She's your new deckhand who is also sick. So if you Hear some retching in the room next door. That's probably her. I hope you guys are feeling better. Update me in the morning.

Brittany
So get into a cab.
Sandy
Okay. Thanks so much.
Heather
13 hours before charter. Do not get to sleep, Josh. And Josh is like, you're going to have to force me to stop working. Tampering. And so now it's time to go to bed. And now it's 2:35am Someone looks at their wiener, which I thought was really funny. Was it Max? I don't know which guy it was, but someone just like, lifted up the covers and just stared at their wiener for a minute in the dark and then put the COVID That was probably Max.
Brittany
That seems like Max. Max behavior.
Sandy
Is it still there?
Heather
Still got it.
Brittany
Next day, 6am and six hours before the charter. And V is checking the. The. The dryer and everything. Max is checking with Josh. He's like, asking if Josh slept well. And Josh's like, no, man. You know, I had listened to music all day, so I had to put some music in my ear. I found it kind of helped me. You know, I used to work in kitchens where we didn't have much music for years. And I didn't really how much it affected me left that kind of work. And I would go home and I would just shake that tambourine for hours on end. And I was like, wait a second. I need to incorporate this into my patches.
Heather
So he tells us that the box they want you to fit in at a Michelin star restaurant is, like, robotic. And he's like, really creative guys. He's got long hair, so he had to get away. And he really sees himself as an artist. And he enjoys all sorts of different mediums. Writing, writing, music, playing guitar, dressing like rock stars, creating different styles of food, Rubik's cubes, penis art, penis puppetry. It's all part of an art form, guys. He'd wear. No, he'd wear nail varnish, but he can't because he has to work in the kitchen. And it might come off in the food, but he's that much of an artist. He would even wear nail polish. So rebel.
Brittany
Wow. Wow. Did Basquiat just come on board? Because this man is an artist. He is one thumbnail away from being at the MoMA.
Heather
He's got AirPods. So he is basically a Grammy winner. Okay?
Brittany
He loves his music. Somebody's like, oh, so you need music.
Sandy
Okay.
Brittany
But let me.
Sandy
Let me find me a little tam.
Heather
Tam.
Sandy
Tambourine, you know?
Brittany
He's like, oh. He's like, got one right here. You never know when you might need it. You need it right now because now's the moment you might need it. Yeah, we're going to Jingle Jangle Jungle in here.
Heather
Okay. Yeah.
Brittany
Yeah.
Heather
So now Captain Sandy receives a text from Nathan. He's like, feeling better. Be there in 20. How do baby cribs work? So now more cleaning commences and crew uniforms need to get done. Come on, guys. Come on, V. And she's like, all.
Nathan
Right, here's how you do it.
Heather
Just throw the uniforms in. Into Express 30. She's like, I see. See what you're saying.
Nathan
Do you?
Heather
Yeah. Go to Express in 30. No, the washing machine, not the store. Got it.
Brittany
Go to Express.
Heather
I know a dead person.
Nathan
We've already covered that.
Brittany
Please don't make Starbucks. Being a steward, my technique is called winging it. That's my technique. So now Nathan is walking up to the boat. I was looking for any signs of clenching. It's like, sorry. I know, I know. Producers. He wants me to have a nice slow mo. Walk up to the boat, but I really need to get to the loo. But he says hi, and Sandy's like.
Sandy
He's like, oh, my God, I'm so glad you're here. How are you? Did you bring that crib you're working on?
Nathan
He's like, no, I couldn't.
Brittany
Yesterday was a disaster. Not only did I have. Not only did I have, you know, diarrhea coming out every hole of my body, but I still couldn't figure out that damn crib. But we're here. We're going to make it work.
Heather
Yeah. Well, the guys did a real good job. You know, Max said a lot of things in French and threatened to cut people's heads off. So that was fun. I love a go getter, you know? So Max has more experience. He's got more than the other two. So I'd go with Max. You know, just go for Max. I love him. You know what? Max. Max got some. What do they call that? Where they tell you things in your brain and it tricks you into doing it. Hypnotized. He's been hypnotized. So I think he's. You know what? He's basically the captain now. Okay. Guess what? Max is now the lead producer on Wind. I quit. What am I even here for? Max is amazing. She's going to eat those words so hard. She's going way too hard for Max. And this isn't like Sandy, right?
Brittany
Right. Yeah, it isn't. But maybe she has a new attitude. So Nathan goes in, he meets Christian and Nathan and V. And everything is just more like, oh, where do things go?
Heather
Everything. And.
Brittany
And, you know, Nathan's giving orders about, go to this port side, go to that side. Whatever Josh has is making food in the kitchen and Nathan's looking at cvs. And now, finally, we meet Tessa. Tessa, who also was sick, is finally arriving at the boat.
