In short

Watch What Crappens recaps Below Deck Down Under S04E14 Part One, focusing on crew drama, especially Ellie’s escalating villainy, Mike’s downfall/dismissal, and romantic entanglements around the “bonfire” lagoon night.

Guest backgrounds

The episode is hosted by Ben Mantleker and Ronnie Karam, with a third “member” represented by the Morning Dove Outside My Window (comedic bit). No real human guest bios are provided in the transcript.

Key claims

great so we spent a lot of time talking about beverly hills so if you missed it come join us for the next one okay um that's i think it we got a big episode of below deck to talk about big one yes oh this was so good oh my gosh you know ellie has really really crystallized her villainy i mean she's you know she comes this is what our third season third or fourth season coming back on the show and she is really she tries it every time she does a pretty decent job but she has really become um a great villain i mean ellie has so many balls in the air and she can just she's just fucking with everybody at this point and i loved it i loved every second of it it was so funny and she she got you know she caused pure mayhem ellie is really a great villain on this show because i think it comes from an authentic place i don't think she's trying to be a villain i think that when she feels wronged she like lashes out and it's like i think it comes from like a like a deep place in her soul and not like even a mean place it's just like a place of like this is just how she sees the world no maybe a mean place but like it's just you know when they showed her coming on board earlier this season i just started chuckling because i knew i knew what chaos was about to happen and sure enough it's like it's just it's perfect she i think actually ellie is now at that tier of below deck stars that is like special right like that's normally reserved for uh chief stews bosuns and chefs and she's like the only one i would argue she's probably the only one of that's not a hod that has has broken into this tier of like when you see them coming you think oh it's gonna be a good season you know well i don't i mean i don't know she is in that tier because she is a chef because if you look at her instagram it says in her bio that she's a chef so well she went to culinary school after this which is pretty cool she went to culinary school yeah after this season wrap she went to culinary school so she she actually earned that title but she's probably not she was just giving it to herself after doing this you know chef assistant thing no no she she actually did she did the work she went to culinary school now is she qualified to be a full-fledged yacht chef just yet maybe not but um but yeah i mean but i'm sure we will see her as the yacht chef soon enough you know wow she's been angling to be in the game she's committed to the game she's gonna she's like below deck for the rest of my life i will be there you will see me don't you worry so good for her okay so below deck down under season four episode 14 head of the deck stew department yeah stew department she's so good she's so good that we left out the headline which is that stupid mike this is the demise of mike and that was pretty fun too but um yeah when you're when you get fired and you're still upstaged by a better villain oh poor guy i felt bad for him yeah i can't even do this right he's like oh i'd never keep a job well yeah you can't even keep a villain role that's so sad you got upstaged as a villain you got fired at the 30 minute mark you weren't even a cliffhanger for next week like that's just then you know you really failed fired at 30 minutes uh-uh like the only time it's except yeah like like no no like he should have been a he should have been a cliffhanger and the fact that he couldn't even get there says everything couldn't it happen to a cuter guy and they um showed him or he showed himself he had an instagram video where he's like oh hey it's me and he's shaved his head which thank god you know sometimes i feel like i really am manifesting from this chair right here but he shaved his head to see and um he has a video where he's getting in a cab or something with joe bradley and so they're making it look joe bradley is gonna come back and i thought oh god of course that's your friend fucking joe bradley what a piece of shit that guy is uh who do you think is going to be mike's replacement my prediction is brie from last season of of whatever they were on together no because they hated each other didn't they no but in the end they liked each other right because they realized that joe bradley had played them against each other right yeah but they're saying it in the preview it looks like they're bringing back one of her friends one of ellie's friends and they're like oh geez now ellie has another person just like her on her team and they're going to cause mayhem together so it looked i mean the ending was the best part of this episode i was like yes you're gonna bring in another ellie oh hell yes double the ellie double the fun double the chaos so i don't i wouldn't think that that's brie but i don't know i don't know i mean i really i was trying to think of the people that ellie has worked with that she knows and i all i could think of was brie I don't even remember who was the other Stu.

10:00Ben Mandelker: Was it just Aisha, Ellie, and Bree that season? I think it was, actually. You can't ask me below deck trivia because there's too many below decks, and you know I forget. I forget all below decks. Yeah, there's so many. There's so many. There's too much. So anyway, let's get into this episode because it's a good one. So at the end of the last episode, Ben has just walked away from Joao and Daisy where they have a head of department dinner and confront him for kind of sucking. and he's like oh i'm not gonna even pay pick up the tab pick up the tab let me know what i owe yeah yeah he's he's all mad that they've just given him some tough love and daisy's like that's such bullshit he does what he always does he deflects he blames everyone else and you don't get you don't get to hear the hard truth and walk off like that like i'm the fucking bad guy like Who does he think he has?

10:51Ben Mandelker: He's not going to have someone take the shrimp out of his fingers later on. How about that? The true insult.

11:00And Joao's like, no, you did everything right. Based on everything that I see, you've done everything correct. And Ben's like, oh, I'm quite taken aback by the animosity towards me. Absolute animosity. Well, for me, it's not personal. I can call you out, and I still want the best for you. Ben is a great chef, but we can always do better. And it's my job to demand excellence in all areas, including the galley.

