This podcast was produced on the land of the Wurundry people of the Colon Nation.

Australian Survivor is Over!

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Australian Survivor. You were watching.

SPEAKER_06 0:44

Was I watching? I was watching. I was watching with all my eyes.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Thoughts on our new bisexual uh dynasty of flowers. Racial by tribal. Of the miles of it all.

SPEAKER_06 0:58

I was so disappointed at the beginning when they started voting out all the women in the because it was such a like the final eight was like it was like 5-3.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

It was the hottest jury of all time.

SPEAKER_06 1:09

The jury clock. The slut-dropping jury. I was there for that. But the final three in the end, as much as I could not stand AJ. Like I appreciated him.

SPEAKER_02 1:18

He was great. He was an essential worker for the show. Yeah. And we thank him for his service.

SPEAKER_04 1:24

But also it was real cute. And Caleb doesn't show emotion sobbing the whole way.

SPEAKER_02 1:31

Oh, can we just have a minute silence for Caleb? Like, oh, what a just a gorgeous little baby. When his mum was there in that final challenge, and he was like, okay, um, I'm just not gonna speak now. And he regressed back to a little boy.

SPEAKER_06 1:49

He went into his like iron shell. Yes. And he was, I don't know, he's like Zen dissociative state. Isn't his PhD like flying drones over Antarctica? So he was he was in a drone over Antarctica Antarctica.

SPEAKER_04 2:05

He was that's where he's that's where he was.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

What a fucking gorgeous human. Like I would want I want to meet him. I actually really want to meet. But uh you can't because he's in Norway rafting or some shit.

SPEAKER_06 2:19

Can we? Can we email ABC and get him on ABC

Alone Australia Season 3

SPEAKER_06 2:23

SP S next season of Alone?

SPEAKER_02 2:25

Alone. He would be so good. Are you watching that currently?

SPEAKER_04 2:28

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

Can we talk about that for a second?

SPEAKER_04 2:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:32

I'm obsessed with this season. It's so good. Like it's so good. The gorgeous death lady. Oh my god, Frida, what are you I have a dog on my face. In your face.

SPEAKER_04 2:45

Kaylee.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

Kaylee. What a quin.

SPEAKER_04 2:48

I loved her.

SPEAKER_02 2:49

And incoming spoilers, but great bum. Oh, incredible. Actually, really hot cast. Yeah. But the hoddies are being taken out.

SPEAKER_06 2:58

Well, the hottie's asking the trees if they should they're allowed to camp there.

SPEAKER_02 3:04

But that guy, the beautiful social worker guy that got like obviously anyone with like a young child in there. It's like good luck to you. You're gonna miss that child and and tap out like straight away. As as a mother, I couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_01 3:19

As a mother of four.

SPEAKER_06 3:21

As a mother of four, sometimes as a mother of some mother of two human children. Sometimes I want to scream into the void.

SPEAKER_00 3:29

Who am I?

SPEAKER_06 3:30

And you and Frida and the rest of them. But I couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

No, I could I would get there for one minute and be like, do you know what? This is this is gorgeous. We love Tasmania, but also nah.

SPEAKER_06 3:44

Yeah, what do you mean killer fish? Sushi. Give me my sushi. Yeah. I don't want to kill the fish. No. But also the patty melons, I couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

So there's some conditions that are like so hell-bent on the trapping. I'm like, girl, catch an eel. Like, come on. Like come as if you're gonna trap something. And then the only thing that made its way into a trap was like a cute little Tassie devil. Oh, there's the patty. But that's on a cliffhanger in the last episode. Yeah. But like still, I just think that's a lot of effort for not much payoff.

SPEAKER_06 4:16

I think some of these people are going through this because that that's their business.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

100%.

SPEAKER_06 4:20

They're they've got corporate professional to do after this. They're gonna try and like they're not Gina. This is all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 4:27

No one can ever be Gina.

SPEAKER_06 4:28

Did you watch the first season of American Alone?

SPEAKER_02 4:32

Yeah, some time ago. Remember, I think did we watch it during lockdown? Oh yeah, possibly. It was one of those shows. It was a great lockdown show. It was, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_06 4:40

But Alan, he was like, he was the he was the guy, no spoilers, but he's the guy that won it.

SPEAKER_02 4:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:45

And he made himself a little, he would write little songs for himself. See, he he won the mental game.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

It isn't really a mental game. Or you can get a mean UTI and take it out that way. I was so mad for her. I know. I was like, she could have won. Because I think being deaf would make you so comfortable being by yourself, right? Just in that sense of like sensory deprivation. I feel like she'd be able to really like I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 5:13

Do you remember when there was one episode where she turned off her she took a cockle cross?

SPEAKER_02 5:18

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_06 5:19

And then they cut the sound and you're just like great editing. Yep. Oh, we're gonna talk more about great editing, by the way, when we get to the meat and we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

Yes, we are. And meat there is. Sorry, I just gave you your own segue. No, I

Katya is on The Spectrum

SPEAKER_02 5:34

also wanted to show have you been watching Trixie and Kartcha's like to watch clips on YouTube. There's a really good one that I'm giving you as homework, which is them watching Love on the Spectrum. It is so good. I don't know how fresh it is, but it looks newish. The American one, which I look, but do you know the American Love on the Spectrum? It's still the same like documentary maker as the Australian season. Because you hear his voice in it. Because you know how he's really he's like interviewing them and they leave his voice in. It's the same voice. So I'm like, oh good, at least he's making it.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

I wouldn't trust it in the hands of an all-American production team.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

It's still American casting though, and like, I don't know, in the Australian mind, I feel like they're all like really queer and stuff. Oh, but in the American mind, it's pretty like I don't know. Wow, let's not talk about American politics. Yeah, let's not.

SPEAKER_05 6:26

That's that's the vibe there.

SPEAKER_02 6:30

But just watching Katya in real time see people on the spectrum, and then oh, maybe like she literally, she's like, she's like, I think I could be a little bit, and Trixie's like, girl, girl. But it's watching that moment is a delight. I love that. And then she's also like obsessed with one of the contestants, this guy called Connor, who is gorgeous. But Kach is just every time he's on screen, she's like, Connor, come here. She's like, she's like, stop dating these women. It's me you're looking for like I'm a woman.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

So good.

Eurovision 2025

SPEAKER_02 7:11

Um also Eurovision season is upon us, um, but you haven't dipped your toe in just yet.

SPEAKER_06 7:17

Not into the acts so much. I did cock one eyebrow at the announcement of the hosts.

SPEAKER_02 7:24

So who's the hosting? I've missed this.

SPEAKER_06 7:26

So, I mean, I didn't read the article, but I'm pretty sure that this is what we're dealing with. Courtney Act.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

Oh, you mean the SBS host? Yeah. Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's um Tony Armstrong and Courtney Act. Yeah, I did see that.

SPEAKER_06 7:37

Courtney Armstrong, who I don't think has watched Eurovision. I think they're going for the the fresh take on this one.

SPEAKER_02 7:42

I mean, he's probably he's coming in on the same par as Joel Crasey, let's be honest. He had not seen much beforehand.

SPEAKER_06 7:49

He's a little bit more in community.

SPEAKER_02 7:51

True. I think Courtney is a fan. Obviously she's she knows the party. Yeah, she went for for what was it, Australia decides, that one yeah, with that terrible song. Sorry, darling. Uh but yeah, no, I think Tone is a good choice.

SPEAKER_06 8:08

Yeah, I I like it. You're right, but it's opening it up to a new audience. I see what they're doing.

SPEAKER_02 8:12

I see what they're doing. They're gonna piss, yeah, he's gonna piss off the fans because you just know he's gonna be like asking lots of annoying questions, and Courtney's gonna be like, oh. Don't read the comments. Yeah. But no, it's un I like the fresh energy. You have to bring him in. I got a little bit excited that we might see Julia Zemiro back.

unknown 8:31

What?

SPEAKER_02 8:32

Well, just when they said there was gonna be new hosts, I got a bit excited, but then unfortunately, not meant to be.

SPEAKER_06 8:39

Yeah, I didn't mean to troll you with the uh host announcement.

SPEAKER_02 8:41

I thought no, I thought you meant like the hosts of the the show show in Switzerland. It'll probably just be like what some Swiss fucking influencer on his pet count. Roger Federo hosting would be such a bad choice. Like zero charisma. No, it'll be some like supermodel that's like hello Europe.

SPEAKER_06 9:06

Who's Swiss?

SPEAKER_02 9:07

I actually don't know. Do you reckon we're gonna get a Celine cameo? Oh Celine Neil. A Celine hologram, maybe like ABBA style. In a in a bubble skirt, yeah, or in that like iconic tutu with like a blazer.

SPEAKER_06 9:27

Celine's got the right attitude for it.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

Yeah, I don't know. Cause did you watch that Celine Docko? No, that was a lot, but good. Mate, because I didn't I don't really know anything about her, and watching that I was like, oh yeah, you're exactly what I thought you are. You're very serious, but also like you're the real deal.

SPEAKER_06 9:46

She's actually got a sense of humour though. She does. Yeah, but I think she's not well.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

She's unwell, yes.

SPEAKER_06 9:52

So we might get a video cross.

SPEAKER_02 9:54

Yeah, true. Or we might get, yeah. I don't know, just work on her backing track.

SPEAKER_06 9:59

We'll get Conchita doing Celine.

SPEAKER_02 10:01

That totally. And I fully support that. Have you so some controversial contestants I want to touch on? Go on. Touch Malta. Touch away. You've you're in the the serving cant of it all.

SPEAKER_06 10:15

Malta, hang on.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

Malta, her song was called Kant. K-A-N-T. And then they had to change it to serving.

SPEAKER_06 10:21

Because yeah, when you said that, I'm like, why do I know this?

