Some 18 episodes later, we are finally on our last charter.

Does anyone else feel like this season could have shaved off at least two episodes worth of footage?

A total of 19 episodes feels excessive, especially for a slog of a season.

I would like to have a word with the producers!

There was one incident in particular on this charter that stunned me more than this seasons episode count.

Why does Jordan wear his allegedly six-figure chain while tubing in the Mediterranean?

In fact, Jordan looks like hes having so much fun in the sun that Dominique wants a turn.

While back onboard, Jordan realizes he lost his chain in the water.

He asks Courtney if there are any opportunities to dive.

I am obsessed with Captain Sandy this season.

To Dominique and his pancake request, all I say is: Be serious.

Youre on a megayacht with a culinary superstar and you want pancakes multiple times for multiple meals?

Also, American breakfast food is a flop anywhere other than America.

Who knew the semantics of pancakes would cause such a stir?

On one hand, at least Dominique knows hes difficult.

when served with a plate of fresh crepes from a personal chef.

Its exactly as disgusting as it sounds, and of course Storm and Dave tried it too.

The new girl, Ellie, is good!

I wonder what the Natasha-Natalya dynamic would have looked like if Ellie had been onboard from the beginning.

Tash even admits that Kyles absence is doing wonders for her and Natalyas relationship, whichduh.

She and Kyle lived together, worked together, and bitched together.

She had no room for anyone else, even her other teammate, Natalya.

But back to Ellie.

I have nothing against stilettos, but they just dont seem to have a place on deck.

Needless to say, I was worried.

Luckily this seems to be a cut-and-dry case of a learning curve.

By the end of the episode shes up to snuff and even earns Natalyas stamp of approval.

And shesbackon a boat after that?

You couldnt pay me!

And, of course, would this even be a recap if we didnt discuss the Dave-Tasha-unnamed-ex triangle?

I urge Dave to reach out to a third party.

Not that Tasha is entirely hinged either!

Again, with this couple, there are no winners.

Natashas ex-boyfriend direct messaging Dave is too much.

And at first Dave handles it maturely and responsibly.

I am proud of Dave!

And then … and then he has to go ahead and say hes never been aggressive toward Natasha!

Babe, we have the footage.

Natasha has to laugh.

We may behome, but this is not where the heart is, Ill tell you that.

From the Galley

I am obsessed with Courtney and her lack of football knowledge.

Reid saying hes known as being flirty is laughable to me.