11:30Ben Mandelker: It's my job to demand excellence. So excuse me while I put in a side pony and relive the 80s later on. It's my job to demand excellence. So watch me date Joelle. Like what? I know. There we go. There we go. Jeez. well i feel like a sucker they're building a unison against me this is very much a uh kelsey from rhode island uh that was a disingenuine oh was it i didn't know i thought i was just ignorant i was like oh i've never heard that used that way i mean i just assumed ben's so much smarter than me i mean i know ben so now i well now now i'm nervous unison i feel like is i don't think unison is like a tangible thing is it like unison as noun refers to the simultaneous performance of a musical part at the same pitch or octave oh yeah unison but i guess they're actually doing something at the same time or coordinated manner in unison yeah i've heard that in unison in unison i feel like it's a state it's not something that you build they're building a unison well it's a noun so they're building i'm not happy they're building a beautiful song that they're all going to sing in unison against me it'll be like listening to Pink and that guy from Fun singing their ballad.

12:49I can take a lot in this world, but one thing I cannot take are choirs. I will not have it. Whatever happened to Harmony? It's time for a commercial. It's time for a Crappens commercial. Lately, I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day, and I'm leaning into pieces that feel easy and comfortable, but still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go-to. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean, and everything just works without needing to overthink it.

13:23Ben Mandelker: Quince has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100 % European linen shorts and shirts from$34. Lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, but still look put together and clean in 100 % Pima cotton tees with a softness that has to be felt, Ronnie. Their pants also hit that same balance, relaxed and comfortable, but still polished enough to wear pretty much anywhere. Everything is priced 50 to 80 percent less than what you'd find at similar brands. And Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're getting premium materials without the markup. Let me tell you something.

13:56Ben Mandelker: That Mongolian cashmere sweater that I got from Quince, that is like a real icebreaker at parties. Because when people ask me about that sweater, I'm like, oh, I got it at Quince. They're like, oh, my God, I have one from Quince, too. And then we bond. You would actually would never think a Mongolian cashmere sweater could be such a bonding thing, but it is a lovely, luxurious item. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use.

And Daisy goes, what I want is people to feel good. When you look at my face, don't you say, now I feel good. You don't have to please everyone. And let me tell you something. I'll support you through this. I promise you've got a very strong Zim promise here. And we never lie. You got a Zim in me. So Daisy's like, well, thank you. Oh, it's going to be really hard. Well, I can see you coming off on top. People, you know. Oh, God.

This is the lagoon where Ben normally bathes. But they've set up a little bar there, and they've put up some LED lights that are flashing. So it's like a little bar just for this crew, and they're heading over to it. Yeah, this poor cast doesn't get to do anything. Everything is set up outside.

17:22It's like watching The Bachelor during the pandemic season where they're like, okay, your date is taking place on the patio. And we've brought a very famous grill chef out here. It is the guy from last season who's grilling you some hamburgers on the patio.

photo of him or video of him with his head shaved what's it do we know what his last name is mike below deck i feel like my brain doesn't want to know i would not say you think he would be a mike durant oh he looks so much better like good for him good for him for finally doing the logical thing and getting a proper haircut you idiot yeah but i don't know if it's a haircut or if he just went to turkey and got those plugs because he had videos of himself getting plugs in turkey so it might be that so i don't know if this i'm actually already taking it back i'm already taking it back because it's definitely so um here i'll share the screen well here's what i'm not above this on the show especially with below deck i tell the guys to get a haircut and then they do it and i get excited because i feel like i won something and then you're like no that haircut doesn't look good because it's happening with mike and it also happened with the the little guy last season who ended up you know screwing up by the end and what was his name the one who's who got that girl pregnant god what's his name the little the the lead deckhand come on help me um oh yeah last season nathan yeah nathan got a haircut and i was like finally and you're like nope i hate that haircut i said god damn it ben stop ruining my work okay we're resumed in we're really zoomed in um so first of all by and large yes an improvement it looks good it's just doing some weird stuff i this is really just because he's got he's clearly got like some plugs here to fill in here and in here so i think you just have like weird textures that are creating like sort of like um it's like alarm it's your nut hair it's like they take the nut they take the hair off of your nuts and then they put it onto your head and then it looks like nut hair mixed in with real hair yeah it's um and so it's just like a it's not it just needs to find its way a little bit i think overall this is an improvement it's just like um but the veneers it's just all it's all very love island like he should take some hair from joe bradley's eyebrows and put it onto yes because that's a lot of hair yeah it's a lot those two so that's that's the look right here this is why you should have crappin on demand so you can you can analyze this hairline with us you can touch eyebrows and haircuts on the guys so um ellie asked ben how the meeting went or the dinner went and he just shakes his head and she goes oh did they go after you he said yeah she says i knew it i could sense it coming he's a snake joao's a snake yeah ellie is on a rampage against joao which is really really hilarious uh but it you know the men are what always undo her right joe bradley himself is what caused her to go become deranged her last season on the show and now it's gonna be joao so Ben's like by the way Joelle at dinner why were you guys nailing me when I came back from the bathroom he's like well you don't understand where everyone else is coming from but why wouldn't you take my side lumpy lips he's like because I've always taken your side Ben all the time as a friend I will always be there for you I'll be there I'll be there from Zim and we are friends always, but stop thinking everyone's against you, Ben.

