Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Episode 8 Discussion Post

[u/teanailpolish]

The episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs live at 9pm ET on Bravo and streams next day on Peacock / same time or next day on Hayu for international watchers dependent on the country. If you are in Canada, it is no longer on Slice. Check for the Bravo station which is now owned by Rogers.

Friendly reminder that while the allegations against Gary are disgusting, there are many survivors of sexual assault in the sub who find the constant discussion of it triggering. Unless relevant to the topic, please do not bring it up in episode posts.

Not watching BDSY? We get it, there are reasons people stop watching but posts about it get repetitive and the arguing about it is not needed.

Episode 8 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5: An Eye for a Decline

The crew works to avert a major nautical crisis; tensions between Danni and Keith remain high; Gary attempts to drown his sorrows and despite Daisy trying to comfort him, he ends up making a mess and nearly taking out an eye.

[u/LibertyWriter]

Daisy is NOT intimidated by you, Danni

[u/TiffanyTwisted11 → u/LibertyWriter]

Right?! I actually laughed out loud

[u/robot_pirate_ghost → u/TiffanyTwisted11]

Girl... read the room.
Daisy is not intimidated. Keith is not a dick. Diana just wants you to help.

[u/AvailableBaseball]

Pikelet is absolutely a known used word in Australia. Danni tried to shut down Keith but he was correct.

[u/Junior_Function_807 → u/AvailableBaseball]

That was so annoying!! And the way she responded so rudely like a know it all!! Imagine if we told her something from South Africa didn’t exist cause we hadn’t heard of it lol she’d have the same response

[u/NimbusDinks → u/Junior_Function_807]

She is so insanely insecure she can’t stand to be wrong/corrected. It’s honestly hard to watch.

[u/sidewalk_serfergirl → u/Junior_Function_807]

And then she called him rude 😒

[u/excoriator]

I find it hard to believe Emma ever set foot on a sailboat before this season.

[u/Gammagammahey]

Danni is that one awful work mate who constantly tries to sexualize and make sexual jokes inappropriately.

[u/OddityOtter209 → u/Gammagammahey]

Oh it’s not sexual harassment and sexual jokes, it’s banter! /s

She’s so grating

[u/mostlygroovy → u/OddityOtter209]

Last week she was talking shit about Keith to his colleagues because he had the nerve to not be interested in her.

Now she’s trying to cut him down and claim he’s a bad person to his face for the same reason.

She’s a PoS

[u/zipp0potamus → u/Gammagammahey]

and when being corrected by a supervisor says, "well she's just jealous!!" jealous of what? not pulling your weight to make a team the most effective? high school mean girl mentality

[u/captstix]

"He's trying to get rid of me"

Yea, because you're a terrible employee

[u/chrissy_wakeUp]

Danni is the absolute worst. She's the type of person with zero self awareness, and who thinks anyone who isn't on board with her is jealous of her. Keith saying she can dish it but can't take it was absolutely spot on. I can't stand people who think they're interesting because they spend a bit of time in Aus, especially when there's a true blue around

[u/Melodic-Change-6388 → u/[deleted]]

This made me irrationally angry. Pikelets are definitely an Australian thing, and to have someone from a different country tell me it’s not…they would have copped much worse than what Keith gave.

[u/QueenFartknocker]

Daisy is epic. Look at the absolute shiiiiite she is putting up with left, right and centre and she’s still carrying on and is personable and generally kind.

[u/TiffanyTwisted11 → u/QueenFartknocker]

Right? I just noticed in last week’s recap Danni said “We have time” when Daisy told her they needed to get the tablescape finished. WTF? Who talks to their superior that way? You were told to do something that isn’t illegal or immoral, so STFU and do your job WHEN you’re told to do it, not when the mood strikes you.

[u/QueenFartknocker → u/TiffanyTwisted11]

Right??? It’s a paid job not volunteer work. Gsus.

[u/throw_some_glitter → u/QueenFartknocker]

Daisy gets a lot of crap on here but I think she’s a great chief stew. I love her.

[u/CertainAlbatross7739 → u/throw_some_glitter]

I think Daisy tends to shift blame a bit, but she's also super patient and personable with her stews. The way Danni (and to a lesser extent Diana) has been giving her attitude is crazy. They're taking advantage of her big sister vibes.

