I'm normally more along the lines of an accountless lurker, hoping not joining/posting will keep all of  my trashy reality show obsessions more secret, but this episode is the one where I finally join and comment, mainly because of all of the Amy sympathy I'm seeing. I need to know for real whether or not I'm crazy, because I don't actually think hooking up with someone your 'friend' (more likely work colleague) likes is awful unless it's in high school? I mean, I guess to me it would depend on the circumstances, but unless Amy was like a lovesick puppy, actively pining, and getting ready to ask him out/he's almost ready to ask her out, I don't necessarily believe in calling "dibs", friendship or not. Though what Kat did was wrong in the sense that she didn't actually seem to like the guy, just wanted sex, and Amy had an actual emotional and physical attraction to him apparently. I guess I'm saying it could be interpreted poorly for Kat, but without more details I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.
However, the behavior after finding out the rumor...that's entirely wrong. From the second they boarded the boat again you knew that the whole crew would be aware in 5 minutes. She was itching to tell someone. I thought Kate should have kept her from slamming the door or apologized to Amy after talking to Kat, but I think Kate was more just nodding her head and engaging Kat rather than actively gossiping.
But, to be fair, Amy "was walking to her room" (as she told Kelley) when we saw her follow the other two interior ladies as soon as she heard Kat say she wanted to talk to Kate. Or maybe that's just my interpretation, meh.
Another thing I see brought up on these threads often is Jennice (is that how you spell it?) being a poor deckhand. I think this is the first episode that it's truly been shown, as far as pulling up the anchor/ropes or whatever that was, and needing help from Eddie. While I know cruises are much different than yachts, but I know on the cruises my family has taken they called people who worked on deck "deck hands" even though the majority of the work is cleaning the boat and I guess just making sure it looks good/nothing grows on it. I suppose it may be different, and due to small crew numbers they'd want everyone to be butch and strong, but if they had 2 other deckhands and Eddie to deal with most of the lifting, I could see her being useful as far as waxing the boat/making sure all of the outdoor stuff is the way it's supposed to be. On the topic of Jennice...Amy's talk with her was weird/creepy and I don't get why she can't just stay in her own room and let Kat move in (I understand why she'd want to be with Amy over Kat, but the way it was presented on TV was she was just being forced to move over to Amy's).
Quite frankly I'm surprised Kat didn't try to work some deal to be in Ben's room. Or does he only have one bunk? I've forgotten.
Other comments:
The guests were repulsive imo, I mean yeah, you're paying for the yacht you can do what you want, but I don't find that to be attractive behavior ever, at all, especially if they were all related and so crass, that's even worse.
Kelley and Amy seem kind of whiney to me. Even if Amy was more justified in her whining this episode than Kelley. Maybe it's just because I never had siblings, but I don't get the tear/hug fest every week.
Jennice on the phone with her boyfriend at the end was hilarious to me. I imagine she was thinking along the lines of "I just turned down a hunk for you and you won't even see me when I'm in port?!!"
I never liked Adrienne, liked her even less in just this 1 episode than all of last season. Her hugs/kisses were weird and I think most everyone who received one looked like they were uncomfortable with it.
Ben finally managed to get the food out on time, I'd say good job but in reality it'd be more of an "adequate job" seeing as it's expected you eat at a scheduled time, not whenever Ben feels like.
Speaking of the dinners being late, anyone notice how when Cpt Lee eats with the guests, the dinner is never late? Do you think it's because production wouldn't do that to him, or Ben wouldn't do that to him? Or just a case of correlation?
I apologize for the spazzy character of this post. As I said I just finally made an account, so I guess I'll figure out how I'd like to format my ideas/opinions of the shows I watch as time goes on. I'm also sorry if I got any info wrong, as I don't commit my full attention to the show, I watch it more just for fun and then to know what's going on when I go read the forums later. I personally feel that people's comments are often more entertaining than reality shows themselves.