Heather
Oh, oh, where is Tessa? Here she comes. And Max is like, oh, dwabble is coming. Blah. Take a look. Give him some time. Just don't name the lead deckhand right yet. Give it till charter three. Before you say Max is president of the boat. Okay? And Max is already in love with Tessa. It's like, look at this, princess. Hello, mademoiselle. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Yes, you. Walking dildo. Walking dildo.
Brittany
Bonjour, madame.
Sandy
Where are you from?
Brittany
She's like. She's like, oh, I don't understand that.
Nathan
She's like, well, I thought about coming yesterday, but then the thought. Just thought of myself on the dick. I just couldn't. I couldn't do it at all. Hey, I got.
Heather
My last two boats have been 120 meters plus. I'm used to working with the team of 10, 10 boys who I raise from babies.
Nathan
Okay? You know, we get a job jobless at the start of the day and have no rules. So in my mind, I'm just like, oh, this will be easier. It's just like a small scale of what I'm already used to on the McBee family farm.
Heather
Okay, go change. Please don't speak in that accent anymore.
Nathan
It's like, oh, God, I'm not stopping. You can't take the country out of. Can take the country girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl.
Sandy
De crew deck crew. Meet me on the main deck after the preference sheet meeting. For instance, a good example of a preference is I prefer her not to speak in that crazy voice. Okay, thank you so much.
Heather
Gaze. My first preference is not to let Tessa sing You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings.
Sandy
Actually, I'm okay with that song. It's a. It's a nice song.
Brittany
That's a good one.
Sandy
That's actually a good one. That's a good one.
Brittany
Now we have our.
Heather
That's a meeting. Preference sheet meeting. Separate rooms. Everybody separate. I like that. In all the years of below deck they finally decided to change up and they're like, we need every. Every producer on every below deck ever invented in one room. All right, what are the new ideas to keep this show fresh? We should have preference sheetings in different preference sheet meetings in different rooms. Oh, my God. We're here for another decade. We're here for another decade. Margaret, you just got a raise.
Brittany
I love this idea because before it was a captain telling the heads of departments what to do, but now it's heads of departments telling other people what to do. It's just a whole new show. I love it. And what was this? How about this? Everyone gets an iPad that they can use for 10 minutes to look at the preference sheets.
Heather
Why cannot the fine dildo on here? There's child blocks on their max. Okay. Jesus Christ. Okay, preference sheet meeting. So let's find out who these people are. Guys, the primary is Carl. I'm Carl. I'm a serial entrepreneur. I'm renowned in the world of non alcoholic web startups. I'm really into websites that don't drink soft bitcoin.
Brittany
Give me a soft cyber cybercrime.
Nathan
Oh, so, okay, so he's a. He's a douchebag. Friends of call Eunice, Philip, Jess, Maria da Vinci and his fiance Alexandra, hoping for a luxury professional service on a street.
Heather
One day. One day one. Carl and his group want to indulge in the water toys and get ready for their bitcoin extravaganza. Oh, off. Are these really bitcoin people? Who really wants that? If you're a bitcoin person, do you really need everything to say bitcoin and have bitcoin parties? Is it really that big of a thing?
Brittany
Like, what is a bitcoin extravaganza? Like, bitcoins don't even have a tangible form. Like, is it that, like, you have to, like, sit there and, like, wait for a computer to find a cake and it's like, oh, we did it. Now we get to eat the cake.
Heather
Yeah, it's just a bunch of dudes sitting around going, brah, bitcoin's gonna be at a million by 2030. You heard it here first. You heard it here first.
Nathan
All right, well, day two, the group would like to explore the charming coastal town of Ciches.
Sandy
Okay, go.
Brittany
Cool.
Sandy
Okay, so everyone, let's get to it because we've got guests coming in one hour. Glad we read through their preference sheet. With only 60 minutes, this makes a lot of sense to do it this.
Brittany
Soon before they arrive.
Sandy
You know what I like doing a preference Sheet meeting after provisions. That makes a lot of sense.
Brittany
That's such a good point.
Heather
Let's talk about the guests and prepare five minutes before they come on board. Okay, this is going to be great. Just everybody walk around and say bitcoin a lot.
Brittany
Okay? So everyone goes into different teams and everything.
Sandy
Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
Heather
Josh is flirting with Kizzy. He likes her perfume. And she's like, oh, my God, he's flirting with me. Can't wait till he does. So Asha is happy with cabins, and it's time for the jock. Here come the bitcoin people. Which means there is one extremely homely person with a really hot wife. At least one. We know there's going to be at least one in this case. His name is da Vinci, and he says bitcoin every other five minutes. He's like, yo, bro, the boat the bitcoin built. Am I right? What are we going to see? A bitcoin. Yes. I'm like Captain Ahab, constantly serving for Moby Bitch bitcoin. I do believe that.