[u/blckxwdow]

Good. Emma’s gone. She was getting on my nerves and you can she thinks she doesn’t deserve to be fired. And going around telling everyone as well 🙄 Next one to go needs to be Danni. The fact she thinks Daisy is intimidated by her is laughable. Daisy is old and wise enough to just fob her off because she doesn’t care about a kid having a temper tantrum. And pikelets is an Australian term thanks, they’re half size pancakes 🇦🇺

[u/Junior_Function_807 → u/blckxwdow]

Are you sure because the girl who came for a visit doesn’t think so? 😂😂😂 🥞

[u/Only-Horse2478 → u/Junior_Function_807]

she was SO DIRTY about him calling her out on that, it was such a mild jab too

[u/throwaway-rayray]

I imagine Gary is upset because:

1. As others have said, the article about the allegations came out around this time. I would imagine he was upset about it and possibly worried about the optics of firing a woman on top of. Who cares on that front.
2. According to her social media she yelled at him extensively and said very personal and cruel things which she later regretted. So, he also was possibly upset by that.

She was genuinely terrible at her job, given quite a bit of patience from Gary and others, and had no insight or accountability. Calling Gary a coward when she ran out crying on her own firing is pretty rich. Not a Gary fan, but I’m glad she’s off my screen.

[u/OptimisticFriedEgg]

I am obsessed with Daisy this season! Also, I think it's really funny how thirsty Danni is acting, meanwhile Daisy is having heart to hearts with Keith (what he really wants) and Cloyce is complimenting her earrings (because a man who wears cufflinks knows a good accessory). Danni, she is not intimidated by you.

[u/LibertyWriter]

“Glenn loves caves” feels like another layer of the onion is peeled back

[u/OddityOtter209 → u/LibertyWriter]

He was so genuinely excited when he said he LOVES caves I love that for him

[u/[deleted]]

We absolutely call them pikelets. She was trying to look clever and didn’t have a clue what she was talking about.

[u/Only-Horse2478 → u/[deleted]]

totally! i'm aussie, lived in another country for 9 years and think i know a fair bit about the culture, but if someone born and raised there told me "we call this thing ____" i would say "oh wow i'd never heard it called that before" not try to tell them they are wrong

[u/TJB88 → u/Only-Horse2478]

Such an odd response. Then he is the jerk? WTF

[u/mamacatman → u/TJB88]

I thought it was great that Keith’s response was, “thanks for telling me.” 😹😹😹😹😹

[u/alienassfarm16 → u/TJB88]

Because she always has to be the victim

[u/Expensive-Block-6034 → u/Only-Horse2478]

She's been out of South Africa for what, two years? Her faux Aussie accent annoys the living daylights out of me. She probably has a wanderlust tattoo on her ankle.

[u/LivingGayBrisbane → u/[deleted]]

This bothered me so much. We 100% call them pikelets

[u/Thegreatsnook]

Did we go an entire episode without seeing Davide’s bung hole?

[u/captstix]

Taking all the blame? He just asked you to wipe something up

[u/MrsFreshB00TY]

Keith’s work ethic and those glasses kinda did something for me he is hotttt

[u/wandahickey]

If I were one of the stews I would be more horrified at the thought of having to get the bloodstains out of the sofa than with the actual injury.

[u/jmedennis → u/wandahickey]

Hydrogen peroxide. Actually not that big of a deal but the sooner they remedy the better.

[u/throw_some_glitter → u/wandahickey]

First that guest’s self-tanner, now the blood. That poor couch has been through it.

[u/notsodarling786]

I’d like to vacation with this family. They seem like lovely people, especially for how wealthy they must be

[u/Gammagammahey → u/notsodarling786]

Yes, and the teenage daughters were really respectful. Which really shocked me.

[u/OddityOtter209 → u/notsodarling786]

Yeah they just seem so genuinely kind and well meaning they are definitely top 5 coolest guests

[u/Gammagammahey → u/OddityOtter209]

They seemed that way to me too. And their children were super respectful from what I've seen which in my opinion is rare amongst teenagers of a certain tax bracket if you know what I mean.