SPEAKER_02 10:26

Because you've said this to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That then Estonia, Tommy Cash, their song is called Espresso Macchiato, and it has caused political tension. The Italians are not okay about it. And I've got to say, you guys need to chill. It's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_06 10:42

You need to chill your macchiatos.

SPEAKER_02 10:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need to ice those macchiatos. But that's that's slowly becoming my fave.

SPEAKER_06 10:50

I need to go back and have a look at a little in depth.

SPEAKER_02 10:53

I reckon that those two are my faves. And then I also love Germany this year, which what I never say. But this year they've got this little like she looks like she's just rolled out of a tent at Golden Plains and hopped on stage. Don't tell me that cracked the code. Yeah, they've finally gone, oh, like, what do people want from Germany? Like some Raven girl. Yeah, and she's just like it's it's a hot little dance bop. Do you know what?

SPEAKER_06 11:23

I've really enjoyed like the new I don't know what genre edit is, but the the the Eurovision brand of new techno that's coming out, all of those really strong cultural things.

SPEAKER_03 11:37

It's back.

SPEAKER_06 11:38

It used to be like just the Eastern Bloc and the Mediterranean that were given out weird club bangers, but now it's becoming the actual contenders.

SPEAKER_02 11:48

True.

SPEAKER_06 11:49

And I love it. I can hear it here.

SPEAKER_02 11:51

Nemo's song last year had a clubby beat, it had like a drum and bass beat and kind of like some kooky production moments, which like normally that stuff doesn't do that well. But now and of course, when something wins the next year we get a hundred copycats of it.

SPEAKER_06 12:10

Yeah, but that's why it always flip-flops. It'll be ballad one year and then banger the next year. I'm worried that Frieda's giving ASMR on my mics.

SPEAKER_02 12:19

She's just very excited to have you here.

SPEAKER_06 12:22

ASMR?

SPEAKER_02 12:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:23

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

ASMR leather. Did you did you fuck with Drag Race this season? I did not. Oh shit. I'm jealous. It was bad.

SPEAKER_06 12:32

I'm just I'm just, I don't have the tone.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

Yeah, but neither. I had it on a side. Or the inclination. It's it's gone. She's she's gone.

SPEAKER_06 12:42

I'll I'll I'll go for the um down under.

SPEAKER_02 12:45

Oh obviously, well if if and when down under when.

SPEAKER_06 12:48

But the other ones I I just I I lost the capacity to differentiate between all the fashion queens.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Yeah. And it is has just become a fashion queen show. Yeah. And a platform for Roo to sell something? But I'm not that sure.

SPEAKER_06 13:07

AI bots?

SPEAKER_02 13:08

That's what we're gonna say. I think that's what it is.

SPEAKER_06 13:11

The Drag Raised GPT training of the bots GTP.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

This last season was a bit drag raised GPT. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 13:20

Yeah, no, it's it's lost me. It's for the kids now.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

Yeah, totally. I feel so old watching it. I feel hurled. And there was one contestant this year, Lexi Love, who was 33 or something during filming. And they called her grandma.

SPEAKER_06 13:36

And I was like, uh, Papu.

SPEAKER_02 13:39

Do not do not with that. You fucking children. No.

Below Deck Down Under Season 3 Part 3 Recap

SPEAKER_02 13:45

But should we get into the reason for the season? Which you fuck, you got the best bundle of episodes. Yeah. This show. So below deck down under first two seasons were phenomenal. Because they were actually in Australia as well.

SPEAKER_06 14:02

That was uh ask me what happened on them though. I've got to be able to do that. Oh true.

SPEAKER_02 14:06

Well, there was the like there was the rapey guy. Oh yeah. Um, what else? I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 14:11

Aisha was there going, oh Aisha letting the guests drink before they went scuba diving and then we love that. And she's like, oh, did I?

SPEAKER_02 14:21

RSA rules don't apply on maritime law.

SPEAKER_06 14:25

That's my best.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

Yeah, true. I actually but as soon as the season finishes, actually, even before it finishes, all of their names are gone too.

SPEAKER_06 14:32

I also just remember there's like a you know procession of chefs and they never stick around.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

The chefs are usually the best. How do you feel about Terena?

SPEAKER_06 14:40

She is a bag of nuts.

SPEAKER_02 14:44

She was made to be on television.

SPEAKER_06 14:46

No, but also I'm like, I'm watching all of her trauma come to the surface. Like, you know.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Uh the unpopular girl is inside her is strong and is calling out for like screaming out for attention and love and care.

SPEAKER_06 15:07

And just stop going after the South African bosun's.

SPEAKER_02 15:11

I mean, I have a lot to say about the bosun. Yes. I do love that because she clearly clocked that he's just a man whore that was gonna go for whatever, and she was kind of like, I'm cool with that. Like, I think she knew what she was doing.

SPEAKER_06 15:27

She knew what she was doing, but also she knew she was gonna hurt her own feelings and she continued to do it.

SPEAKER_02 15:34

Self-destructive behaviour.

SPEAKER_06 15:35

Yeah. Big time. Especially when you're around a cast that is designed to third.

SPEAKER_02 15:40

Yeah. Um my god, speaking of.

SPEAKER_06 15:42

Am I allowed to swear yes?

SPEAKER_02 15:43

Yeah, please. It's encouraged. Did you see the trailer that just dropped, I think today, for the next Below Dead Proper?

SPEAKER_00 15:53

No.

SPEAKER_02 15:54

It looks mental. So Captain Kerry is back. They're in St. Martin, and there's there's shots of like pretty much everyone on the cast hooking up with each other, like girls and girls, guys and guys. They brought back that like Scottish guy with the big dick that's really like that's his that was his whole personality.

unknown 16:16

Oh god.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

And he would pash anyone, and like him and Fraser are pashing, and then like the girlies are all pashing. I love it. It's like queer baby as fuck, this trailer, but also I'm so ready for this next season.

SPEAKER_06 16:28

We're launching a thousand OnlyFans careers.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Oh, I fucking hope so.

SPEAKER_06 16:32

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

It is slowly becoming math. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but on a boat.

SPEAKER_06 16:37

Maths.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

And they actually do work. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 16:40

And no one's Well, they could all get married.

SPEAKER_02 16:43

That'll be the next one.

SPEAKER_06 16:44

The captain could just marry them all. Marry them all, uh. At first sight.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Anyway, I'm jumping way ahead. Married at first stup. Married at first stup on a boat. So it's Arena, yes, we we we love. I love that that they had her with um the other Sioux chef, whatever his name was. And everyone Yeah, yeah, Anthony. And everyone was kind of like, mm-hmm, who like you were trying to figure out who's who's right here, and turned out kind of neither of them, but now already she's back to her old antics and she's like trolling Alicia.

SPEAKER_06 17:18

I was so disappointed because I thought, mmm, here she is, we're gonna get to see like the good Zarina who can actually be a chef, like a good chef manager department, delegate responsibilities, uh tasks properly.

SPEAKER_02 17:35

She loves Sakari.

SPEAKER_06 17:38

And she's just just letting her emotions rule. I know disappointing.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

And unfortunately it's yeah, she's distracted by the city. I think she's got some she's got some like private girl school trauma or something. Because like when Lara and which we need to talk about Lara and those eyebrows, but what is she? No. I think Lara was a a flop casting choice.

SPEAKER_06 18:04

I think you said it last time that she's she's too proficient at her job. Yeah, she's like actually too professional.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

I don't want that. I want a Kate Chastain, I want uh Hannah Ferrier, I don't know what I'm saying. I want an Acia Scott, I want someone that is like good but also has personality, yeah, and is willing to speak up. I don't know. I think there's too much passive aggression from Lara, I don't like it.

SPEAKER_06 18:28

I don't know. In this last episode, she started to like prod Serena a bit.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Yeah, it's finally kicking off between the episode. It's been brewing. It was so flagged at the beginning. Yeah, they told us on Ep One, like these two are gonna fucking go for it at some point.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

I like they'd had a little conversation that said that about let's they're gearing us up to attack each other, but let's not do it. But now they're going to.

SPEAKER_02 18:53

Yeah. I hope I can't wait. Yeah, it's like the cliffhanger we've been looking at.

SPEAKER_06 18:58

I want to see Zarina throw white plates across the room.

SPEAKER_05 19:04

They don't match the plates! Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

How are you feeling about Captain Jason? I feel like he's finally woken up, but the first half of the season he was on autopilot.

SPEAKER_06 19:17

He picks and chooses. He's a little bit moody in that respect.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:21

I he's I think he's I think he takes himself seriously unless he's in a really silly mood. And then he'll be like, okay, we can be silly now. Yeah. But I think he's there's still part of him that's like, I'm a serious captain. It's like, no, but once you're on below deck, you're not once you've done ads in your bathers.

SPEAKER_02 19:42

Your kimono range. The kimono ranges, everything.

SPEAKER_06 19:46

Yeah, you you you're a you're a reality TV captain.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

True. Yeah, I think he's still navigating that balance. And you're right, it's like he wants to be everyone's friend and like the cool, the cool dad, but it's like uh, but then when like Marina sort of does some back talk, he's like not into into it. So it's kind of like you're right, that did feel a little bit pick and juicy.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

Mind you, she was pretty like out of line, but I love it.

SPEAKER_02 20:12

I think me too, she's really fun. At the start of the season, she wasn't giving me much, but now I'm like, oh, she's great.

SPEAKER_06 20:19

I get her now. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't I wasn't seeing the hook. Now it's there.

SPEAKER_02 20:23

Now it's there. Also, we're getting the tried and tested storyline of I don't want to do laundry anymore. Which I'm like, girl, have you not seen this show? Don't ever say that you love doing laundry because you will be doing it for the whole season.

SPEAKER_06 20:37

Whereas, you know what, if I was on a boat, I'd be like laundry. Give me the laundry.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

I would be like, give me the laundry. I don't want to talk to talk to these fuckers.

