Below Deck Season 9 - Part III

Captain Lee has always worn cha cha boots.

I want to see Fraser and Wes hook up.

Jake is a mussy teaser.

I'd like to see Kate return.

Is there a new episode tonight?

If I have to look one more time at Captain Lee wearing a sleeveless T-shirt while lifting barbells, I may vomit.

Rayna and Fraser are trying to out-whine eachother.

Eddie, keep telling Rayna she’s doing a great job and maybe you’ll start to believe it.

I love these guests. The men are total gentlemen and the ladies are lovely. I think the cranky one in the last episode was under the weather because she was very sweet in tonite’s episode. And they left a great tip.

Please post on this thread.

The other one is paywalled.

I did too; and the vow renewal thing was unexpectedly sweet.

I feel like Rayna needs to be coddled. She needs to hear she's great every single minute or she'll have a mental breakdown. People like her, craving validation all the time, are exhausting to be around.

But when Rayna is paid a compliment and told she’s great she doubts the sincerity and complains about that. Can’t win.

My tv froze and skipped......how much was the tip?

25000

I really loved these guests too especially the utter charm of the primary. One of my favorite charters.

I feel bad for the guests that they had to be in an episode that featured the N-word storyline happening in the background. It doesn't feel like they deserve that.

Rayna’s energy is ghetto trash. Anyone who has spent time around anyone like that can spot it a mile away. I know they’re going for diversity now but yachting clientele are racist and I doubt they appreciate having that energy around, sulking and clicking her tongue and rolling her eyes because she’s expected to behave like an adult and do her job. Poor poor oppressed Rayna.

R18 the good thing is that anyone watching Rayna this season would NEVER hire her to work on their yacht.

She's lazy, she's obnoxious, she's a trouble maker, and she's a total buzz kill.

The guests were very classy

I wonder if there will be a reunion; Andy, not exactly the tactful or gracious person in the world, has the dubious task of asking a black woman who was called a racial slur in a seeming lame and awkward attempt at banter by a drunk white woman. While she has a right to be offended, said white women apologizes repeatedly, which Rayna appears to accept, but then uses it to manipulate other crew members including her boss as a means to deflect from her own poor performance & sullen attitude on a superyacht when everyone is expect to smile, smile, smile - no matter what. Even recappers seem to take a hands off approach to Rayna. That's tough one.

You’re right R21 except for the fact that Rayna was not called any slur. It was said in front of her by a drunk woman parroting her. An apology was then given. It’s just wild.

Team Heather

FUCK RAYNA THE RACIST, LAZY CUNT.

They would be wise the skip a reunion although I have no idea what excuse they would give.

Normally I hate the "woke position"and everything the woke people have done to this country and our beloved institutions, but I mean, Heather to me is done. How big of an idiot do you have to be to be white and say the n word. In front of a black American. On a show where last season Pete's racist slave meme correctly ended his career. Literally 12 months or less then after George Floyd died and the liberals went rabid. On a BRAVO tv show?!! Either give Heather and Rayna their own show or give Heather the boot. Saying that word was always bad but after 2020 imo you have to WANT to cause offense to say it.

She was drunk and repeated what Rayna just said. You have to be demented not to give her a pass.

Unless you are a snow bunny, no white gurl can say that.

Reunions for this show usually consist of an extended episode of WWHL, so not a big deal.

[quote] Rayna’s energy is ghetto trash.

I can't believe people still talk like this, even on an anonymous message board.

Well, Jake behaves like what trash so there is that. Wearing Heather’s thong and showing his tired old ass was pretty low class even for this show. I hope Heather burned it or at least soaked it in Lysol for a few days.

I’m waiting for Rayna to be offended that the guests requested a WHITE party.

Granted, I am not of the class that rents a superyacht, but those theme parties seem particularly lame. I don't know if people genuinely want that or it's Bravo schtick "you have to have theme party so the crew can run around like chickens with their heads cut off while bitching about your stupid theme. It's in the contract!"

The preview had a very disturbing clip of Rayna and Heather....

R33 That scene from the preview will finally air!

Well now we know why Heather was hysterically crying. I almost don’t want to watch. There’s a 2 week gap between BD and Yachting. 2 part reunion?

Will Jake take his pants off at the reunion?