Brittany
20,000 bitcoins under the sea. Am I right, everyone?
Heather
Hey, I do believe that he's rich, though, because he really does have a hot girlfriend.
Brittany
Yeah, that's true.
Heather
And it's not coming from his personality or his looks.
Brittany
No, it's not.
Sandy
Hey, hey, everyone.
Brittany
Welcome to motor yacht Bravado on Bravo. Bravado on Bravo.
Sandy
See, it's wordplay, okay?
Brittany
It's confusing to you.
Sandy
That's okay. Asia's going to show you around the boat, and we're going to head out to sea and get your first anchorage so you guys can get in the water, because guess what? America wants to see your pasty bodies. Okay? Come on, let's have fun.
Heather
So Asha gives the tour, and she's showing them the aft act, the aft deck, and they're talking about breakfast service. And one of the guests is like, oh, my God, we're going to have to get you one with diamonds, honey. And Christian's like, oh, man, I guess I need to buy bitcoin.
Brittany
Jeez.
Heather
Really rich. They're talking about diamonds. I found that really rich people don't talk about being rich that much. Really?
Brittany
Do they know?
Heather
Unless they're faking and about to go broke.
Brittany
Rich screams wealth whispers. So they look at all this, the whole jet skis and decks and everything. And this guy's like, Max is very.
Sandy
Excited because, oh, they are crypto investors.
Brittany
You know, they're like Robespierre of money. And Nathan is like, saying, oh, he probably wipes his ass with, like, a 50 year old note. So there's. The tour continues. Torah, Torah. Torah to our tour. The master.
Heather
No, no.
Sandy
I was gonna say the primary suite's really big this season. I was just gonna say that. That's all.
Heather
Oh, it is. It sure is big. And then there's a room with two little twin beds. People are all mad. Like, wait a minute. We're not splitting this evenly, are we? Because this is a little unfair. And Asha goes, you should see all rooms. That was funny. So Captain Sandy's like, I lived in Barcelona for years. I know this marina. Like, the back of my hands are these even my hands. Whose hands are these? Whose hands? When did my hands get this? I need different hands.
Sandy
Have I always.
Heather
Give me my hands back, please.
Sandy
Wait a second. I got a freckle now, huh? Well, you know, I love it here in Barcelona. This was like my old stomping ground. You know, I was.
Brittany
They.
Sandy
They call me the Gigi Fernandez of.
Brittany
Walley ball in Barcelona.
Sandy
But, you know, it's. You know what? You know, you got to have experience. Getting off the dock should be easy. And when you have experience, you know where the. You know. You know where to place the people and entrust them. And I trust Nathan. I know we can do this. I know we can run a boat. I mean, it's as easy as putting together a crib. Am I right?
Heather
All right, I'll have Tessa and Kristen on the stern, and the guests are looking at their monogram towels and like, oh, my God, it's B for bitcoin.
Nathan
Because we like bitcoin, guys.
Brittany
B for off.
Heather
That's. Shut up. Shut the upper, but.
Brittany
Shut the fuck up. But you're stupid.
Heather
Okay, so lines are safe. Drop. Guys, Lines are safe to drop. Let's do it. Drop the lines. Blow line. Release line.
Nathan
Clear. Starts like, we're all gonna die.
Heather
Captain Glenn is somewhere, like, why isn't she talking about how everyone could die within the next three minutes?
Brittany
Adventure. So the line's going up and everything.
Sandy
And.
Brittany
And meanwhile, what? They're trying to leave. But everyone, like, all the deck crew has questions. Tessa's like, oh, my God.
Nathan
The. The. The.
Heather
The.
Nathan
The bridge thing is not going in. The button's not working. How do I do this? Anything?
Brittany
He's like, all right, well, you know, hold on. We gotta take the. The lines out. What about the lazarette? We have lazarette? Or what about the forward peak? What about the forward aft? What about the boat? What about the. What about the crib? Are there any ants around?
Heather
Here.
Brittany
And he's like, having to run around.
Nathan
Like, how do I do this? How do I press a button?
Brittany
You just put your finger on it and you press.
Nathan
But do I do it this way?
Brittany
No, you're twisting it.
Nathan
But how do I put it around?
Brittany
Like, just put your finger on it and press.
Nathan
I don't get it.
Heather
And finally, it's just like, ask the engineers for help, please. Jesus Christ.
Brittany
Is like, ask Bjork, please.
Heather
Yeah, ask Barki. Okay. And Max has the starboard. He's a clear channel. Clear. I cut off its head. And da Vinci is like, bitcoin. Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin. Carl says, yeah, there's always bigger yachts, but you can never have the biggest yacht unless you're a Jeff. Bitcoin. Bezos, Mariah. Engineer. Engineer. Engineer. Engineer.