SPEAKER_06 20:43

I want to I love doing laundry at home.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

Yeah. It would be fun, but I think varieties, okay. You don't want to be doing spicy life. You don't want to do the same shit the whole time on the boat.

SPEAKER_06 20:57

No, it's like data entry.

SPEAKER_02 20:58

I I wouldn't last a minute on those boats. Like they get the tips and everything, and you're like, yeah, cool, that's a lot of money, but then you think about the fact that they worked for like pretty much for 24 hours straight.

SPEAKER_06 21:09

And then they have to sleep in tiny little rooms with each other.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

Mm-hmm. Actually, this boat is pretty palatial.

SPEAKER_06 21:17

Yeah, but not for the crew quarters.

SPEAKER_02 21:20

Although I think the crew quarters are like I'm I think it's because we've come straight from sailing yacht, where they are literally like sleeping with like a millimeter between them or whatever. So it feels a bit more spacious. The fact they've got like three in a room, I don't think we had that on sailing.

SPEAKER_06 21:37

Where what was the one? No, we because remember when um uh on sailing yacht when Gary and Colin and hot chef Marcos, they were all in a room together.

SPEAKER_02 21:48

Oh, they were too, and that was like a little triangle. That was heaven, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

That chef was so hot, even so nice, so good.

SPEAKER_06 21:58

Yeah, and he never came back because Was not having a bar of it. He was like, What is this? Cursed show. Yeah. I'm out of here. I'm starting my business.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

I had never watched it before, you could tell. Brie has faded into the BG a bit. I think now that her and Harry are like, they've like set that storyline up for us, and it's it's well and truly in the BG now, I think.

SPEAKER_06 22:19

Yeah, and they have also had an off-camera discussion with each other saying, we know that they mic us up if we're gonna go into a cabin, so let's not do that. Because you know when someone disappears into a cabin and the door closes, but you still get the sounds?

SPEAKER_02 22:35

And it's like, oh there was one girl one year that was like really turning it on, remember?

SPEAKER_06 22:40

And they would play it all and she'd be like, oh, yeah, saying her name say shit.

SPEAKER_02 22:44

And she yeah, she was like, slap, slap my ass and stuff. I was like, Whoa.

SPEAKER_06 22:47

Yeah, see, I reckon Harry and Bree are like, We know, let's not do that.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

You think so? Or is Harry like is Harry a virgin?

SPEAKER_06 22:55

Nah, he's a he's a Sydney private school boy, isn't he?

SPEAKER_02 22:59

Yeah, he gives that lanky energy. Yeah. I like Harry, but I just yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:07

He gives off yeah, he gives off those vibes, but he's definitely not, but I d I don't know. I can't explain it.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 23:16

But no.

SPEAKER_02 23:17

I can't tell where I sit with Harry. Do I find their whole relationship a bit snooze, I'm not gonna lie. Oh, it is. And I also still think it's a bit rich for her being like annoyed that he's not like you know, throwing her against a wall and stooping her. I'm a bit like, come on.

SPEAKER_06 23:34

She is like because he's not that guy. No, and she's also got this like hot girl experience where that's what her life is. Great, good on your own. It's a little bit picky. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Like she's wanting a little bit of the yeah, but that's not with Harry. No, if yeah, if you want that, you need a V Han or a I don't know, a Nate, perhaps.

SPEAKER_06 23:58

Oh, which one was Nate?

SPEAKER_02 23:59

Nate's the new Nate's all chin. He's one of our newbies.

SPEAKER_06 24:02

He's the bosun. Yeah, chin. Chinny.

SPEAKER_02 24:04

He is chin. Chinny chin chin.

SPEAKER_06 24:07

And he's got a little anchor earring.

SPEAKER_02 24:10

Oh, he, oh my god, so red flag central when he walked in and his first thing was like, Oh, I've been raised with strong women. I'm always surrounded by strong women.

SPEAKER_06 24:19

I'm like cut to him being Masago they put that in because Vihan was in the end, obviously they were edited it out for the first bit. He was saying terrible things about women.

SPEAKER_02 24:31

Yeah, even at the start he was like, Oh, I'm I'm chill, I used to strip at a gay club, so therefore I'm a cool guy. It's like no no no no no no.

SPEAKER_06 24:40

No, but the stuff he was outright saying about women before he had that blow-up with Harry.

SPEAKER_02 24:45

Oh, yeah. Like disposable vibes. That's it. He also just assumed that everyone at all times wanted to fuck him, which I'm like, which I hate that like ended up being a little bit true with Serena kind of feeding into it.

SPEAKER_06 24:58

Adair never did, thank God. Thank God.

SPEAKER_02 25:01

The way that he like wrote her the letter and then her face I've never seen such a blank facial expression in my life. Paper plate, paper plate. She does it again in this group of episodes, I think. There's a bit where like, yeah, he he's still after her and stuff, and oh no, it's when after he gets kicked off, and she's just like love and light, and she does not care.

SPEAKER_06 25:27

No, she wanted a reason to get rid of it anyway. Because remember when the girls said, Oh, this is what uh I can't remember what he did. Maybe it was whatever he did to Zarina or was what he was saying, and she's like, Oh no, I really don't like that. Yeah, it's like you don't actually don't care, you just want an experience.

SPEAKER_02 25:42

At no point was she interested, but she kind of she was like entertaining it, I think, because she must have.

SPEAKER_06 25:47

She wanted like airtime.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

I think that, and like not doesn't like confrontation, maybe. I don't know. But she went along with it, but the paper plate of it all, like she was she was just like but you don't want to piss off your boss. That's the But she wasn't ha she didn't reveal that she was happy that he left or sad. It was literally just like but which I think that is that is even more hurtful, which is why I love it.

SPEAKER_06 26:11

And did he did he message her or something?

SPEAKER_02 26:14

Did we get the little Oh did we got some Johnny blub blub blubs? But I think we're getting those because she's Alicia's gonna stup night. Let's be honest. I look, I was here for the Alicia, Alicia, Alicia, Alicia Alicia, I like it's I think it is a Alicia anyway.

SPEAKER_06 26:33

I'm here I was here for that love story.

SPEAKER_02 26:35

Already forgotten her name. She's actually she's fun. I like her.

SPEAKER_06 26:39

But she's been like since Johnny's gone, she's been putting on that lip stick.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

Oh, she's dressed like a pin-up girl. I was like, redheads calm, red lips, little strawberry chalk. Yeah! I'm like, calm down.

SPEAKER_06 26:54

Calm down, you know.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

His tats are the worst. He's got a little kangaroo, which so does Jojo Siwa. Um he's got a little, yeah. What I keep seeing them and I'm like, oh no.

SPEAKER_06 27:06

Oh, he's got a salmon because his surname is Salmon. Where's the Ozzy sword?

SPEAKER_02 27:12

Nate Salmon. Can you imagine? Like Oz. No. This is actually Nate Salmon's bucks party.

SPEAKER_06 27:22

Do you know what? It sounds like the name of the footy captain from a um shitty young adult fiction novel that was written in the 90s.

unknown 27:36

Yes!

SPEAKER_02 27:37

Like tomorrow weather war began three uh Nate Salmon. I was gonna say quarterback because I don't know what the AFL positions are called. That's thank you. The full forward Nate Salmon was getting changed in the fucking change.

SPEAKER_06 27:54

In the back of his youth.

SPEAKER_02 27:55

And then boom, the world ended. Yeah, I'm I'm lucky, Nate. What about Nicholas? I've been waiting here to ask him about this. Precious angel.

SPEAKER_06 28:05

This is a guy who just got hot overnight. Uh didn't even realise it.

SPEAKER_02 28:10

And does Professor do with it? He's giving like K-pop idol, pretty like the hair and the kind of like uh meek expressions.

SPEAKER_06 28:21

But the that that bone structure. Stunning. Did you see the pictures of his dad? Yeah. Who looked like he was in the cast of the most recent White Lotus?

SPEAKER_02 28:30

He look yes! He looks like uh Walton Goggins uh adjacent. Also, I can see him, and I can see Bravo putting him on this show at some point as well. Totally. Like Captain Jason will get like a an infection, and then we'll have to get in dad like Nicholas's dad.

SPEAKER_05 28:47

They're not gonna pull Captain Lee out of cryo.

SPEAKER_02 28:50

Oh my god, Captain Lee R I P They had to pry him off that boat.

SPEAKER_03 28:56

Like a barnacle. Yeah, he was he was over my dead money!

SPEAKER_04 29:04

That's right. I'll eat your ass. Doesn't mean what it thinks. What do you think it does?

SPEAKER_02 29:09

Oh good. Um who's left? Johnny.

SPEAKER_06 29:14

Oh.

SPEAKER_02 29:14

Goral. I mean, as soon as I hate how attracted I was to Johnny. I mean, I didn't Greek men. Come on, they're all hot.

SPEAKER_04 29:23

But that thing, when he punched the wall and then saw the camera, bit his knuckle out of the side of looked at it out of the side of his eye and then covered it.

SPEAKER_02 29:33

Covered the camera.

SPEAKER_04 29:34

That is a meme, the knuckle bite.

SPEAKER_02 29:37

It's yeah. It was what did I just do?

SPEAKER_06 29:40

But also, thank God, it was on camera? No, because it was at the big it about something that Vihan was saying and it wasn't like like with a woman in the room. True, true. Because I'm I'm not a violent person.

SPEAKER_02 29:56

Neither. But I love that um so because we saw in the trailer, yes, Britain, in the trailer we knew this was gonna happen. So I so the whole mystery was why. And in my mind it had to be about like I thought there was gonna be I don't know, yeah, something to do with a girl. Yeah, of course. And then maybe even I thought it could be something to do with like, yeah, a promotion or like someone getting in trouble for something they didn't do from the captain. Well, that's reducerfuckery.