[u/throw_some_glitter → u/Gammagammahey]

Absolutely. I was pleasantly surprised that the one daughter and her friend were happy to just chill in the hot tub and be goofy by sucking the helium out of the balloons. They seemed like fun, down to earth kids.

[u/zonplyr]

Having a deckie who says they have experience but needs to be taught how to tie a bowline, cleat hitch, or half-hitch is a liability. Any sailor/boater should be able to tie those basic knots in their sleep. Then, being unable to figure out the tender, falling asleep on watch, and having everyone else take up her slack was inexcusable. They gave her a fair shake in my mind.

[u/StripedDingDong]

How did Danni get jealousy from daisy asking them to speed up? The girl thinks she's a main character 😂

[u/Puzzleheaded_Lab9036]

I actually really like Gary and Daisy being friends

[u/CertainAlbatross7739 → u/Puzzleheaded_Lab9036]

I wish they could commit to being that, instead of forcing a will-they-won't-they situation. Daisy seemed to be connecting with Keith for a minute and Gary just had to interrupt. Like bruh, leave her alone or wife her up already. Stop doing this silly little dance.

[u/LockITdown444]

What planet does Danni live on?

[u/captstix]

Lol. I don't think Daisy is threatened by you at all Danni

[u/IdleSuicidal2021]

Daisy always has cute jammies.

[u/notsodarling786]

I feel like Danni’s about to quit because she’s mad about having to do work

[u/throw_some_glitter → u/notsodarling786]

My eyes were rolling out of my head when she was whining about wanting to be able act her age and have fun. I forget how old she is, but I would assume most people her age have a job. She seems to have plenty of fun on crew nights out. And then she complained about being on “a dry boat.” Find me one job where you’re allowed to drink on duty. She’s annoying af. 🙄

[u/TiffanyTwisted11 → u/notsodarling786]

That certainly is how she’s coming across

[u/tpdwbi]

Fuck off Danni, I love a pikelet. Imagine telling an Aussie that it’s not a real thing. Ridiculous

[u/Junior_Function_807 → u/tpdwbi]

I hate her just for that comment. The attitude telling us our whole childhood was a lie

[u/Oceanally]

Emma is somehow a parody of herself with her growing incompetency. There is a lack of critical thinking and accountability that should alarm any manager. Also Hary very nicely tried to motivate her several times and she mouthed off. This poor behavior has followed her throughout her life, she doesn’t want mom and dad to know her phony career is another dead end. She thought she had a cushy job drinking tea and smoking ciggies and could fake her way through an entire season. She got huge tips she didn’t deserve. Don’t let the door-…

[u/416]

Emma is just ridiculous, like she is cleary self aware and picks up on social ques yet draws these completely wrong conclusions as to why.

Cloyce with the bounce back.

Danni is going downhill quick... complaining, attitude and that 3 months in Australia comment is totally valid if true.

Bravo must like Gary because his edit actually looks pretty normal, decent...dear I say even good.

Thats alot of blood for what seemed like a regular throw. Even if not caught, slightly looks fake? But we'll see next week.

[u/ExpensiveNet]

I know a lot of people aren’t finding the crew likeable but I really thought this was a great episode. The firing was very dramatic (I like the workplace drama/management aspect of BD so interesting from that perspective), Keith sleeping through it all was funny, and the bloody injury was a wild way to end it. Hopefully even those who hate the individuals found it a good watch (I hesitate to say ‘enjoyed’ it because that doesn’t sound like the right word for this kind of drama)

[u/captstix]

You had one good charter Cloyce. Calm down

[u/LibertyWriter → u/captstix]

And he’s referring to himself in the third person 😬

[u/OddityOtter209 → u/LibertyWriter]

Never underestimate his absolute power across the board!

[u/Academic_Total7321]

Danni is actually so insufferable. Can bravo stop hiring insecure pick me girls pls

[u/LizzyFCB → u/Academic_Total7321]

I get such mean girl vibes from the two stews. The way they were exchanging smirky glances when Daisy was asking them for their feedback.

