I want to clarify some things, dear readers.
For the record, I like Storm.
I think hes reasonable, methodical, and knowledgeable.
If he overanalyzes on a regular night out, no problem.
But … its how he ended the date.
Natalya cant do seriousness when shes out, she claims.
But maybe Storm is someone who can and wants to.
Neither of those approaches is right, and neither is wrong, but simply different.
My homework for this couple is to discuss their going-out styles.
Id like both to draft up their perfect night out and compare notes.
Now lets talk about Jason, who has a serious attitude problem no matter which way you cut it.
Oftentimes when theres a feud, its easy for viewers to split down the middle.
Team This Person versus Team That Person.
To choose the opponent would be signifying your own delusion.
Jason is an ass.
He is arrogant and rude and stubborn.
I want Jason to get fired and fast.
I cant put up with him anymore.
If I hear him punctuate one more sentence with a passive-aggressive dude or man, Ill throw myself overboard.
Lets count the ways in which he fucked up this week, shall we?
Because its your fucking job.
I like Tash and feel for her.
I think she has a lot of insecurities and is easily taken advantage of by men.
As Kyle says about the pairing, its a nice idea but had shit-ass planning.
Hours before service starts, she and Dave discuss the menu.
Dave says the meal will be a buffet nothing coursed out.
Tash seems to hear this.
Then, at dinner, shes full steam ahead on wine pairing.
Even Kyle hints to Tash at the start of service that this idea is half-baked.
Dave, to his credit, takes this massive change with stride.
Even Kyle urges Tash to throw in the towel, and yet …
I have no idea how our exes will fare for the rest of the season.
Ignore whoever is causing you grief!
But dont lie about it.
This exchange grows a little heated when Captain Sandy walks in.
Sandy solves the problem swiftly and closes that loop … for now.
Now, the moment weve all been waiting for: Kyle and Frank.
Im sorry, I want this to happen so badly.
I dont want Kyle to get in trouble, of course not, but Im desperate for some joy!
For Frank to normally call Kyle Steward but tonight call him Daddy!
Even the primary guests sister, Jennifer, agrees.
She says that Kyle and Frank will be boyfriends and that she will marry them.
To that, I say, Absolutely!
Kyle is aware of his precarious position.
He has a crush!
And like any of us with a crush, he doesnt care about the rules!
At the same time, we know Kyle is a rule-follower.
Claim that false sense of control!
Meanwhile, Ill be forever thinking about Kyles remarks about pancake-nipple Frank.
Areolas the size of earthquake holes should and will go down in history.

Courtney stays steering the tender to victory.
Captain Sandy pointing out anchor-dragging to Storm triggered my PTSD from the last season ofBelow Deck Sailing Yacht.Anyone else?