SPEAKER_06 30:26

That's what they were sort of angling for as well, because they were that whole like Vyanne's pissing everybody off thing was there, but I don't know. Johnny was he was he was he playing neutral man or was he be a being a bit of a bootlick?

SPEAKER_02 30:40

Like in that episode, he was passing on info that had been gossiped about.

SPEAKER_06 30:47

Then he was kind of in Vianne's like, yeah, but he was sucking up to that's the weird thing.

SPEAKER_02 30:51

It's like him and Vianne were very tight. He was apologize. He was a Vyan apologist, and he was very on Veyne's side with the Harry stuff. He was kind of like, shut up, Harry, stop being a like a little sort. I think almost.

SPEAKER_06 31:02

Yeah, I think there was like and that's like the the hierarchical thing, yeah, was it? Or was it like Harry, you're a bit too young, come on, let the Maybe.

SPEAKER_02 31:12

I think I don't know exactly how to do it. Harry's kind of sensitive, which I love, but I think Johnny obviously Well Johnny is equally emotional, wall punching.

SPEAKER_06 31:19

He just doesn't have to be a good one.

SPEAKER_02 31:20

Well, that's the thing, it just comes out in different ways. And for Harry, it's having a little cry with the girlies, which I can relate to. But then can't we all you know what I mean? But then like punching a hole in the wall, which like you know, those MAFS producers were like, damn, how did they get theirs on camera? We didn't get ours on camera, and also no, like, I hope you'd take a notes fucking nine, because they correctly booted him.

SPEAKER_06 31:44

That is the thing about Captain Jason, he is not afraid to wield an axe. Um, although I I feel like the thing that that Jason wanted to say that maybe they cut it off, or maybe he was told not to say, is like, I would have you back. Because I feel like he wanted to say that.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Yeah, true. I actually I mean we'll get to it later, but they both took it really well. Normally, when you get kicked off, there's a little bit of attack, especially when it's like a man, they're like, but I'm perfect, I just made one mistake. These two, I think they were like, Yep, we get it.

SPEAKER_06 32:19

Well, Johnny kind of walked himself out.

SPEAKER_02 32:20

Yeah, and that was gonna happen. And like Vyan. Vyan basically got kicked out for just being a shit guy.

SPEAKER_06 32:26

He was not good at he didn't even do his shit.

SPEAKER_02 32:28

Stop at his job, and he was like causing issues by being a shit guy.

SPEAKER_06 32:33

Yeah.

unknown 32:34

No.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

And for being not cute.

SPEAKER_06 32:36

Not cute and not um and not as hot as you are on record.

SPEAKER_02 32:42

I will I will adjust that that little rig was quite cute. The little tw there was a lot of shots of his butt in bed, and I can't pretend that I wasn't interested in those.

SPEAKER_06 32:53

Nah.

SPEAKER_02 32:54

But talked a big game shaking it at beefcakes.

SPEAKER_06 33:00

But only when he was in the mood to be objectified. Yeah, I love that.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

Like, actually love it. That was my favourite part of this season still when he was so upset about that. Being pretty little short of it. It was like he'd just been like assaulted and he was like, How dare you do this to me? And then they cut back 10 minutes earlier, him being like, oh, suck it up, Harry. It's for the tip. I was like, that is great. Television.

SPEAKER_06 33:27

Yeah, yeah, those. It's a special factory that they get their South African piss cat bison bisons bismos from.

SPEAKER_02 33:36

The bullsins. Well, occasionally they are from Zim.

SPEAKER_06 33:40

Who was from Zim?

SPEAKER_02 33:41

Uh Joelle.

SPEAKER_06 33:42

Ah, see, I was gonna put him in there. I was gonna put him in.

SPEAKER_02 33:45

All of these men, they're so toxic, and I find them so hot, and I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 33:49

Even Gary?

SPEAKER_02 33:50

No, not Gary. Gary is no an anomaly.

SPEAKER_06 33:55

Who was the OG Ashley?

SPEAKER_02 33:57

Because they all want to fuck Gary, but he's just I don't understand why anyone wants to fuck Gary. But they all do.

SPEAKER_06 34:02

His hair?

SPEAKER_02 34:03

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 34:03

He must just He got a bit shredded for this last season. He must have looked back on his previous seasons and been like.

SPEAKER_02 34:10

He's got like an alcoholic like glow. Oh, funny about that.

SPEAKER_05 34:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:16

Yep. Um, can I cast your mind back to episode nine, which was called Foam Party? That's where we're gonna start. Yep. This was really like a tension building episode, and probably the few before that as well were we were kind of building. Um this is why where we start with the rest of the crew in the hot tub. Harry takes Brie to the guest cabin. And as you've said, you reckon they did a little bit of let's not do this. Yeah, yeah. Uh but he's done it all up with some rose rose petal heart shart shapes on the bed. Cute or cringe?

SPEAKER_06 34:58

Uh look, there was a time in my life that maybe that would have been cute. And you know, if I was Harry's age, sure. Now, with an old crone, no. Is Harry hot? I'd be like, who's gonna clean up those rose petals? Yeah is Harry hot? Harry's lovable.

SPEAKER_02 35:14

Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_06 35:15

And you know what? If you if you were to like take photos of all of the different parts of him and and and put it write a dot point list of all of the lovely things that he did, you'd go, here is a real panty dropper.

SPEAKER_02 35:31

Yeah, you're right. Every now and then I catch a glimpse of like, yeah, his like arms or like his face or something, and I'm like, mmm, yeah, hot. And then altogether I'm like, nah.

SPEAKER_06 35:40

Well, it's got some kind of gangle in it. But but maybe it's one of those things that translates differently to an American audience. You know how they love our accent, which is like kind of cringe. Yeah, do they?

SPEAKER_02 35:50

Sometimes. I don't know. They like making fun of it too, which I I also I encourage. Um, yeah, they sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's like really silly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 36:01

I don't know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:02

I feel like it's how we feel about South African accents. Or Kiwi accents, you know what I mean? Like they're kind of silly. M most people don't think they're hot, but like, I don't know, secretly we can't. I don't know, Sim. I don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_06 36:16

I don't know what you're talking about, Sim.

SPEAKER_02 36:18

Yeah, um Vihan's plan to stup Adair is also afoot.

SPEAKER_06 36:24

He So is this season is this episode pre-letter? No.

SPEAKER_02 36:29

Uh, this is post-letter, I believe. Yeah. Yep. They kiss in the kitchen before going to their separate caverns. Uh Adair turns the lights off and scrolls through her phone. The the the shots of Adair in bed scrolling on her phone with that paper plate in full paper plate mode.

SPEAKER_06 36:47

She's going through the motions.

SPEAKER_02 36:48

That is all it is.

SPEAKER_06 36:49

I look at that as a trauma response. She's dissociating. Yes, hard.

SPEAKER_02 36:53

It's like, wow.

SPEAKER_06 36:55

People are gonna say, I feel like she's like boxed in. She looks she how she's so young.

SPEAKER_02 37:00

Yeah, she's gorgeous.

SPEAKER_06 37:01

She's from Hicksville. She wants a guard with a truck.

SPEAKER_02 37:06

Yeah, which Vihan was never gonna deliver.

SPEAKER_06 37:10

I think. Do you know what? That conversation, jumping forward and we'll get there, but she had a little conversation with um the Hoddy and Mamma Maria I can never remember Marina. Marina. Um Marina Gasolina saying, uh, Nick partied with the guests.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Yeah, like that's right.

SPEAKER_06 37:31

Fully implying that he'd like to everyone else that he stood.

SPEAKER_02 37:34

Which even she was like, But do you know what this reminds me of?

SPEAKER_06 37:37

I did a summer camp in America with 16-year-old girls, and I remember one of them saying, Oh, I've got this boyfriend, I've been we've been together for four months, I'm just deciding whether or not we should kiss. And I'm like, what?

SPEAKER_02 37:48

Excuse me.

SPEAKER_06 37:49

That's what I think. Yeah, cuddles are for Bible camp, right? That's what I feel like Adair is.

SPEAKER_02 37:55

Yeah, Adair is giving Bible camp energy. Like But you're right, something's happened because she can shut off. Yes. Do you reckon she's from like a cult or something?

SPEAKER_05 38:07

Oh, that's how shut off she is. Yeah. Cult of pickup trucks. I just want a man with a pickup truck.

SPEAKER_02 38:15

She doesn't sound like that at all. No, and she doesn't look like she's gorgeous. Yeah. Anyway. Uh, this is when Marina gets mouthy with Captain Jason. Oh, yeah. Hello, hello, Captain Jason. And he finally kind of activates um because he's it's not Captain mode. Yeah. Gets into gets his dad pants on. Uh, and also some drama about her laundry position begins to escalate. And I love Lara is so classic. Like, she does not, she's not investing in her staff. She's like, there's no professional development opportunities.

SPEAKER_06 38:50

But also Jason's saying to Lara, put her on service. She's like, and she's like, but she's just not very good though, is she?

SPEAKER_02 38:57

And Jason's like, well, how do you know she hasn't been given the opportunity?

SPEAKER_06 39:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:02

I almost feel like Lara's a little bit like, but she's not blunt enough to be on service. Like, she does want the like model girlies on the floor.

SPEAKER_06 39:11

But it's more like she's not like bestie enough for me to bother possessing her.

SPEAKER_02 39:15

Yeah, and that. Yeah. But I also think she wants her and Adair and Bree to be like visible. I don't know. She's giving she's a mean girl. Like Lara is like mean school girl vibes.

SPEAKER_06 39:28

Do you know what blonde? You're right, because she's grooming Alyssia as well.

SPEAKER_02 39:31

True. She wants her. She likes the little blonde girly cult. Yeah. I don't know what those girls are like. That's a bit Jamay.

SPEAKER_06 39:42

You've got more experience with those girls than I do.

SPEAKER_02 39:44

Unfortunately.