Nathan
Is Tesla here? Is Tesla. Please, I'm about to die. I can't get the laser back onto the boat.
Heather
He's like, don't do it over the radio. Just go down. He's like, oh, is he down there?
Nathan
I'm sorry, I don't even know how to use the radio.
Heather
So he's like freaking out because everything's going to shit. And he's like, yeah, I can see this team's not really capable of giving 100% quite yet. Oh, I'm all set. Thanks, Nathan. God, that went smoothly. Hi, everybody.
Sandy
This is big one.
Heather
Blah. You did it.
Brittany
So Nathan's like, oh, God, this is a nightmare. So, like, yeah, so now he's giving some more orders around. Asia's asking, asking the guys what they do, and this guy Philip is like.
Sandy
You have a real estate company in.
Brittany
Dubai and Carl's like, in Dubai, you can buy anything in crypto. Like, you can get like, even a functional non alcoholic bar there. Brick and mortar. Buy it all in crypto.
Nathan
Scott's really into crypto and every time.
Heather
He tries to talk about it to me. So, yeah, all crew, all crew. 10 minutes. 10 minutes. And they're like, yeah. And da Vinci is like, yeah, I can order cash to my house. They bring me $10 million whenever I want it.
Brittany
Yeah, yeah. I don't get to keep it. I only get to keep the $5. I'm allowed. But you know, it's cool that they bring it in in a bag that has 9,000,995, 000 other than 95, 99.
Nathan
But we get it, we get it. You only get $5.
Brittany
So.
Sandy
Okay, everyone. All crew. ETA in 10 minutes. ETA. Could Capri.

On a taxi in 10 minutes. Get ready. Get those ankles ready to be exposed to the sun.
Brittany

Sandy
Get that suntan lotion out because the capri pants are coming in.
Heather
Everyone get ready for that. Two inches of pure suntan on those ankles. Everybody. Let's get to it.
Sandy
It's like cracking the window in your.
Brittany
Car on a hot day, you know?
Heather
So Josh and Nathan are talking, and Josh is like, hey, Shagga. And he's like, hey, top sh. I'm gonna behave myself this year, though, telling you I'm on my best behavior. And he's just like, whatever.
Nathan
I don't believe it. When's the last time you talked to Gail? I love girl.
Brittany
Days ago. I think he's like, oh, really?
Nathan
So you guys are fine?
Brittany
It's like, no. Yeah, we're friends. Yeah.
Nathan
Okay.
Heather
Oh, so they broke up, which is good to know because the previews are like, Nathan's cheating on a pregnant lady all season long. So it's good to know that they're at least broken up.
Brittany
Which, by the way, just goes to show, like, Gail, like, one of the hottest people we've ever seen on Bravo. And even like this, like, you're not gonna. You're not gonna lock that down. Nate. I mean, obviously he does eventually, but, like, seriously, this is just. This is. This life is just not fair.
Heather
Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Brittany

Brittany
Yeah.
Heather
Get him now.
Brittany
Well, after the season, we went traveling for six or seven weeks together, and then we tried to maintain it, but the distance was an issue. And because of how busy I was working 13 hours a day, I just wasn't sister in a ball. Also, she kept on trying to have me build small little structures, and it was too difficult.
Nathan
Oh, well, it's hard doing distance when you're, like, fully commandless. You're fully committed, which, of course, why would you ever fully commit to a gorgeous supermodel that, for some reason, works on boats?
Heather
I just have to around, like, well.
Nathan
You'Re a young man. That's what you're supposed to do.
Heather
And Josh is like, yeah, he's a shagga. That's right.
Nathan
All right, put the tambourine down, please.
Heather
We don't need that right now.
Brittany
So Carl has something to say. It's always such a calm feeling on a boat.
Sandy
Oh.
Heather
Oh, yeah. Da Vinci says, you gonna buy one? You gonna buy one, Carl? You want me to order $10 million? What's your budget, Carl? What's your budget?
Brittany
He's like, I'd say 30 million. I'm like, yes. I. I'm. I'm really glad he enjoys the con. How calming it is to be on a boat. You know, the sort of thing that makes most people want to vomit off the side of it, and then if you know you're unlucky, it, like, perishes, perishes, and you all die.
Heather
Coming.
Brittany
Very calming.
Heather
Well, I'm ready when you guys are. Two shackles. Two shackles. Two shackles. So now Asia is telling V to go run some plates for lunch. And V is like, is it okay to be in socks for lunch service?
Nathan
I was like, oh, please wear your shoes.
Heather
Where did we find these people?
Nathan
Who is this person?
