Can you pick me up?

Im scared of this weeks charter guests and their dynamic.

I already forgot how many guests total were onboard, but only four showed up to the BDSM-themed dinner.

Did anyone else catch a glimpse of him throughout the charter?

This dinner situation is a red flag.

To be clear: I do not blame them and would follow their lead.

Imagine sitting next to a latex-clad Jonathan who insists on using a gravelly Batman voice.

It would just remind me that I am next to not Robert Pattinson but a lecherous old Instagram man.

Hannah calling their dinner classy and not gimmicky did give me a laugh.

Things only got worse the next morning.

Im almost surprised Bravo let this trip happen?

At least they end up leaving the biggest tip of the season!

Mzi notices this too, asking Courtney if she feels comfortable working out with the primary.

Captain Sandy laughs because, well, there was no incident!

But shes happy with Storms initiative and transparency.

Whom is she not happy with?

Captain Sandy catches stew No.

2 shit-talking Natalya and tells him to cut it out.

I think she handles the moment with the perfect balance of sternness and grace.

She doesnt go too hard on Kyle, but shes firm enough to make an impact.

Enough of an impact that Kyle apologizes to Natalya in the laundry room.

Also, his apology is funny.

Is it necessary to tell Natalya that you called her a bitch behind her back to Dave?

Natalya says she doesnt know why Kyle is saying sorry when its Natalya who is being the disrespectful one.

This is an extremely toxic point of view.

Natasha also remarks that Dave is back to his old self.

Hmmm, Natasha, I wonder why.

Probably because hes free from your mind games!

Though I think seeing Tash in her BDSM getup set his progress back a few markers.

Once again, this naivete comes to bite me in the ass.

Why did you throw a wrench in our one moment of peace?

I am already bored by how this will pan out next week!

I guess its time to talk about Reid.

Courtney jokes around with him, asking him who onboard he fancies besides herself, of course.

This strikes a chord.

Courtney rejects this outright, and in her confessional she breaks down in sobs because of her intense self-hatred.

Reid fucked up, and he knows it.

Its not okay, and he wants to apologize and make it right.

I can tell Reid feels genuinely bad for offending Courtney.

I think he means well, but he suffers from an extreme case of social awkwardness.

At dinner, he apologizes again.

Courtney accepts his apology, and Ill be honest, I let out a huge sigh of relief.