SPEAKER_06 39:45

And I went to an all-wheel school.

SPEAKER_02 39:49

Uh tensions between Harry and Vihan also escalate. Vihan has Tiny Man syndrome. Let's be like hard.

SPEAKER_06 39:56

He's like again, the South African boasting factory is pumping out the same guy.

SPEAKER_02 40:01

Harry's like twice his height. Yeah. And I love watching him try and like belittle someone that is like towering over him. It's kind of impressive. Well, we've got Frida here. I mean, you know all about it. She does whip me into shame. Yes, honey. We're still recording.

SPEAKER_01 40:20

Hello.

SPEAKER_02 40:21

Yeah, I do enjoy this stuff. Later on, when they get in into it in the cabin, like, what the f like how he's like, don't even talk to me right now or whatever. And Harry's like, what are you even talking about? Yeah. Like, what? Sorry.

SPEAKER_06 40:36

There's a man who doesn't know what his own point is, and he just has to yell.

SPEAKER_02 40:40

He knows that he wants to be authoritative, but he doesn't know why or how.

SPEAKER_06 40:46

No. And so he's just he's he's using his authority to say, don't talk to me. Which makes no sense whatsoever. But I'm sure in his mind it looked really grown up and powerful.

SPEAKER_02 40:58

Yeah. I'm ending this conversation now. And in his mind, I think it's like when you're in that position, like Bosaun, you are like gifted, like powers. Divine authority. Yeah, yeah. Whereas like he doesn't think that you have to like display like leadership behaviour. He's like, well, no, I've got this. So like I'm I'm choosing to use it in this way.

SPEAKER_06 41:19

Well, if he's got divine powers, it's a position that's just opened up.

SPEAKER_02 41:26

The smoke turns to smoke is white. Rihan comes out of the chimney. How are they going with that? I'm not following that.

SPEAKER_04 41:39

How are they going with the biggest thing?

SPEAKER_02 41:42

Are they still uh deliberating backstage in the interior illusions lounge?

SPEAKER_04 41:48

I think so. I think Rue's still talking with her squirrel friends.

SPEAKER_02 41:52

Yeah. Rue does make the final decision.

SPEAKER_04 41:55

I mean they're wearing fabulous gowns, so why not?

SPEAKER_02 42:01

Oh, these guests are cooked and they have a phone party, as the name of the episode would.

SPEAKER_06 42:06

Um That phone party should have been illegal, did you? I've never understood like the appeal of foam parties until I saw that.

SPEAKER_02 42:13

To be a bit gropey, maybe?

SPEAKER_06 42:16

I just think of how dry it will make my skin.

SPEAKER_02 42:19

Yeah, I you're right. The next day. Stitch soap, and the next day your skin is gonna be like a fucking.

SPEAKER_06 42:25

I've only just repaired my barrier, man. I don't need that. But um, I've never seen a phone party that hectic.

SPEAKER_05 42:34

It was wild.

SPEAKER_06 42:36

Was it on another episode of Below Deck where they had a foam party that the foam just didn't foam? Probably. Was it with Gary or something?

SPEAKER_04 42:44

Or was it the incredible Below Deck Adventure?

SPEAKER_02 42:47

Oh, Below Deck Adventure.

SPEAKER_04 42:48

Fuck that season was floppy.

SPEAKER_02 42:51

Yeah, they put they occasionally there's a phone party and yeah, varying degrees of foam. This was probably the foamyest.

SPEAKER_06 42:57

I don't think that production or the boat owners would have signed off if they'd known that it was gonna be that foamy.

SPEAKER_02 43:03

But they got their drone shot for the promos, so well done. Good on them. Uh Lara and Vianne dispute. So they're kind of this whole time they've been low-key disagreeing, but it hasn't been as like overt as the like head of department drama normally is when you have a character like a Hannah or a Kate or like a someone that is not afraid of confrontation. We see this, but like actually, I think Aisha was a bit confrontation adverse as well.

SPEAKER_06 43:33

No, that's just Aisha wouldn't let the confrontation escalate. She was really good at just saying it in a neutral tone.

SPEAKER_02 43:39

That's right, true.

SPEAKER_06 43:40

And she wouldn't sort of step it back. She'd be like, no, this is this is how it is, okay? I and I would have a hard time arguing with Aisha because I'm like, you sound so reasonable.

SPEAKER_02 43:49

I think Lara's approach is to just be as popular as possible. She I don't think she cares about what Captain Jason thinks. She she wants the popularity of the girlies on the boat, which she has. So she feels a little bit invincible that way.

SPEAKER_06 44:02

I wonder what her next career move. Like, is she a career steward or is she her eyebrows made sense to me only when she had a really heavy heavy cat eyeliner? Yes. And I'm like, oh okay, you're going for a 60s fembot thing.

SPEAKER_02 44:17

Triximatel.

SPEAKER_06 44:19

Yeah, but before that it was they're not an everyday eyebrow.

SPEAKER_02 44:23

That's not no. I feel like she got them tattooed on and it's too late or something. Yeah. But goral. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 44:31

Time to go back and revise that decision.

SPEAKER_02 44:34

Yeah, so that episode kind of finishes with uh Vihan going straight to Captain Jason like a kid seeing the principal.

SPEAKER_06 44:40

Because he didn't think Johnny cleaned up enough foam. Yes, yep, yep.

SPEAKER_02 44:43

So then he was spraying when the guests sun deck cleaning drama, which I was like, whoa, the season's on fire. When the cliffhanger is you might not clean up the bubbles. It's like, fuck, this is gonna be a long season.

SPEAKER_06 44:59

But also, Vihan, I he probably won't rewatch this season because he has no self-awareness, but he didn't see that fucking foam.

SPEAKER_02 45:07

You did not see how much foam there was.

SPEAKER_05 45:10

No, mate. That foam was taller than Harry. You're too busy writing love notes to a dare at a sixth grade level.

SPEAKER_02 45:18

Your face resembles a pipe of plight.

SPEAKER_04 45:21

I would like to eat off it.

SPEAKER_02 45:25

I would love to eat a buffy of premium bunny chow prepared by Baldly Shaw.

SPEAKER_04 45:34

Bad curry.

SPEAKER_05 45:36

The bad curry don't remind me.

SPEAKER_02 45:39

Oh yeah, Zaraina was making curry again. That and so being tattled on only activates. Tiddly taddly. Which is great because we needed some activation there. Yeah. Episode 10. This is the one. It's called a Greek tragedy.

SPEAKER_06 45:55

Okay, and A plus that, and also the dramatic production and editing. We go back in time. We start. This is we started with a shot of Harry's full snotty tears. Like to the point where Simon was like, Wait, are we halfway through the episode and he's trying to rewind it? No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 46:13

No. In Bravo In Bravo world, this means shit is about to go down when they're like 24 hours early. Yeah, when you get the when you when you're told that it is 10 27 a.m.

SPEAKER_06 46:27

Doomsday clock.

SPEAKER_02 46:27

It's oh and as soon as I saw that episode. I was like, we're getting the episode finally. We've all been waiting for it. They did fucking like sp you know, spoilerina it.

SPEAKER_06 46:39

They really need to get on top of their spoilers because it is not okay.

SPEAKER_02 46:42

I guess they want to keep you hooked because those first episodes were a slot.

SPEAKER_06 46:46

Don't show faces then. True, just show hands hitting walls.

SPEAKER_02 46:50

But they've all got such distinctive bad tats that we'll be able to figure out who it is.

SPEAKER_06 46:56

I don't know. I was I was clinging to a little bit of hope that it wasn't Johnny. I wanted Johnny to be like the nice Greek guy who doesn't touch things.

SPEAKER_02 47:04

No, I could tell. Well, he also said he's into like jujitsu or whatever, so I was like, of course it's him.

SPEAKER_06 47:09

But was was he the one that was reading all of these like books heightened like philosophical tomes? Was he? I don't know. Was that a different season?

SPEAKER_02 47:21

Yeah, I don't know. I don't recall such things. Just because he's Greek doesn't mean he's into philosophy, mate.

SPEAKER_06 47:27

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was it was some other guy um from the last season. I can't even remember who.

SPEAKER_02 47:34

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_06 47:35

Do you remember that? And he was he was he was I think he was like Pan or something, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 47:39

There's always some guy like that that's like I'm deep, I'm not like the rest of the world.

SPEAKER_06 47:43

And again, he was a model and he had long hair.

SPEAKER_02 47:45

Oh, Alex? That's the curly hair. That was the Alex, wasn't it? They've put him on another show.

SPEAKER_05 47:50

He was on Winterhouse, and he caused some chaos on that.

SPEAKER_02 47:55

Oh, below deck on land. It's very below deck on land. He stooped around Of course he did.

SPEAKER_06 48:00

Hits what he's there.

SPEAKER_02 48:00

He's gorgeous.

SPEAKER_06 48:02

What's his OnlyFans?

SPEAKER_02 48:03

Oh fucking win. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 48:05

As if he's got one. Does he? Surely.

SPEAKER_02 48:07

Nah. You'd think they do, but I don't know. Or when they do, it's literally just like a photo of their toenail and they're like, ha ha, gotcha. Because you don't know what's behind that paywall.

SPEAKER_05 48:16

With Asia to be like bumholes and poos and toilets. Did you see she went on Amazing Race?

SPEAKER_02 48:22

With Scott!

SPEAKER_05 48:23

Scott!

SPEAKER_06 48:24

I knew I'd seen her somewhere else. I couldn't remember where it was.

SPEAKER_02 48:27

I don't know if that's been or it's happening. I don't know. I don't fuck with um AR, but love and light to Asia.

SPEAKER_06 48:36

I used to love it because I used to think I could do that. But it's too much running with backpacks.

SPEAKER_02 48:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 48:43

And that is an uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_02 48:45

We would be a great duo on AR.