Brittany
Is it okay if I just, like, show up in, like, some gym shorts and, like, a crop top?
Nathan
No.
Heather
Can I please feed the guests? Booger straight from my nose?
Nathan
No.
Heather
The fuck is this crew coming from? Okay, so then Josh is like, okay, these are sourdough chia butter rolls. Get them out there. I'm an artist. So now time to get the naughty boys out, guys, because water toys need to be out immediately within 45 minutes. This is a captain sandy vessel.
Brittany
Yes. So the first thing that has to go out are the naughty boys, which, as you may know, are like those kind of like floating platforms. I'm not skilled in this area. I don't have any experience, but as far as I know, it's like you inflate them and then you tie them to the boat and then you're done.
Heather
So seems easy, but apparently it's not. We learned today that it's very difficult. No, that guy Christian sits down there trying to get these things tied for what they make seem like an hour. I mean, they make it seem like it's 10 hours. What is happening over there?
Brittany
They've got a lot of. A lot of naughty boy stuff to do. So they are. Yeah, they're like inflating it forever. They're trying to figure out the pump, but, like, it seems like they're already inflated. They just can't seem to like, wrangle them.
Nathan
Like, wait a second, how do we.
Brittany
Tie this to this?
Heather
The water keeps moving.
Nathan
It needs to stay still. Someone tell the ocean to stop it.
Heather
Stop it.
Nathan
Cut it out, ocean.
Heather
And Tess is like, should we attach it's something before we keep blowing it.
Nathan
Up or we do we blow it up first?
Heather
And yes, it's a disaster down there. So meanwhile, quinoa salad's coming out. Baba ganoush, you guys. Baba fucking ganoush is coming out.
Brittany
Yeah, bro.
Heather
And Carl's like, you still have that 22 year old Russian, right? Da Vinci's like, yeah, we're talking about the chef here. Wait. Oh. Because just one of the guests is like, we have a chef every day, every meal. You guys are not really rich. I don't fucking believe you. Rich people don't talk like this. Yeah, bro, I'm about to spend 30 million on a boat. Really? Well, we have a Russian chef every.
Brittany
Day, so, yeah, this is how a rich person speaks.
Sandy
You know what?
Brittany
I just love to cook. I mean, unfortunately I'm really busy, but thankfully we have this wonderful girl named Pasha who's from Russia and, like, she's just great. And I try to get in there as much as I can, but, you know, sometimes I just have to say, pasha, just do this for me. Which is like, rich. Which rich Wasp for, like, Pasha cooks everything. I don't even go in the kitchen. But, like, if you're wealthy, you try to pretend like you still do it or.
Sandy
I love her. She's wonderful.
Brittany
We just go to the farmer's market together, and we just. We look at all the fresh produce, and we talk about what the meal is going to be. We sort of arrange it all together, and she executes it. She's so much better than I am. I mean, sometimes I can't go to the farmer's market, so she just goes on ahead without me, which is also rich, for she goes to supermarket, and I stay back and watch tv.
Heather
Yeah. Like, who knew that you could find a child locked in an airport? Take them home, make them a part of your family. And, I mean, the way she cooks, it's like she can see into me, you know? God, I mean, what a talent. What a talent. So anyway, do you guys like tuna? You know, it's like a subtle. It's a more subtle way of bragging, but these guys are like, yes. Yeah. We got bitcoin and $30 million delivered to us every morning for breakfast.
Brittany
It's. It reminds me of Caroline Fleming when she brought the ladies of London to Denmark, and they went to a restaurant, and she was like, you know what? I love Comte cheese. They don't have it here. But I remember coming here once, and I asked, do you have Comte cheese? And they ran all over the city just to find Comte cheese for me. Isn't that the sweetest thing? Which is her way of being like, I yelled at them and said, I'm a fucking member of the royal family, and if you don't get me Comte cheese, I will never come back to this restaurant ever again.
Heather
Right? Because the point wasn't like, oh, I forced them to get me Comte cheese. It was like, isn't the staff here just so. So accommodating? They're just such wonderful people.
Brittany
Yes.
Heather
So now they're. I mean, this food does look great. He's Josh maybe a clown, but he does look like he makes good food. I mean, he's making. He's making a ton of food. And the lamb chops, they cut into the lamb chops. They look perfect. I mean, you can see with a lamb chop, you can tell. I mean, they kind of. Of bounce off each other when he puts them on the plate. They're juicy. They. They look like they're cooked perfectly. Impressive. Impressive, Josh. I did not see this one coming.
Sandy
I have to say, I liked his.
Brittany
Like, platter of fish. He just had like all this fish that came tumbling out. At one point I was like, that's cool, you know?