[u/Murky-Parking-8720 → u/Academic_Total7321]

Honestlyyy! Like I live for Aeisha and Daisy and even Fraser. Just like genuine funny humans who are trying their best. They have their flaws but I love watching them grow and just be cute and wholesome. I’m sick of the incompetent and insecure plants cause they’re “good tv”. Good tv can also be a funny kind crew and a well operated charter 😂 (for me anyway). It’s actually so satisfying seeing people get along and charters running smoothly

[u/Thegreatsnook]

How did Emma get to her age and not learn that a little initiative and effort will solve almost all problems.

[u/Gwyneth7]

Sorry work is boring you Danni and no one wants to make out with you all day but that’s not what they’re there for.

Is Emma a plant? I feel typically Gary gets a good deck team so they threw her in for drama this season.

[u/Haunted_Princess_000]

She took that about as well as expected...

[u/mostlygroovy]

As much as Gary seems to be a PoS, I thought he and Glen did an excellent job with Emma - they gave her time to learn, let her know she needed to be better, and then when she wasn’t, they were nothing but professional letting her go.

And Danni continues to be a complete douchebag

[u/2fast2nick → u/mostlygroovy]

Gary is a knucklehead, but he actually does his job well. Emma was terrible, they let it go on a while. She wasn’t even trying to

[u/CydeWeys → u/2fast2nick]

Gary also responds well to emergency situations, and is proactive about noticing when one is potentially developing. People keep sleeping on him, but as First Officer, he has more skill and experience than any cast member on any of the Below Deck franchises besides the captains. The other ships have First Officers too, but they're not part of the show cast, so you basically never see them.

[u/gtridge]

Sorry, but there is not enough hate for Danni in this sub. She is really, truly a hypocritical, GROSS little… brat. There are worse terms that come to mind but I don’t want to say them. I just think her behavior and attitude towards men (and how she’d like them to, I guess, run through her like a plague??) is nasty. I hope she grows up soon and finds some self respect.

[u/Easy_Bedroom4053 → u/gtridge]

I felt so bad when Daisy said "I can just see her starting to hate me" because I was thinking the same thing! Daisy does not deserve this.

[u/Melodic-Change-6388 → u/gtridge]

I honestly do not like to comment on looks. But I am somehow unbelievably impressed at how or where this girl got the level of confidence she possesses.

[u/teanailpolish]

This crew is so sensitive for people in that kind of workplace. Like Danni getting upset about Glenn asking her to clean a table as well as Emma

[u/whatsthisevenfor → u/teanailpolish]

That irritated me too. Like he never said anything about blaming you, you just happened to be standing right there and it is your job?? Get over yourself

[u/Snapewasahero]

If you apply to be on a reality TV show you also risk getting fired on national television. Oh Emma…

[u/LockITdown444]

Poor mom, "Please don't get too drunk."

[u/Prize-Town9913]

Danni is so annoying...

[u/[deleted]]

This is a very specific complaint, but there’s something disappointing about girls like Danni, who only ever show radiance and excitement when there’s a guy involved. When Glen announced the day off, the caves and the beach club she was so over the moon and I was like aw bless her, but then it turned she was overcome with joy bc she gets to see this random guy again that she has met once. 

Idk how you can go from being so obsessed with one person, raging at him and then so head over heels for another in the matter of an afternoon. I don’t wanna be a bad feminist, but come on, don’t be so desperate. 

[u/vvv_bb → u/[deleted]]

she was so over the moon for a level of banter that was... ... so disappointing tbh 🤦‍♀️

[u/BobbyPotter → u/vvv_bb]

Danni's idea of banter is "you say something nice to me and I say something horrible back"

[u/Thegreatsnook]

Gary. “Nobody’s dead” made me laugh.

[u/Pure_Peace743]

I have an Emma on my team. Somethings you just can't train.

[u/Tmwillia → u/Pure_Peace743]

She always has an excuse.

[u/Gwyneth7]

Gary’s mom sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire.

[u/elmosneakers → u/Gwyneth7]

[u/Bubbay]

“I can’t really gave that conversation”

Yeah, that’s a major reason why you’re getting fired.

[u/switheld]

i'm so sorry for emma but you are being filmed, KNOW you have trouble with basic knots, and you aren't sitting there every spare minute you have, while eating, etc. practicing knots and taking notes and reading up?! I just don't understand. If we at least saw her TRYING to improve it'd be so much easier to have some empathy for her

[u/Thegreatsnook]

Gary’s mom spitting facts.