SPEAKER_04 48:47

Yeah, our anxiety would be really good. And our need to be early for everything.

SPEAKER_02 48:55

But neither of us have a driver's license. So I'd need you so I could be passing the side.

SPEAKER_04 48:59

Yeah, that's just yelling from the back seat.

SPEAKER_05 49:02

I've even got a motorbike license, babe. You've got and a motor yacht.

SPEAKER_00 49:06

Motor motor yacht katinka. Katina! Katinka!

SPEAKER_02 49:10

Oh, so huffing and puffing, Vihan gives Harry confusing directions uh to prioritize cleaning the sundeck. Or yeah.

SPEAKER_06 49:20

Can I on a on a side note, I didn't understand Johnny's underlining code. Like, is he underlining things to do or things that are done on the whiteboard? That's an aside.

SPEAKER_02 49:28

Oh yeah, the whiteboard is a mess.

SPEAKER_06 49:30

I thought that was gonna be the point of contention, but clearly they all understand the process there.

SPEAKER_02 49:34

The whole crew mess gives me so much exactly.

SPEAKER_06 49:37

And also, Vianne didn't have a schedule for anybody. No. And is it Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:42

He doesn't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_06 49:43

He doesn't know what's going on. No.

SPEAKER_02 49:45

He's just looking in the mirror.

SPEAKER_06 49:46

I was starting to wonder if he was illiterate, but then he wrote a letter.

SPEAKER_02 49:54

Jason wakes the fuck up this week. Um having a brief chat with Lara about her spat with Vihan. He decides to clear the air with his about his awkward run-in with Marina last episode. So like he kind of get nips that in the bud. Yeah. But she's pretty good about it.

SPEAKER_06 50:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 50:13

Yeah. I mean you have to it's the fucking captain.

SPEAKER_06 50:15

I she's outrageous in that I think she's actually fun but has a bit of perspective. I agree. That like there is a world outside.

SPEAKER_02 50:23

Yeah, and she's pretty tough. Like I think that conversation would break a lot of stews. Yeah. But she's like, cool, thanks.

SPEAKER_06 50:30

They'd all be like in their head about it.

SPEAKER_02 50:32

Yeah, like, oh no, the captain hates me. But she was just like, yeah, thanks. And I think he was very like isolated the behaviour. He wasn't just like you suck. No. And he's also on her side a bit with um the Lara situation, like a little bit. Because he likes leadership.

SPEAKER_06 50:49

But I think he did a similar thing with Johnny. He's like, look, you were good at this and you were good at this, you're good at this, but you gotta get that fucking temper in check, man. You can't be doing that kind of stuff, you can't lose your head. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:00

Then while they get changed into their blues, Harry and Vianne continue to argue about an unfueled jet ski. Um and Vianne complains about Harry's undermining of his authority. But I'm like, is it undermining of your authority when you don't know what when you're pointing out something that's not done? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 51:21

I mean it's it's it's dibby-dobby, but it's also like dippy-dobby. You you gotta make a note of all of those things so that you can take it to Captain and get that gaffad.

SPEAKER_02 51:35

Get that gaffad. So bad. Um you gotta take note, yeah, I love that. Like whenever you have an issue at work, everyone's like, write everything down.

unknown 51:43

Get it in an email.

SPEAKER_05 51:44

One email.

SPEAKER_02 51:45

Yeah, it's like day three, day 10 27am.

SPEAKER_06 51:50

Sobbing with the girls.

SPEAKER_02 51:51

Astrid's just called me a dumb bitch.

SPEAKER_06 51:55

Look, she's right. No one heard. She's absolutely and it was all in my head.

SPEAKER_02 52:01

She's absolutely right. Oh my god. So yeah, this continues their kind of tension between their dynamic, which is like I love that Vion thinks that people are gonna be on his side because you're watching it back and you're like, mate, like you're being so unreasonable.

SPEAKER_06 52:21

Apart from being two white men on boats, I can't think of two people who are quite so different.

SPEAKER_02 52:24

Yeah, true, true, true, true. But the the similarities end there. Yeah. Particularly in height. But also in perspective. Harry is a cute like a soft boy, and it's cute.

SPEAKER_06 52:36

Yeah, it's cute, and I hope that he doesn't like you know, out himself as an anti-vaxxer or anything.

SPEAKER_02 52:43

True.

SPEAKER_06 52:44

I want I want good things for Harry. Me too. I think he's legit.

SPEAKER_02 52:46

I'm buying it.

SPEAKER_06 52:47

I don't want me for Harry, but I want good things for him. I don't want me for Harry either, but yeah, I until we find out that he's a Nepo baby and like uh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 52:57

I feel like they would have told us that by now. They would have thrown him under the bus in the edit. Dad was Captain Winklebottom from No, so we're getting that with Nick though, aren't we? Yeah, Nick is the Nepo baby. Uh the guests leave. I can't actually remember who these guests were. They were the phone party guests, but I can't remember like what was their vibe.

SPEAKER_06 53:16

Sorority sisters against the book. Oh, is it themselves?

SPEAKER_02 53:19

The guests have been not the focal point of this season at all, which means that they're not doing anything crazy.

SPEAKER_06 53:25

No, where's Roy Orbison Jr. Jr.?

SPEAKER_02 53:27

Exactly, or like, yeah, or one of the real housewives or something.

SPEAKER_06 53:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:31

That's what we love.

SPEAKER_06 53:32

Or the drama queens.

SPEAKER_02 53:34

Yeah. We had some like the first guests, I think, were the ones with the anal beads or whatever. That was kind of funny. And then after that, we've heard nothing from the guests.

SPEAKER_06 53:41

But where are the ones that know about food? Oh my god. The restauranteurs, you know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:47

These guys leave a big tip though. It was 25k, which is big, especially considering what the next guest, the Dubai ladies, did, which was gagworthy.

SPEAKER_06 53:57

I know. That was like stingy motherfuckers. Yeah. There weren't there was no sound effects for that either.

SPEAKER_02 54:03

It should have been a sh or like a Yeah. Yeah, they just kind of were like, oh yeah, that's the tip. I was like, no, shame them.

SPEAKER_06 54:13

Well, Jason did. He's like, and that's not a reflection of how hard we worked or how well this went.

SPEAKER_02 54:18

No, I don't want that. I want but it is a reflection on how stingy these women are.

SPEAKER_03 54:22

In Dubai. Because you are their slaves. Exactly. They were but they were talking their cash up. I don't know. We'll get that.

SPEAKER_06 54:30

She got an award. Oh media excellence. Well, she's got a PR firm.

SPEAKER_04 54:36

Hey, a small tip is not good, PR, baby girl. No, it's not. You've got to splash that cash to make sure people know how rich you are.

SPEAKER_02 54:44

So the crew get ready to go out. Let's be honest, the episodes where they don't go out as a crew suck. Like they should have that on every episode. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 54:52

Because we need them to go out. That's yeah, because there are just there's filler episodes, otherwise. It's like, yeah, okay, cleaning cabins, okay, mopping. Oh, okay, VN's shaped again.

SPEAKER_02 55:02

Yeah. Also, these nightclubs in the Seychelles, woo. That are all empty.

SPEAKER_06 55:10

But yeah, we're getting the No. There's no like Yeah, there's no distant shots. It's just like the rotating camera in the middle of the crew who are dancing in slow-mo.

SPEAKER_02 55:24

So good. Um, as they get ready to go out, um, they're all checking in with each other in their cabins. Which this seems to be this season, like where all the good shit goes down. As happens again in the most recent episode as well. But Lara vents to Brie about how frustrating it is to work with Fiann, which I'm like, yeah, pretty obvious. Meanwhile, Adair gets ready to go on her date with Vianne, which I totally forgot was happening. Like, this is I just when they go on the dates.

SPEAKER_06 55:53

I could not watch. Yes, like you know when they when they the produ production obviously says to someone, hey, go out for a coffee with this other person and talk about no So they go and have like the most awkward sushi experience. I was like, what Yeah, but they don't get sushi in pickup trucks. I don't even know if Adley, what's this saying?

SPEAKER_02 56:19

Don't you flame grill your fish here? What next? Is this catfish? Yeah, Serena, uh, then just it this is why we love her service. Unleashes chaos uh on the night by telling the whole table, sons, Adair and Vihan, that um Vihan grabbed her ass and kissed her neck, which we saw and like did happen.

SPEAKER_06 56:45

And that's why Johnny, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 56:48

Then so it's like stunning throwing under the bus. Then Lara wastes not a minute. Like Adair and Vihan return to the group, and like before they've even like had their first Siggy, like she like pulls her aside and tells Adair everything that Serena said.

SPEAKER_06 57:05

And Adair was secretly in her mind going, Oh my god, thank god I've got an out.

SPEAKER_02 57:09

Yes, she's like, fuck yeah. Fuck yeah.

SPEAKER_06 57:12

I think she she just said something like that. Yeah, and she's like, Oh thank god.

SPEAKER_02 57:16

She knows she's like out of it.

SPEAKER_03 57:20

I was relieved for her.

SPEAKER_02 57:22

Me too. And then in true like Greece, it was very like Wella Wella Wella, mm, because then Johnny, it's like bub, and like Johnny tells Vihan everything that Serena said, and then we get these like cut-betweens. This is quite cute. Um, it was like cut between, like, what did she say? So now the the beans are out that um surprise, surprise, Vihan's a messy bitch. It's like I could have told you that. You guys not got eyes?

SPEAKER_06 57:59

Yeah, meanwhile, Johnny's saying this to Vihan because Johnny's saying, Don't you go for Alyssia?

SPEAKER_02 58:05

Yeah, which was foreshadowing because it's like foreshadowing. But in John, in Vihan's mind, everybody wants to. Yeah, we're getting there, but like he's just like has puss wants me. Like, that's his like equation. Yeah. So it's all out there, but then shit really heats up back in their cabin, and this is when we get the most awkward thing I've ever seen in my life. Vihan, like threatening Harry, but for what reason I still am unclear about.

