the pictures now it's very rare but but hers were well hers, really rare. Although there is this one picture where it's pretty purplish.
It looks delicious. I'll have it.
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 pre-cooked.
It's like not 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.
So 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, um, let's see. So now the guys have been sent down to help with cabins.
This is another thing I'll say. The deckhounds are being asked to do a lot, which, you know, not to defend to defend vihan 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 yeah 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 while this while this dude did other stuff also the the deckhands are short presenting shirtless they're 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 why are they shirtless for this sorority anniversary occasion it was just sort of one of 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 load off so they're all just kind of sitting on the couches while he rubs his sandy feet and uh laura sees them and she's like um do you guys want to chill downstairs and not in the guest area and he's like and we have like the update is laura has climbed 793 stairs so far so laura then goes and does the time-honored 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.
It's like, 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 Bree'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 job brah yeah or you can just say no you just say no i've got to do other things yeah 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 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 i'm i would also say um 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 and what seems like there's there's just like no air conditioning on this boat like i i notice um in the in the crew rooms one of the rooms someone has like a a fan that they've just pulled out of a box so like it's just is it not ventilated in there i need to know all the details i don't know i think if there is AC, you probably just need air.
It's just humid. It's very thick air.
So she's mad because Vian 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.
And by the way, these guests are super nice. They're not like divas.
They're not obnoxious. Despite the fact that they call themselves divas, they're not.
They've actually been lovely this entire time. And in fact, going back to that scene when they were talking to Laura and Marie about Harry and stuff like that, they were so sweet and fun.
I was like, I want to hang out them so they were like very kind i know 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 restauranteurs and we will not hold that against your cooking we just want this cooked a little bit better like you know they're just so nice so they but they but you know zarina is like embarrassed and'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 restaurateurs,

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.

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 mean you couldn't have cooked that anymore you know she goes yeah because it's wagyu thank you for getting me thank you so then um there's a cake that's gonna be going up uh 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 Cloy's.

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?

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 goes, no, like Coke. I i love diet coke that's me opening up so just like that and i love dr pepper you know the first thing i do when i go to the u.s 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 and, do you have Shake Shack? He's like, no, you'll have to take me there.

She goes, oh, God, Bree, this is the moment you've been waiting for.

Say it, Bree.

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 there he's like oh sorry i mean i didn't think i should tell cottage i guess all our crew secrets it's dark eh she's like damn it so now beyond goes to offer some help with to serena again and she's going to bed and um uh then marina's like um so serena i'm having a little bit of cake is that okay she goes go ahead she's like rumors are that rion used to strip and then we see the flashback of rion telling the 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, toe touch. That's exactly right.
He wasn't taking off clothes actively. He just was already just a go-go dancer, just standing there.
So Zarina's like, but I think 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 serena'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 to make out. I know.
I would never want to make out with someone who put so much trouble in the dish am i right beyond so serena's like off meanwhile there is a trail of a 25th anniversary cakes in the hallway leading to her doorway now so now the next day uh serena sees vian 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 later.
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, I 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 Laura 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 Laura's like, oh my God, I think they're like gods. Jeez.
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, well i don't really know what to say about that do you want to ask me out on a date so meanwhile uh dare and johnny are dealing with the jet ski and she's like hey y'all i'm gonna get this crane up over the boat okay look oh geez there's moonshine in that jet ski and he's like no i think that is just water uh i think we have to uh drain the water are you sure it's not moonshine pretty sure it's just water uh so vian's like why is it like this and she's like well she's leaning weird that's for sure and he goes uh yeah just drop it she's like uh okay well cable up i'm gonna 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 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 in snorkel or whatever. And look at that 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 like so they ran away i never saw them but that water was rough i could not swim i was like i'm gonna die here i'm gonna 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 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 it's not an uncommon thing i've seen this before so many times at beefcakes there would just be like water in places it wasn't supposed to be just get them up you know turn on the bulbs i mean if it starts leaking it means you're doing your job that's how we said it did beefcakes like wait a minute so uh i don't think it's supposed to be filled on the inside of the jet ski because 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 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 ski is 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 end 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, just give us some warning before we make fun of these people every week.
Yeah. All right, everybody.