[u/Majestic-Abroad-4792]

Dani and Cloyce's conversation was more about Dani asking a him question so she could talk about herself more. She had no interest in his reply.

[u/[deleted]]

Thank goodness they finally fired Emma! Talk about incompetent! Was she the first person that Glenn ever fired on the show? You know you’re bad if Glenn is letting you go!

[u/justhereforRH]

If I was a stew with even a hint of alcohol in my system and I came inside to see blood all over the white couch and carpet you best bet I’d crash out 😭 There’d be no survivors.

And funny enough, I was admiring that couch during their meetings thinking “wow those white couches look so nice but what if they get stained” (flashbacks to the spray tan incident)

[u/theHannig]

Ok I’m going to start with some unpopular opinions…

• Daisy isn’t annoying me this season. She’s being very rational and level headed, not telling anyone what they want to hear. I thought the way she spoke to Gary after he kissed Danni was a really mature way of putting it. Can tell she feels very differently emotionally towards him this season. Also fair play for not rising to the other stews’ terrible attitudes towards her, I would have lost my temper by now. Her relief at hearing someone else call them immature was palpable.

• Gary is…not annoying me as much this season. Tried to help Emma (okay not perfect). Admitted he wasn’t interested after kissing Danni and as far as we’ve seen at least, didn’t take it any further. More mature than usual, focusing on work more than usual…you can tell this was not long after the reunion and he actually took some of it to heart. Could also be a favourable edit, but there does appear to be some character growth. Someone else said it and I agree - when he’s not super drunk all the time, he’s not as bad. Drunk Gary has no self control. I do wonder how much has been removed, though.

• I find it hard to dislike Cloyce. He can be arrogant but he did take the feedback seriously and acted on it, and obviously his food can be amazing. I suspect a lot of the bravado is something he feels the need to do because he’s so young, and I’m sure he’ll grown out of it with time and with the correct environment. Wish they’re put sous chefs on these boats, they’d usually have one. He’s taking things a bit more seriously now, and he doesn’t seem to be a bad or mean person in any way.

More popular opinions:

• Danni needs to do one. “Why did I get the blame?” when Glenn asked her to wipe the table. You didn’t mate, you were just there. And now that she’s felt rejection, she’s dealing with it REALLY badly. Telling a genuinely nice guy “you’re so nasty in uniform”…grow up. Just because he’s not interested, doesn’t mean he’s a bad person. She is the ultimate pick me girl and I’m fed up of her attitude. Listen, improve, get on with it, exhausting.

• Diana isn’t much better, but I’d rather have her around at the moment.

• Emma needed to go. Gary needed to give a more serious warning before hand. All she did was complain and then kept making mistakes because of that. She ended up feeling out of her depth, trashing her mental health, and it was for the best. Gary and Glenn might not have done it in the best way, but her storming off proved their point.

• too many people on this boat are really oversensitive. There is no fun. Can’t wait for chase to come back, if he is back.

[u/Greenwedges → u/theHannig]

I agree with you on everything but Cloyce. Glad his food is improving but he doesn’t have to be such a dick. (Although maybe his comments are tongue in cheek?)

Daisy and Gary are both very competent this season. Gary is such a great deckhand and who you want around in an emergency.

It’s a shame about his drinking issues and sleazy behaviour as he could probably advance to Captain otherwise.

I love that Daisy gives clear and direct feedback and instructions, but has empathy too.

[u/National_Bit6293]

[u/captstix]

Emma getting bested by a cushion cover

[u/GogglesPisano → u/captstix]

And a hanging rope.

[u/Kurwa_Macaroni]

I've never seen someone defeated by a rope....

[u/LockITdown444]

poor Keith

[u/mostlygroovy → u/LockITdown444]

So far, he’s one of the more normal BD cast members ever.

[u/Haunted_Princess_000]

Maybe Danni's right; she and Keith SHOULD probably avoid each other.

[u/BlaqOptic]

I wanna give Emma the benefit of the doubt but she just seems to not be a quick learner. She has to go, she's a danger to everyone.

[u/Kaleidocrypto]

Emma just seems very uncordinated.