Heather
Yeah. So then, naughty 2:45pm Time spent launching Naughty Boys. 15 minutes. Deck crew, deck crew. Can I have one person to the boat for the life jacket to retrieve the Jet Ski? The Jet Ski is now. So we have another moment where shit's just floating out in the middle of the ocean.
Brittany
Yeah, it's almost like a ritual at the start of a below deck season. Something floats off into the. Into the distance. And now Josh comes, brings more food to the table. And while that's happening, we see now it's been 30 minutes spent launching the Naughty Boys, which again, floatable. The floatable floating platforms that just need to be tied to the boat. That's it. Just something's floating. You put in the water and you tie it on. That's it.
Heather
Yeah, that's all. You can do it. They can't do jet Skis. They're like, oh, we can't get this thing tied. How are we supposed to get jet Skis out? And Carl's like, yeah, I can't do jet skis. Those are really hard. So whatever, guys, the crew are gonna get the water toys in. By the time you finish here, everything will be in the water because everything's going perfectly this season. And I'm sure everything's already out there just waiting for y'. All Gas to and ready to go.
Brittany
Yeah. So Max is telling us n tries.
Sandy
His best, but I think he's got.
Brittany
Different management strategy as me. I am not going to whip you with some. With. With the, the, the. The shame and say sham shammies and say, let's do it. I won't whip you with shame either. And I'll take my guillotine out of my suitcase. Max, you have no leadership skills. What is he even talking about? And the producer's like, did you pack your guillotine? Oh, yes, I always pack my guillotine with me. It's a bit expensive when I travel. But yeah, he's with it. Humor. Robespierre humor.
Heather
So Nathan is watching them still try to get these things tied, which they still can't do. And he's like, I think we need to get a system down here. And Max is like, yeah, we'll do an OT course. Shouldn't you guys know how to do knots? You work on a belt. Isn't this, like basic? This show worries me. It really does. I mean, Barkley can't do everything. He's one man.
Brittany
Yeah, it's it's too much. So Nathan's, like, mortified. He's saying, it's a disgrace. And he's like, oh, God, this is. This is really terrible. And so they're still. They're just fumbling about, you know, trying to get these toys out. And he's like. Nathan's like, just get the jet skis out. Like, don't worry about these naughty boys, you know? And Tess, like.
Nathan
But worry about the panel boards.
Brittany
He's like, oh, that's our board side, for sake. So Sandy's watching it all, and she's.
Sandy
Like, you know what? This is Nathan's first time leading a team, so I'm not going to apply too much pressure, but I need them to know that they need to get everything out quicker. Because by Charter three, it should be precision. It's like, every time. Every time they start a new season of wind, I'm like, by episode three, this better pick up. Otherwise, I don't know if I'm on board for another season.
Heather
Yeah. And it's just a fucking mess out there. And they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off. And the girls inside are watching and cracking up as, like, are you enjoying.
Nathan
The shit show, girls?
Heather
They're like, yeah, this is so entertaining. You have no idea. Okay, so now it's time to jet ski. And Tessa's getting annoyed. Christian's like, well, when they tell us to do it, we have no idea how to do it, so they need to tell us how to do it.
Nathan
And Tessa's like, g not teaching us nothing.
Heather
Guys, you should know how to do this stuff.
Brittany
Yeah. So it's now 90 minutes that the guests have been waiting to get on their jet skis. And Sandy is like. She's just watching. She's like, oh, gosh. But they finally get on. They finally got on the jet skis. And they're playing around. They're having fun times. And then Kizzy goes into the. The galley, and she's like, here's your knife. And he and Josh is like, well, this could be your knife if you like it in the pantry. You don't have to keep on coming. Coming back to the kitchen to give it back to me.
Sandy
She goes, oh, you don't want me to come back?
Brittany
It's like, oh, I want you to come back. Come back whenever you want. You can shake a tambourine with me. Yes, woman.
Sandy
Okay. All right.
Heather
She's like, boys tend to like me. I love, like, playing with them. You know, I've been like, a little Puppeteer. And I'm like, dance, boys. Dance, boys. Like, look at me.
Brittany
Kizzy.
Heather
Kizzy Kitchener, the hottest girl, the hottest room in the whole house. So now they're flirting over bread. And he's like, do you need some bread? And she's like, yeah. He's like, yeah, it's got so fucking much love in it that you don't even understand. She's like, oh, I can taste the love in your bread. Oh, yeah. God damn it, bread. Yes. Give me your yeast. Give me your yeast. Yeah, it's disturbing. So. Okay, we gotta be faster, Nathan. We got to be faster. Don't be sorry. You're learning. Okay, now, what do we know from you? Last season, you had terrible hair. The whole world told you had terrible hair, and you showed up with terrible hair again. So you're learning. That's the important thing.