23:11Ben Mandelker: Take my word, I am not against you. I am just merely undermining you, which is a different concept. It's time for a Ben moment, everybody. Get a violin. He's like, I've basically been betrayed by every person in my fucking life. All of my friends, all of my girlfriends, my ex-fiance. Have you considered it might be you, sir? I think Ben is so entertaining on this show. Love to watch him. I highly doubt he's been betrayed by everybody in his life. I've seen you on this show, sir. Chefs are not toxic. A chef who's, like, leaving his everyday life to sail on the high seas is, how could you even think that someone like that could have a toxic trait?

23:55It's all everybody else. If it's everybody else, it's usually you. Take my word. Yeah, he's like, I have trust issues now. I think I attract that, though. I think I attract people that betray me. Or you just may attract people, and then you act in a hideous way,

24:14Ben Mandelker: and they say, fuck this guy, and they leave. And then you say, I've been betrayed. I've been betrayed. So Ben's like, well, then shut it. You shut it. No, you fucking shut it. No, you fucking shut it. So now Mike comes up to Ben, and he's like, excuse me, have you got a pen and paper, please? I want to go back with the title. I want to make the title on a pen and paper. put it on your forehead oh if you do not take this suggestion just want you to know that you shall be betraying me so Mike's like oh yeah could you write it on me he's like of course I have so then they take a non sharpie pen it's like a Bic pen and then Ben starts writing HOD on his forehead but it's like it's not an effective use of the pen I feel like first of all it seems like it's pretty waxy up there so like you're not going to get much traction with that yeah well he's not going to get much traction ever being hod so it makes sense so he's like look at me how does department made hod hod jenna's like what does that say it doesn't say it yeah that's what it should say it should say eddie had on it because then eddie it's not fucking funny and uh eddie is like mikey stop it because you're being a dick to her you're winding her up and I am her knight in shining armor.

25:33Ben Mandelker: Where'd she go? Where'd she go? Okay. You stay away from my queen. We've been together for 37 years. Eddie, you are really, and we didn't even discuss how gross Eddie, I mean, Eddie, calm down. You were not married to this person. You weren't even engaged. You weren't even dating this person. You need to stop. And this, Eddie, we get another example of the nice guy, quote unquote, who comes on here like, I'm the nice one. it's just my fault for always being too nice to girls and then he immediately starts love bombing and then when he doesn't get what he wants basically turns into like she was a slut anyway and starts slamming doors and beating up beds yeah he's like the moping is so extra over this too it's like you guys were like cuddling for like three days right was it really just time gets distorted when you watch the show because we see it you know happen like week by week so it feels like it's very long but the reality is is i think this is a relationship that spanned like two charters and you also like messed it up right from the get-go and then she only recently started cuddling with you again like this is built on a shaky foundation that you made shaky and then it's just enough enough already enough you wuss you absolute wuss over it so um he's like i don't like seeing jenna upset whether we're together or not oh so jenna walks away he's like you're a fucking asshole mike i don't like you're you stupid asshole and eddie's like am i upset still 100 do i still care for her 110.

27:12Ben Mandelker: oh dear he's like well if it makes you feel better i did just call him out i don't think you guys i can realize how bad he is that fucking twat that's what he is so mike is walking around being like mike hit a department hit a department and then he's like no okay listen listen hear me i said no i'm not gonna listen i'm not entertaining just get away from me he's like no please come back here my love my sweet my future yeah i won't listen to you but i defended you i defended you against the evil kingdom it's like oh my god what do you want a fucking medal telling that guy to shut up yeah seriously he's like i'm gonna get you into the water that's the easiest way to hide from stuff is just to get in the water also you look 75 % more emo when you're crying in the water you sir are no love island rob okay i don't know what you think you're trying to play here but you are no love island rob hiding in a pool so no please just stop whatever audition you're trying to have right now is failing just move on move along yeah So Daisy is like, oh, my goodness.

28:18Ben Mandelker: That's a bit much, don't you think, Jenna? She's like, it's not jokes. It's not funny. It's, like, so toxic. He's like, but he will never command the respect that you do, Jenna. But by the way, Ben told me he likes you. So there's that. She's like, oh, really? You can't smoke about me, huh? And so then Jen goes up to Ben. You can't smoke to me, huh? He's like, yes, we spoke about you. You're so sweet. You are. You are. Don't betray me. Don't ever betray me. Every time I meet someone as sweet as you, I sit back and wonder, how will she betray me? Oh, no. You realize I get triggered every time you come into the galley with a tray of drinks because I thought, she has a tray.

29:01Ben Mandelker: Only two more letters and it's done. So Daisy comes up to Ben and Jenna and he's like, hey, listen, I want to say from my heart, all right, I'm sorry that I was defensive earlier, all right? I really appreciate that, because I've always got your back. Now, sometimes it's with a knife sticking out of it that I'm holding, but still, I've got your back. And he's like, I know you do. I love you, all right? I love you. I love you, my little toffee tibula. All right, now that's... I love you, too. I love you, too. And I know you would have my back, too, especially in, I don't know, thinking out loud here, maybe if I were putting shrimp cocktail in a glass and someone took a shrimp out of my fingers and I said, hey, you took my shrimp.

29:44Ben Mandelker: You would say, give her back that shrimp so that way she could put it in the glass. Surely you'd have my back in that situation. Right, Ben? I would, but that shrimp has betrayed me.