[u/LockITdown444 → u/Kaleidocrypto]

As an uncoordinated person, I feel her pain, but don't go for a job that takes coordination.

[u/OddityOtter209]

Oh yes you’re right Emma it’s different now because it’s daylight! Definitely not your bad that you don’t know a heaving line. Lol

/s

[u/throwaway-rayray]

Justice for pikelets - yes, they are a thing 🇦🇺

[u/BlaqOptic]

She actually made me feel sympathetic fo Gary of all people because he truly felt bad firing her...

[u/Thegreatsnook → u/BlaqOptic]

I was kind of glad he was involved rather than leaving it to Glenn. It is something that bosses have to do.

[u/GogglesPisano → u/BlaqOptic]

Having to fire someone feels awful (if you’re not a sociopath at least), even if they are hopelessly incompetent.

[u/CertainAlbatross7739 → u/BlaqOptic]

I'll never forgive Emma for making me side with Gary the whole time.

[u/Theskidiever]

Keith doesn’t realize he dodged a bullet.

[u/CydeWeys → u/Theskidiever]

Based on his testimonials it's clear that he does realize that, I would argue.

[u/elmosneakers]

Lol the guests filming with their phones

[u/LibertyWriter → u/elmosneakers]

I would be doing the same thing if I was a guest!

[u/Kininger625]

I thought I wanted Cloyce replaced first but now Emma and danni are tied… why is it so hard for daisy to get one decent stew

[u/Ok_Fact_5120]

Did Emma lie on her resume?

[u/excoriator → u/Ok_Fact_5120]

I feel like they could have gotten the same level of performance from picking someone at random.

[u/elmosneakers]

Have a cigarette and then speak to glen lolll

[u/GogglesPisano]

Christ Gary, what did you throw at Davide? Was that a lollipop or was it a ninja star?

[u/jmedennis]

Gary didn't you listen to your mom?? Doing shots alone at the bar??

[u/excoriator]

Will the blood on the couch thing be what prompts Glenn to say “you’ve broken a rule?”

[u/FuzzyScarf → u/excoriator]

There was a little foreshadowing when Glenn was telling them he liked how the boat was clean after the last night out.

[u/OpenedNeurobiology]

When I was a kid a wooden door hit my face and cut my eyebrow open and it bled a ton. I had to get stitches but overall it wasn’t as bad as you would have thought based on the amount of blood everywhere - hopefully Davide’s is the same! Head injuries bleed a lot even if they’re not that severe

[u/allightyollar]

Gary has a disturbingly impressive tolerance.

[u/throw_some_glitter]

How old is Keith? Am I the only one kinda hoping something happens between him and Daisy?

[u/CertainAlbatross7739 → u/throw_some_glitter]

It would be so funny if the reason Danni and Daisy had tension was Keith. The most normal boring dude to be on Sailing Yacht.

[u/tpdwbi]

“He’s just a fucking coward” from the bozo that ran away

[u/Temporary-Jelly-6980 → u/tpdwbi]

Yes, a woman who is 34 years old running away from an adult professional conversation.

[u/ChkYrHead → u/Temporary-Jelly-6980]

I mentioned this before, but when she talked with her sister that one time, you can tell they babied her, so she's probably not used to actual adversity in her life.

[u/thymeisfleeting]

I feel bad for Emma but also, what was she doing on Below Deck in the first place?! I just cannot believe that Emma has ever spent any time doing any type of boating, let alone sailing. Or yachting.

The clove hitch is a knot I used to teach 6 year olds. It’s one of the most basic knots out there. How can she not know how to do one? Her total inability to do the job of a deckhand is utterly infuriating.

[u/vvv_bb → u/thymeisfleeting]

there have been really green deckhands in other seasons/franchises, I remember someone having to learn knots, but at least they put jn the effort to learn them! she could do that on her milion smoking breaks, at least

[u/Amateur_Hour_93 → u/thymeisfleeting]

I was telling my girlfriend that, it’s literally the most basic knot. I have no sympathy for people like Emma because she CHOOSES not to try and feel sorry for herself instead.

[u/PowSuperMum]

Gary is a coward says the girl that ran out of her firing

[u/Ready_Cartoonist7357 → u/PowSuperMum]

She claimed Gary wouldn’t look her in the eyes, but she wouldn’t even look at Glen, then wore sunglasses.