SPEAKER_06 58:38

I don't know. Um and Harry doesn't know either.

SPEAKER_02 58:41

And then he's like, Be careful. You need to stop what you are doing.

SPEAKER_06 58:44

And Harry's like, what am I doing?

SPEAKER_02 58:45

And he's like, Could you explain to me in words being taller than me? Stop being taller. I told you. I thought you stop what you are doing.

SPEAKER_04 58:56

Stop being taller than me.

unknown 58:58

Fuck.

SPEAKER_02 58:59

And I actually loved Harry because at one point I'm like, is he trolling? Because he's like, What am I doing though? Like it did get a little bit less.

SPEAKER_04 59:07

Mary King George. Are you mad?

SPEAKER_02 59:10

Yeah, but why are you mad though?

SPEAKER_04 59:11

Why are you mad though?

SPEAKER_06 59:14

But I think Harry wanted to know.

SPEAKER_02 59:16

I actually think he genuinely was just like, nah, but what? Like, what's going on? And they're drunk.

SPEAKER_06 59:21

And meanwhile, Johnny's in the room with them, not saying anything to anyone. I think he's just saying, you two go away from each other.

SPEAKER_02 59:27

Johnny was uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable. He doesn't like getting in between Yeah, but he wasn't doing anything constructive. Oh, not at all. He he just couldn't be fucked. In his mind, it was like he had boner vision for fingering Alexa Sush.

SPEAKER_05 59:43

He wanted to be fingering the suship.

SPEAKER_02 59:46

And he was like, Great, these guys will fight, they'll leave, and then I can get into bed with Alicia. And fuck them. Oh wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Um so at the hot tub, Lara and Serena rally around Harry who's having his little cry. And this reminds me of Crazy. Oh walk off this. It was me at the time. Yeah. It's literally me, like in high school, drinking too many cruises and like crying for no reason. And everyone's like, they're like got one hand on your back, but they're also like looking around being like, what happened?

unknown 1:00:28

Do you know what I don't know what happened?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:30

And you're like, everything happened. You know. Oh, yeah. We don't know. Harry, we don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:37

We don't know either, Harry.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:40

And then Cuddlegate commences.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:43

Oh, and the way I was screaming at the telly.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:48

Screaming. Screaming. Iconic. It was like we all remember where we were, you know, 9-11. I've done that before. The moon landing. You've done Cuddlegate. What? Were you Alicia or were you Johnny?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:01

I was the girl. I was Alicia.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:03

And someone else hopped into your bed. No. Although, so you hopped into my bed.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:08

I was at a party and I was having a nap in someone's bed, the guy who I liked, and my friend came in and had a nap next to me. And this is a friend, a really good friend of mine. And I woke up halfway through and then I was like, we're making out. And then I was like, oh no, you're not who I thought you were.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:22

Oh my god. Actually, I think I know this story, and I think I know who you're talking about. Oh my god. Oh no, it's just no. Wow. Amazing. So you've got a first hand boots on the ground experience.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:34

Yeah, but like she that it was different. Yeah. And and the other. We weren't working on a boat. And the other person didn't come in.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:42

See, that would have happened. Did the other person find out?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:46

Oh, it probably would have saved me two years of heartache and pain from our subsequent relationship. Oh my god. But yeah. Yes, it would be a bit.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:59

The cut between of Harry suoking and then also this happening. So like Alicia walks in. It's pitch black. It's pitch black. She's like, doesn't know what's happening. She's like, Johnny.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:10

Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Oh. Johnny.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:14

And then hops into the aunt's bed. So it's like.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:18

She doesn't know. She's been on the boat for 20 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:21

Maybe I'm on her side with this. I don't think she knew, but it is like the one the one questionable thing I have is like that was where his bed has always been.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:30

But they showed us that at the start. Yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:34

They were fucking trolling her okay. They're like in a chair and I was like, this is Beyond's bed. I'm like, to that I say, they do sli switch around all the time, no?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:42

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:42

I feel like they do. Because it's like I've watched every fucking season of this godforsaken show. And they fucking switch around sometimes.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:52

Especially on nights out.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:53

I know, and they're like, can you go out because we're gonna store up and things like that. So I don't think that's the crazy bit. The crazy bit is Vihan being like, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:00

He's like, sure. He's just like, what's going on? What's going on?

SPEAKER_02 1:03:02

Oh, a girl wants to fuck.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:06

He knows. He knows it's not a dad. Look, maybe he was asleep, but maybe he had just woken up like he knows. He's not asleep.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:13

Yeah. And he went in for it. He would have he would have gone in for like all of it. If she hadn't got if Johnny hadn't walked in.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:22

Yeah. Crazy. And so crazy. Johnny, to his small credit, did not blow up at Alicia. Yes, yep, even though you're right. As soon as she walked out, she apologised and he's like, You're okay. You're okay, you're fine. He was not angry at her.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:42

And then he sat on it and then he chose violence. And I want to a wall. And they've had so much to drink, so it's like, yeah, I think you're right. That is to his credit.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:50

And I think if you want to take one little positive out of it, but it's still not okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:55

And I think that's why they chose to not like fully shame, shame, shame him, which I'm impressed with too, because they But also his audio grabs all season have been heaven.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:04

Heaven. But he he had like a caricature.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:17

Yeah, that's right. He did, he did. It was the Greekest Greek thing. But um, yeah, that was wild. So wild.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:24

And yeah, it did get a bit scary, and then the way that they like shot it, like edited it like a horror movie. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. And then like him covering the camera with some underwear, which felt kind of like snuff film. Got really dark, really dark.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:38

After the knuckle bite, oh the best little the knuckle bite. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:43

Anyway. Episode 11 was called The Shots You Don't Take, and really all that happens here is Johnny and the Aaron get fired. Yep. It's like the dust settles from the cuddle gate. Uh they both took it pretty well. Charles Impressed by, but also they're up being filmed.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:58

Yeah. Alesia depressia.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:00

Yeah. And iconic Queen Adair just going, Oh no, not Vyanne leaving the boat. My love, please don't go.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:11

And Lara giving us one little iconic moment. Yeah. Um, Johnny and Vianne have left the boat. Yeah, we're all gonna miss Johnny a lot.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:20

Silence. That was good. That was one little moment. That was her that was her one like stunning diva moment. But she needs we need more of those. Yep. Uh yeah, that was less eyebrows, more icon. Ha ha yes. More iconic. Then fucking bring on the newbies. Um we get Nate Salmon.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:42

Another hot babe for some reason. I mean, I think salmon is fuckable.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:47

I meant female girly. Oh female baby. Sorry. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:52

But then you couldn't because.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:54

They want they need more men now because they've got to be able to do that. They lost two beefcakes. They live cakes.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:00

They needed some new salmon and a bloody theatre boy.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:07

Yeah, we've got salmon and Nepo Child. Who's just I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:14

Oh, I'm so sorry. Soft tequila. No, it's not what I do.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:18

And yeah, straight away, so the Dubai ladies check in, uh, which did make me sad that we no longer have a real house house of Dubai, because that show was amazing, and they can't it. And it could have been them. Uh, and then they all seem to be doing well, but dun dun dun. Nicholas takes a shot of tequila, which is a no-go. And I love who is it? It's like Brie or someone. It's Brie.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:43

We can't drink uncharada. And you know that he wouldn't have said anything to the captain were it not for the cameras.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:50

He totally. And I mean, I wouldn't either. Ep 12, uh, across frenemy lines. We get a rum tasting.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:01

We get Serena being pissy because she's got to pull some foil off.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:05

This was great when she's like, Do you think you'll be alright? And she's like, Alright, taking the fucking foil off the potato side? Yeah, I'll manage. I'll manage. Thanks so much.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:16

And then Lara, after the fact, has the noive to say, Oh, you left before the de the guests arrived. Like, she was thinking Zarina would be there to serve the guests, saying I need to be.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:28

I think that's just like I think in Lara's mind it's like the ultimate luxury experience. Like, have the personal chef with you. But it's like, who cares? That's why you have a Sioux.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:37

Who wants Zerena's energy at lunch? Not me. Oh, indigestion.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:41

Keep that shit away from it.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:45

Hello. Does anyone want just a funny story about the back cutting? Yes. Who was the chef that used to like sing at karaoke and stuff? What's her name? I love her. Oh fuck. Then I was like, give me a real nest.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:00

Oh, Rachel. Rachel. I love Rachel. I love her out that much. She had three like acts to her. There was messy Rachel. There was Rachel with the boyfriend. And then there was great cleaned up Rachel. But then she was good.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:15

She was great. She was a good chef, and she I liked her vibes, man.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:18

Oh, she and she walked off the boat. She told Captain Lee she could shover up his show.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:24

Cooler. And she was everything. She was a roofer. She was so good. Bring her back on. Captain Lee's gone now, so put her on. I saw they've got Jeff Ben back for the next season at Dalanda and Daisy. Because I think maybe Sailing Yacht's taking a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:44

Well, yeah, Sailing yacht was done. They need to refresh that. And Daisy should not have been like Daisy and Gary, like put that to bed.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:54

What, yeah, one from Agare. Oh, one out here, one.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:57

I just want to know if.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

I could watch those two forever. I could not. I know it's dead horse territory, but I still just get a kick out of her just smoking a cigarette and being like, Gara, what do you want from me, Gary?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:14

It's very like.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:16

I'm trying to smoke a cigarette. Gara.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:20

I just every time I look at them, I'm like, you two had sex a lot, and I'm not okay with it.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:25

Yeah, I know. Yeah. She did that to herself. She would have pegged him. Oh, fuck yeah. Oh, Terena's trust issues remain, even with new Sue. Alicia.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:36

So yeah, go on. No, that's I was just gonna say Zarina is taking out her um uh unpopular girl energy on poor little Sue Chef, who's heartbroken.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:50

Um when she's dressing up like a little pin-up girl.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:54

Lara's when Lara's trying to groom her, so Zarina's angry at Lara taking it out on the little guy.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:59

So true. And uh yeah, I think now that Alicia is a part of the cool girl click blonde girl or blonde. I think Zarina is not okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:09

Zarina's I think for her own health and well-being, she needs to be taken off reality TV.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:17

Yeah, but for my health and well-being, she needs to remain on the show.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:21

She's she's looking in herself fantastic. Oh, yeah, she looks great. She looks great.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:27

If Adair has a paper plate for her face, what like Serena has the opposite of that.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:33

She has what is the opposite of a paper plate?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:35

Like she can't mask. And that's why she's great for TV.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:39

She actually said that as well while she was drunk before she blew up at Lara. She's like, I can't, I physically cannot mask my feelings.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:50

Which is great. The producers are like, we know. The psych evaluation told us everything we needed to know. Frida.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:57

Stop that. Frida Wanita.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:00

There's a mysterious deliberate man at the door. Frida's protecting us from. It's very cute. Uh this was, I thought, a very patronizing, strange moment. Nate makes Harry lead deckhand.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:16

I think it felt unnecessary because there was never any question about leading it, needing a lead deckhand. And what there wasn't a lead deckhand previously. But also, like Was it a bonding moment?