I'd love to see a written job description for Captain Lee.

1. Park the boat somewhere. 2. Announce, "Let's get this party started" like it's the most original thing ever. 3. Swear a lot, at least when talking to himself and staff. 4. Say plucky, salty, outmoded phrases. 5. Sit through dinner with guests, waiting anxiously for the moment he can excuse himself. 6. Barbells (?)_

If Captain Lee "does" much, we certainly don't see it on camera.

He supervises.

Captain Lee talks an awful lot about eating ass. But he also brings it up like it’s punishment which is crazy since I’d love to feel that grizzly beard in my poop chute. Rachel was on her best behavior all season but it looks like she’ll be in full cunt mode next episode.

Captain Lee loves to have his poop chute eaten out by Eddie.

That's why he talks about it so much.

DL fave Colin will be back for another season of Sailing Yacht. Just thought you should know.

WHAT, R41???

Colin could barely make it on a motor yacht.

WTF is he doing on a sailing yacht?

I'm talking about this Colin.

does glenn fall overboard?

Oh, I really thought you meant DL fave Colly Wolly! He'd be calling his mom every five minutes, sexting with Bobby all while singing showtunes at the top of his lungs. I'm disappointed now!

Rofl R45!

After her treatment by Captain Lee, Rayna, Rachel in a bad mood, and bitchy Fraser, way to make the one who said the n word the most sympathetic character!!

Lee doesn’t like Heather and he doesn’t even try and hide it.

I find the internet love for SY Colin baffling. The guy was barely in the season, to the point where I had to Google if he got edited out because of a scandal at one point. Now he’s this fan favorite?

[quote]Lee doesn’t like Heather and he doesn’t even try and hide it.

True, the whole N-word controversy notwithstanding, she's been an annoyance to him: she plans things that involve him without asking him first, the clothes all over the wheelhouse, no one on service while guests are looking for drinks. He's used to the chief stew constantly kissing his ass. Eddie, on the other hand, does a good job of managing the cranky old man, though of courses he's known him for years. On many levels, Heather seems incredibly oblivious.

Oblivious.....is that the same thing as having buck teeth?

They filmed a reunion.

Damn! Wes reading Rayna was the highlight of the season

Agreed. So grateful for him. He seems like a genuinely sweet guy.

Rayna really ruined the season for me.

She's just so fucking miserable, and she spreads that misery around.

And she clearly has mental problems.

So just to be clear, earlier in the season she said to Wes that she's not attracted to him because he's "too dark" and she only likes light-skinned guys.

Then now at the end of the season, she said "You're not black!"

Make up your fucking mind, you dumb cunt!

It was nice the way Rayna's story and misery blew up in her face when everyone saw her for what she is.

I hope she gets some help - and I hope all of her future employers take a look at a few episodes of the show.

Rayna, Champion of Black people everywhere told her black co worker he’s too white then dismissed her tirade the next morning by saying there was a lot of alcohol involved. Yet Heather slipped and said something she shouldn’t have when she was drunk but that’s no excuse. After last nights episode I think Rayna will be canceled. Also, did I miss something or did Lee never speak to Heather or Rayna about the N word incident?

The producers must be loving it that Rayna nicely wrapped up the season with a bow for them. After a season of wailing over the stupid, thoughtless comment of a drunk co-worker - that wasn't even directed at Rayna, Rayna similarly gets drunk and says cruel & insensitive things directed at a bi-racial co-worker, yet she wants to chalk it up to "well, I was drunk" excuse. Heather, while she is a clueless, tone-deaf moron, has every right to tell Rayna to go fuck herself. Hope she gets read to absolute filth at the reunion because deserves it

When is the reunion?

[quote] Also, did I miss something or did Lee never speak to Heather or Rayna about the N word incident?

Lee is originally from Michigan.

I don't think he cares much, to be honest.

Rayna ruined the season for me too she just so miserable. Go to Chef School

Rayna is a spoiled child.

No Jake at the reunion.

Professional victim Jess has spoken. Heather, again, took the high road.

Rayna is now going after Eddie who claims Rayna used the word F@@@@t in unseen footage.

Eddie straight up lied—twice.

jake is selling his thong on insta

[quote] No Jake at the reunion.

Damn. No Jakey, no watchey.

I would only tune in for him.