29:59Ben Mandelker: All of the HODs here are used to running things. So it's hard to put our egos aside. And I'm really glad that Ben can take accountability for this because I want to move forward and just smash out the rest of the season or at least smash the rest of the season. Depends on how it's going to go. Well, you're my favorite Chief Stew ever. Oh, hello. Excuse you. Kate Chastain is showing up for you every single after show and stumping for you no matter what. You're sleeping on her couch. You're probably the father of her child. I would like to think that Kate just threw a martini at this TV right now.

30:31Like, how dare you? How dare you?

30:34Ben Mandelker: I would have, but like, why waste a martini? Am I right? So then Ben is like Daisy's like well you're one of my favorite chefs What? One of my favorites? Oh the betrayal from every pore of your skin So now Eddie is sitting by the water moping And nobody's with him So finally Alicia comes up And she's like come on mate Come on this is so sad And he's like you're the only one who saw me sitting over here And made an effort to see me It doesn't fucking matter Eddie And he's like, idiots Everyone's an idiot Oh god, you're walking over by the water So people will come be nice to you You're such a wuss Like, I can't fake it Drown him, drown him So now, Daisy and Joao are talking This is a busy lagoon And Joao's like, are you okay?

31:29Ben Mandelker: He's like, I'm great Okay, good, I had a great night Well, it has been good Thank you, you shouldn't thank me No, but you're a part of it Aren't you enjoying this pattern that we're having right now? Really? Of course, getting to know you has been different It's been, as we call it in Zim Zimfront This pattern we have, it's so romantic It's very goonlighting

31:54What?

31:55Ben Mandelker: Goonlighting? Like moonlighting But gooning And um So you fancy me? It's like, yes, well, if we were to cuddle, do we go into your room or to my room? Do you mind if I call you Zimble Shepard?

32:21So now we go to Mike and Eddie walking towards the yacht, and Eddie's like pouting still. Mike's like, Eddie, come on. I'm going to come back with your brother. It's like I'm a bit fed up with constantly feeling like I get made out to be the villain every fucking time.

32:39Ben Mandelker: People would only make you out to be the villain if they cared enough, Eddie. No one's making you out to be the villain. I guess he's saying because Jenna was like, I don't want to deal with this right now. Walks away from him like he did something wrong. And the thing that you did wrong in that situation is you're trying to simp, basically, and stick up for her to get into her pants after she just dumped you. So just back away. Take a no. Take a no. Yeah, take the L. Take the L. Because guess what L stands for? Lagoon. So Eddie is like. Eddie is like. So Mike is like, yeah, I'm going to wind her up, obviously.

33:16Ben Mandelker: Well, that's between you and her. She needs to learn to fucking grow up. You're the one who is sobbing into the lagoon right now. You're literally crying. You're crying right now. so now ben and jenner are at the bar and he's like could we get the fuck out of here i don't know go somewhere and just chill me and you baby so now eddie and mike are in the yacht and eddie's like we need to uh he's like we need to tidy this up because it's a mess so he's like we need to clean i don't think we did see anybody clean but at least he said it i thank you for mentioning that because i um i went through a second time to collect footage for the fish report which by the way is really intense this week and um they i never we never saw them clean we never saw actually any resolution to this like they clean did captain jason see anything that's how i just talked about that's also how i diet i go you know what i really need to do i need to just start keeping this house cleaner i need to get up in the morning and then i'll write a list like clean the toilet clean the clean the kitchen counters and it's like doing something you know or if you're like i'm really feeling like i need to be healthier i'm going to eat healthier tomorrow and then you look up diets on youtube and then i don't know you you buy a vegetable but you never eat it or do the diets it's it counts as something it takes the calories to make the list i feel like yeah i i think that counts it really does thank you um yeah yeah um so now we're back at the lagoon because we seem to be stuck in this lagoon this is a very existential thing like we're just gonna be in a lagoon for the rest of the season and i hope so because it was lit that lagoon was going off can i say something by the way that has nothing to do with anything but just popped into my mind i texted kind of thing to say i texted this to ronnie yesterday very urgently um i think i think it was just on yesterday's real housewives of atlanta recap that i was saying how my my timeline has become full of random facts and figures about tv shows and like 30 years ago on this day 25 years ago in this day while i was saying that whole thing yesterday little did i realize that yesterday was the 30 year anniversary of the final episode of sisters so i mean guys it was a i feel like may the 4th is known for being star wars day but let's also remember it's sisters day but you see that's how you that's how you know the universe is listening to you and when a man on bravo gets a haircut that's how i know the universe is listening to me it's like i feel like we're blessed we're blessed yeah we are we are because like as soon as we were done recording yesterday i went on to twitter and it said 30 years ago today well actually it said on this day in 1996 sisters aired its final episode i was like this is a big day this is a big day so it just popped into my head right now and i felt like if i didn't say it now there'd be no other time for me to say it that we are honoring the 30-year anniversary of sisters yeah we do have different algorithms because mine is like 30 years ago today pk's new girlfriend was born you know i'm just like always looking into like what pigs the guys are on bravo so cut back to the lagoon jenna is jenna and ben are laying on the sand together and he's like what do you like in relationships she's like oh i'm so traditional i never like ever date somebody i'm not good if i'm not gonna marry them but by the way meanwhile she's picking her butt and it's so funny she's like picking something out of her ass crack Well, she's like, I'm so sedational.