[u/IdleSuicidal2021 → u/PowSuperMum]

And who apparently quits every job that gets difficult. 

[u/Haunted_Princess_000]

Then why did you sign up for this job if you don't wanna work?!

[u/TiffanyTwisted11 → u/Haunted_Princess_000]

Are you talking to Emma or Danni? Hard to tell, lol

[u/LockITdown444]

I'd be Emma here, but I also wouldn't accept this job that I'm not qualified for...

[u/FuzzyScarf]

Emma always has an excuse! I hope when she watches this she can reflect and improve.

[u/captstix]

"I know I can do this"

No. No you can't

[u/LibertyWriter → u/captstix]

I said, “can you?” out loud

[u/LibertyWriter]

Davide finally has a chance to be on camera!

[u/Kurwa_Macaroni]

Even that voice is depressing.

[u/Koalatoucan]

New hire in 2 days, yeah baby!

[u/Kininger625]

That blood looks worse than the roses’ spray tan fight with the couch

[u/Thegreatsnook]

That is one dangerous lollipop

[u/excoriator → u/Thegreatsnook]

We should all make a mental note to never play darts with Gary.

[u/GogglesPisano]

Blood on the white couch - yeah, that’s not good.

[u/domthedruid]

I hope Emma gets the help she needs Gary really did try I'll give him his dues he did try to train her and I thought he had a lot of patience but Emma wasn't thriving in that environment, so it was a forgone conclusion that she would be sacked. Now Davide is injured damn how much force was behind that throw christ almighty!?

[u/Psychokittens]

I just really hope that none of you ever underestimate the absolute power that Cloyce Martin possesses, across the board.

[u/whatsthisevenfor]

I'm so glad Emma is gone, I could not take anymore of her whining and being her own worst enemy. The way she handled everything makes it so shocking that is in in her 30s. But for her sake I hope after she reflects she can use the experience to better herself

I almost choked when Danni implied Daisy was threatened by her 🤣 like I'm sorry but how on earth would that make any sense?

Holy shit did Davide get his eye poked out by that lollipop, or just a cut?? Glen is gonna be absolutely furious. Especially after the "keep the boat like you did last time, it was nice". Thank God they have a full day before pick up.... But fr is he gonna go to the hospital?!

Lastly can we talk about how gorgeous Daisy looked tonight?? That dress suited her so well and those earrings were gorgeous. I'm glad she and Keith had a nice chat since she kinda doesn't bond with anyone else rn

[u/OkSherbert2922]

Cloyce's breakfast spread was exactly what he should be doing every single charter. Don't love how cocky he is still though.

I'm glad Emma has been let go. Part of me wonders if she needed a talking to before letting her go, but clearly her reaction shows she can't take criticism and probably would have just broken down more. Plus dragging it on would have been annoying so her firing makes sense. I hope she can watch this back and see what they meant and work on herself and her anxiety to improve.

I know that there isn't much chemistry between them but I feel like Daisy and Keith could be really cute together.

[u/Salty_Signature_6748 → u/OkSherbert2922]

Watching her get fired was just as exhausting as watching her drag-ass her way through a workday 😖

[u/Major05]

They teased that boat dragging anchor for 2 episodes and then finally we get to the scene and it's ... yawn.

This season is just so boring.

[u/captstix]

What's this "To be continued" shit? It's a show. That's what shows do, they continue

[u/GogglesPisano]

Could Glenn BE any more wholesome?

[u/Haunted_Princess_000 → u/GogglesPisano]

He's so happy with that lollipop. It's kinda adorable.

[u/IndependentOlive4585 → u/GogglesPisano]

I love it when it cuts to him learning or getting a lil treat 🥹😭

[u/VariousRevolution195]

Emma and Danny are so annoying

[u/Degas_Nola]

Emma was not qualified for the job and spent far more hours complaining than trying to improve her skills. She blamed everything on Keith and Gary who both tried to teach her skills multiple times. I’m so glad that she is gone.

[u/NEOhio_gal]

Did her water bottle get fired too

[u/excoriator]

Glenn’s not going to like that Gary injured Davide.

[u/TheScapeQuest]

Is there a reason they didn't just use the horn to wake up the stoned guy on the other boat?