I hate Rayna.

Still watching, just finished the stew/Jess bullshit, but having this reunion without Jake is ridiculous. If he was unavailable, then reschedule. He he didn't want to appear, then say so.

Did Eddy say “the f-word” or the f-word?

Happiness is knowing R will have to live with the consequences of her behavior for the rest of her life.

I came out of this pissed at Eddie. What garbage, accusing Rayna of saying something she didn’t say.

You're taking drunk Rayna's word over Eddie's. We don't know who's telling the truth, just that there's no footage of her saying it.

Eddie lost credibility when he denied fucking Rocky in the laundry room and making her look crazier than she actually was. I don’t trust him.

I love how Rayna kept saying she didn’t want to be the angry black woman yet that’s exactly what she was. I’d love to know why attention whore Jake wasn’t there.

Production and cameras were around all of the time. He said that she said the f word multiple times. Someone would’ve heard it and/or it would be on camera, especially if it was something she said on a regular basis. He was being an asshole, and was trying to destroy her. He knew how bad it would make her look.

I believe him. Fraser was her rival for Jake. I can easily imagine her saying it when they knew they were not being recorded.

She doesn’t give AF about Jake, and is friendly with Fraser. Her sister is a lesbian. Fraser is the one in love with Jake, not Rayna.

She may not have been in love with Jake, but she went after him.

[quote] and was trying to destroy her

What, is this Dynasty all of the sudden? Take it down a notch.

[quote] He was being an asshole, and was trying to destroy her.

Good. I want Eddie to destroy Rayna. I really hate her.

TEAM EDDIE!

And I'm wondering if Jake skipped the reunion to avoid talking about his gay storyline. If that's the case, then he's a total coward.

R74 Rocky was certifiable. Eddie did nothing to make her look crazy, she already looked maximum crazy.

So she's bored with beating up Heather & now she wants to have a go at Eddie. All of this makes you understand the toxic culture on boats that Lloyd described last season.

I have no idea who is or isn't telling the truth (or really care either), but Eddie is a Bravo long hauler who's already been publicly caught in a big lie once, so I don't think he'd be stupid enough to do it again. Rayna, on the other hand - regardless of the race aspect - is an obnoxious whiner with no self-awareness at all. I think it's kind of interesting that Rachel isn't taking sides & just sitting this one out. I tend to believe that she's not the victim she makes herself out to be, but if she really behaved his way in private, why wasn't it addressed?

There's not a doubt in my mind that Rayna said "faggot." Multiple times. And I'm sure she said it in reference to Fraser, the guy who kept trying to cock block her fucking interludes with Jake.

Rayna is a horrible person. She deserves to be dragged.

It was very interesting how Rachel kept her mouth shut and even seemed a little frosty while Rayna praised her. Fraser had an opportunity to say he and Jake never fucked but left everyone hanging. I think they did.

R78 She can still be homophobic. Lots of people have no issue with lesbians yet are homophobic toward gay men. I even know of a lesbian who said it was easy coming out to her grandfather. He said it was ok since she was a lesbian. He accepted her. He flat out told her he wouldn't have if she was a guy coming out as gay. Lesbians are more accepted in society. It's sad but it's the truth.

R84 Fucking preach.

There is a lot of homophobia in the African-American community.

The Rayna Redemption Programme was a big failure. She's still a lazy, eye rolling, needy bitch. I hope she gets exactly what she deserves in life......ALL OF IT ALL OF HER LIFE.

Eddie flat out lied, but Rayna was so overboard she didn’t savor her vindication. Even Andy was like, I’m trying to help you here.

I can’t imagine Eddie would be so reckless.

Eddie has already lied once on camera (about having sex with that one chick).

That’s a frivolous lie. This would be a heinous one.

Just watched the reunion. God, Rayna says she doesn't want to be the "angry black woman," but she certainly was one in the reunion. She's a freaking mess. She should start drinking again.

I think it's a bad idea to have black people on the crew of a luxury yacht.

First batshit crazy Lexi. Now batshit crazy Rayna.

Never again.

Stop, r95. Wes and Mzi were both sweethearts. The craziest person ever on this show was that psychopath white as snow Caroline.

R96, you need to watch Lexi's season again.

She LITERALLY called herself "The Devil" and said that she wanted to make as much trouble as possible.

