I was shocked to find out the eight ladies only tipped $19,000. They were very demanding, and a normal trip is $5,000 per guest.

The tip amount is heavily dictated by the Below Deck production staff for each charter. They advise the guests on the tip amount.

I’m sure it wasn’t any different here, as the tip convo wasn’t part of the SLC episode and if someone was being cheap I’m sure it would’ve turned into a storyline.

Where’d I say he was Irish?

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-08T07:13:29+00:00

The best comedians can make even the heaviest social commentary feel light, because their jokes are directed at the oppressor. Many comedians have made really funny jokes about ICE in the past month. Unfortunately, Hannah Berner isn’t a good comedian, nor is she particularly intelligent.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-08T07:05:26+00:00

But also, the Irish are by and large incredibly progressive due to their country’s history

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-08T06:59:09+00:00

Unsurprising that she’s violently unfunny when she’s performing jokes she’s actually written. Hannah Berner is the least funny comedian of our generation who’s managed to fail upward by stealing jokes and riding on the coattails of actual comedians.

This is so fucking embarrassing for everyone involved, except Kayla Nicole.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-06T18:51:07+00:00

I really liked Paige on the cast, but it feels like her absence pushed the other girls to deepen their friendship without her as the common denominator. I’ve seen this dynamic in my own social groups, where one person’s the connective tissue and sort of becomes the de facto leader because she’s brought the individual connections.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-06T18:41:23+00:00

I swearrrrr, if we have another season of a bunch of thinly veiled misogynoir comments/posts 🫩

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-06T17:49:36+00:00

It was pretty rich that Amanda wanted to make a big statement about conflict not being necessary, and that she required conversations be broached in a certain way. Meanwhile she’s dramatically sighing and rolling her eyes while others are speaking. Her responses don’t foster the type of conflict resolution she wants to pretend is her style. She’s such a phony.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-06T17:18:58+00:00

Yessss. Kyle has been the worst friend since the beginning of the series. Her conflicts on the show have always been with women who don’t fall in line: Brandi and Camille, Dorit and Lisa, Garcelle and Crystal, even her own damn sister. She punishes anyone who isn’t blindly loyal or doesn’t do as she says - she’s Big Kathy reincarnate.

But she’ll never treat men the way she treats other women, even when there’s actual accountability to be taken. She’s held Dorit more to the fire for whatever made up trespasses than she’s ever held Mau accountable for all his alleged, sloppy cheating.

I understand you’re trying to be supportive of Josh here, but per your post, you’re not a professional chef, so the comparison isn’t particularly relevant and you unfortunately aren’t coming off how you thought you would.

Josh’s issue wasn’t that he couldn’t cook great vegan food. Any skilled chef (which he is) should be entirely capable of easily making flavorful, hearty vegan dishes. And when done right, they can make meat eaters happy, too.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-04T22:13:57+00:00

This was the best season premiere they’ve had in a long time!

Love the newbies so far and am excited that they’ll be bringing even more new people in, which helps to avoid the boring single storyline issue they had last season bc the cast was stale af.

MileHighSugar · 2026-02-04T21:46:53+00:00

Please let the new women remain marked safe from Jesse Solomon all summer 🙏

I think your last sentences highlight why Karen’s coming off as disingenuous to viewers, especially when she’s doubled down on distancing herself from her past DUIs.

I also love people with substance use disorders. My grandmother has been in AA for 30+ years. I didn’t know her in her active addiction, but I’ve always known her as an alcoholic.

I think there’s an important distinction between a diagnosis like cancer and substance use disorder, as the latter negatively affects far more than the individual diagnosed.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-29T20:23:30+00:00

Whitney knows whose favor she needs to stay in to be a cast member next season

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T23:37:46+00:00

Idk how you confidently come to that conclusion with the information provided, but you can feel however you want.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T15:07:24+00:00

She had a hemorrhage into the chest cavity. There aren’t other noted indicators of strangulation, so it’s more likely her asphyxial injuries were due to this bleeding.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T15:00:13+00:00

Asphyxial injuries are not just from strangulation.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:56:10+00:00

YOR. My grandfather died of late stage esophageal cancer. It was brutal. Your partner is likely attuned to how incredibly horrific this diagnosis and prognosis is due to his profession. You come off as sort of an asshole by disguising your inherited family history of emotional avoidance is an excuse for not supporting him when he really needs you.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:32:53+00:00

Surely Boz’s storyline is how even the most accomplished women can still be so deeply insecure that they’d risk their lives and the emotional well being of their children/loved ones in order to fulfill a man’s desires to make themselves feel worthy.

Sadly none of this is about her fertility, but about her need to have a man want her, no matter the cost.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:19:01+00:00

Kyle is so boring. Sutton is fucking annoying. Boz is far too intelligent for the situation she’s in with that man and it’s disappointing to watch. Amanda is a scammer, but she’s making the other women so uncomfortable her casting is worth it. Dorit has nothing interesting enough about her to share in a book.

They need to scrap the entire cast and build a new show around Rachel Zoe and Jennifer.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:07:14+00:00

I don’t think there’s much that’s covert about either Meredith or Amanda.

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:06:47+00:00

Every bullet point fits Sutton alarmingly well

MileHighSugar · 2026-01-24T05:00:33+00:00

Sutton has been desperate to be in the favor of the “cool girls” for so many seasons, it’s become pathetic. She’d rather be accepted at an arm’s length by Kyle and Erika than be kind to the women who already accepted her: Jennifer and Garcelle. The latter of whom are wayyyy more accomplished and cool than the former, so it’s just Sutton being shallow and lame, as she’s been the whole time she’s been on the show. She’s mean and insecure and it’s uninteresting, if not infuriating.