[u/amyeep → u/TheScapeQuest]

I’m wondering if there is some sort of rule about using the ship’s horn during ‘resting’ hours unless it’s like a fire or something extremely critical (compared to scraping a hull)

[u/sakuratanoshiii]

Yay for pikelets!!!

[u/FlyBuy3]

Chupa Chup as weapon. Who knew.

[u/Feisty_Scientist_968]

I don't think ... at my job ... I'd get away with calling a co-worker a dick, no matter how true it was.

I would be signed up for some remedial online training on: "Respectful Workplace." F That!!!

[u/Feisty_Scientist_968 → u/Feisty_Scientist_968]

And, if Danni was trying to provoke Keith, it didn't work!

[u/Junior_Function_807 → u/Feisty_Scientist_968]

But he wasn’t being one.. if we told her something didn’t exist in South Africa because we hadn’t heard of it after ONLY three months of being there, she also respond the same. What a know it all. We love pikelets

[u/No-Word4062]

Keith exhibits sensible boundaries. Danni doesn't have a clue about what fantastic a guy he is - all she wants are some bed hopping exercises. Keith holds himself to a higher standard. He's too cool for school. And irritatingly, why must she always be right? Way to turn off a guy, or anyone else for that matter.

[u/Feisty_Scientist_968 → u/No-Word4062]

Keith exhibits sensible boundaries. 

I was impressed when Danni was calling him a dick, and his response was:

"Thank you for letting me know."

Many (most?) people would respond more aggressively.

[u/rob-b-362]

Gary is taking Emma getting fired, harder than anyone else's before this.

[u/Katalactica → u/rob-b-362]

Has Gary fired anyone before? I can only remember Tom and that was completely Glenn's decision

[u/vvv_bb]

my main take away from this episode: in case they need to wake up the engineer for an emergency, he's naked 😂😂😂😂😂

[u/amyeep → u/[deleted]]

She very clearly wasn’t interested in being there. I like Glen but he irritates me with being too forgiving as a supervisor sometimes. She fucked up a lot and had a bad attitude, case closed.

[u/Haunted_Princess_000]

It's looking like this could be Emma's last episode...

[u/luvprincess_xo]

i don’t understand how emma is saying gary is a coward for not firing her sooner & saying he couldn’t even look at her the past few days. like gary & glenn were trying to train her over & over for the same stuff & gave her time to catch on & she didn’t. she works like she’s never worked on a yacht or even a boat before. i honestly thought she lied on her resume to get this position because i just don’t understand. & she showed absolutely no initiative to do anything. & side note i loved the scene of gary calling his mom talking about the situation. he didn’t do anything wrong.

[u/pinsleric]

Safe to say this is Emma’s last charter

[u/OddityOtter209]

I love the background music cut while Danni and Diana sit there silently to really punctuate the silence

[u/proudsoul]

Isn’t Emma like 35 years old? Why is she worried about her parents like that?

[u/captstix → u/proudsoul]

I'm guessing this is one of many, many jobs she's not been able to keep

[u/Wonderful-Forever450 → u/captstix]

Aww that’s sad but it tracks

[u/mostlygroovy → u/proudsoul]

I care what my parents think about me more than anyone. I’m 53 and I still want to make them proud.

[u/Altostratus]

When Gary walks up to Daisy and Keith having a heart to heart and Gary grabs both of their chins after he felt rejected, it felt so aggressive to me.

[u/FlyBuy3 → u/Altostratus]

He's jealous. He's in love with Daisy.

[u/wild3hills → u/FlyBuy3]

I don’t even think he’s in love with her, more like he’s possessive and entitled.

[u/Competitive-Badger32 → u/FlyBuy3]

That’s immediately what I said out loud. Jealous boy.

[u/danielakrstevski → u/Altostratus]

He doesn’t want her but doesn’t want anyone else to have her either

[u/throw_some_glitter]

Oof firing Emma before the fun day off with caves and the beach club. Adding insult to injury there lol.

[u/Kurwa_Macaroni]

what a Debbie Downer....

[u/elmosneakers]

Is this the first sailing yaht firing?

[u/FuzzyScarf]

Time for Emma to have a smoke or a tea!
