Expect classic Crappens banter, snark, and vocal impressions as the hosts revel in the absurdities of Bravo’s yachting hit.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. The Love Triangle Gears Up
Time: 02:52–04:21
- Joe meets V and Kizzy, both of whom show instant interest. V calls Joe “handsome” and Kizzy “stunning.”
- Joe reminisces about getting into love triangles in past seasons and promises (unconvincingly) to "try and behave."
- Ronnie (as narrator): “Nope, he will not try and behave. He is going to get into another love triangle because that's how people like Joe operate.” (03:42)
- Kizzy seems smitten (“Kizzy’s in love”), all while Joe plays the “I’m such trouble” card.
2. Storm Drama and Docked Charter
Time: 04:21–05:51, 13:43–14:48
- Captain Sandy anxiously monitors a major storm and opts to keep the yacht at the dock, to the (mock) horror of the crew.
- Ben (as Sandy): “If we go off the dock, everybody will be scared for their lives and seasick and we'll probably all die. So we're just going to play it safe and stay on the dock.” (04:21)
- Ronnie jokes about “having to enjoy a day in Barcelona, a city that not many people know about worldwide and barely even want to visit.”
- Sandy tries to break the news gently to guests, making awkward use of an Ibiza storm video (and accidentally, a video featuring Norma).
- Ben (joking): “Oh, that's Norma. Sorry, wrong video.” (14:18)
3. The Guest Preference Sheet From Hell
Time: 05:16–07:47, 16:47–18:27
- The crew review the notoriously difficult preference sheet for the new charter—led by Ladonna (“like Madonna—God, I love her music”), with “too many opinions and no bread allowed.”
- Two guests, Candace and Carlos, are vegan and "demand creativity from the chef."
- Ben: “First rule of vegans: don't look them in the eye. Keep at least five feet away, and if they look at you, just throw yourself up against the wall.” (05:51)
- The actual sheet is absurdly detailed and contradictory, asking for “creativity,” “no bread,” seafood, and every possible superfood—then the guests proceed to complain about everything served (salads, fresh seafood, etc.).
- Ronnie (reading sheet): “They want fried chickpeas, nuts, sweet potato chips, creative vegetable chips, yogurt dips, lobster, crab, fresh caught fish, fresh tuna, lamb, less starch... so they're given all this healthy food and immediately start bitching.” (18:27)
4. Chaos in the Galley: Vegan Slumped
Time: 08:36–09:44, 15:59–20:42, 22:12–24:41, 32:20–36:43
- Chef Josh is instantly overwhelmed by impossible requests and contradictions.
- The vegan guest, Carlos (Los), complains non-stop, first about receiving a salad, then about “lettuce in a tortilla,” then about lack of “minerals” and “greens, but not salads.”
- Ronnie: “He’s not only going to be a vegan, he’s going to be an extremely picky, even vegan... You can’t just serve me vegetables. What the fuck does that even mean?” (20:42)
- Josh, sensing a breakdown, reflects on the time he lived in a “vegan clown commune”—for better or worse, nothing prepared him for this.
- At dinner, despite delivering a huge and creative spread (vegan and non-vegan mashed potatoes, vegan pasta, tomato beet salad with pomegranate, etc.), Carlos still complains: “Look, my plate is all full of starch. You know, there’s nothing healthy for me. Like, I like greens, you know, like stuff with minerals, and this is filling, but my body’s not getting what it needs.” (33:54)
- Josh, spiraling: “I'm only one person. I made so much food for one person. And they're expecting way too much... fuck all of you. Fuck all of you.” (36:53)
- The hosts theorize that production orchestrated this vegan charter to ensure a meltdown.
5. Guests & Crew Slack Off, Seeds of Drama
Time: 10:28–13:43
- Joe and Nathan are “running around on deck... bonking heads and giggling,” while Max is left to haul all the luggage—planting seeds of resentment.
- A keyboard/Casio piano mysteriously appears in the crew mess, prompting Ben’s story about show-off reality contestants and failed attempts at serenading women.
6. Crew Excursion in the Gothic Quarter
Time: 27:58–30:31
- Joe and Vee lead the guests through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter.
- Joe alternates between his Liverpool accent and fluent Spanish, impressing everyone—except cranky Carlos, who grumbles: “Do you guys have anything newer here? Really not into stonework.” (29:51)
- Joe and Vee are so distracted by their flirting—with whole conversations in Spanish—that they barely pay attention to the guests.
7. Excursion Aftermath & Carlos’ Vegan Rage Peaks
Time: 32:44–36:43
- Back on the boat, dinner is a hit—except for Carlos. He fixates on “minerals,” wants “greens but not salads,” and finally precipitates Chef Josh's walkout.
- Ronnie and Ben riff on the impossibility of being such a demanding vegan, and how production must secretly love watching Josh break down.
- Ronnie: “He needs to feel important and he doesn't.” (38:39)
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- Ben (on vegan guest demands):
"First rule of vegans: Don't look them in the eye. Keep at least five feet away, and if they look at you, just throw yourself up against the wall." (05:51) - Ronnie (on Josh’s mental state):
"No one who's like, 'Oh, I'm a hippie, I'm into meditation, and I'm also a clown.' That's not going to crack. We know his ass is going to crack... They probably moved this charter up so we can have a better season nervous breakdown." (24:20) - Ben (on moving through Barcelona):
"Carlos is somehow, like, is disgusted that he gets to walk around this, like, world city that people dream of being able to visit someday, me included. And he's like, 'Stupid old architecture. I hate this.'" (29:51) - Ronnie (mocking Carlos): "As vegans, you have to put a lot more thought into the architecture that we have to look at." (29:56)
- Josh (actually in-show): "I'm only one person. I made so much food for one person. And they're expecting way too much, you know? And he's like, fuck all of you. Fuck all of you." (36:53)
- Ben (on Carlos): "He's not only going to be a vegan, he's going to be an extremely picky, even vegan... You can't just serve me vegetables. What the fuck does that even mean?" (20:42)
- Ronnie (on the self-proclaimed peaceful types): "Of course, it's always the people who present, like, they are at inner peace, all about peace and happiness, who are the most obnoxious and angry people of all." (26:15)