36:46Like, I'm Mary Pippa if I'm going to date him. Of course, I got flings and whatnot in the brain. And he's like, there's nothing wrong with that. It's very mature, very mature attitude. I'm sure Ben says that to every young person he's trying to date. You are so mature for your age, darling.

37:05Ben Mandelker: You're like a real grown-up, my little muddy macaroon. So Jenna is like. I can't believe you're not already driving. That's a tricky situation with Ben because I just broke things off with Eddie, but the truth is I do like Ben and he clearly likes my dad. And by the way, I also want to say that her like of Ben predated her like of Eddie. She was already into Ben way earlier in the season. So she's just acting on her initial impulse. So then he goes, you're such an old soul. I'm such an old soul. That's right. I am an old soul. She's not an old soul. You are not an old soul. He is just saying what you said.

37:46He is saying every old guy to a younger woman thing. Oh, you're so mature. You've got such an old soul. Wait until you learn how to vote. This world is going to change.

37:59Ben Mandelker: Listen here, you cookie cranberry. You're an old soul. You might as well be playing the Victrola. I am such an old soul. When I think about it, I'm really an old soul. Yes, yes, an old soul. Do you want to stay in my bedroom tonight, old soul? Yeah, that sounds great. I knew you'd say yes, my little Haribo Halix.

38:23So everybody else comes back to the yacht, and Joao is talking to Mike, and he's like, do you reckon Ben and Jenna stayed there? He's like, I know for a fact they're there. I'm going to call some shit. Good for them. Good for them. Oh, really? We'll see how good it is. Ah. Hmm.

And she's like, hello to Mike, but then totally ignores Joao. Oh, she won't even fucking look at me. so um and this is why bro you gotta like you break up after that cheesecake get he could have had a few more slices of that thing so uh yeah he would have he would have he would have won a lot more respect had he just done it before he ate the cheesecake i mean yeah doing that and doing that right after you ate the cheesecake they made for you i mean there's no coming back from that and that was an elaborate cheesecake so then we see eddie he's upstairs and he has his head on the bar like what the fuck do i do shut here's what you do just go into your room and jerk off already and be done with it okay we're sick of this yeah i'm sure that you can use your tears as lube you fucking weirdo yeah so mike's like it is my boy and jenna's playing eddie so well it's pretty obvious everyone knows that but he's stuck in this little bubble and eddie can't see it he's not playing him she she dumped him she broke up with him about nothing about that she maybe if the whole you know when she was when she made out with ben and then got right into eddie's bed directly afterwards um you could have seen the foundations of of her playing with eddie but she broke it off literally like two hours after that she was like yeah i'm not doing this that's not playing with someone she'd made a decision she made a choice and that's that yeah so and especially after he spent the season like oh i really like you and then going to like twerk with alicia and all that shit that he was doing so whatever eddie so mike pulls him aside and he's like we need to have a chat uh-oh that can't be good no it's not good it's not good all right listen jenna's been cracking on with ben tonight

43:11but i work out i work out so he's like really working himself up and you know pacing around on camera and like i've got to hit something he's doing that whole thing but like literally nobody is afraid and he's mumbling to himself you're a good person eddie you're a good person you're a good person eddie eddie if you can't take no without flying into a rage and beating up furniture you're not a good person okay yeah yeah yeah you know that shirt was like wow pussy you threw me against the

46:41I'm out of here.

46:44Ben Mandelker: So, yeah, Mike is like, I know for a fact that Ben has the hearts for Jenna. It's obvious. Well, congratulations, sir. Where have you been all season? Ben's like, I don't know. Mike actually is the head of the cock-blocking society that beholds me. I've been betrayed by the society. Thanks a lot, Mike. Thanks a lot. Sorry, Jenna. Not this time. he's so gel because he cannot get laid to save his life this guy yeah and mike's like are you you got you got to need all yeah and he's like oh for fuck's sake mate just go away god just leave me alone so okay what i was to say this mike does not need to insert himself here i mean this is his thing is that he inserts himself with everything but like this has nothing to do with you eddie lost Eddie Eddie fucked this up I'm sorry I think that Eddie Eddie ruined this entire thing with Jenna from right from the beginning it was never going to last and Mike you know Ben has actually been pretty nice to Mike Ben has really looked out for Mike so he's also like yes he might be standing up for Eddie but he's also fucking over his other ally which is Ben I think that's not cool well Eddie doesn't care about them he's just getting back at Jenna because Jenna's you know he's fucking with Jenna not Ben I mean, he's fucking with them both, but his goal here is to fuck with Jenna.

48:05And, you know, for someone who's inserting himself so much, I think it's just projection because he's unable to insert himself in any other way.

48:13Ben Mandelker: In all facets of life. Yeah, I've just got to insert myself when I can. And it's in other people's business because my penis isn't getting it. So now we go to Joao and Daisy in the crew mess, and she's now in peacock pajamas. It's a whole animal kingdom with Daisy tonight. and Joao's like, oh, you look very cute, by the way. What are those, Zimcock feathers? You're very sweet. Are you gonna invite me to cuddle with you? He's like, oh, well, I'm a jaded woman. I've been scorned, but until I do find something serious, I'm fully open and willing to have some fun, and I'm Kyrgyz. I don't know, maybe he's a good great kisser.

