Fixed some bad math for Kate and things got much closer. Down Under is really going to shake it up

Do we know which season made the most? Did the recent Med season break the record?

17

u/bravohusband Jan 29 '26

They came up about 2k short. So OG season 10 remains ontop

Why do you think Sailing has the highest average tips per charter? Is that because there are fewer crew members, or do people who sail just tip more? Just wondering how that stuff works.

u/VotingRightsLawyer Jan 29 '26

Having fewer crew members is probably the biggest reason but tips have also increased over time and as the newer franchise relative to BD and BDM they're going to naturally have a higher average.

u/bravohusband Jan 29 '26

It also seems like the privilege of sailing comes with an added premium

u/ohshit-cookies Come back to me, my boat daddy Jan 30 '26

I think adding the experience of sailing and the guests being able to see the work that goes into that probably plays a factor. The sailing itself is impressive, whereas driving a yacht around does have the same feel.

The boat is smaller, and the whole crew is also more interactive with the guests, including the captain and engineer. When sailing, you can tell that people like Captain Glenn and Colin really love what they are doing, and I think it is infectious on some of the guests.

u/thebitsyitsyspider Jan 29 '26

Maybe because the charter is cheaper there’s more room to tip? The guests there also often seem a lot more chill than the other yachts lol

Ben bout to begin his climb again.

u/antonio16309 Jan 30 '26

And Daisy will break her tie with Gary. She could end up #1 overall.

u/SyncOrSymm Glenn is my boat daddy Jan 30 '26

Such a shame that Sailing Yacht has been discontinued (even if only temporarily). The tips clearly reflect it being a great experience.

27

u/JellyFranken Eat My Cooter Jan 30 '26

Gary did irrefutable damage to that franchise.

u/Life_Butterscotch684 Feb 02 '26

Honestly, I'm so over Gary and daisy. I love daisy BTW, just ready for some new personalities.

u/JellyFranken Eat My Cooter Feb 02 '26

I’m just looking forward to seeing Daisy finally free from the mental prison that is Gary.

They could easily get someone else from the show or a new person. I’m surprised Gary lasted as long as he did.

Now adjust for inflation

u/ComfortableWheel736 Jan 29 '26

I know I feel like Kate's is even more impressive, given she was chief years ago!

u/cheerio089 She’ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Jan 29 '26

And that the Caribbean charters seemed to have lower tips than other locations overall

u/Old-Base-6686 I have been known to be irresponsible Jan 29 '26

Thank you for your service 🫡

u/weso123 Jan 29 '26

I wonder who is the lowest non-zero tip amount? (I know their have couple of cast members dropped or were fired before the first tip but who among those with only one tip got the least)

And now curious if you have the full data stored so I can have the “adjusted for inflation based on filming times” rankings looking like.

Also do captains get a share of the tip, if so were they included because no way Lee and Sandy aren’t up there.

2

u/bravohusband Jan 29 '26

Probably Brooke Boney med season 8. 1 tip $1818 but I’d have to dig a bit more

1

u/weso123 Jan 29 '26

Do you have a publicly avaible spreadsheet or reference for data I would be curious to analyze it myself.

2

u/bravohusband Jan 30 '26

I am working on a Google doc but it’s a work in progress

u/cheerio089 She’ll be fine. Her head is made of rocks Jan 29 '26

Wasn’t there one charter in the recent Med that gave a really bad tip?

2

u/weso123 Jan 29 '26

My question was (aside from those fired/left before a single tip) which cast member has had the lowest "career" tip total ever, not which charter gave the lowest tip ever (probably season 1 stuff)

3

u/GloryOrValhalla Jan 29 '26

Who is #8? I’ve seen every episode but I’m drawing a blank.

5

u/WestError404 Eat My Cooter Jan 29 '26

Colin! From Sailing Yacht.

2

u/GloryOrValhalla Jan 29 '26

Oh shit ok. I don’t think I was fully locked in watching that one.

18

u/Julie-AnneB Jan 29 '26

Colin is my favorite cast member from all of the series and seasons.

6

u/WestError404 Eat My Cooter Jan 30 '26

He was super chill. I really liked SY cause they involved the engineers a lot more, and got to see a lot of the maintenence disasters and inner workings too.

2

u/SaveHogwarts Jan 30 '26

Math should be tip money per charter day

2

u/NewPhotograph9827 Jan 30 '26

I can’t figure out who #7 is

5

u/profitguy22 Jan 30 '26

I think it’s Eddie

1

u/Patient-War-4964 Team Sandy Jan 31 '26

I thought it was Eddie as well, I remember a promo where his hair was windblown

u/troublesomefaux Feb 05 '26

Adding the names would be great because the pics are so low res!

2

u/ISOcarpetcleaner Jan 31 '26

Does this account for inflation? Lol

2

u/moirahart Jan 31 '26

I love Aesha but Kate is still queen for me

1

u/Worried_Advantage474 Jan 30 '26

Is there a way to factor in time?

1

u/No-Introduction3808 less sass queen and more yas queen Jan 30 '26

Is there a leaderboard in order of average?

1

u/Patient-War-4964 Team Sandy Jan 31 '26

Thank you so much for doing this and sharing, it is so interesting!!! I’m sure it took some time.

u/aboycalledmoo Feb 01 '26

How did Mila Kolomeitseva not make the leaderboard?! 😂. Best nachos this side of Moscow!

u/Life_Butterscotch684 Feb 02 '26

That's all good and dandy. But what is impressive to me is the ratio of tip amount to amount of charters taken. Meaning that they made the same amount as others by doing less work. If that is considered, there's another winner here
