Below Deck - Hayu pace - Yes, Mike you are a HOD, please come to dinner.

A new thread as the old one is on page 20..... And i'm frustrated that I am getting an app error when I try to watch the after show!! I want to see Ben and Eddy together watching Jenna enter Ben's room..... I'm going to have to search YouTube for clips instead.
And Mike with his HoD sign was just the funniest. I think they are right British sense of humour. I was laughing.

The primary guy was creepy, especially when he was talking to Nathan about one of the girl's boobs because she'd had a baby etc...ugh....

Joe clearly has a big buzzing bee in his bonnet and I wouldn't put it past him to sabotage Nathan at some stage, although nathan doesn't seem entirely on the ball to be honest. Why don't they have decent radios and ear pieces when it comes to docking?

Love the fact the girls are already back stabbing, imagine giving it charlie large so early in the day (and on speakerphone), nice.

Anyway, looks like we're in for a grubby season from the flash forwards!

I think this season is going to stress me out. Joe being Joe, Joe being competitive with Nathan, stews competing.

I don’t know why Nathan didn’t speak loudly into the radio.

My main take away was Sandy saying something like “the French make the best croissants”. Who knew? 💀

Below Deck Med S11 E1 thoughts:

• Lovely to see Aesha back
• Love Captain Sandy
• Already utterly sick of Nathan saying he's going to "smash" everything
• Nathan is not a good leader/manager - he should have set aside his issues with Joe rather than harbouring grudges, stirring things up, and bitching on the phone to wimpy Gael
• Nathan should make Joe lead deck hand as a) he is the most experienced and b) this would neutralise the tension between them
• New blonde stew is annoying - I can see why the arsey one from NYC doesn't like her although I think calling her a bitch is a bit strong
• The French chef is going to lose her cool and I am here for it

Watched WWHL with Sandy after this ep and she said Genevieve causes the most drama and called her out as someone who didn’t improve during the season.

Mad at Bravo for making me feel sorry for Joe in this ep. But I’m sure it won’t last long.

Felt for Joe a bit.

Surprised at Nathan going off at him at the end of the episode, he didn't seem to say anything bad about Gael however there could have more that was edited out I guess

I thought Nathan was quite harsh on Joe based on what was shown. Really all Joe seemed to say was that he and Gael didn’t get on, which is true. There must have been something else said which we didn’t see.
I haven’t worked out which stew is which yet in terms of who is being bitchy, who is being bossy and who is in the middle, I’m sure if I give a few more episodes, I’ll get there 😂