48:52Ben Mandelker: Like, let's go and find out. So Joao takes Daisy to his cabin, and he's like, let's cuddle. It's like, ah, let's cuddle Okay, hold me like I'm a little shrimp That needs to go into a cocktail glass Okay, I think I can do that So now we see 3.26am And it's very romantic They're in bed and Joah's cuddling her And you just see Daisy and she's like

49:19Ben Mandelker: Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary Gary, Gary, Gary Gary, Gary, Gary, Gary so then uh it's now it's 8 13 in the morning and daisy is like good morning did you sleep scared he's like i feel like little kids it's like well i'm gonna have to say something yeah ellie may get upset so daisy's like okay so uh meanwhile ellie's just showering she has no idea what's happening and um ben walks in now daisy's left her left joao's room and now ben has returned into Joao's room. It's like, what's cracking, matey? He's like, oh, what's going on? What's up, Dwight? Dwight? Did I call you Dwight for some reason? I don't know, but last night was a really good chat with Daisy and we had a cuddle, but that's besides the point.

50:13Oh, did you? You had a cuddle with Daisy. Wow. So betraying friends really turns the two of you on, eh? Wow. Did you kiss her? Did you guys Judas make out together? you know just want two betrayers kiss

50:28Ben Mandelker: and then uh we see uh captain jason feeding his fish first joao goes no actually i didn't sleep because she snored the entire night i felt like i was back out on safari so that's definitely why you should fuck people before you get into a relationship with them and i know it's like backwards from like the old school way of like oh you date and then you know no date no fucking until after date four don't waste your time fuck them right away and find out how loud they snore because that's very important to your long-term health yeah know about the snoring um so jason is feeding his goldfish and there's one fish that's going like this it's like opening up opening and closing its mouth a lot and jason's like oh i think you're like the way you're moving around a bit stubby got that kind of elf look about you i was like have you seen lord of the rings have you seen have you seen what the elves look like i'm seeing like orlando bloom with like long blonde thin like hair and then we have like mike with this like torch of of hair above his head i'm not i think we need to update the elf references for captain i think he meant hobbit that's probably what he meant hobbit and it's actually funny because you do see this fish it's opening closing its mouth because you know goldfish do that and then it cuts to mike eating they got a shot of Mike eating and he was just eating like the goldfish

51:53now we go to Daisy and Jenna in the storage closet gossiping and she's like Jenna where did you stay last night hey mom Ben well what happened with you and Ben okay well me and Ben and then Eddie comes in he's like is there any sunblock down here is there any sunblock are we even giving that to nice men anymore or are we just getting rid of that

52:17Ben Mandelker: once again he has no clue that they're talking about him because he just doesn't even he's just so a curious i also like that this little scene when he shows up is there they're in front of several boxes of calgon and i was like i feel like there's a joke in here about calgon take me away take the good people away calgon um so then jenna shows eddie a photo of two of them from last night she's like look it's a picture it's a nice photo of at least one good person he walks that mess pass this is exactly what i was afraid of but it's not for edit to make me feel bad i'm single and i can chat to her if i want that's right jenna i support you in this in your gradual lowering of standards away from trying to get swept away by a like an emirati dubai you work with what you got you know i mean it's funny that eddie is such a loser he's got people rooting for jenna and ben like oh ben's gonna end up much better this thing with ben's gonna end up great i'm sure that's a real charmer right there jenna speaking of which here i am i brought you a country omelet it's an omelet that used to live in the city until it was betrayed by It's friends and move to the country.

53:39Ben Mandelker: Enjoy. I've got an omelet made from only betrayed eggs.

53:47Ben Mandelker: The weekend of the country with an omelet. Here you go. Enjoy. So then. Now Alicia and Mike are in bed. They're making a bed. They're not in bed. They're making a bed in the guest cabin. And Alicia's like, I hope they make carbonara for lunch. Let's ask Jenna to ask Ben for carbonara. Excuse me, didn't you just yell at Mike a couple of weeks ago for demanding an omelet? I don't think you're supposed to be asking for things based on your own. You're right. Oh, my God. Also, why am I so amused? I just did not even notice that she said this. And it's just not until the notes. But why am I so amused by Alicia just like praying for a carbonara?

54:26Ben Mandelker: Oh, God. Let there be carbonara today. All I ask is for carbonara. There's something about her beginning of the season antics. And now that she's kind of run out of plot lines, she's just like, God, I just dream of carbonara. I know. And then she's like plotting to have her carbonara. Let's ask Jenna and Jenna can ask Ben and make this carbonara happen. Yeah. So he's like, Jenna, what's Jenna upset for? Because she just took your bait, Mikey. But it's all about the head of department thing. I mean, how can people take that seriously? Come on. Come on. but it was silly banter but you took it too far mikey you really need to learn to stop well do you want me to be honest about one thing i think you should have been given seconds to and she just looks at him and goes don't wind me up mikey don't i was actually surprised that she recognized his stupid ploy to like get him to fight me too and so then um uh but we have a moment with batul she's cleaning and she sees joao and she goes you look so happy and i love that I am.