Sandy
Yeah, right?
Brittany
And then we see Kizzy. She texts three hearts to someone named Tommy. We don't know who Tommy is, but he's just received three hearts. We don't know. Do we know who Tommy is?
Heather
It's the musical.
Brittany
Just, like, just as a reminder, I would love to be part of your company. So here's three hearts. She's actively auditioning musical.
Heather
I love that the guests are happy. And now we have to get a bitcoin chocolate fantasy theme party for dinner. Totally normal. So they're figuring out what to do for that. Meanwhile, Josh is like, yeah, you never know when guests are going to ask you to dress up or do a silly dance or whatever. A lot of chefs want to hide in the galley, but I'm an artist. I enjoy creativity. When I was in Nicaragua, I actually met a clown, and he trained us for two weeks on the craft, and now he dresses like a clown. And this is when I started booing my television. I said, no, let's just start a screaming, no. Pass. Okay, pass.
Brittany
I wonder if. I wonder if clowning is different in Nicaragua than, say, like, the Bronx. Right? Other regional. Regional nuances that go into the clown arts.
Heather
Well, I don't know who ripped off who, but it's, you know, the big lip mouth painted around the mouth. I mean, basically, it's like Lala Kent. It's like Lala Kent in both places.
Brittany
He's like, I'm going to juggle, and then afterwards, I'm going to a squirt.
Heather
Yeah.
Brittany
So, yeah, he is in clown face. And I'm mortified. Mortified for him, mortified for all the clowns. I'm just mortified for everything.
Heather
Yeah. I kind of gave up. I just booed the TV and just kind of sat back and shook my head for the next 10 minutes. So V is now hunched over, and Kizzy comes and puts her finger up her butt, and she's like, oh, my God. That nearly sent you flying. It's like, oh, my God, stop it. I like it.
Brittany
And then Nathan is asking the deck team to put the whip out on the starboard side. So. Which basically means secure the tender. And of course, this is not going to go well.
Heather
So Christian's like, what is that? Tessa's like, it's to secure the tender.
Nathan
Even I know that one. Come on.
Brittany
So then Asia stops by the galley.
Nathan
And says, this is the first time that I feel like I'm over 30. My body is really sore.
Heather
Meanwhile, we've got Christian and Tessa trying to figure out rock ropes again, which is not.
Brittany
It's not going well again.
Heather
And Nathan's like, oh, my God. Attach a clip to the eye. Attach the eye on the whip iron the whip iron the whip. What are we doing on the whip on this one?
Nathan
Is this a web?
Heather
Oh, they don't even know how to put whips. Oh, my God, Please. The jet ski is floating away.
Brittany
Another thing's floating. So the. So he goes after the jets. Nathan's on the tender. He goes after the jet ski on the tender. But then Max goes, it's an emergency. And he just jumps off the boat.
Sandy
And then he's like, max, no.
Brittany
Oh, geez. So he goes swimming to get the.
Heather
One of the guests goes, I don't know what they're doing. One guy's swimming.
Brittany
I just like, Max going, it's in the motion sea. I mean, literally, there's a tender going to fetch the jet ski. And so then Nathan gets the jet skis. Then Max has to swim back, and Sandy's watching, like, oh, God. I mean, it's like Keystone cops over there.
Heather
Oh, my God. What happened to that waverunner? Why did it drift away? Did it have a date with normal?
Brittany
Christian's like, well, it was my fault. I. I got distracted because I got another number from a. From a. From a seahorse over there. So I wasn't paying attention. And so he didn't know how to do the knot.
Heather
So it flows.
Brittany
That's not. Not.
Heather
Not landing. Captain Sandy's like, just that. No. Okay. No. He's like, yeah, we're gonna have to have a meeting. You're gonna have to have a huge meeting. You're gonna have weeks of training. This is crazy.
Brittany
Yeah.
Heather
You have a boat Crew who doesn't know what a whip is and doesn't know how to tie a knot. That's not good.
Brittany
Yeah, it's not good at all. So Nathan's like, well, it's just got to cut a wee bit hectic there for a moment, but I'll get them on the same wavelength.
Sandy
It's like, yeah, do it fast, fast.
Nathan
It's an absolute show. I've just been standing at the swim platform watching things. Terrible.
Heather
So now Carl's recording himself. He's like, I'm currently in Spain right now on a beautiful, beautiful boat. And the question is, of course, are we going to see bitcoin going lower? Oh, that's what we all wonder today. Is bitcoin going lower or is bitcoin going higher? Let's go back to the charts. The best time to buy bitcoin. Always, always. Today. Yesterday. Yesterday is the best day to buy bitcoin. Guys, thanks for being with me on this special livestream about bitcoin. Buy it now.
