I think Aesha made a very good observation. The boat has no vibe, no camaraderie amongst the staff. The Deck Crew don't seem to be a team. The Interior Crew don't seem to be a team. The episode seemed like the calm before the storm. Buggy has only been chief stew for a couple of weeks (in real time), Malia's attention has been split since her fella joined the boat. Cpt Sandy still has her favourites. Buggy loved to explain how she would have done things differently than Hannah but it's easy to point out what went wrong after the fact. She seemed to be speaking to the camera when she gave herself credit for Jess' improvement. Malia's constantly talking to others about her crew and the interior, very catty. I worked in restaurants and pubs while in Uni and bonding with each other was always an indicator of a good team. I don't think Sandy, Malia or Buggy are into "bonding" with their group.

This crew is so coupled off that if I were Ayesha I'd be miserable!!!!! Each time they go out between charters, each of the couples sits at the table sharing kisses, whispering to each other (or arguing in the case of Rob and Jess). Nothing happens as a group - it's just a group of couples who don't give two hoots about the other couples!
Downsey, I think you make a great point about how Malia and Bugsy contribute to that. As dept heads, they should have some focus on making sure everyone feels included. If that means not flirting with their respective guys when they are all together, so be it! Having been that third wheel enough times in my life, it makes me so uncomfortable to watch how they all behave in the social time.

I agree, I would be miserable too. Everyone is so coupled up that they are all a snooze fest. And Ayesha should never be miserable. She is so much fun and so lighthearted.

I wonder how much of her finding it hard to joke around with them is because they're just not funny people, and how much of it is the whole couple thing. It seemed like when she was joking around with Rob, Jess was annoyed by it because Rob was not focused on her. If they all extend this whole couple thing to that level where they won't even socialize with other people of the opposite sex, that's TOO MUCH!
It's too bad they are editing Pete out now. I bet his sense of humor meshed better with Ayesha.

OMG! I forgot about Pete! It looked like there was someone sitting next to Ayesha, but I wasn't sure. Oh right, she has a ribald sense of humor, and the episodes that I saw of him, he would enjoy that.

Is there ever an episode where Tom isn’t bitching & moaning about something? The nastiness towards Aesha over the cucumbers that SANDY called him about for the client was ridiculous. And his fit over the provisions was over the top too. Get over yourself, man!
I’ve never liked Jess, & every week I like her even less. She is so jealous about Aesha & so rude to her. Ugh, go away, Jess.
And next week looks like Sandy gets onto Malicious 🎉🎉🎉

I think what makes Toms tantrums worse is that we’ve seen other chefs roll with those things. I can remember times Ben didn’t get all his provisions. He’s been annoyed then figured out what else he could make. I gotta say it makes me think less of malia that she tolerates that behavior.

"YOUR HAIR LOOKS LIKE A CAT" .......... huh!!!!!! TOM is PATHETIC. PERIOD. Complaining because he has to get out of bed to cut up a cucumber. IT'S YOUR JOB, TOM......no one told you to get out of bed to due the laundry or wash down the deck.......PATHETIC.

Ayesha is eccentric and bizzare. She says whatever comes to her mind. It doesn’t have to make sense!

Exactly! She's just so pure and fun.
And talking about the preview...did that group tip with a coupon for dinner? If so, I hope Sandy says something. (She probably won't)

Does anyone else really enjoy the "Watch with Kate" episodes? It's like watching it with your snarky friend. I even like it when I've already seen the episode. Any other thoughts?

I like them enough to watch them but I want more from them. I kind of wish they’d get Ben to do them with her. I think it would be better if she had someone to talk to. And I’m not surprised but I think she’s too kind to Capt Sandy.

Damn, I really hate admitting it, but Bugsy is really a good chief stew!

I can tell I will struggle in the beginning telling the difference between the chief stew and the stew she reminded she was the superior to.

Sandy was saying last night to MALIA what I have been saying since TOM arrived. "STAY OUT OF THE GALLEY." Tom worrying about his reputation..he only has himself to blame for that. For the Chef to be swearing 24/7, ignoring the Captain of the ship and throwing pans is so unprofessional.

Agreed! He makes it hard to work around him. The impact he had on Aesha is a perfect example of that! He's really not that great of a chef if he's stumped and doesn't know how to move forward anytime something doesn't go his way. Given they had problems with provisions last charter, I question why he was not more direct and involved when they were delivered this time. When he was bothered by the way they were delivered - why not express that concern to the delivery person immediately? She could have come into the galley to review everything and get it worked out. He loses time by pitching a fit before he deals with it.
Sandy was also exactly right in telling Malia to stay out of it. Yes, they are a couple - but when working, they each have a role and they have to draw lines. If he was going to call anyone but Sandy about those issues, it should have been Bugsy. Bugsy could have dealt with the provisions since she orders them. She also could have worked with him to brainstorm menu alternatives to make it work. Fine ... there's no fish. How about using the beef that was for dinner in lunch instead, and by the time dinner rolls around, we'll have gotten replacement fish (and could have them throw in beef to make up for the error) to make it work. Tom gets WAY too fixated on believing that once he's planned a menu there can be no changes.

Exactly! Finally, I agree with something Sandy did. Stay out of the galley and stop intervening Malia. This prima donna can't sort out a problem with provisions by himself? Can you imagine a Chef going to Captain Lee? Or send his GF to Captain Lee to complain about the delivery? Also, you accepted the job, don't blame your gf and put pressure on her. (Although I was worried that she was going to have her mom work for the boat too.)
And seriously, you can't think of anything to serve for lunch? Insane. With all of those groceries?

Malia posted a video on her instagram saying she was just as shocked as everyone else when she saw this video so it’s not some inside joke between them. Very inappropriate for Captain Sandy to do this.

OMG......that is HORRID. Shut your mouth Sandy ....... so unprofessional and yes, I am wondering .... is she drunk? She is totally disheveled in my opinion. The clip was cutting in and out so what I got from it was that Sandy said " Malia is gay and that is what production thinks." Why do you go to twitter and announce that .... poor Malia, whether she is or isn't is NONE of Sandy's business.

Yeah, and for someone in the LGBTQ community, she should know especially that 'outing' someone is just all kinds of wrong.
I saw Malia's response and I thought that she handled it perfectly.