55:34Ben Mandelker: Who are you? I'm Batool. I've been here all this time. Oh, really? Ah, that sounds too close to betray. So Daisy and Ellie are in their cabin, and Ellie's like, oh, just me. Coming Rapunzel's. Rapunzel's weave. Don't mind me. And Daisy's like, hey, Ellie, Ellie, I just want you to know I stayed in Joao's room last night. Nothing happened. No, that's okay. No worries. I don't. I'm done. I'm done. So you do what you need. You do what you need. You ride the town bike all over them. Go ahead. Tell me, what is it like to cuddle with a trash can? Because that is what he is. Trash can. So Daisy's like, I just want to be fun.

56:23Ben Mandelker: Did he still smell like cheesecake? Yeah, no, it's fine. It's fine. That's when you know Daisy's in trouble. Because Ellie, her voice gets higher than ever. The high voice. No, no, it's fine. It's fine. No, it's okay. Everything is great. Everything is great. I'm just going to dry my hair. It's fine. It's fine. Look, I made it through war. This is nothing. I'm fine. I'm totally fine. I'm totally fine. I'm going to give you the same voice I used at fruit stand customer service. Everything is fine. Everything is fine. No, yes, I'm going to have some milk now. So Ellie says, now he's going after Daisy?

57:02Ben Mandelker: Like, of course you are. This is the guy you are. Obviously, he is trash can. I don't give a fuck about you, so do whatever the hell you want. Trash can. Well, did you have a fun night, Alicia? Yes, I did. I had great time. Great time watching trash can make up with somebody.

57:22Ben Mandelker: So Alicia and Jenna are just hugging, and Mike walks by, And Mike's like Jenna, Alicia said that She would be a better second stew And Alicia's like, oh fuck off, I never said that And Jenna's like I don't give a fuck what Mike says Because everything's bullshit She's like, yeah, it's not even fucking funny, Mike Yeah, you don't actually know your place anymore You need to eat some fucking humble pie Remember, remember H.O.D. H.O.D. Mike Mike, actually, you just know what Fuck off your shambler hair you don't deserve to be here you think you can crack off you think you can crack off he's like who's got the mvp i do i do it's written on a pizza box and she literally like she makes it look like she's like jerking off her a dick she's like i don't give a if you have a if you're mvp i really don't he's like what's that seeing i don't i don't i don't i'll give a family of life back back so she's like this so she just runs to daisy she's like where's daisy and Alicia's telling Mike oh Jesus why would you try to start a war between Jenna and I get the fucking bedding god Mike do you know what annoys us the most how much shit she's feeding Eddie that's what she's betraying Eddie oh god Mike you would take Eddie's girl if you could so Alicia's like I actually don't care anymore I just want to do my job so I can go to bed so then Jenna just goes into Daisy's cabin and Daisy's like in the bathroom, fully in the bathroom.

58:57Ben Mandelker: Who knows if she's taking a dump? Who knows if she's showering? Jen just opens up the door to the bathroom and goes, Daisy, I can't work with Mike anymore. Like, what happened? It's just like, it's getting something now again, and he's like, at least here'd be a better second student than you, and he goes like, and remember, don't talk to me because I'm the fucking HOD, and it's like a fucking joke. It's like, really? It's pissing me the fuck off, Jen. That's like, Daisy. So Daisy's like, so Daisy like goes upstairs. God. So she goes up there, and she's like, Mike, what did you say? what did I say about winding people up?

59:26Huh?

59:29Ben Mandelker: And so he's like, yeah. He's like, well, I haven't said anything. He's like, no, you're not winding Jenna up. No, my word for word was, I'm the Dex too. I've got the head of department. Okay, you know what? You're working till 9 p.m. tonight. And so she storms that and he goes, we'll see about that. She comes back and storms back in. She goes, excuse me, what did you say to me? And he goes, I'm not working till 9 p.m. tonight. She goes, okay, you know what? Get off the boat. Get off the boat and take your plugs with you. We're turning around this bed. Turn around this bed. This bed is not going to Disneyland anymore.

1:00:05He's like, fine, I will. So he walks off and he's just whistling. He's like, look at me, call Mike. Call Mike. I don't care. Everyone's so touchy. So then we go to Joelle and Daisy and she comes down. She's like, Jesus fucking Christ.

1:00:18Ben Mandelker: We've never seen this happen where someone just gets sent to the dock They literally get sent to the time out. So Joao's like, what happened? Is something happening in Zimbabwe? She's like, fucking Mike. He was winding Jenna up. And I said, you're working till 9 p.m. And he said, we'll see about that. And I said, get off the boat. He's like, yes, that's not acceptable. Oh, it's super common. People come into yacht and think it's a vacation and take a couple of photos for social. And unfortunately, Mike is one of those people. surprise it's not all fun and games here i hope you got some great photos out of it but don't let the pastoral don't let the pastoral how do you say that word passarel ah don't let the passarel hit you on the way out oh passarel duh passarel passarel not related to passerebles so uh i've been showing this i've been covering this show non-stop for 14 years and i still don't know that word so daisy basically goes up to the bridge and um and so she's like she's like oh i'm just feeding my fish i've been doing it for about two hours they keep on dying on me i don't know why just feeding my fish here by the way i'm having a conversation with this one here do you know the difference between an elf and a hobbit.

1:01:44All right.