SPEAKER_02 1:11:28

I was confused this whole I think so. I think they were like, let's make this thing. Also, it's like before that they showed us a package of Harry like explaining the whole boat to Nate. Something like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:36

Yeah, and Nate's like, and Nate's like, yeah, I'm just gonna let him do it.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:40

He's like, nowhere to go here. I love a strong independent woman. Uh grew up with a mother and a sister that was also a woman. It's like, okay.

SPEAKER_04 1:11:48

Alright, alright. Yeah, where's this gonna go? Yeah. I love women so much that I can't keep my hands off the strawberry shortcake bikini.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:58

The Dubai killes leave us a pitiful patent. And then we get this like very long break. Normally it's like that happens and then they just go out. Or they do or they clean up and stuff. This was like them bumming around the boat all afternoon.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:14

Some of the Dubai girls left early in the morning and the clubs, that nightlife in Seychelles does not kick up.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:21

True, true, true.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:25

But yeah, but we also needed all this time because this was when uh this is when Zarina got into her orange bikini and barged into a room and was upset because someone else was having a conversation.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:37

Yeah, well, in her defense, Alicia was having a bitch.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:41

It was about It was about her, but people are allowed to have conversations.

unknown 1:12:46

I know.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:47

Is this a private conversation? Yes, Zarina.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:51

Oh my god. And then Nate flirts with Alicia in the hot tub.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:54

The salmon and the bean.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:55

The salmon, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:57

What's that fish you've got on you next to the cancaboo? Yeah, it's the salmon. Me name's salmon. Me nickname salmon, too. You've got a lot of pink bits. Oh, I love to swim upstream.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:12

Then they go out for dinner with Captain Jason. You know, Captain Jason loves joining them, but he's not allowed to go to the club. You know he wants to.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:20

Do you think? I don't think he does.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:22

I think he said it in an interview once.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:24

I think he's like or about not going to the club.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:27

Yeah, he wants to, but they're like the producers won't let him because they want them all to misbehave with him. Cut loose.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:32

Yeah. I don't know. I just get the impression that he's like, alright, thank God. The children are gone. Maybe a little bit. But then at the club, things heat up.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:43

Yeah, Nick and Marina have an awkward danceful passion. Very quick.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:46

I I thought was it awkward or was it really long?

SPEAKER_04 1:13:50

I mean, awkward because it's an empty club. Yeah, that was probably no music because it's all post-production. Breeze just watching like woo and Lara and Zarina are in some weird green lit corner.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:04

But like I didn't think we were gonna get that so soon. No. They were planting it like that. I don't know who started it. No, no idea. It almost looked like he did. It did. Surely not. But like I mean Is it an act?

SPEAKER_06 1:14:17

I think it would make sense because he's so useless that his timing is completely outrageous. That's faster than Johnny was trying to move.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:26

True. Maybe he's got less time with us because what they've probably only got like two charters left, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:14:31

My highlight of this episode though was before that. Yeah, the three boys were in the and and Harry's there, like talking to the new guy, saying, Alright, come on, give me the goss. Who are you into?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:42

Harry's a real gossip quack.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:44

And and Nate's Nate's talking about Alicia. And then um Nick is like, oh yeah, I like Marina, and Harry's like, ooh, fire. And he's like, no, I think she's very, very nice. And it was just No, actually. What do you mean? Fire it, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:03

Fire it. She's got a not a short temper, one bit. Like his little accent is cute. Oh, you're not. He almost it's like because he's he he's French, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:11

But then his mum is daddy's French.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:17

Um he's we'll find out in a later season when his dad's captain.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:20

True, but like the accent sometimes sounds really Aussie. Like when he's talking, I was like, I was like, oh, he's Australian, but then like, oh no, he's not. He just kind of has a that international school accent.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:30

Well, yeah, or British.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:33

It sounds like that's the thing, those international schools. Global. They like give them these fake British schools. Oh, really? I th I've heard the ones where it's like, uh, I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:43

Who knows?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:44

Anyway, he's not one of us.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:47

No.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:48

But could I could have for me for a bit, I was like, oh, totally.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:51

Yeah, two more Aussie guys. I keep that's what I keep thinking. Bad luck for Adair, the four Aussie blokes just hang on, four, three, four with Captain.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:01

Yes. They had to a quota to reach for it to be down under. Uh Lara and Serena finally have a little bust up. And it's about plates. Plates. Plates, plates, plates. Those hideous plates that did not match the theme. I died. What a cliffhanger.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:20

Those green plates were gross though.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:22

They were disgusting. But to leave us on this, I was like, wow.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:25

But also, you don't serve curry on white plates. Not bat curry, no. Not bat curry in a bucket.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:31

I don't know. If I was on a like luxury yacht, I would kind of want everything to be white and crisp. Like just, you know, like look really white glove service. I would want that. And I know it's not, and I would not want fucking $2 shop shit on the table.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:46

That's the thing that gets me every time. When they walk in, they're like, it's amazing. And everyone's wearing like plastic Vegas glasses. No.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:53

Uh it cheapens the whole thing. Can't you just get some flowers? What's wrong with just some flowers? Orchids. Literally just buy one orchid.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:02

One. That's what they do on in like And you know what? Smoke machine.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:07

Everything looks better with a smoke machine.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:10

A little mist, little hay.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:12

Smoke machine, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:13

Yeah. And some that's sometimes they get good stuff on. Like sometimes they get like a drag queen or like someone to come on and do a little number or whatever. That I would be happy with.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:23

The local dancers, yeah. It's so awkward.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:27

But at least it's not the crew being the dancers. That shit is cringe.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:31

I don't know if it's worse being the crew or the the the guests when it's like performance night. Nuh uh-uh-uh.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:40

No, no. Well, we did it. And then here we are. Another four episodes. The boat is docked. Thank fuck we didn't get a boat dock drama cliffhanger. I'd prefer a pla ugly plates drama cliffhanger.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:52

Yeah, I want to see that archive footage of Captain Jason explaining why he ran his boat into the dock again. Yeah, we haven't they haven't rolled that cliff at all. We haven't seen that this season. Maybe Katina's too important.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:06

She's a beautiful boat. She's a professional boat. She's got a lift. And a lot of stairs that they love to tell us how many stairs people have.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:12

Yeah, but automatic doors that don't work this episode. Oh, that's right. I was expecting that to be a thing. So how many episodes have we got left in the season?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:20

I think another five. I think we have 17 episodes this season. What are your hopes and predictions?

SPEAKER_06 1:18:27

Well, I want to see a reunion special after.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:30

We haven't had one of those for years, right? No. And I don't think Cohen is so dumb with Vladek. He does not care.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:37

Well, I mean the casting kind of suggests it as well, doesn't it? What else do I want to see? I want to see um I don't want to see it, but I want someone to actually sturp, properly.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:47

Yep, yep, yep. Oh, I want to show. And who's gonna stup? I reckon maybe Nick and Marina, but they seem the horniest. Because Harry's not putting out.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:59

I don't know. Nick just screams kind of pre-commy to me. Absolutely. But hey, he might surprise us all. I don't want it to happen in the shower, and I don't want it to be Serena.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:13

Because I want who's Serena, gosh.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:16

I worry for her mental health.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:17

Me too.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:18

But I don't know. We need eyes on Serena. Look, uh we might see a shower masturbation scene from her. Like, do you know what I mean? If she gets so penned.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:30

Yeah. She does need a good I don't know. Surely, aren't there like faceless engineers on the boat, Dricken? She's down in the engine room.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:40

Looking for the new Colin.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:42

Ooh, Colin was dreamy.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:45

It'll never get better than Colin. No.

unknown 1:19:48

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:48

I don't know where this season's gonna go, to be honest. Because it's so like.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:52

And I don't want to know, because we the f whole first half was spoiled, so I want this to be blind. I just want it to happen, and I want to strap it, strap in.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:01

Yeah. Strap in, strap on.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:04

Maybe that'll be the finale. And I want Captain Jason to wear more kimonos and sell more kimonos. That was a moment.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:11

I didn't actually realise he was selling kimonos.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:14

Oh yeah. She's on the branding game.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:18

And is Harry a budgie smuggler partner?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:23

Surely at this point. They did some content that I don't know if it was sponsored or not, but they did post a video that uh the other day of them all in budgie smugglers, and I was like, Sponk on.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:33

Yeah. Crossover.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:35

Anyway. Thanks for joining me this week, Astrid. Arigato Pleasure. Arigato da day. And um I'll see you soon.
