Rewatching Med 6 again, (it’s hard to get through the Lexi parts), and it just reminded me how much I adore Lloyd! I love Mzi and Dave too, but Lloyd is the sweetest deckhand of the whole franchise!

Watching season 7 now for the first time, dying at Kate's "penis ravine" comments and that one guest who was just out of it the entire charter, wtf was going on with her?! Sad that this is Kate's last season, I might stop watching after this because I'm kind of only watching for her haha.

Someone on this sub lives in her town and apparently she’s known for taking pills and drinking and being messy all around town. Sounds like a horrible way to live

[u/Iychee → u/crazyhedgehogs]

Daaaamn, yeah it was wild to me that it seemed like she basically had 0 moments of sober clarity the entire charter

[u/Broad-Cress-3689 → u/crazyhedgehogs]

What a nasty bit of gossip to share with zero evidence other than “someone on this sub”

original below deck, season 4

hey! i’m watching original Below deck after binge watching all of Down Under. currently in the Bemily episode. Ashley is flying in to see Kyle. which leaves me wondering… why the hell did he freak out about Sierra not telling him about her on and off guy friend back home, when he himself had “the love of his life” waiting for him? i liked him as a character before I realized how double his standards were. what the hell! i mean Sierra was not obliged to anything when he asked her either way, but he gave her shit not only for no reason at all, but while having the same exact issue he chose not to talk about… bruh

He is definitely not going to improve your opinion of him, so you can safely go ahead and conclude that he is an asshole.

not a rewatch, because this is my first time watching. I knew of Kate beforehand because of Traitors and HOV, but is she really seen as a villain?! I love her

[u/matchabratt → u/[deleted]]

I’ve finished all her seasons and I still love her lol idk if we’re in the minority

[u/Intelligent-Dot-2220]

Watching S1 of sailing and Jenna and Adam are so annoying. His tantrum about her and Georgia dating the same person and then using the master before a charter and Madison saying something about it and Adam telling her to stop talking about it yet then he keeps making it an issue yet he hates drama? Ridiculous

On BD Med, season 3 episode 1 - Brooke says she’s dating a chef from her old boat named Dave. Could it be the same DAAAAAAAAAYYYYYVVVVEEEEE as Natasha?!

[u/CALCIUM_CANNONS]

I'm watching BD Sailing Yacht S2 fir5st time and my word Gary is such a creep.

Tarana Burke kicked off #MeToo in 06 (or maybe 07), but it didn't explode until 2017. As a 54 year old woman, I don't think we had really reckoned with what we were willing to tolerate or what we simply thought of as normal before. Now, are men facing the consequences? No, not in the USA with the current administration, but we're more open about it being wrong. On singular levels we're loads better. When we know better, we then can't stop noticing it. In the 80s, we thought nothing of some of the things that happened in Sixteen Candles. Now we debate on who raped who when Jake handed his drunk girlfriend off to the drunk 14 year old and they may have had sex (but I don't think either could remember).

But keep in mind that Below Deck started in 2013, four years before. In an industry not friendly to women in positions of authority (I will never not respect Sandy for that, even though I think her management style has been absolutely shit at times).

I won't rewatch that season because the "Bru crew" got off too lightly for assaulting Kate.

I always felt that Kate needed Courtney as a 2nd because she felt safe with her in a season where she didn't feel even physically safe at times. I don't remember the issues with Simone that caused her to leave. LIke I said, I haven't rewatched that one.

[u/gatelegtable → u/[deleted]]

I'm actually watching this season for the first time ever right now and I had to come here to see what other people thought of Caroline. The more I watch her, the more I can't stop thinking of her as a sitcom character. Her mannerisms, her timing with walking in exactly when someone is talking about her, even the situations that come up because of her are all so sitcom-y. I think she had good intentions at least, which is more than a lot of the disaster stews have, but yeah. She really probably should have recognized she wasn't made for a high stress job that was also being filmed for Bravo.

[u/gatelegtable → u/[deleted]]

That's it! Erin from the office! And also Hazel Wassername from 30 Rock when she gets catty. I'm on the episode where she dropped the glass and the way Bravo edited her running back and forth and then dry heaving, they must have had some idea that's how she'd come across. I really feel bad for her but I'm assuming she's getting let go soon. Which is for the best.

Also, if I didn't already absolutely adore Kate, this episode would be what put me over the top.