1:01:49Ben Mandelker: So Daisy is like, Mike is currently kicked off the boat. He's like, really? Why? What did he do? Well, yesterday I said, Mike, please don't wind anyone up. And this morning he's at it again. So I said, you're working till 9pm. And as I was walking out the door, he goes, I won't be working till 9pm. And I said, get off the boat. So this is where we're at. Like, well, he's off the boat. This sounds like you've handled this very professionally. Respect is not there. There's a history of that. Let's roll back on the history. There, we saw that. All right, you know, let's bring Mike in. All right, let's bring Mike in.

1:02:23Ben Mandelker: And the commitment to Below Deck Down Under, the reason why we have a fish report only with Below Deck Down Under is because, you know, every Below Deck franchise, they try to kind of create a different vibe. And so this is the one that's focused on scuba diving. And so they show a lot of fish, et cetera, but bubbles. the other thing is they have bubbles everywhere and so they have this flashback of like look at the terrible things that mike has done and he's like look at you daisy but like there's bubbles all over and it's just so funny that they're like the serious moment he's in trouble because he was being mean amongst bubbles it's just so funny that and like you notice that anytime they put up someone's name yeah anytime someone's name comes that comes up on screen there's bubbles everything.

1:03:06So funny. I've noticed the bubbles too. I mean, I've noticed them before, but last night I was like, okay with the bubbles. Okay. It's a lot of bubbles. So he's like, Mike, have a seat. And by the way, Mike goes to do his hair first before he gets fired, which is so him.

1:03:20Ben Mandelker: So funny. But he does it badly. He was wearing a hat, so he's trying to fix his hat hair. But it's great because he can't, because he can't spray it. So he puts all of his hair forward, but it's like flat and just strange. It looks like he just was sitting in front like in front of a fan for 10 minutes and he just looks crazier than normal yeah so the captain's like well have a seat mike now i've gotten the full story from daisy and what it's come down to is you know you've been disrespectful to your team later and worse you're making me do something i was getting somewhere with these fish so look you've been given warnings you're toxic your hair's stupid everyone hates you please rethink your eyebrows I'm sending you home.

1:04:01Mike's like, well, I apologize, Daisy, for how this whole season's been, to be honest, from start to finish. And us have used Entertaining Me as a release, and that's how I really feel. That's how I really feel.

1:04:13Ben Mandelker: All right, thank you. I appreciate the apology. He's like, yes, of course. So Jason's like, yes, just send Joao, go make sure that Mike gets off. He's like, yeah, well, it will be my first time getting off on this boat. He's like, all right, see, that's why you just got fired. Mike is like, no, this isn't the first time I've been sacked for being the class clown, for being the joker, for wanting to entertain. And the thing is, I can never change who I am. I'm like, you can. This is not changing who you intrinsically are. It's not changing your principles, your thoughts, your views, your worldview, how you relate to others, how you consider others.

1:04:49Ben Mandelker: It's just basically saying, you can be quiet. Like it's you not making those jokes, you not saying those things, you not annoying people. That is actually something you can't change. as not affecting who you intrinsically are. Changing your behavior. You can do that. And you're not in trouble for being a class clown or being a joker. You're in trouble for being an asshole. Okay? Yeah. And a shitty person. That's why. So, yeah, bye. There it is. So he leaves, and Daisy's like, Oh, good Lord, what's that? I was trying to poop. I've still got half a log in there. Do you mind? I'm proud of you not taking that shit, you know Oh, sorry, I shouldn't mention that I know what you're going through at the moment No pun intended We're all behind you We're all behind you Now, excuse me, I've got to get back to the tasting course I'm feeding my fish So now Jenna and Eddie are by the bar I think Matt just got fired I mean, he's packing his bags now And he's like, oh God The only person that tried to save me From horrible treatment on this boat so now um he texts uh not norma and says that he needs a replacement and they're like well only stews are available at this short notice i can tell you that we're not gonna be getting a lot of deck slash stew so good luck god nice job burning through that one loser by the way an elf is then a hobbit is the one with the flat feet and hairy feet okay that's that's hobbit i wonder if they were considering um moving ellie out of the kitchen because she was hired originally to be a stew so that would have been funny if they pulled her out of the kitchen but they're not so mike is right like that was a possibility i thought that might happen but now her and ben are like my friends so yeah mike is packing and uh ben is like oh well i love you mate i'm gonna really miss you you know that but that's what you get for betraying me with cock blocking he's like yes to me everything was just too serious i'm not a serious person and at the end of the day, you get Hairspray for Hairspray.

1:06:50Ben Mandelker: I've had a fantastic time. Yeah, exactly, Mike. Yeah, and I've enjoyed every moment being here and everyone I wanted to let know. None of this was personal. You know me? None of this was personal. And Lisa's like, I know, Mike. Just go, Mike. Personally, I don't think I did anything wrong. That's the problem. She's like, oh, God, you're joking, right, Mike? He's like, actually, I think I was perfect. See, you were having actually a relatively classy departure and just ruined it all over again. This is the problem. He just never knows when to stop. Let's also not forget about the time when he, how he like, he ruined that surprise and then he lied to the charter, the primary and said that like he never said it.

1:07:34Ben Mandelker: Like he's just been, he's just terrible in so many different ways. Congratulations. You've reached the end of part one of a two-part recap.
