Episode Overview
In this episode, Ben and Ronnie dive into the second half of Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10, Episode 7, which features a Bachelor-style charter dubbed “The Blah-chelor.” The hosts deliver their trademark blend of mockery, Bravo fandom, and character-driven impressions, focusing on the social antics, awkward moments, and over-the-top personalities aboard the yacht. The recap is filled with shade, keen observations, and Bravo-style humor as they roast poodle owners, dissect yachtie drama, and critique the cast’s attempts at love and luxury.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Poodle Owners and “Pet Genius” Stereotypes (02:09–07:01)
- The episode opens with an extended riff on poodle owners and the popular claim that “poodles are the smartest dogs.”
- Ben and Ronnie roast the “poodle genius” narrative, suggesting owners project intelligence onto their pets to boost their own egos.
- Notable Exchange:
- Ben: “Poodle people say this shit all the time. They’re so smart, like the smartest dogs. I literally don’t care how smart your dog is. I’m not asking your dog to write a dissertation for me.” (02:45)
- Ronnie questions if it’s the dogs or the coddling owners who are truly annoying.
- The duo compares poodle owners to parents who overpraise their kids, drawing a link between entitled dog behavior and human upbringing.
2. Dietary Restrictions and Yacht Drama (07:01–08:43)
- Ben and Ronnie poke fun at the cast’s dietary restrictions—gluten-free and lactose intolerance—suggesting that they make life difficult for the chef and wish the Bachelor would “kick off the dietary preference people first.”
- They work in character bits, mocking the “inside term” for going gluten free (“GF”).
3. Max the French Deckhand’s Impression-Heavy Monologue (08:16–09:16)
- Ronnie delivers a comic impression of Max, who is excited about the new hires and likens life on the yacht to “Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, all at the same time.”
- “He’s turning into a French Patsy Cline song.” (08:43)
4. Captain Sandy’s Surprising Admission (09:02–09:16)
- The hosts note Captain Sandy’s moment of self-awareness about putting out water toys (“Probably should have never put out the toys in the first place.”)—rare for her to admit any mistake.
5. Crew Backstories: From ‘Booby Dental Surgery’ to Drama Queen Dancers (11:00–14:02)
- Kathy, a new chief stew, shares her convoluted career journey from “surgical maxillinis” to chief stew, which Ben and Ronnie mock mercilessly:
- Impression: “That’s where we put breasts into mouths. So you’ll see sometimes people smiling, and when they open their teeth, you see a wall of breasts there.” (11:11)
- They try (unsuccessfully) to piece together her story involving sports injuries, dental surgery, and her quest for yachting stardom.
- Kizzy, another stew, sees everything as a competition due to her “former leading-lady dancer” background, which prompts more comic flashbacks and shade from the hosts.
6. Bachelorette Showdowns and Cutthroat eliminations (14:02–31:17)
- The main event features “Bachelor Joe” dating and eliminating women aboard the yacht. The hosts ridicule:
- Anna, whom they nickname the “Antichrist” for her transparent, “fabricated” stories about couture dresses and Upper East Side dating triumphs.
- “She did not live on the Upper East Side. You did not have a couture dress. You did not have a guy that told you that. Shut up.” (22:01)
- The way Joe delegates dumping duties to Amy, sparing himself awkward conversations with the women he’s eliminating.
- “You just stay here so you don’t ever have to look at their ugly faces again. Thank you. Like, what a gross pig.” (27:22)
- The “trash/rubbish” drama between chief stew Kathy and Kizzy, and Kizzy’s petty move to not warn Kathy about a ripped seam on her uniform:
- “It was so obnoxious...that’s just, like, shitty character right there. And he did it on TV, and we all saw it.” (17:03)
- Anna, whom they nickname the “Antichrist” for her transparent, “fabricated” stories about couture dresses and Upper East Side dating triumphs.
7. The Mosaic Date and Yacht Flirtations (32:02–34:22)
- Joe’s group date is a ‘mosaic class’ where he invites Alicia to contribute a piece to his project, prompting eye rolls and sarcastic commentary.
- Kizzy and Deckhand Joe flirt, both insisting they’re “just like one of the boys”—a trope Ben and Ronnie promise will absolutely backfire:
- “How many times do we see this trap? It’s always this girl who says, ‘To me, it’s just sex. I don’t even care.’ Cut to three episodes later, knocking on the door: ‘Can I come cuddle?’” (34:22)
8. Crew Gossip and Captain Sandy’s Investment (33:21–33:50)
- The hosts highlight how invested the whole crew, especially Captain Sandy, has become in the charter’s reality-tv romance—“like, they all are gossiping...can you believe they got rid of Leah, the opera singer, before Anna?”
- Captain Sandy wishes they could do this type of “Bachelor” charter every time: “Are you kidding me? This is amazing!” (33:21)
9. Reflections on Character, Agency, and Yacht Hierarchy (27:27–28:43)
- The hosts muse on the “ick” factor of Joe hiding behind Amy for elimination duties—likening it to a weird, transactional power dynamic.
- “There’s sort of this element of, like, here’s this lady that does this stuff for me, and then I don’t interface. It’s just, like, weird.” (27:35)
10. Closing Philosophy on Bad Relationships
- Asia gives Deckhand Joe blunt advice about keeping it honest if he’s “shagging the town black and blue,” and prompts classic Bravo self-reflection:
- “Maybe you need to take some time to reflect because who’s the common denominator?” (35:32–35:52)
- Bit ends with: “Janice Joplin is the common denominator. I’m glad we had this talk.” (35:41–35:52)
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
- Ben (on poodle geniuses):
“I’m not asking your dog to write a dissertation for me. Just get it off my lap.” (02:45) - Ronnie (on backstory confusion):
“I was a surgeon for teeth and broken teeth and booby teeth. And then I heard myself playing sports at the highest level possible...and now I almost died, but I moved my toe, and now I’m here with my golden squeegee in hand.” (13:10) - On Anna’s OTT fantasy dates:
“She did not live on the Upper East Side. You did not have a couture dress. You did not have a guy that told you that. Shut up.” (22:01) - On Joe’s elimination style:
“You just stay here so you don’t ever have to look at their ugly faces again. Thank you. Like, what a gross pig.” (27:22) - On Kizzy’s pettiness:
“It just was—to me—it was so obnoxious...You are a mean person. I don’t care if she’s not as villainous as others. That’s just, like, shitty character right there.” (17:03) - On the “not like other girls” cliché:
“How many times do we see this trap? It’s always this girl who says, ‘To me, it’s just sex. I don’t even care.’ ...Cut to three episodes later: ‘Can I come cuddle?’” (34:49) - Asia (channeling Bravo wisdom):
“Listen, I’ve got no problem with you shagging the town black and blue...as long as everyone you do that with is aware of what you’re doing.” (35:08)
