Below Deck Sailing Yacht is sinking and Cocktail Hour Memories Part 2

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is running into the rocks

They missed on the casting of 2 key roles on the crew - the captain (I think) and the Chief Stew (for sure).

The preexisting relationship of Paget and his GF - is also a bad mix for this show. We don’t know their history, we’re not invested in their relationship “making it”. A couple nagging each other consistently isn’t great for “Below Deck” dynamic - that’s a very “Real Housewives” Energy.

The Charter Guests haven’t been compelling yet either (Cindy’s take). The guests help to stir the pot, and they haven’t done so, yet.

Cindy also said, “It’s got a Southern Charm Savannah feel to it.”

Unrelated observation - My Parents neighbors leave their Christmas lights on “all year” - and it really messes with your brain.