Rayna was less calculating, but just as much trouble.

Caroline was crazy, but not THAT crazy.

Caroline truly was the scariest mostly because she seemed perfectly normal. Rocky was also batshit crazy. Rayna is somewhere in between. I always felt that Lexi was acting for the cameras do it was hard to take her seriously.

Both Fraser and Rachel were surprisingly subdued during the reunion.

Funny how both Lexi's and Rayna's parents are supposedly "religious."

But they're both the worst possible human beings imaginable.

You’ve obviously never worked at a job with church blacks, R100.

This isn't a race issue; it's an issue of even somewhat serious people who make the effort to be professional yachties despite their personal issues (Wes) versus people like Rayna who just want to be reality TV/insta stars and will do whatever they have to do to get attention. Occasionally they bring in the genuinely troubled person like Caroline or even Lexi, who clearly wasn't wrapped too tight even if she was playing it up for the cameras.

I'm wondering if something happened between Fraser and Jake, which is why Jake didn't show up and Fraser seemed so subdued during the reunion.

It’s not that black people are good and white people are bad or that white people are good and that black people are bad. There are good and bad people of every race. Wes and Zvi seem like two of the nicest and hardest working people to have ever been on reality TV.

However, in this situation, Rayna is a homophobic bitch cunt. She said the N word and Heather just parroted her in a friendly way because she felt comfortable enough to do so. If Heather were racist, she would never have said that. She said it because she considered Rayna her equal. It was a really dumb move because white people should NEVER use that work. But…. Rayna should never have used it to a white person. I would never say fag to a straight guy. It’s just common sense.

The real racist is Rayna. She was racist toward Wes for no reason other than her own personal beliefs that white people are evil (even someone who is half white).

Of course Rayna said faggot. Eddie would not have bright it up if she didn’t say it. There is no way Bravo would have showed her saying it. Once the N word is brought up, nothing else matters. Blacks would have attacked Bravo for daring to suggest that the F word compares to the N word.

Heather could not even justify that she used the N word in a benign way. If she tried, she would have been crucified. Our culture is shit and until we face reality and start being honest, there is no hope for improvement.

I read on Reddit that Jake was having psychological issues that he had to deal with. Some speculated that he was manic while filming, which actually makes sense (getting naked every 5 minutes).

R105 I'd be manic, too, if I'd experienced Rayna's stank cunt in my face.

More proof that DL is correct about bisexual men.

When I was single, a bisexual colleague kept trying to have sex with me.. and he was living with his girlfriend who had no idea what he was up to. Looking back on it, he repeatedly sexual assaulted me. When no one was around he would take out his hard on and try to get physical. It went on for about two years. I probably should have reported him, but I was too young and naive.

Here is the link to his Instagram page, where he discusses his mental health issues.

R108 That post itself is manic. Sounds like he's not quite there yet. Maybe he'll eventually come out as 100% gay.

he mentioned self harm in some q&a story yesterday.

This season was such a cluster fuck.

Worst season ever.

[quote] This season was such a cluster fuck

Isn’t that the idea?

I just realized Heather has a Debralee Scott mouth.

H was not a fave of mine, but she certainly handles things well and with a cool head.

[quote] This season was such a cluster fuck

[quote] Isn’t that the idea?

The idea is a fun cluster fuck.

This season wasn't a fun cluster fuck.

It was miserable and hateful, thanks to Rayna.

I think a reason BD isn't as much fun as it used to be is in part because the guests realize now how they'll be perceived after the show so you don't get some of the really crazy stuff on previous seasons. Now all the guests seem to be high maintenance whiners with a laundry list of food allergies & complaints. BD now casts people who could be Instagram models, but seem mostly too incompetent to work at Taco Bell

The more Rayna spoke the more supporters Heather got.

Exactly, R117.

[quote]Both Fraser and Rachel were surprisingly subdued during the reunion.

I thought that too; I wonder if they both have aspirations to be on future Bravo seasons and didn't want to get in the mud with Rayna. I thought it was telling that Rayna gushed about Rachel while Rachel barely responded and didn't return the praise. Even though Wes was kind of spacy during the season, he handled himself with class while Rayna kept falling back on having a bad childhood/trauma & drinking for her behavior