Brittany
Oh, good. Better bust. Never let a rustle your goods. Your better and your betters, your best. And you're all buying bitcoin.
Heather
But also, this is why I don't believe these guys because we're doing Carl voice from Summer House. But this guy, this is how he really does it. He's like, I'm currently in Spain on a beautiful boat. Bitcoin. Always buy it. It is always a good buy. Bitcoin.
Brittany
Nothing could sound more fire festy and like con artisty than this guy being like, look at me, I'm on a yacht. Buy it. Buy the bitcoin. Buy it like as soon as possible. Buy it tomorrow, today. Like, get it as soon as possible. I'm like, okay, Mr. Ponzi scheme, how much money do you owe? Like, like, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
Heather
Bitcoin's not something you sell at an MLM or something. It's not like they're making profit off of people buying, you know what I mean? Like, they're not making commissions. I don't know.
Brittany
I guess people are buying bitcoin. Won't that drive up, doesn't that drive up bitcoin horse?
Heather
I mean, yeah, so everybody's buying it, but it's just they're making it sound like, I don't know, it sounds like an MLM cult, you know, like those leggings or whatever we did that documentary about. What was that? The Lululemon? No, no, it wasn't Lululemon. Lularoe.
Brittany
Lularoe. Yeah, yeah, I Don't know, there's just something about, like, the urgency and being like, buy it now. Buy it now. It just feels like. I don't know.
Heather
Yeah, they're.
Brittany
Jesus, these guys feel like crooks.
Heather
Yeah.
Brittany
So anywho, there. They arrive for dinner for the bitcoin extravaganza meal, which still doesn't make sense. And they're. They're. They're. They're getting upstairs for that. And then Chief Officer Ben's just chatting with Nathan. Nathan's saying it's been a hectic day. You know, it's bad when they have to bring out Chief Officer Ben to have some sort of conversation.
Heather
They're talking to the, like, invisible crew that we're never supposed to see. Nathan's like, oh, Jesus Christ, what do I do? And he's like, don't worry, Nathan. You know, when you're confident, then they become confident too, right? You just need to be more confident. He's like, it's overwhelming the fucking shit out of me. Because, you know, we kind of all know that on below deck, there's an actual crew that knows how to do things just in case. But this is bad when it's like they hired a boson who's probably not ready to be bozen, and then gave him a crew that doesn't know what they're doing. Like, we're going to be seeing. We're going to see a lot of barky, I'm saying.
Brittany
Yeah, yeah. So now there's some more cleaning. And now the main event, which is it's time to bring that Jet Ski back on the boat. So the Jet Ski is, like, hooked up to a chain, and Nathan has that little remote controller thing that sits on his, like, tummy like. Like a waitress in the 1920s nightclub selling cigarettes, you know? And so she's. He's like, doing. He's like, trying to control it. And Santa, they're acting kind of like this thing is like a wild stallion.
Sandy
And Sandy's like, okay, hey, I'm here to help. Okay, come on. Let's be. Let's go easy. Let's be focused. Okay, See that light? See that light? Watch out for that, like. Okay, Nathan, you can do it. Come on. Speak to the horsey. Come on.
Heather
All over the place.
Sandy
Okay, Concentrate, Control. Slow, slow, slow. Watch out.
Brittany
Watch.
Sandy
Okay, you hit the light. Okay, let's not hit the light again. Okay? Hit it the second. No pressure.
Brittany
Everyone's watching you.
Sandy
Okay? Okay. Well, we. Those lights cost money. Nathan, control yourself.
Heather
Control the drop, Nathan, control the drop.
Sandy
Do your food.
Heather
And Nathan's like, it's a big swing.
Nathan
It's too swelly.
Heather
And then the light double crashes and slow control. Come on, come on. Bring the WaveRunner. And then the jet. Oh my God. It's just a disaster. And Captain Sandy's like holding a string like, look at me, I'm helping. I mean, the whole thing is just not good.
Brittany
But watching that, watch that jet ski like knock over that lamp and then knock it over a second time. Oh, it's just so, so visceral. So great.

Date: September 30, 2025

They dissect the arrival of new crew members, the chaos of prepping for charter, and the unique idiocy (and comedy!) surrounding this season’s bitcoin-loving guests. Expect relentless roasting of the cast’s yachting competence, over-the-top crew personalities, and endlessly cringey “luxury” guests—especially the self-styled crypto bros.

Ben and Ronnie kept their trademark mix of affection and merciless wit, dismantling the episode’s reality TV absurdity. The combination of ill-prepared crew, overblown egos, and the most cringeworthy set of bitcoin guests yet made for one of the most entertaining Below Deck Med recaps. Even for non-Bravo regulars, their breakdown is a testament to the joys (and disasters) of reality TV chaos.
